Platycerium Bifurcatum 

The most widely cultivated member of a genus that is itself unlike almost anything else in the fern world — Platycerium bifurcatum, the Common Staghorn Fern, is an epiphytic fern native to coastal and subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia, New Guinea, and Java, where it grows anchored to tree trunks and branches in a way that makes its relationship with conventional potting culture immediately and fundamentally incompatible. The plant produces two entirely distinct and morphologically different frond types that serve completely different functions: the shield or nest fronds, which are sterile, rounded, flat, overlapping fronds that press tightly against the mounting surface, anchoring the plant, protecting the root mass, and accumulating the falling leaf litter and organic debris that the plant depends on for nutrition in its treeside habitat; and the fertile or antler fronds, which are the dramatic, arching, deeply bifurcating fronds that give the species both its common and scientific names, growing outward from the shield fronds in silvery-green, strap-like blades that fork repeatedly in a branching, deer-antler silhouette — the undersides of mature fertile fronds covered in the brown, felt-like spore patches called sporangia that distinguish mature, healthy specimens. The silvery-grey surface quality of the fronds comes from a dense covering of star-shaped trichomes that are both functional — reducing water loss and reflecting harsh light — and extremely beautiful in the way they catch and diffuse light across the frond surface. Of all the staghorns, bifurcatum is by far the most tolerant of varied conditions, making it the ideal entry point into a genuinely addictive genus of collector ferns.

Platycerium bifurcatum is best grown mounted on a board, cork slab, or tree fern fiber panel rather than potted — the mounting surface should have a bed of sphagnum moss behind the root mass, and the plant attached with fishing line or twine until the shield fronds anchor it naturally. Provide bright indirect light to filtered direct sun; it is the most sun-tolerant staghorn in the genus and handles more light than most. Water by soaking the mount thoroughly — submerging the entire mount in water for 15-20 minutes — then allowing it to dry almost completely before the next watering; never mist the fronds regularly as this encourages rot. Never remove the brown shield fronds, which are a normal and essential part of the plant's structure. Humidity of 50-70% suits it well, and it tolerates lower humidity than most other Platycerium species. Feed by tucking banana peels, compost, or slow-release fertilizer behind the shield fronds, or by adding diluted liquid fertilizer to the soaking water monthly. Non-toxic to humans and pets.

Multiple ferns per 8" basket, frond length will vary between plants and not all plants will be the same size. Fronds average 6-12".

Really enjoyed this book and found it helpful
Format: Kindle
The first night after starting this diet I found myself eating a juicy half pound hamburger without the bread, a sweet potato with butter, a small salad with fresh lemons squeezed on top and some sparkling water. Life could be a lot worse!!!! This book was written by 2 Harvard educated scientists. It is thoroughly researched and made a ton of sense to me. I've dieted a lot in my life. I always lost weight and always gained it back. That's a pretty frustrating way to live. The weight gain and loss roller coaster is awful. Over the last 20 years I've tried Atkins, Paleo Diet, Zone Diet, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, South Beach Diet, Mediterranean Diet, Blood type Diet etc etc etc....They all work and they all have flaws which ultimately caused me to stray from them for one reason or another. As an example Nutrisystem is convenient but I don't want to eat that food forever. Atkins and Paleo cut out major food groups PERMANENTLY! They are way too extreme for me. Zone Diet was too much work. Weight watchers with the points was too time consuming. South Beach Diet was a nice fad but I got tired of that also. Anyway, without dragging on too much longer I want to say that the best part of the Perfect Health Diet is its SIMPLICITY! This way of eating doesn't require much thought, planning, or effort. The authors give you a list of foods to eat without asking you to eliminate carbs, fatty foods, meat or dairy. I was taught what carbs to eat and avoid and in what portions. I learned what fatty foods to eat and how often to eat them. I learned about about protein and was taught the right amounts of protein to eat. Most importantly i never feel hungry on the Perfect Health Diet! This diet WILL reduce your food cravings. You are fed well. You eat a lot of fatty foods and still lose weight. You can have dairy in the form of yogurt. You can have starches. You eat fruits and veggies along with lots of eggs, meat, and some fish. Basically you feel healthy because your body gets everything it NEEDS to make you feel GOOD! This diet is the only one I've tried that eliminates food cravings and hunger. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could

The Best, Readable Single-Source Book On Diet and Health
Format: Hardcover
As other reviewers have said, this is really the best "Paleo 2.0 book" available. For those who haven't yet jumped on the bandwagon, eating like our ancient Paleolithic (and Mesolithic) ancestors will help us avoid many of our chronic diseases and feel good doing it! And yet, the Jaminets also take the approach that a straight meat and veggies diet is simply too low in carbs for a properly functioning immune system and proper thyroid level (carbs are required for basic immune functions like phagocytic attack and mucus secretion, as well as neurological and immune energy which feeds back to thyroid output). They like carb sources found in the paleolithic and mesolithic cultures such as tubers, fruit, dairy (for some) and low-in-antinutrient white rice. Now, to the practical: on this diet my family and I have seen an increased level of energy and overall spunk (skin shine, sleep quality, etc.) compared to when we were on, in sequence, a paleo Zone type of diet (Barry Sears' Zone diet using paleo foodstuffs), and a lower carb Mark Sisson-style primal diet. Basically, this has more saturated fat than the former and more carbs than the latter. We are as lean as we were, but feeling better and without any problems, whatsoever. For those who have chronic infections (read: "lingering health issues"), this book also explains how you can fine-tune your diet and supplementation to fight these infections, whether they are viral, fungal, or bacterial (a different approach for each). The same for athletes. My only criticism is that they only give 1 sentence to the classes of diseases which fare better avoiding starch and, instead, getting their carbs from fruit and honey (such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Spondylitis, and other within the class; as well as some other diseases). While this diet/lifestyle is very easy to combine with a GAPS approach, with carbs from simply sugars and not starch, this goes unsaid and the authors tend to prefer starches for most. In short, this is the best book out there for a well-researched, unbiased view on diet and how it impacts our lives and health. I actually recommend for those who really care to read their blog, and then go buy the book for the relatives who probably won't read the blog on their own.

One of the better food, diet, and health books available, but with significant drawbacks
Format: Kindle
Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet present the most cogent argument in favor of ancestral-style eating that I have ever read. In fact, I never really understood the logic behind Paleo until I read Perfect Health Diet. I applaud their scientific rigor and willingness to challenge dietary dogma, Paleo or otherwise. There is no question that removing all grains and legumes from one's diet is incredibly effective for people with autoimmune diseases and some other chronic, intractable health conditions. But when taking the evolutionary perspective on human diets it's also important to recognize that many cultures have thrived on grains and legumes for millennia, and humans have evolved some clever ways to extract nutrients from foods that would otherwise be toxic through the use of prolonged soaking, sprouting, and fermentation, all techniques that are very effective at reducing seed toxicity. I think that properly prepared grains and legumes can be a nutritious part of our diets, at least for those of us who do not suffer from autoimmunity. Stephen Guyenet has written excellent posts on legumes (wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2013/11/beans-lentils-and-paleo-diet.html) and grains (wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/search/label/lectins). I also wish that the Jaminets had delved a little bit deeper into the subject of fatty fish from a sustainability standpoint. They recommend that we eat fatty fish, but make no mention of seafood sustainability and the importance of avoiding farmed fish, especially farmed (aka "Atlantic") salmon. Farmed fish are fed soy, corn, and pellets made of smaller fatty fish like anchovies and sardines. Entire small fish fisheries off the coast of Western South America are being destroyed in order to feed our hunger for farmed salmon, while we have plenty of small fatty fish we can eat (but choose not to) here on the west coast of North America (herring, sardines, anchovies, etc.). I bet that the fat profile (3:6 ratio) of farmed salmon is not nearly as good as that of wild salmon and smaller cold water fish. That said, I highly respect and follow their writing and will continue to look forward to their excellent work.

Understanding and Making the Best of Our Emotions
I am honored to write a review on this book, as I am heartfully thankful for how my mind was opened to a better consciousness of emotions. It was amazing to realize that our emotions are not an innate part of us, but have been established from interactions with others, especially early in our life by learning from our parents and siblings. Learning emotions is a part of our thinking process. With this knowledge, my approach to emotions has fundamentally changed. Emotions are how we react and how we perceive truth. Emotions become a part of who we are and how others perceive us. The book enlightened my perception and gave me a whole new way of viewing myself and how my emotions may not have matured. With this understanding, the book gives us advice on how to learn to improve (mature) our emotions. First by knowing and followed by determination to learn. The presentation of methods to make improvements with planning and accountability to oneself gives hope and is reassuring. We can learn to mature our emotions. When we have achieved our goals of self-emotional maturity, the book further has methods to share with others (especially family) to bring us together in a positive open way. This book has been a real eye-opening to me. I recommend the reading of this book to spread this awareness. A positive way forward with means to achieve a better life. The book is very thorough and provides documented ways to do the planning and accountability to accomplish goals. Always thinking positively. My thanks to the Author.

Parenting is not easy, but this book certainly helps to do it right!
I am glad I read ths book. Parenting is not easy. There is no cookbook for parenting. Each child is unique. What I enjoyed about the book is that it is very practical. It describes real scenarios about child paret interactions and lays out the problems and solutions to address them. There seems to be a fair amount of incorporation of approaches used in twelve step programs which stress taking personal inventory and analyzing my role in each situation. Seeking help from different sources is key, therapists, literature. I wish this book had come out earlier. I am definitely going to use the steps suggested in the book.
