Hope that oatmeal is precooked, ask Linda about the tech specs about uncooked (nonhydrolized ) starches in the body.

Dr. Lorraine Day advocates eating oatmeal raw, soaked for an hour or so in juice or water. She insists that this preserves the enzymes needed to digest it properly. We ate it that way for awhile, during the summer.

But all of those people who insist that anyone who has any kind of health problems could completely restore their health if they would copy Dr. Day's diet and eat 75% of their food raw and drink enormous amounts of carrot juice (yes, I have had them beating me over the head with this nonsense, and I do NOT appreciate it, especially when they tell me they know they should eat that way themselves and they don't!!!! ) do not realize that it is a departure from the counsels God has given us through Sister White if we were all to eat the way she does.

Cathy,

You said "do not realize that it is a departure from the counsels God has given us through Sister White if we were all to eat the way she(Dr Day)does."

Would you please elaborate further? I don't understand what you are saying. Thanks

Look up!!! He's coming!

Cathy, Karen, All,

I posted an article written by Dr. Agatha Thrash in the Healthy Diet and Recipes Forum in the topic titled Grains . . . Cook'em, Cook'em, Cook'em. I hope you will read the article and continue the discussion of how grains should be eaten in that forum since this is the testimony forum. Thank you.

Karen, I will address this topic in the Healthy Diet & Recipes section as soon as I have time to get together the SOP quotes to show what I am talking about.

Yes, I just finished reading the article Linda posted there and am also interested in this discussion being continued there.

In fact, it would also be a good idea for those of you who posted here to repost there what you already posted here.

Wow Oatmeal a topic

But it does underscore our need of knowing how anatomy & physiology & the laws of nature work together. Sr White could not digest the 5 chain pentose polysaccaride(sugar) in beans & possibly other legumes. To her they were a source of pain & gas & a very upset digestive system.

Not everybody can eat everything with benefit, and others need more of somethings than others.
