When soaking nuts, why is the salt needed?

Frequently Asked Questions
The salt helps activate enzymes that de-activate the enzyme inhibitors. For grains, we soak in an acidic solution to get rid of phytic acid. Nuts do not contain much phytic acid but do contain high levels of enzyme inhibitors. The method imitates the way the native peoples in Central America treated their nuts and seeds--by soaking them in seawater and then dehydrating them. Try sauerkraut. The recipe in Nourishing Traditions is really great.

What if I just have mild acne? Would 5-10 capsules a day be enough?

Evolution-X -- Frequently Asked Questions
For some people with light acne 5-10 capsules a day is more than adequate. However, this isn't always the case. The B5 threshold must be taken into account. B5's effects tend to be enhanced the most above the 10 capsule per day range. This is because the body must be forced into producing additional coenzyme A in order to be effective. The initial threshold must be reached if you will. This is why we recommend 20 capsules per day until your skin is clear.
