[...] Sally Fallon recommends that you don’t worry too much about mercury if you have healthy intestinal flora as it blocks the absorption of mercury. I think this is a great reminder of how important it is to consume probiotic foods. But I personally still don’t eat high mercury fish, because I don’t trust that my flora is good enough right now to deal with high amounts of mercury. [...]

Jason
All I’m going to say is that those doctors terrified me too about eating any animail food that wasn’t completely cooked through. I suffered big time because the only foods i wanted were soft eggs and rare (really rare) steak! By four months I thought Stuff it, I’m following my insticts and I started feeling great! Up until 4 month i had serious bleeding, this stopped after I introduced rare animal foods.
ALways buy organic, free range and in NT they say to soak meat in lemon juice, live vinegar or whey to be sure there’s no risk of parasites or freeze meat 14 days, read the raw meat introduction in NT.
Your wife’s better to avoid those doc’s and find a good midwife. Sorry, just remembered how much grief they caused me!
All the best.

Linda M. & Julie,
Chia seed gel makes a great egg replacer (for when you’ve run out, or haven’t got enough) for baking. Doesn’t the soaking render the seeds phytates neutralised?
Kombucha is more an ‘energiser’ than a hydrator, but it is a diuretic, which means it takes out water via the kidneys. You need to drink more water.

Slow cookers don’t put electricity into the actual food. The electricity is used to heat the element which heats the food. The food is cooked at a low temperature. The only downside of slow cookers for some people is that they can cause the natural MSG in certain foods to be released (hence why slow cooked food is so tasty!) so some people with MSG sensitivity have had mild reactions to slow-cooked food.

Hello I have 2 questions: First, since chia seeds have a high phytate content, do they need to be soaked or sprouted before they are eaten? Also when soaked chia are mucilogenous and it is recommended that one drinks this as it is high in fibre. However due to the high phytate content wouldn’t the ’soaking water’ be toxic?
Second, can one substitute kombucha for water as a hydrator? Linda

I am awre that microwavs release negatives waves, which then compromise the nutritional value of food and even leaves food devoid of any nurients. I am also wondering if slow cookers can slo affect foos in this way too or are slow cokers safe to se. I am just concerned that it does rely on electricity do not on the usual methods of cooking.
