Re: Re: Ear Ache/Beta Glucan

The traditional Swiss Meusli, which was invented as a health

cereal and often served in Switzerland, involves soaking rolled

oats in milk overnight, and adding nuts and dried fruit before

eating. I do love oats that way ... much easier than cooking too!

Beta glucan is one of those polysaccharides I'm always

soapboxing about. I don't think cooking hurts it ... I think

it's the " gooey " stuff in oatmeal. Some polysaccharides are

really good for microbial health in your gut. Konjac

glucomannan is another one.

Supposedly Rejuvelac is loaded with polysaccharides. There's a doctor that

formulated polysaccharides capsules (he and his capsules are on the net

somewhere) and he claims that he cured cancer using polysaccharides.

I soak Bob's Red Mill Meusli in Greek yogurt for 30 minutes, and what a treat!

Yummo.

I eat cooked and raw oatmeal, just to cover all my bases. For nearly 2 years I

fed uncooked rolled oats daily to my sick and dying parrot. He lived for alot

longer than the other infected parrots that came from his breeder. I also did

EFT on him (energy work).
