    Well its undoubtedly a pacifist chapter. However, I cannot understand this part:

     

    "The wise man prefers the left. The man of war prefers the right" (Feng).

    "When the gentleman is at home, he honors the left; When at war, he honors the right (Henricks).

    "In ordinary life, a gentleman regards the left side as the place of honor: In war, the right side is the place of honor"(Wu).

     

    I can't imagine it been a political ideological theme or is it. <_<

    In addition to all the currently well-known antioxidants, here's a few "new" ones being currently researched:

     

    Astaxanthin may be the most powerful carotenoid antioxidant, particularly for the eyes.. You can get it from pinkish-reddish-colored ogranisms, particularly algae.

    Glutathione is another super-antioxidant that is naturally-produced in the human body.It can be boosted by taking precursors like cysteine or NAC (the stable form of the amino acid cysteine).

     

    Too new for me but very interesting article. I'll try it someday.

    the most powerful antioxidants on the planet are found in berries.

    gogi berries, blue berries, black berries, pomegranate..most berries, fruits and vegetables and some nuts and seeds have good antioxidant levels.

    green and white tea also.

     

    Well its obivous with berries and green/white tea, but I never thought of nuts and seeds.

    Everyone here on TTB looks down on you if you say you want a teacher who actually has developed abilities as a result of their training. I say if your practice doesn't develop abilities what exactly does it do? What's the point, and why listen to teachers that haven't accomplished anything themselves. Seems kinda silly to me but that's just my opinion.

    Again, Touche
