Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hi, You could try giving it about an hour after dinner and just before going to bed. That would be empty stomach too and not worry about giving food after PD. I have to give Ojibwa tea at night and that's why i give PD first thing in the morning and breakfast about 1/2 hour later. That's the best we could do. regards, sanrithu > Robin-- > I actually give one scoop at lunch with my son's supplements > and enzymes.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi Robin, I just asked PD this very question and they said for *maximum* benefit it could be given as little as 15 minutes before eating. That leads me to believe you could give it even closer to food, with perhaps the effectiveness being diminished just a bit?

Thanks , That's great. I'll just up the dosage a bit if given with food. I appreciate your help, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Yes, it says for best results.... We still see good results giving with food, supplements and enzymes.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Primal Defense is from Garden of Life. I got mine from a health food store. It sure is expensive though. It says certified organic HSO probiotic formula and contains no dairy products, gluten or GMO ( whatever that is). The container gives a reference : www.gardenoflifeusa.com. Sorry I don't know how to send a link, someone has to tell me how thats done !?!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 You may want to look at your local HFS. I know that the little one here just started getting it and whole foods has the whole line of garden of life products. The HFS here sells the caps for $38 and the powder for $40.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 The bottle I got says to start out with one a day or it can trigger a rapid detox ... perhaps that's what happened for you? Perhaps the powdered form would go down easier for you, if you mind the pills. My doc gave me the physician's version ... do you or anyone else have any idea what the difference is? ~ Fern Re: Kefir healing > I know it is doing something as when I first start taking the stuff, I get > terrible mucus, like it chokes me.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Speaking of Primal Defense. Not sure it is okay to do this but. . . A new group started in November 2003 which is about Garden of Life products and Jordan Rubin it's creator. By the way he has a new book coming out in April 2004. I am sure it will include all his products, hopefully there will not be to much selling, as that will wreck the book for me. The new group says it is not affiliated with the Garden of Life people and get no profits from the information shared there. Anyway here is the link to the new group.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Posted this to the other NT group as well so sorry for the cross post. What is the best coconut oil to use? Expeller pressed or Extra Virgin. I am considering the Garden of Life Extra Virgin.

They're processed at very low temperatures, and two of the three oils I recommended are centrifuged and the other is made using some other process which is supposed to be similarly benign. Also, they taste the best. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Yeah, I'm really stubborn about all that " easing " into things, LOL. Gets me in trouble sometimes. I don't know what I would put the powder in. I have all these bottles(6 mos supply) of pills, so I guess I'll be taking them for a while. Hopefully with yogurt/kefir and kim chee I won't need them any more. I could use less expenses. You could go to the primal defense sight and read the label for the regular version to see if there is a difference.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I think I can answer this one. Virgin Oil has not been heated, so the enzymes are intact; it has not been refined or changed other than removing it from the coconut. It has all the trace nutrients and properties we know nothing about. I ordered the ine oil from WFN and it is fabulous. Creamy white, clear like water when melted. Excellent for cooking, desserts, smoothies, etc. Great for skin care. I got the 5 gallon size, since it represented the most savings. They were very cool about getting it to me by Christmas even though they were out of stock when I ordered.

The heat cause the enzymes to form. Great info Thanks Sheryl Sheryl Illustrations http://dovedesignsrus.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Sheryl- >The heat cause the enzymes to form. No, not at all. Enzymes are proteins which catalyze reactions. Some enzymes are lipolytic. But heat doesn't form them, biological systems do. You'll find enzymes in whole foods, but an oil is a refined food, and in general you don't want it to have any enzyme content to speak of, or it won't keep, but coconut oil can keep for months or even years, because it's been stripped of water and enzymes. There are other fractions remaining in genuine virgin oils, though, which you won't find in RBD oils, and those fractions contribute both nutrition and flavor -- compare the taste of a nice virgin centrifuged oil like Coconut Oil Supreme, which is deliciously aromatic and redolent of coconut, with the near-total absence of all gustatory sensation elicited by any RBD oil. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
