Alice's Nutribullet!

Had I not caught that infomercial.....Nutribullet is all they say and much more, especially for a gluten-free cooking mom or dad! Not only have I been making the best "Nutri" drinks This thing does a whole host of other things. I haven't been on here much (Pinterest addict!) but I really have to share. It is NOT like their Magic Bullet...300 watts more power.

Flour: I have a multitudes of appliances and I have never gotten the results with them as i have with my Nutribullet. I can't say enough good stuff about this thing. It feels really good to grind your own flours, you can control every aspect. And yes, this is the finest grind I have ever been able to do! Flax is amazing.

"Nutriblast": This is a term they coined and it fits really good. Most products are hyped really well but this machine actually lives up to it's claims. 1/2 greens, 1/2 fruit and one "blast"(or 2 or 3!). I got hulled hemp seed at Costco, um...have you ever looked at the nutrition values on the side of a package of hemp seed? I am blown away. My dogs love it. It's pricy but not any more than a good piece of meat and it lasts far longer!

Soup: I coined "Soup in 5!" You throw stuff, whatever you have, into this thing, rough chop (10 seconds) toss in a pan and Soup in 5! Potatoes whirled thru here are amazing and cook so fast and thicken so well!

You can grind coffee and WASH it in between French Vanilla and French Roast. Can't do that with a coffee grinder. Yes, you wash/rinse in between because I swear, you won't be able to put it down! My Vita-mix took 10 minutes to clean well, this takes 10 seconds!

Nut Milk: WHERE have I been? If for only this reason you buy one of these things this is it! We have been doing w/o non-dairy for quite awhile. Well, those days are over! You cannot imagine how good your own Almond milk is in this thing. I tried making it in a blender, yuck is what my kids said. Wow is what they say now. Got the almonds at Costco, used one heaping cup, blanched em, soaked em for 12-18 hours(they sprout!)in the fridge, whirled em good in the blender, drained em thru a LARGE coffee filter in a screen colander, and let me tell you, I had to add 3 cups of water it was so think, so creamy, so good, NO SEPARATION, WHAT-SO-EVER!! Water and almonds, no binders, fillers, salt, sugar, nothing but my own two hands and my Nutribullet. Wait till you see the cream cheese left over! Made rice with it!! WOW! Cashews... oh, my! The cream cheese THEY make is beyond description! We finally have creamy back in our house! You will have a cup or so of this stuff and it's better than any cheese I have ever had. I aim to learn more about the left-over pulp! :)

If I ever felt like the Red Hen, it's now!

This thing is too good to be true and I aim to get the word out. Next week I am taking it to Water Aerobics so I can show them what it can do. Forget the "blender", uses too much stuff (things I was going to throw away FILL this blender) hard to clean(you drink out of the container you make it in, RINSE the blade and you are done!)and most everything goes in here! I never peel anything, not mango, nothing. I do remove seeds but not from grapes! I made a drink with raw beets, 1 zuc, 1 cucumber and some fruit, 1/4 cup flax, the kids never knew what was it it! It was so beautiful! It's ground so fine, it's like per-digested. I bet it FLY'S into your system?

Anyone trying to heal their gut should have one of these!

You can make dried fruit cookies in a flash! Whirl the dried fruit, nuts, seeds, press it in a pan, let it "set" and cut into bars....forget buying them!

Oh ya, Bed, Bath & Beyond, $80 with a 20% coupon.

      @Allias, Do you have low magnesium levels?   "The serum levels of parathyroid hormone and magnesium depend on each other in a complex manner. The secretion of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid is physiologically controlled by the serum calcium level, but magnesium can exert similar effects. While low levels of magnesium stimulate parathyroid hormone secretion, very low serum concentrations induce a paradoxical block. This block leads to clinically relevant hypocalcemia in severely hypomagnesiemic patients. The mechanism of this effect has recently been traced to an activation of the alpha-subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins. This activation mimicks activation of the calcium sensing receptor and thus causes inhibition of parathyroid hormone secretion. In addition to the effects of magnesium on parathyroid hormone secretion, parathyroid hormone in turn regulates magnesium homeostasis by modulating renal magnesium reabsorption. The distal convoluted tubule is of crucial importance for parathyroid hormone-regulated magnesium homeostasis." Magnesium and the parathyroid https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12105390/

      I'm guessing it was Manic Depression. I was depressed for 30 years.  It did not go away until I increased vitamin D3 to 10,000 IU (250 mcg) a day.  Three days after going from 8000 IU to 10,000 IU a great dark cloud lifted. Unless you are deficient in Calcium intake from food, don't supplement with calcium.  A high Parathyroid Hormone PTH blood test would indicate insufficient vitamin D causing calcium absorption problems..  High intakes of calcium can be associated with coronary artery calcification. In one study, calcium and vitamin D supplementation accelerated vascular calcification. Thousands of studies of vitamin D supplementation without Calcium have shown that vitamin D is safe even as much as 20,000 IU a day. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought That is confusing. Many gluten processed foods are fortified with vitamins that you no longer get with gluten-free foods.  Doctors don't recognize this as Knitty Kitty mentions. Sorry for the loss of your friend.   I see a pattern where a person with low vitamin D has a stressful situation, mentally or physically like Covid or a cold even allows the immune system to get out of control.  Low vitamin D is common in Celiac Disease.  You seem to fit the pattern. Low choline (eggs and meat) can cause problems digesting fat and Low Thiamine can cause gastrointestinal beriberi.  Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  Low B12 can be the cause of anemial is you are vegan.

      high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) can indicate a vitamin D deficiency. The "normal level" of 25(OH) D is 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). That is the level our body sets as it's normal limit when we don't limit sunshine.  For some people like me it takes 10,000 IU a day to maintain that.  Lack of enough sun and malabsorption of vitamin D orally.

      No, all this is related to calcium. Why would I then have a low ionized calcium level and a high PTH (hormone that controls the balance of blood calcium)? Your thiamine story doesn't hold up.

      Welcome to the forum, @Allias, For the growth and maintenance of bones, more vitamins and minerals are needed than those you are taking.   Bones need calcium, as well as magnesium and iron, but also trace elements like zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, and boron.   Bones need vitamins like Vitamin D and Folate (not synthetic Folic Acid which the body doesn't utilize well), but bones also need Vitamin A,  Vitamin K, Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B6, Riboflavin B2, Choline B4, and Thiamine B1.   High PTH and high alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels may indicate a deficiency in Thiamine B1.  The enzyme Alkaline phosphotase combines with Thiamine to make Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the "energy coinage" used in the body which is required to build bones or perform any body function.  Increased levels of ALP and PTH are produced when there's not sufficient Thiamine to meet the demands.  Bones, the liver, the thyroid and the gastrointestinal tract can all make ALP when there's a shortage of Thiamine in each of those organs.  The gastrointestinal tract makes ALP when increased thiamine absorption is required.  Thiamine is needed to attach to calcium so it can be absorbed.   Thiamine deficiency disorders include muscle spasms in muscles like the neck muscles, and neuropathy.   What is your Vitamin D level? Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with essential nutrients while recovering.   References: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7914453/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7352179/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6459027/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4003329/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10568373/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36428888/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1156856/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38034619/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10398819/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8451766/
