4 egg yolks*
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Dash cayenne
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons water
2 cups canola oil
Begin with all ingredients at room temperature, they will
emulsify more readily.
In a food processor or blender, process the yolks, salt, mustard,
cayenne, lemon juice and water together to form a stable base.
With the motor running, add a few drops of the oil, the mixture
will begin to thicken.
Then, begin adding the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream.

Flat Iron Steaks with Great Green Sauce and Nutty “Roni-N-Rice”

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Substitute the pasta you like (rice, spelt etc) and drop the
avoids from the sauce (capers, anchovies and Worcestershire) or
use them as you see fit. It might also be fun to use spinach or
other beneficial green for the sauce instead of the parsley.

Animal fats are good. Water so hard you can chew it. Jerky? Earth Su

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Weston A. Price Foundation carries this as heavy in nutrition. Also, this
dentist’s research will make you think twice about a root canal. So sorry
Dr. Dean Ornish…(I grew up with the Ornish’s- very cool family with whom
to celebrate Passover.)…saturated fats really do a brain good.
We have spring water piped into our barnhouse- it is delectibly hard and
tasty- no good for cleaning clothes or making our whites whiter. So we dress
dingy and feel pretty good with no chlorine or flouride.
What kind of jerky? I have kinda enjoyed Shelton’s Turkey Jerky (reminds me
of a song by NCM-non-compus mentis- in the 80s called Turkey Lurkey). Is
your jerky nitrited? (being from the South and all, it is difficult to ask a
gentleman about his jerky, but for information sake, I must break
tradition-LOL).
Our seamstress, Elweana, calls our bodies “earth suits”. She believes in a
resurrection.

Digest Number 1789

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Jill, I’m so glad that the blood type diet is working well for you so far. I
have had a very similar experience ~ I can tell in my body that it is working
for me. I have to laugh though, hearing about the raw foodists who claimed
there is no scientific evidence for the BTD! www.dadamo.com has so much
information about studies, etc. I go by what works for me in my body, but for
folks who want to look at the science, there’s a lot out there!
Axel, count me in for the water tasting party (I gotta get me some gray sea
salt), but I’ll pass on the licking, unless I can bring my fiance’ ;-) Paulita

Need help-candida induced hives

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

I am currently without any of my ER4YT books - I just moved, and half of my
stuff is still in
storage. My 6 yr old has been fighting excema. After watching his diet
carefully and still
not having it get better, I started him on a children’s acidophilus suppliment
to help
balance his intestinal flora ;) The candida die off is giving him hives. I’ve had the same problem before in
the past, and
I got a lot of relief from eating a few spices D’Adamo specifically listed for
hives/candida
in Live Right 4 Your Type.
The help I need are which spices these were. I remember cloves. I think thyme,
or
rosemary, or both, but I can’t remember for sure, and I can’t think of any

Mr. Anders’s Warrior Diet

*excuse me for being late* I read some posts, others I did not. I missed a few
days here and there.

Hey Thomas,
Thanks for responding to my confusion…
The program I have been using to track my meals in terms of calories, fat,
protein, carbs and vitamins, etc. is from FitDay.com; there must be some error
in the way it measures fat in some foods. It lists Ghee as having 13 gms. of fat
per tablespoon, olive oil (14 gms/tblsp), egg (5 gms/egg), squash (1 gm/squash),
banana (1 gm/banana), almonds (7 gm/22 almonds), etc… I think I may have
entered some things incorrectly…still, it would seem to be very challenging to
get 180 gms. of protein (720 calories), 180 gms. of carbs (720 calories), and
figuring a total of 1800 calories/day, leaves about 360 calories for fat (40
