raw egg questions

[Guest guest]

I'm becoming convinced I might be able to benefit from raw eggs even

though my immune system isn't so strong right now.

I've got a few questions:

1. Does anyone know if people who have egg allergies are able to

tolerate raw eggs? (like some people who have dairy allergies, but

can tolerate raw milk)

2. Any suggestions for preparing raw eggs other than in a dairy-type

smoothie? The only dairy I'm able to tolerate at all is a little raw

goat's milk kefir and my raw goat milk is unavailable until March.

3. As for smoothies, didn't someone recently say that it's not good

to put them in a blender -- that that changes the protein somehow?

Do you smoothie makers use blenders, or just whisk it in?

Thanks,

Dr. Mercola recently wrote an article about raw eggs that you

might find useful (http://www.mercola.com/2002/nov/13/eggs.htm).

Regarding egg allergies, my wife can't tolerate more than one cooked

egg, and it has to be organic, or she becomes nauseated. She is able

to eat as many raw eggs as she likes (so far up to 3 in one

sitting). My wife prefers to blend them into her smoothies, but I

just eat them " Rocky Balboa style, " and swig them down in one or two

gulps. The egg white tastes slightly salty, and the texture isn't

bad, and the yolks taste of vanilla (I didn't think they would, but

it's true). I still take a long pause before eating them this way--I

guess it takes a while to overcome decades of anti-raw egg

propaganda. Be sure to buy organic, free-range eggs to decrease the

chance of salmonella infection. Good luck!

Hi ,

I think your immune system will benefit from raw eggs, because of them, not

despite them. I was having chronic infections that I could only stop with

large amounts of coconut oil, but when I started including more raw eggs and

raw meat, this problem went away. Really, it was the raw meat that did it,

but I think that raw eggs would have a similar effect to a lesser degree.

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. "

Hi Deborah,

I usually just eat the yolk, to maximize biotin absorption. Sometimes I eat

the white too. I think I might start eating the half of the whites, and

cooking half, since I eat so many eggs that the yolks I eat should supply

plenty of biotin to compensate for the avadin in, say, half of the whites.

4 dried apricots, soaked overnight in water

2-3 Tbsp. raw butter

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract or bean

Blend on low till smooth. Yum!

Orange Cream custard

1 nice ripe orange, sectioned with juices

2 raw eggs

2 Tbsp. coconut cream (a juiced coconut) or butter

When you eat raw eggs, are you eating the whole egg or just the yolks?

***actually, unless you are eating more than 20 eggs a day, you should

have no problem with egg whites. Even then I'm not sure it is a problem,

but I will defer to what *seems* to be an okay study on the subject.
