Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Two questions: Does anyone or has anyone used chlorella or spirulina, and if not, howcome? I've read that they have enzyme inhibitors, but they also chelate heavy metals and have other good health benefits. I mix chlorella in some water with lemon juice some mornings, but was just wondering what the consensus is on algae. Also on tea. I'll make herbal tea every so often, usually add some stevia extract. Obviously the dried herbs are put into contact with very hot water, and I would consider it cooking, but just wondering if it's really the same thing as cooked food, if it would have similar ill effects, or if I'm just worrying too much : ) Thanks again, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 The hot water is the issue. You body does not want extremes. Meaning ice water and hot water are neither optimal. Something about white blood cells, can't quite pull it out of my brain. I heard Victoria Boutenko talk about it one time and I think David Wolfe also. It's hazy, but something about the body thinking it is being invaded by the hot water and bring white blood cells out for protection. The cold water takes a lot of energy to warm it to your body temperature. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well, that's fine--I think ayurvedic teachings say to not drink anything in the extremes of temperatures, too. But assuming you let the tea cool to room temp or so before you drink it, is more my question. rawfood , " SV " <shavig wrote: > > The hot water is the issue. You body does not want extremes.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Dunno, then as I don't drink tea any longer because, personally, I don't consider it a raw food. And I do miss my tea. Stevia is definitely not a raw food in any form but what is growing in my garden. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I will make sun tea. I put it in a sunny window with fresh herbs - and occasionally with other dried teas. Not that often but when I want something different. When my kids were young I'd make a gallon of sun tea - I'd put it on the roof of my car. They all enjoyed it. Some Natural Hygienists think dried tea leaves aren't good and only fresh herbs rarely are ok. Louise <<2b.
