bean me

hello eg i met sharks here in bali, he told me u got many cactiseeds. if u like to trade with my own rifat kratom, white mucuna, hbwr, lotus/lillies or anything else from indonesia. cheers bean

from my experience they do very poor in loamy and wet soil. i took it back to a pot! but in dusty soil under trees them do better than in full sun. im in tropical climate. i wonder if i should cover them in the rainyseason ?

kalmegh (andrographis paniculata) is a fantastic healer ! i make capsules with the leaves as they are superbitter.

i got plenty seeds SAB stock just drying up on the vine however i m outside oz in indo land, not sure about custom regulations...

sorry my brain too wormwoody last night... it is Schleicera oleosa which contains also Betulin, a powdery substance in the outer bark of the birch tree, has been shown to help wounds heal faster and cut inflammation. Many cosmetic companies, touting it as a skin toner and restorer, add birch bark extract to various products. And a birch bark compound, betulinic acid, is being tested as a treatment for melanoma and other serious diseases. Yet despite its medicinal potentials, the white bark is usually burned once the birch trees are harvested for lumber. "This is a miracle which nature synthesized for us and we are burning this miracle like cheap fuel," Krasutsky said. But that's changing, thanks to a partnership between a paper company, an energy company and University of Minnesota-Duluth's Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI), which houses Krasutsky's laboratory. NaturNorth Technologies LLC, formed in 2000 by NRRI, Potlatch Corp. and Synertec, has developed a patented process to cost-effectively isolate pure betulin and other compounds from birch bark in very large quantities. Building on university research, NaturNorth scientists also have patented a way to convert betulin to betulinic acid. The partners, whose venture is based in Duluth, are hoping the demand for birch bark compound will grow and turn their venture into a profitable one. "It could be a nice income stream. The university is ... getting less state support, so we're looking at ways to get better value out of its intellectual property," said Michael Lalich, NRRI director. Potlatch, a wood products and paper producer, can contribute raw material - at least 100,000 pounds of birch bark daily. The bark yields about 10 percent betulin, "so we literally can get tons of this stuff a day," said Robert Carlson, a university chemistry professor who is working on the project. Once the compounds are isolated, scientists can produce new derivatives to expand the range of potential uses. That's how NaturNorth creates betulinic acid from betulin. NaturNorth, which has only small test production capabilities, pays a company in Prince Edward Island, Canada, to do the large-scale production work and another in Chicago to do smaller-scale derivative work, mostly for cosmetics use. Although birch bark extracts already are used in some cosmetics - including products by Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden, Almay and many smaller companies - NaturNorth offers the pure compounds found in the bark. The company recently signed a contract to supply to International Specialty Products, a New Jersey company that sells specialty chemicals and mineral products to cosmetic companies. "They have good access, a large sales force and, we believe, the ability to bring our product lines into all the major cosmetic companies with credibility," said Dave Gibson, a consultant in charge of commercial development for NaturNorth. To get to this point, however, NaturNorth had to find a way to remove the small amount of betulinic acid that occurs naturally in birch bark before it could offer any compounds to the cosmetics industry. Unilever NV had patented the use of betulinic acid in cosmetics and licensed the exclusive worldwide patent rights to Premier Specialties Inc., of Middlesex, N.J. Premier has sold birch bark extract to the cosmetics industry since the mid-1990s. NaturNorth expects to benefit from supplying pure birch bark compounds other than betulinic acid for use in cosmetics. But the ability to isolate and derive betulinic acid from the pure compounds - especially changing the betulin molecule to create betulinic acid in large quantities - is what has Krasutsky thinking of white gold. Betulinic acid has been explored as a potential treatment for skin cancer for more than a decade. Betulin, its derivatives and other birch bark compounds also are being tested for effectiveness in treating HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which can cause severe cold-like symptoms and pneumonia. The bark compounds and derivatives also are being tested for effectiveness in crop disease management and preventing fungus growth on golf course turf. In addition to their other patents, Carlson, Krasutsky and colleagues have patented the use of betulin to treat the blisters caused by herpes, and have other patent applications pending. Carlson said NaturNorth hopes to supply betulinic acid and its derivatives to other scientists doing clinical tests on disease treatments, and, ultimately - if the tests are successful - becoming the supplier when the products are commercialized. No human testing has been conducted yet on betulinic acid as a treatment for melanoma, HIV or RSV, he said, but those tests are planned once researchers get regulatory approval. A Russian company, Birch World Ltd. of Moscow, also has developed a method of isolating betulin from birch bark and has been producing commercial quantities for nine months, said company vice president V. Vdovenko. Birch World sells cosmetics and food supplements containing betulin in Europe and Japan, but has no North American customers, he said. NaturNorth isn't looking for big profits anytime soon. Gibson said the company expects it will take five to 10 years before it's generating as much as $10 million in annual revenue.

the birch tree contains some compound that really helps for skin cancer. the tropical version would be schefflera ssp. ( hope my brain still works ) kalmegh (andrographis paniculata) taken internally could also help !

i got plenty, also super fresh from SAB stock, but notice i m out of oz ! will sell or swap or what

i've been making up my own mossie-repellant mix using neem (azadirabta indica), lemongrass- and nutmeg-oil diluted with some etoh and water. that mix works for most insects including ants and soothes skinrashes as well. but its not stable meaning the killer effect decreases with time and i wonder if anyone has a idea to make it more stable, maybe some kind of antioxidant ? anyone wants to put up their mossie - mixes ?

good info T, but thats a lot of coffe i'd need for around 3 m3 of water. turtels or some other predator... ? maybe i try ephedrine, those poor slow creatures would speed their minds up and run amok ?

too many small (max 7 mm) snails are having a great time on my waterlilie-leaves. i wonder if there is a natural pesticide that kills the snails but is harmless for my goldfish comet ?

works well just after coming down from shrooms or other sensitisers (HBWR), visuals come back in a new fashion ! make a paste out of it and mix it with some starch (eg ricepowder) and allply it on the body. or do that with the oil, it helps to soothe muscleaches and lifts up. however, a etoh extraction of it eates up placsticcontainers... is that a reason to worry ?

hi sphinx do you work only with the protools soundcard or use an additional one like onboard / soundblaster or the like ? meaning what soundcard u go through when postmixing ? hope u can enlighten me on that one, thanks b4 ! bean

i ve seen it mention there is a season to harvest scelly, any ideas, experiences anyone ? one the rain sets in i get a lot of rot, so i suppose to cut em down befor the rain.
