I haven't seen any hard evidence that meat and produce certified organic by any North American certification body is any better for us than non-certified produce.
I'm not trying to win any arguments or "convert" people in any way with my comments.
I'm interested in sharing that which I know to be true, simply because 1) I know it to be true, and 2) this knowledge can help others.
I'm not fanatical about any of the things I know, simply because I know them to be true. People aren't fanatical about the sun rising and setting, because they know this condition to be true.
People are, however, fanatical about ideas and concepts that they're desperately clinging to because they are on the verge of either letting go or being flung off.

Sure, you can read a lot of books and information on nutrition, and consult nutritional experts. Most of these opinions will be different, if not out and out oppositional.
Take someone's opinion and try it. Make a change; that's the only way to know. Otherwise, it's just academics and does nothing to help anyone anywhere.

The bottom line for any illness is: your body need nutrients, not antibiotics.
My advice for him is:
Get yourself a Champion Juicer off eBay for $120. Then go buy:
- 3 pounds of fresh ORGANIC ginger root
- 20 pounds of this year's crop ORGANIC carrots
- 2 pounds of ORGANIC beets (with the tops still on)
- 10 pounds of ORGANIC Russet/Mac apples
Use any of the above items (except ginger, see below) to make three 12 oz glasses of juice every day... and drink them! Mix and match as you please. Make sure to use at least 3 oz of ginger for EACH glass of juice. Don't juice the beet tops, but rather have them for dinner.
These ingredients should last you about 4 days. You'll feel better than you do now, and not only will you be fighting whatever's ailing you, this will be the beginning of resotring your body to its proper functioning state.
During this time, don't eat any:
- dairy products
- refined sugar
- products of any kind that contain white flour
- heated oils of any kind

Sure, this stuff isn't covered by any health insurance and will cost you some money, but it will do wonders for you if you stick with it.
Why juice?
Because without most of the fiber, your body will assimilate the nutrients far more quickly than eatier the solid foods.
Why organic?
Everything we eat is technically organic in a chemical sense (hydrocarbons), but organic fruits and vegetables don't have any pesticides sprayed on them, and are not genetically modified (knowingly). The job of filtering toxins by your liver and kidneys takes energy away from you, and ehen you're sick, your body needs all the energy it cdan get to increase your body's potential to fight.
Why make it myself fresh?
Juices in the store have all been pasteurized and therefore processed in some way. The pasteurization process (cooking, basically) kills off potentially harmful bacteria, which can be good, but it also kills the enzymes. Enzymes are needed to properly digest food and assimilate nutrients. The body can manufacture most enzymes needed to properly digest food, but this again requires quite a bit of enrgy on your body's part.
Jucing as a remedy and diet is akin to performing Spyware cleaning, aleminiating unneeded background processes, reclaiming precious clock cycles from your CPU for doing the things you want to do without bogging down.
Antibiotics destroy your immune system (I've been on them enough as a youngster to know), thus reducing your body's capacity to fight anything off. Although you should avoid them as much as possible due to their immuno-damaging effects, antibitotics can be helpful, but they need the help of the potential of your body. Although you may be weak from an invader such as a virus, your body's potential to help comes into strong play. Drinking these juices will help increase your body' potential.
I have nothing to gain by sharing this experience and advice with you, while your doctor has several. Trust nature, feed your body food not garbage, and get at least 15 minutes of direct sunlight on any part of your body, every day. Then go back and finish working on that Slackfix you gotta get done. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more information.

It takes more energy to turn the CO2 into a liquid than you could possibly ever extract by allowing it to evaporate and spin a turbine
Treating the process as a black box, I was thinking of possibilites to deal with the byproduct of liquid CO2, not even considering the ineffieciences within the black box itself.
Thanks,
Chris
...is mehead on mecrooked?
If for some ridiculous reason they planned to go ahead with this, a more realistic solution for the CO2 waste product would be to run the gas produced by the evaporating liquid CO2 through another turbine, effectively extracting more electrical energy from the process.

Apparently, Nigeria wasn't hit by any tornadoes since I'm still receiving several Nigerian letter scams emails daily. Sometimes I wish I'd get some sort of other spam, but no -- it's always Nigerian letter scams.

...you mean, we'll actually have to go outside and see live music in our neighbourhoods to hear something outside of mainstream? Gosh!
Slash their tires, then try to sell them new tires.
[Whose tires?? theirs...]
