Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Molasses is not only cooked, but a very highly processed food as is maple syrup. Both must be considered enzymatically dead " foods " Graying is caused by the loss of melatonin in your skin/hair follicles. Any Mammal can get a form skin cancer called melanoma from this loss of melatonin. It is very common in Andalusian and Arabian who are born dark and lightening. It is often referred to as the graying gene by horse breeders. Their most common effect at the beginning is marble like lumps under their tails. A horse buyer in these breeds needs to always check the underside of the horses tail. the skin should be smooth, clean and warm. Feels like silk. ANY lumps and the horse should not be bought. BUT while Melatonin in horses can be very present on the outside, it can all be more deadly and invisible on the inside. the same lumps form on the intestines, giving rise to twists, blockages and eventually ranging cancer. Horses fed molasses grain seem to form a higher rate of nodules. Grass fed horses have less then horses fed grain. I have never know anyone to go through he effort to sprout the grain for a horse routinely as they are typically fed half a pound of grain twice a day or more. I do think that DH EA should be of vital importance as a body can not form healthy cell walls without DH EA. Flax seed oil provides a good balance of Omega three and Six. Men however have been warned off of this as for some allegedly triggers a more rapid growth of prostrate cancer cells. (I am not satisfied with the the two studies I read, so I reserve my opinion.) Men are therefore recommended to use cold water cold pressed fish oil. All the studied were done on men who ate cooked food and animals proteins. I think we need a study done with RAW Vegans to have a better understanding of how it interacts with the human body. Now Triptaphan is the precursor for melatonin. Unfortunately, because of contamination of a factory in Asia, it is now a restricted substance by the FDA. SO now we need to get our melatonin or Triptaphan form food products. Turkey has it, but that is out. Cottage cheese and green grapes makes for Triptaphan, but Cottage cheese is not only a animal product, but heated as well during processing. By the way, Triptaphan and melatonin are also what helps our bodies sleep. So what other foods have high levels of Triptaphan? Brazil nuts? I would like to hear more about if Wheat grass has it. I have several friends on it, and one has a lovely head of hair, past her knees in a braid and it is stone white.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hello! Are you sure you don't mean the skin pigment melanin? See, that would make sense, as it protects the skin against solar radiation. What's all this talk of melatonin being deadly, also? I never heard it was anything except good and health-giving. You can increase your melatonin levels with meditation, incidentally. Bananas and sunflower seeds are good for tryptophan too. Let me say something about this 'enzyme' thing. I'm not convinced that enzymes in food have anything to do with why raw foods are good for you. I could be wrong, but let me present this. An enzyme is a molecule that catalyses a specific reaction, just one. So why would the enzymes in say, a tomato, digest the tomato for us, when their 'job' is catalysing the various processes that keep the tomato alive? Now, I suspect that The body may need LESS enzymes to digest raw food, because cooking food distorts the nutrient molecules that it is the enzyme's job to deal with. But that isn't the same as all this 'enzymes are the life force of the food' etc etc. You can't pin life down like that. Obviously enzymes are one of the MANY things that make life possible. But we produce our own very specific enzymes from the amino acids we get from food. We don't directly assimilate and use plant enzymes, because we are a very different organism with different cellular processes. This is quite beside the fact that the vast majority of scientists in the field would tell you that the enzymes in food are broken down in the early stages of digestion anyway! Of course, hooray for raw foods, but maybe not for this reason. I suspect it's pseudo-science, something we can do without if we want raw foodism to have any kind of widespread credibility. Please feel free to present contradictory evidence. I love being wrong, it's an opportunity to learn stuff.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 So Laura I have hair that is silver/grey all over almost. I used to have lovely dark black and turned grey at an early age. Any raw vegan foods to reverse this?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Dear Lane If you havn't reed the books from Ann Wigmor, I would recommend one now. She had gray hair and got her color back in here fiftis. And was bruned untill she died in here 80's. She ate very healthy live food and lots of wheat gras which I higly recommend. It is very easy to grow (the grass I mean ) I my self am detoxing with wheatgrass now, taking enema and inplant.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I will read her books with interest when I can wear my glasses again. In the meanwhile I can't bring myself to consume wheatgrass. Maybe in time.....
