Re: I eat Melons all the time! /Canteloupe

[Guest guest]

nne,

Melons are not off limits. Canteloupe has very

poroused skin that mold can cling to and grow on

very easily. If you look at canteloupe skin you

can see the mold on many. Dr told me nothing is

wrong with canteloup itself. You can buy it and

have it at home but don't buy it already cut up

or eat it out. If skin is not washed VERY, VERY

well, knife just drags the mold through the fruit

and if in a fruit salad and contaminate the other

fruits it is in with. He said wash the

canteloups skin VERY well, scrub it clean. Then

he said to peel the skin off and rinse canteloup

with peel gone again very well and then cut it

up. Not a problem with watermelon, honeydew,

etc, those with smooth skin. Although I wash

their skin now too but in case they were up

against canteloupe or put in bin that just before

contained canteloupe.

well, my fevers got the best of me last night and i went to bed

with extra blankets and sweated it out, i do fell better today but my

urinary tract infection isn't much better which supprized me, it's

hanging in there,and I drank a bunch of gatoraide last night. the

pain is pretty bad. so if I can get ahold of her I am going to have

her pick me up some fresh garlic too and just eat it raw. lol's

yummy, fresh garlic and watermellon. hope this

works.

I've been eating lots of melon and other fruit

too. Gotta get it when the getting is good. I'm

freezing some for later. I've discovered I like

eating frozen fruit so freq don't bother to

actually dethaw it. Sometimes into blender for

frozen fruit slush...refreshing! I also

discovered I like nuts frozen. It keeps them

from going rancid and they don't freeze too hard

to eat. It just makes them crunchier. Of course

you are supposed to soak nuts with vit c or other

way to demold and detoxify them. I don't like

them much after they are soaked so I don't eat

them as much anymore.
