Trick for Removing Pesticides from Fruits and Vegetables

[TheEmpyrios]

How much baking soda per cup of water do you mix to make alkaline water with a ph of 11?

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@TheEmpyrios 2 teaspoons per quart as measured by the pH paper I have.

@RheumatoidArthritisx Thank you very much! 

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@TheEmpyrios You are very welcome!

Hi Mrs. Allan, can you please tell me what is the machine you are using? I live in ht UK. I also heard about a method of alternate spraying of the produce with vinegar and 3% H2O2. Thank you so much!!! BTW I do not suffer from RE but belive that your pronciples and teaching can apply to all chronic conditions so I will be buying your book shortly. Best regards! Teo

@Teoroy The alkaline water machine I am using is a Kangen LeveLukSD 501

How does your company introduce its pesticides systemically into food?

[stuartasutherland]

Most pesticides are systemic, so how do you wash those off? (They are in your food). Actually, it's not really an issue as all modern pesticides will only show such microscopic levels in your food - it makes no difference. Stop wasting your time.

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@stuartasutherland Where do you get your information that most pesticides are systemic? My experience is that when I soak many types of fruits or vegetables in alkaline water, the pesticides that come off are visible on the surface of the water and the food tastes much better. The levels are not microsophic, or I would not be able to see a difference. Plus if my food tastes noticably better, why do you call that a waste of time?

[stuartasutherland]

@RheumatoidArthritisx Hiya, I work for a major agrochemical manufacturer so I know a bit about food and residues. Pesticides work in many different ways, some are contact (sit on the surface) and some are systemic. I'm not having a go, just want you to get your facts right. Can I suggest you send away what you reckon is pesticide for analysis. May I also suggest you try your system on organic food. I think what you are seeing is the natural waxy layer on the food being washed off. Cheers.

@stuartasutherland great I'll grow and eat organic then. You can have ur agrochemicals for ur children

I've been washing potatoes, apples, cucumbers, etc with dishwashing detergent and then rinsing all of the soapy water off. Does this get rid of the persticides?

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@harrylove1001 If there are water insoluable pesticides on your food, watering with soapy water will not remove those pesticides.

@vaginaflypaper You might be amazed at what someone who can't walk or who is in chronic pain is willing to do to get out of pain. For some people this this information is the key to getting out of pain and staying out of pain. I'm glad that you are healthy enough and your diet good enough that you personally don't need to do this. But don't knock what some of us need to do to take good care of ourselves.

So this is all because of nature....because we have 7 billion people... What are farmers supposed to do? Lose half their crop to beatles? Is this by design? The power elite trying to kill people off? You can go nuts wondering all this bull shit. I've eaten veggies almost every day of my life because my mom's a nutrition freak. I believe your body either learns to rid itself, or you get cancer or leukemia. I think it's that simple. I mean, nobody that comes home tired is going to do this

[RobMonty248]

@vaginaflypaper Farmers do not design the pesticides.. There are organic pesticides..

We all know this... why do farmers not use organic methods? How did egpytians grow crops with out pesticides? Lots of answers out there when we look. Potatoes and tobacco grown near crops pretty much rids all bugs ive read.. why do farmers not read this stuff? How did the ancients stop the bugs from eating all thier crops is a good question. We need more education, all of us. Most tech comes from egypt already

[HitfulVids]

@vaginaflypaper I'm not too worried about pesticides because I already scrub and rinse my produce obsessively. I used to work in a produce department and got nauseous almost every day from the disgusting stuff I had to clean, cull, hide, etc. There's a good chance that the shiny apple on display had a moldy apple oozing on it in the cooler yesterday. It's probably healthier to avoid "fresh" produce altogether unless you have time to clean it properly.

The name of the machine is Kangen. If you would like to call my office, I can give you the name of the distributor I purchased from. I will send you my office number in a private email.

[slaughterdobbs]

What is the name of that machine that changes the Ph of the water? Do you know where I could buy it?

[kefirkombucha]

hi, great video. so i washed apples in the baking soda water and... i didn't see any difference...are you shure baking soda does take care of the pesticides???

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@kefirkombucha When there are a lot of pesticides that come off, the surface of the water looks oily or cloudly. Sometimes that happens with the apples I wash, sometimes not. I think some apples may have more pesticides on them than others. For lettuce with pesticides, I usually see an orangish tinge when pesticides come off. That is because a different presicide is used that contains bromine. Sometimes with other vegetables I see a greenish tinge.

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@ Nkatsikanis If what I am washing has lots of pesticides, I only use the water in the water bowl once, then change it. If the water looks cloudy, oily or orangy (different pesticides make it look those different ways) then I change it before washing the next batch. If the water looks really full of pesticide after one wash, I will change the water and rewash a batch, just to make sure all the pesticides are gone from that batch of food.

[Nkatsikanis]

how many times can you use that water bowl?

[Nkatsikanis]

amazing video thanks, you look pretty healthy :)

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@Nkatsikanis You are most welcome.
