Gojo's DIY 'CEDHF': (Cold Enzymatically Digested Hydrolyzed Fish) Weigh out equal amounts (1:1) of bycatch or edible whole fish to distilled water. Either dice and mince the fish or put it through a food processor, or a strong blender like a vita-mixer. You need to throughly process the fish into small pieces. Preheat an oven to 122 degrees F (50 degrees C) Lay the fish onto a baking tray, and try not to layer the fish if you can help it. Place the tray into the oven and bake the fish for 0.5-2 minutes, depending upon the quantity and size of fish chunks.[4][5] * It is possible to use a microwave instead of the oven, I can provide info if there is interest. * Heating inactivates the endogenous enzymes (and microbes) which are on and in the fish. I want to control what enzymes and microbes are present. * This step could be skipped and the 'endogenous enzyme activity [of the fish] alone'[6] can digest most of the fish. But I don't want unknown enzymes and microbes in the finished hydrolyzed fish so that's why I heat it. Cover the fish and let it cool. Then and add the fish, along with the distilled water into a strong blender like a vita-mixer and liquefy (5-10 minutes). Adjust the resulting 'fluid' to a ph of 5 using phosphoric acid (aka 'ph down'[7]) * Because I am using a cold enzyme digestion process the ph needs to be low to prevent the gurry from putrefying[2]. * From what I've been able to glean a ph of 4.5 is optimal to prevent putrefaction of gurry. But, a ph of 5 is optimal for papain enzyme action[8][9]. So, I chose a ph of 5 as this will speed the papain's digestion of the fish which will of course shorten the digestion time and reduce the chance (time wise) of the gurry putrefying. * Use of phosphoric acid is suggested when horticulture is the intended target and phosphoric acid acts as a stabilizer for the gurry[2]. * Use the blender to fully mix the phosphoric acid when testing the ph. Add papain to gurry with an enzyme to fish (not gurry) ratio of 700-1,000 U to a gram of fish[5] * 'Papain'[10] and 'Alcalase'[11] are the two best known enzymes for digesting fish[5][6] and Alcalase will digest up to 95% of the fish[6]. But, Alcalase prefers a ph of 7-9[11] and it is expensive and hard to find. However, Papain also digests a large quantity of fish[6], but it's ideal ph is 5 and it is inexpensive and easy to find[12]. * So, you will want to add about 1,000 U of papain per gram of fish product (not gurry). Each pill of 'Natural Brand™ Papaya Enzyme'[12] conatins 60,000 U of papain. I'll leave the math up the person making hydrolyzed fish following my directions... * Buy a pill splitter[13] (about $5.00) and you can split the papain pill into 4 or 6 pieces for greater accuracy. Though, it's better have too much enzyme than not enough. * Grind the papain pill/s into a fine powder, this will help disperse the papain throughout the fluid. I use a mortar and pestle[14] to pulverize my pills, you can get these at a pharmacy for around $10.00. * Use the blender to fully mix the papain with the fish liquid. * A 'U' is a 'USP unit'[15], which is also synonymous with 'IU' (international unit) [16]. Place the gurry in cool location (ala refrigerator) between 35 and 38 degrees F (1.7 to 3.3 degrees C) for 4-6 weeks. Filter finished gurry through 100-400 micron screen. The Kis compost tea bag[17] is 400 micron and may work very well, and it's only $10.00. Use the 'CEDHF' lol * Check the ph, I bet it will be around 5-6, lower is better I would assume but I have no data on that...I'm still just feeling my way around...

I have heard and read from a guy that beat cancer without chemo and radiation that the stuff is soooo processed it causes inflammation!! The only type he recommends is by biotics research. I buy my vit d3 drops from them. seems good. better to go with CLEAN plant omega 3 and make sure your ratios are close to what they should be. Remove all processed foods with a HIGH omega 6 level because of synthetic ingredients/vitamins. For, they are SYNTHETIC and cause the body/cells HARM and DAMAGE. He says "Only flax, chia, sacha inchi, and seafood have more Omega-3 fats than Omega-6." *Otto Warburg info. Warburgs "The Metabolism of Carcinoma Cells" from The Journal of Cancer Research, 1925. "Commercially raised beef and chicken can have a ratio of as much as 15:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 because the animals are fed grain based diets specifically designed to fatten them up." "The best building blocks of cells are unadulterated Parent Essential Fatty Acids Omega-6 and Omega-3 from organic sustainable sources. The rest of my fat intake comes from foods I consume in various amounts weekly: raw milk, raw cheese, raw pasture-raised eggs, olive oil, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, clean meats (organic grass-fed beef and lamb, organic free-range chicken, wild-caught alaskan salmon). I also take Parent EFA supplements daily. Udos Choice 3-6-9 Blend YES Ultimate EFAs" This is good information. Considering alot of fish are over processed and just full of harmful toxins. Why chance it, if you don't have to? Good luck and good health to you all. :)

Oh, all is forgiven, flyleft. I was joshing anyway, although I'd gladly forgo that particular event if not having kids meant I could - not my idea of entertainment! *chuckle* The joys of fibrobrain and pain meds and too little sleep... I just glanced back at the bit above where I said I wished the mammo tech had just taken the relevant parts off to do their thing with them and the King Missile song "Detachable P&n!s" popped into my head, although it was playing in my head as "Detachable B**bies". (Had to look that up, for some reason I thought it was Primus. Not quite my taste in music but I used to work with some chefs who played really weird stuff in the kitchen during prep time. They introduced me to They Might Be Giants - we always played "Minimum Wage" from the "Flood" album just before we opened for the day, synching turning the door key to the whipcrack - so I forgave them a lot.)

SHRTY: I think you're right. Atspace is blocking me, wanting me to buy/use their photo storage. I ran Spybot, and AVG runs daily, so I don't know what else to do. CALAM: I haven't had time to look at your gardening photos you sent via email yesterday, but from what you describe, you're a team of one - GEESH - wish I had your strength. Yeah, you left NOTHING in your wake on Bucerias beach. Just finished mowing/edging/blowing, and getting ready to bring the birdbath bowl inside to begin. Think I'm going outside the box, and just mosaic in white shards. Don't wanna make a green leaf.
