Re: Yes. Olive oil must be extra virgin; olives fight candida.

Dear Robin,

>>>>>There's a nice unfiltered, unheated, UNPRESSED olive oil I get

from http://www.livingtreecommunity.com/products.asp?cat=specials

====>I checked this out. It doesn't say it is " extra virgin " olive

oil. Extra virgin is made from the first pressing of the olives, and

the other " non-virgin " oils are made from subsequent pressings and

are not recommended.

>>>>And here's a nice site that confirms the role of olive oil in

treating Candida: http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/apr25/articles25.htm

===>I read this article and it confirms the " fungistatic action of

oleic acid " which is in olive oil. Thanks.

The best,

Bee

Further to my previous post to you. Coconut oil is a very stable oil

that can stand higher heat without deteriorating than any other oils.

And it does not easily become rancid, like other oils. It is kept in

the cupboard, not the fridge, and studies have shown it does not go

rancid even up to 2 years.

It is the easiest fat to cook with. The brand I get is " Omega

Nutrition " but there are other very good brands that are properly

processed.

Caprylic acid is processed, and derived from coconuts. I don't

recommend it because there are better antifungals and some people do

not do well on it. Coconut oil itself is a good antifungal along

with garlic, oregano oil, olive leaf extract, nystatin, etc. -

detailed in my article.

Hi Bee, I had to smile when I thought that for a second anyone would doubt

for a second that any food that came from Berkeley California would not be

the most excruciatingly politically correct product possible. " Raw food " is

a religion there as ChefSuz probably knows..

Anyway, I read the label on the bottle. Among other things it says this

Living Trees Olive Oil is:

" created at room temperature below 70 degrees. This oil is extra virgin,

truly raw and cold pressed. It is extracted by a state of the art process

using a centrifuge decanter. (Conventionally olive are crushed under 250

tons of pressure and this generates considerable heat.) "

It also says " Never refrigerate our olive oil. " and

" Olive Oil is a Fruit Juice Too! "

(The only thing it neglects to say on the bottle is that no animals were

harmed in the process or ...)

How was the farm, Bee?

Ps. FYI Here again is the link to the olive oil I mentioned if anyone's

interested.. http://www.livingtreecommunity.com/products.asp?cat=specials

Dear Robin,

Whew, about the olive oil you buy.

>>>>>I had to smile when I thought that for a second anyone would

doubt for a second that any food that came from Berkeley California

would not be the most excruciatingly politically correct product

possible. " Raw food " is a religion there as ChefSuz probably knows..

====>lol. Of course I wouldn't know that I'm originally from

Wisconsin, the dairy state, and have never even visited California.

It's good to know that some places are " politically correct. " Wow.

===>Question, so they say don't refrigerate it. It must be something

about the processing that makes it not go rancid eh? Does it need to

be used within a certain amount of time?

===>My visit to the farm was totally awesome. I actually ate butter,

cream and cottage cheese made from raw milk. It blew me away. The

butter was so yellow and the cream was so thick we had to keep

stirring it with a big spoon.

I also ate the most wonderful food. We had bison prime rib that was

out of this world. We ate lamb kebabs and homemade ginger and garlic

sausage. The home grown corn alone melted in your mouth. Yummy.

Then Kathy and , who own the farm, took us on a 2 hour hay

ride to see their animals and land. They grow a different chickens

for roasting and for laying eggs. When we drove up to the pen they

all came over to greet us. Kathy says they are looking for treats

from . lol. I called out hey Mable, hey Matilda! They have

about 800 chickens in total.

The sheep were wonderful. They have white and black.

demonstrated how he and his dog can make the sheep move in unison.

It was thrilling.

We also saw the cows. Dexter cows are so beautiful. They are

smaller boned, and says the smaller the bone the more

nutrients. He also said the longer you grow something the more dense

the nutrients. He grows his cows for 2 years before butchering them.

And the people. Well they are the best. You felt spiritually

uplifted just being around them. There were about 35 guests. Some

pulled trailers and campers and stayed overnight Friday. I think

next year I might do that. Driving 600 kms. there and back in one

day wiped me out.

I was able to buy the book " Nourishing Traditions " from Kathy. I'm

so thrilled with it. Also I bought homemade egg soap, bison

hamburger, garlic sausages, pork liver, etc. My little freezer is

loaded with goodies. Kathy says they will have roast chickens the

end of July and maybe some eggs. Kathy said they sold so many to the

neighbors and she used up the rest for our meal.

All in all the trip was so fantastic. I asked if they took in

boarders. lol.

The best,

Bee
