Good post. How long do you dry the avocado seeds before turning to flour?

I didn't dry them at all. Kept them fresh in the fridge in a covered container and used them within a few weeks. They didn't change much except one was a little bad and I pitched it.

I washed them, and used a sharp knife to cut away the brown peel as it might be an oxalate source and I am sensitive. It also mixes with the color - brown, stays brown. The first time I grated them I left it on and then never used the powder. It turned brown and I pitched it. Food experimentation is fun but is extra time to figure things out.

Thank you. Seems like a great deal of work. Wonder if they would destroy a food processor?

Yes, I think a stronger grinder would be needed. Like a meat grinder on a Kitchen Aid mixer might work.

This is a scary time to be dealing with autoimmunity, or trying to prevent it, considering how dioxins build up in the food chain / in animal fat. And it seems like with autoimmune, if also accounting for histamine and Epstein Barr, there's nothing to eat besides meat and some vegetables ... I was fine eating meat a few times a month, even less, but now I've eliminated almost everything I used to think was relatively healthy. (Rice, beans, goat dairy).

Autoimmunity can come from the covid infectinon, even unjabbed. I had elevated speckled ANA two months after covid, despite early treatment, but not as fully aggressive as should have been. (No "vaccines" (and got covid from another un-"vaccinated" person, it wasn't shedding).

The minute details needed to not trigger autoimmunity are painfully specific. Helpful things like chaga, microingredients in supplements supposedly can void the AIP diet. : (

But I know autoimmunity can be horrible, and I don't want to be dependent on toxic immune suppressants from pharma.

Thanks so much for all the information you freely share with love!

Very welcome 🙏

Yes autoimmunity is horrible, attacking oneself.

I swear by pom peel, but dandelion root has also become a standard and licorice root and Sweet Wormwood extract when things get worse anyway.
