I keep learning of more and more people who take a supplement of HCI (hydrocloric acid) to help with their stomach acids.
Water content in God's created foods is high as compared to most of the foods we eat. So when Adam and Eve ate, there was quite a bit of liquid that went into their stomachs and maybe just helped slosh the food around and helped mix up the gastric acids in the digestion process.
At breakfast, I thought about what the people in the world eat today and how the stomach would look after - dry, dry, dry!! It's trying to make the gastric acids but it would be just this big blob of chewed food (and sometimes not so chewed). So the parts of the stomach that make these things would be squished, crowded -- unable to perform their tasks as they should. And what little they did make could not be mixed in sufficiently.
I was doing laundry while eating and the analogy came that it would be a bit the same if I put just the soap into the washer with the clothes but no water. I have an energy efficient one that doesn't need much water but surely does a good job so in the analogy the water in the stomach would not have to be lots.
And then what the world teaches about not drinking water with our meals came to mind.
Could it be we need the liquid when we eat? The world teaches us that we need to be drinking LOTS of water. Maybe more of that needs to be with what we eat. The world sometimes teaches that we should drink 1/2 hour before a meal to help curb hunger but even that would be processed before we loaded that ole stomach up.
Years ago I always drank with my meals and I was fit and trim. Of course I was younger, too; but when I adopted the world's thinking of not drinking with meals, things were different.
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm
I'm going to be drinking more water with my meals! And just so you know, to me the other things the world has us drink with our meals would not be the same.

"All grain is ordained for the use of man,...to be the staff of life....
All grain is good for the food of man;...--
Nevertheless, wheat for man...."
Doctrine and Covenants 89: 14, 16-17 (Known as the Word of Wisdom)
Our Blog Names
While playing around, we happened upon names that mean wheat. We kind of liked them so we adopted them as our blog names. We'll be signing our blogs with our "wheat" names.
Gwenith - Welch (female) is Honeybee
Basak - Turkish (female) is Grandma
Zea - Latin (female) is Walkers
Gwenith - Welch (female) is Honeybee
Basak - Turkish (female) is Grandma

OUR QUEST
Basak: My quest is to understand and know why the Lord said, "Nevertheless, wheat for man". I want to know how to prepare and use it in the Lord's ways and thus, it will taste good and our families will want to eat it. I want to know why the word "nevertheless" was used, how much we need and why. My quest is to know it all.
Gwenith: Several months ago, the thought came to me. How will we eat in the Millennium? That sounds funny, I know, but what I mean when I say that is, 'What is a higher law of health and nutrition and how can I eat that way using my food storage?' This is what I am working on.
Zea: My quest... to learn and live the word of wisdom so that me and my family will be blessed to live a healthy life. In this process I've ended up having several "sub" quests, such as learning more about grains, herbs, what things in our diet and life are created by "evil and conspiring men", and needless to say one subject leads to another. Right now I'm trying to put the knowledge I've gathered so far (while still gathering more) into practice for me and my family... not an easy task when you have a picky eater!
And as we pursue our quests, we desire to help others.

A LITTLE ABOUT US
I'm Basak (Grandma). I'm married to a wonderful husband who spoils me and puts up with all my kitchen lab work and in my working to serve others. We have four wonderful children and they have blessed us with sixteen grandchildren. I always seem to be learning something new and I love it.
I met Gwenith a few years ago and she's become a very dear friend. We found we were kindred sisters in the preparedness world. We now live miles apart and yet, the kindred has never dwindled. When we talk, we find we always seem to be going down the same road in the thought process - a miracle in itself.
I'm Gwenith (Honeybee). I have a wonderful husband and two boys who are my jewels. I have known since serving a proselyting/welfare mission years ago that the Lord wanted me to be involved in the 'Provident Living' side of things.
The last several years have been an amazing learning adventure and I thank the Lord for allowing me to be an instrument in His hands in any way. Thank goodness I have a friend to share this adventure with -- Basak. Though Basak seems my peer, not my elder, I lean heavily on her wisdom, experience and most of all her strong spirituality. She is an example to me. My efforts to becoming closer to the Lord have benefited from watching her. Thank you, friend!
