Haha, @thecryprofiend, thanks for reading and commenting. It's much appreciated!

Yeah, the whole Wilhelm Reich thing is everybody's own take it or leave it. The motherboard article I linked is well worth a read though imo.

One of my musical idols; Kate Bush, offers undeniable sincerity in her portraying of the unofficial story, and seeing as she let me borrow her personal delay and reverb unit for my last recorded track, I'd say that we were both singing from the same hymn sheet, as it were.

But this is just my instinct on it, based on personal experience and independent research. I guess the whole new-agey thing is quite common amongst us music artists.

Is there anything else in my guide that feels new-agey to you, apart from the Reich/Orgone thing? I'd be really interested to know.

In regards to the Berkey water filter, I think it's truly fantastic. The filtered water almost feels like a totally different texture, as mad as that may sound! The taste also far exceeds any mineral water that I have consumed. Although I have yet to drink directly from a spring, which I'm sure would take some beating!

You're right, we shouldn't be so obsessed with cleaning in the industrialised, "let's sterilize everything in our path" way we do. There are natural products that do a more than good enough job when it comes to keeping things hygienic, without ravaging the precious microbiome.

That's interesting about vitamin D deficiency being linked to darker skin, I wasn't aware of a connection before. I'll be looking into it. Thanks.

How does Kombucha taste? It depends on how much sugar and tea you put in the brew, and also how long you ferment it for. Depending on these factors, it ranges from sweet, a little tangy and highly refreshing like a healthy soft drink (if ever there was such a thing.....well, now there is), to sour and vinegary like a salad dressing.

I brew it so that the end result is somewhere in the middle, as I like the taste to be slightly tart. It is a naturally carbonated finished product too. Flavoring with fruit, herbs and spices also makes for fun, and tasty experimentation!

And in regards to the CBD, I can grow it because CBD is legal here, and the plant contains almost no THC (the negligible THC content is way under the permissible legal limit)

Again, thank you for reading and commenting. I really value your interaction :)
