Raw egg white - mercola article

[Guest guest]

Hello Bee,

I've just found Mercola's latest article on raw egg whites...

http://www.mercola.com/2005/feb/9/raw_eggs.htm he states that egg

whites do increase loss of biotin as there isn't enough biotin in a raw

yoke to compensate.

I tend to agree with this stance as over the last couple of days whilst

experimenting with the raw eggs I have found them very yummy but I have

had numbness and tingling in my hands, fingers and toes. I have changed

nothing else in the last two days and these are new symptoms that are

also associated with biotin deficiency.

I think I will stick to raw yokes and cooked whites or soft

boiled/poached eggs.

Thanks,

Amy

The hand tingling is most likely a healing reaction.

I get healing reactions also with the egg drink, and

then I feel much better after a day or two.. better

than before having the drink.

It is a lot easier to act ourselves into new thinking than to think ourselves

into a new action.

Another interesting point - I found this while researching this issue

further on the Mercola site:

" Fresh raw egg yolk tastes like vanilla and is best combined with your

vegetable pulp. You can also combine it with avocado. Only stir it gently

with a fork, because egg protein easily gets damaged on a molecular level,

even by mixing/blending. "

This makes me wonder about blending up Bee's raw egg drink. Bee, what do

you think?

Here's where I found it:

This article lists how to tell if your egg is safe to consume raw.

Hi Debby,

Thanks for replying.

It is a great coincidence that biotin deficiency symptoms are

tingling of the hands and feet and this is exactly what I started to

experience after having the egg drinks. There is a lot of literature

stating that raw egg whites can lead to biotin deficiency, including

Mercola's website.

Sorry I'm still not convinced on raw egg whites!! But I will have

undercooked/raw yokes as much as possible and cook my whites.

==>That is not Dr. Mercola's latest article about raw eggs - it is

dated February 2005.

whilst experimenting with the raw eggs I have found them very yummy

but I have had numbness and tingling in my hands, fingers and toes. I

have changed nothing else in the last two days and these are new

symptoms that are also associated with biotin deficiency.

==>You would also be taking B complex which contains Biotin so you

are getting plenty to offset any problems caused by egg whites. For

long periods of time I've had 8 raw eggs per day and didn't

experience any numbness and tingling. But certainly if you are

concerned eat 2 whole raw eggs and the rest only use the yolks.

==>You can also use cooked egg whites in the egg drink.

==>That article was written Nov. 13, 2002 so it may be outdated, but

also I do not agree with everything Dr. Mercola writes, although most

of his information is excellent. Beaten eggs have been used in foods

for eons, even by our ancestors, and I do not believe beating,

whipping or blending eggs could cause any damage. If that were true

I'm sure Sally Fallon would have cautioned us in her

cookbook " Nourishing Traditions " but instead she instructs you to

beat eggs in her scrambled egg recipe. I almost lived off the raw

egg drink over 2 years ago when I was so stressed and got candida the

2nd time. If the eggs were damaged my health would not have improved.

No worries, I understand you are skeptical. Keep

in mind also that eggs contain a lot of sulpher, and

sulpher is beneficial to killing candida.
