Re: Re:OT Adults with die off question!

This is very interesting, as my dr. has 2 of my sons and me

drinking apple cider vinegar before each meal to help

digestion because stool tests showed incomplete digestion.

Re:OT Adults with die off question!

This is not a part of offixcial SCD protocol but adds in

more detail to your comments,

. It reflects the opinion of the Author, Dr. herbert

Shelton.I stuck an OT label on for

that reason.

Vinegar retards digestion

Experiments have shown that as small a portion of vinegar as

one in 5,000 sppreciab1y

diminishes the digestion of starch by its inhibiting or

destructive effect upon the salivary

amylase. One part in 1,000 renders starch digestion very

slow and twice this quantity

arrests it altogether. From these facts it becomes evident

that vinegar, pickles (saturated

with vinegar), salads on which vinegar has been sprinkled

and salad dressings containing

vinegir, are unwholesome substances to take into the human

digestive tract, especially

when taken with starchy foods such as cereals, bread,

legumes, potatoes and the like.

Vinegar is not an evil merely because its highly toxic

acetic acid content destroys ptylain

(salivary amylase), but it also contains alcohol, which

precipitates the pepsin of the gastric

juice and retards or prevents gastric digestion of proteins.

What wonder then that pickles

and vinegar have been found useful in reducing weight. They

cripple the first two stages

of digestion. My readers should know that apple cider

vinegar, which is so much lauded

today as a " wonder drug " in folk medicine con tains both

acetic acid and alcohol and is

unfit for use, not alone because it impairs digestion, but

also because it contains these

two virulent poisons.

me

,

Instead of me asking tons of OT questions, can you please post the link

to your compendium and maybe a more private email? If this is the wrong

, please disregard. I just remember a while back reading some really

good stuff. Thanks, Jenn & Kali 17 months scd with no more GI distress!
