Sprouting!

[Non]

hm, i was thinking about the salt thing again. Did you know salad comes from the French word "salade" or "salty"? I thought the word sounded similar to the spanish word "sal" or salt.

From wikipedia:
Salt is associated with salad because vegetables were seasoned with brine or salty oil-and-vinegar dressings during Roman times.

Yesterday's lunch....perfect!!!

Started with AFA blue/green algae, digestive enzymes and a world class soil based B12 supplement (natural).

Then:
two liter container full of chia greens for juicing


Chia grass juice - very potent (tastes kinda like soap) - drank three of these



A chestnut sprout


Chestnut and Walnuts used to make sprouted nut milk - 35 second blend

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Not recommended at all to take any neuro transmitter. Long term Cortisol supplement will burn out the adrenal the same as long term digestive enzyme will burn out the pancreas.

Very interesting. l wonder why Dr Clement and Kulvinsaks haven't spoken about such things. They have done lots of clinical research so you would think they would know. Thanks for the information, l will have to investigate.

Living foods, that refers to New Zealand and what I really want is to see the proposed bill itself rather than an interpretation of it.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

One thing l will need to do is monitor my blood pressure and blood levels closely with the heavy addition of chia grass juice because it can lower blood pressure.

Proper sprouting method with the grooved biosnacky
The biosnacky has a bad design fault so it doesn't drain properly and can cause rot and bacteria build up. So here is the solution (below) if you are having problems. Even if you are not having problems, this is a much better way to sprout in the trays.

Here is the little nib that sit over the draining hole on the biosnacky



Here is the same area with the red nib removed


Notice how l have drilled for really small holes close and around the big draining hole. Now after doing this simple operation, place the red nib back on like normal. The red nib should cover the four drilled holes.

Place biosnacky on angle to drain properly - make sure the red nibs are all lined up under each other and at the lowest point so all the water drains out of them (this runs contrary to the instructions from the biosnacky company, but it works much much better)

All the red nibs are all lined up and at the lowest angle point ready for angle draining


Proper angel draining - all red nibs are lined up underneath each other to the far right of the sprouters


This technique will ensure that the sprouting tray drains properly and no water is left over to rot the seeds.

See the cloudy water in the bottom container? This is bacteria that will rot the sprouts if they aren't drained properly. So if your seeds are rotting, use a high pressure spray to clean the bacteria off them. After cleaning them the water will go clear again.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

The main problem with the jar method
The jar method usually does the job, but it's not always ideal and can cause the sprouts to rot in some climates.

The main problem with the jars is that they cause all the sprouts to be crowded and sit on top of each other. Having bent sprouts is one thing, but the real issue is that sprouts generate lots of heat while growing and the sprouts in jars can overheat. With overheating causes sweat and rot and bad bacteria. On trays the sprouts are spread out more, so overheating occurs much less.

So if sprouts are rotting, do two things:

1). Use a sprouting tray
2). Use a high pressure spray to make sure all the bad bacterial is washed off properly.

lf you still have problems with rot:
3). Wash more often.
4). Use filtered water

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Chia in indirect light outside for 1 day v's chia for 5 days during winter - it gets a very deep rich green colour that is more beautiful than all other sprouts (the camera flash washes out the deep green)



FOOD RATINGS
Chia is classified scientifically as a four star food, where-as the best green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, kale) picked straight from the garden are classified as three star foods and probably even one star foods when bought from farmers markets or shops two weeks after being picked. Flowers are four star foods. Wheatgrass, chlorella, sea vegetables (kelp, dulse, arami, nori, wakame), spirulina, AFA/E3 live blue-green algae, weeds, buckwheat greens, sunflower greens, pea shoot greens are all five star foods. Alfalfa sprouts, broccoli sprouts, fenugreek sprouts, mung bean sprouts are all four star foods. And dehydrated foods and unsprouted nuts are one star foods. Sesame and sunflower sprouts are three star foods, but if the sunflower sprouts are allowed to grow into greens they become five star foods. Surprisingly, some fruits (tropical fruits like pine apple and mangoes) that are picked straight off the tree are also five star foods that will give as much energy as weeds or wheatgrass, BUT...if they are consumed hours after picking, that five star rating will quickly go down to a much lower rating. Many of the fruits from health food shops would barely be one star foods in my opinion because the electrical charge is all gone after three weeks.

So why do sprouted seeds have more sunlight than their mother plants? Because the sunlight is more concentrated over a smaller area of the plant, that's why broccoli sprouts are four star foods and mature broccoli is a three star food. And that why sprouts are more nutritious...because the nutrition from the seed is spread over a smaller area (the baby sprout) when compared with the larger area of the mother plant (that's my opinion). Babies>mothers. Some babies reach their peak nutrition after 4 days and then decline in nutrients per square mm because the seed power is spent, some babies like wheatgrass reach their peak after 7 days and then decline in nutrition.

So why do zero star foods give people energy? Because they force the body to work and get rid of them. lf you eat SAD, many of the the cells in the body lose their light and charge and look all dark. But if you drink wheatgrass, many of the cells show lots of light and electrical charge.

The higher the star rating, the higher sunlight in the food and the higher the bioelectrical electrical charge on the cells of the human body, and the more energy one obtains from the food.

Mystic Tree, look into Senate bill S510. I'm not sure if it's still in place or not (probably is), and I'm also sure that there have been others, some of which may still be in effect, but I'm not going to spend a lot of time looking into it right now.

Neither cortisol or digestive enzymes are neurotransmitters. Cortisol is a very powerful hormone and drug, and taking it when your adrenals are working fine will result in very negative effects; digestive enzymes are different in that you are meant to ingest digestive enzymes with every meal, as raw food (is supposed to) contain(s) lots of it. Food that was picked immaturely and is weeks old will have significantly less enzymes then normal, in which case supplementing with digestive enzymes would be a good idea. Most people also have caused extreme stress to their pancreas by eating cooked food without using digestive enzymes for their entire life, in which case short-term supplementation at the very least would be a good idea. From what I have heard and learned, supplementing with digestive enzymes does no harm whatsoever to the pancreas, for the reason that we normally consume digestive enzymes with every meal.

If you have evidence about the enzymes harming the pancreas, I would be very interested in seeing it - this is not a challenge, it's just that I think it is important enough that if it is true, I definitely want to know about it.

Thanks for the name of the bill. I'll look into it when I have some time.

I am not convinced by the "enzymes-in-raw-food" part of why raw food seems to work so well. It's all stuff to be researched.

[Living Food]

I am not convinced by the "enzymes-in-raw-food" part of why raw food seems to work so well. It's all stuff to be researched.

The enzymes are only one of many factors. However, they are important. Raw food with lots of enzymes goes through a process known as "autolytic digestion" (it starts to break down) after you break down the cell walls through chewing, which causes the enzymes to start breaking down the food (like how the skin of apples turn brown when exposed to air). This process is an important step of digestion, and if the food is deficient in enzymes then not only does the pancreas have to mass-produce enzymes when the food makes it to the small intestine, but said enzymes are also "stolen" from immune cells and all of the other cells in the body, placing tremendous stress on your whole system. Chewing very well helps to mitigate this, but digestive enzymes also must be present in the food. I vaguely recall something about most people having an enlarged pituitary gland by the time they are 50 due to eating enzyme-deficient food, but I'd have to refresh my memory before going more into that.

That is one of the reasons that fasting is so beneficial - it saves massive amounts of energy that is normally spent digesting food, which can instead be used for healing. It is also one of the reasons why juicing is so beneficial.

I know what is said to be the case but I am not convinced.

l'll try and find the exact bill that was put to congress to stop all food being grown by small farms and private households. You will need to give me time to find this.

If you have evidence about the enzymes harming the pancreas, I would be very interested in seeing it - this is not a challenge, it's just that I think it is important enough that if it is true, I definitely want to know about it.

l personally don't believe it at all, but of course l am always open minded about it. l'll do some research, but l would be surprised if Gabriel Cousens is right.

[Raw Angel Mom]

Very interesting. l wonder why Dr Clement and Kulvinsaks haven't spoken about such things. They have done lots of clinical research so you would think they would know. Thanks for the information, l will have to investigate.

You see nothing can be best then observing. Research are cool but you need to know about the details. For instance if they do a research with people that eat SAD food, the result would be different with people that are fruitarian or vegan or different with people that are sproutarian etc....

The cortisol has been researched too and it has been concluded that it was the way to go to supplement for certain case. Sadly, young children have been years on it and up to their teenage year on that and had damaged adrenals/kidney because they got burn out.

This information was shared with dr. Morse who is a chemist whom also was part of researcher. Dr.Clement and dr. Cousens read many research but it doesn't mean that they conduct them themselves. I respect research but i don't necessary take them as an absolute truth. Human body's is far more complicated then they can comprehend. Observing 100 thousands of case of people and seeing the same result, is quite a hint.

Don't get me wrong, i am not against dr. Clement or try to prove him wrong. I was once totally faithful of all of his recommendations but today, i discern now with everyone including dr. Morse but it makes perfect sense to be careful with neuro transmitter. This is the job of our glands to do so and if they aren't functioning right then the good news, it cans be reverse if we do something about it versus making our condition worst with drugs, surgery and chemical.

All the best

You can talk in detail with dr. Morse, i am sure he answer your question. I am not a medical doctor but here is one of the thing that cortisol do. As you can see, it is a way to communicate and exercise a specific function with the body. Dr. Morse categorize it as a neuro transmitter the same as digestive enzyme.

Cortisol, also known more formally as hydrocortisone (INN, USAN, BAN), is a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland.[1] It is released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoids. Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis; suppress the immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.[2] It also decreases bone formation. During pregnancy, increased production of cortisol between weeks 30 and 32 initiates production of fetal lung surfactant to promote maturation of the lungs. Various synthetic forms of cortisol are used to treat a variety of diseases.

As for the enzyme from the Pancreas. I use to think that the purpose was to digest only but it is said to be a neuro transmitter. If you utilize external source to do the job of the pancreas or the job of the adrenal, it cans lead to dramatic result.

I am not a doctor and i cannot discuss in detail about it. I shared this information as something to look at and to consider. I personally resonate with not supplementing with that and i won't recommend others to supplement either, due to the potential risk.

All the best!

l do respect your viewpoint very much because l know you do look into things carefully also. And it's true, Dr Clement doesn't know everything and does get it wrong at times. He has about 20 digestive enzymes a day and far too much algae in my opinion and does a bunch of really full on things (lots of various supplements and sprays up his nose for oxygen therapy etc), so it will be interesting how he goes in the long run.

l have given Dr Morse a good go and have listened to his youtube for many hours, but he does nothing for me. Does he use sweet hybrid fruits in his anti cancer diet, or specific fruits like tomatoes?
