menu for a day

A menu day for easy healthy living.

Delicious simplicity:
  • 7am *1pint of alkaline iodized water with lime and Himalayan salt
  • 10am *papaya, avocado, lemon and olives.
  • 1pm *guacamole/artichoke salsa w black beans rolled in raw nori
  • 3:30pm *cabbage,celery,cucumber and parsley juice blended (keep that fiber and chew your liquids!)
  • 6pm *crunchy garden salad made with lettuces and baby kale, soaked walnuts,feta or seed cheese,tomato, cilantro, and red cabbage. then a corn/dulse soup made with nut-mylk warmed slowly.
  • 8:30pm *flax crackers with tahini and maple syrup or a frozen blueberry/pineapple sorbet OR yogurt and ground flax custard w/maple
  • 10 pm *rooibos tea or water 1hr before bed
As many glasses of water in between as suits you. Whats so easy? Aside from forward prep of nut-mylks, crackers, soaked nuts and beans - nothing is more than 20 minutes to prepare and most is even less. Plus when you prepped those things you made enough for days so you can go with your taste buds for the days combo. This days meal plan provides a huge variety of nutrients and satisfaction bringing energy and creativity to tomorrows meal plan. Do plan ahead until your smooth at it so you won't be left to less wise choices but be flexible if the next day's taste does not match exactly!!

Work and exercise fit perfectly in between all these meals as they digest easily and quickly. Yoga might be nicest right after the lemon water and the veg juice is great after a walk or lifting some weights. You will see.

Remember to bless your gifts and don't rely on a lucky recipient of your beautiful food to express gratitude! Do it yourself. H2O and G2L (g=gratitude:L=Love!)

Addiction = Illumination

Addiction = Illumination
Your addictions are your path to wellness
As soon as try to give up even one favorite food or substance or habit , you come in contact with addiction in your own life. Its useless to judge anyone for what addictions they have because even a moments honest self examination will reveal to you your own human likeness, no matter how much worse you or society deem one addiction over another. Using a drink a drug a food a thought a person a video game a sexual experience and on and on is an attempt to assert complete control over our lives. To create a desired feeling rather than face the unknown, the fear, the discomfort we have over having, in essence, to sit and watch our lives unfold. By choosing alcohol or a food that numbs us, gives us the ability to function around that fear, and we "buy" control of our "moment" but become slaves to the substance we use to shield ourselves. As we know some of the substances take their toll in obvious ways . We become sick ,overweight or spiritually dead. Systems that show how a sick liver relates to anger issues for example or how laryngitis can happen when you have been afraid to speak up, may seem simplistic, but for many have offered a bread crumb trail to understanding how their emotions lead to a corresponding addiction which lead to a corresponding condition in the body. This trail can lead to the understanding it takes to deal with the emotional condition that unwinds the physical condition, rather than treating again and again the physical condition which either recurs with the occurrence of the craving for the substance or addiction that suppresses it momentarily.(or develops a new addiction and condition) http://louisehay.wwwhubs.com/
So lets say I smoke cigarettes to suppress my anger and frustration and develop the likely toxicity to smoking then my choice becomes to smoke or not to smoke. Lets say I choose to stop smoking but do not have any new way to deal with my anger and frustration. If I don't fall back into smoking perhaps I develop a new habit to suppress it like over eating candy. Soon I gain weight and have to face: giving up candy , losing weight and still needing a way to deal with my anger and frustration. Lets say someone or something clues me in and I now choose a more helpful way to deal with my anger and frustration like yoga and learning to accept people's actions and life situations OUT OF MY CONTROL .Now I am on my own spiritual path which has many huge benefits the least of which is my body and mind now prosper and finally I know peace despite the same activities around me. Lets take it a step deeper still and say now that my frequency has so improved I am able to deal with the addiction to being a victim of my circumstances and start having an ability to draw higher healthier circumstances to myself which ironically DOES put my life in my control. I become the creator of my universe and subsequently raise the consciousness of everything around me. http://www.whatthebleep.com
Maybe our addictiveness merely represents our longing to know God.
Maybe our personal addictions show us what needs to be healed personally and emotionally so that we may know God.
Maybe this longing for wholeness means that each illness or addiction developed is the blessing that puts us in awareness toward the purpose of our own spiritual path.

Toxemia - There is One disease

Toxemia - There is One disease
There is one cure - Detoxify
Stanley Burroughs was a big turning point in my health and wellness almost 10 years ago. After chasing a myriad of symptoms culminating in a devastating bug bite I drew the biggest breath when I read those words "there is only one disease". So many that I have met since then had a similar experience to mine, even tho they were using incredible products it wasn't until they addressed the toxicity in their bowel and tissues their health improved not much. After employing Stanley s 3 tier system of the lemonade diet , color therapy, and vita-flex with the guidance of Tom Woloshyn www.vitagem.com who had 25 years using Stanley s system I regained all and then some. I followed his diet 10-20 days a month for a year and a half. My life changed in every way. Products now worked great but soon I did not need them. How I felt led me to dietary changes that would support what I had gained. I still use this diet 3-4 times a year and also apply principals discovered by our dear Bernard Jensen on a colema board. I do this on the way to what I have come to believe is the best diet for maintaining a disease free body and best spiritual contact -the raw food diet.
Achieving the cleanest diet would in fact mean you need not cleanse as much but on your way to that state I am convinced nothing could be simpler than the Lemonade diet. Certainly nothing could be cheaper. Cheaper than eating. By supporting this with some deep cleansing on the colema board you ensure the results your seeking. Lemon and Cayenne are such superb cleansers for the tissues, I have watched bumps,scars,discolorations and other conditions disappear from the skin in less than 10 days on the diet.
Tom layers this work with emotional work ala Louise Hay and essential oils which further support that all healing is light therapy whether it is the Far infra red from hands on or the color therapy itself or foods (lem ; cayenne) or the essential oils which are bottled light!
As you detoxify your tissues and your colon, you detoxify your emotions and thoughts. Conversely with prayer and meditation you can assist your physical and emotional detoxification. Start where ever you are.

50 ways to leave your Dr...

You know Doctors are trained to administer drugs and apply surgeries. You would not go to your car mechanic for your health questions why go to a doctor? A check up can be useful but not if you are going to accept only their solutions to your health problem. If your arm is broken they are the place to go . For your health they will be treating the symptom for you but not usually the cause . To address the cause you need to do self inventory and find experts who deal in the root cause of dis-ease. Always get another opinion and don't be afraid to have one your self . It is my personal mission tho empower people and help them to see they have the power to heal themselves. Many have gone before and the info is out there for the plucking.

Are you 100% responsible for your health? Who do you imagine could be more of an authority for your health than you?Who else should make decisions about your body and what gets done to it? Why would you have a piece of your colon cut out before you tried colon cleansing? Why would you have stints put in your heart before learning how to remove plaque from your arteries? Without some one to blame for how your health is then you just might educate yourself to make the best choices. You might surround yourself with people who are also responsible for themselves and have a network of health practitioners to support healing the root cause if you have come up with a problem. Doctors can help you uncover the symptoms if you like but you should decide on a course of action not they. They are looking for the quick fix . You are looking for vibrant health.

The ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure works on many levels. If you have a headache you might take an aspirin but if you have it twice or three times you need to start asking questions. Who are you going to ask? When I was sick with a bug bite I had never been sick before and I had no network. While I was sick was a terrible time to try to put a network together for myself. My doctor did not know what to do for it either. I did what I could and found my way well again but it was almost a year later I Picked up the right book and realized what I had was toxemia and what I needed to do was to detoxify. I was so toxic a bug bite was the straw that broke the camels back to my declining immune system. No doctor told me to do cleansing but once I did all, my symptoms cleared up and I have never suffered the like again.

I believe their is an obvious progression in our personal and planetary health. We gave up personal responsibility for our health a while back to "authorities". We lost the feeling we could take care of ourselves. We stopped growing our own food and started eating all kinds of processed manufactured food and did not even notice the correlation in declining health. No doctor ever said to me Stop the kraft macaroni and cheese and get some fresh vegetables. The worse we felt the less we cared and soon we were content to sit in filled waiting rooms awaiting our verdict since everyone else needed a drug or a surgery surely we would too. We fell asleep over our dead foods and no one said anything about cleansing. Numbed we fell like sheep to wolves....

Modern day foraging has become for me the daily quest; for a fresh un ~ modified food source. Recently my coop got some raw food items. Finally! I could forage locally. Usually I search on line for fresh , organic, non-gmo . Then you have to find the stores that care about local farming. We didn't know our foods were becoming so toxic perhaps but now we do and the current revolution is happening over our right to regular old god given foods. The toxic foods feed only the medical / pharmaceutical paradigm. NOw we know , now we wake up and now we learn again how to care for ourselves and our families and food is the front line.

Cleansing is also so important for us to learn because how else will we undo all those build-ups of bad food in our bodies. Once you have felt good again you won't want to go back, and if we as consumers demand something and only buy that something then someone will look to fulfill the demand. Let the revolution begin.(already has)

We are calling non medical modalities the alternatives to medical intervention but I would like to point out that surgery and drugs are the newest and most experimental answers to epidemic dis-ease. How did raw diet and or Tibetan reflexology get called alternative when those modalities far outlive the medical solutions. Please let me say here I am not against technology I am so glad we have excelled at the repair and lifesaving techniques if one has had an accident and needs a second chance at their life. Or a blood test to get a marker on how how nutrition is registering in the body then thank heaven for good science and medical facilities! I am just saying it is not a solution to bad eating and the toxic over lode of modern living.

Along with 100% responsibility for our own health is learning to think for our selves. You must be willing to be a sheep to become victim to a wolf. We are not victims and we have choice. What we need is to just come out of our 40 - 50 years of sleep to wake up and get creative with how we want our lives to be going. Most people can tell the difference between what feels good and what feels bad so why would we keep repeating what feels bad.

Another supply and demand point is to demand doctors who are aware of alternatives. If those doctors waiting rooms are busier with thriving people then the doctors who refuse to learn and grow and adapt with the revolution at hand then they will die out like the dinosaurs that they are.

How many times have you heard from a dear aging soul if I knew I would be living this long I would have paid more attention and taken better care.

Being sick can take all day, everyday .

Getting your health humming frees you up for creative pursuit and fulfilling life purpose.

Health is a journey and not an end point.

Progress not perfection because what is perfection anyway . Today's perfection is not tomorrows. What we needed lots of yesterday could be way to much for today. Balance could be the goal and learning to listen with a willingness to change.

You might see that there is much denial all around. Deny denial. How do you know your in denial if your in denial?

Make a check list : today and each day ask....
  • How happy am I ?
  • How healthy am I ?
  • Who are you blaming for whats happening/not happening for you?

The strongest act of self-love is being full of responsibility for myself. No lecturing will teach it, really.... but be it and watch; it catches like wild fire.

Start where ever you are. Many have had to get sick before they wake up. (that doesn't mean you have too!) That's how it was for me. In getting sick I realized I had spent a great deal of my time in self destructive and unconscious behaviors. I decided to choose life and do my best with what this life was for. How exciting to realize I am my life's creator!! Releasing victim mentality is a process and the journey to wellness is quite fun. Releasing the doubt that you can heal yourself is a process and the breadcrumb trail back to a self empowered reality. Ask the questions and you will get the answers. The right people always show up just when you need them and you are also showing up for someone just when they need you.

Don't worry if everything I or anyone says does not resonate for you; just have a look to see what does and use it! My focus tends to the physical ,tangible, practical modalities but I don't think it matters where you start in your healing journey , physical /mental/emotional/spiritual are overlapping and simultaneous , start where you are.
