Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I believe he was referring to the idea that B-12 is naturally occurring and is found on wild unwashed produce. B-12 is produced by bacteria, which is found on wild, unsprayed, unwashed produce (as well as in our intestines.) In an ideal situation (and perhaps not-so-ideal) our intestines should produce a sufficient amount for us. However, when we eat too much, eat too frequently, eat too many foods combined, or eat too many nuts and seeds (perhaps salt too), our intestine's (bacteria's) ability to produce the B-12 may be inhibited. When we eat closer to our natural diet (mono plant-based meals when hungry, till content) we shouldn't have any deficiencies (in theory). Most of us are not eating " perfectly " and are not eating wild, organic foods (and eating mono...) Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 when your eating juniper berries n hore hound greens that are growing on a cliff face over looking the grand canyon... you get a little bit more nutrition than something that is picked, washed, refrigirated, plastic wrapped, stored under artificial lighting, and then whacked in our fridge at home... this food is still great but i feel that if people have b12 issues its great if they can get back to nature a bit more and forage. its the best and cheapest way to optimise health. catching falling mangoes or listening for dropping durians or eating seaweed underwater or watching a leaf blow in the wind before you eat it... thats nutrition!!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Can someone please refer me to an article/book that talks about B-12 on wild plants? Also, does anyone use a favorite book for foraging in the Pacific Northwest? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 books are great and nora lenz from rawschool.com has a great personal one. i just walk around and eat what i find. this morning it was figs and malva leaves. apples are a massive b12 booster. well actually any fruit or green you pick yourself is! lol! money doesnt grow on trees, but the best food for humans does. during summer where i live, all i have to buy is celery and water. the rest i can forage for. bill gates cant afford the quality you get when you pick it yourself. so you can be with no money and eat better food than the 'richest' person on earth. think about that next time your whining to yourself about the price of foods...RawSeattle , Susan <oceanfest_2000 wrote: > > Can someone please refer me to an article/book that > talks about B-12 on wild plants?

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 There are two on Amazon and they are $59.99 and $64. A little out of my price range. Does anyone do any walk about classes in the area?

He might have copies to sell you directly at a more reasonable price. http://www.arthurleej.com/ > Does anyone do any walk about classes in the area? Arthur does, but they tend to be oriented more on trees. In the spring he might be talked into doing an edibles one. Certainly he's far and away the most knowledgeable person right in Seattle I've encountered for what's edible / tasty - and a neat guy too. Michael Pilarski sometimes does things in our area -- IIRC he lives over around Goldendale. The WSU extension him out for a program in North Bend a handful of years ago where he discussed permaculture and wildcrafting, followed by a walk about a beautiful property nearby. > > Shari > - > Anthony D'Atri > RawSeattle > Wednesday, October 18, 2006 10:19 AM > Re: [RawSeattle] Re: b12 magic pill? wild fruit and greens? > > > >> Also, does anyone >> use a favorite book for foraging in the Pacific >> Northwest?
