Why Wild

Algae (of which AFA is an edible species) can be found growing in almost every environment on the planet, whether it be tree bark, rocks, soil, or the sunlit surface of bodies of fresh or salt water.

As David and Annie Jubb write in their “LifeFood Recipe Book”:

“LifeFoods have self-protective qualities bestowed through minerals that fortify and protect plants from being overcome by the forces of nature. Those very same quantities that fortify the burdock plant [or, in this case, AFA - ed.] to be able to grow anywhere under most any condition, are the very same properties that allow you and I to fortify ourselves when eating it raw. LifeFood / wild foods possess minerals and beneficial electric charges beyond any standard vegetable grown in a garden.”

The phrase 'wild-crafted' describes the retrieving or harvesting of plants in their natural surroundings as opposed to 'domesticating' and farming them in a controlled environment.

Upper Klamath lake, where E3Live is harvested, possesses every natural element necessary to create a unique, edible and incredibly beneficial species of cyanophyta (freshwater plant). These factors include:
• An astonishingly high mineral concentration due to a massive volcanic eruption that occurred in the vicinity over 7,000 years ago, covering the area with millions of tons of mineral ash
• Seventeen streams and rivers deposit into the 140 square mile lake an annual average of 50,000 tons of the mineral-rich silt from the surrounding 4000 square mile volcanic basin
• The area averages 300 days a year of sunny conditions
• The lake itself is shallow (close to 3 metres deep), with concentrations of crystal formations in the lake bed

Wild plants use minerals (in conjunction with other components derived from sunlight, oxygen and water) to protect themselves against the natural forces that surround them. The energetic elements that allow AFA cyanophyta (E3Live) to flourish in a wilderness environment are the same properties (and nourishing effects) which are passed on to those who consume the food in it's original state.
