This is an ancient article from a scientific standpoint, 1998 to be precise.

Uncooked, lactobacilli-rich, vegan food and rheumatoid arthritis.

Caution needs to be exercised when eating raw foods, as now there is risk of other disease. Make sure it is cleaned and safe to eat.

We tested the effects of an uncooked vegan diet, rich in lactobacilli, in rheumatoid patients randomized into diet and control groups. The intervention group experienced subjective relief of rheumatic symptoms during intervention. A return to an omnivorous diet aggravated symptoms. Half of the patients experienced adverse effects (nausea, diarrhoea) during the diet and stopped the experiment prematurely. Indicators of rheumatic disease activity did not differ statistically between groups. The positive subjective effect experienced by the patients was not discernible in the more objective measures of disease activity (Health Assessment Questionnaire, duration of morning stiffness, pain at rest and pain on movement). However, a composite index showed a higher number of patients with 3-5 improved disease activity measures in the intervention group. Stepwise regression analysis associated a decrease in the disease activity (measured as change in the Disease Activity Score, DAS) with lactobacilli-rich and chlorophyll-rich drinks, increase in fibre intake, and no need for gold, methotrexate or steroid medication (R2=0.48, P=0.02). The results showed that an uncooked vegan diet, rich in lactobacilli, decreased subjective symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Large amounts of living lactobacilli consumed daily may also have positive effects on objective measures of rheumatoid arthritis.

Just a thought…many vegies are rich in cystine. Cystine intake is an essential part of boosting our GSH or Glutathione. Being very fragile, it is easily destroyed in cooking. Anecdotal evidence suggests it plays a role in pain management. Problem: it is not possible to get enough Cystine when we are in a disease state. It needs supplementation.

Here is an interesting article on an alternative health uses and or complimentary use for
coconut milk.

Faced with a 54 year old female who was refusing a blood transfusion, her count at 4.8 from the chemotherapy, the doctors were throwing their hands in the air.

How would we boost the blood count in a cancer patient with out a blood transfusion.

She was being given EPO, a recumbent form of the human hormone that makes precursor cell wannabes turn into red blood cells. It creates an autohyperfusion so that the patient will not need a transfusion.

Only problem, for EPO to work, it needs the building blocks of blood.

It was suggested to offer the patient who had no appetite what so ever a spoon full of peanut butter (protein) and black strap molasses (rich in absorbable iron) three times a day. The result, a o.3 gram per deciliter increase in her count every day until she got to 8.5 where it would rise no higher.

A rise of O.3 Grams is about 1/3 of a unit of blood. Only thing, it was her blood, her wishes observed, and it worked. Bloodless Medicine provided a blood transfusion avoidance option. A cancer treatment with out blood.

If you have not heard of GSH or Glutathione, they you will. It is the most essential antioxidant in the human body. Rather than being an antioxidant you take, it is one inside each cell. It is responsible for over 25 different processes that protect us from a minor infection to cancer. To learn more check out the GSH Blog.

Imagine dripping Tabasco sauce on your tongue and tasting hot doughnut glaze. Or imagine a glop of lemon sorbet in a glass of Guinness tasting like a chocolate shake.
This was the proclamation of a New York Times article (URL Not included for your protection as it had annoying Popups, MFA and Spam Ads as one of the links.)

Nothing is quite as ulterior as a fruit that makes lemons taste sweet.

A new urban sport has emerged from the use of this fruit. It is called flavor tripping. A party is centered around using the fruit and tasting foods. Admission to the party costs about $15.

Where can you learn more about the Synsepalum dulcificum berry of Gahna?

http://www.miraclefruitman.com/ has them for about $90 including shipping and handling for about 30 berries.

Warning…the article did mention some didn’t like the lingering effects of the berry.
Eat something sweet and it may overdo the sensation.

If you know of the berry, please let others know your thoughts.
