flaxseed alone, it has this mucilaginous gel that’s

Another thing to consider, when we’re talking

about information, we are fundamentally a
holograph. You can keep going down in scale or
up in scale, and patterns repeat. It’s called self-
similarity. Well, food is holographic in the same
way. And that’s why when you get processed gunk
that they sell as food, it’s not going to really work
with the body and promote health. So what we’re
doing here is we’re giving our body a software
upgrade for the hardware, as well as also
producing a really pleasurable experience. So,
we hope you will try this at home and thank you
for being part of the Regenerate Yourself master
class.

Tania: Cheers.
