Re: Digest Number 2472/Bean Flour Suggestion/Vegetarian

[Guest guest]

Comment about BEAN Flour suggestion. Make sure that it is HOME MADE

because store bought is more than likely SCD ILLEGAL because they do

not soak the beans first or cook them. They just grind whole hard

beans. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL STARCH AND NOT A MONODISACHARIDE. Plus

time it takes to cook baked goods in the overn does not denature the

complex sugars (which are illegal) or the dangerous lectins.

Beans have to saok for a minimum of 12 hours and be cooked well

before eating. Plus take care that the gut is healed enough to

handle them. This can truly take some of us up to 6 months or more.

Otherwise the darn things don't digest and even they will FERMENT

and keep the vicious cycle going. In BTVC it says " What the body

does not digest does harm " .

So if you bake with beans....make sure to use the SCD soaked and

cooked and purre to make a base for the cake...cookie or what ever

it is/recipe you are using.

Some vegetarians realize that their sick kids might be better off if

they just buckle down and let their kids eat the meats that are high

in B12 B6, folic and so many things that most SCd kids are defecient

in when they arrive here.

Since grain is not allowed it is impossilbe to get enough natural B

vitamins with SCD foods alone. And sadly to say supplements don't

always cut it when the gut is having problems absorbing.

This doesn't mean that you as a vegetarian parent has to eat

meat....it just means that they may NEED to allow their sick child

to do so, to be healthy and to come back to health.

PLease read about what B defeciencies do to the brain, neurological

system by going to library and getting a book on nutrition...look up

foods that are SCD legal that have a good B source. Especially in

the most crucial (B12, B6 and Folic). Eat those foods and heal.

My one daughter's body CRAVES " clean " organic liver that has no

hormones and junk in it. She was the sickest ou of all of us....it

is no wonder that the body realizes what it needs. Liver is the

highest in those MUCH needed nutrients. I can't imagine doing this

right vegetarian.

Best of luck!
