No

No, by his rules. He never ruled on this food directly. The verdict follows from his rules.

Why prickly pear is off the list

Hard seeds and rough fibre scratch your gut lining on the way through, then come out barely digested. Kiwi and raw carrot are out for the same reason.

Hard seeds and rough fibre

Did the doctor say this himself?

Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
