Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 > > Hi All, > I just read the files that talk about the health benefits of lemons and limes. In this particular file it said to use organic lemons or limes only. I cannot get any organic lemons or limes where I live. Should I not be using the non-organic ones due to irradiation? ==>No, you shouldn't use non-organic " if " they are irradiated. You are better off to go without having them at all.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 How does one tell if lemons or limes have been irradiated? I can't always get organic when my lemon tree is in between crops. Thanks. Machelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't > always get organic when my lemon tree is in between crops. Thanks. Hi Machelle, I also find it difficult to find organic lemons in particular. I actually called the headquarters of both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods to ask if their non-organic lemons have been irradiated or not. They both said that none of their products are irradiated. Whole Foods seem to back this statement up on their website (see below) and I'm waiting for an email confirmation from Trader Joe's. Below are also some quotes I found about why we need to avoid irradiated foods. Hope this helps. " irradiation destroys essential vitamins and nutrients, creates unique radiolytic chemical compounds never before consumed by humans, and generates carcinogenic byproducts such as formaldehyde and benzene. " Read more: http://catheolson.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html Whole Foods Market and Irradiation? We believe produce and meat products can and should be packaged, transported and stored to retain maximum nutritional value without the use of irradiation. What can you do?? Take action by urging your Senators and Representatives to support prominent labeling on irradiated foods.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thank you, Bee and , for the info on irradiated lemons and limes. I also shop at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, and I appreciate your input. It's getting more and more difficult to find decent, unadulterated food these days. You really must stay on top of your game to make sure you are getting foods as close to the way they are in nature (unless you can grow your own of course). Every time I turn around, I find they're zapping or spraying something else. And the amazing thing is that the majority of humans are completely oblivious and brainwashed about diet/nutrition(health, prescription drugs, the FDA, etc). I have definately gotten an education since I joined this group, and I have been studying health, nutrition, and alternative therapies for 7 years now in my efforts to get well. Everyone I know thinks I'm a complete nutcase when I talk about following Bee's program, but I'm accepting the fact that I'm a misfit, maverick and outcast in my world (MMO for short)! The right path is a narrow one, and few will find it. Thanks, Bee for helping me find it. You are a true gem! P.S. I have just completed 7 months on your program. Onward and upward! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 You can have small amounts in something like bone broths, or in mayonnaise without much problem. If they were eliminated from this program candida sufferers wouldn't have any acidic medium to use. Thanks, Bee. I guess I will give them a try and see what happens. From: Bee <beeisbuzzing2003@...> Subject: [ ] Re: lemons/limes Date: Friday, November 19, 2010, 8:28 AM  > > Are lemons and limes a " treat " and better off avoided or eaten rarely, or should they be integrated into the diet in small amounts? > +++Hi , They aren't considered a treat, however because they contain fructose many people starting on this program cannot tolerate them for some time. So that's why I caution you about having them in my candida article, and also why the Electrolyte Drink is optional.
