I use raw pumpkin seeds (available at my healthfood store). They are shelled, but not roasted or salted. I either snack on them plain or toss them in my salad. I am VERY sensitive to them. In fact, a week or so ago, I had about 1/4 cup plain and was ill for the rest of the day. My hubby had to take off work to care for the kids, as I was dizzy, severely nauseaus, and had diarrhea. It was definitely from the pumpkin seeds and was a more severe reaction to similar reactions I've had from eating a lesser amount. I think it was major die-off symptoms from eating them. They are supposed to target tape worms, I believe. I know I have liver flukes and candida, so who knows! I continue to eat them, but only around 2 tablespoons at a time.

Hopefully others can share their wisdom on pumpkin seeds, too. I'm fairly new to all this as well.

Warmest Regards,

Oh, I forgot to mention. Here's a link to when I posted about my experience. Maybe some of the responses received on it would help you to decide?

I put a handful in the blender with some kefir and DE when I make my smoothies and they've never made me ill. Slowly increase them, just in case you are sensitive.

Either way is good. If you can take it without anything you must really have a liking for pumpkin seeds. Otherwise try some honey and water or honey and milk, or youghurt with it. There are probably plenty of recipies.
