Fermented Vegetables

[2005]

Are we talking about all the other things like sauerkraut and all that stuff?  

[Aajonus] 

All of them will interfere with the natural bacteria that you have for meat and dairy. That's for a vegetarian animal. You won't find any vegetarian animals that will eat fermented anything cause they're not used to eating cooked foods. They don't need that added bacteria.

So the fermentation is for detox.  

[Aajonus] 

It's for detoxification, yes.  

[Attendee] 

So, is it a good thing for us on the primal diet once in a while? 

[Aajonus] 

If you've eaten cooked vegetables in your lifetime? Absolutely.  

[Attendee #2] 

But you wouldn't eat it every day. Something like that? 

[Aajonus] 

Absolutely not. You'll destroy your digestibility. After I did that sugar cane, I had diarrhea for two months. I had gas. I never had gas or rarely had gas, it never stunk once I started eating meat and dairy. 

After that fermented sugar cane juice, I still had nasty gas from eggs. I destroyed some of the bacteria that digests my egg properly. 

So, I'm rotting eggs or I'm letting eggs get high, eat them to help supplement that again. I don't know how long it's gonna take.  

[Attendee] 

Reason I'm asking is because I was on the diet for about 5 or 6 or 7 years, and then I decided to have some sauerkraut one day, and just like you I never had gas, but like within 24 hours, I was like, "Woooo". No way, not me. 

[Aajonus] 

It just goes in there and destroys the acidic bacteria that feeds and breaks down meats and dairy. It destroys it.
