From what goes into it, I would say this is very good for you.
I'd like to try it sometime...............

ooooer, that looks like something that'd be great for cleaning out the bowels.

I'll try and make a few and get back to you on that one...

Wait... uhhh, what's cornmeal? Do they even sell that outside of america?

It's just dried corn that's been grinded to a consistancy of something like salt or sugar.



Dictionary.com says it's coarsely ground corn.
You should be able to get that anywhere on planet Earth.


Hey nrky, I see you managed to get over the 200 posts.

Please let us know if you liked it and if it perked you up. Some advice on its preparation. The heat has to be low and it has to be constantly stirred after the cornmeal is added. It burns real quick if this is not done.
Judging from its ingredients, it must be some sort of dish from the Arabian desert; after all it was given to Edgar Cayce ( The Sleeping Prophet of America ), by an Egyptian mummy in a dream

I don't think anyone ever mentions Casey said it should be taken with milk.

I've been taking it on and off for years. If your feeling fragile or run down it boosts your inner strength substantially for about 3 days. I like to say it gives me intestinal fortitude in the literal sense.

BTW, I've given the recipe a twist by combining the ingredients in a blender including the milk. Basically making it a shake. I think the cooking may have been the method of softening and the blender certainly does that.

Beware; it gives you a lot of, for lack of a better word, flatulence for about 6 hours.

Yes, I totally agree with the blender preparation, better than cooking, it breaks the cell walls as efficiently and does not kill the nutrients, proteins, amino acids... I don't think though that adding casein is a good idea, even more given the pasteurization and what cows eat nowadays, I'd definitely stay away from milk...
Also I don't know at what temperature the figs, dates and corn are dried, probably it has nothing to do with what the mummy used to get. I'd say it might be a good idea to dehydrate yourself at no more than 108 F... Then you'd probably get quite good stuff...
