EM use and info for Chris and newbie

[Guest guest]

I've been reading every digest, just haven't had time to post in

quite a while!

In 2004 I researched and found EM when I was trying to find an

economical alternative for the Primal Defense product. So I

searched " soil based organisms " and EM is one thing I found, the

search also led me to kefir (which I bought occasionally) and

Kombucha (which I'd read about years ago).

When I started drinking EM last year, I'd already been making and

drinking Kombucha and Kefir for quite some time, so I didn't notice

any spectacular differences. I think I feel better when I drink it

and if I miss it for a couple of days I think, " that must be what's

wrong. "

Basically you can purchase the mother culture, dilute it and use it

as is or " extend " it by fermentation - not too difficult to do. It

is a pro-biotic and antioxidant.

I have heard of some people starting out taking too much and having

cleansing reactions, I've also heard the same thing about people who

took too much kefir or kombucha or Primal Defense at first. I'd

start slowly and gradually increase intake. (I was the one who

asked about a strange reaction I had to Kombucha tea with my mercury

fillings and metallic taste in my mouth when I first joined this

group.)

I use it (instead of whey) to lacto ferment some foods, juice -

especially organic concord grape - YUM!, or just put a splash (1-2

Tbs.) in a glass of water and add a little sweetener (like you would

make an ACV/honey tonic), as well as deodorizing, cleaning,

composting, etc.

http://www.scdworld.com/ where I purchased the culture and

literature from - some info, instructions, testimonials, etc.

http://emtechnologynetwork.org/ data base for lots of info

http://www.eminfo.info/moreem1.html#How Vinny is a bit wacky, but

is the American expert on EM (I have his book, as well as Dr. Higa's

books)

uses (I personally use about 5-10% EM in fruit juice, set on

counter for a couple of days, swish and burp once in a while, when

fizzy and tastes good, store in refrigerator, drink - I usually

dilute, and enjoy!)

EM rules! I must say though that it did make me sick after I ramped up my

daily dose. Maybe this was the " cleansing " reaction you spoke of. I thought

it was an allergic reaction.
