A Powerful Way to Avoid Vitamin & Mineral Supplementation |

A Powerful Way to Avoid Vitamin & Mineral Supplementation |: "There is an amazing increase in nutrients in sprouted foods when compared to their dried embryo. In the process of sprouting, the vitamins, minerals and protein increase substantially with corresponding decrease in calories and carbohydrate content. These comparisons are based on an equivalent water content in the foods measured. Analysis of dried seeds, grains and legumes shows a very low water content. But this increases upto tenfold when the same food is converted into sprouts."

Living and Raw Foods: The Value of Sprouts

Living and Raw Foods: The Value of Sprouts: "The chemical changes that occur in the sprouting seed activate a powerful enzyme factory, never to be surpassed in later stage growth of any regumes (see article by Dr. Peavy). The rich enzyma concentration can lead heightened enzyme activity in your metabolism, leading to regeneration of the bloodstream.  Some vitamins increase during sprouting by 500%!"

Sprouting for Health

Sprouting for Health: "Among their other virtues is the fact that the seeds are low in cost, can be stored indefinitely, and are easy to grow, and, when sprouted, increase their nutritional value many times."

Living and Raw Foods: The Value of Sprouts

Living and Raw Foods: The Value of Sprouts: "Sprouting increases the enzyme content in these foods enormously, to as much as forty-three times more than non-sprouted foods."

Sprouting for Health

Sprouting for Health: "Processed foods often lack the vitamins and minerals necessary to a balanced diet. Research shows that, in sprouts, one finds one of the foods highest in vitamin and mineral content. Sprouts should, therefore, occupy a prominent place in the diet."

E. Remington and Sons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Remington's typewriter


Sholes & Glidden Typewriter, 1876
In 1867 Christopher Sholes, Carlos Glidden, and Samuel Lewis invented another typewriter. The Sholes and Glidden typewriter was the first device that allowed an operator to type substantially faster than a person could write by hand. The patent (U.S. 79,265) was sold for $12,000 to Densmore and Yost, who made an agreement with E. Remington and Sons (then famous as a manufacturer of sewing machines), to commercialize what was known as the Sholes and Glidden Type-Writer. Remington started production of their first typewriter on March 1, 1873 in Ilion, New York. The Type-Writer introduced the QWERTY, designed by Sholes, and the success of the follow-up Remington No. 2 of 1878 – the first typewriter to include both upper and lower case letters via a shift key – led to the popularity of the QWERTY layout.[1][2]"

The keyboard of the writing ball

Hansen Writing Ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: 

experimented with different placements of the letters to achieve the fastest writing speed. Malling-Hansen placed the letters on short pistons that went directly through the ball and down to the paper. This, together with the placement of the letters so that the fastest writing fingers struck the most frequently used letters, made the Hansen Writing Ball the first typewriter to produce text substantially faster than a person could write by hand.
