Problems to control my anger.

I'm concerned about where to get spiruline, I asked to my relatives about that and no one knew it.

You should be able to find spirulina in just about any health food store, if their are any in your area.

Hi D Rusak

@About Cannabis: I'm afraid of smoking tabacco and you say that cannabis is better? And yes, is hard to get it and I don't feel prepared for smoking that... sorry...

I think RedFox meant to eat the hemp, not smoke it. The seeds are a high quality protein. I live in the US and don't recall ever seeing hemp seeds for sale in a store but it seems they are readily available over the internet. I have seen products containing hemp seeds such as granola, energy bars, and hemp milk in many stores here. I don't care for the taste of hemp milk personally, and it's expensive.

It was actually JEEP who suggested it, not me.

Hemp's seeds are available in Canada. You can find them in any organic food store. And the taste is very good.

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't able to go with my doctor, but I started to fix my dietary rutine. I'll also remark that Laura's breathing exercise helped me a lot. At least, after a LOT of time, I was able to cry and it happened right after I finished the exercise (Some minutes ago). I feel much better, I also was controlling myself to breath deeper after to "explode" again. It's all about selfcontrol, but I won't deny that I was destroying myself by eating vegetables (Since my blood type determinied that I should eat MEAT!), changing my sleep hours and I'll try to fix that too.

I will confess that I can't sleep right now and I decided to come here and post it, but I just wanted to tell you that.

@Pinkerton: Thanks for the info. There're a lot of stores like that in the city, I'll try to ask my sister about it since she knows more about herbs and the like.

@Namaste: I asked my brother and he told me that in Argentina is illegal to plant those seeds, so it'll be REALLY hard to find them. I'll investigate it, though. I've got some friends that used to smoke cannabis, so I'll ask first, I don't loss anything.

Again, thanks for your help. :)

Sorry Cyrus, I missed your response to my post. Here's the link of where I ordered my spirulina (in tablet form):
http://elitelabs.stores.yahoo.net/spir500mg100.html
Spirulina- 100 tablets Regular price: $6.99 Sale price: $2.40, 12/$24.00
I ordered 12, so $2 per bottle. I take total of two a day with fish oil capsules. I'm also taking acidophilus which several years ago, by itself, totally ended a recurring bladder infection for me.

When I read the article, http://www.sott.net/articles/show/188142-The-Emperor-Wears-No-Clothes, I didn't think there would be any legal way to obtain any form of hemp in the good old USA, although I know some states have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, so this is good to know that hemp seeds can be obtained over the internet. I was referring to the ingestion of hempseeds as opposed to smoking pot, although, if you read the article, both are very beneficial to health depending on the disorder you wish to treat. More on the oil/hemp butter below:

Hempseed oil is among the lowest in saturated fats at 8% of total oil volume. The oil pressed from hempseed contains 55% linoleic acid (LA) and 25% linolenic acid (LNA). Only flax oil has more linolenic acid at 58%, but hempseed oil is the highest in total essential fatty acids at 80% of total oil volume.

These essential fatty acids are responsible for our immune response. In the old country the peasants ate hemp butter. They were more resistant to disease than the nobility. The higher classes wouldn't eat hemp because the poor ate it. - R. Hamilton, ED.D., Ph.D. Medical Researcher-Biochemist U.C.L.A. Emeritus.

LA and LNA are involved in producing life energy from food and the movement of that energy throughout the body. Essential fatty acids govern growth, vitality and state of mind. LA and LNA are involved in transferring oxygen from the air in the lungs to every cell in the body. They play a part in holding oxygen in the cell membrane where it acts as a barrier to invading viruses and bacteria, neither of which thrive in the presence of oxygen. The bent shape of the essential fatty acids keeps them from dissolving into each other. They are slippery and will not clog arteries like the sticky straight-shaped saturated fats and the trans-fatty acids in cooking oils and shortenings that are made by subjecting polyunsaturated oils like LA and LNA to high temperatures during the refining process.

LA and LNA possess a slightly negative charge and have a tendency to form very thin surface layers. This property is called surface activity, and it provides the power to carry substances like toxins to the surface of the skin, intestinal tract, kidneys and lungs where they can be removed. Their very sensitivity causes them to break down rapidly into toxic compounds when refined with high heat or improper storage exposes them to light or air.

Nature provides seeds with an outer shell that safely protects the vital oils and vitamins within from spoilage.

It's a perfect, as well as, perfectly edible container. Hempseed can be ground into a paste similar to peanut butter only more delicate in flavor. Udo Erasmus, Ph.D. nutritionist says: "Hemp butter puts our peanut butter to shame for nutritional value." The ground seeds can be baked into breads, cakes and casseroles. Hempseed makes a hearty addition to granola bars.

For those of you who don't know why hemp/marijuana became illegal/demonized, please read:

In the early days of our nation, the hemp plant (a.k.a. cannabis) proved a valuable resource for hundreds of years, instrumental in the making of fabric, paper and other necessities. This changed during the Industrial Revolution, which rendered tree-pulp papermaking and synthetic fibers more cost-effective through the rise of assembly line manufacturing methods. A more efficient way of utilizing hemp was a bit slower in coming.It was not until the early 1930's that a new technique for using hemp pulp for papermaking was developed by the Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the patenting of the hemp decorticator (a machine that revolutionized the harvesting of hemp). These innovations promised to reduce the cost of producing hemp-pulp paper to less than half the cost of tree-pulp paper. Since hemp is an annually renewable source, which requires minimal chemical treatment to process, the advent of hemp pulp paper would allegedly have been better for the environment than the sulfuric acid wood-pulping process. Hemp had many champions, who predicted that its abundance and versatility would soon revitalize the American economy. William Randolph Hearst, media mogul, billionaire and real-life model for Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, had different ideas. His aggressive efforts to demonize cannabis were so effective, they continue to color popular opinion today.In the early 1930's, Hearst owned a good deal of timber acreage; one might say that he had the monopoly on this market. The threatened advent of mass hemp production proved a considerable threat to his massive paper-mill holdings -- he stood to lose many, many millions of dollars to the lowly hemp plant. Hearst cleverly utilized his immense national network of newspapers and magazines to spread wildly inaccurate and sensational stories of the evils of cannabis or "marihuana," a phrase brought into the common parlance, in part due to frequent mentions in his publications.

The sheer number of newspapers, tabloids, magazines and film reels that Hearst controlled enabled him to quickly and to effectively inundate American media with this propaganda. Hearst preyed on existing prejudices by associating cannabis with Mexican workers who threatened to steal American jobs and African-Americans who had long been the subject of white American venom (see accompanying articles). An ironic side-note: much of this racism had already been perpetrated by the propaganda of Hearst, an unabashed racist. The American people had already developed irrational hatred for these racial groups, and so readily accepted the ridiculous stories of their crazed crimes incited by marihuana use.

Hearst was not alone in his scheme to destroy hemp production. The new techniques also made hemp a viable option for fabric and plastics, two areas of manufacturing which together with paper seriously threatened DuPont chemicals, which at this time specialized in the chemical manufacturing of synthetic fiber and plastics, and the process of pulping paper. In fact, Hearst and Lammont DuPont had a multi-million dollar deal in the works for joint papermaking. So these two moguls, together with DuPont's banker, Andrew Mellon, bravely joined forces to stave off the bitter onrush of bankruptcy. They combined Hearst's yellow journalism campaign (so called because the paper developed through his and DuPont's methods aged prematurely) and the appointment of Mellon's nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to Commissioner of the newly created Federal Bureau of Narcotics in order to successfully stamp out the threat of hemp production.This document may be reproduced whole or in part for "Reefer Madness" promotional purposes.

Of course today, the threat is to the pharmaceutical companies:

Why did the drug companies conspire to take over marijuana research? Because U.S. government research (1966-1976) had indicated or confirmed through hundreds of studies that even "natural" crude cannabis was the "best and safest medicine of choice" for many serious health problems.
[...]
Omni suggests, and NORML and High Times concur, the reason the drug companies and Reagan/ Bush , Sr./Clinton/Bush, Jr. have wanted only synthetic THC legal is that simple extractions of the hundreds of ingredients from the cannabis crude drug would be enjoyed without pharmaceutical company patents which generate windfall monopolized profits.

Eli Lilly, Pfizer and others stand to lose at least a third of their entire, highly profitable, patent monopoly on such drugs as Darvon, Tuinal, Seconal, and Prozac (as well as other patented medications ranging from muscle ointments to burn ointments, to thousands of other products) because of a plant anyone can grow: cannabis hemp.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. :( And now we all should be getting angry!!!
