Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 It's an herb. Why would it be banned? I guess it's like hemp seed in the US. It can be purchased here from Canada, but not grown here. Government protecting the people. Yeah right. Another suggestion for a natural sweetener is agave nectar. It's low glycemic honey-like syrup from a cactus.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi Danny, You probably eliminated them because they are considered a high glycemic food. This means they turn to sugar quickly in the body and if lots of high glycemic foods are eaten on a regular basis they can do more harm then good. Its the moderation thing again. The thing you have to be careful of is not eating those type of foods all day long like lots of people do, that is how diabetes is caused in adult onset cases.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi Danny, How about good old tomato juice that covers up most tastes pretty well. Can you capsule it? I have never used it so have no idea what it tastes like. I used to have leaky gut and with changes in diet and all my supplements I am fine now.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 , Tomato juice is worth a try. You can buy it in capsules, but it's a lot more expensive. I'm just waiting for results of some test that my GP ran last week, blood and stool. Maybe " leaky gut " will show up, but I think he's checking for something more sinister than that Danny Re: Chlorella Hi Danny, How about good old tomato juice that covers up most tastes pretty well.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I bought my own capsule maker at www.capsule connection.com its only $13.00 or something close to that. The capsules come in bulk and are not that much either. You would have to figure out if it worth the time making them although it only takes a few minutes once you get the hang of it. Even if your doctor did diagnose leaky gut, they would most likly prescribe some kind of drug, you are better off doing what you are doing. Your healing will come if you stay on track and just keep working at it.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I knew you would say that, I hesitated to offer that suggestion but it does work really good to disquise tastes. IS vegatable juice pasturized too? I eat lots of tomatoes and don't have a problem, would hate to give them up. Pugh wrote: >Please don't use processed, canned tomato juice. Besides being pasturized to kill germs, all the nutrients are gone. Besides And tomatoes are nightshades. Lots of issues there. It would sort-of defeat the purpose of taking chlorella as a nutritional supplement. Put it in olive oil, with apple cider vinegar and herbs for salad dressing. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi , So what do you feel like after eating them? I wonder if I would notice anything at this point since I feel pretty good. The only thing that really bothers me at this point is too much grains, I mostly eat sprouted grains but get tempted to each french bread once in awhile and usually don't feel that great the next morning. SOme things that I used to eat all the time really make me sick now, like MSG, that makes myheart race and I can't sleep if I eat any, I used to eat stuff with that all the time. I think when the body gets healthy and clean it really objects to being poisoned again. Pugh wrote: >Sorry.You can make your own juice and it would disguise the taste of chlorella. It might even enhance it! Not everyone is bothered by tomatoes, but they do have negative charactistics. I can't eat them. I do sometimes and can always feel it. I love the taste of homegrown tomatoes, but I don't love the effects they have on me. I ate tomato sanwiches on white bread, slathered with Hellman's mayonnaise and sprinkled heavily with table salt before I was diagnosed. No wonder I got sick! I had a poor diet in my former life. > > Canned foods are pasturized for longer shelf life. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I just feel weak, not as strong when I stand. I usually don't feel bad the day after I eat SAD food, but I feel it a few days later. I ate our restaurant food for a few lunches last month and I don't have the urge to do that again. The difference is an overall feeling that isn't as good as when I eat raw. " Kindscher (Charter) " wrote: Hi , So what do you feel like after eating them?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 , ON a delayed reaction how can you tell what actually caused it. I would find that hard to know for sure since I could eat something that caused an immediate reaction and think it was the food I had the day before. I guess if your diet is very strict and routine then it would be easy. Mine is pretty routine but not so much lately, I have been eating a variety of foods lately. I certainly can tell the difference when I am away from home and forced to eat a total different diet but I would still not know exactly what was the worst culprit since I am eating so many different things. Its all very hard to figure out sometimes and that is why I like a routine and a simple diet! Pugh wrote: >I just feel weak, not as strong when I stand.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi , I guess if you want to pinpoint these things you have to eat pretty routine. I used to love Pizza and Spaghetti but now I cannot tolerate Pizza at all and Spaghetti is ok as long as I don't eat too much. I can't figure out what the culprit is or the combo of the grains, tomatoes combined. I gave up Pizza but still want spaghetti once in awhile. I guess if I was still really sick I might have to give up a few of the things that I still love. Pugh wrote: >It took me several tries to figure it out. If I eat salad with tomatoes once in a while and I have a bad reaction within a couple of days, I can only suspect the tomatoes are the problem because I eat greens regularly. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Raw food in general is more tolerable than cooked food, some more tolerable than others.
