Very timely since one of my relatives is about to undergo heart bypass surgery. Unfortunately they’re not the “let food be thy medicine types”, more of “let modern medicine be thy medicine and I’ll continue to eat and drink whatever I like.”

Sparked my interest again in natto, a friend gave me some spores and some left-overs so I’ll have to give it another try, maybe mixed in with our meals instead of on its own.

As an aside, speaking of the power of plants and the ability of the human body to heal itself, a friend of mine recently beat cancer with diet, exercise,meditation and a bunch of alternative therapies. Did you know that in scientific papers this is called “spontaneous remission”.

“Spontaneous” sure does a huge disservice to all the efforts that she and others put in to their health in order to heal themselves !!

I didn't--ironic though! Thanks for sharing.

I would love some posts about Natto! I put it in my smoothies. I make natto & then freeze it in individual servings. I’m still getting used to the texture, when eating it on its own but love the nuttiness & thickening it adds to my fruit smoothies. I also have congestive heart disease, like my dad did. Another reason I make it.

That is a wonderful trick--also there is such a thing as natto ice cream--chilling it also helps calm down the parts people have trouble with.

I promise, more natto soon....
