yeah, it is always the same, me and mango

we are enjoying very sweet australian summer fruits, it is always an exciting experience, either we drink or eat our raw fresh fruit meals. i always love sharing fruit with others, especially with my sweet mango, he is a true fruitarian like me, and we share the fruit spirit. it is a delight for me to look in to the eyes of another fruitarian. mango is my mirror. when i look at him i see myself. it is a pure delight to touch the skin of another fruitarian. surely it is not only fruit alone that twines us together. to speak for myself mango is perfect for me. as soon as i met him (on the internet first), i could see myself in him. i knew he is the ONE for me. till today his website remains to be my most favorite one.

...yeah, it is always the same, me and mango we are enjoying very sweet australian summer fruits, and since the last post we shared many many and many very sweet juicy and delicious mangoes, as is or blended, some very mysterious and satisfying durians, heaps of white nectarines full of living juice and yumminess, yeah, they just melted, it was like eating juice. white nectarines are one of my favorite fruits, and i could live solely on them for days/weeks... oh, with sweet raw fruit, eating is truly a heavenly experience for me... we were drinking very tasty oranges, and green grapes, eating pealed tomatoes and lebanese cucumbers with some sweet or hot or hot hot hot chillies. avos, only mango. some juicy and almost black cherries, and another fruit i love so much red paw paw.

we were also swimming in the ocean, relaxing under the hot sun, and that is also much more fruitarian fun, when mango is around.

markets are more fun since we are in a better place.

i am still reading anna karenina

visiting friends, singing and some drawing, cleaning, washing, driving, walking, ringing my mum, reading on the net, etc... still, not much writing.

i just started tonight, to test drive a new (second hand) key board, which mango found, and i cannot stop, first i was writing some of my thoughts in czech, and then i jumped here...yeah, it is easy with my spaceship, but truly, i would be lost without sweet mango, at times, he navigates me, or even takes over, pushing the right buttons, taking me the places i want to be.

well, i had 2 avos, a few days ago, and voila, i was sick so i drank aloe, a few hours later i went to sleep and in the morning i was feeling even more sick, and i was constipated. i thought i was going to throw up, and i had to drink aloe twice and soon after the second time i fell asleep, and i slept in peace like a baby for 2 hours and shortly after i woke up the constipation left me and i was healed. oh, i thought i may try to have some avo, and see what happens, and i learned that my body is fully rejecting it. i feel like my fruitarian path has reached a new level. wow, to amazing raw fresh fruit. yum, yum, yum... so yummy and perfect. it takes me to magic places.

life is beautiful

sunday market recycling

is a great way to save some human and land resources and make some pocket money. me and mango we skipped the previous sunday as it was cold and rainy, but the sunday after was a very hot and sunny day, the sun was so strong, that my forehead got sunburned. yeah, it happens to me sometimes that i get sunburned especially when i do not move enough while in the sun, but i never make a big deal from it because i have and apply my magic fresh aloe vera plants with it's healing and pain killing powers when it is needed.

it is not only recycling i like about the sunday markets. it is also interaction with others, i find it very interesting, educational and entertaining. mango seems to have a good time as well, and we make a great team.

this sunday we were more hungry than usual and we shared twice some very sweet fresh and yummy nectarines and later on raw fresh orange juice made on the spot by mango. after markets we enjoyed mango orange drinks and then tomato with lebanese cucumber pealed and chopped for me and the same with avo for mango. yes, i am still off the yummy avocados, because my body mind and spirit say no to them. yes, taste buds say yes, but i say no.

summer time is here and we love it.



yummy mango at kingsford markets



and me...come and see us :)

summer fruits and sun burn

me and mango are enjoying yummy and sweet summer fruits. this year fruit is more sweet and less expensive.

there  are  plenty  of  summer  fruits  in  fruit  shops  and  in  our  shoebox.  last  few  days  we  let  in  our  bloodstream: durians, nectarines, lychees, longans, mangoes blended in grape juice, grape juice, blended rock melons, pealed and chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, and only mango is having some avos.

well, yesterday was friday, mango's fasting day and i was drinking all day mango and grapes or just grapes, and i ate some nectarines.

day before yesterday  me and mango visited one of our local beaches and we had lovely relaxing time and few swims. it was so awesome to be on the sun again after few cloudy rainy days.  i burned my face badly.  think was i could not feel it. only the next morning my face was burning and very swollen. yeah, it happened before. once or twice. in those times i am thankful for aloe vera in my life. i know aloe is not fruit, but i use only bottom leaves and plant is still alive..so i believe i  do not kill the plant. i use aloe vera for many years now and it save me few visits to dentist, and lot of pain from small injuires. well, i have to admit that i am in love with aloe vera.

well, another sunny day is ahead, me and mango started with blended rockmelon and now i am going to join mango in our garden...

life is beautiful,


my beloved habiscus grown by me from tiny twig, it was stolen by neighbour whom do not like trees, just because birds go there and sing, and that iritates her.

magic aloe vera and b12

aloe vera

i find aloe vera most amazing plant in the universe. well truly i do not know all plants, but i know heaps of them, because i always love to be curious about them.

aloe vera is one of few plants which contain so popular vitamin b 12. i find some people take vitamin b 12 "medication or suplements" . i personally believe in fresh real aloe vera gell. here is some info on b12 from sweet mango: http://mangodurian.blogspot.com/search/label/b12

aloe vera was introduced me here in australia, i straight away fell in love with it. aloe vera and fruits are plants i love to have in my life. i used to read a lot about herbs from about the age of 25. i love their healing powers and the way they look.

once i began using aloe vera i was amazed by its strong healing powers. i find them to be universal.

from the books i read on just about aloe vera, and from my own experiences and experiences of the lucky ones whom used aloe vera thanks to my recomendation.

here is some info for ya...

aloe vera

history and folklore

the paintings of aloe vera plants fond on the temple and tomb walls of ancient egypt reflect that mans relationship with this plant dates back to around 4,000 b c

however, it was the greek an roman physicians, dioscorides and pliny around 60 a d, that have provided us with the most detailed documentation of aloe vera`s wide array of applications. these noted medics used the plant to heal wounds and skin abrasions, insect bites, boils, bruises, sore throats, bleeding gums, hemorrhoids, dysentery as well as a purgative.

not only that but legends have it that two of the most alluring egyptian queens, nefertiti and cleopatra, relied on aloe vera to maintain their unlined and youthful complexions.

nutritional profile

aloe vera is a veritable storehouse of nutritional compounds which work together to give its powerful healing properties. these are some of those identified:

vitamins

a  b1b2 b3 b6 b12 ;D c e folic acid choline

minerals

calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium, magnesium, manganese, copper, chromium, zinc,

mucopolysaccharides and polysacharides

cellulose, glucose, mannose, aldonentose, hamnose, acemannan essential amino - acids isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine secondary amino - acids aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, arginine, cystine, glycine, histicline, hydroxyproline, proline serine, tyrosin enzymes phosphatase, amylase, lipase, catalase, creatine phosphokinase, nucleotidase, cellulase, alkaline phosphatase, proteolytase fatty acids all unsaturated fatty acids, caprylic acid other synergistic healing nutrients lignin, saponins, anthraquinones

thousands of healing benefits from using aloe vera are now well documented. many doctors around the world are actively using aloe vera either alongside or as an alternative to conventional treatments where orthodox medicines have failed.

aloe vera has been described as a potent natural product which the body recognizes. with its synergistic enzymes it can be a very powerful force which help the body heal itself.

extensive scientific research in the united states and the former soviet union has been conducted to determine the pharmacological basis of aloe vera. hundreds of these scientific studies and journals were reviewed by dr bill coats f. ph . who then reported in his book the silent healer - a modern study of aloe vera that aloe vera has the following proprieties:

anti-inflammatory - counteracts or suppresses the inflammatory process

analgesic - relieves pain deep beneath the surface.

anti-pruitic - relieves itching

humectant - moisturizes, promoting retention of water in skin tissue.

proteolytic - enzymatically dissolves and digests damaged or dead tissue cells enhancing the process of healing.

regenerative - stimulates the growth of skin cells

antipyretic - relieves the heat of burns, inflammation and fever

absorbefacient - promotes absorption through tissues

fungistatic - inhibits replication of viruses

detoxifying - helps cleanse and purify the body

bacteriostatic - inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and promotes the growth of healthy bacteria

more recently, in 1992, j c pittman wrote a short review and summary of the stimulatory nature of aloe vera on the immune system whereby he concluded - "acemannan, /a polysaccharide fraction found in aloe/ has direct effects on the immune system. activating and stimulating macrophages, monocytes, antibodies and t- cells"

the immune system of the stomach is one of the body`s first lines of defense against sickness, so a healthy immune system leads to a better state of health

for over 6 000 years dramatic improvements in many health problems have been ascribed to she daily use of aloe vera juice. the natural nutrients and other ingredient contained in the juice, supplement those of our bodies. these work synergistically to stimulate the natural healing mechanism of the body, improving tissue function at a cellular level. when the cells function more effectively it isn`t long before the whole body starts to respond.

aloe vera can be used internally for assisting the detoxification process, and as part of a recuperation programme for:

joint discomfort and associated conditions

heart burn and associated conditions

constipation and diarrhea

digestive disorders e. g. indigestion

stomach upsets

candida

bowel disorders

allergies

scaly skin conditions e.g. eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis

deeply nourishing and revitalizing the skin

aloe vera gel can be used externally to assist in the healing of many conditions uncurling:

burns, scalds and sunburn

insect bites, plant and insect stings

scratches, scrapes and minor abrasions

skin care, softening and moisturizing

itchy rashes and scaly skin conditions eg. psoriasis, eczema and other kin irritation

also very effective in dentistry and injury healing

to nourish and beautify

upon application, aloe vera deeply penetrates the many layers of the skin. it delivers nutrients and moisture to the newly formed skin cells, which helps prevent the loss of collagen and elastin fibers that age the skin

aloe vera is universally acclaimed to be one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the appearance of your skin

it also help rebalance skin pH, acts as a gentle astringent, firming and toning, as well as protecting the skin against blemishes. it does this by dissolving away dry, dead surface skin cells that clog and dull your complexion and interfere with normal oxygen exchange

as a moisturiser, aloe vera works in two ways. firstly, through is polyaccharides, it creates a barrier that prevents moisture loss, so the kin remains moist for a longer period of time.

secondly, it can carry nutrients and moisture through the many layers of the skin down to the dermis, which is the heart of nourishment for the skin. in the dermis, fibroblasts are then stimulated to produce collagen. it is the breakdown, or loss, of collagen that contributes to the visible signs of aging. fibroblast cells are responsible for the manufacture of collage, the protein that supports the skin, keeping it firm and supple.

to assist in skin healing

research conducted at the university of chicago hospital and wayne state university in detriot, by john p heggers, ph. d., martin c robson, m.d, and other researchers, has shown that using aloe vera to treat thermal injuries can retard the effects of the burn and revitalize damaged skin cells.

a research study at the shriner`s burn institute, showed 82% tissue survival when aloe vera was applied to the injured area. the simultaneous use of aloe vera juice taken internally and applied topically to a burn of the skin may result in more rapid healing than external application alone.

the survivors of nagasaki and hiroshima were helped by the regular use of aloe vera, which soothed and healed their radiation burns.

aloe vera heals x - ray radiation as well.

forest and dentist

yesterday night when i finished my post here @my fruity blog, i had fun painting my first ever forest picture. i drew and painted many of single trees, as they are one of my favorite things to make pictures of. paining forest is a very new experience for me i am learning as i go. from what i see. i feel strongly connected to it from the beginning, even my trees resemble more of computer bare code, as mango put it...i could see it too but i also knew there is still lot of brush strokes ahead and for many days i look for while at forest picture at times before i am sure of my next one. and for the first time i am using watercolor pencils, plus already familiar and for me very exciting watercolors, and it is also first big/size picture for me,  witch already seem bit small, ha, ha,ha..

yesterday morning i was working on getting my mind of dentist thoughts. one very old filing come out and i decided to see dentist about it. she told me that it need to come out the next time i come see her, and she find another one.  then she said i do not have problems with teeth but with gums, from not cleaning my teeth the right way or not enough. i decided to heal my gums with fresh aloe vera.

soon after i woke up i shared with mango delicious blended mango in grape juice for the first time. twice.

around 6pm when i returned from dentist and visiting friend whom also had appointment, i and mango enjoyed avo, libanise cucumber and tomato, cut up and mixed.  much later i had one orange juiced in mouth and one big banana as is.

yesterday i got lot of big compliments from friend, and her teenage daughter and her friends about my skin, look, and personality. it made me feel awesome.

life is sweet,

some fruit me and mango shared on the end of last winter, we are drinking rock melons blended. yum.
