EDITED: Iskiate (chia drink) used by Tarahumara for energy, no-churn ice cream for fun

My seeds are black - it is the only thing available at my store that I order from. I didn't realize that adding anything other than water did anything different? But I "believe" I added the lime to the water in the beginning? Not certain.

I'll check my seeds tonight. They are either Bobs Red Mill or Safeway O Organics.

Ps last year I planted some old seed just to "mulch" it, and they grew! Rather tasty the leaves.

I've decided to test this, as that huge of a progress can't simply be chia. So Saturday I will do my chores without lime/chia, and Sunday I will have it.

Also need to add, I completely forgot but I started a pill that has to do with candida last weekend, so that could have something to do with the boost also. So the above test should rule in or out if it gives me an energy boost. If the lime chia mix doesn't make Sunday better, then I might suspect the candida pill. I'll post back next week!

If the pill was intended to control or eliminate candida (I can't imagine you want to encourage it), wouldn't it be more likely to cause a herx reaction ???

@Strawberry - I'm with @YippeeKi YOW !! here - I took coconut oil for candida some 16 years ago and it hit me very hard with a herx reaction, I ended up having to go very slowly with it, though it ended up being very effective!

Looking forward to your update!

This morning I was a dead battery so I made the chia lime mix. STILL a dead battery. Not sure what to think.

Thanks for the report @Strawberry - I don't know what to think either! There are so many variables with this illness. I'm still drinking this once a day. I was doing 2 x a day but cut back to one. Anyways, no, I don't have boundless energy but I do think its' good for me. I'm also using Cellfood daily, which I think is responsible for me being able to cut my thyroid med in half, and may even cut it a little more. (I'll be getting blood work done soon.)

Are you still taking something for candida? If so, could you be herxing? Like I said above, when I took coconut oil for candida, it knocked me for a loop for about 11 days, hit me very hard, but it did the job.

That was my first thought as well. I think I posted it somewhere above .... worth considering ?
