Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Greetings! B-12 is naturally produced in the intestines due to bacterial activity. It is important to have a clean and healthy through holistic detoxification programs and a well-balanced diet inclusive of many raw and living foods. Long-time raw foodists who eat a well-balanced diet are not b-12 deficient. Our 40-year young community of 3,000 vegans (no dairy, no eggs, no preservatives, no processed foods) who live in Israel have been able to avoid b-12 deficiency with improvements in diet. (We and our children get medically tested at random.) In addition, it has been scientifically proven that b-12 is found in bananas, sea vegetables, and brewers yeast. Eating a nice raw salad with a variety of vegetables each day has been known to assist with b-12 deficiency (it also helps with keeping the colon clean).

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 B12 is found in plants where the soil-based bacteria that poops B12 are alive and flourishing. This is not specific to any particular food or plant. As I wrote earlier, however, most cases of "B12 deficiency" involve malabsorption. Those who consume a healthful diet, as you describe, Zakhah, improve their digestive vitality, and including absorption. Therefore, they assimilate B12 as we are designed to do. However, I would dissuade you and everyone in general from the notion that there are "special foods" for B12 or for anything else. This way of thinking tends to lead people back into symptoms-oriented, medical-model thinking. We serve ourselves far better by focusing our attention on creating health, rather than upon combating any particular symptom(s) (except in certain cases involving trauma).

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Wow, that is great to hear! I eat several kilograms of bananas every week. They have always been a favorite of mine. I love freezing bananas, putting them in the blender and making them into ice cream with a couple of dates..........yum........ I eat Dulse just about every day too.Where can I get brewers yeast, and how can I use it?
