Better than a Dentist: 10 Ways to Heal Your Teeth</span><br />
<br />
A healthy mouth begins with nutrients<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
What is tooth decay?</span><br />
Like other plagues of the 21st century, including heart disease, autoimmunity, and diabetes, tooth decay results from chronic stress and nutrient deficiencies.<br />
To understand the relationship between nutrition and tooth decay, one must understand how cavities are formed.<div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br />
How teeth decay and cavities form</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
1. Consider your enamel – the hard, protective coating on your teeth – like tightly packed cardboard boxes. The minerals calcium and phosphorous fill the boxes, making them strong. When the boxes are not filled with these minerals, the enamel weakens and wears away.<br />
2. Every time you eat a carbohydrate, it feeds native bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria produce the byproduct lactic acid which, when left on the tooth, causes demineralization. This is called acid erosion.<br />
3. Remineralization occurs when saliva neutralizes the acidic environment. This triggers the teeth to strengthen those cardboard boxes of enamel with minerals.<br />
4. Loss of enamel results when demineralization outperforms remineralization. Nutrient deficiencies and excess intake of carbohydrate pave the way for enamel degradation.<br />
5. Acidic beverages notoriously demineralize teeth. The most common offenders include soda and lemon water. (Drink your morning lemon water through a straw) Rinsing the mouth after drinking something acidic can help. (that, and simply avoid soda).<br />
6. Sensitive teeth often results from acid erosion. Enamel demineralization exposes nerve endings in the teeth, creating a sensitivity to cold, hot, acidic and sticky food.<br />
7. Cavities result when acid erosion eats through the layer of enamel into the underlying soft tissue.<br />
Is it possible to restore enamel and heal cavities?<br />
Sensitive teeth, tooth decay and even cavities have been healed nutritionally. When enamel is gone, it is gone. Those cardboard boxes have disintegrated and cannot be rebuilt. The remaining boxes, however, can be strengthened to protect the soft tissues of the teeth. The restoration of remaining enamel is often effective enough to reverse cavities.<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
The Marriage of Dentistry and Nutrition</span><br />
Dr. Weston Price, a dentist who identified and articulated the relationship between a traditional diet and oral health. A dentist, Dr. Price traveled the world to discover the secrets of healthy people and found that nutrient-rich diets dictated oral health. Cultures adhering to the traditional, local diets of their ancestors had almost no tooth decay, even though they didn’t practiceoral hygiene.<br />
When their ancestors consumed a nutrient-rich diet, and the children themselves consumed nutrient-dense foods from birth, children were physically strong, mentally healthy, had strikingly beautiful bone structure, and indiscernable levels of tooth decay:<br />
When parents strayed from the traditional diets of their tribes and when children grew up consuming refined foods, it led to poor bone structure and tooth decay:<br />
The following nutritional recommendations are inspired by the work of Dr. Price outlined in his landmark Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. After his travels, Dr. Price began treating his dental patients through dietary recommendations before dental work.<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
Below are the nutritional and oral care steps to support remineralization and a healthy mouth.</span><br />
Step 1: Restore enamel naturally with nutrition</div><div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
1. Eliminate refined sugar and grains</span><br />
According to a study in the British Medical Journal, cavities and tooth decay can potentially be reversed with nutrition. Participants in this study who ate a grain free diet supplemented with vitamin D showed a dramatic healing in their cavities. The group of participants who ate a diet high in grains, however, continued to form cavities.<br />
Not only does the starch content of grains feed the acid-producing bacteria, grains house a compound called phytic acid. Phytic acid is an anti-nutrient which blocks the absorption of minerals including calcium. Traditional cultures across the globe inherently knew how to better access the minerals in grains by soaking and fermenting the grains. Fermented grain products such as old-fashioned sourdough can be easier to digest, but I recommend a completely grain free lifestyle to address tooth decay.</div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br />
2. Emphasize Fat-Soluble Vitamins</span><br />
Dr. Price found that the health-promoting diets of traditional cultures contained 10 times the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K2) than the cultures subsisting on refined foods. Fat-soluble vitamins play a crucial role in remineralization because they help the body absorb minerals.<br />
In the protocol Dr. Price’s implemented to heal tooth decay in children, he fed them one “reinforced meal” six days a week. This meal emphasized the following foods, all extremely high in fat-soluble vitamins:<br />
<br />
Cold-pressed cod liver oil – 1/2 teaspoon per meal<br />
High-vitamin butter, which came from grass-grazing cows – 1/2 teaspoon, plus additional grassfed butter in the meal<br />
Raw, grassfed milk – two glasses per meal<br />
To obtain fat-soluble vitamins in your home-cooked meals, enjoy the following sources:<br />
Grassfed ghee, used as your primary cooking fat. Ghee is lactose-free and virtually casein-free, so it is tolerated by those who may not do well with dairy (but is not suitable for those with true casein allergies).<br />
Cold-pressed cod liver oil, taken as a supplement.<br />
Grassfed raw milk, if you tolerate dairy products<br />
Pasture-raised lamb, pork, and beef – particularly the fatty cuts of meat and the organs.</div><div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
3. Consume Enough Minerals</span><br />
We need to provide the body with the raw ingredients – Calcium and Phosphorus – for remineralization. Dr. Price’s reinforced meals for addressing tooth decay contained about 1.48 grams of calcium and 1.28 grams of phosphorus. The accepted requirement for these minerals were only .68 grams of calcium and 1.32 grams of phosphorus.<br />
The children in the treatment group enjoyed the following mineral-rich main courses in their reinforced meals:<br />
Organ meats from pasture-raised animals<br />
Fish chowder (likely made with mineral-rich fish stock) or<br />
Meat stews, fortified with bone marrow<br />
Dr. Price’s nutritional program of one fortified meal per day “completely controlled the dental caries of each member of the group.” (Source.)<br />
For more details and case studies on addressing tooth decay with these three nutritional principles, I recommend the book Heal Tooth Decay by Dr. Ramiel Nagel.</div><div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
4. Support Nutrient Assimilation</span><br />
We are not what we eat. We are the nutrients our body absorbs. Compromised digestion inhibits the<br />
absorption of Calcium and Phosphorous from our food. If we can’t absorb these minerals, our teeth can’t use them for remineralization.<br />
Consider stomach acid the digestive fire that converts your food into fuel . It’s not surprising that 90% of Americans are likely deficient in this gastric juice, since stress, medications, and nutrient deficiencies all impair stomach acid. <br /></div><div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
5. Stop Snacking</span><br />
Snacking not only takes a toll on the digestive system (those organs demand a break for rejuvenation), a constant intake of food may impede the remineralization process. Snacking on carbohydrate-rich foods gives those mouth bacteria constant fuel and may prevent saliva from restoring the mouth pH.<br />
Our evolutionary roots indicate that we are designed to eat larger quantities of food, less frequently, and in social mealtime settings. If you find yourself snacking between meals, it likely indicates the following imbalances:<br />
A daily blood-sugar-rollercoaster due to the consumption of high glycemic foods.<br />
Inadequate intake of nutrients, particularly healthy fats, at meals.<br />
Deeply-ingrained lifestyle patterns, such as social snacking in the workplace or boredom snacking in front of the TV.<br />
Step 2: Support enamel restoration with oral care</div><div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
6. Practice Oil Pulling</span><br />
If I wanted to entertain my tongue for 15 minutes, I’d much prefer eating or kissing than swishing around a tablespoon of oil. The first time I tried oil pulling, an Ayurvedic technique for improving gum and teeth health, I managed only a few minutes before my gag reflex insisted that I spit out the oil. But nobody ever said holistic health was always convenient, and I was determined to give this healing technique a significant trial period before I discounted it.<br />
Within just a few days, I was able to oil pull for a full 15 minutes. I no longer oil pull regularly, but I do recommend it for those who need to go the extra mile to support healthy teeth. Oil pulling moisturizes the gums and helps remove bacterial build-up. You can use plain coconut oil or sesame oil, but I use this Daily Swish Oil Pulling Blend. For instructions on Oil Pulling, check out Wellness Mama’s tutorial.</div><div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
7. Avoid Fluoride in Dental Care and Toothpaste</span><br />
Fluoride is a neurotoxin. It does not belong in your toothpaste, your mouth, or your water supply. The FluorideAction Network points out the following:<br />
Contrary to popular belief, countries with fluoridated water do not have lower levels of tooth decay.<br />
By FDA definition, fluoride is medicine, but it is not FDA approved. “With fluoridation, we are adding to the water a prescription-strength dose of a drug that has never been approved by the FDA,” FAN notes.<br />
50 studies have linked fluoride exposure with lower IQ in children.</div><div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
8. Avoid Glycerine in Oral Care</span><br />
Many holistic dentists err on the side of avoidance when using glycerine in oral hygiene. Dr. Gerard Judd is most commonly cited by those who recommend avoidance of glycerine. According to Dr. Judd’s albeit controversial statements, this slippery, thick emulsifier can create a coating on teeth that may impede the remineralization process. When this was brought to my awareness, I was please that Earthpaste is free of this controversial ingredient.<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
9. Use a Tongue Scraper</span><br />
Unlike oil pulling, I comply diligently with the Ayurvedic practice of tongue scraping. I use a Ayurvedic Tongue Scraper each morning after brushing my teeth. It can help lessen the bacterial load in the mouth by removing debris and bacteria build-up.<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">
10. Choose the Right Toothpaste</span><br />
I’ve used Earthpaste for the last four years because each ingredient is a safe and active ingredient for dental health.<br />
Mineral-rich clay provides cleansing qualities to remove build-up and bacteria, while supporting the proper pH of the mouth.<br />
Unprocessed salt offers gentle abrasion to polish teeth, as well as anti-bacterial properties.<br />
Tea tree oil fights the bacteria that lead to acid erosion.<br />
Essential oils add natural flavor without artificial ingredients.<br />
Xylitol is a natural sweetener recommended by dentists because it may impair bacteria from sticking to the teeth. Earthpaste sources non-GMO xylitol. I don’t use xylitol as a sweetener in my food, but I believe it is an excellent ingredient in oral care. Earthpaste also offers a non-sweetened, xylitol-free option.</div><div><br /></div><div>A healthy mouth means a healthy body.</div><div>Good Health to you!</div><div>

I added in HCL, pancreatic enzymes, bile and other enzymes. I was faithful to take these supplements with each meal. When I thought I was doing well, I cut back on the amount I was taking. Overtime I feel like I have filled up my enzyme bank and don't need to take as much or as often. </p><p><br /></p><p> 1. Digestion and hormones - The health of your digestion is CRITICAL</p><p>for overall health as well as your hormone balance. I've personally</p><p>never met a person struggling with digestive issues (such as</p><p>bloating, constipation, IBS, loose stools, gas and acid reflux) and</p><p>enjoying excellent overall health and balanced hormones.</p><p>2. Stomach acid - There’s a difference between enzymes and stomach</p><p>acid. These issues are addressed in one of the articles linked below,</p><p>and I also want to show you how to test for stomach acid at home.</p><p>3. Digestive Enzymes - These can turn your digestive health around</p><p>substantially (more on that below, plus the very information-rich and</p><p>inspiring interview with Steve Wright). This is especially relevant if</p><p>you suffer from many food sensitivities and chronic bloating.</p><p>How digestion impacts your hormones</p><p>Your gut is like the Grand Central station in your body because it’s where</p><p>processes such as the absorption of nutrients, immune responses, and</p><p>energy production occur. As hormone production also takes place there,</p><p>an unhealthy leaky gut can compromise or shake up your levels of:</p><p>Estrogen: A leaky gut does not effectively excrete “dirty” estrogens (they</p><p>are antagonistic metabolites) out of your body. Instead, they stay in</p><p>circulation, causing Estrogen Dominance.</p><p>Estrobolome: This is a subset of bacteria in the gut that helps to</p><p>metabolize estrogens and disarm the “dirty” estrogens (which are the</p><p>harmful estrogen metabolites) that cause cancers in the thyroid, breast and ovaries.</p><p><br /></p><p>How to test stomach acid level at home</p><p> Most people with leaky gut have a host of estrogen</p><p>problems.</p><p>Thyroid hormones: Part of your conversion of T4 thyroid hormone into the</p><p>stronger, more active T3 form, occurs in your gut—but may be</p><p>compromised if your gut is unhealthy.</p><p>Chronic inflammation of hormone receptors: Chronic digestive distress</p><p>leads to chronic inflammation. This long-lasting inflammation shuts down</p><p>hormone receptors making the update of hormones highly inefficient.</p><p>Inflammation is also the root cause of various conditions, including</p><p>diabetes, heart disease, and hormonal imbalances.</p><p>Sleep and mood hormones: Around 80-90% of serotonin (your happiness</p><p>hormone) and melatonin (which induces sleep and is produced from</p><p>serotonin, in total darkness) are made in your gut. That production can go</p><p>haywire due to a leaky gut. Poor sleep makes hormone imbalances</p><p>worse.</p><p>Insulin levels: The healthier your gut function, the more stable your blood</p><p>glucose, the less you crave sugar and the less insulin you release. On the</p><p>flip-side, an unhealthy gut can predispose you to insulin resistance, where</p><p>your energy cycle doesn’t work properly, which also reduces your ability to</p><p>burn fat.</p><p>Appetite hormones: An inflamed, unhealthy gut promotes unhealthy</p><p>bacteria that can change your levels of ghrelin (which makes you hungry)</p><p>and leptin (which signals when you’re full). It can also impact the food you</p><p>crave and your taste receptors.</p><p>Here are a few helpful resources on digestion:</p><p>Learn why digestion is so important in hormone health.</p><p>Find out if you have sufficient stomach acid.</p><p>The importance of sufficient stomach acid</p><p>Stomach acid, or Hydrochloric acid (HCl), is secreted by the stomach to</p><p>help digest and absorb proteins and other nutrients that we consume in our</p><p>diet. HCl also serves to protect us by killing various pathogenic</p><p>microorganisms (parasites, yeast, bacteria) that might otherwise cause</p><p>infection in the digestive tract.</p><p>Sufficiently digested food is key for giving the body the nutrients it needs to</p><p>function well, including producing hormones.</p><p>How to test your stomach acid levels at home</p><p>Method 1: Baking soda test (easy but not the most accurate)</p><p>You can very easily do this test at home.</p><p>1. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 4-6 ounces of cold or room</p><p>temperature water first thing in the morning, before eating or drinking</p><p>anything.</p><p>2. Drink the baking soda solution.</p><p>3. Time how long it takes you to belch.</p><p>4. If you do not belch within 3 minutes, stop timing.</p><p>5. If you do not belch, you have too little stomach acid. If you belch, you</p><p>are fine.</p><p>This is not the most effective test and it often produces false negatives</p><p>(meaning, it makes you think you have sufficient stomach acid). I,</p><p>therefore, recommend Method 2 below.</p><p>Method 2: The HCl pill test (recommended method)</p><p>The idea here is to dose the HCl pills until you feel a slight discomfort in</p><p>your stomach. When I was low on stomach acid (due to the bacteria</p><p>h.pylori), I had to take as many as seven pills to feel the warmth.</p><p>1. On Day One, start with one capsule (usually 500 to 750mg) of HCl,</p><p>at the beginning of each meal. Note: This means a full meal, not a</p><p>snack.</p><p>2. Watch for any feelings of warmth, discomfort, pain or burning in the</p><p>throat or stomach.</p><p>3. If you experience any of these symptoms after just one capsule, do</p><p>not take any more pills.</p><p>4. If these symptoms are NOT present, go to the next step.</p><p>5. On Day Two, increase your dose by one capsule (this would be two</p><p>capsules for a total of 1,000 to 1,500 mg for day two) of HCl at the</p><p>beginning of each full meal. If you feel any of the symptoms</p><p>mentioned above (warmth, discomfort, pain or burning in your throat</p><p>or stomach) decrease your dose to the level at which you had no</p><p>symptoms and maintain this dose.</p><p>6. If you do not feel these symptoms go to the next step.</p><p>7. On Day Three, increase your dose as previously described. Each day</p><p>increase the dose until you feel a warming sensation or until you</p><p>reach a dose of seven capsules per meal. Do not take more than</p><p>eight (8) capsules with a meal.</p><p>Hopefully this article will help with any digestive isssues.</p><p>Good Health to You</p>Suzannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06119538279357495489noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7319735829010753353.post-61720361329928389312022-03-05T11:30:00.000-05:002022-03-05T11:30:17.033-05:00<p><br /></p><p>I came across this article and felt I had to share with you. It is definitely something to cook this winter.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The Ancient Healing Elixir that Boosts Health and</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Immunity</span></p><p>thetruthaboutcancer.com/bone-broth-nutrition</p><p>Bone broth is an amazing nutritious substance that while certainly not new, is steadily</p><p>gaining in popularity with a whole new generation of cooks and health & fitness enthusiasts.</p><p>Even celebrities are speaking out about the benefits of bone broth nutrition. Actresses</p><p>Gwyneth Paltrow and Salma Hayek are just a few of the celebs who have publicly</p><p>proclaimed the numerous health benefits of this ancient savory recipe.</p><p>In fact, many people are calling bone broth “nature’s multivitamin” as it contains</p><p>multiple minerals and other chemical compounds that most people are lacking in their diet.</p><p>For example, bone broth is packed with:</p><p>Over 19 easy-to-absorb, essential and non-essential amino acids (the building blocks of</p><p>proteins)</p><p>Collagen/gelatin which helps form connective tissue and promotes strong hair and</p><p>nails</p><p>Nutrients that support your immune system, good digestion, and brain health</p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">How to Make Bone Broth</span></p><p>As the name implies, bone broth is made by simmering animal bones for several</p><p>hours to release the nutrients found in the bones, cartilage, and marrow.</p><p>Vegetables, herbs, and spices are often added for flavor, along with a dash of vinegar to help</p><p>draw the nutrients from the bones. The resulting broth can be consumed alone, used as a</p><p>soup base, or added to sauces and other dishes.</p><p>Bone broth can be made from any type of animal bones, either cooked or raw. These include</p><p>chicken & other types of poultry, beef, lamb, wild game, and fish. The only real difference in</p><p>preparing different types of bone broth is the amount of time that the bones need to be</p><p>simmered. A broth made with fish bones, for example, only needs to simmer for a few hours,</p><p>while beef bones need to simmer for 48 hours or more to draw the maximum nutrients from</p><p>the bones.</p><p>The most important consideration when making bone broth is the quality of the ingredients</p><p>used. Bones from factory farmed animals that have been given hormones and antibiotics are</p><p>not a good choice. Look for the highest quality, organic sources available for all of</p><p>your bone broth ingredients.</p><p>6 Beneficial Nutrients Found in Bone Broth</p><p>1. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) – support collagen and elastin production which is</p><p>good for the structure of the body, skin, hair, and nails. GAGs also aid in digestive</p><p>health by helping to restore the intestinal lining. Important GAGs found in bone broth</p><p>include glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate.</p><p>2. Glucosamine (hydrochloride and sulfate) – Supports joint strength and mobility</p><p>by helping to maintain the integrity of cartilage (the rubbery substance within joints</p><p>that acts as a natural cushion to keep bones from rubbing together). Bone broth can be</p><p>a delicious and easy alternative to expensive glucosamine supplements for supporting</p><p>joint health.</p><p>3. Hyaluronic Acid – supports healthy tissues, including cell rejuvenation and skin</p><p>firmness. Hyaluronic acid is a common ingredient in anti-aging skin care products.</p><p>Bone broth provides the benefits from the inside out!</p><p>4. Chondroitin Sulfate – Often used along with glucosamine to support joint health.</p><p>Studies have shown that supplementing with chondroitin supports healthy</p><p>inflammation response as well as cardiovascular health, bone health, skin health, and</p><p>healthy cholesterol levels</p><p>5. Minerals and Electrolytes – Essential minerals, including electrolytes, found in</p><p>bone broth include calcium, magnesium, and potassium, as well as many other</p><p>minerals such as phosphorus. These minerals are important for supporting healthy</p><p>circulation, bone density, nerve signaling functions, heart health, and digestive health.</p><p>6. Collagen – Quality bone broth is a good source of collagen which has a number of</p><p>important functions in the body. These include helping to form connective tissue</p><p>(allowing for easier movement) and protecting and sealing the lining of the</p><p>gastrointestinal tract. Collagen is a complex protein that is a rich source of 19 amino</p><p>acids, many of which must be obtained from diet.</p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Bone Broth Nutrition for Cancer Patients</span></p><p>Bone broth is very high in both protein and nutrients and may be exceptionally beneficial for</p><p>people with cancer.</p><p>Cancer patients who undergo conventional cancer treatments (surgery, chemo, and</p><p>radiation) often experience a range of issues that impact eating. These can include: nausea,</p><p>vomiting, headache, tiredness, sore mouth and/or throat, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing,</p><p>loss of appetite, and changes in taste and smell of food.</p><p>After surgery, for example, the body requires extra calories and protein for wound healing</p><p>and recovery. However, this is also when most cancer patients have pain and feel tired and</p><p>often don’t feel up to eating. Bone broth is a great solution because it provides maximum</p><p>nutrition in an easy-to-swallow form that is easily digested. This is in contrast to</p><p>many other foods (especially solids) which can be difficult to fully break down.</p><p>The broth can be sipped alone, or turned into a base for soup to which you can add other</p><p>cancer-fighting ingredients (i.e. organic vegetables, turmeric root, ginger, etc). For cancer</p><p>patients who are experiencing a change in taste (or have lost their sense of taste) due to</p><p>chemotherapy or radiation, herbs and spices can be easily added to enhance the flavor of the</p><p>bone broth and make it more palatable.</p><p>Conversely, in The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest, Dr. Russell Blaylock addressed the</p><p>topics of L-glutamine and glutamate in relation to cancer. L-glutamine is an amino acid</p><p>found in abundance in both plant and animal protein and is converted to glutamate</p><p>(glutamic acid) as needed by the body. This conversion is performed by an enzyme in your</p><p>cells called “glutaminase” and its function is to convert glutamine into glutamate.</p><p>According to Dr. Blaylock, the idea is to cut down on your glutamine intake. His premise is</p><p>that eating a lot of sugar and glutamine can stimulate the growth of cancer cells.</p><p>However, new studies are challenging this. We don’t believe that bone broth should be</p><p>avoided any more than we believe organic fruits (with natural sugar) should be avoided,</p><p>because both are foods that God made for our health. And there is a big difference between</p><p>synthetic, man-made chemical glutamate (like MSG or monosodium glutamate) and natural</p><p>glutamine.</p><p>Bone Broth Supports a Healthy Immune System</p><p>One of the most remarkable benefits of bone broth is its ability to support the gut. This</p><p>provides a holistic effect on the body which even supports healthy immune system function.</p><p>Leaky gut occurs when undigested particles from foods seep through tiny openings in the</p><p>weakened intestinal lining and enter the bloodstream. The immune system detects these</p><p>particles and becomes hyperactive which in turn increases inflammation. As the immune</p><p>system releases high levels of antibodies, it causes an autoimmune-like response and attacks</p><p>healthy tissue.</p><p>The collagen/gelatin and the amino acids proline, glutamine, and arginine in</p><p>traditionally-made bone broths help seal these openings in the gut lining and</p><p>promote gut integrity.</p><p>By restoring gut health, bone broth aids in supporting immune system function and healthy</p><p>inflammation response. As an added bonus, bone broth can even promote healthy sleep,</p><p>boost energy during the day, and support a healthy mood… all critical elements when healing</p><p>from cancer.</p><p><span style="color: red;">Article Summary</span></p><p>Contains multiple minerals and other chemical compounds that most people are</p><p>lacking in their diet.</p><p>Bone broth is made by simmering animal bones for several hours to release the</p><p>nutrients found in the bones, cartilage, and marrow.</p><p>Look for the highest quality, organic sources available for all of your bone broth</p><p>ingredients.</p><p>6 Beneficial Nutrients Found in Bone Broth</p><p>1.

He wrote an article March 9, 2020 titled:</p><p>This At-Home Treatment Can Knock Out Any Virus–Including the Coronavirus. It</p><p>described hydrogen peroxide nebulization.</p><p>Nebulization has been used to deliver medicines for many years for people with respiratory</p><p>problems including asthma. Dr. Shallenberger discovered that nebulized medicines can have</p><p>systemic effects and used hydrogen peroxide for a respiratory infection for his wife and</p><p>others with excellent results. He has treated many people with good success fighting viral</p><p>infections.</p><p>3/9</p><p>Dr. Shallenberger’s article notes: “the treatments are simple. Just attach delivery mask to the</p><p>nebulizer output (see the devices instructions for specifics). Then add 3 cc of the hydrogen</p><p>peroxide and saline mixture to the nebulizer. Place the mask over your mouth and nose and</p><p>breathe normally until the solution is gone. It’s as simple as that.” One treatment usually</p><p>takes 10-15 minutes.</p><p>When first coming down with a virus infection, that tickle in the back of your throat or</p><p>sniffles, he recommends nebulizing dilute “hydrogen peroxide hourly the first day and then</p><p>4-6 times a day until the infection is completely resolved. In most cases if you start the</p><p>treatment early enough, before it has gotten a strong hold this will be in 2-4 days.” The goal</p><p>is to stop the virus before it gets deep in the lungs where it causes severe</p><p>inflammation and can progress to serious illness.</p><p>He also found those treatments to be useful for non-viral illnesses such as asthma in patients</p><p>with chronic lung disease. He recommends less frequent treatments for chronic conditions.</p><p>In his article he recommends having your doctor mix up hydrogen peroxide, but in a previous</p><p>article he explains how you can do it yourself safely by using 3% food grade hydrogen</p><p>peroxide available at health food stores such as Whole Foods or online (see links below).</p><p>DIRECTIONS:</p><p>1. To make the nebulizing mixture dilute 5 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide in 100 mL saline</p><p><OR> 1 ounce of 3% hydrogen peroxide to about 16 ounces of saline.</p><p>2. Use 3 cc of the diluted mixture for each nebulization treatment.</p><p>3. Place the mask over your mouth and nose and breathe normally until the solution is</p><p>gone, which is usually 10-15 minutes.</p><p>4. Repeat the 3 cc nebulization treatment hourly the first day, and 4-6 times a day until</p><p>the infection is resolved.</p><p>You can do this in conjunction with any recommendations your health care</p><p>practitioner recommends.</p><p>Some authors suggest stronger solutions for better antiviral effect up to 0.5% which would be</p><p>about 15 cc of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the 100 mL of saline. If there is any burning</p><p>sensation, back off to the more dilute solution.</p><p>If no saline is available distilled water can also be used to dilute the hydrogen peroxide. If</p><p>food grade hydrogen peroxide is not available standard hydrogen peroxide that you can get at</p><p>the drugstore could be used and then diluted as above, but is not as pure.</p><p>He believes that that having a nebulizer and hydrogen peroxide treatment at home would be</p><p>the end of your family ever having to miss work or school because of a viral illness. It has</p><p>worked in his practice.</p><p>4/9</p><p>It would be best to have these supplies on hand and ready to use at the first sign of a viral</p><p>infection whether it be a cold, flu, or other respiratory viral infection. The sooner treatment</p><p>is begun the less likely it will progress to more serious infection and illness.</p><p>Articles</p><p>Below are some links to articles referencing Dr. Shallenberger‘s experience using this</p><p>treatment.

font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Specifically, there is evidence that vitamin C and quercetin co-administration exerts a synergistic antiviral action due to overlapping antiviral and immunomodulatory properties and the capacity of ascorbate to recycle quercetin, increasing its efficacy.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;

font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Zinc</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a well known supplement that is generally contained in standard multivitamins. It provides immune support amongst other functions. Zinc inhibits coronavirus replication and is a general stimulant of antiviral immunity.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Higher levels of intracellular zinc showed to increase intracellular pH; which affect on RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and decreases the replication mechanism of RNA viruses (e.g. COVID-19).</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Therefore, zinc ionophores (e.g. Quercetin) can likely be used with zinc supplement to act as antiviral against many RNA viruses including influenza and COVID-19. Suggested benefits of zinc supplementation along with zinc ionophores to prevent and treat COVID-19 and other respiratory tract infections are supported by countless studies.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> In most cases, prophylactic and early use of zinc supplementation was more effective than late therapeutic proceedings. Up to 30% of the everyday respiratory infections, briefly named “common cold,” are due to infections with coronaviruses. Studies showed reduced symptom severity, reduced frequency, and duration of the common cold after zinc administration depending on dosage, zinc compound and the start time after initial symptoms.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Zinc deficiency is very common especially in the elderly, diabetics, cancer patients, asthma, immunosuppressed and obese - all of which have higher levels of mortality for COVID-19. Furthermore, zinc deficiency is associated with increased risk of infectious disease, pneumonia and severity of COVID-19. Conversely, zinc supplementation is associated with a significant decrease in COVID-19 mortality as long as it is delivered with a zinc ionophore.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In short, a balanced zinc homeostasis is essential. Zinc supplementation improves the mucociliary clearance, strengthens the integrity of the epithelium, decreases viral replication, preserves antiviral immunity, attenuates the risk of hyper-inflammation, supports anti-oxidative effects and thus reduces lung damage and minimizes secondary infections. Especially older subjects, patients with chronic diseases and most of the remaining COVID-19 risk groups would most likely benefit.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Vitamin D-3</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 158px; overflow: hidden; width: 149px;"><img height="158" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sFq4iUWque900uBEk2F3ltf_6YTNF3Q2roeXFa1K8PFS5hEHxYKZxQirwbIs66LRTZmvbdLO_UannZMirui0gUAzZL_GKZmNcaDANllGK433nrm1qZ5iMOH3mLtQ2Yu49ocChtUM" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="149" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Vitamin D is essential to a healthy immune system as it initiates the adaptive immune response. Clinical trial data shows that Vitamin D supplementation is safe and protects against acute respiratory tract infection mortality whereas low levels of vitamin D are associated with higher risk for infection and mortality.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> In addition, a meta-analysis of COVID-19 studies shows that over 90% of studies report positive effects of Vitamin D against COVID-19.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Vitamin D promotes the expression of a protein called cathelicidin which is crucial to antiviral immunity via the induction of cathelicidin and defensins, which can block viral entry into cells as well as suppress viral replication. Additionally, Vitamin D via cathelicidin promotes antimicrobial function as well as other functions including the stimulation of T cells into the site of infection which inhibit the proinflammatory processes, and promotion of the clearance of respiratory pathogens by inducing apoptosis and autophagy of infected epithelial cells. In addition vitamin D promotes the killing of pneumococcus by stimulating neutrophils via a range of mechanisms. Over the last 10 years, vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to a wide range of common infectious diseases, such as pneumonia, influenza, amongst others. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The link between vitamin D and viral infections arose from the observation of the seasonality of vitamin D with lower levels in the winter and concomitant increases in influenza. Conversely, in summer, serum levels of Vitamin D increase and influenza virtually disappears, except during pandemics. Even in pandemics, most deaths occur during cold months.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Zelenko Protocol</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800027272727273; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since March 2020, my team has successfully treated over 3,000 patients with Covid-19 with the Zelenko Protocol.

It is easy to get complacent about the processed food and even the wheat that is available for consumption. We think they (regulators of food, government etc...) would never allow food out that could damage us. Well think again.<br />
<br />
Grain free, dairy free and sugar free will go a long way to keeping us healthy and our brains sharp.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.8px;">It seems nearly everyone has digestive issues these days. Crohn’s, IBS, colitis, celiac, and dozens of other digestive disorders have made an industry out of sugar free, gluten free, and dairy free products. So why is it that those with digestive issues can’t often fully fix them and have to follow a very strict diet or suffer the painful consequences?</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.8px;"><br /></span><br />

Enzymes play a key role in our health by enabling our bodies to properly digest and use all the nutrients we take in to their greatest potential. If we do not introduce enough enzymes through our food, we put more pressure on the pancreas to produce enzymes in order to break down waste products, which eventually can leave it overworked and unable to produce the enzymes required to facilitate proper <span style="border: 0px; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/digestion.html" style="border: 0px; color: #ab5757; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in;" target="_blank"><span style="border: 0px; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">digestion</span></a></span>.</div>

<span style="line-height: 30.8px;">Consider liquid magnesium supplements, and loading up on salads rich in leafy greens and vegetables.</span></div>

Stress creates all sorts of problems for your digestive system. It strips your body of various vitamins and minerals (B vitamins and magnesium to name a couple), tightens your muscles, slows down bowel movements, and inhibits absorption of enzymes and probiotics, as well as other nutrients.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="line-height: 30.8px;">Keep your stress in check through chamomile, medicinal mushrooms, kefir, and acts of gratitude, meditation, and exercise.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
There are many types of toxins that can cause digestive distress, however, one of the most gut compromising toxins falls in the heavy metals category.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="line-height: 30.8px;">Heavy metals are introduced into our bodies in a variety of ways, but some of the more problematic gateways are through vaccinations and mercury amalgams. Not only does this create a great burden for proper liver, gallbladder, and pancreas function (including secreting bile to facilitate digestion), but heavy metals also kill off good bacteria to further impair the digestive process.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
Heavy metal detoxification is a delicate process and should be handled by a professional, but you can consider chlorella and cilantro to help bind and remove them from your system.<br />

remineralize your teeth and stop new cavities from forming. It is based on
research by<span style="color: blue;"> Weston Price</span> using bone broths,
fermented grains, and raw milk products to stop the bad stuff from harming your
teeth and encourage the good stuff to rebuild them. The key take away is that
in order to cure tooth decay and remineralize your teeth, they need to have
direct contact with the building blocks that teeth are made of – calcium,
phosphorous, and some trace minerals. Your teeth also need less contact with
the things in the oral environment that inhibit the rebuilding process. </span></div>

<br />
Here in Ottawa at the Murray Street Restaurant chef Steve Mitton got the idea of serving broth by the cup when he participated in a Beer, Barley and Food event at Rideau Pines Farm.<br />
<br />
Bone broth is an ancient practice of simmering bones and maybe a few seasonings in water to make stock.The nutrients and collagen in the broth boost gut health, reduce inflammation and possibly even improve skeletal strength, fight cancer and make your hair shinier. <br />
<br />
Here is what Nourished Kitchens has to say about bone broths:<br />
Bone Broth, Broths and Stocks<br />
<header class="entry-header">
</header><div style="text-align: left;">
Bone
broths are given special emphasis among traditional foods circles.
Preindustrial societies across the globe have always placed particular
and special emphasis on the preparation of the whole animal – and that
includes emphasis on using bones for making broth. In Asia, emphasis is
placed on stocks and broths made from fish and fish bones, as well as
beef bones for popular soups like Korean bone soup. In Europe, stocks
and broths have become the foundation of cooking and are used in not
only making soups and stews, but also for preparing reductions, sauces
and for braising vegetables and meats.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
why bone broths are good for you</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bone broths are extraordinarily rich in
protein, and can be a source of minerals as well. Glycine supports the
bodies detoxification process and is used in the synthesis of
hemoglobin, bile salts and other naturally-occurring chemicals within
the body. Glycine also supports digestion and the secretion of gastric
acids. Proline, especially when paired with vitamin C, supports good
skin health. Bone broths are also rich in gelatin which may support
skin health. Gelatin also support digestive health which is why it
plays a critical role in the <a href="http://nourishedkitchen.com/what-is-the-gaps-diet/">GAPS diet</a>.
And, lastly, if you’ve ever wondering why chicken soup is good for a
cold, there’s science behind that, too. Chicken broth inhibits
neutrophil migration; that is, it helps mitigate the side effects of
colds, flus and upper respiratory infections (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11035691" target="_blank">read it here</a>). Pretty cool, huh? <a href="http://nourishedkitchen.com/bone-broth/">http://nourishedkitchen.com/bone-broth/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I make bone broth all winter long and turn it into a healthy nourishing soup for my family. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can make it in a slow cooker so that it takes no time. <a href="http://www.grassfedgirl.com/easy-crock-pot-bone-broth-2/">http://www.grassfedgirl.com/easy-crock-pot-bone-broth-2/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Make your bone broths and eat your soup.</div>

of many essential minerals as well as a very good source of vitamin B1
(thiamin) and dietary fiber. The nutrients found in sesame seeds may contribute
to cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, support respiratory health,
protect against colon cancer and osteoporosis as well as other conditions.
Depending upon the variety, sesame seeds come in many different colors,
including white, yellow, black and red.</span></div>

source of magnesium and calcium. A 1/4 cup serving of provides 126 mg of
magnesium, or 32 percent of the Recommended Daily Value (DV), and 351 mg of
calcium (35 percent of the DV). That's slightly more than you find in a cup of
milk, however, the calcium is located in the hull of the seeds, so hulled
versions offer much less calcium. <br /> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Magnesium and calcium are important essential minerals that help regulate blood
pressure, reduce the likelihood of developing tension and migraine headaches
(triggered by blood vessel spasms), reduce the occurrence of airway spasms in
asthmatics and regulate sleep patterns, especially in women suffering from

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A 1/4 cup serving of black sesame
seeds provides almost 1.5 milligrams (mg), or 74 percent of the DV, for the
trace mineral copper, and 2.8 mg (about 19 percent of the DV) for zinc. These
minerals are needed in very small quantities, but are essential for human
health. Copper plays a role in the anti-inflammatory process which is
beneficial for reducing some of the swelling and pain characteristic of
inflammatory diseases. Copper also is needed to activate an enzyme necessary
for building collagen and elastin, which provide structure and elasticity to
bones and joints. <br />
<br />
Low dietary intakes of the trace mineral zinc (low circulating levels in the
bloodstream) is associated with a depressed immune system as well as loss of
bone and decreased bone density of the hip and spine. Consuming zinc-rich
foods, such as black sesame seeds, reduces the risk of suffering from bone
fractures caused by reduced bone density (common among the elderly) or
osteoporosis. Optimal zinc intake may reduce the frequency and length of the
common cold because it keeps the immune system healthy.</span></div>

cholesterol levels (which contributes to cardiovascular health) in several
ways. They contain two unique substances known as sesamin and sesamolin. These
substances belong to a group of fibers called lignans (flaxseeds are another
rich source of lignans). Lignans are rich in dietary fiber and have a
cholesterol-lowering effect. <br />
<br />
Black sesame seeds are rich in phytosterols. Phytosterols are plant compounds
very similar in structure (chemical) to cholesterol. Consuming more dietary
phytosterols not only decreases blood cholesterol levels but reduces the risk
of developing certain types of cancer. Sesame seeds offer the highest
phytosterol content (400 to 413 mg per 100 grams or 3.5 ounces) of all nuts and
seeds.</span> </div>

The original post came from Jefferson Adams who writes for Celiac.com. <a href="http://www.celiacbrain.blogspot.ca/2015/01/the-top-ten-physical-complaints-from.html">http://www.celiacbrain.blogspot.ca/2015/01/the-top-ten-physical-complaints-from.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Osteopenia/Osteoporosis—a full 52% of patients with celiac disease suffer from osteopenia/osteoporosis.</li>
<li>Anemia—about one in three celiacs (34%) suffer from anemia.</li>
<li>Cryptogenic hypertransaminasemia—nearly one-third (29%) of people
with celiac disease, have what is called cryptogenic
hypertransaminasemia.</li>
<li>Diarrhea is, in fact, a common gastrointestinal symptom of celiac
disease, but believe it or not, only 27% of people with symptomatic
celiac disease experienced diarrhea.</li>
<li>Bloating—20% of celiacs complained of bloating prior to diagnosis.</li>
<li>Aphthous stomatitis—18% of people with symptomatic celiac disease had canker sores as one of their symptoms.</li>
<li>Alternating bowel habit—15% of celiacs with symptoms have alternating bowel habit</li>
<li>Constipation—13% of celiacs have constipation as a symptom.</li>
<li>Gastroesophageal reflux disease—About 12% of people with celiac disease suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease.</li>
<li>Recurrent miscarriages—just over one in ten (12%) people with celiac disease experience recurrent miscarriages</li>
</ol>
<br />
If we have any of the top10 complaints we should get the test from <a href="https://www.enterolab.com/default.aspx">https://www.enterolab.com/default.aspx</a><br />
<br />
The reason is that when we get tested and it turns out positive, we are more likely to adhere to the diet. Dr. Powell recommends the genetic testing which I did and had the result that said I was prone to celiac disease. It seems to run in my family and because of that my children follow a gluten free diet.<br />
<br />
This is what Dr. Powell says:<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recommend </span><b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">everyone get a simple test from www.enterolab.com</b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> called "genetics". This genetic test, and no other that I know of, tests for celiac disease </span><b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and</b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> gluten
sensitivity. (I have tried all available testing methods and
combination of testing methods and find them prone to interpretive
errors. Except the genetic test available at www.enterolab.com).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why do I recommend that everyone get this test?</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are at least 200 diseases associated with gluten sensitivity, according to the NEJM, so I can't tell without testing. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because those that are undiagnosed have </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">high morbidity and mortality, leading to a 400% increased risk of dying by age 65! This morbidity and mortality is unnecessary. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most
people need to see a black and white test result to be motivated to do
the grain free diet which is the only treatment to treat the bowel and
the the extra gastrointestinal illnesses.</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why would I recommend a gene test if one could have the gene for a condition and not have the disease?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The study of Epigenetics has helped us to understand where genetics is useful. If you were <a href="http://celiacbrain.blogspot.ca/">conceived and born in North America, after 1942</a>,
and you find you do carry one or more genes for celiac or gluten
sensitivity, your genetics is "on". And you can modify how the gene is
expressed. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This isn't some fad diet but a life long adherence to eating gluten free and also choosing healthy choices. Not all food labelled gluten free are healthy.</span></div>

Taking vitamin D in a timely fashion will help to prevent a cold from taking hold.<br />
This came from this website <a href="http://www.worldhealth.net/forum/thread/99358/vitamin-d-proven-more-effective-than-bo/?page=1">http://www.worldhealth.net/forum/thread/99358/vitamin-d-proven-more-effective-than-bo/?page=1</a><br />
<br />
The risk of children suffering from flu can be reduced by 50% if
they take vitamin D, doctors in Japan have found. The finding has
implications for flu epidemics since vitamin D, which is naturally
produced by the human body when exposed to direct sunlight, has no
significant side effects, costs little and can be several times more
effective than anti-viral drugs or vaccines according to research in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
<br />
<br />Only one in ten children, aged six to 15 years, taking the sunshine
vitamin in a clinical trial came down with flu compared with one in five
given a dummy tablet. Mitsuyoshi Urashima, the Japanese doctor who led
the trial, told The Times that vitamin D was more effective than
vaccines in preventing flu.
<br />
<br />Vitamin D was found to be even more effective when the comparison
left out children who were already given extra vitamin D by their
parents, outside the trial. Taking the sunshine vitamin was then shown
to reduce the risk of flu to a third of what it would otherwise be.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Dr. Damien Downing, a doctor and medical consultant has publicly
stated that governments "do like" epidemics as a chance to impose their
will. The London based doctor has been advising patients to increase
their vitamin D intake rather than get the vaccine.</b>
<br />
<br /><b>You might be shocked to know that there are many physicians in both
Canada and the United States who prescribe as much as 50,000 IU of
vitamin D daily as a treatment for a long list of chronic disease</b>s.
<br />
<br /><b>Dr. John Cannell, MD, suggests high-dose vitamin D (50,000 IU) be
consumed for three days at the first sign of a cold or the flu. If you
have an infection, the truth is you need more vitamin D. That’s a given.
In other words, vitamin D acts as a natural antibiotic. It works
against every type of microbe (viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites).
</b></span></span><br />
<br />Vitamin D deficiency is common during the winter months, especially
in countries far north of the equator. Vitamin D acts as an immune
system modulator, preventing excessive production of inflammatory
cytokines and increasing macrophage (a type of white cell) activity.
Vitamin D also stimulates the production of potent anti-microbial
peptides in other white blood cells and in epithelial cells lining the
respiratory tract, protecting the lungs from infection.
<br />
<br /><b>50 Percent Reduction In Flu Infections Using Vitamin D</b>
<br />
<br />Altogether 354 children took part in the trial. Vitamin D was found
to protect against influenza A but not against the less common influenza
B.
<br />
<br />The trial, which was double blind, randomised, and fully controlled
scientifically, was conducted by doctors and scientists from Jikei
University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan.
<br />
<br />The children were given a daily dose of 1200 IUs (international
units) of vitamin D over a period of three months. In the first month
children in the group taking the vitamin became ill just as often as
those taking the dummy tablet. But by the second month, when the vitamin
level in the children’s blood was higher, the advantage of the vitamin
was clear.
<br />
<br />The Japanese scientists, writing in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, say that the anti-viral drugs zanamivir and oseltamivir
reduce risk of flu infection by 8 percent in children who have been
exposed to infection, compared with a 50 percent or greater reduction
with vitamin D.
<br />
<br />Anti-virals are typically more effective than vaccines for the
influenza virus which suggests that both forms of medical intervention
would consistently fail in similar studies when pitted against vitamin
D.
<br />
<br />Anti-virals are also too expensive, and possibly too toxic, to be
given to the population as a whole whereas vitamin D has additional
benefits. The sunshine vitamin not only prevents bone fractures but is
also believed to reduce risks of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and
other illness, including various bacterial as well as viral infections.
<br />
<br />The Japanese finding supports a theory that low blood levels of the
sunshine vitamin occurring in winter explain why flu epidemics generally
peak between December and March.
<br />
<br />Vitamin D activates the innate immune system, enabling the body to
produce several proteins such as defensin and cathelicidin which trigger
cell activity and disable viruses.
<br />
<br />Dr John Oxford, professor of virology at Queen Mary School of
Medicine, London, said: “This is a timely study. It will be noticed by
scientists. It fits in with the seasonal pattern of flu. There is an
increasing background of solid science that makes the vitamin D story
credible. ”
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Dose and Vitamin D Levels Are Critical</b>
<br />
<br />Researchers have recently pinpointed the mechanism behind vitamin
D3's ability to enhance the immune system and why it is so critical to
our health.
<br />
<br />- Vitamin D is not a vitamin, but a steroid hormone precursor, which has profound effects on innate immunity.
<br />
<br />- The amount of vitamin D in most food and nearly all multivitamins is literally inconsequential.
<br />
<br />- The correct daily dose of vitamin D for adults is approximately
5,000 IU/day, not the 200 to 600 IU recommended by the Institute of
Medicine, the National Institutes of Medicine and the FDA.
<br />
<br />- The only blood test to determine vitamin D adequacy is a
25-hydroxy-vitamin D, not the 1,25-di-hydroxy-vitamin D test many
physicians now order.
<br />
<br />- Healthy vitamin D blood levels are between 70 and 90 ng/ml, levels obtained by fewer than 5% of Americans.
<br />
<br />- The mechanism of action of vitamin D in infection, dramatically
increasing the body’s production of broad-spectrum natural antibiotics
(anti-microbial peptides or AMP), suggests pharmaceutical doses of
vitamin D (1,000 IU per pound of body weight per day for several days)
will effectively treat not only influenza and the common cold, but help
treat a host of other seasonal infections, including meningitis,
septicemia, and pneumonia, in both children and adults.

Is healthy food prohibitively expensive?</h2>
Sure, high-end healthy food options<em> are</em> more expensive than
junk food. That’s why so many refer to the Whole Foods grocery chain as
“Whole Paycheck”. You’ve probably noticed that organic veggies cost more
than non-organic. It’s really a bummer that it costs <em>less</em> for food that <em>hurts</em> us, and <em>more</em> for food that <em>helps</em> us.<br />
If you’ve ever eaten fast food, you know you can go to the
drive-through of the nearest one and get a surprising amount of food for
about 20 bucks, all without having to lift a finger to do any cooking.
Of course, that food is also pretty awful for your health.<br />
So, before we surrender to the golden arches, let’s take that $20 and think about what you <em>could</em> buy with it.<br />
At most grocery stores you could get a small bag of rice, two cans of
beans, two green bell peppers, a couple of onions, a head of garlic, a
bottle of spice, and a pound of grass-fed ground beef. With all of that,
you could make a pot of chili that would feed a family of three for <em>at least</em> two
meals. This would pack a far more nutritious bang for your bucks, even
leaving plenty of rice from that bag left for other meals as well.<br />
<h2>
Junk Food is Making Poor People Dumb</h2>
Most folks know that a bad diet and minimal exercise is the fast
track to disease and an early death. But did you know that junk food can
actually lower your IQ too?<br />
While this may seem like a no-brainer (pun intended) for health
conscious folks, for those who are blasé about their food choices, these
findings just may be a bit of a surprise.<br />
An American study, published in the Journal of <i>Epidemiology & Community Health</i>
in 2010, showed that children who consume junk food before the age of
three may end up having lower IQs than children who ate home-cooked
meals with fruit and vegetables. (<a href="http://jech.bmj.com/content/early/2011/01/21/jech.2010.111955" target="_blank">source</a>)<br />
A second 2012 study from the University of Adelaide in Australia,
examined the eating habits of more than 7,000 children at six months, 15
months and two years, and measured their IQ at eight years of age.
They found those who were breastfed at six months and had a homemade
diet, featuring home-cooked foods, had an IQ that was up to two points
higher. (<a href="http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10654-012-9715-5" target="_blank">source</a>)<br />
Yet another study from the University of London observed 5,000
Scottish children, ages 3-5 years old, to determine whether fast food
vs. home-cooked foods actually affected cognitive development.
They found hat not only was more home-cooked food linked to higher IQ,
but also it was the higher social-economic groups that typically
provided higher quality for their children. (<a href="http://www.gold.ac.uk/news/pressrelease/?releaseID=963" target="_blank">source</a>)<br />
This final study explains a subtle but important fact: those with
more financial means seem to have an easier time feeding their children
healthy foods.<br />
There’s the conundrum. Healthy living does not <em>have to</em> be
expensive, but having more money certainly seems to help. Yes, it will
take a bit of extra thought and effort, however the long-term payoff of
smart lifestyle choices is a more deeply rewarding, healthy life.<br />
Here are…<br />
<h1>
3 simple ways to be healthy on a tight budget</h1>
<h2>
#1 – Make better food choices.</h2>
Organic produce and pasture-raised meats may be unaffordable for some
folks, but that doesn’t mean you need to subsist on tv dinners
and Twinkies on the sofa. It’s really <em>not</em> a simple choice between <em>either </em>junk food <em>or</em> healthy food. There’s a whole range of choices across an entire spectrum of healthiness.<br />
Rather than feeling defeated by your budget, work smartly to see how
you can optimize your choices and make the most of what you’ve got. Plan
out your meals each week rather than making rash, last-minute decisions
– which often result in a trip thru the drive-through or a call for
cheap takeout.<br />
<h2>
#2 – Do cost-free exercise.</h2>
When it comes to physical activity, you clearly do not have to spend
money on a fancy gym membership to get a good workout on a regular
basis. Walking, jogging, dancing, gardening, and many other activities
don’t cost a thing. Many community centers have free or low-cost
exercise classes too.<br />
You do, however, have to have the willpower to make it happen. So, get up and move – every day.<br />
<h2>
#3 – Learn to cook.</h2>
It can be challenging to turn away from the convenience of junk and
fast food, but the fact of the matter is, that home-cooked meals are far
healthier and don’t have to be complicated or expensive.<br />
That said, if you don’t cook yet, learning to cook is the keystone to you reclaiming your healthy life.<br />
If you are a complete newbie in the kitchen, start simply and go from
there. Learn to scramble eggs, use a slow cooker, and steam veggies.
Make a big salad and dress it with some lemon and olive oil. Teach
yourself how to roast a chicken.<br />
Then, as often as possible, sit down with family or friends to share
your meals – because families that eat together are healthier, smarter,
and happier too! (<a href="http://www.thescramble.com/family-dinner-challenge-statistics/#sthash.4k1hj312.dpuf" target="_blank">source</a>)<br />
When you know your way around the kitchen, you’ll easily see just how
far you can stretch your food dollars into delicious and nutritious
homemade meals.<br />
<br />
I loved watching James Barber who was a Canadian cook. He had a television show called the Urban Peasant. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJIwtaQ1a5A">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJIwtaQ1a5A</a><br />
He always said by the time you ordered food from the take out, you could make your own food. I have many of his cookbooks and have found this to be true. A few ingredients when you know how to cook can make a tasty meal. <br />
Always have canned salmon, it makes quick and easy salmon patties. Vegetables can be frozen but I usually have carrots and cabbage and onions to stir fry and if you are really short on time a safe starch such as white basmati rice can be filling. Having grass fed ground beef in freezer taken out the night before and used to make Indian Meatballs so quick and easy. I serve then with Saag Faux Paneer and some rice.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There’s a
hidden sickness at large in the world today that is afflicting many of us and
which is causing our bodies to deteriorate at a much faster rate than Nature
ever intended...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">...And it’s
getting worse year on year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It’s a
problem that affects the young and the old alike and makes no distinction
between the rich or the poor... and yet it receives NO publicity and NO
government awareness campaigns with high profile celebrities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Diagnosis
rates in hospitals for this sickness have soared 44 per cent over the past 5
years, and yet the shocking truth is that most of us are walking around not
even aware that we’re affected... until later on in life when it begins to
manifest itself in a string of chronic and degenerative health problems –
ranging from Alzheimer’s, arthritis, heart disease and even cancer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">But by then
it’s too late to do anything about it...<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> So,
what is this insidious, invisible epidemic that’s sweeping the nation?</span>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Malnutrition.
Yep, you read it right. Many of us are suffering from malnutrition. For most of
us that means that our bodies are starved of the essential vitamins and
nutrients that fuel our ‘engines’ and all our moving parts. </span><br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<em><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“But
how can this be when there is so much food available to us? Surely the problem
is that we’re eating TOO MUCH food? After all, aren’t we going through an
obesity epidemic?”</span></b></em></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">This is
exactly right – which makes the situation all the more serious. Not only are we
MALNOURISHED, but 75 per cent of the population is clinically OBESE... and
that’s a double-whammy time bomb just waiting to explode.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We’re
literally eating ourselves sick with the WRONG kind of food which is high in
additives, salt, sugar and trans-fats – and low in the essential nutrients that
are essential for the body to function properly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">And we’ve
been doing so for the last 50 years at least - which means that a whole
generation has grown up not knowing any better!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We are all
bombarded with adverts for so-called healthy food products, but how many of us
read what's on the label or ever think to question the claims? How many
of us actually know whether these products are delivering any nutritional value
whatsoever?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">For example,
every day we're told that eating cereal products will lower our cholesterol and
prevent heart disease - but how many of us realize that these products are
crammed with high levels of salt and sugar and contain virtually no nutrients
whatsoever? You are better off eating the card board that it came in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">One fact
alone was enough to make me avoid margarine for life and anything else that is
hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of
the substance). Margarine is just ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Why not try
this for yourself: purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or
shaded area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Within a

rot or smell differently.. because it has no nutritional value, nothing will
grow on it...even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not find a home to
grow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Why? Because it
is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your
toast?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The
problem stems from the fact that: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">• We eat too
much processed foods.<br />
• We’re eating less home-cooked food and more convenience food.<br />
• We’re eating more take out food than ever before<br />
• We’re eating later in the day which means we don’t digest our food
properly<br />
• We skip meals or grab a sandwich on the run </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">. . . and
that’s just storing up trouble for the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The problem
is that even if you THINK you’re eating a healthy diet, your body may still be
deficient in vital vitamins or minerals that, if allowed to go uncorrected over
months, years even decades, can lead to a whole host of degenerative heath
problems</span><br />

When sugar is ingested, your body reacts by releasing insulin. This spike in insulin when occurring continuously, starts to take a toll on the lining of your blood vessels and arterial walls, leaving them inflamed. Daily consumption of sugar which can hover at a high level all day will cause your heart health to plummet.<br />
According to a <a href="https://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1819573" target="_blank">study</a> published in <em>JAMA Internal Medicine</em>,
people who consumed more than 21% of their daily calories from added
sugar were at double the risk of death from heart disease than those who
consumed less than 10% of calories from added sugars. That means
something as simple as an extra shake from the drive-thru—containing 50
grams of sugar, on average— is enough to double your daily intake.
Surprisingly, or perhaps not, approximately 37% of the added sugar in
Americans’ diets comes from sugar-sweetened beverages like sodas and
juices. (You would think drinking a glass of orange juice would be healthy but it is not at 24 grams of sugar in an 8 ounce bottle.)<br />
It’s important to note that the findings were consistent across age
groups, sex, physical-activity levels, weights and other dietary habits.
This is significant because it is unlike other health threats whose
probability can be based on things like genetics and gender.<br />
<br />
<strong>Sugar pseudonyms</strong> are more common than you might
think, so when reading a label watch for: barley malt, beet sugar, brown
sugar, cane or date sugar, cane-juice crystals, pure sugar cane juice,
evaporated cane juice, dried cane juice, caramel, corn syrup,
high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), dextran, diastaste, fruit juice or
concentrate, golden sugar or syrup, raw sugar, refiner’s syrup, sorghum,
turbinado sugar, yellow sugar, invert sugar, malt syrup, rice syrup,
maltodextrin, and all ingredients ending in “-ose” such as sucrose,
dextrose, glucose, maltose, lactose, ethyl maltose, fructose, and
levulose. Oh, and that also means agave. Agave, which is naturally
sweeter than sugar, has also recently been linked to cardiovascular
disease, as well as diabetes and miscarriage during pregnancy.<br />
<br />
There is also a problem with the fructose found in honey and maple syrup. These sweeteners should be used with caution especially those people following a Paleo diet. They are not a free pass. Watch the youtube video by Dr. Robert Lustig "Sugar The Bitter Truth"<br />
<br />
One thing most people don’t realize about sugar is that it begs the old
“the chicken or the egg” question: Which came first, the craving or the
consumption? Too much sugar in your system can cause Candida to grow out
of control, and this normally harmless yeast can easily become an
invasive resident. Candida needs sugar to reproduce, so the more sugar
(and carbohydrates) you eat, the more you will crave. While everybody
knows your waistline suffers, the new study illuminates the fact that
your heart will too.<br />
<br />
Sugar has snuck in the backdoor and is robbing our health blind. With
our attention averted elsewhere, sugar has ravaged our physical
well-being in the form of obesity, diabetes, poor dental health,
digestive challenges, and now the threat to heart health has officially
been added to the list—and in serious fashion. The safest way to dodge
added sugar is to enjoy whole foods with as little processing as
possible.<br />

We could have a gluten sensitivity rather than an immune response to the gluten.<br />
<a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/gluten-sensitivity-may-be-a-misnomer/?page=1">http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/gluten-sensitivity-may-be-a-misnomer/?page=1</a><br />
This is a good article to read on the differences and similarites to Celiac and nonceliac wheat sensitivity.<br />
We need to listen to our bodies not just blood tests. If going with out gluten found in wheat, rye, barley helps reduce or eliminate our symptoms then a blood test is not going to make a difference.<br />
It also maybe not the one but the many for some, including combinations of food that might trigger symptoms.<br />
Listen to your body.<br />

Quitting smoking for some, dieting (oh the horror) for some. I think the best we can do is continue to eat real foods.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">As I
continue to learn and research, I begin to understand what exactly real
food is. It’s food that comes from the Earth, is whole, natural and
unprocessed. Real food consisting of humanely raised grass-fed meat,
vegetables and fruit that are local and seasonal, unrefined oils and
fats; the food that has been in our world for millions of years. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Here a few healthy foods to incorporate into our diet this new year. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Leafy Greens</b></span><br />
High in B vitamins, minerals, and beta-carotene, greens are the number
one food you can eat regularly to help improve your health. A good way
to get greens into your diet are Green Smoothies – </span><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><i>GREENS MAKE YOU CLEAN!</i></span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"> Pack your blender full of your favorite greens and watch as your body
magically begins to clean itself out. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Coconut Oil</b></span><br />
Definitely my favorite oil to cook with and add to green smoothies.
Coconut oil is a unique saturated fat because it is chalked full of
medium-chained fatty acids which are easy for the body to convert into
fuel. Remember “saturated” just means the oil is typically solid at room
temperature. Saturated oils are the ONLY oils safe to cook with.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Eggs (Protein)</b></span><br />
To me, eggs are the perfect food. They contain everything needed to
sustain life – protein, antioxidants, minerals, and B vitamins –
including Choline, which is a rock star! Choline is essential for the
liver and gallbladder to emulsify fats. Choline also helps aid brain
function in adults by maintaining the structure of brain cell membranes
and acts as a precursor to neurotransmitters. If you are looking for
foods that bust your sugar cravings, eggs are a no-brainer. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Avocados (Fat)</b></span><br />
Avocados are a great source of healthy vegetable fat. It is rare to find
fatty vegetables and fruits in nature, which makes avocados a real
delicacy! Put together with eggs for a match made in heaven.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Fermented Foods</b></span><br />
A good place to start? Kombucha! Kombucha is a carbonated probiotic
drink full of enzymes, minerals, and essential vitamins. However, the
nutritive qualities are not the only thing to brag about. This drink is
great for your digestive system, helping you break down food and
re-populate your gut with healthy flora. After the fermentation process,
where the good bacteria turns sugar into nutrients, there is some
residual sugar left over which makes this drink a semi-sweet treat.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Sauerkraut from Bubbies or Kartheins are also very good. You can drink a teaspoon of the liquid or more before dinner to aid digestion.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Chicken Bone Broth</b></span><br />
Delicious, digestible, and familiar; it’s also nutrient-rich. Bone
broth assists with digestion, allergies, immune & brain health,
contributes to glowing skin & hair, promotes healthy connective
tissue, and is extremely soothing if you are sick.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Fish Oil</b></span><br />
The Omega-3s in fish oil are extremely important in our daily diet
because of the anti-inflammatory effect they have on the body which
assists with joint health and skin conditions. Fish oils have earned
their reputation as “brain food” because some people eat fish to help
with depression, psychosis, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD), Alzheimer’s disease, and other thinking disorders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Cod Liver Oil is my
go-to oil that I take each and every day. Traditionally, this was THE
health food in Grandma’s cupboard. The naturally occurring Vitamins A
and D, Co Q 10, DHA, and EPA support brain function and development, and
the natural balance of Vitamins D and F help with cell metabolism, your
immune system, hormone levels and regulation of cholesterol.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Sweet Potatoes</b></span><br />
Sweet potatoes are a slightly more complex carbohydrate than regular
potatoes with a far greater nutrient profile. This means they break down
slower and don’t cause the blood sugar spike that you have to worry
about with white potatoes and other simple starches. Carrots,
winter squash, sweet potatoes ~ packed with beta-carotene and other
phytonutrients. After completely removing all forms of bread &
gluten from my diet, I rely on squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes when I
am craving a “hearty” meal.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">I have my new year's goose carcass on the stove right now so I can make a delicious soup for my family for supper tonight. There are many recipes for slow cooker broths on the internet. You can start it before you go to work and cool it overnight and make soup the next day. Good way to get the gelatin for healing your intestines.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">These are foods that you can eat everyday to keep you healthy in every way.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Healthy life.</span><br />

I found a new sugar to add to my sugar free list. "Just Like
Brown Sugar" is a great substitute for real brown sugar. I found a recipe at <a href="http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/the-best-chocolate-chip-cookie/">http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/the-best-chocolate-chip-cookie/</a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I used Craisins which were pomegranate sweetened with some
elderberry syrup and pumpkin seeds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wrote about health benefits of chicory in a previous blog so I am glad that
this sweetener is made from chicory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maria says that she reserves <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/marisnutran05-20/detail/B003O6YWHE">JUST LIKE
SUGAR and JUST LIKE BROWN SUGAR</a> for special recipes due to the expense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cookie was crispy on the outside, chewy
on the inside. Perfect! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just Like Sugar
contains no sugar alcohols and does not cause the laxative effect of some of
the other sweeteners. It is composed of natural fiber obtained from Chicory
Root, Calcium and Vitamin C. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><b>BENEFITS OF CHICORY ROOT:</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
1. CHOLESTEROL: It decreases the levels of serum LDL cholesterol in the blood.<br />
2. INFLAMMATION: It contains vitamin C, one of the most powerful antioxidants.<br />
3. DIABETES: The inulin content is not digestible, so its lack of glucose can
help promote optimal blood sugar levels while also increasing stool bulk and
consistency.<br />
4. CONSTIPATION: It provides soluble fiber, which improves digestion.<br />
5. GALL BLADDER ISSUES: It builds your body’s resistance to gallstones and
liver stones. By increasing the flow of bile, it assists the body in digesting
foods and liquids. The extra bile also helps break down fats in the body. Chicory
root has a mild laxative effect, increases bile from the gallbladder, and
decreases swelling.<br />
6. URINARY INFECTIONS, KIDNEY STONES and GOUT: It has diuretic properties that
provide protection for the urinary tract system and kidneys. Toxins are removed
and the cleansing of the body is stimulated because of an increase in urine
flow. It has been used to expel gravel, calcium deposits, and excess uric acid
from the body, which helps to prevent gout and kidney stones.<br />
7. WEIGHT LOSS: Chicory root benefits weight loss because of the effect it has
on the digestive system. It is an excellent source of fructooligosaccharides
which help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract.
It also increases the rate of the break down of fats. It also helps with weight
loss because it helps keep insulin levels low while enjoying sweet foods.<br />
8. NATURAL “Liver” CLEANSER: Chicory root also supports the body’s
detoxification system through the liver and kidneys, and is believed to help
with calcium absorption. Chicory also helps prevent jaundice and an enlarged
liver when mixed with water. Because of Chicory Root’s potential for removing
contaminants from the digestive system, the liver does not have to work as hard
to filter out toxins that may have escaped into the bloodstream. It also acts
as a gentle laxative and diuretic for removing excess water and toxins, and
this can also reduce strain on the liver.<br />
9. ANXIETY: It is a natural sedative and anti-inflammatory for the nervous

help.<br />

correct acid indigestion, heartburn, gastritis, and vomiting, upset stomach.
Because it stimulates bile production, this helps to speed up the digestive
process after eating too much rich food.<br />

<u><b>Pumpkin and Cranberry Cookie Recipe</b></u><br />
<br />
1 cup coconut oil or butter<br />
1 cup Just like Brown Sugar (*mixing sweeteners creates a better flavor and texture)<br />
1/2 cup Swerve<br />
1 egg<br />
1 1/2 cup blanched almond flour<a href="http://aff.nuts.com/SF3E"> </a><br />
1/2 cup coconut flour<a href="http://aff.nuts.com/SF3E"> </a><br />
1 tsp aluminum free baking powder<br />
1 tsp sea salt<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/marisnutran05-20/detail/B000EITYUU"> </a><br />
1/2 cup pumpkin Seeds<br />
1/2 cup Craisins or apple juice sweetened cranberries<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium bowl, cream the
butter, sweetener and egg. Cream for a few minutes until very fluffy. In a
separate bowl mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking
powder, and salt. Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet and mix
until smooth. Add in pumpkin seeds and cranberries. Roll 2 TBS of dough into a ball in your
hands (for uniform shape) onto a cookie sheet, then press down to they
are about ¾ of an inch thick. Place cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake
in preheated oven for 17-20 minutes or until golden around the edges.
Cool completely on the baking sheet before removing and enjoy! <br />

We like to make new year resolutions in January but I think a perfect time is September. Cooler days and less distractions like holidays.<br />
<br />
I was reading <b>Patrick Holford's</b> blog this morning. He founded the Institute for Optimal Nutrition back in the 80's. He came to Ottawa to lecture at St. Paul's University and has written quite a few books too. This is what he was saying this morning that we should be doing to prevent not only obesity but cancer which go hand in hand.<br />
<br />
<b>The failure to win the cancer war is largely to do with the
increase in breast and prostate cancer. These cancers are not primarily
caused by inheritance or genes - a maximum of 15% of the risk for
breast cancer is caused by genes/inherited. For women, smoking accounts
for 30% of cancer risk, while obesity accounts for about 20%. Instead
of following the current trend of removing the affected body part 'just
in case', why not remove the diet part such as sugar and dairy products
instead, especially in the case of prostate cancer and possibly breast
cancer too?
</b><div>
<b> </b></div>
<b>
</b><div>
<b>But what is it about <span style="color: red;">milk, sugar and obesity that increase cancer
risk</span>? Milk makes things grow. Unfortunately that includes cancer cells.
The reason is that it promotes insulin (or more specifically
insulin-like growth factor). So does sugar. Obesity is also strongly
linked to higher insulin levels and there is increasing evidence that it
is high insulin levels that drives weight gain, more than the other way
round.</b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It's all about insulin</strong></div>
<b>
</b><div>
<b>Insulin switches on all sorts of cancer-related genes and low
insulin switches on anti-cancer genes. "When you cut back on
carbohydrates, this smooths out the insulin spikes which can turn on
the cancer genes that help tumours to grow” says Dr Dominic D'Agostino,
assistant professor of molecular pharmacology at South Florida College
of Medicine.</b></div>
<b>
</b><b>The idea of starving cancer cells of insulin (and sugar) by giving an
extremely low GL 'ketogenic' diet isn't just restricted to animals.
Research published last year found it either slowed right down or
stopped cancer growth in five out of ten seriously ill cancer patients
who didn't want to, or couldn't have any more chemotherapy. While high
insulin is often thought to be a consequence of diabetes and obesity,
animal studies suggest it might be the other way around, with high
insulin driving obesity.</b><br />
<b>
</b><b>One doctor who's convinced that insulin is driving obesity is Dr Peter Attia, whose <a href="http://ac.patrickholford.com/lt.php?c=771&m=675&nl=258&s=70d33af3b6c08ec73a8c8c817d9b1524&lid=9943&l=-http--www.ted.com/talks/peter_attia_what_if_we_re_wrong_about_diabetes.html" target="_blank" title="TEDtalk">TED talk</a> is worth listening to.</b><br />
<b>My Burn Fat Fast diet combines several strategies for driving down insulin to <a href="http://ac.patrickholford.com/lt.php?c=771&m=675&nl=258&s=70d33af3b6c08ec73a8c8c817d9b1524&lid=9944&l=-http--www.patrickholford.com/index.php/burn_fat_fast/burn-fat-fast-video/" target="_blank" title="turnonyourskinygenes">'turn on your skinny genes'</a> which is the title of a short 4 minute film that I recommend you watch and share with your friends.</b><br />
<br />
This short film outlines 6 basic tenements:<br />
1- Low Glycemic diet<br />
2- Eating less on alternative days<br />
3- Strength training 8 minutes 3 days a week<br />
4- Cardiovascular workouts 30 minutes 3 days a week<br />
5- Chromium and Resversatrol supplements <br />
6- Eating less meat and dairy products (I think we should stay away from most dairy products)<br />
<br />
He has some great recipes at his website too. <br />
<a href="http://www.patrickholford.com/index.php/burn_fat_fast/recipes">http://www.patrickholford.com/index.php/burn_fat_fast/recipes</a><br />
<br />
I have continued to eat no sugar, dairy or wheat. I am eating a low carbohydrate diet and that excludes honey and maple syrup. I did find Swerve that is a good substitute sweetener from all accounts looks like something that can help with baking. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;"><span class="prodname">Swerve Sweetener</span>
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;">Swerve is a great-tasting all natural, zero-calorie sweetener and the
only one that tastes, measures, cooks and bakes like sugar. Unlike
other sugar alternatives, Swerve has no bitter aftertaste and a high
digestive tolerance (no laxative effect). From sweetening your favorite
beverage, to baking, and garnishing, Swerve is perfect for all your
sweetening needs. Swerve is an ideal choice for baking (one cup of
Swerve equals one cup of sugar) and as a general sweetener for those
concerned with calories or blood sugar levels. It's perfect for a
healthy diabetic lifestyle. Swerve has zero glycemic index, so it's
perfect for diabetics.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;">
Swerve is manufactured using a fermentation process and the outcome
is a sweet product that occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables.
Swerve is an all natural sweetener that is based on a proprietary
erythritol formulation and other naturally occurring ogliosaccharides
from plant fibers. This is a completely natural process; nothing is
chemically altered and Swerve is 100% non-allergenic.<br />
<br />
I bought a cookbook from Chapters that uses alternative sweeteners in baking. <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/home/books/the-joy-of-gluten-free/9781607741169-item.html?ikwid=the+joy+of+gluten+free%2c+sugar+free+baking&ikwsec=Home&gcs_requestid=0CNCb06HPhrcCFUaq5wodWQYAAA">http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/home/books/the-joy-of-gluten-free/9781607741169-item.html?ikwid=the+joy+of+gluten+free%2c+sugar+free+baking&ikwsec=Home&gcs_requestid=0CNCb06HPhrcCFUaq5wodWQYAAA</a> <br />
I actually use less then what the book says as we find it too sweet.<br />
I will post one of the recipes tomorrow. <br />

It is chock full of magnesium as you can see when you read this article by Sayer Ji who's website is <a href="http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/magnesiums-importance-far-greater-previously-imagined?utm_source=www.GreenMedInfo.com&utm_campaign=bfcccb98e2-Greenmedinfo&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_193c8492fb-bfcccb98e2-86776633" target="_blank">http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/magnesiums-importance-far-greater-previously-imagined?utm_source=www.GreenMedInfo.com&utm_campaign=bfcccb98e2-Greenmedinfo&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_193c8492fb-bfcccb98e2-86776633</a><br />
It is amazing how much magnesium brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds have. I make this all winter long buying organic cilantro when I can. In the summer I use basil, cilantro and parsley that I grow in pots on an old picnic table.<br />
<h3>
Toxic Metal Cleansing</h3>
Cilantro is most often cited as being effective for toxic metal
cleansing and rightfully so, this herb is a powerful, natural cleansing
agent. The chemical compounds in cilantro bind to toxic metals and
loosen them from the tissue. Many people suffering from mercury
exposure report a reduction in the often-cited feeling of disorientation
after consuming large and regular amounts of cilantro over an extended
period.<br />
<a href="http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/health-benefits-of-cilantro/">http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/health-benefits-of-cilantro/</a>
<br />
<h3>
Grow Your Own</h3>
If you have not ventured into growing your own food, an herb garden is a
fantastic project to begin with. Herbs are easy to grow, don’t need a
lot of space. Plus, that’s a great category to save a few bucks at the
grocery store on. Organic herb bunches are always at least a few
dollars and sometimes large portions can go unused. Cilantro is really
easy to grow and it’s ultra convenient to have your own organic plant
growing for your use.<br />

I started using almond flour with abandon. So much so that I gained 10 pounds. It is not a good substitute as you will know if you look at this article. <a href="http://empoweredsustenance.com/avoid-almond-flour/" target="_blank">http://empoweredsustenance.com/avoid-almond-flour/</a><br />
I am still looking at low carb options like flaxseed and a little almond flour for a bread. Still perfecting the one that I like. I will post one when I think it is good.<br />
Coconut flour seems to be a good substiute and I am working on different desserts.<br />
I am also avoiding honey and maple syrup because of the fructose which is damaging to the liver in quantities. <br />
My quick dessert at night is a little hempseed with melted coconut oil and a shake of cinnamon. It tastes good and satisfying. You could add a little sweetener of your choice.<br />
<br />
Here is a no sugar and less almond flour dessert. <b> </b><br />
<b> Strawberry Chocolate Crust Pie with Coconut Cream</b> <b>Topping</b> <br />
You will need 4 cups of strawberries total. <br />
Crust:<br />
1 cup almond flour<br />
1 cup coconut flour<br />
1 tbsp. New Roots Stevia Sugaa<br />
1/2 cup cocoa<br />
1/2 tsp. baking powder<br />
1/2 cup melted salted butter<br />
6 tbsp. coconut milk<br />
1 tbsp. vanilla extract<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly mist 9 to 10 inch pie pan with spray oil or rub with a little grapeseed oil.<br />
In large bowl, combine the almond flour, coocnut flour, stevia, cocoa powder and baking powder and whisk until well mixed. Add the butter, milk and vanilla and stir with a large spoon for 1 to 2 minutes. The will be stiff and playdough-like.<br />
Put the dough in the prepared pan. Spread the dough with your fingers, pressing it in an even layer to line the pan. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork to help prevent bubbles and air pockets.<br />
Bake for 10 minutes, rotate and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and firm to touch. Bring out of oven to cool.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile make the filling:<br />
1 cup trimmed strawberries pureed.<br />
1/3 cup cold water<br />
1 tbsp. New Roots Stevia<br />
Pinch salt<br />
1 1/2 tbsp. arrowroot mixed with 2 tbsp. water<br />
Puree or mash 1 cup of strawberries. Place in a small saucepan with water, stevia and salt.<br />
Cook, stirring over medium heat until boiling. Stir in arrowroot mixture and continue cooking until slightly thickened about 1 minute. Cool slightly.<br />
<br />
Trim the rest of the strawberries and slice into a large bowl. Pour filling over tip and mix well.<br />
Put into cooled crust.<br />
Make coconut cream by getting Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk and usually you can skim the cream off the top of the can. Put in bowl, add 1 tsp. of New Roots Stevia and 1 tsp. almond flavoring. Whip a bit and spread over top of pie.<br />
Put in fridge for a few hours until topping is solid.<br />
