B6

June 4th, 2007

No one knows anything about [tag]B6[/tag] and its reaction to heat? B6’ssupposed lack of resistance to heat is a primary reason for eating rawanimal foods, according to NT. Just thought I’d try again.

Tendonitus

June 3rd, 2007

I went to the surgeon today to see what I needed to do after thestitches were removed on Monday. Well I can’t use my thumb for another26 days (that is when I see him again) and possibly a lot longer. Alsohe diagnosed me with tendonitis of my hands and that explains some ofthe problems I have had with my hands. It appears I have it in my hands,my left shoulder and right elbow. So now I have to learn what it is andwhat I can do myself without taking any drugs. I really would like someinput from any of you.

Atkins & nourishing traditions???

June 3rd, 2007

Has anyone done a half way decent job of combining some of the ideasof Atkins and of NT? I am wanting to [tag]lose weight[/tag] but not eat lots ofsoy or weird candy.I have both these books and really love the Nourising T. book–butthink probably i need to do something radical to lose weight–maybecombine both? Anyone have tips how to do that?

Looking for liver information

June 3rd, 2007

Has anyone come across a comparison chart of the nutrients fromdifferent livers (ie beef, lamb, chicken etc.)?

Since the liver question comes up regularly I think it would beuseful if we had a file on liver and a collection of recipes fromthe old posts. I’m putting it together from the archives but wouldlike to include some more information on the nutritional aspects.

Also can anyone point me in the direction of where the value ofeating “raw” liver comes from? I use it all the time but my reasonsare ancedotal from other reader’s success (plus my own success). Theonly real references I could find for eating [tag]raw liver[/tag] are from thePottenger tonic in NT and Gerson’s use of it to treat pancreaticcancer patients (which I think he got from Pottenger). Plus I thinksomeone mentioned American Indians eating it right after a kill.

Add and adhd

June 2nd, 2007

Has anyone had any personal experience with a child who has learningproblems? Have they been helped through [tag]NT[/tag] diet or other means. I amthinking of tutoring a high school student who has severeconcentration difficulties and terrible handwriting skills. I figureI can give him a healthy snack. His mother might be open to dietsuggestions.

June 2nd, 2007

I am on a [tag]low oxalate diet[/tag] and I can eat apples when they arepeeled. The oxalate is high in the peel from what I was told. Are yousaying that I can cooked them with peel and this will make them lowoxalate?

Gluten-free baking

June 2nd, 2007

I am gathering some recipes for some simple gluten-free baking. Likechocolate chip cookies, pancakes, easy breads…. Nothing fancy orusing a lot of ingredients. I have done some research to find out howto substitute the gluten-free flours for white flour but I am findinga lot of the recipes have dry milk! I have been unable to find how tosubstitute real dairy for powdered milk. Can someone help with that?

Slight fever?

June 1st, 2007

Those of you who drink kombucha: Has it ever given you a slight fever?I’ve been uncommonly warm since I started drinking it. I’m alwayswilling to consider a coincidence, and I’m not worried by it, I’m justwondering if it’s giving me an immune reaction.

Lactofermented red tomatoes

May 31st, 2007

I just tried lactofermenting some cherry tomatoes - following the same basicguidelines for [tag]kimchi[/tag] or sourkraut - adding salt & whey, then sit oncountertop for a few days. But it has a white film on the top. I don’tknow if I’d have noticed the white stuff, but it’s easy to see due to thecolor of the tomatoes. Is this normal?
