Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 And some comments from me: ( yes, somewhat offtopic, but i think this list has the colloquial lattitude for somewhat offtopic comments. The other list, the serious list, has of course too much technical traffic for such asides to be proper there.) > (1) Far northern latitude tribal experiences of white men > and natives who lived together among the population during > long cold icy winters of total darkness, eating nothing > more than raw meat. I had read somewhere about a powow, mountain men and indians, where the consumption of meats was something like 5 ( or maybe more!) lbs. of meat per day. When i told my brother this, his comment was, i wonder what they smelled like. I do not know if his comment has any basis in reality; anyway, of course, your consumption is likely to be less than several pounds per day.

I believe to some extent this is still practiced in the far north. For example, whale meat, buried for a year and then recovered, is/ was considered a delicacy. It has the consistency of ice cream. ( Considering glycemic factor, may be a more healthy treat than ice cream.) Or " fermented birds " , whole birds buried about the same length of time, also considered a delicacy. So much is just cultural programming, what we turn up our nose at. > In scientific studies, the most effective raw foods to > kill parasites appear to be sprouted seeds (called " sprouts " , > which can be home grown with water only, in inexpensive > " sprouthouses " , which is what I do on my living room carpet). > The best sprouts are the same ones that kill cancer: > The mustard family (raw mustard sprouts, raw broccoli sprouts, > raw cabbage sprouts, etc -- raw cruciferous sprouts). I was bothered by instestinal worms as a youngster, and so i've thought from time to time, what would be a natural self treatment i could apply, even on the small chance that such parasites might occasionally take up residence again. The only thing i came up with on my own, and i don't know how effective, really, is a diet of raw cabbage ( for scraping effect ) and pineapples pieces swallowed whole, for the strong digestive enzymes it has. Your suggestion, which without doubt works better, is appreciated. Hue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Please let me hazzard some guesses re: the current threads : 1.) The cabbage and pineapple sounds like my grandmother's recipe for cole slaw and it's nutritious and healthful, the acidity in the pineapple juices acts to ferment and stabilize the gio's. 2.) Some fermentations esp. pickling produce carcinogens like in the Japanese tsukemono process and are to be avoided, no? 3. ) Somedays you eat the insects, somedays the insects eat you.
