Bigu on Beans

[SecretGrotto]

How bad would Red Speckled Kidney Beans rate on the Bigu scale, compared to wheat?

 

Taoist Master Wang Liping eats beans, and he promotes a bigu diet for his students during seminars.

 

From Opening the Dragon Gate:

Master Wang Liping only drank a cup of water and ate some strips of bean curd and some bean sprouts.

 

But there are a lot of sources that place beans on the prohibited list, for example:

I've been bigu for the past ten weeks, in its paleo version, which calls for abstaining from nearly all carbs and starches in addition to all grains (i.e. all starchy vegetables like potatoes and root veggies and squashes, most fruit, all sweeteners including the "natural" ones like honey, and all beans -- including all soy products.)

 

The deal is very high fat (mostly animal sources, butter, and quality saturated fat like coconut), moderate protein (from organic grass-fed meats and seafood, partially raw, game if you can lay your hands on it, eggs) and (for those who tolerate it well) fermented dairy (kefir, raw cheeses, preferably sheep and goat), with unlimited nonstarchy vegetables and some berries on the side.

 

I began using well-cooked Red Speckled Kidney beans as a staple this week, and I experienced some very weird symptoms since its consumption, good symptoms I suppose. It was first my Liver that started vibrating, almost like when a muscle involuntarily contracts at a high frequency.

 

This lasted for a couple of minutes. And today my stomach or spleen also started vibrating, and if I remember correctly my small intestine as well.

 

My Eustachian tubes have been periodically 'cramping', almost like it is clearing up. I have had issues with my Eustachian tubes for a long time.

 

And I feel really great. I have a family history of diabetes, and personally I have always experienced lethargy, often resorting to high-GI grain products as a pick-me-up but crashing soon after.

 

I have had a life-long food allergy that I only recently began to realize. My lips have always cracked up, as long as I can remember since being a kid, and the lips would quickly fall off and get replaced normally within two days. I have deep scars on my inner lips from a life-time of damage.

 

If I eat cereal with milk? Forget about it, my lips fall apart like clockwork. I'm thinking that both gluten and dairy are the cause. If I eat egg, I can feel my lips literally growing into thick callous-type skin, which soon detaches from the lower skin layers.

 

So I've now resorted to Beans as a staple, and I feel great. It's still too soon to tell if I have eliminated all food-allergies that make my lips fall apart. But the beans are keeping my energy levels really even, and I get the sense that my body is healing from gluten-damage.

About 10 years ago I was taught about the whole bigu thing (please lets not turn the thread into my supposed improper use of the term this time, thanks). I was told that beans were fine. However on the otherhand, I was also told that it was all about foods which one could naturally obtain as an immortal in the mountains (long term goals I guess ). This came about when I asked about other grains such as quinoa, beans and also about beef jerky.

 

There is also that whole furnace god thing, about cooked grains....

 

But on the otherhand, each of those Chinese folks who live to be over 100 are asked what they eat, and most include rice in their diet....

 

I pretty much live on nuts, fresh fruit, and meat. Perhaps that should be fish, but no one is perfect right? I still cheat and have 2 meals per week with grains, corn tortillas or rice. I love gorbanzo beans, so often I will eat those instead of meat. I don't feel nearly as good when I eat rice or rice base noodles, and since rice if the main food they put you on for the elimination diet (starting eating only rice, chicken and peas) to see which foods work well with you and which don't, I doubt it's an allergy thing.

 

Sooo notice that whole brain fog that you used to get once in awhile doesn't happen anymore?

 

I think I'm going to get more beans.
