Dr. Marshall Recipes...

Over the next few months, I have a goal of starting to incorporate a number of recipes into my diet that Dr. Marshall has recommended. Tonight I tried his flatbread recipe which resembled a pancake. It was quite tasty and I also plan on looking for and trying other flatbread recipes - some that are a little more bread like. His recipe was super easy, though, and it is a great dipping bread or could be used like toast, as well. I'll include the recipe at the end of the post. I just wanted to include some of his information on why he does not recommend yeast bread. I did some of my own research on this subject and there was very little on the following information that I was given by Dr. Marshall. I did find this interesting article, though. All in all, it's definately something to ponder...

1)Digestive Stress:
Swiss researchers in the 1930's found that after eating food cooked above its critical temperature...there was a rise in the number of white blood cells...typically seen only when the body is reacting to infection, trauma, or toxic chemicals. They later discovered that the body was recating to how highly the food had been heated. When raw food was eaten, this response did not occur.

2)The Critical Temperature:
Reseachers have discovered that each food, including every grain, has a "critical temperature". (For example, the critical temperature of a potato is 200 degrees, whole wheat 192 degrees).

3)Thermotoxins:
But if a food is heated over its critical temperature, "thermotoxins" are created in the blood of the person eating it. For example, a baked potato which has been cooked at 350 degrees, will elicit a toxic reaction int he blood of the eater. The same potato, if slow baked at 200 degrees for a longer time, will create no toxic reaction when eaten. The higher a food is heated over its critical tempeature, the greater and more violent the termotoxic reaction takes place in the blood. Of course, this is not a reaction that you may feel immediately after consuming a highly heated food.

4)What's Wrong with Eating Regular Bread?
Because bread is so highly heated, it elicits a toxic blood reaction after it's eaten. (Dr. Marshall also recommended cutting all yeast out of your diet.)

5)Healthy, Low Heated Food
The researchers found that the critical temperature of most foods ranged around 200 degrees.

Recipe for bread:

2 1/2 cups of organic flour (they recommend grinding your own and I will do another post on the benefits of this).
3 1/2 cups purified water
1 tsp natural sea salt
Herbs to taste such as garlic, tumeric, etc.

Blend all ingredients in a blender. If you want thinner breads, add more water. Heat a non-stick pan and heat at medium temperature and pour a pancake size serving into pot. Cook as you would a pancake. Enjoy!
