Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 That's not a very accurate translation. The prior email said (as I understand the Spanish used): " The problem is that Americans wash their food, we need more earth in our food. Do you understand little gringa?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thank you for the clarifying , It is correct to think this...if this were the prior century. In my opinion dirt/soil is not the same as it was back when. Depleted of nutrients/minerals even organic farming is out of proper ballance to some degree of benificial microbes. Being that most farms are surrounded by in-organic farms and the chemicals and share same water sourses. If it were grown on my own land and I know the source and treatment of the dirt and water sources tested than yes I would whole heartedly agree and eat the dirt. I used to eat right out of my dads garden when I was growing up, He never used any chemicals and the water was better, never had even heard of bottled water. Man that was a good memory:) Catherine - Sandra Pinto de Bader Thursday, March 08, 2007 1:10 PM Re: ] Tips on eating raw in Mexico That's not a very accurate translation.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Catherine: I personally found your remark: " what do they use to wash their veggies down there " a bit insulting (being Mexican myself). The reality is that people use the best water they can or have available to wash their veggies. Not everyone is blessed with clean drinking water. Besides I think that most people that get sick when they go to other countries do so because their are not used to the food and they might not have strong immune systems. I personally don't mind a bit of dirt on my veggies because I believe it can have vitamin B12. That has nothing to do with my being Mexican it's just something I've read and decided not to worry too much about. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Sandra I was not meaning to be insulting in the least , I also remarked about the water up here and the dirt, in general the earth as a whole. It was not intended that you or anyone would take it as a derogatory statement at all, if you know me you would know I am not that way. My opinion and my beliefs are just that mine , they are from my own experiences and knowledge from the many things I have studied and gone through over the years for my own particular health benifit. Divid Wolfe , Gabriel Cousens and Jameth Shariden have all writen about these matters as well as many other well renowned natural health advocates.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I travel to Europe often and I avoid tap water. It's not very clean and may be contaminated with Giardia or other microscopic parasites. I don't drink tap water in US either. I have read that using every day one tablespoon of papaya seeds or probiotic can help a lot while traveling. For me and my family every day a serving of probiotic really helped. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Parasites_and_Foodborne_Illness/index.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Cristina, I have been wondering about the papaya seeds, where did you read about them ? ( I will read your link ) I read something that said they were high in enzymes and could be crushed and eaten and another article that said " not to eat them " that they are hard on the body? toxic ? ... some reason or another , cant remember exactly...but I would think they would have a value just not sure what value or what the truth is yet. enzymes ? anti-parasite? I never had hear of eating avacado seed until last night. CAtherine - Cristina A Friday, March 09, 2007 9:07 AM Re: ] Tips on eating raw in Mexico I travel to Europe often and I avoid tap water.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 One thing to consider re: papaya seeds: Just as we may never see a truly ripe papaya in the Pacific NW, similarly, the seeds will also be far different than those harvested directly from ripe papayas. Having lived in Hawaii for almost 14 years, I won't buy any papayas here. I suggest looking for fresh dried papaya seeds (from ripe papayas) if you have an interest in the medicinal value of the seeds. Of course, the is likely a similar value from the papayas we have here, but it may be worth some online searching for seeds. In Hawaii, papaya seed dressing was popular.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Catherine, About Papaya seeds I have read in David Wolf's book Sunfood Nutrition, the last edition. I blend one spoon of seeds with some papaya pulp. I can't eat them in any other way... The taste it's spicy ... He said they are very good to fight against parasites if traveling in tropical places. I had no allergic reaction to the seeds. Catherine <wildraven wrote: Cristina, I have been wondering about the papaya seeds, where did you read about them ?
