Thank You Cheryl, I feel like my mix has been water soluable all along
with my kefir (acturally "kefiili" which is a lot like kefir only
thicker and milder)! I want to make the CC with my kefiili but I don't
think I can because it is so thick! Kefir yes but no with kefiili. I
am having a hard time with letting my beloved kefiili go and starting
over my making something else. I would make yoghurt before I would
make kefir. I like my homemade yoghurt but I don't think I like kefir
as it is sour and thin. I picked between yoghurt and kefiili about 2
years ago as I didn't want to make both and didn't think I needed to.
I believe some people gag because my dh does! It is hard to believe,
it is soooo good.
Cheryl, where do you buy your fruit to juice? You are talking about
some very expensive fruits...papaya & pineapple. I don't get to buy
those too often and when I do they are almost always not ripe are over
ripe. Dr. Budwig suggests papaya on a regular basis for the enzymes.
Papaya is not always pleniful. Do you take enzymes? Which ones? I
mostly stick with berries, apples, dried fruit, nuts and/or banana.
Not all that in the same mix, but mixed and matched. I don't really
like OJ by itself either in the mix. This morning I had OJ, banana and
almonds and it didn't sit right on my tummy. I think it was the OJ.
Your all time fav of papaya, pineapple and banana sounds great to me!
I have not made a veggie smoothie with the FO/CC mixture as yet. Can
you recommend one to start with that you like? I make the mayo and use
it on raw salads every day.
Thanks Cheryl for your help,
Del

Dear Del,
You are so correct when you say that the fo/cc mixing is of the utmost
importance. After all, this is what the Budwig protocol is all
about. I
truly feel that you have now mastered the basic skills of the Budwig
protocol if your mixture looks the way you have described it here.
We have
several lactose intolerant people in our group. I personally
tested both
cc and kefir and I agree with you - there is no difference between
cc and
kefir as far as water solubility is concerned. I find that kefir
cottage
cheese is actually easier to mix with the oil than ordinary store bought
cottage cheese. Also, I found that for those people who gag when
they first
taste the fo/cc, the kefir seems not to have that effect on them
(can you
believe that some people feel that way about this mix?)
While I was typing your reply your orange juice question came
through and I
have personally not tried plain orange juice. It shouldn't be a
problem as
my personal absolute favorite fruit shake is a blend of juiced tropical
fruits such as papaya, pineapple, banana mixed with orange juice,
diluted
with filtered water and then blended with the fo/cc mixture - simply the
best, as long as there is no oil floating on the surface!!
Keep well
Cheryl

Subject: [FlaxSeedOil2] Re: Beads in the mixture-Wilhelm&Cheryl
Thanks Cheryl, I don't mean to run this subject into the ground as I
do think it is of utmost importance. When I mix the oil with my kefir
there is no more residue of oil than if I mix it with CC. This residue
can only be seen with a magnifing glass. With the magnifing glass
there are no yellow beads, it is a cream colored glistening. Possiblly
smaller that the head of a needle. With the naked eye it totally looks
like cream and will stay looking that way, even if I put it into the
fridge for a few hours. Everybody seems to have missed my post, I
think, a few days ago, when I used Nancy's low fat CC. I saw the same
residue, then, as I see when mixing using kefir!
If it were not water soluable then it would separate after it sits and
I would be able to see real oil instead of only glistening, I think.
After my experiment, (mixing with a hand-mixer and using CC and seeing
the same glistening as I see with my kefir) I am inclined to believe
that my kefir mix is indeed water-soluable! I guess the discussion
goes back to just how you mix and how long...whisk, elec hand mixer or
blender. Then ask yourself this question: "does it separate after
sitting and do I see the yellow oil".

Hi Del,
No, I don't think the colour has anything to do with seeing the
oil. If
there is oil floating on the surface, no matter what colour the
mixture, it
is clearly not water soluble. This is a delicious drink and tastes
like a
fruit/veg shake. And yes, you are 100% right, the no. 1 appliance
is of
course your juicer. Dr Budwig states that ALL food should be freshly
prepared and I think that includes all juices. If the grape juice is
pasturized it is obviously not fresh and I would not use that.
Keep well
Cheryl

I don't understand. Is it the color that the grape juice provides that
helps you to see the oil better? My mix also has no beads after I have
added fruit, F seeds etc and will stay that way in the fridge for as
much as a few hours (that is all the longer I have let it sit). I
personally would not add any juice that has not been fresh squeezed.
Is your grape juice pasturized?
