Questions on Books
1.
Q: What are the books about?
A: The story began in 1994 on the bank of the River Ob amidst the endless expanses of the Siberian taiga. The well-known Siberian entrepreneur Vladimir Megre met with two elderly gentlemen who told him about the amazing properties of the Siberian cedar (also known in the West as the Siberian pine ). At first he didn't pay much attention to what they told him, but as he continued to reflect on it, Vladimir began to discover, in the historical and scientific literature he examined, more and more evidence supporting their words. Finally he decided to organize an expedition with a fleet of river steamers. The expedition was ostensibly for commercial purposes, but in actual fact his overriding motivation was to find the elders again and learn more about the secrets of the cedar.
The books set forth — in very clear language — profound ideas about the education of children and the importance of communicating with living Nature — ideas ranging from nutrition and health to spirituality and sexual relations. With their practical wisdom on matters of everyday life, the books have become the basis for a number of sociological studies and scholarly papers.
2. Q: Are the events described real or fiction?
A: "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" is a real life story that is happening to real people. Started in 1994 the story continues to this day, and looks like it is only a beginning. Vladimir Megre is continuing to write the books of the "Ringing Cedars of Russia" series.
3. Q: How many books are published?
A: Currently, six books are published in English. In original language - Russian - there are eight books, and book eight has 2 parts. Currently Vladimir Megre is working on Book 8 Part 3.

6.
Q: Which book shall I start with?
A: We advise to read the series in sequence. Although all of these books would be great as standalone titles, each new release is a continuation of a story described.
7.
Q: When will the next book be available for purchase?

The oil from pine nuts is being extracted for a long time in the Ural Mountains and Siberia. Our ancestors ate cedar nut oil and used it for medical purposes since the ancient times. In XIX century cedar nut oil could be bought on any Siberian market. It has been home-made with the use of only the simplest machinery. It has a soft taste, gold-and-amber color, and a wonderful smell of nuts.
Pine nut oil eliminates a chronic weakness syndrome, increases overall strength of an organism, physical and brain activities. Pine nut oil has virtually no medical contra-indications. It has been proved by modern scientists that cedar nut oil elements and vitamins are in the best balance for human digestion. Pine nut oil taken regularly may improve your energy level. Any vegetative oil can be substituted by cedar nut oil, but nothing can fully substitute cedar nut oil. It can also be used as a facial night cream for returning a natural beauty of the skin.
1. Q: Recommendations on the use of Pine Oil?
The primary use of Pine Nut Oil is internal. It is recommended to consume it once or twice per day depending if one is trying to fix a specific problem. For normal use, one table spoon per day in the morning before breakfast will be sufficient to increase your daily energy, give some strength to the body and help keep a person be more focused and clearheaded throughout the day. For a more specific use a table spoon twice per day is recommended. It is not recommended to take oil before bedtime for people who experience trouble falling asleep since the oil does give extra energy to the body.
It can also be used for cosmetic purposes. It can be used as a cream to help rejuvenate skin and keep it younger, as well as adding oil to the hair to raise it's vitality.
Oil is often used to help relieve headaches by rubbing it on the forehead and temples, relieve pain on bruises and open wounds, help accelerate healing processes. It also acts as a strong disinfectant.

2. Q: How do I store pine nut oil (cedar nut oil)? How long does it last before it goes rancid?
A: Store your pine nut oil in a refrigerator. Two most important factors to prevent it from going rancid are: 1) store it at a low temperature and 2) keep it away from light. If refrigerated, our pine nut oil has a safe shelf life of 12 months, but - given the exceptional purity of "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" pine nut oil - it may stay fresh even longer.
3. Q: How is your pine nut oil bearing "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand different from other pine nut oils sold at some gourmet food web-sites?
A: There are several major distinctions. 1) The cedar nut oil bearing "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand comes exclusively from wild-harvested Siberian cedar nuts (Siberian pine nuts) - the most nutritious and medicinally valuable pine nuts in the world. In comparison, other pine nut oils are usually pressed from the Italian pignolia pine nuts, which are not nearly as potent and are often harvested from trees growing in plantations. 2) Our pine nut oil is extra virgin (100% cold pressed from freshly shelled raw pine nuts), whereas most pine nut oils on the market are either not cold pressed or even pressed from roasted (!) pine nuts, which significantly decreases the oil value. 3) Finally, "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" pine nut oil is the only pine nut oil available on the market anywhere in the world pressed with wooden presses in accordance with traditional techniques described in Vladimir Megre's life-changing book "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" (available from our on-line Store). In contrast, all other pine nut oils are pressed using steel presses, which immediately degrades them (contact with steel oxidizes some of the pine nut oil's most important ingredients such as vitamins, and is known to remove the 'life force' from the oil).
4. Q: Any other special instructions?
A: Aside from keeping oil in a refrigerated dark place, no metal should touch the oil as it starts degrading really quickly. It is recommended that wooden spoons should be used in consumption of the oil, plastic or glass spoons would be fine as well.

SHELLED SIBERIAN PINE NUTS
(also known as SIBERIAN CEDAR NUTS)
Huge plantations of cedar trees grow in the Siberian taiga, said to be the ecologically purest area of the world. The virgin forest of the taiga has never been treated with any chemicals or artificial fertilization, nor abused by agricultural machines. Pine nuts (the seeds of the cedar tree) take two years to mature, during which time the tree accumulates a huge volume of positive cosmic energy. Crops of nuts are harvested manually by people lovingly devoted to this task, working in a pleasant environment without undue haste to create unique products full of positive energy for you.
1. Q: What are 'cedar nuts'? I did not think cedar trees produced any nuts at all.
A: The tree bearing the nuts sold at www.pinenutoil.org is called Siberian cedar (or also Siberian pine, Pinus sibirica). It is different from the trees which are called 'cedars' in the U.S. (or, for that matter, from the cedars of Lebanon). Because in Siberia Pinus sibirica tree is only called Siberian cedar (and elsewhere it is often called Siberian pine or Siberian stone pine) - we use the terms 'pine nuts' and 'cedar nuts' interchangeably. We also call our pine nuts 'Siberian pine nuts' to distinguish them from other varieties of pine nuts (e.g., Korean or 'Chinese' pine nuts, American pinyon pine nuts, Italian pignolia, etc.).
2. Q: How do I store pine nuts? How long do they keep?
A: Store your pine nuts in a refrigerator. They keep for 6 months from the date they were shelled and vacuum packaged. You can also freeze them to prolong their shelf life indefinitely.
3. Q: Can I freeze pine nuts to prolong their shelf life?
A: Yes you can. Their moisture content is relatively low, so freezing does not degrade the texture, taste or nutritional and medicinal values of the nuts. In fact, this is a quite natural way to preserve pine nut freshness - during harsh Siberian winters pine nuts do freeze. Frozen pine nuts keep well indefinitely long.
4. Q: Should I roast pine nuts before eating?
A: You could roast Siberian pine nuts (on a pan or in an oven at 325 degrees F), but they are best enjoyed raw - this is how they preserve the most of their nutritional and medicinal values. If you previously tasted raw pine nuts and did not like them raw, chances are that you tried the American pinyon pine nuts (this is a different variety of pine nuts which does become tastier if roasted). Our pine nuts are sold ready to eat. However, they can definitely be roasted, or even roasted and salted to your taste.
5. Q: Are your pine nuts (cedar nuts) the same as the 'Chinese pine nuts' sold in health food and grocery stores?
A: NO. There is a huge difference. First comes freshness. The 'Chinese pine nuts' sold in grocery stores are never really fresh: they spend weeks traveling by railroad in China (in questionable sanitary conditions), then at least two months crossing the Pacific on a ship, and months more in the U.S. before they get onto grocery store shelves. In transit, they are not refrigerated for extended periods of time, which brings quality down and necessitates treatment with chemicals to keep the nuts from going rancid. In comparison, our pine nuts bearing "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand are quickly processed, chemicals-free, and shipped directly from Siberia by air to North America, and are refrigerated in clean, sanitary conditions. Second comes fairness and concern for Nature and human rights. The 'Chinese pine nuts' or the ones sold in grocery stores are for the most part pine nuts harvested in Russia, then smuggled through the Russian-Chinese border, processed in China using slave and child labor and then shipped to the U.S. (90% of pine nuts imported into this country come this way). In contrast, our pine nuts are fair trade: harvested in Siberia by local communities, purchased through small-scale local buyers, locally processed and shipped directly from Siberia to North America by air. Finally, the 'Chinese pine nuts' are usually a blend of Siberian pine nuts and Korean pine nuts, the latter being of lower nutritional and medicinal value. In contrast, our pine nuts are 100% pure Siberian pine nuts (from Siberian cedar trees, Pinus sibirica).

UNSHELLED SIBERIAN PINE NUTS
(also known as UNSHELLED SIBERIAN CEDAR NUTS)
Huge plantations of pine trees grow in the Siberian taiga, said to be the ecologically purest area of the world. The virgin forest of the taiga has never been treated with any chemicals or artificial fertilization, nor abused by agricultural machines.

Crops of nuts are harvested manually by people lovingly devoted to this task, working in a pleasant environment without undue haste to create unique products full of positive energy for you.

A: Pendants vary in size and shape. Mostly they are round with a diameter of 1.5 - 2 in. Of course, like everything in nature, no two pendants are the same.

The seeds of cedar tree are pine nuts. It takes 26 month for a cone to grow and produce the nuts. May and June is a very important period for cedar. Extremely cold and wet, just as hot and dry weather, during that time will decrease the number of grown nuts.
How do I plant a Siberian Pine Tree?
- Un shell the cone.
- Put the seeds (pine nuts) into water of room temperature for 2-3 days. If any seeds remain on the surface of the water level throw them out (usually they are either empty or bad for planting).
- Mix the seeds with scalded sand in a ratio of 1 part seeds to 3 part sand.
- Place the seeds in cold storage by putting the substance with seeds in an environment of 0 degree temperature (lower part of the refrigerator) for a period of no less then four months. Access to air during the storage period is essential.
- Insert the seeds (with a coned end downwards) to a depth of 3-6 cm into a prepared soil (Lightly drained loamy soil, light mix of clay. Avoid sand and heavily fertilized soils).
- Development of sprouts should be visible in 15-20 days.

Medical qualities of cedar are known to traditional medicine since ancient times. They are now confirmed by modern scientific medicine, and supported by Christian and Vedic literature. Virtually everything in a cedar tree – from its needles to bark morsels – possesses medical power. During the past centuries the traditional medicine was the only choice for people, but today many of us use it consciously, refusing to be treated by chemicals and artificial substances. Natural substances that are part of the tree structure help human organism to regain its health and functional balance. They have certain effect on the live cells and tissues, at the same time balancing the processes within the whole human organism as well as within each cell.
