Many recipes start with ginger, garlic, jalapeno pepper, tumeric, fennel, mustard seed. All type O stuff - and the flavor combinations are incredible! Forget salt and pepper.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 1999 Report Share Posted November 13, 1999 I really like spinach but do have thyroid problems so I guess I should look at not consuming so much spinach. My temp the last couple of days has been 96.6 which is up from a few days ago. I go in for a TSH on Thursday. I've been feeling really draggy lately...I have a lot of trouble getting out of bed in the morning and I've always been a morning person. This is really bugging me.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 1999 Report Share Posted November 13, 1999 Oxalic acid blocks calcium absorption. This is more important for women, especially women over 50 or postmenopausal women of any age, than for men. I did read the thyroid limiting qualities somewhere. Not all Type O's have low thyroid function so that would not be a problem for those with healthy thyroids. I do have a currently underactive thyroid (axillary temp has gone DOWN again; drat!). When I eat spinach, as in one serving at one meal, my axillary temperature drops about a degree the next morning. That settles the matter for me for now. When my thyroid is happier, I will enjoy spinach occasionally. It seems like one strong aspect of ER4YT is to start understanding that physically we are unique and that, similarly, our nutrirional needs will be unique. Maybe it's okay if we take into consideration unique aspects of our own health and do what is harmonious with healing ourselves. This is a wonderful invitation to avoid the " one-size-fits-all " solution so popular in much of Western nutrition. Spinach is a great food, but not alsoways and not for everyone, not even everyone who has Type O blood. That doesn't mean Dr. D'Adamo is wrong. It means we get to stay alive, thinking and nondogmatic as we apply what he has put out to help us.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 This is the first I have heard of this. I eat it ALMOST every day...for what it is worth. Great source of iron. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of carol lorac Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 8:08 PM Subject: Spinach At either my pre-op or post-op clinic, Dr. R talked about avoiding spinach but I don't remember the reason.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Perhaps because of Vitamin K content? Spinach is high in the vitamin. People who are on coumadin are told to be careful of foods that have Vit K because it acts the opposite of blood thinners; that is, it increases clotting. I went to clinic w/Dr. R and he did not say anything about this to our group... Joanie 5/25/04 Drs.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 If you have a tendency for kidney stones then Spinach is high in osscilates and can contribute to the formation of kidney stones.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 > > > okay. I find this stuff gives me a lot of gas. I do understand that > Iron is important to have in the diet. Another thing that I have read was that Candida uses Iron to build its cell wall. Cany anyone verify this. Hence why the gas scared me away from eating it. ==>Marko,many foods like spinach also kill off candida and candida puts out carbon dioxide which is gas. You wouldn't want to avoid everything that could feed candida, i.e. iron. Iron is very important for your health. By the way all carbs feed candida, but you wouldn't want to eliminate them all unless you want to go on an all meat and good fats diets (by the way it wouldn't hurt you to do that).

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 A quick search on google brought up nadda, zilch. One website mentioned that it takes 7-12 days for them to sprout though.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 ----- Original Message ----- From: Shepard Salzer ===>For others, it is because it is high sulfur. About 50% of mercury toxic people do not do well with high sulfur foods. This may be, in part, one of the reasons why withdrawing milk is beneficial, for some. For some it may be the oxalic acid.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Spinach Why It's Healthy: -- Spinach contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two immune-boosting antioxidants important for eye health. -- Recent research found that among cancer-fighting fruits and veggies, spinach is one of the most effective. Quick Tip: Spinach is a healthy -- and flavorless -- addition to any smoothie. You won't taste it, we promise! Try blending 1 cup spinach, 1 cup grated carrots, 1 banana, 1 cup apple juice, and ice.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Shari, My belief is that somethings are just gonna happen... a process of growing older, progressing on in life to the next journey... if our bodys live forever, we will never "graduate" to the next level or adventure. That is not to say we shouldn't work on the problem ... my other thing is I don't want to get to the next life too soon.. or before I'm suppose to.. and have God say to me.... "IF ONLY" you had done this or tried this... you weren't supposed to be here yet... Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. Interesting. I've been doing a lot of spinach in green smoothies the last year and I went for an eye exam yesterday to discover my eyes have improved! Funny, though the doctor said I have the beginnings of cataracts. What the????????? Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
