'Seeds'
Question:
In BTVC it says no seeds until three months after the last symptom
disappears. So, I am wondering if that means to seed all of our fruits
and vegetables until then, and hold off using any spices made from
seeds. I would assume that means definitely no crushed or whole seed
spices, but where I get confused is about some of the finely ground
spices, like cumin or coriander or dry mustard, to name a few. Is
it ok
to use these finely ground seed spices before three months symptom
free,
so long as they don't cause any new symptoms or exacerbate existing
symptoms?

I did not mean seeds such as zucchini squash seeds nor
cucumber seeds. Nor did I mean crushed spices made from seeds. I meant
using a lot of sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds. There were many
reasons
why I said this. Among the reasons were: (1) seeds are nutritious but
do
contain minuscule amounts of cyanide (so does B12) and I didn't want
people
to have them at the start: (2) I was playing defense writing because
people
are told by their doctors that if they have diverticulae in the colon
(diverticulosis), the seeds will get stuck and make them sick (they aren't
told that these diverticulae are pockets of bacteria and what is making
them
sick is all the fermentation going on in these pockets.)
