wheat berries but believe the gluten may be bothering me or I may be

allergic to it as I'm itching so much after drinking it for nearly

two weeks now. So I've stopped making it. I ran out of wheat berries

anyway & haven't been feeling well enough to drive to the store,

which is always a problem for me as it's so far away.

==>Caroline, to understand the causes of your itching please read the

new file I posted last week " Itching, Causes & Treatments " . Itching

is the body's healing reaction just like most other reactions.

to try cabbage rejuvelac but have to read the files for the recipe.

Just curious what you're making yours with.

==>Cabbage rejuvelac is very simple to make - Here's the recipe for

you:

Cabbage is a vegetable that is teeming with lactobacteria. No

starter is needed for making this rejuvelac.

& #61599; Start one morning by blending together 1 3/4 cups distilled or

purified water plus 3 cups of coarsely chopped, loosely packed fresh

cabbage. Start the blender at low speed and then advance the blender

to high speed and blend for 30 more seconds.

& #61599; Pour into a jar (a quart jar is excellent to use), cover tightly

(ensure there is at least 1 inch of space above the mixture), and let

it stand at room temperature for 3 days.

& #61599; After 3 days strain off the liquid rejuvelac and discard the

cabbage. The initial batch of cabbage rejuvelac takes 3 days to

mature, but succeeding batches take 24 hours each.

& #61599; Each morning after straining off the fresh rejuvelac, blend

together 1 1/2 cups of distilled or purified water plus 3 cups of

coarsely ground, loosely packed fresh cabbage, for 30 seconds at high

speed.

& #61599; Pour it into a jar and add 1/4 cup of the fresh rejuvelac just

strained off, cover, shake, and let it stand at room temperature

until the next morning.

Making Cabbage Rejuvelac without a Blender:

Cabbage rejuvelac can also be made without using a blender.

& #61599; Chop up 2-1/2 cups of cabbage very fine (replacing the 3 cups in

the recipe above), with the same amount of water (1-3/4 cups).

Good quality rejuvelac tastes similar to a cross between carbonated

water and the whey obtained when making yogurt. Bad quality

rejuvelac has a much more putrid odour and taste and should not be

consumed.

Avoid using tap water because chlorine will interfere with the

production of the bacteria. Boiling tap water for 30 minutes

uncovered will remove chlorine.

Refrigerate rejuvelac if it is to be kept overnight. Discard any

rejuvelac on hand 24 hours after it is poured off the cabbage.

How to Take Rejuvelac

Drink each day's rejuvelac during the course of the day by taking 1/2

cup three times per day, preferably with meals.

To implant a healthy population of lactobacteria in the intestinal

tract take rejuvelac for 1 to 3 months.
