Green Smoothies Testimonial

No Veggies for me!!!
By Kevy Houser



I just wanted to say a few words about the green smoothies so I'll just tell you that I have a husband who won't touch fruits and vegetables, and a 15 month old baby who hates food altogether!! So I have been blending green smoothies for all of us and we have had great success ......... both my husband and baby love them!! I would have never thought a baby who won't eat anything but her bottle full of milk would consider these green ugly looking drinks but she drinks them until she is out of breath! My husband won't quit asking for them and he leaves for work at 4:00 early morning so he isn't able to get one in before work but he has tried to get me to make them for him anyway.

Thanks green smoothies!

God's Pharmacy


GOD'S PHARMACY
by, Tammy Frandsen

It has been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish ... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. these are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners ...

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!

God's Pharmacy! Amazing!



A sliced carrot looks like a human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye ... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.



Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.



Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.



Sweet potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.



Olive assist the health and function of the ovaries.



Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.



Avocados, eggplant and pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).



Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.



A walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.



Oranges, Grapefruits, and other citrus fruits look just like the mammory glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of the lymph in and out of the breasts.



A tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.



Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

MY HAPPY COLON
By Deb Dowdle

In my experience with improving my own health, the most effective thing I have done to date is to get intense hydrotherapy and homeopathic consultation. It has changed my life for the better. I started my healing process in October of 2008 after failed attempts in the medical industry. I did have a tumor removed which was helpful. But as far as healing goes, I was left on my own to figure it out. And figure it out I did! Now, February 2009, I am doing great. I avoided a second surgery and rigorous drug therapy by doing a full detox program and moving to a strict diet. It has improved my life dramatically. Believe me, it was not easy. IT IS HARD to change a person's habits of many years. But the alternative is so much worse. It's funny how we finally do what we know we should when our health -- or life -- is at stake.   

I am placing some text from Elizabeth King's website below. She is the hydrotherapist I have been working with. Quite a few of my friends have also worked with her and they've had wonderful results as well. They'll all agree that it's not easy. But I challenge you to find one person who hasn't found great benefit in the process.



The Colon Cleanse

The person on a typical Western Diet holds 8 meals of undigested food and waste material in the colon. Many people are under the impression that they only need to have one bowel movement a week or less. Bowel disease, constipation, colon cancer, and stomach pain are all disorders that are leading to what is called the "Silent Killer in America." What people don't realize is that a toxic body shows itself in many other ways too. Everything from back pain, hemorrhoids, and ulcers to skin conditions, diarrhea, bad breath and sinus congestion.

Colon health and colon problems are the most overlooked health problems in today's society. Due to the poor diet in America, 200  million people suffer from constipation and do not have the required two to three bowel movements daily. The average person, by the time they are 30 years old, in America, has been 10 to 15 pounds of hard compacted fecal matter in their bowel. Often times much of this matter is over 10 years old.

This is a toxic body.

There is a natural solution to a body full of stored toxins. Colon Hydrotherapy cleanses the colon by breaking down toxic material and removing it. The liver, gallbladder, kidneys, bladder, lungs, lymph, blood and skin are also cleansed. The results are immediate and healing can begin.

My Raw Pregnancy
By: Caramie Baker


My first pregnancy at 7 months along

I have been eating 90-95% raw for the last few years and I have absolutely loved the food, not only for its flavor, but for the amazing health benefits as well. I feel so much more alive and energetic. My husband and I decided we wanted to try for our second child in December of 08 and I made a decision to start eating 100% raw to fully benefit the baby and myself. So far this pregnancy tops my last one - no exceptions.

My first pregnancy was in 2005 and I ate like every other person I know. Steak, chicken, fast food, pastas, or whatever hot food I could find out of the box, along with whatever sugar I could find (I loved candy). By the third week of being pregnant I started throwing up in the mornings and by the sixth week I was throwing up 3-10 times a day -- no exaggeration. I started my pregnancy out at 155 pounds and by the end I weighed 125. I had lost 30 pounds that I didn't have to loose in the first place. I always looked pale and deathly ill. I spent four months doing nothing but laying in bed and occasionally doing my homework for college online on my laptop in bed. I had to completely stop working for the first four months until I just couldn't take it anymore and I went to work sick and all. My morning sickness never gave up like most peoples and I was throwing up even the night before my baby was born. I had even gone to the doctor and got one of the most potent nausea drugs (Zolfran) and while it helped at times the nausea continued. I remember laying in the hospital bed after my baby was born and almost cried because I was eating mashed potatoes (the hospital's ... yuck) and the nausea was gone. My poor husband had to sit there for nine months and watch and do nothing but pray that I was going to be okay. I honestly thought I would not go through another pregnancy again.

Over three years later I have decided to go at it again. After doing so much research on raw and vegan pregnancies I realized that so much of my nausea was from the foods I ate. It can be avoided. I ate completely raw up until I was six months along at which I had no signs of nausea and could function completely normal. And then I decided to experiment. I gave in to cooked foods and ate several healthy meals that were cooked. Within 24 hours I threw up for the first time. For that whole week I had eaten no sugar and ate things such as soups, mashed potatoes, bread. Although I have only thrown up three times, I felt nauseated several times throughout the day. As for me, I am convinced that raw is the way for me. I am happy that I felt a little nauseated as it is your bodies way of saying your baby is healthy and I am trying to protect it. This week I have been pushing myself to eat raw again, although it has been hard when it's easy to crave those warm carb foods. I already notice a difference and am excited to see the health benefits it will bring to my baby. Although I still have a ways to go, I look forward to keeping you up to date on the benefits of eating raw/vegan while being pregnant.

 
Give Jicama a Try!
by Jolynn Collins


What is Jicama?

Also known as the Mexican potato, jicama is a large root vegetable resembling a turnip. It has a thin brown skin and white flesh that is similar to the radish. Three-quarters of a cup of sliced jicama has 41 calories and supplies 175 milligrams of potassium and meets 33 percent of the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C. Jicama has anticoagulant properties that were first reported as a result of the substitution of jicama for water chestnuts in a Chinese recipe. Jicama should be peeled and sliced; it has a sweet, nutty, crunchy flavor and can be eaten raw or cooked. Try it in stir-fry dishes. Or you can use it in place of potatoes - it is less starchy and has fewer calories. It's texture is similar to that of water chestnuts.

Jicama Nutrients

Key nutrients in jicama include calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, folate, and fiber.
