Super foods/healing foods

[Guest guest]

Duncan, thanks for the feedback..I've only been involved/interested

in sea vegetables for a couple years so I welcome all info I can

get. Oddly enough I thought the dried form (of sea veggies) would

contain less of a nutrient profile than an extract (which is what the

Limu is). It's my understanding that an " extract " allows the

nutrients to be more easily assimilated when digested. I also just

read that the molecular weight of compounds in an extract is more

bioavialable and concentrated for better therapeutic effect. Do you

think that's true?

I do know that the limu plant is harvested quickly without long

storage intervals and that the processing does not use excessive

heat..I believe it undergoes some sort of " cold press " ?? I'm not

sure about that though. Limu is a liquid suspension & contains

fucans and fucoidan. Fucoidan is excellent for digestion and bowel

function, but has has numerous other benefits. It's anti-viral

properties, it's ability to enhance (actually modulate) immune

function and also it has been shown to increase the producton of

certain types of interleukins and interferons. And that's just tip

of the iceberg...to read more you can go to the National Library of

Medicine online here.... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/ or to

this company site http://www.limu4u.deiteam.com click on product

then on the left side you'll see information to choose from.. The

fucoidan stuff is really fasinating.

Again, thanks for the input...

Hi Cheryl;

 

I'm still reading up on fuocidan. At first glance it appears to be very

similar in construct and function to aloe vera, which also contains

mannose chains, speeds healing, modulates immune function etc.

 

For example, fuocidan prevents the adhesion of heliobacter pylori to the

stomach wall.... I have been recommending cranberry juice to people with

bladder infections, also for the mannose, which prevents the adhesion of

bacteria to the bladder wall.

 

It would seem that we can possibly group these and select from the group

for specific function.

 

Coconut oil on the other hand, rather than preventing bacterial adhesion,

breaks down the lipid coating in the bacterial and viral cell walls,

hence it's a direct kill. It contains about 8% caprylic and 7% capric

acid in addition to 50% lauric acid, all broad-spectrum antimicrobials.

 

An extract is more thoroughly 'chewed' than chewing, so of course that

could make the contents of whatever you ran through the extractor more

available to gastric juices and the bowel lumen.

I can't see how juicing or cold-pressing will change the molecular weight

of the contents. If heat is not used you could call it cold-pressed or

cold-extraction. The term extract can also apply to water or solvent

extraction.
