are spelt & kamut damp producing: what does paul pitchford say?

[Guest guest]

yeah, i was wondering if there would be any info on this issue in his book.

does he mention anything about about spelt or kamut being damp producing?

or does he explain what is it about wheat and oats that make them damp

producing, contrasted to other grains such as rice, quinoa, amaranth (to

name a few) which are not considered damp producing?

i was working when i typed the note about what

he has in his book, i didn't have time to read

all of the information about grains.

 

since he says that spelt " moistens dryness " , then

i consider that " damp " .

dampness? Check the grains listed below.Mike W. Bowser, L Ac
