Guest guest Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Yes DMM, especially when dealing with hard leafy greens, spinach juice too is so full of oxalic acids , same for chards etc.. I never understood what people thought they were deriving out of them. Better to make a bone broth and add vegetables (like I did tonight), people will derive more nourishment from that and not end up doubled over from intestinal cramps as raw juice can cause. piimaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 How about a Thai or Asian style coconut soup for your ginger and garlic? Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kat mentioned that too. I think that is vegie juice I could drink: vegies taste SOOOO much better fermented. I don't have a juicer though, and have not tried it. However, for just a nice drink I think cider-beer or a nice red wine would be my ticket. (Wine has a bit of alchohol, but it's got lots of good stuff in it too).

Broth in a pan, add ginger and garlic and onion and a whole crab (in pieces), with mussels and clams and shrimp if you want. > Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used my blender to juice the veggies - with some water to make it thin enough. Incuded tomatoes, seeds and all. It was pretty thick at first, but after fermenting for a couple days it thinned down to something quite drinkable. The fibrous stuff softens with the fermentation, although there is an occasional crunchy seed bit. > However, for just a nice drink I think cider-beer or a nice red wine > would be my ticket.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 btw woudl this mean i have some form of allergy to garlic. ( i used garlic and ginger last ngiht in my cooking of chicken breast ) today i still can taste the garlic, ginger combo in my mouth Gosh i hope not because the same thing happens to me. We often eat garlic rich food -- esp. salad dressing with raw garlic -- and i often have that taste in my feeth, the smell on my fingers, and even on my jacket. I like it!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 No, I don't think it's an allergy. many spices, herbs and other food stuffs which might be described as 'pungent' (for lack of a better word) will affect your body odour. things like Fenugreek, used daily in Asian Indian and Yemenite cooking impart a very distinct 'body smell' to the people who consume them. same with garlic. they're considered 'pungent' only by cultures who are not used to them. my mother in law implied years ago that in her youth, if someone (rarely, here in the UK in those days) consumed garlic they'd be told they smelled 'French'. How things have changed since then...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Even with the Norwalk juicer, which minimizes the loss of nutrients about as much as is possible, the juice will still oxidize rapidly, and so therefore needs to be drunk immediatly to derive the benifits. Ferenting it would take time, and so it would seem to me you would lose most of the nutrition?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Norman explains in his books that Oxalic Acid is only harmful to the body when cooked. When raw, as nature intended, it is extremely benificial. The cramps you experienced were mostly likely a very desirable 'Healing Crisis'. I would suggest you continue with the raw juices, especially the green ones, and add a little ginger, lemon & pineapple (for the enzymes). Can't think of a better way the increase the immune system, build up the blood (Louis Kervan in his book 'Biological Transmutations " explains that animals & plants have the ability to perform miniature atomic reactions within the cell, and can turn magnesium (from chlorophyll) into iron (as in haemoglobin), silica into calcium, potassium into sodium, etc. This is why cows that eat grass (which contains little iron or calcium) are able to produce high levels of iron & calcium.), and alkalize the body, chris >From: " yogabud " <anthony_byron@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: Best Low carb juice >Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 01:39:53 -0000 > >thanks everyone. >might stear away from making any juice and instead make a broth >sometime this week. > >P.S what are some good things to use ginger and garlic in for a >healthfull mix? > > > > > > Yes DMM, especially when dealing with hard leafy greens, spinach >juice too > > is so full of oxalic acids , same for chards etc..
