I got the lecithin granules that Ted recommends. How do I ingest them? I put some in my morning oatmeal and they cook along with it (melt?). But for the teaspoonsful later in the day? I put some in juice, but had to swallow the grains. I don't eat yogurt. Put some in applesauce and yuck! I don't want to waste it, but maybe warm tea or milk? Don't usually drink milk-it triggers my ibs. The thought of it in tea is repulsive, but I'll do what I must.

Most sunflower lecithin, including NOW non-gmo, are processed with hexane. Lekithos is the only brand I know of that is not. The thick liquid tastes awful, though. I only bought it because it was the only lecithin produced from organic sunflower seeds. They also have powder and granules which are not organic, but they are non-GMO. I am going to try their granules or powder next, which is said to be more bland tasting.

Lecithin Tips

Sue, from Australia;I tried soy milk and I had some problems adjusting to soy, I also can no longer drink regular milk as it too affects me so I have tried dream rice which I seem to tolerate very well.

I am wondering now how important is it really to take the Lecithin? I found that selenium and magnesium with calcium and vit. D is great for the brain/memory.....Thanks & good luck

T from Maryland, USA;

I do agree with you on the dandelion's;I was reading it some where of it's properties, uses and it's benifits. I used to take the capsules with the roots included where I found they are just as good, now I am happy to say that I found dandelions fresh in the super market minus the roots which are just as good but I am happy just the same to find this veggie so good. Thank you.

After reading Ted's info about "pulling oil" with lecithin granules a few weeks ago I started taking 2 tablespoons per day, "drinking" it in my orange juice in the morning and in water in the evening. But I was a bit concerned about the soy intake so I looked online for non-soy varieties. I was unable to find any non-soy lecithin in granular form online. I ended up ordering a jar of pure raw liquid sunflower lecithin and I just braved my first spoonful. It doesn't taste as bad as I thought it would, but the consistency is rather glue-like. It sticks to my lips and teeth.

Wondering if anyone else has used this form of lecithin and if you have any better ideas for conveniently ingesting a full tablespoon twice a day?

Cathy, liquid lecithin can be poured, a spoonful or so, into a smoothie for easy ingestion. It's very gooey, so after I pour it, I wipe the bottle opening with my finger, then wipe my finger with a napkin. It gets the goo off.

Cathy, Now Foods makes a "Sunlecithin" or "Triple Strength Soy Lecithin" in softgels, which are both better than standard soy softgels. I take extra Choline/Inositol to boost the good effects even further without added soy.

I just wanted to know can you add it to foods such as soup or take it straight up?

Would liquid lecithin be just as good as the granulated? Thank you.

EC: We've been meaning to ask Ted exactly that! Thanks for the reminder.

I started sprinkling non-gmo lecithin on my egg breakfast in July (fairly consistently-maybe missed 7 days since). I used to have monthly facial outbreaks. I've had 2 minor OB (I did ICE, h2o2, lysine, vit. C as well) which consisted of a very small pinhead size scabs. I just continue sprinkling. Kinda scared to stop... Lol

To Allison from Houston, Texas,

THANK YOU! Last week I ate 6 greek yogurts in one day! The day after a cold sore appeared this is the worst one yet. It's HUGE. It was going away after I dabbed it with hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol and tea tree oil but I made the mistake of putting neosporin on it before it completely scabbed over.

I just googled aspartame in greek yogurt and sure enough the particular brand I bought contained aspartame!!! Not to mention I was also taking maca capsules. I am getting ready to purchase egg yolk lecithin and use it as part of my regimine which includes lysine, vitamin c , red marine algae, zinc, stress forumula b complex, and some other vitamins.

From now on I will stick to eating PLAIN yougurt.

Concerning Lecithin for Detox: I understand to take granulated lecithin for 5 of 7 days to detox the body from a lifetime of heavy metals, etc. Should this be taken regularly, forever, or just every so often for detox?

Please add a new topic for lecithin. I remember reading some comment from Ted where he mentioned lecithin pushing instead of oil pulling. Cannot find it anywhere. Do we use the lecithin same way as sesame oil or do we just ingest it? Thank you.

Once food has been broken down by acids in the stomach, various enzymes in the small bowel from the gall bladder and pancreas and absorbed into the body' it cannot return to the bowel so I don't know how 'free heavy metals, petroleum etc' supposedly floating around in our bodies causing toxicity can be taken up by these oils, returned to the bowel and excreted. You are talking rubbish!

I worry to take lecithin because soy lecithin is GMO. Will sunflower lecithin work just as well?

How many capsules of Lysine should I take every day. Because I have HSV 1 simplex. And I want to be completely healed from it. So when I go get another test done it will come back negative for herpes. Thanks

Are you saying you took lecithin for 30 days and were cured Or that you take it daily some 20yrs later?
