On the back of the original recipe card it said, “from Agnes Kleppinger 10/57” The Kleppingers were next-door neighbors to the Callahans near Allentown, Pennsylvania from 1952 to 1957. The Kleppingers were farmers who kept their goats in the trailer that Clinton loved to visit even though his Mom told him not to. When Clinton snuck back home after being with the goats he would wonder why his Mom always knew where he had been... (story continues on the recipe...)

Apple Crisp
(COOKBOOK.49 for StartOver.xyz)
Of all the recipes in the Possibilica Cookbook this is the recipe I have made most often. Why is that? I think it is because apples are so plentiful in the lands I have lived lately, and this sweet warm oats apple cinnamon combination... must have been invented in Valhalla. It is cooked fruits and whole grains. I hope you enjoy serving this to your friends as much as I have.

Remedies
Here we share some medicinal remedies that we have found to be useful and effective for living well in this amazing and expanding Universe.
Nervine
(COOKBOOK.60 for StartOver.xyz)
The herbalist and author Lalitha Thomas formulated this all natural nervous system balm for us after participating in several of our trainings. She designed the mix to ease stress from adrenals and calm the nerves, while at the same time increasing creative stamina in transformational spaces. Several Possibility Managers gather and grind the ingredients from herb shops in Germany and assemble the capsules. Or you can follow this recipe and do it yourself. If your condition is chronic this is no solution, but Nervine can give your body a chance to gather its resources and start over refreshed and balanced.
Turmeric Chai Latte
(COOKBOOK.61 for StartOver.xyz)
Inflammation is when a part of the body becomes reddened, hot, swollen, or painful. Inflammation can cause stiff or painful joints, and can affect internal organs. Turmeric has long been known to effectively reduce inflammation without side effects, however their are some tricks for assuring that the turmeric has its full effect, such as heating up the turmeric in combination with pepperine from freshly ground black pepper and some oil. I learned this recipe for Turmeric Chai Latte from my daughter Aurora Leroux, who also heals her horses with turmeric, and makes amazingly gentle natural soap from hand-harvested donkey milk from her own donkeys in France. (https://www.arcoulane.com/commandes/)
MSM plus Vitamin C
(COOKBOOK.62 for StartOver.xyz)
Combining MSM powder (methylsufanylmethane - a source of organic sulfur) and Vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) was explained to me by the healer Dahlia Abramovic (http://4-koerper-osteopathie.de) and it seems to really help maintain healthy strong joints in the knees, elbows, wrists, fingers, neck...
The body uses and is made of so much sulfur but no minimum daily requirement has yet been established. This does not mean you don't need it.
Raw Squash Seeds
(COOKBOOK.63 for StartOver.xyz)
Pin Worms are common intestinal parasites in humans, mostly harmless, but which can cause anal itching during the night when they come out to lay their eggs. You can sometimes see them if you examine your shit in the toilet.
It turns out that eating (chewing thoroughly) 2 or 3 tablespoons of raw green shell-less squash seeds a day will kill them off. This works for both adults and children. It is a specific vermicide for pin worms.
Certain foods (such as red beets or poppy seeds) can cause some people's bodies to have hemorrhoids, or swollen veins. Some people's veins bulge out or get damaged easily from being bumped, and then they can be quite painful or take a long time to shrink back to normal size. In these cases, a simple tea made of dried Butcher's Broom roots (Ruscus aculeatus) can do wonders.
Bardo Special
(COOKBOOK.65 for StartOver.xyz)
Can you remember a time when a perfectly wonderful conversation or initimacy space was suddenly subsumed by a shadow and sank into a swamp of low drama out of which you could not escape? We could call that a Bardo Space. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to fortify your 5 bodies and make you more immune to getting sucked into a Bardo Space? Or, even if you are in a Bardo Space, to have a way to get out of it? Well, cheer up! Now you have it! The Bardo Special.
Ear Pressure Points
(COOKBOOK.66 for StartOver.xyz)
A painful imbalance can sometimes occur in the ear, in infants, children, or adults. When you know this pressure point remedy the pain can disappear within minutes without any further treatments or medications. Many a good night's sleep has been recovered by applying this simple technique.
Relaxing Eye Exercises
(COOKBOOK.67 for StartOver.xyz)
Staring straight ahead at a flat screen up close can tire the eyes to the extreme and weaken their natural ability to rapidly re-refocus from near to far away and back. These exercises take a minute or so to do and if you do them once a day the world stays bright and shiny. This does not stop global warming, but it may be the next best thing!

(Stop Eating) Dish Soap
(COOKBOOK.68 for StartOver.xyz)
This is an IMPORTANT preventive remedy - meaning, if you STOP EATING DISH SOAP you can prevent you and your family from getting potentially dangerous illnesses. The experiment is straightforward. Thoroughly rinse all the soap off of your glasses, AND dishes, AND cutlery, both from the dishwasher and the sink, before using them. Why? Simple. Soaps, and even more so, detergents, dissolve fat. The walls of your cells are made from fat. By putting soap products into your body you dissolve your cell walls. Soap is one of the worst toxins you can put into your body. Some people wash dishes and let them dry with the soap still on them. Then they eat and drink the soap. Yikes! Stop it! Rinse all the soap off each dish while washing them. Automatic dishwashers? Yes. Try this experiment. Take a glass that has been washed in a dishwasher and fill it directly from the faucet with fresh cold water. Notice how long the bubbles stay at the top of the water. Now, thoroughly rinse out that glass from the chemical residue left on it from the dishwashing tablet that prevents drops from forming when it dries. Fill up the rinsed-out glass from the same faucet and notice how long the bubbles stay at the top of the water. They should disappear almost immediately. Before they probably remained for a few seconds longer due to the chemical residue that you drink each time you don't rinse the glass from the dishwasher! Let this be a lesson!
Meadowsweet / Mädesüß
(COOKBOOK.69 for StartOver.xyz)
Filipendula ulmaria, commonly known as Meadowsweet or Mead Wort in English, and as Mädesüß in German, is a perennial herb in the family Rosaceae (the family of apples and roses), and grows in damp meadows. It is native throughout most of Europe and Western Asia (Near east and Middle east). It has been introduced and naturalized in North America. The botanical name 'ulmaria' means 'elmlike', in reference to its individual leaves which resemble those of the elm tree (Ulmus). Like slippery elm bark bark, Meadowsweet contains salicylic acid, which has long been used as a painkiller. In 1897, Felix Hoffmann created a synthetically altered version of salicin, derived from Meadowsweet, which caused less digestive upset than pure salicylic acid. The new drug, acetylsalicylic acid, was named 'aspirin' by Hoffmann's employer Bayer AG after the old botanical name for meadowsweet, Spiraea ulmaria.
In short, by eating 1 or 2 fresh raw Meadowsweet / Mädesüß leaves, your headache will go away.
A tea made from Filipendula ulmaria flowers or leaves has been used in traditional Austrian herbal medicine for the treatment of rheumatism, gout, infections, and fever.
If you find Meadowsweet / Mädesüß growing wild you can transplant some to your herb garden, or you can order it from your local nursery.
