Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi , I'm so glad you said, "Every fruit and vege function is to rot/decay/digest and feed it's seed." Recently, there was a food drive for nonperishable food items, and my first thought was, "then it must not be a FOOD drive." Not really, there are some real foods that are meant for storage, like grains and hardened fall crops, but for the most part, digestion is just a glorified food rotting activity. I know we like to think ourselves above such nonsense, but it is true. Another way we like to think of ourselves is "higher" than our pets. I was at my Traditional Nutrition meeting today, and we were having a conversation about salt. Some of the "newbies" in our group were horrified to learn that I eat "pet grade" Celtic sea salt and I drink "pet" milk (a.k.a. "raw" milk). Just yesterday, I was searching through the Cayce readings on "salt," and wouldn't you know he recommended sea salt, the grayer the better. I love how Cayce always shows up one step ahead of all the research. I feel so privileged to have access to Cayce's readings. And, one of the ways to liberate all the health benefits of those seeds (a.k.a. whole grains and legumes) is sprouting, soaking, and fermenting to reduce their sprout-inhibiting phytic acid and to gain access to their full repertoire of vitamins. Speaking of fermenting, fermented beverages (including wine) also aid digestion and acid production. Oh, and one thing to think about that might be "not so easy to hear," is that most of our nutrition is produced by our own poo. We are very loathe to contemplate this fact, but a healthy gut flora is one of the golden keys to optimal health! It is much better than pills. (One more thing Cayce knew very, very well. He was well ahead of his time ;-) Cheers, Robin On 5/14/2011 7:52 AM, dAVId wrote: Just throwing this out, but lack of hydrochloric acid, HCL to digest food can create vertigo. As we age our production of HCL diminishes. Researchers are saying half of us over fifty do not produce sufficient HCL and digestive enzymes to properly digest our food. Supplemental Betaine HCL taken with the last bite of food, will stop that. Urban legends, or could it be money greed, riddle the medical field, ninety five percent of simple heartburn, almost always treated with anti acids is truly a shortage of digestive acids. There is a ton of money to be made from barking anti acids. Sad we are so controlled and manipulated by TV ads, nexium, proton pump. What really happens is the lower sphincter muscle, a circular muscle, in the esophagus will close when suffecient HCL is pumped into the stomach, but stays open until then, which is what causes heartburn, as the stomach acid there, splashes up into the feed tube and burns. It does seem odd, but your body is saying we need more acid to digest this spicy pizza you just woolfed down. Add in, food handlers use enzyme killers on our food to maintain a better fresher looking product, but it makes it very difficult to digest. Every fruit and vege function is to rot/decay/digest and feed it's seed, of course that enzyme also helps us digest our food. david lubbock tx ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
