Mmm green water.

[wesleysgirl]

A couple of years ago I bought this powdered green stuff that you mix with water and drink. It's supposed to be really good for you and a few people swore it would cure my fatigue and other mystery symptoms. Of course, one of those people was the one who sold me the green powder ($100 for the little jar, eek!) Anyway, it didn't make me feel anything different but an increased need to pee -- you were meant to drink something insane like 4 quarts a day or something -- so I quit drinking it after a few weeks. I recently found it in the cupboard and decided I paid enough for it that I ought to use it up, so I've been drinking one sports-bottle worth each day. It's a little gross.

I'm re-watching the US Queer as Folk. I only have the first three seasons, so once I get to the end of S3 I either have to get 4 and 5 from Netflix again or call it quits there. Hrm.

what's in the green stuff? i'm just curious, because it's GREEN. o.O

i have s5 of qaf on disk, if you want to borrow it when you get to that point. it's avi's, tho - someone burned it to disk for me. altho netflix might actually be easier.... but i offer it anyway. :>

It's all kinds of powdered stuff -- greeen Kamut grass, barley grass, lemon grass, shave grass, wheat grass, bilberry leaf, alfalfa leaf, dandelion leaf, black walnut leaf, etc etc. That sort of thing.

Thanks for the offer re: QaF 5 -- I'll probably just get it from Netflix unless I feel like braving the scariness of eBay, LOL! *Hugs you*

you're drinking the lawn! EW.

apparently s5 was the weakest season, so i'd say get it from netflix before you decide to buy. i haven't actually seen it yet.

I did see S4 and S5 from Netflix a while back, and I actually thought S5 was better, in some ways, than S3 and S4.

I love QAF, I rented it through Netflix. Netlfix is so awesome for catching up on shows you miss. *icon love*

I love Netflix! I've seen so many things I otherwise wouldn't have been able to. :-)

Is it Green Vibrance? My dad has been drinking GV in hopes of helping with his cancer. He says he mixes it with cranberry juice to mask the flavor.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

It's called InnerLight SuperGreens -- but I'm sure they're very similar. The cranberry juice is a good idea, I wouldn't have thought of that!

Cranberry juice has such a strong taste that it can overpower almost anything. I had to take a terrible, strong echinacea liquid for a while, and I always mixed it with cranberry juice. It didn't get rid of the taste entirely, but it helped.

And also, unlike other people responding to this entry, I liked QAF seasons 4 and 5. They weren't as good as the first couple seasons, but I thought they were still enjoyable tv.

I really enjoyed QaF for the first 3 seasons for what it was. But I barely made it through S4 and couldn't stomach more than a few episodes of S5 before I stopped watching.

I thought there were a lot of themes in S4 and 5 that had already been explored and over-explored in the earlier seasons, but I still liked 4 and 5 anyway. I'm easy. :-)
