They are merely foods that still have the life force intact and no enzyme inhibitors. After over 15 years of disagreeing with raw foodists, we finally had food tested for life force that has been called inappropriate by raw foodists (steamed or baked). It is loaded with life force, has no enzyme inhibitors and produces happy healthy humans. The key is finding yuor own personal balance. French Meadow Bread is one of the few breads we have found that has as much friendly bacteria and life force as dehydrated breads. Nothing matches the friendly bacteria found in raw goat milk, Natren Probiotics or homemade organic yogurt using Natren yogurt starter. Recipes & Photos ©Copyright 1998 P.

Refill, soak 24 hours & pour off water for drinking 2 more times then discard wheat. (Natural Fermentation produces a wonderful form of bifidus or beneficial bacteria and is propagatable by the human body plus lots of enzymes in this recipe as well as in yogurt & sauerkraut. When it is virtually impossible to carry Soft Wheat Water or the ingredients with you like on some trips, try these wonderful probiotics for keeping the colon in balance and fighting Candida.

Back to Top Young broccoli may have some or all of the stems peeled then diced & added to the salad. Many recipes using sun-dried herbs may substitute minced fresh herbs. Plum tomatoes are our tomato of preference for the fullest flavor. Root vegetables that are lightly baked and lightly steamed winter veggies have actually showed more life force after baking or steaming than when completely raw and are easier to digest.
