[Guest guest]

Melenda,

Where are you getting these fast sprouts from? Are they organic?

I rinse mine in GSE and that kills anything.

GSE is grapefruit seed extract and it is the earth's best antiseptic,

antibiotic and disinfectant and it is natural...I drink it every day and

have not had a cold in over 10 years...

Check out this website.

Too much of anything is bad for you...if you just have a little bit of

ground flax seed daily, that is good, the oil is not as complete as flax

seeds.

see now, in that virgin coconut oil sight they have a link to a flaxseed oil

information page and it says that you should never eat flax meal raw--i was

told to ALWAYS eat it raw and never cook it because the oil will oxidize~ has

anyone heard anything about this?

also, has anyone ever gotten sick eating home grown sprouts? i just read an

article that says i should cook all sprouts due to salmonella or e-coli--this

seems counter productive to me and ridiculous! any thoughts?

Lorraine,

When you use GSE to rinse sprouts, how do you go about it? I've been a bit

hesitant to grow sprouts for Kulvu as I've heard about mold etc I'm still not

totally sure how to go about growing the sprouts, nor how to make sure they are

safe. How much GSE do you use? Do you rinse it off? Is there a residue on the

sprouts? Do you have birds? If so, if there is a residue on the sprouts, is this

safe for birds?

Melinda,

What kind of sprouters have you ordered (brand? website?)? I've never heard of

" no rinse " , I thought all sprouts had to be rinsed...and a LOT!

Dear Lorraine.

as i am new at all this, forgive me if this a very basic question, but what

is GSE, you said you use it for rinsing.

Carolyn,

GSE is Grapefruit seed extract and if you didn't get the info website, let

me know....great antifungal, antibacterial and disintefctant..

[Guest guest]

Neath,

I use about 5 drops AFTER the soak, in the first rinse. I let it stand for

about 5 minutes and then rince and cotinue as normal.

I use GSE to clean everything and even take it with tea every morning!

I have to run, but I did find a lot of info searching around.

There's a excerpt from the first site plus a few others which have

good info on this subject :

http://www.cancure.org/cancer_fighting_foods.htm

Broccoli, especially sprouts, also have the phytochemical

sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin - believed to aid in

preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer.

Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can

deactivate free radicals and carcinogens.

I don't know if I can give you a scientific answer to this but basicly

phytoestrogens ( I spelled it wrong before) act like the hormone estrogen in the

body. They are often called estrogen mimics. They are in foods that we eat and

in the air, because of polution. They are fine for women but raise hovac with

men.

I think phytoestrogens might be good for men. If it could help them get in touch

with their feminine side. Maybe they could read our minds better.

One site I looked at said this about men and phyotestrogens (I've

also heard it isn't a prob for men to ingest them, too -- but the

chemistry is very complicated, so I'm not getting into that here.

Like you said, you have to have more of a scientific interest to

understand a lot of the info; true, we're a sprout site, lol.)

Here's what one site I visited had to say, anyway (it's not overly

arcane) :

What are the effects of phytoestrogen foods on men?

In short term studies, the results suggest that feeding men a

phytoestrogen rich diet does not affect hormone levels but may

decrease cholesterol levels (high blood cholesterol is associated

with increased risk of heart disease).

One study showed that a small number of infants fed on soya based

formula milk had high levels of isoflavones in the blood possibly

sufficient to exert biological effects. The effects of this are

unknown and may be positive or negative. The Committee on the

Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment

(COT) and the Food Advisory Committee (FAC) have reported on soya

based formula and stated: " we are not aware of any report that

suggests populations that habitually ingest high quantities of soya

e.g. China or Japan, have impaired fertility or altered sexual

development " .

It has been suggested that high levels of oestrogen type compounds in

the environment especially organophosphates in pesticides and

plastics may be responsible for the reported decreasing levels of

male fertility. Phytoestrogens are distinctly different from

environmental oestrogens in that they are not stored in the body but

are absorbed and excreted in urine.

THEY BREAK DOWN EITHER. YOU MIGHT WANT TO RESEARCH XENOHORMONES.>>>>>

BUT DONT WORRY ABOUT THIS FOR TOO LONG. JEHOVAH HAS EVERYTHING UNDER

CONTROL. HE PROMISED THAT HE WOULD " bring to ruin those who are ruining the

earth " . AND AS CREATOR, HE HAS AN AMAZING PLAN TO REGENERATE THIS EARTH. THE

SCRIPTURES TELL US THAT ONE DAY THERE WILL BE A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH AND A

TIME WHEN THERE WILL BE NO SORROW, NO DEATH, AND ALL TEARS WILL BE WIPED AWAY.

ALL THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW...XENOHORMONES, GEOGRAPHICAL

DISASTERS, THE ANIMALS DYING, PEOPLE SICK AND HOMELESS, THE CONTAMINATED FOOD

CHAIN.... MAN HAS BROUGHT ALL OF THIS ON HIMSELF. MAN WAS GIVEN CHARGE OF THIS

WONDROUS PLANET AND THE DIVERSITY OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES AND MANKIND HAS

RUINED IT OUT OF GREED, SELFISHNESS, MEANNESS,,, AND HAS TRAMPLED WHAT WAS MOST

BEAUTIFUL ...AND FOR WHAT...TO MAKE PLASTICS????? LIFE SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE

IMPORTANCE.

What if you gave a child a puppy, and as that child grew up, he fed the puppy

poisons just out of not caring, dumped chemicals in puppy's waterbowl

carelessly, sometimes gave him drugs for amusement to see what it would do,

shocked puppy with electricity for entertainment.....this is what man has done.

By pollution and experimentation. Think how Jehovah must feel. We were given

charge over these precious gifts and look how man's greed and carelessness is

responsible for this. Man has destroyed what was precious and beautiful. No

wonder Jehovah said his spirit would not always strive with mankind. Haven't you

known of parents who " wrote off their kids " when they became incorrigible?

unappreciative? selfish? Jehovah is beyond disappointment and anguish. His wrath

is being unleashed. Have you ever given a child something and you saw they were

not taking care of it and in your disgust said " Well, fine! I'll just take it

back " . It so hurts to see this happening. But at the same time I

know mankind deserves to reap what he has sown. Mankind has been warned. He has

been offered instruction, but turned a deaf ear and preferred to follow

doctrines that were more self-seving. And those who are ruining the earth will

probably never take responsibility for what they have done. They would never

change. So Jehovah has to change it. Oh, it is a day of darkness.

IT IS TOO LATE TO CORRECT THE THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SET IN MOTION. ITS

TOO LATE NOW TO WORRY ABOUT THE POLLUTION AND THE XENOHORMONES, ETC ETC. WE ARE

AT THE END OF THIS SYSTEM FOLKS. WE ARE ENTERING THE DARKEST HOUR NOW.

AND IF THE MODERATORS WANT TO KICK ME OFF FOR " GETTING OFF SUBJECT " THEN LET

ME ASK HOW ITS OFF SUBJECT...WHERE DO SEEDS COME FROM? WHAT GIVES LIFE TO MAKE

THEM GROW? HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT SEEMS SO INSIGNIFICANT AS A SMALL SEED GIVE

SUCH POWER TO SUSTAIN A HUMAN BEINGS LIFE AND ENERGY? WHO THOUGHT TO CREATE SUCH

THINGS? YOU THINK IT JUST DRIFTED IN FROM OUTER SPACE?

Are you sure it is mold? From the Sprout People website:

---

Note: These wonderful little Brassica plants have a unique root structure.

Brassicas will show microscopic roots starting around day 3. They are called

root hairs and are most visible just before Rinsing when the sprouts are at

their driest. When you Rinse the root hairs will collapse back against the

main root. Many folks thing these root hairs are mold - but they are not.

Now you know!

---

For broccoli the seeds should be soaked about 8 hours (a little less or more

is not a problem), then rinsed and drained.

Make sure that there isn't a lot of water in the bottom of the ouside

container of the EasySprout.

Rinse and drain at least twice a day. The way I usually rinse is to fill the

container with water, slosh the inside part up and down gently, then pull it

out, let the water run out, then run some fresh water down over the sprouts.

Let it drain and put it back together.

I just got my first bag of broccoli seeds and began to sprout them in

my EasySprouter but I only got a few sprouts (didn't soak them long

enough) and the sprouts, which were only 1/4 inch long, had white mold

on them. How can I prevent the White Mold ? Was there too much

moisture? Should I have not rinsed them? What's up ?

Thank you for your great broccoli sprout news. I just got some yesterday, and am

thrilled with the prospect of boosting so many good things! Kind regards,

some recent discussion on these little sprouts:

Yes, we've been through this--broccoli, good. The news: Broccoli

sprouts are even better. At a mere 3 days old, they contain at least

20 times as much of disease-fighting sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS)

as their elders; SGS has been shown to:

Kill tumors

The chemical triggers enzymes in the body that either kill cancer

cells or keep them from growing. Just 1 ounce of sprouts has as much

SGS as 1 1/4 pounds of broccoli. That'll save you lots of chewing.

Protect your heart

People who ate about a half cup a day of sprouts lowered their total

cholesterol by an average of 15 points, and women in the study raised

their good cholesterol by 8 points--in just 1 week, found a Japanese

pilot study.

Save your sight

Exposure to UV sunlight over time may lead to an eye condition called

macular degeneration, which is the number one cause of blindness in

US seniors. Researchers at s Hopkins determined that broccoli

sprouts can protect retinal cells from ultraviolet light damage.
