Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Dear Hope, If you are preggers, you need even more protein. This will develop a healthy baby and keep mom in good shape too. Anyone who tells you differently is "not your friend". ;o) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - hope herbal remedies Thursday, January 29, 2004 2:31 PM Herbal Remedies - Re: Protein -I'm a doula and have studied a lot about midwifery. So for pregnant ladies-- 75 grams a day, and if you're expecting twins 120 g day. That isn't for normal people. But i have a baby and hope to have many more so i try to keep my nutrition good so that my body will do well and babies will be healthy.And of course some vegans will tell you that you don't need any protein-- but my midwife isn't vegan.hopeps, my son was born at home in our apartment after a lovely 4 hour labor for which i am very grateful and take no credit.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 A friend of mine is vegan and not a healthy one! She just miscarried after being in the hospital for toxemia. She doesn't follow any other herbal or natural remedies and does not get a balanced vegan diet. Protein is important! Angela hope [hopeinjehovah]Friday, January 30, 2004 8:07 AMherbal remedies Subject: Herbal Remedies - Re: ProteinThere is a vegan midwife i know of that suggests that pregnant ladies don't need much protein. That is contrary to the evidence and opinion of good midwives. Good midwives suggest that complete protein is important and vegetarians must be extra careful to get enough protein to prevent toxemia. There aren't huge double blind studies done on this because there isn't enough economic interest. Hope this clarifies things-- protein is important for pregnant and lactating women. Healthy Traditional cultures were very aware of this and fed such women extra special nutrient rich diets.See Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon or Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by weston A priceherbal remedies , Persian <persian13@i...> wrote:> HI,> > On Thu, Jan 29, 2004 at 09:31:31 -0000, hope wrote:> > > > And of course some vegans will tell you that you don't need any > > protein-- but my midwife isn't vegan.> > > > I can't believe anyone would say you don't need any protein, why> vegans in particular?> It is impossible not to eat it protein, it's in fruit and veg, so vegans get more than> enough whether they like it or not:) Even without heaps of beans and nuts we can> easily manage around 14% protein, but we usually consume far more than that.> > regards> PersianFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 This is why the Total Nutrition formula is sooooooooooo important. There is more protein in the Spriulina and the Chlorella than in a steak.

It is impossible not to eat it protein, it's in fruit and veg, so vegans get more than enough whether they like it or not:) Even without heaps of beans and nuts we can easily manage around 14% protein, but we usually consume far more than that. regards Persian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Dear Jen, You are definitely on track. ;o) Vegetable protein is more assimilable than animal protein. There is less of a digestion process and as such, is why we go vegetarian when doing a cleanse. We want the body to focus on "healing", not on "digestion" when doing a cleanse. By eating certain combinations of vegetables, fruits and algaes, you could become a permanent vegan. You have to do this right though. Doing it incorrectly without the proper combinations can lead to trouble. This one of the reasons meat is so popular - most of your essential amino acids are found there in great abundance. But there are other solutions, and Spirulina and Chlorella are some of them.

(Not the taste...I think it tastes like Fish Food...not that I've ever eaten fish food...) but anyway, it's awesome for nutrients. And isn't the protein much more assimilated than that of beef?I was recently diagnosed (by my naturopath, never an MD) with a low thyroid (which I'd been suspecting for a while, because even though my weight is normal, even on the slimmer side, I'm still **constantly **cold--even though I live in Texas--my thermostat can be set at 78 degrees and I'll still cold--and I have dry skin and funny moods sometimes.) So I need more protein and a few other foods to help stimulate my thyroid. So I've been adding spirulina flakes to my fruit juice (never from concentrate) and my nightly herb-crusted fish. That seems sound to me, am I right in doing this?herbal remedies , "Dr. Ian Shillington" <Dr.IanShillington@G...> wrote:> This is why the Total Nutrition formula is sooooooooooo important.> There is more protein in the Spriulina and the Chlorella than in a steak.> Love,> Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Why not add some cayenne tincture to your diet???

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Well Kelli, That all depends on what you are wanting to achieve. Tincturing is the best and will extract the capsaicinoids, much better than your body can, and deliver them much quicker into your body. Alcohol is a much better solvent than the digestive juices. Most of the cayenne you eat just passes right on through and very little gets extracted. I know it doesn't seem like it when you are blowing fire from both ends. Hope this answers your question. Don Q. - Kelli Bever herbal remedies Tuesday, February 03, 2004 6:58 PM RE: Herbal Remedies - Re: Protein Hello cayenne experts, I was wondering if cayenne tincture or encapsulating the cayenne is best? Does tincturing the cayenne draw out the beneficial goodies better than the body can through ingestion? ---Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Marmite and Vegemite are not popular items here in the US. Nut butters are more common and can be made at home after sprouting the nut and/or seed. You can find Vegemite here if you really look and ask the store manager though.
