• Parsley probably works because it is a deoderizer.

• No, I don’t think the mushy brown parts are okay… afterall, isn’t it a sign it’s going bad… I heard that bananas are one of few (or the only fruit) that continues to ripen after its picked. The enzyme in it begins to “work” (kinda like pre-digesting…

• It doesn’t matter what weight you are… you’re probably not fasting anyway. Besides, your getting rid of your waste not your weight. It’s probably best to do it in the morning (when the pyloric valive is open) before you eat anything. I didn’t have t…

• I think about 1/4 to 1/2 inch is more nutrient dense. Interesting, flybaby. I didn’t know that. What do you mean by pulses… what foods are in this category? nuts, grains, seeds, and/or legumes?

• I use it… but rarely. I usually just turn it off before it finished its time. Besides, I haven’t seen a difference between 1 hour and 4 hours when dehydrating for 12+ hours. The timer is useful for shorter times… like 4 hours. But, it probably means…

• spierspmus… like coconut! I think 95F is a good temperature. But, I haven’t experimented enough to know the right temp for a softer fruit roll-up. Mine turn out pretty crispy… but that’s because it’s at a higher temperature dehydrating with other fo…

• Cold? Just defrost them when taking them out of the freezer… run them under warm water. Or do you mean, the foods become more “yin/cold” if they are frozen, regardless of whether they are defrosted or not before consumption? Elizabethh, where did yo…

• The food’s enzymes do denature some… but, I assume they would denature slowly… depends on food, temperature, and length of freezing. Someone posted a LONG TIME AGO that Cascadian Farms brand flash freezes their frozen foods. I haven’t called them to…

• Once a day we went to the sauna… we got in the sauna until we were hot enough. When I got out, I took a cold shower and then got back into the sauna to warm up again… then, when I got hot, I got out and had another cold shower. I would end there, or…

• When I was at the mission, we had to get into the sauna just about every day to do hot-cold “showers”. We did the hot-cold “shower” 2 or 3 times… and always ended with cold. This is supposed to tighten your skin! :o)
