Dear Deb:

If you're avoiding sushi for health reasons (i.e., risk of parasite

infection) rather than taste reasons, this may interest you. I came across

a healthy, active Japanese man in his seventies who runs a local Japanese

health food - grocery store. He related a story to me about school children

in his home town in Japan who came down sick with some micro-organism that

had proliferated in the school's water supply. The remedy supplied by a

Japanese doctor was to give all the kids wasabe tablets. It worked. The

gentleman told me that if you eat wasabe with your sushi, you need not fear

parasites. This from a guy in his seventies who eats sushi and is 'full of

beans'.

Cheers,

Deb,

Betaine hydrochloride & glutamic acid hydrochloride are both goot HCL

sources available at the HFS. Look for enzymes with protease made from

aspergillus. It will be a better digestive enzyme. In the book Enzyme

Nutrition is is described how the plant & animal enzymes work at the

wrong Ph or temperature, and that the aspergillus enzymes operate at the

Ph & temp in our bodies.

I can almost see you recoil as you type sushi. <G> Most people would say

the same about steak tartare. In my experience it only takes 2-3 tries

to get over initial repugnance with a new food. For exmple, I hate the

texture of raw oysters until I've had a few. Then for the next 8-10

dozen they are almost intoxicating. Besides, with sushi you are getting

trace minerals, oils & other fish goodies au naturel.

I think craving raw meat means my body has switched from metabolism to

catabolism. I think one reason I have always been rail skinny is I waste

for lack of an appetite. I don't think to eat until I'm way past

starving.

Dear Deb,

Meat requires lots of protease (trypsin) from the pancreas, so being a

heavy meat eater means wearing out the pancreas, which has another job,

making insulin.

That is why meat eaters are more prone to diabetes.

Not to worry : Gymnema sylvestre will regenerate the pancreas.

A plant source of HCl is betaine hydrochloride, made from beet roots.

Best of Health!
