• Just a guess, but like any dormant nut/seed… it has enzyme inhibitors which would make it more difficult to digest. I’ve never germinated flaxseed before… but that would certaintly make it easier to digest. Grinding the seed would make it easier to …

• Never heard of it. I imagine it’s like coconut powder. Which you could probably buy your own coconut or dry your own coconut and put it through a grinder or food processor to make it into a powder. What recipes would you need this flour for? I would…

• You mentioned acid for marinading. What is the marinade made of?

  in leach out vitamins with marinade? Comment by germin8
• Interesting! I never thought of marinating as a way to leach out vitamins. First of all, vitamins are not enzymes. Enzymes would not denature with marinating. As for vitamins… I don’t know. But, if that’s true… then, maybe the marinade would make fo…

• Do you get nauseous when you eat them? Then, you’re probably not digesting them… and drinking green smoothies with sweet fruit like apple & grapes would help. Try mixed greens or romaine first. If you can’t stomach that, try juicing them. We jus…

• How about high-speed blender instead? I don’t have a fancy juicer that presses juice out of greens… but, yes the entire leaf is good. We blend ours in a smoothie. Or make a kale salad removing the vine… and we blend the vines in our smoothies the ne…

• Thanks rawveganlove. I am not having hair problems any more… but, I am always careful about what goes on my hair and in my mouth (that affects my hair). I want to try out a new shampoo because the one I have was way to expensive. ($10 for a small bo…

• Oh, I totally know what you mean. There was a time I avoided the hair stylist… the mirror… the lights on when a mirror is nearby… and over-examing the hair situation. It wasn’t healthy… but, I couldn’t stop as hard as I tried. I think you’ll notice …

• I hope the hair loss is only cyclical and it will stop again. That happened to me…. I would have some bad days… then good days… then bad… it was awful going through it. One day, eventually I got tired of going through that rollercoaster… months late…

• Nuttgirl, I don’t have an answer to your question… but, hemp seed/oil is well balanced (according to the book). I was reading some of your previous postings and noticed several about hair…. did you ever figure that out? Back when I had hair loss pro…

• Flaxseed has 4 times omega-3 as omega-6… and Hemp seed has 3 times as much omega-6 as omega-3. Long term use of flaxseed can result in deficiency of omega-6 within 16-24 months. Best ratio of omega-3:omega-6 is 2:1. Reference: Fats that Heal, Fats …

• That is great advice omshanti. Flying to AZ or NV from CA. The flights should be affordable. Even southwest has good deals (you won’t find Southwest on travel.yahoo.com). There’s lots to do do in Phoenix…even on the drive up – Montezuma Castle, Arco…

• I love Arizona… I’ve planned several itineraries, for friends and myself. Well, I’m not too familiar w/ SF, LA, & LV; only been there a couple times. But, Sedona… is great! What if you skip LA and try to go to the Grand Canyon from LV to Sedona?…

• Moniquel, we’re doing 30-days of green smoothies after we heard Victoria Boutenko talk. I recommend her lecture on green smoothies or her book “Greens for Life”. From the lecture, I will say: Greens have many amino acids; the building blocks of prot…

• Thanks, Linda… but Sergei’s diabetes was nowhere near as advanced as the person who asked me about natural ‘remedies’. I’ll be recommending foods w/ B-vitamins for their green smoothies.

• Thanks pearjoy. I’m going to let them know about these recipes… because I’m going to be helping them make green smoothies. The main concern was how to relieve pain. I think omega-9 was good for diabetics and nerves… but I don’t remember.
