I am back eating oxalates now (minus spinach and few others) and I do not have problems.

High oxalates diet seem is for Blood Type A.

I do eat organic, with few exceptions. Also I cook the vegetables. No more raw vegan shit for me.

I figured there was a reason why in Italy (vs the China cooking style of preparing vegetables) vegetables are cooked until turn from green to almost brown. It was to kill bacteria.

May be the Chinese never had that issue. Also stir fry is performed at extremely high heat….which allows perhaps in killing bacteria anyway. These are speculations of mine of course and they have no weight. Does boiling vegetables really destroys oxalates??

Going back to eating oxalates saturated vegetables……this trend begun with some guru named Wolfe something something (David?) who INSISTED that drinking celery juice was like DRANO anti clogging for your pipes. Hollywood puppets had the job to promote this craze. That was over a decade ago.

Later there was whole movement of eating raw vegetables. I also became a “rawist” for sometimes…. Funny thing that in the history of man kind nobody really ate raw vegetables or drank juices of them. Vegetables were always mostly cooked because of precautionary reasons: typhoid fever, salmonella, and possible parasites. Hell the water was shit filty often so you had to boil or charcoal them….or else.

Going back to oxalates…..may be they could prevent some type of cancers. May be not.

I developed and oxalates issue when I started a heavy duty supplementation of vitamin C in the form of AKA Ascorbic Acid. We are talking mega doses of 3 gr to 7 gr a day (3000 mg to 7000 mg ).

Again there is another school of thought about mega dosing on vitamin C and its miraculous effects, including a possible treatment for cancer. I took it orally not IV as it is suggested but I do not think is that normal to metabolize via IV.
