    Antibiotics, yes, but what about the natural ones, like garlic (as you mentioned), hot peppers, mustard (raw, seed) or horseradish, ginger etc? What we should do if we already have some bacterial viral or fungal infection and simply our immune system cannot handle it without natural antibiotics? Also let us know what is your opinion on sprouted legumes? As you pressure-cook them and many experts says it not good in raw as they are indigestible and high in lectins. Spices can also be too hard for microbiome. Do not washing products - I really dont know, if they are organic even, can they contain parasite eggs? Thank you for your answer in advance. P.s. Fermented foods - what if someone has bloating and other issues of those? Are they still good for therm?

    In situations where you purposely subject yourself to bacteria in hopes of increasing your microbe diversity, I would think that using a prebiotic would be a great thing. This will help feed the good bacteria, not the bad so it will increase the chances of the good bac flourishing better than the others.

    Trying hard to get used to those green smoothies but gosh darn, the taste gets a little getting used to! Had a beet, apple, carrot and cinnamon smoothie from the Kuvings cookbook (couldn’t include the ginger, I’ve had a reaction in the past) and was tempted to put a Mr. Yuk sticky by it. LOL! With this said, still experimenting.

I’m inclined to think it’s more the apple than the greens or beets I don’t care for in blender recipes. Substituting the apple for another fruit or date may help.

    How do you feel about the fact that most, if not all, leafy greens are man-made hybrid plants that you will never see in the wild? Are they really meant to be eaten? Fruits are meant to be eaten because mother nature wants us to spread the seeds. The reason I even ask this question is because I did some research after having issues with eating greens for years. I finally just gave up eating them. And now I've discovered that they are man-made from thousands of years of cross breeding done by man. These plants would have never existed if it wasn't for human interference.

    • @okraw
      @okraw  Před 2 lety +4

      ...and modern fruits are not man-made either? the fact of the mater is most plant life has been changed from its original form. To me this is not the main factor on why it is good or bad. I think a diet that doesn't have any greens is not healthy, personally.

      I believe as long as humans cross-breed naturally, without genetic modification, which is possible to happen in nature, although through much longer periods of time, that that foods are ok...
      even genetic modification that doesn't involve using animal genes on plants, I believe is not that problematic...but those are just my opinions... =)

      pasteurized kraut no longer contains probiotics. Get one that says "raw" from a health food store. Avoid the bubbies brand at the health food store, its pasteurized.
