Nowadays, when a great percentage of us have just cause to be concerned regarding an overload of chemicals added to the food we consume each and every day – here is a way of supplying ourselves with the freshest – albeit alive until we consume – mineral and vitamin nutrient-dense, tasty and remarkably cost-effective foodstuffs, which are available to everyone. Preparation could not be simpler! You can easily convert your kitchen, laundry-room, etc into a mini-organic garden – with the right choice of seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables and pulses – all without any noxious chemicals.

This particular course will provide information on how to buy, store and prepare “living foods”. It will also provide information to anyone wanting to rid themselves – and others - from problematical health conditions or simply to take their present health into higher echelons.
