Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi Alan, You might want to buy a couple of the " Easy Sprout " sprouters from the site. I just bought some (after using jars, baskets, etc. for years), and they work real well. The thing that I like about these particular sprouters, is that they get good ventilation, and they require hardly any work to grow sprouts - just rinsing them twice a day. I'd also suggest a mix of seeds from these people - French or Russian Blend. They are less problematic than just the alfalfa sprouts. After you get your feet wet, so to speak, with sprouting, and want to move on to wheatgrass, you might want to try their tray sets with " baby blanket " (requires no soil). I am in no way associated with these people, but have tried these items and think they work well. Good luck, with your new venture. I hope you enjoy growing your own sprouts and eating them fresh from your own home, as I am doing. Jack > > Hi All, > > I haven't yet begun sprouting.

Any suggestions on the type of sprouter and the best > seeds to start with? > > TIA > > Alan from New Jersey The Easy Sprout sprouter was good advice. I have 10 of them. I've also used every sprouter out there. For a jar type sprouter, the Easy Sprout is the best. I've used baby blanket and find it useless. I bought yards of it at the time and can't think what to do with it now. If someone has used it with success please tell me your method. Now all my sprouts are made without a medium. I finally figured out how to prevent mold and root rot. If you want to make sprouts that are best grown in trays as are: wheatgrass, alfalfa, sunflower greens, broccoli, cress, radish, your own homemade sprouter could be the best. The key is to use a fine mist of water over them 3+ times/day. I made an automatic sprouter with brass and stainless steel nozzles because I need sprouts on a large scale. (My cow eats 10# of oatgrass/day.) But you can simulate this type of sprouter and make sprouts on a small scale using a one gallon pump sprayer from your local hardware store. If you are handy and are interested in something you can make yourself better than what is out there, I'll give you more details.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi Marilyn, I was reading your reply to Alan.. about the easysprouters..etc. and noticed you said you finally figured out how to control the mold. Would you share your info and how you do that? We've tried a jar for sprouts and the no medium method for wheatgrass... but always get the mold... any help will be appreciated. cindy > > I would eventually > > like to grow wheatgrass since that seems to be the most potent stuff > > for health and healing. > > > > I don't have a wheatgrass juicer yet so I'd want to begin with > > growing sprouts, and then wheatgrass later on this year.

We've tried a > jar for sprouts and the no medium method for wheatgrass... but > always get the mold... any help will be appreciated. > > cindy As pointed out in the last post to Alan, you need a fine mist as is provided by brass and stainless steel nozzles. This will give the roots the oxygen they need. What are you growing in a jar that makes mold?? Some seeds are naturally moldy, garbanzos for example like to get slimy/moldy before they sprout well. Some seeds are not meant for the jar method. Wheat berries come with mold. Growing wheat to the grass stage has been quite a challenge. If you use a pump sprayer, put 4 oz. of 3% hydrogen peroxide per one gallon water. Growing wheatgrass without mold will take practice. I've been practicing for years. Start with good seed. You need just the right amount of misting to grow grass without a medium. A sure thing is NFT. NFT will eliminate all the problems that come with misters. For inspiration see: http://www.cropking.com/forage.shtml When I build my NFT system it is going to be big. In the meanwhile I am buying more nozzles, etc. and using the system I am familiar with to get by. I switched to oatgrass for my cow because it does not have the mold issues that wheat has even though it grows for several more days, 10 days as opposed to 7 or 8.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Question for those long time users........I have read that the long term use of Naltrexone can lead to desensitizing of the endorphin receptors. So that LDN does not have the same effect on the body 6 months, 1 yr, or 2 yrs later that it did in the first month? Can any of the long term users tell me if this is true for them? Do you still notice the same effects (ie increased energy, lower symptoms, etc) 1-2 yrs later? Also, has anyone read or heard of any long term consequences (taking LDN long term..ie 20-30 yrs) from taking LDN? Have there been any studies?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 This is more likely due to LDN building up in the tissues according to Dr Ian Zagon, the scientist who discovered the opiate receptor and has 30 years of research publications in peer reviewed journals, in his interview on Boyle Bradley's LDN Blog Talk Radio. LDN has a biphasic half life within the first 24 hours it is 10 hours but after that it is 96 hours. There is some evidence that it can build up in tissues. Some people find that if they go to every other or every third day dosing it starts to work again. This is not a desensitization of the receptor. Lots of people have taken it for many years for MS and other conditions and it continues to prevent progression of their symptoms.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I don't know whether that would apply more to full dose naltrexone or LDN too but I've been using LDN for 5.5 years now and it seems to still be working. jwarden77 wrote: Question for those long time users........I have read that the long term use of Naltrexone can lead to desensitizing of the endorphin receptors.
