Hi Christine,
Now I'm at the Bear Brew Cafe in downtown Milwaukee. You can see it at bearbrew.com. I am on the computer that you see in the background.
My sister has been hyper all of her life. She is also a clean fanatic. My other sister has the messiest house in the US. The third sister is an average of the two.
I was looking for a business in Austin when I ran into Dr. Hirsch, who was selling his Chemical business. I never bought the business, but ended up working with him for years anyway. One of the things that we worked on was the freezing of tissue, with the ultimate goal of freezing organs for transplant. That has not been successfully done, to my knowledge, but I believe is possible.
I was succesfull in freezing brine shrimp to -20 for a few days and once had one swimming for about 2 minutes before he expired. That meant that it had many thousands of cells functioning. To my knowledge, that was the best ever done. I had very old crude equipment to work with, and had modified it to freeze specimens while under pressures up to 35,000 PSI. It was difficult to get an accurate pressure reading, and I could only guess at the internal temperature.
It may be difficult to find dl-Methionine. I used to buy them in a bottle of 1000, but the manufacturer stopped making that size. I don't know why it is so hard to find, as it is the second most used chemical in the body. It is only an amino acid, like the Lysine that you had in your corn chowder a while ago, so there is nothing to fear from using it. Sometimes it will agravate yeast infections, because it is a food for those buggers too, but in that case just back off.
The importance of folic acid in the diet has been recently "dicovered", and is being widely talked about. My PHD friend told me about it's importance 10 years before the medical community. He also believes the US fast food diet is defficient in Methionine.
Do you steam those vegetables? They taste so much better, and retain more nutritional value as a bonus.
