Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yes Kevin, You could live on sprouted or soaked grains, nuts, seeds and Total Nutrition. The TN has Spirulina Blue-Green Algae, Chlorella Broken Algae, Purple Dulse Seaweed, Wheat Grass, Spinach Leaf, Alfalfa Grass, Barley Grass, Astragalus Root. I don't know if you got the Gallstone pic but that guy lived on TN for awhile. That was all he ate or should I say drank. He lost quite a lot of weight doing this and he did it because Doc said " you could live on the stuff" and he was unhappy with the condition of his body. Well now we know its true because he did it. He really lived on Total Nutrition. I would do it your way though... Have a lot of rabbit snacks to graze on during the day like sprouts and veggies . What we really want to do here is grow all our own foods and herbs. It would be nice to have a store where people could buy or trade for 100% Organic locally grown produce, grains and herbs. But even though that would help it would not be enough. We need organic communities that work together, neighbors trading Tomatoes for Potatoes or/and I'll help you with the harvest , you'll help me with the barn raising. Money is a bad way to keep score. We don't really need it and when everyone realizes that, money wont be worth anything. Good food will all ways be worth more. 2008 world wide was the worsts crop since the 1940s and with the population bigger then ever, we are at a food shortage as well as a economic crises. The solution is to grow your own treasures and to build Organic Communities that don't need outside help. We as earthlings need to stop destroying our planet and evolve so there will BE a future and an Earth to live with. Back to your question of how long to soak a grain, this varies according to what grain you are soaking. Refer to a grain soaking chart. Here is one from our All Raw What Can I Eat recipe book that you can get from Organic Solutions. I'm not sure how the format will come through but hopefully it will be understandable. Thank you for your email and have a wonderful day. :-) ~Bryan HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN SPROUTS . . . Three Easy Steps 1. Measuring, Soaking and Draining: Measure seeds into a wide mouth quart jar/sprouting jar and add 2 parts distilled water to 1 part seeds. Screw on a sprouting lid or use a canning jar lid ring (or rubber band) over mesh cloth. Refer to Soaking and Sprouting Chart. Drain soak water through the screen. Soak water from most* seeds is full of valuable nutrients. You can drink it, use it for making soups, teas, and even watering your plants. *Exception: beans = toss water. Alfalfa - 2 Tablespoons Mung Cabbage - 3 Tablespoons Beans - 4 Tablespoons Lentils - 1/4 Cup Wheat Radish - 3 Tablespoons Berries - 1/2 to 1 1/2 Cups 2. Rinsing: Seeds should be rinsed each morning and evening with purified water and more often if possible. To rinse, fill jar with water. Turn the jar upside down to drain the water and place the jar at a 45 degree angle on a dish drainer with the screened lid down. Make sure the seeds do not fall forward and cover the entire screened lid. Seeds should never cover more than half of the jar opening. This will allow proper ventilation and drainage during sprouting. Avoid growing sprouts in direct sunlight. The ideal sprouting temperature is 65 to 75 degrees F. (refer to Rinsing Sprouts on the Tips & Definitions sheet) Seed Hulls: Some sprouts, like Alfalfa, throw off seed hulls as they grow. As sprouts get bigger, you can change to lids with larger holes. Then when you rinse your sprouts, the hulls will wash away. Seed hulls are not harmful but most people prefer removing them to minimize mold problems and ensure the freshest tasting sprouts! 3. Harvesting: When your sprouts have grown to the size you desire, eat and enjoy as many as you like and store the remainder in the refrigerator. They can be kept in a plastic bag for several days. Tips: To freshen stored sprouts, rinse with purified water and drain well. For maximum nutrition and freshness, sprout often and in quantities that you will eat within 2 to 3 days. Revised September, 2004 SOAKING AND SPROUTING CHART Relax! Soaking and sprouting are fun and easy! These times are approximate! This process can vary a lot and you will still have success. These are the guidelines. A good rule is 1 part seeds, nuts, or grains to 2 parts purified water. For beans and rice, use 1 part beans or rice to 3 parts distilled or purified water. Rinse all sprouts at least twice a day and three to four times if possible especially in warmer weather to prevent mold. Keep sprouts out of direct sunlight.

I do not recommend eating raw, sprouted brown rice. Wild rice will split and you will see the white inside of the rice. Wild rice is delicious raw! Rinse it often and watch for mould. If cooking wild rice or brown rice, let it sprout for 1 day after soaking if time permits and then cook. When you have not planned ahead and only have soaking time available, this is OK as well. Note: Do not dry any of the above after sprouting unless 1) you want to dry them and then grind them into a flour or 2) you want to have the crunch back in the seed or nut because you prefer this over the softer texture.

I gues thats expecting too much. But have you thought of that? I guess other wise I'll have to buy all my food from organic solutions. Are you gonna be selling grains and seeds? etc? mayby raisons and fruit? I can live on those. I don't like veggies really. But I have enjoyed algae. According to a famous nutrition expert (I can't remember name) she sells sweet grass, said everything we need nutritionally is in sprouted grains so I figure I could live on the above foods even if the grains are only soaked for 8 hrs?

I'm wondering if you might send me a copy ? I'll spring for postage. Thank you, Smitty Address**** ** ****** ***** 8**** Dear Leslie, The best thing to detox her body would be Doc's Total Body Cleanse. If you go to the cause of her condition you will find that it is her diet. Bread, soft drinks and non organic meat are some main reasons why people get so sick in the USA. The problem with bread is that the grains have not been sprouted so that they are alive and full of enzymes. Breads that are not sprouted have no nutrition and plug up the bowels making people fat and full of shit. LOL. She needs to learn more about enzyme inhibitors and good nutrition. If you give me an address I'll send Doc's free CD Lecture to her to educate you guys. :-) Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.
