Herbal Remedies - proteins en cooking/Don

[Guest guest]

Hi Hanneke,

 

Cooking foods denatures the proteins in them. This makes those proteins toxic to our bodies. Cooking changes their shape and structure. Here is just one article and I can supply you with more if you wish.

 

 

WHY ALL SHOULD EAT ONLY RAW FOODS ALWAYSBy Dr. Bernarr, D.C., D.D.

When food is cooked above 118 degrees F for three minutes or longer, its protein has become coagulated, its sugar has become caramelized, its natural fibers have been broken down, which means it will take longer to move through the intestinal tract, 30% to 50% of its vitamins and minerals have been destroyed and 100% of its enzymes have been destroyed. Cooked food depletes our body's enzyme potential and drains the energy we need to maintain and repair our tissues and organ systems and shortens our lifespan.Dr. Virginia Vetrano writes about an authority who contends that irritation from putting extremely hot foods into the stomach, can cause cancer. Dr. Vetrano also writes that "Heating any food, destroys much of its vitamin, mineral, and protein content and poisonous inorganic acids are formed. The all uncooked diet is most healthful."Marilyn Willison, of Hippocrates Health Institute, writes, "We should not cook our food. During this apparently harmless process, vital enzymes are destroyed, proteins are coagulated (making them difficult to assimilate), vitamins are mostly destroyed with the remainder changing into forms that are difficult for the body to utilize, pesticides are restructured into even more toxic compounds, valuable oxygen is lost, and free radicals are produced. According to Viktoras Kulvinskas, nutrient losses can be as high as 80% or more. Other studies suggest that cooked proteins (coagulated) are up to 50% less likely to be utilized by the body."Dr. Francis M. PottengerJr., wrote about his experiments with 900 cats over a period of ten years. Pottenger fed some of the test cats raw meat and other test cats, he fed cooked meats. Pottenger wrote, "Cooked meat fed cats were irritable. The females were dangerous to handle, occasionally biting the keeper..." The cooked meat fed cats suffered with "pneumonia, empyema, diarrhea, osteomyelitis, cardiac lesions, hyperopia and myopia (eye diseases), thyroid diseases, nephritis, orchitis, oophoritis (ovarian inflammation), arthritis and many other degenerative diseases." No cooked food is benign. Cooked foods act malignantly by exhausting your bodily energies, inhibiting your healing, and decreasing your alertness, efficiency and productivity.Cooked foods suppress the immune system. the heat of cooking destroys vitamins, enzymes, minerals, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, and damages fats, making them indigestible. The fatty matter becomes a local irritant.The heat disorganizes the protein structure, leading to deficiency of some of the essential amino acids. The fibrous or woody element of food (cellulose) is changed completely from its natural condition by cooking. When this fibrous element is cooked, it loses its broomlike quality to sweep the alimentary canal clean. The fibrous matter is changed from its natural state to a poison. Raw food has the best balance of water, nutrients and fiber to meet your body's needs.Cooking causes the inorganic elements to enter the blood, circulate through the system, settle in the arteries and veins and deaden the nerves. After cooking, the body loses its flexibility, arteries lose their pliability, nerves lose the power of conveying impressions, the spinal cord becomes hardened, the tissues throughout the body contract, and the human being becomes prematurely old. In many cases this matter is deposited in the various joints of the body, causing enlargement of the joints. In other cases, it accumulates as concretions in one or more of the internal organs, finally accumulating around the heart valves.Raw foods are easily digested, requiring only 24-36 hours for transit time through the digestive tract, as compared to 40-100 hours for cooked foods. This increases the threat of putrefaction and disease. When you eat cooked carbohydrates, proteins and fats, you are eating numerous mutagenic (carcinogenic) products causes by cooking.

HTH,

Don Q.

He's right. If you are cooking the vegetables then you are destroying theprotein. Don't cook the vegetables. Very lightly steamed at most andpreferrably raw.Don Q.

 

Hi Don,

 

I know that cooking destroys enzymes but for some reason I don't think the proteins. Could you give me some references for cooking en destruction of proteins? Thanks

Don, HELP!

i have been depending on beans and rice for a large part of my

protein intake. don't the beans have to be cooked ? they are

terrible raw even when they have been soaked for 14 hours. i have

been soaking them, pouring the water off, soaking more, pour water

off, then simmer for about ..oh maybe 3 hours.. can't remember, just

simmer and stir occasionally til they are tender, adding more hot

water if needed. (i heat extra water in my coffee maker as it saves

tap water trying to get hot)am i totally killing them and making

them useless? i don't know what temp simmering gets to, but this is

the way my mother did her beans.

i just did a double batch (2 cups) yesterday and they are so GOOD i

aminclined to over eat! but now i wonder about their efficacy.

I know Granny, I know.

 

I too love beans. Nothing better than a pot of beans. Well, when one is hankering for beans then there isn't anything better. LOL Presently I am using lentils raw. I soak them for 24 hours and then allow them to sit for another 12 draining. They are really quite good. I am in the process of making me some chili using uncooked lentils. Just gotta figure out the sauce part as I want that live too.

 

I am trying out different beans to see how they work raw. Some of the larger and more hard beans....well, I'm not too sure of yet.

 

However, cooking the protein denatures it and makes it not good for the body and mostly unusable. Was kann ich sagen?

 

So, you might consider using lentils, unless you don't care for them. I am still researching here Granny. Don't give up yet.

Dear Granny,

You will kill ALL of the enzymes by cooking. There are no exception here.

It doesn't mean that you won't get some protein when eaten this way, you're just not getting the most out of it.

Best with beans is to sprout them Oriental style and eat in a salad. Now you're getting the ultimate ;o)

Love,

Doc

PS. How you eat should be determined by what you want to accomplish healthwise.

Are you in excellent health??? = yes = It won't hurt to eat the odd cooked organic food here and there. You should still be eating a lot of RAW!!!

Are you in medium to poor health??? = yes = Eat Raw Organic Foods only!!!

Are you in terrible health, really sick, and going downhill from there??? = yes = Drink ONLY Organic Freshly made JUICES!!!!!!

;o)

I'll answer this since Don seems to be off at the moment.

Split Peas can be sprouted, as it is their nature to crack in half. Some beans also do this, but most don't.

A good rule of thumb would be to sprout the peas whether split or not, but sprout beans whole unless they've naturally split on their own.

Love,

Doc

RE: Herbal Remedies - proteins en cooking/Don

 

Hi Don, Just a question on soaking... if the lentils or beans (or split peas) are already split, can you still soak them to disable the enzyme inhibitors, or does the "seed" have to be intact?

Thanks!

Kelli

Okay Doc,

 

Here you go.

Web Site: http://www.healself.org

There really is a lot of data out there on this subject. Some goes one way, some another and some just goes.

There are many, many sites that go into the subject of cooking and what it actually does to your food and your body. Very interesting information. Man is the only life form that cooks!! Man is the only life form that has to depend on doctors too. Should tell you something, at least in an off handed way.

Love,

Don

Hi Kelli,

 

Yes ma'am you certainly can. Split or whole they still need to be soaked to deactivate the enzyme inhibitors.

 

Your Welcome,

This is where you let the bean sprout out to 2 or 3 inches.

As in the bean sprouts you get when you eat at a Chinese restaurant etc.

Deeeeeeeeeelishoussss!

What's oriental style sprouting? Is it different from the way I sprout by just soaking the beans overnight? Thanks!

good! wanted to kill the enzyme INHIBITORS but not all the enzymes

nor the protein. thanks for the response you and Don both.. 'bout

time i go eat a bean.. i mixed red, black and pinto and put a bunch

of herbs seasoning and chillies and THEY ARE GOOD!!! i think if they

made me sick, i'd go ahead and eat them since i have them made <G>

i added the herbs and chillies after they were cooked so at least

i'm getting them raw!!

 

love.. grany lee
