Tony's true Story about Sprouts
IT'S COZY AND WARM IN A JAR FOR SPROUTING SEEDS TO GROW QUICKLY. IT'S ALSO COZY AND WARM FOR MOLD AND BAD BACTERIA TO GROW INSIDE ANY SEED OR BEAN THAT IS THERE. AND ONCE INSIDE THAT BEAN ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE. BEWARE OF THE JAR AND MANY OTHER SYSTEMS. IT CAN POISON YOU. I WAS. REPEATED WASHINGS DOES NOT REMOVE IT. IT'S ALREADY EMBEDDED.
------------------------------------------------------
For most of my life I have always told myself, and the public, how good it was to eat GREEN food. That is, ALL edible green food. This is especially so of what the public calls "Sprouts".
The word "sprouts" has been widely misused. 99% of people believe those small 1 inch to 3 inch green stems coming out of the ground are the sprouts. But they are not sprouts. They are the plants. They are full of nutrients that are important to the human body to stay healthy along with ALL the other green plants available from our gardens. But they are still the plant. Which are less valuable than the sprouts.
A TRUE SPROUT is the baby which comes out of the seed the day it is born to life. It has a little white tail attached to it. At that moment of birth, 100% of the “God and Nature" given nutrients are in existence. During the birth cycle afterbirth also comes out with the birth of the baby. Afterbirth is what colors the water surrounding the babies just born. It is very visible if you use the common jar system in which to grow them. And isn't this a very cozy warm place for bad bacteria and mold to begin growing.
At 35 years of age, when I started to read about nutrition in the public libraries in Toronto and Etobicoke, I learned that sprouts should be grown in Jars for simplicity. In fact almost any book you pick up today still states exactly the same thing. And most of the articles were written by scientists and scholars with degrees after their name. However the work to keep those baby sprouts both clean and healthy is more than most people want to endure. Ninety-nine percent of all people will give up using the glass-jar system because it is not convenient. People simply don't have the time or are not that interested in doing the daily chore of washing the baby sprouts to eliminate any contamination from the afterbirth. ( contamination means mold and bad bacteria ) The jar-method simply doesn’t work efficiently. In fact, any system where you put many seeds or beans on top of each other will automatically contaminate each other. And once contamination has taken place it is completely impossible to take it out of the seed.
When I started growing sprouts, I did exactly what those books stated, every day for 3 years and in Jars. I grew them not because I just wanted healthy nutrition but because I HAD TO HAVE THE BEST NUTRITION. During those 3 years I experienced the daily chore of growing sprouts in a jar. It was not easy. And I, like others still think today, thought that I should let them grow 2 to 3 inches high to be of full value. I remember how each day, 3 to 5 times a day, I had to shake the jars back and forth to try to keep them from getting moldy and forming a bad smell. There were times I gave up and wanted to quit. But because of my need for greater nutrition I continued.
I learned a lot during those 3 years. I became ill twice during that time. The second time my doctor recognized salmonella poisoning as a cause. I could not accept this nor could we pinpoint the source of the poisoning. But after telling him about everything I eat, it was suggested by the doctor that I look at the sprout growing that I did as the cause of my problem. That is the main reason why I changed to a more expensive sprout grower which claimed to eliminate 50% of the problem.
It was during those years I also read in a religious book that plants have afterbirth like humans and animals. I learned that afterbirth can contaminate the baby during the birth cycle and care had to be taken that the baby would not be soaked with the afterbirth. It should be kept apart as much as possible. That is not easily done. And that is why I came up with the screen above the water in my system.
After 3 years of using the jar system, I purchased a glass domed unit similar in appearance to the ones I sell today. That was 55 years ago. I paid $50.00 for that unit which by today's dollar value would be approximately $130.00 or more. Most people would never spend that kind of money for a simple sprout grower. But I did. I used that system up until I was 70 yrs of age. During that time of growing and eating sprouts and plants I never got ill with any type of sickness. Generally now I do not even get headaches and colds. Please read my health reports. - http://www.sproutgrowers.com/ At the bottom of the home page. According to that report and a very recent report I have not aged beyond 31 yrs mentally or physically. A copy of that second and third report has been added.
When the baby comes out of the mother seed or bean (the Womb) “God and Nature” gives ALL nutrients to that baby that same day. It's a miracle no one has ever thoroughly explained in any analysis in any book on earth. Then at the same time that birth takes place "Genetics come into place to direct that baby into its adult form. The baby says "I want to look like my mother and father" the same color, the same texture, etc. This is identical in ALL births of any living things on earth. As a result the baby now starts to define which nutrients it should keep and expand on and those that should be discarded as not important in life. That is why different nutrients dominate in different plants. That is why I developed the sprout grower I am promoting.
My passion for what I have created allows me to guarantee the products I sell to the public for life "unconditionally". I want people to get healthy on something I know will make them healthy. Sprouts when born are given ALL the nutrients they will need. ALL means all the enzymes we know of today and all the proteins we know about. And if you walked into a vitamin store and read the names on those some 3000 different manufactured products you would learn that every one of them were derived from a green plant, placed into a pill, bottled or packaged in powder form, and then sold to the public as a cure. The nutrients in those packages have been analyzed by scientists. Your one-month supply is just the beginning of a lifetime of investments that do little for your body.
Generally the public do not want to work hard for their nutrients. A pill is convenient. That is why the Vitamin Stores have proliferated and succeeded in supplying the public with a simple alternative. But it is a very expensive and inadequate one. See how simple it is to grow in ONE DAY . Click on my SproutGrower note here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT-MLe7FRVA
We know that over 4000 enzymes all had their beginning in a green baby. The nuclei are in place. The same values are in place for proteins of which we know of 560 (according to articles I have read on the web). Every one of those 3000 different named vitamins on shelves in stores had to get their beginning in a baby sprout. Yet thousands of different supplements are an expense that most of the public cannot afford.
Some articles in listings on the web - 2017 state that there are up to 20,000 different proteins in a human body. And up to 20,000 different enzymes known . But I could not find the list anywhere.
We know that Mung beans when sprouted are sweet in taste. They are part of the Pea family. MOST but not all people love them the best because of their taste and simplicity to grow. One pound of beans can supply a person with one month of vegetables more healthy than any other vegetables in the world (see study about sprouts at University of Ulster in my LINK section on my website). Most Mung beans now come from China. As this is a main vegetable grown in China they have very strict rules about growing methods. Farmers there are very careful to make sure they are Organically grown. In India they are becoming much more organized now and are starting to implement stronger controls to grow Mung beans Organically.. I have been told that farmers in India are only paid from 1 cent to 5 cents per pound. Imagine 5 cents for one month of green vegetables at your table. Mung Beans are grown in every hot country in the world. Click on the following to see the nutrients in on seed with approx 7000 seeds in a pound. http://www.sproutgrowers.com/...UNGBEAN.htm
I inventory up to two tons of Mung beans at any one time to supply those persons that are now eating sprouts more than any other vegetable. I have never told anyone they should not eat baby plants grown in jars. That is their decision in the way they want to grow and eat them. However I tell everyone the consequences of growing them in a jar or similar methods and to be very careful with the fast growth of salmonella and mold on the sprouts. Most people DO NOT clean them properly when they grow them in jars. Ninety percent of the systems sold in stores produce salmonella. Yet people do not find that out until after they start using those sprouters. Incidentally, in India the most common methods are growing them on a wet towel or on a plate with water. Both these methods cause mold and salmonella growth resulting in sickness. Just think about what happens on a towel. The afterbirth is soaked up by the towel and then is also soaked up by the babies at the same time, causing growth of bad bacteria.
When purchasing Sprouts or small plants in a store you should know what kind of water they used to grow them with. Is it pure and clean ?. Do they change the water during the growth cycle ?
I passionately believe that growing sprouts for health is something that should be taught to children at schools across the world. They can learn about life, nutrition, health, and learn skills of empathy, caring and nurturing along the way. To promote this, I offer every teacher that calls me personally a sprouter for their classroom, for free. Following the method of instruction with each unit, allowing the children to taste the life force in every bean, is an experience I believe will change their lives for the better. My name is Tony Hornick. I offer Tony’s Sprouter to you for your health.
Tutankhamen was an Egyptian pharaoh. Seeds and Beans were found in his tomb.
According to written reports some of the Mung beans sprouted when water was placed on them. It is amazing that mothers after 3300 years laying in a tomb can have babies. God and Nature is surely miraculous. We really have much to learn in life.

My life began in India, then as a child we moved to a little town in England, UK, where I learnt values that are still with me today. That’s where I got the love for sewing, cooking, gardening and I still do it today! My IT career started accidentally (I thought I wanted to be an accountant!). I found myself spending more and more time in the computer laboratory, and yes, that’s where we had to go to access any computing power before personal computers became a household item. My first job working in a software house, a male-dominated industry back then, was a bit scary. I was the first woman in that company’s software department and those early years were my foundation to logic, quality, integrity, teamwork and doing the right thing.
Fast forward a few years, and I arrived in Ontario with a husband and 2 small children. After a few years, I started working in IT again when my youngest started asking too many “why” questions and I enrolled her in Montessori school. I needed help from the experts for this one!!
Now my kids have graduated from different universities, and I get to do the things that I love to do.
My personal development journey is ongoing, being a good parent and role model to be a decent human being are very important to me as well as being a coach and mentor to others.
I volunteered at the food bank for a number of years, and for VON (Victorian Order of Nurses) I used to visit an elderly couple at their home. They thought I was doing them a favour but I was really doing it for me! I missed my grandmother terribly (who had passed away long time ago), so any grandmother was a treasure.
Now my life has taken me down a path to help as many individuals and families from a world that is sometimes unfair.
This has lead me to where I am today.

As an artist who is constantly growing and looking ahead, Songsbury is already creating and shaping the sound of tomorrow with his soulful blend of his diverse musical tastes and experiences. Every performance brings audiences on a journey that is unlike any other; connecting on a level that is beyond mere entertainment.
To fully understand the artist, all one needs to do is experience the art. Everything you want to know is sung out in every lyric and played out in every melody. Reading a biography will only scratch the surface of who Songsbury is, and as all biographies are, they are simply a snapshot of an earlier time. They do not determine what is to come. That being said, please accept the invitation Songsbury has put forth:
“Leave my history in the past where it belongs, and instead, be a part of my future.”
Songsbury is a deeply caring soul who regularly gives back. Some of his regular volunteer work include: leading the church choir, providing musical services at masses and funerals; playing music in senior homes across the GTA to provide healing and joy to the elderly; visiting the elderly and helping them with various tasks (eating, mobility, laundry, etc.); and he is also a youth group leader.
In addition to above, he has provided his talent and time to perform at multiple charity concerts benefiting causes such as: Free Them, Earthquake in Nepal, Sick Kinds Hospital, and multiple cancer fundraisers.
Songsbury’s latest charity work is to perform at the Toronto Women’s Expo’s 10th Anniversary Charity Gala, benefiting Million Dollar Smiles, a non for profit organization supporting families with terminally ill or special needs children. Mat has displayed unparalleled work ethics, full integrity and the highest degree of professionalism during the entire preparation phase. He made all parties and co-entertainers feel comfortable, welcome, and at the same time, we all had tremendous fun and joy working with him. He has a great sense of humour and respect for others’ ideas, at the same time, his tremendous experience and knowledge in the entertainment industry and his humanity truly made a difference in making this Gala a huge success.
Million Dollar Smiles has chosen Songsbury’s song ‘Smile’ as their official branding and marketing song to bring awareness of their philanthropic work of supporting families with terminally ill and special needs children.
Songsbury is not only an immensely talented musician, singer-songwriter and producer, but he truly connects with everyone involved at a much deeper level ever experienced by anyone else before. As a result, his audience is raving about him.
Songsbury is available for bookings both as an artist and as a music producer. He will elevate your event’s entertainment, so that you and your guests can be touched by the exceptional care and professionalism that is his second nature, and that special experience that you and your guests will talk about for years to come.

Hi, My name is Sara Dimerman, also known as HelpMeSara. I’m likely one of the only psychologists you’ll meet that has an undergraduate degree in Radio and Television. However, soon after graduating from Ryerson, I began my journey towards obtaining a Masters level degree in Assessment and Counselling from the University of Toronto.
For more than thirty years I have been counselling individual adults, teens, parents, couples and families out of my office in York Region, Ontario. In addition to seeing clients in person, I also offer telecounselling – on the phone or online. I’m registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and also a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. So, my fee is covered by extended health insurance, if you have.
Over the years I have helped clients through:
periods of depression. anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder
workplace, school and home life stressors
complex family and sibling relationships
difficult dynamics as a couple, including issues around intimacy, sexual relationships and infidelity
separation and divorce
parenting children, teens and adults
low self esteem and confidence concerns
career changes, retirement and other life transitions
If you have no extended health coverage, are experiencing complex social and medical health issues and live in Northern or Western York Region, you may be able to access mental health and other services at no charge. The Vaughan Community Health Centre has created PACT (People Accessing Care Teams) to make this possible.Your family physician or nurse practitioner would need to make the referral. I am proud to be working with VCHC by offering psychological services through PACT to patients in need – in office, over the telephone and online.
Please contact their office at 905-303-8490 or visit their website vaughanchc.com for more information.
Aside from my counselling practise, I am fortunately able to blend my interest in people and psychology with my passion for media and writing.
I frequently appear on radio and television and am quoted in magazines and newspapers as a parenting and relationship expert. I am also the host of the Help Me Sara show, heard Monday afternoons at 3pm EST on Sauga960am News Talk Radio. On this show, other mental health care experts and I discuss topics that are relevant and relatable.
I write books related to issues that are often raised by my clients. My first of five books was published in 2008 and my most recent, in 2019. More information about these books and how to find them can be found on my home page.
I look forward to helping you.
