One of the major causes of acidity and inflammation in the body is from animal products and refined carbs/ sweets. A starter would be incorporating more of the herbs in meals and/ or as supplements, and get fresh salads every day. For serious treatment, look closely at the info on systemic enzymes.

I have derivative disk disease threw out my back with Arthritis and on anti-inflammatory medications and very strong pain meds for this. So anything I can do to help this out will help. I have already had to have surgery on my neck to have 2 vertebra fused and a plate and screws put in and get injections in my back and base of my skull to help with inflammation and pain.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 . I have read where Iceberg Lettuce (while it's good when it's chunked up) well it has NO nutrients at all. Unless you are growing it yourself (so you know where it came from), why not skip the iceberg and use the sprouts as a basis for your salads. I've been doing this for years. Saves a lot of money on lettuce buying. I now grow my own leaf lettuce outside of my door. And now I'm growing Stevia too!!! lol Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have stopped eating lettuce in my salads. I buy red (purple) cabbage for 49 cents a pound and cut it into salad sized chunks and add whatever sprouts I have to that and that is my salad. I find it very satisfying, tasty and cheap, plus a major nutritional powerhouse. Iceberg lettuce I consider 'dumpster lettuce' since I find so much of that stuff in the dumpsters. Ten times more iceberg lettuce than brassicas. The only people who will take it are the ones who have chickens. (Thank god for chickens, they will eat anything!)

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 We have sunnies growing right now that will be harvested soon for our first trial, they are the walmart bird seed sunnies. They are growing beautifuly!  Want to understand the Bible better?  FREE  studies.  For more info Just ask! ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Friday, June 8, 2012 7:51 AM Subject: Re: question for Ew and anyone who can help  Charlotte, I am certainly with you on the sunflower seeds. I buy seeds in 50# bags to fill my bird feeders. One day I contacted the grower and asked about using them for sprouts. I was told that they were not organic, but were fit for human consumption. He told me that he had been contacted by many people about sprouting and knew of several that do. Even some of his employes. I don't use them any more because I can get cleaner seeds at a local farm store for a good price. ew Re: question for Ew and anyone who can help I'm going to (maybe) get shot down in flames here but after all the talk of bird seed grade black oil sunnies I was reading a thread about them on the UK raw food network. They were saying that these seeds were fine to sprout, just rinse them extra well. So, I bought 100g (3 1/2 oz) to try out. I don't have extensive testing equipment but I pinched some of the water testing stuff my husband uses for his fish tank. None of the rinse water tested positive for anything like acid, nitrates etc, and I gave them a ton of extra rinses. As far as I'm aware from reading about the grubs in these seeds, nothing should be present within the seeds (they chew out and drop into the soil rendering the seed damaged and dead) and anything in with the seeds would rinse away... and on growing, nothing would be actually within the shoots or leaves. I didn't find any grub damaged seeds (I inspected them throroughly!), just a few mechanically damaged ones and a very few rogue seeds from other plants. They've grown beautifully, just as well as my expensive organic seeds. There's more chance of finding grubs and flies in an iceberg lettuce hehe. I'm happy to grow them, they may not be the top grade seeds producing huge tasty sunnies but they're still pretty good.
