young coconut water kefir made by

using the Body Ecology Kefir culture.

I just recently started using the kefir grains and kefiring other things

besides the young coconut water. If you are not using kefir grains and are

interested in trying the coconut water kefir you might check out Donna's

site. It tells and shows you how to make the YCK (young coconut kefir).

, this is the site that is very active with beginners on the BED

beginnerBEDROK/

but a lot of them use the Body Ecology Keifr and Body Ecology culture

starter for vegetables. Personally, I do not like the taste of my cultured

veggies using the starter. I much rather use sea salt. I added enough

gallons of cultured veggies using the started to my compost pile before I

gave up. It is suppose to have many different enzymes that would not be in

the cultured veggies using sea salt but if I cannot stand to eat it, it is

of no use to me. There are some on the list who use the grains to kefir

their milk and water grains to kefir their coconut water. Most on that list

have children with autism and they are working on using the Body Ecology

Diet to heal their child/ren's gut.

Here is the recipe that I use for sauerkraut

Put shredded cabbage in bowl. Mix in 2 teaspoons salt for each pound of

cabbage. Compress by tamping with wooden block until juices appear (salt is

working). Pack tightly into jar. If necessary, add enough water only to

cover cabbage.

Obtain plastic bags. Put 3 bags together -- one into the other. Bags should

be large enough to seal the crock that is being used. Fill the inner bag

with sea salted water for weight.

Sauerkraut is a powerhouse of superior lactic acid, enzymes and other

important nutrients necessary for good nutrition.

, have you checked the list's files? I notice that there is another

group that is suggested for fermented vegetables.

Have your read Snador Katz' book WILD FERMENTATION? or Sally Fallon " s book

with Enig, NOURISHING TRADITIONS?

They also have lots of recipes and information on fermenting foods.

I have been using both milk kefir and water kefir for quite some time

instead of the " sinkers " I always had!

Hi ,

I am a survivor of colo-rectal cancer (4 years after my docs told me I would

be dead!) I got a good laugh at your cute comment. But all silliness aside, I am

curious about the relation of " floaters " or " sinkers " to a healthy colon.

I use a really great colon detox product that contains probiotics. It is

credited by my docs for preventing the cancer from advancing further into my

colon and into my lymphatic system. I am familiar with Kefir, but didn't know it

had so much probiotic bacteria.

My stools have never really gotten back to normal (they are thin, but not as

much as when I had the cancer). But my physical body is all back to normal and

that is enough for me. If you could explain the floaters vs. sinkers for me

though, I'm interested and with good reason. Thanks for the very important info

and for a good laugh too!

Blessings,
