Unfortunately I cannot open PDF's. What does it say?

his smoothie is the only thing keeping him alive ;-)

Thanks for posting that Gary. I especially enjoyed the very end where he said, “But twice per year, I lead a juice fast and remind myself that NOT eating can be even more satisfying.”

Indeed, I could really relate to that…

This is somewhat off topic, but I could not help but reflect on how my last Juice Feast relates to this thread. I have made the habit of usually doing a 30 Day Juice Feast once a year just to remind myself that Not Eating Solid Food is actually MORE FUN than eating. I actually went 72 days this last time so I could say that I have Juice Fasted or Juice Feasted for over 1000 days in the last 20 years, a 1005 days on 136 different occasions to be exact.

Anyway, the point I want to make is that I was reflecting during my last JF that very few people ever experience what it’s like to have a completely empty Food Tube. If you’re eating properly, which we all know very few people do, everything we eat today should be out of us tomorrow, but many times it might take the 1st meal of the day to get rid of the last meal from yesterday.

So once again, very few people ever get to experience what this sensation is like and I know from experience that there is no greater feeling than having a completely empty Food Tube.

Yes. If we eat two meals per day we must poo two times per day. It should come out quick and very little to no toilet paper is needed, and no foul odors should be present at all. That is how it is supposed to be. Good elimination and diet is so important.

What would you say is more important... how many times you go or how much overall comes out?

Can't keep the food in the body for too long, so regular evacation is good.

How much comes out is very important. It should be like when we were kids...the stools should be large. If you eat a big pile of legume sprouts the stools will be HUGE and fluffy lol.

And when you smell foul odors you will know old decaying matter is coming out from your previous bad diet.

I'm surprised sproutman consumes agave nectar, cacao, and nutritional yeast and cooks some of his meals.

Sorry, I have his cookbook and it's without a doubt the worst one I have.

Sproutman's books on sprouting and wheatgrass are the finest books on the subject ever written, nothing gets close to those books.

I've read that nutritional yeast is high in pesticides because it's grown on molasses which is apparently one of the most heavily sprayed items. Also to my knowledge it's not raw.

Thanks for the heads up! Makes me understand more clearly that I'm better off going it on my own with sprout recipes as I understand that food can both be good for you and taste good.

There are plenty of modern raw food cook books and YouTube 'chefs' that are creative and talented that would serve beginners, who are new to food prep, better. This book is really boring, goofy, and VERY dated.

Keep in mind, also, that almost all, if not all, bacteria used in the food industry is GMO. If you buy special vegan digestive enzymes, for instance, don't think that all those words ending in ...ace got there without GMOs. They didn't.

VeganZyme is GMO free

I am not saying you can't buy GMO free enzymes on the market. I am saying what is used to deliver the enzymes for use in products are GMO bacteria. Try, for instance, to find a Phytase that did not use a special sophisticated GMO as a delivery system. You won't.

There are many steps to manufacturing and the food industry is very sophisticated and stealthy.

What in 'VeganZyme' is GMO?

I found 23 mistakes in Meyerowitz's book "Juice Fasting & Detoxification," 14 mistakes in Airola's book "How To Keep Slim, Healthy & Young With Juice Fasting" and 18 mistakes in Jensen's book "Juicing Therapy." Don't get me wrong, they're all still great books, but like every book that I have ever read, I have never found one that I think is 100%. That's why I have weighed every one of my BM's for the last 20 years. I'm trying to make some sense out of all of this and because I have gone to so much trouble, I know what Ehret meant when he said, "...every mouthful of wrong food eaten becomes an obstruction in the bodily machine, an encumbrance, a restriction of your vitality, strength and endurance. Regardless of how small it may seem at the time, it is an interference with your standard health."

Peace and Love..........John

<<<What would you say is more important... how many times you go or how much overall comes out?>>>

The answer to this question really depends on “What you are Eating” and “how much Damage has been done to our Anatomy,” otherwise, “how much overall comes out” is more important because NOT all of it comes out all of the time if you are NOT Eating the Right Food or if you are Eating too much of certain Foods, like Avocados.

As far as “how many times you go,” that also depends on “What you are Eating” and “how much Damage has been done to our Anatomy” because if you are Healthy and Eat 2 Healthy Meal early on in the day, they may come out as 1 BM, otherwise, the rule of thumb is that if you Eat 3 Meals a day, you should have 3 BMs a day, but as I mentioned above, the first 2 may come out as 1.

Interestingly, when I’m telling someone about the 3 In and 3 Out concept and that there are severe forms of Constipation where some people only go once or twice a week and there is a more mild form of Constipation where some people only go once a day but are Eating 3 Meals and several Snacks a day and I’m talking to someone with a HUGE Belly, many of them say, I’m Not Constipated because I’m having 4 to 5 BMs a day. What these people do Not understand is that our Colon is only supposed to be 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter, but we have seen colons at times of autopsies that are 10 inches in diameter and when the colon stretches out too far, the muscle filaments are no longer connecting or overlapping and, therefore, the muscles are no longer contracting and relaxing or there is no longer any peristalsis and the only way these people are able to have a BM is when more Food is crammed into the Food Tube and it’s sort of like those orange sherbet push-up deserts where we push on one end and out it comes on the other end.

So if our Colon has been stretched out where there’s little or no peristalsis and we’re having 4 to 5 BMs a day, then some of what we ate yesterday is coming out, but most of what’s coming out us is what we ate from several days ago. In other words, you could be Eating 3 Meals a day and you could be having 3 BMs a day and still be Constipated!

I don't seem to be getting the concept across to you. Maybe it's me.

Here is an official document type thingy which you perhaps can at least respect the authority of. It's clearly written and says it all, IMO ...

And yet there are still a laundry list of health benefits attributed to systemic and digestive enzymes.

I never said otherwise. I'm trying to point out how the food industry circumvents people's concerns by sneaking things in that go over most people's heads. They depend on out ignorance. I am trying to inform.

True. Another good example of this is the company Driscoll's, who claim there "organic" berries are truly organic, even though they are still sprayed with pesticides.

[www.baycitizen.org]

I emailed them about this and this is the response I got: "Thank you for your response. Like we mentioned in the original email, a list of specific pesticides available for use by berry farmers, are on the US EPA's website at www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/index.htm Unfortunately we do not have more specific information than that, as we trust our independent farmers to make the necessary decisions."
