Good find!
According to various independent lab analysis's, a tray of pea shoots (makes a measly 8 oz of juice) has more vitamin c than 4 oranges! That's why sproutarianism is the best diet possible, it is the highest in EVERY nutrient.

Unless you have had your thyroid surgically removed, destroyed with radiation, or utterly destroyed by your immune system (severe Hashimoto's over a long period of time), it can be restored to complete function. Taking the medication suppresses the thyroid gland but you never become dependent on it, you just have to wean yourself off slowly after you've regained your health so that the thyroid ha

You should definitely be taking algae daily. Lots of people talk down on algae by saying it's contaminated with microcysts, or bacteria, or heavy metals, etc. And maybe the poor quality bands do have these problems, but good quality algae supplements don't and have lots of nutrients you can't get anywhere else. Chlorella, spirulina and AFA have all been studied extensively and the results are ast

1. Yes. Maybe not "super-full", but there shouldn't be much room left to the top of the jar because you want to encourage anaerobic fermentation.
2. Yes, the vegetables above the brine will go bad otherwise. You should rectify that quickly - just mix 1 tbsp salt per one cup warm water (so the salt dissolves) and use that to cover the exposed vegetables.
3. As long as there is a wa

246. Re: Sea Veggies?
Kelp (great source of rare trace minerals), dulse (great for spirituality), nori, wakame, etc. Every seaweed is edible raw, you just need to make sure that what you're buying is actually raw.
I generally have about a tablespoon of kelp a day and sometimes some of the other seaweeds too, but you can safely take 2-3 tbsp or maybe more everyday if you want to...it would probably be best for you t

Mindy,
Browsing this forum I've noticed you talking about a lot of health problems and even enquiring about the 80/10/10 diet...don't you remember all the things we talked about on the natmedtalk forum? I was hoping you would have taken my suggestions to heart and be feeling much better by now.

I briefly mentioned how sprouts have the highest levels of plant hormones. It doesn't sound all that impressive, but plant hormones have major effects on our health. This paper explains the benefits of only a few hormones, but sprouts have thousands, most or all of which positively impact the body in some way. Science will never catch up with nature or the complexity of natural foods, that's why

Depends on the size of your trays/jars. I prefer microgreens grown on trays, but during the winter time I'll be more dependent on jar sprouts because they're quicker to grow and everything slows down during winter. But even more, it depends on your juic

Some of the benefits of specific sprouts:
*Alfalfa: Very high in minerals and very alkalizing, high in chlorophyll.
*Clover: Very good for cleansing the blood and supporting the liver.
*Fenugreek: Great for improving digestion + good for detoxing the liver, and stabilizes blood sugar. Contains some vitamin D3.
*Broccoli: One of the best anti-cancer foods ever discovered; John Hopkins

Where to get sprouting seeds:
You can get sprouting seeds at your local healthfood store, or you can buy them in bulk online (much cheaper). any sprouts can even be bought at your local supermarket; dry lentils, whole (not split) peas, and any dry beans (only a few are edible raw though, mainly mung beans, adzuki beans and chickpeas). If your store carries quinoa or amaranth you can try sprout

Sprouting is actually very simple - all you do is soak the seeds, then rinse them every 8-12 hours until they're ready. Different seeds have different soak and sprouting times. A few examples:
* lentils: soak 10-12 hours, sprout 4-5 days. Rinse twice a day.
* wheat/rye/barley: soak 10-12 jours, sprout for about 2 days. Rinse twice a day.
* quinoa: soak 4 hours and sprout about 1.5-2 days

Yes. Nuts (and seeds, grains, and legumes) contain nutrient and enzyme inhibitors that not only make them very hard to digest, but can also rob your body of minerals. Long-term consumption of unsprouted nuts and seeds can lead to serious mineral deficiencies and digestive problems. Most people just soak their nuts, and that does help break down the inhibitors, but only partially. Sprouting is nec

Yes, sprouting the oats is a much better idea. Unsprouted oats have nutrient + enzyme inhibitors (like phytic acid) that make them difficult to digest and rob your body of nutrients , but when you sprout them most of these inhibitors are deactivated. Sprouting also dramatically increases the enzyme, vitamin, and even mineral levels, and also increases the bioavailability of those nutrients. When

That would make sense, but I have also heard from other sources that the actual mineral levels in sprouted seeds increase, and was hoping if anyone could give me an explanation for that. Maybe I just misinterpreted the information.

How can sprouting seeds increase their mineral content? I heard this before too, but don't see how it is possible...vitamin and phytonutrient levels can go up when a seed sprouts because they are made of basic elements like ca
