holy sh*t …i did think of something, well, a little bit of something. i just read this last week. i’m getting ready to do a fast ..anyway, the article was addressing the gut and its absorption of nutrients …basically, it said that we put a lot of strange things into our stomachs …chemicals, preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers, all kinds of processed foods and sodas ..you know ..anyway, the thing i found of interest ..the article said, as a defensive mechanism, you body produces a lot of mucous to protect itself and hold back some of this junk from being absorbed from the gut into the blood and ….as a consequence, the mucous lines the gut and keeps a lot of the good nutrients from being absorbed as well ..so, you lose. it was making a case for fasting and using psyllium and bentonite and fasting to pull this mucous down and out ..uuugh, so gross. thought that was interesting about the mucous problem. solomé
