Not to be dampening the subject, but who is Norman and why does he

think one of the best foods a veg can eat would be bad for you?

Hi , I'm new to the group, so please forgive me if I state the obvious.

Have you looked at the spoutpeople web site? There's a page with instructions

for sprouting peanuts as well as buying them. The full link is:

Hope that tells you what you need to know!

Hello,

My name is Kathy Sweeney & I was wondering : You know as your in the

grocery store walking in the produce isle,you come across " bean sprouts " .

I was wondering what kind of beans they were grown from?

My husband & I have been eating Sti-fry for the last month & we add bean

sprouts,alfafa sprouts, snap peas,zucunni,green beans,carrots,bell

peppers,onions & sometimes chicken or beef.We tried pork once & really didn't

like it as much.

Could you please give us some different ideas on different vegetables?

Thank you for your reply

If they are long tailed white sprouts, fairly thick for a sprout ,with

yellow coloured 'leaves' on one end - the sort you get in Chinese meals,

then they are Mung Beans.

These are generally what the upermarkets call bean sprouts.

> Hi, group, peanuts with just a little tail are delicious!!

I wonder, do sprouted peanuts have less fat than unsprouted?

[Guest guest]

Are sprouted peanuts a bit wet, sort of lke boiled peanuts. I like them dry

but just wondered if the sprouted ones are a bit wet.

Now that is an idea! I make peanut butter from " normal " peanuts, so how

does the sprouted butter differ from " normal " butter?

Can you use salted nuts?

passage from the book " The Raw Gourmet " (Nomi )(p.116);

++++++++++

~~~A fungus called aflatoxin naturally occurs in the peanut crop and

although the crops

are inspected for it, a certain percentage is " allowed. " Since aflatoxin is

a proven carcinogen,

it's good idea to avoid peanuts.Also, peanut butter isn't made from raw

peanuts;

it is always produced from the roasted nuts.

++++++++++++++

i hope this info become good addition.(i've heard AF2(aflatoxin 2) often

grows

on nuts is one of the most strongest carcinogen*)

and the book is replacing peanut butter to almond butter.

my guess is.....by sprouting peanuts you may get the freshest of them

and most nutritious as well as safer product + .

myself was impressed! when i read this article.

best,

aya

Thanks chuck for that. I have no known allergy to peanuts and dont

experience mouth or tongue irritation when eating peanut butter - its

the next day. I feel like I have reduced function in the same way as

when I dont have sufficient thyroid hormone. Its very noticeable.

I have never been a peanut butter eater and only brought some into the

house for my grandchildren. It was only after I had some on a dry

cracker that I experienced the affect.

I do have a high uric acid profile, perhaps the connection is there

Funny enough this months Shomons newsletter tackles this very

subject of peanut butter and reported affects on thyroid !!!

Now here is an interesting thing, it appears that peanuts create URIC

ACID. I am currently researching this as I have high uric acid and

it 'may be' that it is high uric acid, temporarily raised even further

by the peanut butter that is causing me the problem.

Bob maybe interested in this connection.

Unable to edit message - that link I posted isnt relative after all.

Haven't you hit the nail on the head. I go tomorrow to the specialist

and after seeing a copy of my bloods I am expecting a diagnosis of

LUPUS. I also think the Lupus has been made worse by high uric acid.

Your post also fits with my inability to eat peanut butter. all the

pieces come together eventually. I plan on posting a thread about when

" fibro isnt fibro !!! - its uric acid " - when I get back from the

specialist.

Good luck , and I will await your thread "when fibro isn't fibro".

Hi ,

So sorry to hear ‘it may be Lupus’ but

give you some hope in the situation you find yourself – my Lupus went

into remission status once I got thyroxine which helped - what I learned later -

was Hashi. Might I also add my thyroid condition did NOT show up in blood test

results – hence my 10 year fight with the medical profession to get thyroid

meds. Lot of damage was done to my body because they would not look to the

symptoms.

Please feel free to ask for any advice if it is Lupus

and I will do all I can to help…………..

Regards

Again, raw peanuts contain goitrogens, but roasting destroys them. Similarly soy

beans contain goitrogens unless they are fermented.

Bee,

I have loved peanuts my whole life but two summers ago in the worst

of my candida I ate a bag of roasted peanuts and had to go to the

hospital. My eyes and mouth were twitching, my chest was caving in

and my arms and hands were going numb. I had no idea what had caused

it at the time since I had always eaten peanuts and loved them. After

that I had incidents where I would consume peanuts and feel like I

was dying. I put my emergency info by the phone for my son. I still

did not connect this. After my son did some allergy testing so did I.

I came up highly allergic to peanuts, soy, and peas. I had some

lesser food allergies to corn, oranges, almonds and tomatoes. After

staying off many of these foods on the candida diet I actually can

feel a reaction to corn now if I have some.

My question is, you said that you were scared of peanut butter

because you had a reaction. ME TOO. Did that go away when the candida

got under control? I fully understand the concept of your body being

overloaded and can not handle but so much. I am still in awe that

this is the second fall I have had no allergies. I am usually sick

the whole time. That is one way I know I am improving. However I am

scared to death of peanuts now and I would love to know that one day

I might be able to have them again.

Shelby,

I'm not sure but I personally am expecting for all my many, many

allergies to be completely healed after I cure the candida. (I have

multiple food allergies, hay fever and fur animal allergies) As I

understand it, alleriges are caused by a weak immune system (that

overreacts because it is disfunctional). So when the candida is

finally under control I will know my immune system has the upper hand

again. But until that day (I have 2 years remaining) I carry an

adrenaline shot in my bag with me at all times. It helps me feel safe

since I know from allergy testing that I have nut and soy allergies

that can kill me. I can recommend getting a prescription for this

life saving shot. I've thankfully never had to use it but I feel a

lot safer with it. One day I hope I won't have to carry it anymore.

I am sure that day will come thanks to Bee.

[Guest guest]

Oh , I sure hope that day comes that our allergies are gone or more

tolerable. I am allergic to peanuts, soy, corn. I am a little allergic

to oranges, almonds, and tomatoes. I just don't understand how I can

eat peanuts and be okay and then the next year I can't. I also

developed chemical sensitivities and had to sell my new truck and get a

used car. I had my husband buy us a used camper because of chemicals.

This is not as bad as it was a year ago. I can feel I am getting

better. My son is allergic to wheat, dairy, eggs, soy and chocolate.

That is the major list and does not list all the little ones that he

has like grapes and apples.

I am going to try to remember to remember your name since we share this

problem.

My son's asthma and environmental allergies are completely gone. He used to

carry an inhaler all the time. He did not have life threatening allergies,

but the rest are all gone, so I do believe it's totally possible. Things

improved dramatically when we got very very strict with the diet. Good for

you, being willing to do all it takes to get rid of them! You'll get there.

Hi Shelby. Yes, even organic peanuts are a problem. Other butters

are also a problem since the nuts must be soaked prior to grinding

them or the enzymes and phytates in them will block mineral

absorption and interfere with protein digestion. You could buy raw

nuts, soak them in salt water, dry them and then grind them for him.

Instead of nut butters he should eat meats and vegetables. You should

have your son on this program since it builds up the immune system so

he wouldn't be so allergic.
