Well how can this be? The problem is so many Sebians and Kings and Queens are not giving good eating habits along with the nutritional guide.
You are allowed to fry with grape seed oil. BUT most grape seed oils on the market are low quality. How can you have organic grape seed oil for $5.95 when the seeds cost $30 a pound? As stated below, the oils are typically made from left over seeds when wine is made. Finding a good quality, organic oil should be your top priority. When I was searching for a good grapeseed oil on Amazon.com, it was hard to find. The link above is one that is a best seller.
Anything fried is bad for your health. Plain and simple the new guidelines on the Dr. Sebi Site is that fried foods and microwaves are to be avoided.
Dangers of Eating Fried Foods
According to Harvard/EDU "People who eat a lot of fried foods may have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, according to a large, long-term study."
Instead of frying, bake. I have converted many recipes that originally showed that it was fried and baked it instead, like my Crunchy Stuffed Spelt Flat Breads.
How Grapeseed Oil Is Made
According to Dr. Axe.com. Grapeseed oil is obviously made from grapes, but what you might not know is that it’s usually a leftover by-product of wine making. After wine is made, by pressing the juice from grapes and leaving the seeds behind, oils are extracted from the crushed seeds.
Oils can be made in various ways — for example, some are “cold-pressed” or “expeller-pressed” (like unrefined virgin coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil), while others require chemical solvents and a very lengthy process to draw the oils out. In order to extract the oil from the tiny grape seeds, heavy machinery and sometimes chemicals need to be used. Some modern industrial machines used to make grapeseed oil heat the oil to very high temperatures, which is the opposite of what we want, since this can destroy the oil. So for this reason, the potential benefits of different grapeseed oils depends a lot on how they were processed and bottled.
It is very important to buy Organic Grape Seed Oil that is cold pressed or expeller Pressed. If the oil bottle does not say how it was made, do not buy.
The Second Problem - Packaged and Grains
If you are making fried foods and eating a lot of bread and grains and packaged pasta, where are your vitamins? Cooking reduces the nutrient value of food and so by frying your food, you are destroying everything valuable. Then the rest of your meal is grain based and little vitamin content also.
Spelt, Kamut and Teff flours are the most common flours used, but are they healthy? Dr. Sebi allowed these grains in his diet, but too many people are eating lots of breads and few vegetables and thus causing the body to be toxic.
When used in moderation, you can have grains, but you cannot be consumed with this type of diet all the time. You must have the electric balance.
WHAT IS THE BEST BREAKFAST
There are many spring waters available and my favorite is Fiji water, but there are some cheaper brands at the store.
I can't emphasize the need for Sea Moss and Bladdewrack also. Dr. Sebi was always drinking his Sea Moss Drink. For me I add the Bromide Plus Mix to my smoothie. The Bromide Plus Mix is 50% sea moss and 50% bladderwrack. You can make it at home here.
The other things Dr. Sebi talked about much was fasting and taking his Green Food Plus. He said he never got hungry on his fasting due to taking his green food plus in the morning. He took 3 to 4 capsules each morning. The reviews are very good on this remedy also.
Green Food Plus contains:
- Nettles
- Nopal Powder
- Linden Flower
- Bladderwrack
You can find the recipe here.
HERBAL TEAS
Too many people choose a million herbs in one tea pot. To me, this is just wrong. You can use the teas as needed and for the purposes that they were meant to solve. We have the perfect mucus tea: burdock, red raspberry, black walnut leaf and elderberry. Then we have the dandelion root and hibiscus mixture and then we have the calming tea of anise and mint or chamomile. Never together. Yellow dock is nasty tasting, but has many benefits, but for me I will pass and look for some soothing teas. I just love bladderwrack and ginger teas too. So look for the perfect combination and experiment. You can also add in red clover, horsetail and red raspberry together.
Oils
You cannot cook with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but you can cook with Virgin Olive Oil as it has a higher smoke point. You can cook with organic grapeseed oil or avocado oils. Be careful when choosing avocado oil as most are for beauty only. Sesame oil cannot be cooked with and used only as a dressing.
Remember 1 cup of oil is equal to 2000 calories and 1 tablespoon of oil is equal to 120 calories. So spritz the oils, do not pour.
Dr. Axe suggested using coconut oil. In the Middle East We Mix Coconut oil with Organic Ghee. But you could also mix olive oil and coconut oil have and half. Again remember Extra Virgin Olive Oil cannot be cooked with, but Virgin Olive Oil can be.
Veggies and Fruits
Any veggie and fruit on the list can be eaten all day long. You cannot go wrong by salads or soups. If you are sick, then stick with salads and light soups. Barley and Swiss Chard soup is good and it is healing. After boiling the soup, strain and drink the broth only.
Dates are also Allowed
You can have a multitude of date products such as dates, date syrup, date sugar and date sweets. Date sugar is one of the sweeteners we are allowed to eat along with agave.
Agave is like grapeseed oil, you can get good brands and you can get bad. Choose your products based on reviews and recommendations.
If You are Sick
If you are sick and you know it, then fasting is only advisable when you are well enough to handle this. Fasting is hard on the system and your body must have enough vitamins and minerals to sustain it during a fast. We always suggest building your body up first.
Try fasting for 1 day, then 3 days then 7 days and then 12 days. A gradual fast is advisable. Food will always make you sicker than fasting. Fasting is meant to cleanse the body and the colon of all toxic debris.
Cleansing
The 3 products you need for cleansing are rhubarb root, cascara sagrada and prodijiosa. See the products below. Add in 1 cup of rhubarb to 1 cup of cascara and 1/4 cup of prodijiosa. Fill your capsules and take 2 to 3 capsules daily. Do this for 7 days and stop and wait for 7 days and then begin again and do 7 days again.
