Re: eczema/cabbage juice and beet kvass

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had tried beet kvass or cabbage jiuce to

help thier digestion and in so doing got rid of or improved their

eczema?

I noticed, in the last Wise Traditons, Sally drinks two cups of beet

kvass a day. Has anyone else tried that much? What kind of reaction

did you have eating beet kvass or cabbage juice? If I have that much

of either I feel very sick. Maybe it is best to start out at a

tablespoon or so and then slowly add more. I have read this is the

way kombucha should be taken.

I find it hard to believe I could be so toxic that I would have the

nausea I am experiencing. It's a puzzle!

TIA,

Sheila

That is how topical hormone creams work. That is also why it is

important not to put chemicals via store soaps and colognes and

laundry soap on the skin. It does absorb and does add to the toxic

load of the body.

Hopefully that is the case. Still, it is not a good idea to use this

type of unnatural product long term.

I eat a cup or two of kimchi a day, with no bad reactions

at all. Raw cabbage, however, does not set well at all.

I went on a " cabbage soup " kick one week, using 1/2 cup

sliced cabbage in hot soup every night -- it tasted good

but, it was, shall we say, far worse than beans in the

aftereffects department.

What skin conditions I had went away when I changed

my diet (to no wheat, few packaged foods, more sat fat,

and using coconut oil), so I can't say if the kimchi helps

skin. But it sure helps with digesting a meal. Also seems

to curb hunger. I tried kvass too, and I tried adding

beets to the kimchi -- it worked about the same as

kimchi, only more sour, and I didn't like it.

Koreans eat a lot of kimchi every day, 3 meals a day.

No reported bad effects. Eastern Europeans eat a lot

of sauerkraut. The only thing I've noticed written

about it is that they get less breast cancer as a result.

Hi Heidi,

Thank you for replying.

It was Sally Fallon who suggested I try beet kvass for you rosacea

and eczema. It helped a lot. All the NT whole foods have led to

improvements in my health. Recently I tried the cabbage juice and got

so nausous. I also had to dash for the bathroom.

I always eat raw foods like, dairy, cheese, salad and I eat kimchi,

fermented radish or saurerkraut with every meal. Great foods. I

absolutey love them all. They are a miacle for digestion.

I guess it's time to start another food log.

I do eat sprouted wheat bread occasionally. Maybe that is the

problem. I'll check that out. I had the blood test for sensitivity to

gluten, but perhaps it is the wheat protein that bothers me. I have

learned so much from your posts on gluten. Thanks a bunch.

Good luck. The blood tests for gluten sensitivity aren't very

good unless you are REALLY sensitive to it, and if you

eat it a lot. If you only eat it occasionally you will test negative,

most likely. I suspect other sensitivities cause rosacea too --

mine is gone, but when I eat something I react to I usually get

a pimple or two, and turn reddish. But it could be some other

protein -- I think soy sauce (non wheat) is a problem that way too,

for me.
