Chinese doctors told people to boil spinach between 30 seconds to 1 minute thus to remove oxalate but still keep majority nutrients.

Thank you! That’s good to know. At the moment I am using baby bok Choi, adult bok Choi (just kidding), kale and baby kale, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and other veggies that are already significantly lower have good calcium content. I am nervous about how much oxalate remains in spinach given it’s already one of the highest in the list.

I would love, if you feel comfortable sharing, the table or place where I can look at the vegetables and how to best access their nutrients with cooking. (Apologies, I didn’t see there was more to your email in my screen) I wholeheartedly believe in Chinese medicine as a a complementary method and in some cases alternative method. I practice qigong, my qigong healing practitioners and with it alone and diet and meditation (while still checking in with my doctor) avoided a third laparoscopic surgery as I saw the path I was on if I didn’t make lifestyle and energetic changes. I also healed a frozen shoulder in 4-5 weeks that two physicians (one specialist and one who had same condition) and a pt and other non doctor who had surgery, told me that it takes 18-24 months to heal. So from personal experience - healings like this are possible because I have personally experienced this and other changes in my body. But I work with my doctors, get all my tests and make the smart choices for me, like having an appendectomy instead of being offered the choice of waiting to see if it flares up again - given the randomness of it. I also Al’s myself - what if I could heal faster than what everyone is telling me? There is no guarantee but it doesn’t hurt to put positive messages and outcomes and hope in my brain (but not as a substitution for treatment).
