There are also other things in the beans that will cause one to have arthritis-like pains (natural insecticide and pesticides, not man-made) so the soaking is preferable. This is one of the reasons why the women in Mexico are in the top 3 (along with Egypt) of being overweight. They have forgotten what their grandmothers taught, and are now using wheat tortillas instead of the corn with lime tortillas, which are far superior. 1 - we drain the cooking water off (but the beans are still damp so that collects a little once they sit - that's what I meant by mostly 2 - I think (just my opinion) that the exporting of the SAD is one of the bigger reasons for many countries to have jumped into an unhealthy status, while those in the same countries who are still eating in a traditional manner are not. How they are cooking beans is less of an issue than whether "They want fries with that". KWIM? --Deb |

I've been taking a probiotic and eating yogurt. It is helping. Is there something else that would do better than yogurt? I tried a Silk Soy Yogurt for the 2nd time (first time I didn't care for soy yogurt) and liked it very much. The other day I tried a Soy Delicious coconut "yogurt" ... it was a bit pricey but and was IN HEAVEN. Both have vegan probiotics. "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis.

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 10:48 AM Coconut water will help. Just pop a coconut open and drink the liquid. It has lots of various ifidus' factors in it. Also, any fermented food like home-made sauerkraut (3 heads of cabbage, juiced - mix the juice with the pulp and top with one layer of cabbage leaves, and let ferment for 3 days in a room temperature quiet place like on top of your water heater, scoop off the foam, put in glass jars with a little piece of leaf on top to keep out bacteria and refrigerate. Do not put a spoon that has been in your mouth into the kraut because the saliva will spoil the helpful bacteria), fermented nut or seed cheeses (sesame-sunflower cheese, pine nut frosting, and almond cream are my favorites), and fermented liquids like rejuvelac, i.e. made with spring white pastry wheat berries or cabbage. These provide what you need to reestablish your intestinal flora naturally. For free directions, drflora3rd@netzero.net or www.rawdoctors.com. |

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 11:47 AM re: the home-made sauerkraut ... I've got one head of green cabbage (curious, red will work too) in my refrigerator that I was going to make a juicer cocktail with, but you've got me intrigued. Will one head do? How does it taste?

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 11:55 AM It tastes like comfort food! When cabbage is eaten raw, because it is so gas producing, one gets bloated and can feel heartburn and indigestion or even experience acid reflux. When cabbage and other cruciferous veggies are krauted, they are predigested, and the proteins are broken down into easily digested amino acids, the starches into simple sugars and the fats into essential fatty acids. My favorite way to eat the kraut is to spoon it onto a quarter of a sliced avocado, and top it with some rinsed dulse (a purple sea weed that has all of the minerals and trace minerals we need). Yum. Cabbage juice will heal a certain type of ulcer if it is drunk within one minute of making, but it still causes gas! |

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 12:10 PM It tastes like comfort food! Then I must try it, especially with the avocado, that sounds good. Dulse will be a new experience for me too. Any kind of cabbage is good? Will one head suffice for me to start with? Cabbage juice will heal a certain type of ulcer if it is drunk within one minute of making, but it still causes gas! Can you tell me what kind of ulcer? My boyfriend had a long-standing and painful problem with what turned out to be an h.pylori ulcer. He took the horrible Asiphex and apparently the bacteria is gone, but sometimes he still gets the similar pain. Great info, thanks so much. Will update you on result.

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 12:23 PM h. pylori can also be killed with oral freshly made (within 15 minutes) wheat grass juice. It is also good to cure duodenal ulcers. |

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 12:27 PM It's better to use 3 heads of cabbage because you need to pack the mash in a crock and one would not be enough. Red/purple cabbage is great for the heart. Dr. Ann Wigmore suggested 2 purple and 1 green head. I worked with her for 22 years and helped her write down some of her thoughts and experiences. This sauerkraut supplies all of your B complex vitamins, even B-12. If you need some immediately, you can order some to be flown to you from Glazer Farms here in Florida. |

Will definitely try making it, thanks for the suggestions. Will check out Wigmore too. Looked at your website ... looks cool ... I haven't really gotten into raw vegan much yet. That Cabbage & Caraway Seed Sauerkraut looks like a good place to start. Do you give free shipping for orders over a certain amount? "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis.

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 1:00 PM I am not involved with Glazer Farms in any way except that I know how they make their sauerkraut and so recommend it. Mrs. Glazer would like to use a ceramic knife to make it so that the metal doesn't react with the food, but they are so expensive and fragile. My son, Brent bought me 3 and a ceramic peeler and this is the best non-reactive present I've ever gotten! I use them every day. I am working with some people in China to get a juicer and blender made with ceramic blade available for the world's use. I don't get any kickbacks for this. Everything I do in the field of teaching wellness is free. |

Aiyiaiyi another thing to ponder/worry about ... not that I can. Good luck though on the ceramic blade and thanks for the rec on sauerkraut.

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Wednesday, September 29, 2010 at 7:31 AM In the 80's, I worked for Ruth Otte, CEO of the Discovery Channel as an on-retainer-like-a-lawyer doctor. My job was to keep her and her family well. Her family included her friends and people who worked for her. This lady got a $ million a month for her job. I lived in between LA and SF in CA while I worked with her and her Pasadena people and also flew to her home in MD to minister. This was a 24 hour a day job bringing people back to life, with wheat grass and baby greens being flown in daily. The friends in her 'family' had been diagnosed with terminal cancers that had metastasized, were on palliatives (medicine to control pain) and were flown in from around the world (some from Gambia in Western Africa where the father had been told to pick out his burial plot) . For him, it took 3 shifts of people for 2 weeks who helped to feed and implant wheat grass juice into those souls in order to get him strong enough to continue the Ann Wigmore Program and get well. The men who had their wives support made quick recoveries. Those without, took a month longer. As a Mayo Clinic doctor, Chunyi Lin has expressed it: "If you believe it, it works; if you don't believe it, it works." They ate Energy Soup which included watermelon, baby greens and weeds, sauerkraut and nut and seed cheeses, Rejuvelac and dulse, at least 3 times a day, usually more, They used a trampoline to get their lymphatic system going, usually to begin with, with my assistance, as we both bounced gently, with my arms under theirs, supporting them. The lymph system cleans the blood. Dirty blood cannot but poison a whole system. I particularly remember one friend who fell out of the taxi who had flown from his brother, who is a Mayo Clinic doctor, and after I asked him if he was ready to work, and he had said yes, I got him under the armpits (which was easy because he was over 6' tall, after we had climbed the huge frame and he stood leaning against me as we surveyed the scenery, far above L.A., seeing the lights of Hollywood below. He told me he couldn't see very well and could barely hear. The liver cancer had spread to his brain and head. I had him to myself for a month. Five weeks after he had arrived, he was out there by himself, leaping up into the sky from the mat of the trampoline, roaring and screaming in joy. All I could do was smile. It had happened again! Expectedly. This healing process is a scientific inevitability. A physical science. Once healing starts, it continues and builds on itself as long as one doesn't eat any foods without the qi energy; as long as one doesn't eat any cooked foods. At that point, the cells are vibrating so fast that they push out anything in the body that is not like themselves. There is no room for dead cancer cells, which are starved to death because they are not being fed by mucus-producing foods, like flour products and dairy, nightshades and caustic liquids like citrus, vinegars, alcohols and Liquid Aminos. The new cells are not being clogged up and killed by vegetable oils, cholesterol foods, and processed flours and salt. The enemas made sure that the waste material, the dead cancer cells and excess fat,protein and starches did not re-absorb (resorb) into his body. This is what kills people. It's not the cancer. It's the body drowning in its own waste. The wheat grass juice implants built new blood and prevented reinfection by the fluke eggs that were being spewed into the body by the dying parasites, trying desperately to perpetuate their species in their host. When you see someone who is getting well who has puffy bags under their eyes, like our exPrez, tell them about colonics and get them a book by Norman Walker so they know how easy it is to have continuing success. It's not enough to stop putting dead cholesterol foods in one's body; you must provide the body a means to get rid of the garbage that will be thrown out of the cells once they gain strength to do the job. This must be done daily before one is awake 2 hours. It is done by the life giving colonic irrigations (enemas and colonics) and implants of fresh (made within 15 minutes) wheat grass juice. |

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 12:40 PM Hi Dr.Flora -- Well I'm eating about a 1/2 cup of my beautiful vermilion colored homemade sauerkraut and it isn't bad at all! Although 2 heads of cabbage did make a bit too much. I can't imagine using 3 as you suggested. In any event, it turned out well, my house is slowly getting less cabbage-stinky. By the way, I didn't have a glass jar ... I made it in a rubbermaid pitcher, and it is now refrigerated in a ziploc container. Is that ok? And what did you mean by scrape the foam off? I didn't really see "foam" ... just some icky brownish stuff which I scraped off. Was also wondering if I could have let it ferment longer ... like 4, or 5 days too make it even more pungent ... is that too much? Can't wait to try it with the avocado and purple dulse ... that sounds pretty weird too, but as you can see I'm pretty adventurous. Except for natto, which I've been hearing about -- do you eat/like natto? Chemistry question: Why does fermenting make things so healthy? Next adventure will be Rejuvalac. Your accounts of bringing people back to health from advanced cancer are amazing! I'm sure you have a lot of grateful ex-patients out there. Bless you. xo "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see oppression vividly when they're the victims. Otherwise they victimize blindly and without a thought."

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 6:10 PM As many, if not all, of the cruciferous veggies are gas producers if you eat them raw, and cause uncomfortable situations like acid reflux, bloating and embarrassing flatulence or burps, that is a signal that we should not eat them in that form. Once they are autolyzed, or slightly krauted/fermented, there is such a noticible difference in the body's peace! Thank you for helping me give really clear directions - you should not 'cap' the kraut with a top because even in the fridge, it's still making, and needs air and a place to discharge gasses from the making. For this reason, a little bit of the one layer of cabbage leaves that topped the kraut while it was making is used to keep it protected from 'germs' but let it breathe in and out. Some people who have not let it breathe find that it either spoils quickly (dies from lack of air or space to exhale), or blows up the jar! Plastic may react with the kraut; in the future, get an old ceramic crock pot(don't even need the outside with the electric element in it) at a thrift store for a couple of bucks. The discoloration you removed is sometimes foamy. Some people eat it. |

Good idea about the garage sale crock pot. I've never had, nor do I think I ever will, try natto. Pictures of it are just too gross. Also Dr. Flora, was wondering what your take on colonics was. You did mention it favorably as one of many modalities for cancer cure/remission. I gather though, from a few feedbacks here, that it's not necessary for vegans who are eating a healthy vegan diet.

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Sunday, October 3, 2010 at 4:06 AM I'm at a loss to answer your question about the smell of the sauerkraut. People who need it (the b complex vitamins alive) the most are sometimes turned off by it. Those of us who look forward to it with eagerness and anticipation must be immune to it, because I love it. If you cap it and it dies, now THERE is a smell I couldn't stand! |

RE: Getting Ready! Posted Sunday, October 3, 2010 at 4:27 AM Re: the smell of the kraut ... well I don't mind it ... I just think that others (and me too I think) will when they open the fridge. It may permeate the whole house. When it was percolating for the 3 days on a shelf it had a subtle cabbagey smell, and I put it in a back room with the window open and closed the door when company came over. Now in a fridge, it's a much more confined space and must be overwhelming if it doesn't have a lid on it. Anyway, I'll figure it out over time. As always thanks for all your interesting knowledge and advice. Definitely wish you luck on your tests, but I doubt that you will need it. You'll be missed here till you get back.
