Digesting What You Eat is the Key to Everything ...

We are all different in chemical makeup for different reasons.

We digest foods differently and some foods, according to our blood type we have trouble digesting at all. It is hard when you have a family or don't live alone, you end up eating things that you cannot digest or that make you feel uncomfortable because it is something the whole family or household likes.

"Eat Right 4 Your Type" by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, (1996) is a book on this concept.

The underlying theory behind this book is that people with different blood types have different immunological responses to different foods.

Each blood type has a set of foods that they are compatible with and a set that they are not. This is related to the evolution of the different blood types in times when different diets predominated. It also gets specific enough to allow an individual to take action. It may not be perfect, but it presents a good start, based on some scientific data.

Properly processing your food could eliminate disease at its source and prevent it from ever happening. Therefore eliminating the need for any drugs. First, it should be understood that a protein molecule must be relatively large to cause an immune response once it enters the blood. Protein molecules are composed of a long chain of amino acids connected together, with different protein molecules having different lengths and sequences.

However, they are all constructed from the same 20 amino acids. These amino acids do not cause an immune reaction for at least two reasons: They are recognized as "self" and they are too small. If the protein molecules in the food are first disassembled into their individual amino acids before consumption, no immune response will happen when the resulting amino acids are transported into the blood from the intestine. Also, since they will still be the building blocks your body needs to make protein, their protein nutritional value will not be diminished. In practice, it is not necessary to decompose the protein molecules all the way to individual amino acids.

HOME METHODS FOR ACHIEVING HYDROLYSIS (PROTEIN DISASSEMBLY)

1. Digestive enzymes: Digestive enzymes catalyze this disassembly process in your intestine, making free amino acids that are then absorbed into the blood.

Thus, consuming supplemental digestive enzymes with your food should help greatly and may be sufficient to reverse or control Disease.

2. Boiling in water: Digestive enzymes will be slow to take effect in your intestine and thus may not be totally effective (in time). However digestive enzymes are not required to hydrolyze protein (or carbohydrate) molecules. If foods are boiled in water, hydrolysis will take place. In general, the longer the boiling, the greater degree the proteins are disassembled.

3. Crock Pot: A crock pot has been designed to allow one to keep foods close to boiling for many hours. This would be the next step towards further improving the protein disassembly process.

4. Pressure Cooker: The most effective approach achieving the greatest degree of hydrolysis would be to cook the foods in a pressure cooker. This allows the water to reach a higher temperature before it boils. Pressure cookers are well known to be able to greatly shorted cooking times, for the same reason.

One could experiment with a pressure cooker for any particular food to discover how long it takes to hydrolyze the food to where its proteins no longer produce an adverse reaction.I would suggest the following starting point: Start with a can of soup, add water and vegetables, and cook in the pressure cooker. The time of cooking required to obtain adequate hydrolysis of the protein is unknown. It is up to you to determine this.

Thus, cook for a while. Cool down and try the soup. If you still have a negative, inflammation reaction, return the soup to the pressure cooker and cook some more. Repeat this until you no longer have an inflammation reaction.

This will only have to be done a few times before you know how long to cook in the beginning.I would also suggest including at least some soybeans in the list of added vegetables. They have been found to be exceptionally high in nutritional value.

Demonstration of Effectiveness?: I know a young woman (early 30's) who has been a vegetarian for essentially her entire life. Her choice was not made as a matter of principal or belief, but rather she found that she had an almost violent negative reaction to eating any kind of meat.

She got severe abdominal pains and intestinal problems. As part of her vegetarian diet she periodically tried to eat beans. However, the high protein content of the beans most often gave her considerable abdominal discomfort (not as much as meat). I gave her a pressure cooker and she started preparing her beans in it.

The result was she no longer had the abdominal discomfort from eating them.

The same effect can be achieved even if the decomposition still leaves some amino acids connected in small chains a few amino acids long (called peptides).

The process of disassembling the protein molecules is called hydrolysis. It is the exact reverse of the process your body uses to construct protein molecules from individual amino acids. In the construction process, one amino acid is connected to another by removing a hydrogen atom from one and a hydroxyl radical from the other.

The hydrogen and hydroxyl radicals combine to form a water molecule and the free bonds on the amino acids unite, binding them together. This is repeated many times, adding one amino acid after the next, forming the protein molecule. The process is carefully controlled by enzymes that determine the rate of protein synthesis and exactly which proteins are synthesized.

Hydrolysis simply reverses this process. A water molecule is split and added back to the same bond locations, recreating the original free amino acids, and consuming the water molecule.

It is important to Pay Attention to Your Body, if you are Swelling up After Eating, Inflammation is Setting in then the food you just ate is Highly Toxic to your system... STOP eating it....
