Our teleclass last week was amazing! I had the privilege of talking with Dr. Edward Group about the toxins in our environment and how they impact our health.
Having studied natural healing methods for over 20 years, he shared with us how we can begin to identify and then eliminate toxins from our home and diet.
Bio Yummy Pizza minus the Pepperoni or Italian Sausage
This Pizza has been a huge hit this summer at our place! I used Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Tortillas for the crust, so no more thick, gluey crust that makes you feel bloated!
Last Week I interviewed Dr. Gloria Gilbere, Author of “Pain/Inflammation Matters” In this interview we focused on Inflammation:
Food additives are to blame for a lot of inflammatory responses in the body. During my interview with Dr Gloria, One of the questions I asked her, was about Carrageenan: Food Additive & Aircraft De-icer!
We all know that our food today is low in nutrients and high in calories and chemicals, but did you know that the average North American consumes approximately 150 pounds of food additives per year?
How dangerous are these chemicals? Here are a few things they’re responsible for:
Here’s an insert of an interview I did with Dr. Betty Martini a few weeks ago~ some new research I’ll be adding in my Sugar Free lifestyle.
Dr. Martini is the founder of Mission Possible World Health International. This is an organization committed to removing the deadly chemical, aspartame.
Within the last couple of generations, we have markedly changed the way that we consume foods and, at this point, we are setting ourselves up for a great many serious, long term Problems.
The nutrients we need are removed from processed foods — basically anything that comes in a box, can or jar. Read More
I always encourage people to eat a more vegetarian / live food diet. That means staying away from animal protein if at all possible. But, if you want to keep meat in your diet, try to do it in the healthiest way possible. When it comes to eating beef, I strongly recommend that you consume only “organic” and “grass-fed” beef. It makes a world of difference to your body because beef that you purchase in the grocery stores, even corn-fed beef, is filled with antibiotics and growth hormones.
In the article “What About Grass-Fed Beef?” Read More
Here are a few things you can do if your skin is dry in the winter time.
For a period of time you can reduce the fats in your diet if you have been eating too much processed and cooked fats. Too much fat can overload the liver, causing the skin to become very dry.
Eliminating or reducing the fats for 1-2 weeks gives the liver some rest and allows it to cleanse.
Interestingly enough, if you do not have enough fats, the same thing can occur – the skin can become too dry. Make sure you eat raw fats 4-6 times per week.
This can be in the form of low-temperature pressed oils (2-3 tbsp. 1-2x daily) from olives, flax, hemp and pumpkin seeds, avocados, olives (10-12 olives 3-4x week), coconut, raw nuts and seeds (1-3 tbsp. 4-5x week).
Avocado Caraway Dressing:
dash to 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan or Celtic Salt dash cayenne 1 cup kalamata olive water or blessed water with a dash of Celtic or Himalayan salt. Blend all ingredients together in high-powered blender. Serve 1-2.
Last year, I start gardening. Let me tell you, I can’t get enough. I think I’ve purchased every gardening book available, so it’s a work in progress.
Here’s some pictures of my results. My salad never tasted so good. The sunflower sprouts are doing amazing in the green house, and all the vegetables are ready! I’ll start a new crop in a few weeks.
What you see is chard, kale, mustard green, sorrel, mixed lettuce for salad, tomatoes and cucumber. They’re all coming along great – lots of herbs – you name it, it’s there.
My juice and salads never tasted so good, especially when the ingredients are fresh from the garden, without chemical additives!
~The chemical, acrylamide, which is used industrially in the manufacturing of some plastics, is also apparently formed by the heating of starches. Foods with especially high levels of the chemical included French fries, potato chips and crackers.
~After being inside the body for 20 minutes, Aspartame begins breaking down from its original compound into methanol, formaldehyde (a Class-A carcinogen used to embalm corpses) and formic acid (ant venom).
~Over 70% of the world’s coffee supply is contaminated with toxic pesticides and chemicals. It’s estimated that just one cup of coffee contains more than 2,000 chemicals, many of which are gastrointestinal irritants and cancer-causing agents. Also, the high heat used in roasting coffee beans causes the natural oils to turn rancid, further contributing to its chemical load. READ MORE
