Preparing San Pedro without Heat

[thoughtsUnThought]

hey again friends....another topic my living food fanaticism has spawned.

How viable would a lemon-water extraction be if there was no heat applied...?? I don't want to extract anything, just make an infusion. I was thinking blend the cactus, put it in a cheese cloth, soak it in a bowl of lemon water for a few days (maybe in fridge to prevent spoilage) and then squeeze.

the other method i am considering is juicing the cactus in my intense centrifugal juicer :D lol
i figure it would yield a slime of sorts, but i'm wondering how much would be left in the pulp.

figure i'll just put the pulp into the lemon water, and drink the slime juice first.

any info on this, or suggestions for alternate soaking mediums (organic raw) would be appreciated.

thanks

I'd just boil them man, that way you get all the mescaline possible. You'd probably lose some mescaline doing it the way you described doing it.

i def don't wanna lose anything, but you can probably feel me on the quest of absolutely efficient and clean digestion of the sacred plant. cooked foods are responded to in the body by a leukocytosis response...which is from what i understand an immune system response to something which is deemed 'alien' or 'questionable' by the body. overall, it's a loss of your bodies energy as it flares its white blood cell count to fight off the food as an enemy.

if i can consume the cactus without depleting the enzyme count it will go a lot further in my quest. my use of the cactus, aside from spiritual growth, is as a detoxification helper. and keeping the flesh intact nutritionally is crucial for such

I've eaten straight cactus, which i didn't mind at all. but it took a lot longer than i would like to get down...so i'm searching to obtain a traditional-shamanic infusion of sorts but an evolution on such by keeping the flesh alive..! :D lol, raw food mania i tell ya...but the high would be sooooo clean..!! justified mania in my eyes
