cereal sUn tea
The immune supporting action of cereal sun tea is what gives it the power to
generate the sense of well-being and reduces appetite! You can make a silicon rich
sun tea from the ripe ears of oat, barley, millet, sorghum, buckwheat, chickweed
and wheat, or indeed with many wild grasses. Cereal-ear sun tea seems to be even
more energizing and fortifying than wheatgrass itself, stabilizing both mind and
body and eliminating hunger. You get an immediate sense of wellbeing through
the boost to the immune system with silicon, B17 and other factors. It will also
provide you with the cancer fighting agent Beta-glucan. Beta-glucan, the water-
soluble polysaccharide commercially derived from the cell wall of yeast. Beta-glucan
is a natural gum polysaccharide which has anti-tumor and immune effects. Beta-
glucans acts as a free radical scavenger and macrophage stimulator of phagocytosis,
and increases interleukin production. Beta-glucans are most abundant in barley
and oats and also in the bran of other cereal grains buckwheat, wheat, rice and
rye and indeed in wild grasses. As well as the seed heads you can also use chopped
dried or green cereal straw for sun tea. Add some chopped horsetail to your cereal
straw mix, but use the older reeds of horsetail because the younger ones have an
acid taste that is not good for teas, but is great for pills or topical infusions for
the skin. If you don’t have any cereals growing around, then soak some unhulled
cereal berries for 2 hours, throw away the soak water and add these to your sun
tea jar along with the straw. Lemon grass, bamboo shavings, bark of banana stem
and the bark of sugar cane also make great silicon rice sun teas. There is a high
deposition of silicon in the hemicellulose and pectin-rich layers of the cell walls of
the outer layer of sugar cane stems, so this might be a fine source for nutritional
silicon. Solarizing water increases the hydrogen perioxide in the water, which may
contribute to the removal of heavy metals from the body. During winter, to make
sure your herbs are still well brewed in the cold, bring the tea water to the boil first
before placing your sun tea in front of a sunny window. To grow cereal grasses for
sun tea, throw some kamut, wheat, barley, oat and birdseed around the garden
in spring.
otHer silicon soUrces
Plants absorb orthosilicic acid from the soil and convert it into polymerized
silicon for mechanical and structural support. As the silicon from plant extracts
cannot be readily absorbed through the stomach wall, the bioavailability of these
products requires healthy levels of stomach acid in order to produce soluble
orthosilicic acid. Silicon rich foods include: Bamboo sap, algae, onions, beets,
bean sprouts. Silicon is found at high levels in grains such as oats, barley, millet
and rice. Good food sources of silicon include the parts of food which are often
discarded e.g., fruit and vegetable peel, cucumber skins, husks and the ‘stringy’
parts of mango, celery, asparagus, rhubarb, green leafy vegetables, beets, parsnips,
apples, strawberries, grapes, raw almonds, raw sunflower seeds raw flaxseed. Besides
