As discussed in the book "Stop the Stick", plants that are high in organic ionic sulfur are beneficial for the body as a natural chelating substance. This soil can be used to boost the sulfur content of your sprout and plant growing environment. Plants, so grown, have the benefits of natural ionic sulfur.
Directions for Sulfur Sprouting
It does not matter what kind of sprouting seeds you use. The process
is the same. I recommend using a variety so you don’t get bored. There are
many sprouting seeds out there and seed mixes that you can get as well.
(All of this is just a guideline to help you find what works for you.)
1) Fill a jar or deep bowl with 2 cups water. Add 1/8 tsp. sulfur to the water and mix completely, breaking up and mixing in small chunks. A little bit goes a long way.
2) Add 2 Tbls. sprouting seeds to this sulfur water and allow to soak. The soaking varies for different types of seeds. On average, 8 to 12 hours is sufficient. The sprout label should give directions.
3) After the soaking time is completed, drain the water off the seeds and rinse thoroughly. Make sure to rinse all the sulfur water off. Always rinse in water at room temperature. Water too hot will kill the seed and too cold will shut down the speed of growth.
4) After the seeds have been rinsed thoroughly, spread them out evenly in a sprouting tray or lay jar on its side and spread out evenly in the jar and set aside. (Note: You do not want the seeds to be sitting in puddles of water. This will increase the chance of mildew.) Now that the seeds have been soaked, they will begin to grow. You need to rinse them twice a day in fresh water to keep them clean and watered. If you are using a Mason jar or gallon jar, an easy way to keep the seeds in the jar is to put a piece of clean nylon over the opening of the jar. This way, when you rinse and pour the water off, you do not loose your seeds. It is a very technical piece of equipment! Always rinse in water at room temperature. Again, water too hot will kill the seed, and too cold will shut down the speed of the growth. Keep them spread evenly. Continue to wash the seeds twice a day until they are ¾ to 1 inch long. The sprout size will vary depending on the seed, but ¾ to 1 inch is a good average. You will want to grow the seeds in an area that is dark, or at least not in direct sunlight. (In a clean cupboard by the sink is good.) It is a good idea to start a new batch every other day or so. Sprout seeds take 2 to 4 days to grow, depending on the seed type. Starting every day or two allows you to have a constant supply of fresh sprouts available.As discussed in the book "Stop the Stick", sprouting with sulfur provides a natural chelation process that can rid your body of metals.
Sulfur Sprout Chelation
At one point, I had extreme heavy metal toxicity and I did not like the
idea of the EDTA and its side-effects abusing my already sick and weakened
body. I was just looking for something to help without trying to kill me in
the process. I heard about a dentist in California. He used so much mercury in his
practice that he was forced to retire early due to mercury poisoning. He then
traveled to Spain to study mercury processing in an effort to rid himself of
the toxicity. He learned that the mercury processors utilize sulfur to bond to
the metal and carry it out of the slag. After this discovery he began adding
sulfur to his food. This is a disgusting procedure and slow-acting, but
eventually he received relief. When I heard what the dentist had done, I started learning all I could
about sulfur. Sulfur is a mineral and, in its ionic form, is necessary for some
body functions. When ionic sulfur is available from the diet, the sulfur attaches to metals and chemicals. When the liver sees these combinations, it
recognizes the ionic sulfur, but knowing it cannot use the sulfur with
something attached to it, filters it all out and eliminates it.
Ionic sulfur is something that the body uses as a nutrient building
block. Not surprising, the ionic sulfur the body recognizes comes from
plants. I looked everywhere and could not find a supplement of plant source
ionic sulfur. There are certain plants that traditionally have more sulfur than
others; cilantro, squash, spinach, and tomatoes, but how to get them fresh
was a problem. More importantly than that, how could I know if the soil
they were grown in contained sulfur, or if it was depleted? From there I,
decided that I needed to get sulfur and grow it into the food I was eating,
thus making super chelating natural food. I started adding sulfur to the water
that I would soak my sprouts in, growing the sprouts as normal and then
eating them like they were my favorite food.
Week by week, I would look at a sample of my blood, and in a few
months, the metals were gone. This was obviously very exciting, so I started< sharing this information with people who were suffering from metal
poisoning. They all had the same results: A few months of sulfur sprouts
every day, and the metals were going away.
Cost of Sulfur Sprouts
Sulfur $25 Sprouts $15 – $35
• 2 months $50 – $70
Side Effects of Eating Sulfur Sprouts
• Removes metal and other toxins
• Raises pH (helps maintain pH in the safe zone)
• Provides natural vitamins and minerals
• Strengthens the immune system
You get the idea. We all know that eating sprouts is good for us.
Now, we can turn them into a natural chelating food too. The other great
thing about the sulfur sprouts is there are no negative side effects.
