Unfortunately after trying several times I find that I don't tolerate nuts - anyone else have this problem? I break out in nasty cold sores which I treat with massive doses of the amino lysine. It seems my best foods are meats , fish vegetables and some fruit - a true hunter??   |

It may be something that goes away with time. I used to get those sores on my tongue or the insides of my cheeks when I ate certain nuts and other foods (but only sometimes--it was inconsistent), but the longer I was on the diet the less they bothered me, and now they don't affect me at all. |

Speedy, it could be the mold on the nuts that's giving you trouble. Have you tried soaking them overnight? Put a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide in the soak water, then rinse the nuts in the morning and put them on a cookie sheet on paper towels, spread out in a single layer. You can either put them in the oven on 'warm', or let them sit out to dry. I do this with walnuts and it's made a big difference. Hope this is helpful to you |

nuts are high in arginine....Lysine is the amino acid used to help cold sores....Cold sores are a form of herpes...You need a balance of amino acids i.e arginine to lysine. If you're too high in arginine and too low in lysine, you might be subject to a herpes outbreak like cold sores. If you're going to eat nuts, you need to eat foods high in lysine for balance. http://www.herpes-coldsores.com/diet_and_nutrition_with_herpes.htm |

It well be mould as I was getting a raging attack of allergic rhinitus as well. The walnuts did taste a bit bitter. I was grinding them and adding prunes and goji berries all ground up - then making little trail mixes = I'm sorry to say that the last batch went in the dustbin. |
