sally's position on phytic acid chelating undesirable metals

[Guest guest]

" I think we can answer this question by taking a look at the dietary

practices of the Hebrews. Most of the year they ate leavened bread. But for

a short period, during the spring when they would be fasting before Passover,

they ate unleavened bread. During this short period, the phytic acid in the

bread helped to detoxify undesirable metals. However, they did not eat

unleavened bread throughout the year as that would have led to mineral

deficiencies. "

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

--Saint Isaac the Syrian
