SOAKING AND SPROUTING
Nature has set it up so that the nut, grain and seed may survive until proper growing conditions are present. Nature’s defense mechanism includes nutritional inhibitors and toxic substances that can be removed naturally when there is enough precipitation to sustain a new plant after the nut, grain or seed germinates. When it rains the nut, grain or seed gets wet and can then germinate to produce a plant. So we are mimicking nature when we soak our nuts, grains and seeds.

Throwing up in the middle of the night due to stomach pain and nausea was routine. Adverse reactions to harsh prescription medications were common. Early morning visits to the ER were ordinary. And once I became a teenager, the start of my menstrual period signaled that I’d spend days confined to my bed.
Throughout my childhood, I attended India’s notoriously demanding and strict schools—unless you’re on your deathbed, you’d better be in your seat at the start of class. Every month, before the onset of my period, I’d ramp up my studies because I knew that once my cycle was in full swing, I wouldn’t be able to attend school and focus on my intense course load. Looking back, I’m amazed how I managed to do well enough
