Fermentation Part 2

One of the things I've encountered over and over again in my health research is that wheat is bad for you.  Usually the gluten is blamed. Along with sugar, wheat is considered to be particularly dangerous for anyone with cancer.  Cancer feeds off of sugars and carbohydrates, so don't eat wheat is what they all say.

Here's a recent photo of a loaf I made from a sour dough starter and with sprouted barley.  It turns out that a Hungarian Nobel prize winning researcher (Dr. Szegny) impressed with the long life spans of Eastern Europeans who ate healthy bread, did a lot of research. Now deceased, his interests were taken up by other Hungarians who a few years ago released a product called Ave or Avemar, recommended to me by Rose.  Ave was one of the more expensive supplements  I took for my cancer when it was still in a dangerous stage.  (I'm not providing any details; you can look it up)  

Ave is made from fermented wheat germ.  So how bad for me is my fermented sour dough whole wheat bread?

(Its important to be aware that the wheat blamed for so many problems is white flour made from industrial wheat which is often sprayed with round-up just before harvest to improve yield and ease of combining.)

To feed my starter I sprout grains, in this case barley, and then dry/roast them so they can be ground into flour.  This is called malting, because the starch in the grain is converted to malt sugars as the seed sprouts.  It is true that cancer loves malt sugar just as much as the regular kind (or maybe not).

Just a little root gives the most sugar and best malt flavor.

One more thing Rose just sold me on.  My new urinary tract homeopathic formulation, is made in Germany from plant ingredients which are not extracted with alcohol (as in all other homeopathic medicines), but from plants which are fermented to make their own alcohol.  Fermented  homeopathics...good stuff!

Fermentation Medicine Part 1

One very important way to strengthen the medicinal or nutritional quality of a plant is to ferment it.  Milk and meat can also be fermented.  Fermented foods like kimchee or sauerkraut are highly recommended by health professionals.  I've made sauerkraut before, but this new batch is my best so far.   

Its only one cabbage, wish I had enough for a five gallon crock.

My main weapon against my bladder cancer has been the quark/flax oil emulsion of the Budwig Protocol.  Quark is the first and oldest cheese.  Why? Big surprise.  If you leave raw milk out for a few days it curdles.  The white part (curds) is quark; the clear part is whey.

I strain it through a pillow case to get it more usable.

Three parts of the quark are blended at high speed with one part of flax oil to get the emulsion which can pass through the cell membrane carrying the Omega fatty acids of the flax. Over a 40 year period Dr. Budwig (biochemist not MD) cured 90% of her hundreds of cancer patients with this as the key treatment.  I've been eating this for four years and am now on a maintenance level.  

If I blend in fresh ground flax seed, banana, and cinnamon and add sunflower kernels and walnuts to make the food as good as the medicine.
