💗😁 Wow! Thanks! Can’t wait to try some of those suggestions and recipes! Going to check out the others now and that really was an awesome poem. I love Caitlin Johnstone’s word craft. So gutsy, earthy, alive and emotion wrenching.

Thanks, glad to hear it!

And yes, tears were in my eyes for a bit after reading Caitlin's poem.

Doc may I have your thoughts on Full Pomegranate supplements like this one (Fruit+Flower+Seed)?

It might help, I have heard positive feedback about Dr. Mercola's capsule pomegranate product. It just isn't much for the price compared to prepping your own fruit in season, and the Life Extension 'soft gels' are made with gelatin. While the bottle says Non-GMO, that might only be referring to non-GMO pomegranate - which they all are.

My recipes tend to be about method and ratios more than specific "Follow these directions exactly..." steps. Just fair warning. I encourage people to experiment with the fresh fruit rather than buying pom peel supplement products.

One note - mango can be a problem for those with sensitivity to poison ivy .

I developed a reaction that turned my tongue gray , which peeled off , and gave me a blister on my peeling hand that looked like a steam burn , it was an inch high on my thumb. Can't imagine my insides.

On the pomegranate , I am planning on planting my tree this week.

Thanks and what fun re the pomegranate plant. Warning, if deer are in your area, put the pomegranate within a big fence because deer love the leaves - also medicinal and the flowers are too.
