Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Speaking of cabbage... I was reminded of when I first started eating instinctively (raw), just after I had quit smoking. I found myself eating massive amounts of shredded red cabbage--I loved it to pieces! Couldn't get enough of it. I mostly ate it undressed, but sometimes made a lemon/raw honey mixture for it. I coughed up a whole lot of mucous for at least a month, but soon got back into my 6am 6 mile run routine, with no breathing trouble. Also, I recall that during that phase, I very often ate nothing but lots and lots of grapes for breakfast. I " feel " that grapes have a similar mucous-outing effect, but I know none of the science behind it. Joe, you mentioned a particular enzyme in cabbage...could you refer me to an article or more specifics? Also, do you know if that enzyme would still be present in raw sauerkraut (ie. raw cabbage fermented with sea-salt)? People who find raw cabbage a bit aggressive tend to prefer a raw cabbage sauerkraut.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 You want to get rid of mucous?? <tee hee> Try downing 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon of mascicated fresh raw horse radish root. Can fill up the teaspoon with fresh squeezed lemon jiuce, but nothing else. Take a teaspoon of this morning and evening ...with nothing else, no water, tea, not a single extra thing...and you will find your eyes, ears, nose, mouth and any other possible crack in the head <g> will pour with tears and phlem etc anything up to 15-20 minutes. Don't try to stop it or brush it away too much. Do this daily for a couple of weeks or so <individual dependent> until you can take a spoonful without any effect whatever, and that will rid the body of excess mucuous.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 How long do you go before you can eat anything else? I've been feeling pretty sick lately... I just adopted a 3rd cat and I think my allergies are acting up. I think this might help.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Apparantly, you just do your normal day whilst 'doing' the horse radish routine as it were. Basically your own body tells you you are clear when you no longer find yourself pouring... has to be fresh mashed up root, perhaps that little extra lemon juice and nothing else taken until that bout of clearing stops.....then repeat evenings. rawfood , " rabbit_is_wise_04 " <jennifersmith wrote: > > How long do you go before you can eat anything else?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Unfortunately one very good 'cure' <so I have read> for allergies is cup after cup of very strong black coffee. Supposed to be very helpful in asthma attacks too. Not sure how to get around that one on raw...other than to practise looking innocent...for after the event. rawfood , " rabbit_is_wise_04 " <jennifersmith wrote: > > How long do you go before you can eat anything else?
