Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 > From: " azdmarie " <nortons@...> > is there a way to rinse or soak my citrus and veggies, to get off some of the residue from pesticides? No. It's in every cell and fiber and you can't get it out. I don't eat foods that are saturated in drugs and pesticides, like meat and dairy. Consider, the higher on the food chain, the higher the percentage in the food. For example, meat might have 1000 times the concentration of pesticides as the veggies they get the meat from. Veggies are the lowest on the food chain and thus their percentage is much lower. I always get organic whenever and wherever I can get it. Most all of the veggies I get from my garden. When organic is not available, such as when I've been too lazy, I might get the veggies from the farmer's market or (last resort) the grocery. I feel it is much more important to have a grated salad, even if from the farmer's market, than to do without it and have something else that would be much worse. I have made many many salads from veggies that were probably not organic. And I have never tried to wash it out with soap or anything like that. Besides that I won't eat food that has soap on it! I am very particular and picky about what I eat. And like I said, you can't wash it out anyway. And for 1/1000 the concentration that would be in dairy or meat, I much prefer the odds for the veggies. It's possible organic non genetically tampered with foods might eventually disappear from the planet anyway. They are quite rare already.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Hi Dawn, You could try washing with normal dish soap then rinse well. - Or to be safer you could peel the fruits and vegetables.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 I believe that you could soak in water with a bit of vinegar? or salt? and there are natural products out there for cleaning vegies. Fruits often have a waxy coating, I soak in warm water and scrub off gently with scrub pad. As much as possible I avoid taking off skin as if you can get past the pesticides (yuk) there are a lot of nutrients in the skin. L.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 I use a handful of baking soda and a cup of vinegar. This will help to cut the bad pesticide & clean your veggies. I too wash apples and things like this in a warm dish soap water to clean and then rinse well. --- In gallstones@y..., " L.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Thanks for the replies. I ended up doing a search last night and found a recipe for half vinegar, half water. It took the wax off the apples really well. I have to say that the Detox tea is disgusting. I am looking forward to the potassium broth though.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Yes, grow your own if you can - I've read about a simple grow your own sprouts which takes up very little room and which will supply you with all the veggies that you need (in sprout form) If buying non pesticide free veggies, I've read to peel to reduce amount of contaminants. Yes the skin has lots of nutrition, but better to avoid pesticides and eat/drink more fresh food than to increase level of toxins in body. That's the unfortunate reality of living on a toxic planet. ~Suzanne > > From: " azdmarie " <nortons@v...> > No. It's in every cell and fiber and you can't get it out. > Veggies are the lowest on the food chain and thus their percentage is much lower.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Get a magnet and place it on the sink and polarize the water and it will polarize the veggies. If your sink is fiberglass then polarize the water first by putting it in a stainless steel pan and setting it on the magnet for about 5 minutes. > Yes, grow your own if you can > - I've read about a simple grow your own sprouts which takes up very > little room and which will supply you with all the veggies that you > need (in sprout form) > > If buying non pesticide free veggies, I've read to peel to reduce > amount of contaminants.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Go to this web site and check out the information she has. I have used the Springlife Polarity pillows for over 30 years and I can tell you they work. They are especially good for making the pesticides on your food inert and harmless to you. I think everyone needs to own at least one. I keep one one my computer and one on my tv to block the radiation rays. I have a big one on my bed at all times for sleeping. They make poisons inert. http://www.choosecra.com/html%20pages/aboutus/sandebio.html I would not want to be without them. > > Yes, grow your own if you can > > - I've read about a simple grow your own sprouts which takes up > very > > little room and which will supply you with all the veggies that you > > need (in sprout form) > > > > If buying non pesticide free veggies, I've read to peel to reduce > > amount of contaminants.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 No they are not a placebo effect. I busted the toe nail on my big toe about 20 years ago. I dropped a big dish pan with other stainless steel bowls in it. The nail broke in 5 directions. Talk about hurt. I could not even stand up and talk, I just sat in the floor & cried for 20 minutes. Finally I got up and called my mother to come help me. She thought something had happened to one of the kids I was still crying so hard. I told her no they were fine, I had busted my big toe and I could not finish getting the kids off to school. I went to bed and put my big soft polarity pillow over my foot in an arch. It made it hurt worse at first, but soon it quit and every time I took it off, the pain was horrible and it would bleed. I had to stay in bed all day and keep it up. I did put some kind of medicine on it, I don't remember what now. But the next day when I awoke, my toe was not sore. I had no swelling. I could not believe it. I had to go to church, and I did wear a shoe on that foot. This is my main story on these. The lady that discovered this product, had taken her daughter out to eat, and she always carried one in her purse and would run it over her food before she ate it. Her daughter thought she was silly and would not do it. They both ate swordfish. They went their separate ways afterwards. About an hour later the mom got a call from the daughter that she was sick. She knew what was wrong with the daughter so she took 6 pillow/boxes with her. When she got there the girl could hardly move. The mom laid one on each side of the shoulder area, and two on the lower side of the body near the hips, and the other two at the feet. It took about 2 hours for the girl to be able get up. But she was fine and never again did she feel her mom silly for using them. My brother built a house and insulated it with that foam insulation. When I went to see him, It made my eyes and nose and lungs burn. I took the little box and put it in my bra and wore it the rest of the time I was there. It made the poison inert to where it did not affect me like it did at first. This is the best I can tell you about them. Hope it helps. > > > Get a magnet and place it on the sink and polarize the water and it > > > will polarize the veggies.

This is true, hard to get away from pesticides unless there is a way to get completely organic foods. That's why I like my organic powdered juice products...just add to water and drink...yes, lazy, I know :-) Like to spend my time doing other things than preparing foods, juicing...don't have a really good trustworthy source for organic foods, so settle for " the best of the worst " at the supermarket.
