Raw Chef Denise Girard's Recipe of the Month (Nov., 2011)

Dr. Johanna Budwig was a German doctor who discovered that the majority of chronic illnesses are caused by mass produced foods and oils, bad nutrition and pesticides. She found that combining high-quality protein with high-quality Omega-3 fatty acids makes the fats water soluble. This allows essential fatty acids to reach deeper at the cellular level.

What is interesting is that the new research on Vitamin D shows something similar -- it is fat soluble when ingested through the mouth but water soluble when we get it through direct sunlight, becoming D-Sulphate, which reaches deeper to the cellular level. I promise you, if done properly, you will feel the effects rather quickly of this luscious breakfast.
