Today is the first day I have no hint of the the pain that was in my lower back and down my left leg for two weeks. Interestingly I brought some of my homemade coffee orange peel ice cream over to my elderly friend last night and after having it my discomfort disappeared and hasn’t returned since. I am assuming it was from the orange peels. Ray Peat talked highly about orange peels calling them a super drug and I’m thinking so myself. I haven’t had any pain to ever try them out to know until now. So this morning I made up a batch of sugar and orange peel syrup to use in my tea and homemade sodas or even to sweeten a bowl of not so sweet fruit with…
“When I get sour oranges I make marmalade from the peels, if they are organic. Shred, soak, cook slowly simmering in water for about an hour before adding sugar, and letting that simmer without boiling until it thickens a little. When it’s cool it thickens more. The peels are rich in antiinflammatory chemicals, more than the juice, and the marmalade is a good way to get sugar with the cottage cheese or parmesan.“ -Ray Peat
My email to Ray Peat…
Me: “Per your recommendation, I have been using orange peels in many places.(I attached pics of some of my places for them). Are other citrus peels beneficial too?”
RP: “I think they are all good, as long as they are organic.” -Ray Peat
Here is another between us…
Me: “You have referred to marmalade as a “super drug”, what are some of the ailments it is good for?”
RP: “Inflammation, which is a component of practically all ailments.”
