Hmm, interesting, I wonder if this means that raw oats in smaller amounts could support other antifungals in killing candida.

Very interesting...

Will you continue to take the oats or are you at a point now where your health has been regained?

What brand did you use?

Does sarah sell lufenuron again?

thing is, I'm not sure if the enzyme activity is affected by rehydrating them or not.. if you're just eating oats unhydrated and not making sure they are completely chewed, then you may not be getting the benefit, idk.

what I did was made sure I was getting raw oat groats, soaked them in water for 6 hours and then masticated them in a blender to tap into the hard outer that is softened by the water.

... i never got this kind of effect i don't think with just eating raw rolled oats out of the tub.

Well, you probably haven't had any die off because (I suspect) you are eating ordinary rolled oats from the grocery store. Those, while healthy for you in other ways, are NOT raw! The original poster in this thread is refering to "oat groats", which are not usually found in ordinary grocery stores, more likely found in health food stores.

Raw oat groats are NOT flat flakes, like common oatmeal flakes are. Groats look like little seeds. And check the package or the store where purchased to make they do say "raw" if you intend to use them for their chitinase.

chitinase is an enzyme that is destroyed by heat, that is why common rolled oats do not have any chitinase -- the heat used in rolling them before packaging has destroyed the chitinase.

Just want to clear all that up!

The original poster for this thread sure has me thinking of trying this...
