I’ve been inside a lot over the past winter and spring months and because of this, I realize that I was not getting as much sunshine, exercise, or fresh fruits and vegetables as I would like.

Summer is a great time to cleanse our body and get ourselves into more optimum health, so that we can have the best quality of life.

In the last few years, it has become more and more apparent to me that many health challenges these days of people and pets are actually a result of toxic overload and parasites.

According to Dr. Gordo Crozier, DO, an integrative physician in Orlando, more than 60 million people in the USA are infected with parasites.

“Because parasites are spread by pets, contaminated water and improperly handled food, they’re becoming an increasingly common health threat in the U.S.” (1)

We can also obtain parasites from other things, such as ingesting dirt particles that are not completely washed off of food, eating meat, walking barefoot outdoors, traveling in other countries, drinking tap water, and swimming in lakes or ponds.

According to Dr. David Jockers, the eggs of parasites hatch during full moons, so he has a full moon parasite cleansing protocol. (2)

What are Parasites?

“A parasite is a living organism that lives off of another living organism, which is called a “host.” There are three basic classes of these organisms”, according to Dr. Jockers. (3)

• • “Protozoa: These parasites are single-cell microscopic organisms that can multiply or divide within the host. They are transmitted from person to person through fecal matter, blood, or insect bites. An example is the parasite Plasmodium, which causes malaria.
  • Helminths: These are worm parasites. They are larger, multi-celled organisms that may be visible to the naked eye. Examples are roundworms, pinworms, trichina spiralis, tapeworms, and flukes. It is estimated that half of the world’s population (over 3 billion people) is infected with at least one of three worms: roundworm, hookworm, or whipworm (4).
    Ectoparasites: These live on (rather than in) their hosts. Ectoparasites are also described as “blood-sucking arthropods.” Examples are lice, bed bugs, and fleas.” (5)

In the US, parasites are often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. But I have learned over the years that many of the “diseases” people are diagnosed with can actually be caused by parasites.

According to Columbia University parasitologist Dickson Despommier, “About half the world’s population (over 3 billion people) are in infected with at least one of the three worms forming what he calls the “unholy trinity”—large roundworm, hookworm and whipworm. (6)

Dr. Bryan Ardis was on my radio/TV show in May, and he said that if you have a pet, then you have parasites. He mentioned this as he was expanding on how he believes MS could actually be caused by parasites in the brain. (7)

 Dr. Lee Merritt has done some video interviews and shows, concerning her understanding that most cancers are actually parasites and parasite eggs. She said she was taught in medical school that “there really wasn’t a parasite problem in people in the US.”  (8)

There is a problem, and Dr. Merritt believes there is a lack of education for health care providers on this subject and health challenge. In one of her most recent videos, she addressed the parasite/cancer situation: “Cancer is Parasites, the Scientific Evidence, and What to Do About it.” (9)

In this video, she stated that “They have known that Cancer is caused by parasites since 1906.  A Nobel Prize was given for this discovery then covered up.” (10) She goes on to say that symptoms caused by parasitic infections are usually misdiagnosed because they are similar to many common ailments.

Some of these examples are:

An peptic ulcer may actually be a roundworm infection.
Diabetes and Hypoglycemia can be a result of tapeworms.

Parasites could be the cause of health challenges like chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, type 1 diabetes (T1D), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Crohn’s disease.

 I have come to the conclusion, after speaking with many doctors and doing a lot of research, that parasites mainly feed on toxins and heavy metals, including mercury. (We can get mercury from the new energy saving lightbulbs, skin care products, dental fillings, vaccines, fish, and tap water.)

Unfortunately, parasites also feed on the essential nutrients in our body. They deplete their host (human, animal, fowl, fish) of nutrition, while at the same time excreting toxins, adding to a toxic overload in the body.
 I understand from my research that we, in the US, are living in a pretty toxic-saturated environment.

Typically, we can be exposed to approximately 40 to 400 chemicals a day from air, water, food, cleaning fluids, fire retardants, EMF’s, energy saving devices, insect sprays, lawn fertilizers, herbicides, body care products, sunscreens, and the list goes on.

Dr. Ardis mentioned that he believes we could realistically be exposed to as many as 5000 chemicals a day! As long as we have these chemicals in our body, parasites have an abundance of food to attract them and support them.

 Dr. Bernard Jensen, an expert in colon research and therapy, states that “the average person over 40 years of age has between 5 and 25 pounds of buildup in their colon. . . Parasites of all sizes thrive in this undisposed residue of fecal matter, slowly but surely toxifying the whole body.” (11) 

90% of Americans have Parasites

We’re talking about nasty critters like whipworms, tapeworms, roundworms, and toxoplasma.

Gut problems like these are usually the first sign:

• Stomach cramps
• Vomiting or nausea
• Loose stools

But parasites don’t just harm your digestion.
 If you feel like you are always hungry, always tired, have achy joints, depression, rashes, hives, insomnia or disrupted sleep, itchiness (frequently in the private parts), yeast flare-ups, abdominal pain or cramping, diarrhea, bloating, coughing or wheezing, food allergies, weakness, or dizziness, you may indeed have parasites. (12)

Dr. Peter Wina, chief of patho-biology at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, says, “We have a tremendous parasitic problem right here in the US. It is just not being addressed.” (13)

Joseph Sterling wrote in his newsletter, Secrets of Robust Health, that parasitic infection is common: Humans can play host to over 100 different kinds of parasites, ranging from microscopic to several-feet-long tapeworms. Contrary to popular belief, parasites are not restricted to our colon alone, but can be found in other parts of the body: the lungs, the liver, the muscles and joints, the esophagus, the brain, the blood, the skin, and even in the eyes. (14)

Some common symptoms of parasitic infection are: constipation, gas and bloating, diarrhea, back pain, joint and muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, insatiable hunger, itchy ears, nose, or anus, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, nervousness, grumpiness, chronic fatigue, lethargy or apathy, various skin problems, problems sleeping, nutritional deficiencies or anemia, problems with the immune system, teeth grinding or clenching, weight gain, forgetfulness, dizziness, and blurry vision.

These symptoms are all worth trying to remedy with a simple detoxification cleanse. 
The most important thing with a good parasite cleanse is that you stick with it as exactly as directed, in order to get rid of all of the egg sacks and the hatched larva that the parasites may have laid in the body.

Whenever there is a full moon, parasite eggs usually hatch. Knowing that, it would be a good idea to start a parasite cleanse during a full moon, and continue your cleanse at least a week or two after a full moon.

Following are some natural ways to help keep your body’s immune so strong, it will help prevent parasites.

Eat raw organic fruits and vegetables

It is especially important to make sure you are eating raw organic fresh fruits and vegetables with your meals, because these contain live enzymes. 

Raw plant-based enzymes take apart foreign proteins and expose the hidden parasites, which have cloaked themselves in a protein coating. The immune system cannot see the cloaked parasites, so it doesn’t know to get rid of them. This is especially true for someone who eats a mostly meat diet. But, when you eat raw, organic vegetables and fruits, the body has a plentiful supply of enzymes that go searching for proteins to eat. It is these enzymes that search the body and find and ingest the protein coating off of the parasites and egg sacks, revealing them to the immune system. The immune system sees the danger and destroys the yeasts, parasites, and any other pathogens.

According to the Britannica, the foods and essential oils of spices and herbs can be used to help remedy a parasitical infestation. (15)

Spices and herbs are “parts of various plants cultivated for their aromatic, pungent, or otherwise desirable substances. Spices and herbs consist of rhizomes, bulbs, fruit, seeds, leaves, barks, flower buds, and stigmas. They are commonly divided into the categories of spices, spice seeds, and herbs. (16)

Garlic

Garlic, throughout history, has been used to treat many health challenges, including viruses, fungi, bacteria, parasites, and cancer. It is a powerful food. It can even chelate (remove) heavy metals from the body. Ingesting garlic can also be a way to prevent mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas from wanting to bite you. (17)

Black Walnut-Nuts & Hull

The nuts and green hulls of black walnut (Juglans nigra) are a favorite of holistic health herbalists because of their ability to cleanse the blood and the intestines. Black walnut hull is used to cure fungal infections. The juice taken from the green hulls are used to kill parasites. Only green hulls should be used. (18)

Wormwood – (Ivermectin is the pharmaceutical version of Wormwood)

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a perennial herb with tiny yellow-green flowers. The leaves and flowers are frequently used as a stomach problem remedy, and are an effective remedy for intestinal worms. It is advised to avoid taking wormwood if you are a nursing woman. Wormwood has powerful antimicrobial attributes, and can be used for many other types of infections. (19)

Cloves

Another favorite of mine is cloves. Clove buds are an important herb used in Ayurvedic medicines for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections and for worms. 
This treatment has been used for thousands of years. Cloves contain a powerful oil (eugenol), which has been researched and found to help in the eradication of many pathogens in the gut, including parasites. Clove oil has been found to dissolve the eggs left behind by worms. It is believed to be the only oil that destroys almost all parasite eggs. Clove is such an incredibly strong broad-spectrum spice/oil/herb because of its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and powerful antimicrobial properties. (20)

Thyme

Thyme is one of the most effective herbs for stimulating the thymus, a major gland of the immune system.  Thyme contains natural volatile oils which are known to help strengthen the immune system. The essential oil of thyme can eliminate the growth of many parasites, and it can kill them in the intestinal tract, as well as reduce intestinal cramping. (21)

Oil Of Oregano

Oil of oregano is one of the most powerful essential oils. It is important to buy one that is not diluted down with olive oil or another carrier oil.  This oil is extremely powerful in crushing free radicals, and it is antiparasitic, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. It is an indiscriminate destroyer of the bad pathogens, and can aid in resetting the microbial environment in the intestines. Many studies show the effectiveness of essential oil of oregano with everything from parasitical infections to cancer. There is a study that shows an Inhibition of enteric parasites by emulsified oil of oregano in vivo. (22)

Diatomaceous Earth

Food grade diatomaceous earth (which is finely crushed sea shells) is what I frequently use for eliminating fleas and ticks in my yard and on my pets. Diatomaceous earth absorbs methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses, organophosphate pesticide residues, and drug residues. Its positive effects include killing intestinal parasites, balancing the intestinal flora, killing viruses, and absorbing toxins. (23) It is highly recommended for intestinal cleanses, but it is a very fine powder, so avoid inhaling it.

Reishi Mushrooms

Reishi mushrooms grow wild on decaying logs and also on trees. Reishi mushrooms have anti-tumor and anti-oxidative properties. They can promote lower blood pressure and lower glucose levels. Reishi mushrooms have been used to successfully treat hepatitis B, glomerulosclerosis, ulcers, and they are also antifungal and antiparasitic. (24)

Pumpkin Seed

“Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil are rich in fatty acids, zinc, copper, sterols, anti-inflammatory agents, and amino acids. Pumpkin seeds are used to treat worms, especially tapeworms. Even though it’s not the fastest parasite killer; it works. The recommendation is to eat raw, organic, sprouted pumpkin seeds every day for several weeks.” (25)  I freshly grind them up and sprinkle them on my salads, as well as my pet’s food.

Pomegranate Seed

Pomegranate has many health benefits, and for decades the pomegranate seed has been used to treat infections from the most common parasites found in humans: roundworms, pinworms and tapeworms. (26)

Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay is a volcanic ash containing a multitude of minerals. Historically, Native Americans used it for detoxifying and cleansing their bowels. They called it Ee-Wah-Kee, meaning “the mud that heals.” Bentonite has the ability to bind with toxins, drugs, and heavy metals, and draw them out of the body. Many of those are actually what parasites feed on.

I had a cyst on my wrist, and I didn’t want to have surgery to remove it. I started using bentonite clay on a daily basis with my High-Fiber Cleanse. Within three weeks, the cyst had disappeared. Dr. Merritt said to me that the cyst was probably a parasite egg sack. (27)

Strongly polarized, bentonite clay has a powerful electromagnetic field when hydrated. It can attract and hold on to various forms of radiation, and it has the ability to pick up a great deal more than its own weight in positively charged particles. 

Dr. Jensen, ND, DC, PhD, suggested using bentonite clay to absorb the radiation in your bones, which are often subjected to radiation through the use of X-rays, computers, television, and radiation treatments for cancer. (28)

The medical community has found bentonite clay to have amazing healing properties. 

One study by a research duo from Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences found that  “Unlike conventional antibiotics routinely administered by injection or pills, the so-called “healing clays” could be applied as rub-on creams or ointments to keep MRSA infections from spreading. . . The clays also show promise against a wide range of other harmful bacteria, including those that cause skin infections and food poisoning. . . Their study, one of the first to explore the antimicrobial activity of natural clays in detail, was presented at the 235th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society. . .” (29)

In addition to finding that MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was susceptible to bentonite clays, they found the clays exhibited antimicrobial effects against Mycobacterium ulcerans (which is related to tuberculosis, and results in a flesh-digesting disease) and two causes of food poisoning: E. coli and Salmonella. (30)

Arizona State University found that some bentonite clays were contaminated. So, only use food-grade bentonite clay that is specifically labeled safe for internal use. (31)

 I also recommend using a wood, plastic, ceramic, or glass bowl and spoon when using bentonite clay. Avoid using a metal bowl and spoon, because the metal will react with the clay and reduce most of its healing properties.

Bentonite clay can bind with a lot of various toxins, like mercury, EMF’s, graphene oxide, and even some parasites.  I use food grade for people and pets, because this helps eliminate the food the parasites feed on.

Here is a link for some Food Grade Bentonite Clay Capsules I have recommended to my clients. 

Activated Charcoal

Another supplement that can eliminate the toxins that parasites feed on is activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is also wonderful for nausea and diarrhea in people and pets.

Here is a link for one brand that I have used. Wild Activated Charcoal Capsules from 100% Organic Coconut Shells. 

I recommend taking your healthy nutritional supplements in the morning.
Then I recommend taking the detox supplements 1 or 2 hours after the evening meal, because we naturally detoxify overnight.

Herbal Remedies

Always use caution when working with herbal remedies, because some of them should not be combined with others. Do your research.

The good news is that any side effects from herbs are less likely to bother you than anything on the warning label of every single pharmaceutical.

In your research, you might ask a knowledgeable herbal practitioner before taking any of the above suggestions, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.

A healthy diet should be followed whenever doing a cleanse, but especially when taking broad-spectrum antimicrobial supplements.

You might weaken some of the beneficial bacteria in your body, and you will want to replenish these, because these beneficial bacteria are what create your immune system.

Here are a few of my favorite parasite remedies.

Iodine Supplementation

Iodine supports our thyroid and is missing from most foods today. It dissipates when it touches oxygen, so white iodized salt is not an effective way to ingest iodine. I read Dr. David Brownstein’s book, “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It” many years ago. He explains how we need iodine on a regular basis, to be healthy and to have our thyroid function properly.

He says “it is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. He says iodine deficiency can contribute to: breast cancer, fibrocystic breast disease, detoxification, fatigue, Graves’ disease, and Hashimoto’s disease and may be the root cause of thyroid problems including hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer.” (32)

As a Certified international wildlife rehabilitator, I know that animals require iodine also. I recommend at least one drop of iodine a day for cats and dogs.

What I have learned since then is that iodine is antimicrobial and can disrupt the cellular structure of intestinal parasites. It can also disrupt parasite metabolism, making it more difficult for them to survive. (33)

The bentonite clay, pumpkin seed, moringa leaf powder, and psyllium husk cleanse is one you can make at home.

Moringa leaf powder has a variety of health benefits, from increased wound healing to managing blood glucose. (34). This cleanse can help rid your body of many types of parasites.

I have been doing a cleanse like this for almost 40 years.

Ingredients:

1 tsp. organic psyllium husks


1/8 teaspoon (or less) bentonite clay


1⁄2 tsp. freshly ground, fresh, organic, raw sprouted pumpkin seeds

½ tsp. raw, organic moringa powder

8 oz. purified water

There are anti-parasite cleanses on the market.
Here are a few listed below.

My favorite is the Harmful Organism Cleanse Program by GLOBAL HEALING. Dr. Ed Group creates these products in his own facility. He tests his products for quality, effectiveness, and origin of ingredients. Here is the link for Global Healing.

When doing the parasite cleanse for the first time, you may need to do it for an entire three months (90 days). I recommend this, because you want to make sure you rid your body of the parasite as it goes through all of the stages of life. You do not want it to re-emerge in the future, which can happen if it is in a stage not addressed by the cleanse.

Another parasite cleanse you can do is 
Freedom Cleanse and Restore Protocol from Dr. Bryan Ardis. Here is a link for Dr. Ardis’ website.

Research Verified Paraset is another parasite remedy on the market.   120 Capsules – Natural Gut Health Enhancer – Garlic Bulb, Papain, Sweet Wormwood, Black Walnut

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger has information on parasites.  Click here.

When my daughter joined the Peace Corp and moved to Mali Africa, she lived in a mud hut with a dirt floor, no modern bathroom, no electricity, no running water, and she had to get her water from a well. She also ate all the food the villagers made her, in order to maintain her friendly relationship with the people. It is a terrible insult in many cultures around the world to turn down a food or drink offering.

So, when my daughter lived there in that tiny rural village, she started getting more prominently diagnosed parasites. She had to do some tough parasite cleanses while she was there and also when she returned to the US. She is very dedicated to eating healthy and detoxifying on a regular basis, since she is still quite the world traveler and loves nature. In fact, that is my daughter and I swimming in a river in Cambodia, in 2014, bathing an elephant in the photo above. She has a love of nature and adventure like I do and we share that love.

Being someone who loves being out in nature, I realize that I have been doing natural parasite protection protocols my whole life and I didn’t even realize it. (The iodine supplementation that I have been doing for around 25 years, is one of them.)

When our immune system is strong and we are eating nutrient-rich fresh fruits and vegetables, then our body can be strong enough to defend itself against these types of organisms. But when we are ingesting processed, low-nutrient dense foods, microwaved or irradiated foods, or chemicals and toxins, and municipal tap water, these can contribute to a weakened immune system, and our defenses to stay well begin to get broken down.

Adding some of the healthy, anti-oxidant rich foods, with a high pH, is a way one can boost the body’s immune system, detoxify the body from acids and toxins, and boost overall health.

Adding healthy, organic spices, herbs, mushrooms, barks, minerals, and essential oils and other natural remedies, is such an easy way to prevent parasites from proliferating or thriving in the body.

I believe at this point in time, it is important to be aware that parasites can be a real problem in health challenges today. So, cleansing our body of parasitical infections is paramount. Whether you believe you might have parasites or not, I believe that what we ingest directly impacts our health. Because of this I believe avoiding refined foods, sugar, artificial additives and sweeteners, junk food, microwaved foods and liquids, irradiated foods and liquids, and all GMO food is a great way to start. I simply avoid buying those foods and I find other ways to eat delicious foods that are organic, healthy, fresh, and in their most natural form.

One thing I have believed in for a very long time, is that “food in our medicine” and what we ingest becomes our cells, tissue, and blood, and thus directly impacts our health.

My closing thought is that I wanted to make you more aware of the prevalence of parasites in our bodies today.

Please research the various cleanses I have listed and choose the one that best suits you.

You might also want to do a parasite test, such as the one Dr. Ardis offers on his website.

Adding more healthy foods and liquids to your diet, could improve your immune system, raise your pH, naturally prevent parasites, and contribute to optimum health.

Education is power stay enlightened and I encourage you to live your life to the fullest.

The post What Are Some Of The Real Health Challenges Today? appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

I am reminded of a story I read in 1995 of two twin baby girls. When they were born, Oct. 17, 1995, they were premature by 12 weeks and put in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Medical Center in Central Massachusetts in Worcester. As a standard practice of the hospital, the babies were placed into separate incubators in order to reduce the risk of infection.

One baby, Kyrie, was much larger than her sister Brielle, who only weighed two pounds at her birth. The larger baby, Kyrie, slept well and was healthily gaining weight, but her smaller sister, Brielle, was having trouble breathing and had low levels of oxygen in her blood, as well as low weight gain and problems with her heart rate. Everyone was deeply concerned, especially a particular nurse named Gayle Kasparian, who was trying everything that she could think of to help Brielle.

Then, on Nov. 12th, Brielle had an emergency health situation. She started gasping for air and started turning a gray-blue color; then she got hiccups and her heart rate went way up. Everyone was so afraid Brielle would not survive.

In desperation, nurse Kasparian remembered a common procedure a fellow colleague had mentioned to her once, that was common practice in most of Europe, but not done here in that country. It was the practice of placing newborn baby multiple births in beds together.

They called it double bedding. Even though she could not ask permission from her manager, because she was away and not able to reached, she asked the parents permission to put the girls together in one bed to see if it would help. They agreed. So, nurse Gayle, broke the rules and placed the larger baby sister with her smaller, now in extreme danger of dying.

The moment they were together, Brielle immediately snuggled up to her sister and within minutes, Brielle’s readings for her blood and oxygen were better than they had been since her birth. Kyrie gently put her arm around Brielle. It was such a beautiful, heartwarming, loving hug.

In the article I read, they called it a rescuing hug. It was a very powerful hug. Being together had quite literally saved Brielle’s life. It wasn’t much later that the parents were able to take the girls home, because they both were thriving.

Nurse Gayle did not get in trouble. In fact, the practice of double bedding multiple births is now a standard practice at the hospital. Sometimes, breaking the rules can lead to changes in old antiquated practices. It takes courage and a strong heart to do what you believe in.

More recently, CNN’s, Lisa Sylvester, did an updated report on the girls and showed them as teenagers. They said it was a hug that changed the course in medicine. Here is the news update.
 
So, as we lead our busy lives, remember that our connectedness and our ability to love are so precious, that we can literally save another’s life by just being there for them. Share those wonderful hugs and smiles with your loved ones. Take the time to truly listen, (while looking them in the eye, avoiding multitasking: being on your cell phone, computer, or watching TV.), be present, and reach out with the most precious gift you can give. That is the precious gift of you. You may never know how much of an impact that hug or smile might have on another’s life, but it is something you can give everyday without spending a penny.

I am mentally sending love and hugs to you all!
Love, Nancy

And yet, some of these foods use ingredients or cooking techniques that may not be as healthy as we might desire. Eating these foods doesn’t always make our body feel at its best. So, I thought I would provide you with a few ingredient or food choice tips which you can substitute to make some family recipes or dishes that are healthier to enjoy, and which also promote optimum health during the holiday season.

Potatoes are a nutrient-rich comfort food, but most people have traditionally used white potatoes, since there weren’t many other choices at the grocery store, and since this was what they were used to eating. However, a healthier choice when preparing a potato dish would be to consider using sweet or purple sweet potatoes in place of white potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are delicious and high in fiber and beta-carotene. Kansas State University has been studying the potential health benefits of the purple sweet potato and its anti-cancer properties. Purple sweet potatoes typically contain unusually high amounts of anthocyanin, which is a powerful anti-cancer pigment. Anthocyanins can be red, blue or purple depending on the food’s chemical structure. (These anthocyanins of blue, red, and purple color pigment can also be found in many colorful fruits, like blueberries, black raspberries, and red grapes.) Anthocyanins are known to have antiangiogenic properties. (Angiogenesis means the growth of new blood vessels. Anti-angiogenic means that it stops tumors from growing their own blood vessels.)  As I often state, the antioxidants are the color pigment of the food.

These dark purple, blue, and red foods also contain phenols. Phenols are organic compounds naturally occurring in certain foods, that have anti-aging and antioxidant components.  Additionally, an American Chemical Society study found that eating purple potatoes may lower blood pressure.

For a healthy stuffing, try making one with organic sprouted rice, wild rice or sprouted organic bread stuffing (using a bread like Ezekiel or Alvarado Bakery) in place of the white, refined bread. Then, bake your stuffing in a separate dish instead of cooking it inside the turkey (where it can absorb a high amount of saturated fat from the meat.) Also, use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Doing both of these things allows the vegetarian or vegan diners to be able to enjoy that dish as well.

When making cornbread stuffing, purchase the non-GMO, organic cornmeal (which is free of the bT toxin). If you are feeling brave, try using blue cornmeal, which is about 30 percent higher in protein and has more zinc and iron than white or yellow corn.

When preparing creature (turkey or other types of meat) foods, try using a little orange juice and coconut oil to add moisture, and try baking them instead of frying them. If you are baking, frying or sautéing anything, use organic, pure coconut oil or avocado oil in place of lard, vegetable oil or a trans-fat like Crisco. They handle heat well and have fantastic health benefits.

For other types of animal, fish or fowl, you can grill, broil, or sauté them in a little coconut oil. After you remove them from the heat, you can drizzle some pure, organic, extra virgin olive oil on them and serve with lemon juice or a lemon juice vinaigrette. When dining, choose skinless, white meat pieces, and then add just a tiny bit of gravy.

Now for dessert, try making a pumpkin pie! You can make a whole sprouted grain crust yourself or you can find a whole grain ready-made crust at the store, and serve the coconut milk whipped cream for the topping. It’s delicious and it’s a great way to cut down on dairy.

For dessert, I also love having a simple pitted date as a sweet treat. It’s just fruit, and it is a healthier choice.
Try using non-dairy milk in your recipes or for your coffee creamer. If you want it to be sweeter, blend the milk (like the unsweetened, vanilla coconut or hemp milk) with a little extra added vanilla or maple extract in a blender and add some pitted dates. I soak the pitted dates in water to make them softer so they will crème up easier, and voilà! You have a healthier version of a sweet, holiday creamer for your coffee or desserts. You can also add a sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg (I use whole nutmegs in a pepper grinder) on top for a beautiful and delicious presentation!

When making or serving snacks, try an easy dip option such as a healthy high-protein hummus or nutritious guacamole. Cutting some cucumber, red bell pepper or celery to use as the dipping chips is also a great choice! If you want to serve crackers or chips, try using a whole grain, sprouted, organic version or an organic sweet potato chip or cracker. (Late July is a good brand for chips and Mary’s Gone Cracker’s is my favorite cracker these days.)

For additional snacks that are easy for travel or on the go, try combinations of organic, sprouted nuts, sprouted seeds, olives, pitted dates, raisins, dry fruits, kale chips and coconut chips.

Here are some easy substitutions I use frequently: 1. unsweetened cashew yogurt in place of sour cream, 2. hummus or mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise for sandwiches, 3. unsweetened vanilla coconut, hemp or cashew milk in place of dairy.

With these ingredient substitutions, you can still eat all the delicious flavors you love while enjoying a number of health benefits.

In this way, you can feel and look your best as holiday activities continue on into January. Instead of regretting what you ate, you will glow with radiant health.

So as we continue our traditions, remember that we can create comforting, wonderful memories with our families and friends by just relaxing, and putting a lot of love into everything we do.

It is the warm feelings in the traditions that we will always cherish. It truly is about being present, and being here, right now. Slow down and savor the moment. It is food for our soul.

Here are a few emergency remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing, painless summer of fun!

Bug Bites

Whether it is a mosquito or beach fleas, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

While summer is the optimal time for showing off tanned skin, it’s the can be awful, when you have unattractive bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes. Here are a few holistic ways I’ve found to be very effective.

1. Mosquitoes don’t normally sting through lose fitting clothing, so wearing, gauzy, light weight clothing that covers you, is a good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.
2. Essential oils are also a good bug, bite deterrent.

Here is my easy Anti-bug Bite Recipe:

Ingredients

Choose one or a combination of the following organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):

Lavender essential oil

Myrrh essential oil

Rosemary essential oil

Juniper essential oil

Lemon essential oil.

1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol

Use a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store.)

Directions:

Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol

Place the mixture in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Shake it well, before every use.

It is advised to test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you or whoever you are putting it on, are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol.

If you are ok with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wantin to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

A. Rub aloe vera (either fresh or from a bottle) or organic, raw apple cider vinegar on bites and stings, to ease burning.

B. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil to the affected area as needed.

C. Vitamin B can help calm, reduce nervousness and insomnia. Anxiety can cause itching and/or aggravate it. Try to calm yourself by deep breathing, taking some magnesium and vitamin B’s, to help relax and alleviate nutritional reasons that could cause extra stress and help reduce the pain of the itching. Most people are vitamin B and magnesium deficient. A deficiency in these can result in itchy flaky skin, anxiety, lack of energy, and insomnia.

Vitamin B can help calm, reduce nervousness and insomnia. Anxiety can cause itching and/or aggravate it. Try to calm yourself by deep breathing, taking some magnesium and vitamin B’s, to help relax and alleviate nutritional reasons that could cause extra stress and help reduce the pain of the itching. Most people are vitamin B and magnesium deficient. A deficiency in these can result in itchy flaky skin, anxiety, lack of energy, and insomnia.

If you take extra Vitamin B1, or thiamine, since it is water soluble, you will simply excrete it. When the body discards it through the skin, it has an odor mosquitoes avoid.  that’s “discarded” by the body produces an odor that is “unbearable” for mosquitoes.

So, you can take a supplement of 100 grams of vitamin B1 plus a supplement of vitamin B complex. You can also dissolve a vitamin B supplement in a body lotion, then use it as a skin cream as a bug repellent. Depending on the skin cream you use, it should be safe enough to use on babies. You can also eat foods rich in Vitamin B, like organic, fresh asparagus and humanely, pasture-raised eggs.

D. I was bitten by some kind of small black bug or flea in Panama recently. It was absolutely miserable for at least a week. I thought it was going to never stop. I read that something these buys lay eggs in you or it could have been parasites. Since I had been all over the jungle and visited wild animal rehabilitation places, I was not sure, where I received all the bites or if they were even all the same type of bug or flea bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itch and was getting quite desperate to find a natural remedy.

For the most extreme cases, where you can’t get the itching to stop, I have found that food grade hydrogen peroxide can be dabbed on the itching spots with a cotton ball. It will kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, but also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite. It can hurt and burn a lot, so I do it immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with tea tree oil soap and a body brush. It was very effective and stopped the extreme itching. You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch or infection and is on the road to healing. Also, if you do have a parasite inside the skin, the repeating of the hydrogen peroxide will make sure you kill any of them or their offspring.

I order food grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. This type of hydrogen peroxide is extremely strong. You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of reach of children. You may want to use normal over the counter hydrogen peroxide, but the food grade is much stronger for more extreme cases. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you. (You may want to wear some rubber gloves when handling it.)

E. In an emergency, applying some mint toothpaste to a bug bite can frequently help cool the spot and alleviate the itch. The will trick your mind to focus on the cool feeling, instead of the itch. Mint toothpaste is also anti-inflammatory.

Poison Ivy or poison oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our contractors once had terrible poison oak. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try. The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison oak was gone in a matter of days. Tea tree oil works extremely well for both poison ivy and poison oak.

I use the tea tree oil any place, bite, rash, or itchy place. It is especially good for places that have a fluid in it. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties.  It not supposed to be used on an open wound.

In my opinion, the New Zealand variety smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well.

In addition to the tea tree oil, you can also use aloe vera leaf gel on a rash to soothe and promote healing. Oat meal baths are also good for calming down inflamed skin

Natural sunburn treatment

I love getting out in the sun and often over-do the amount of sun I get. I’ve found that all too frequently, I have a bit of a sunburn that hurts and needs some relief.

1. My favorite thing to do for sunburn is take an oatmeal bath. This is very refreshing as well as soothing.
2. After the bath, aloe vera leaf gel, either from the plant itself or an aloe vera gel I’ve purchased at the store, can feel very nice applied to the burned places. You can also just use the aloe vera gel without the oat meal bath.
3. Another thing I’ve found to be very effective is a mixture of cold-pressed, organic apple cider vinegar with some pure water. I use half a cup of water with half a cup of apple cider vinegar. I wash it over the sunburn or put it in my bath water. It can really relieve the sunburn heat and reduce the inflammation. After applying the apple cider vinegar, and it is dried, then applying the aloe vera gel on the inflamed area is also helpful.
4. Drinking some chamomile tea and dabbing the cool tea on the sunburn, has a cooling effect and can bring some relief as well.

If you have a heat rash from the sun, then try an oatmeal water paste applied to the areal. Sandalwood powder and equal part water, mixed into a paste and spread over the heat rash or sunburn is also a very effective anti-inflammatory remedy.

As a natural sunburn preventative measure, drinking carrot juice, eating carrots, or sweet potatoes, with beta-carotene, is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during summer. These vegetables give the body some natural sun protection.

Allergies

1. Essential oils, Eucalyptus and peppermint, are very effective in alleviating allergy symptoms. I put mine in a humidifier. You can also put a few drops of them in a pan of hot water and do a mist inhalation of the oils. You can also rub the bottom of your feet with these oils, which is refreshing as well as helpful for allergy symptoms.
2. A nasal lavage is a very effective way to help a congested sinus start to heal. My family went to Dr. Ludwig Michaels, an ear, nose, and throat doctor, for many years. He used a bulb syringe filled with a mixture of sea salt and warm water.

He would fill the bulb syringe with the warm salt water mixture, then he inserted it into one nostril, and gently pressed the warm salt water into the nostril. The water would come out the other nostril, along with any congestion.

He repeated that process on each side a couple of times. We would hold our head over a bowl to catch the water that came out. It always cleared out our congestion and was refreshing. Neti pots work in the same way, but I don’t think they are as easy or effective to use, as a bulb syringe. You can buy rubber bulb syringes and neti-pots at many pharmacies. Note: Always use purified water and avoid using tap water. I recommend using unrefined, mineral rich salt and avoid ever using the white refined salt.

3. A pinch of unrefined sea salt under the tongue with a little purified water, also has a wonderful antihistamine affect.
4. The spice turmeric can also help in calming down allergies symptoms. This following recipe makes a wonderfully soothing drink with effective anti-inflammatory properties.

Recipe of Turmeric Milk

Ingredients

1 cup (preferably unsweetened, vanilla) hemp or coconut milk

1/8 tsp. turmeric

1/16 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

¼  tsp. raw, unrefined honey

¼ tsp. cold-pressed, flax seed oil.

Directions

Combine and drink warm or at room temperature.

Note: Many foods act together like a symphony.  Combining the black pepper with the turmeric, can make the turmeric up to 1000 times more effective, because of the piperine in the pepper.

In addition to this, turmeric is fat-soluble. This means that it dissolves in fat. Adding the omega 3 fatty acid (cold pressed flax seed oil – which is anti-inflammatory) to the mixture, helps the active component in turmeric, curcumin, to be absorbed more effectively into the blood stream.

Variation: If you don’t have a cold pressed omega-3 fatty acid oils, you can substitute pure, coconut oil instead.

In conclusion, as you enjoy your delightful summer months, using some of these healthful, home-made remedies to make your summer more pleasant can be easy and inexpensive.

May you have a summer of heathy sunshine, fresh and, fun!

The post Natural Remedies For What Summer Can Throw At You appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

Our mindset is vitally important in this endeavor. What we choose to think about is a choice, but oftentimes our mind goes to a default program created from our past experiences. When we allow our mind to go back to past situations, the emotions from those experiences, good or bad, come rushing back to us. They keep us in the past, and prevent us from truly experiencing the present moment in its fullness.

How do we know what our default program is? One way to know this, is to start to notice what our mind drifts to when we are not doing a task.  What thought comes up in our mind? That is the default place our mind goes to when it is free to pull up anything it chooses.

When we have a thought (any thought), it carries energy with it and creates pathways in the brain. The more we think about a subject, the stronger that path in the brain becomes.

If we are thinking about past hurts or traumas, then the path can become very strong and quite literally start pulling our mind back to those thoughts, simply because it has created such a strong connection.

To get off the old worn pathway of thoughts and create new more joyful ones, we quite literally have to recognize that our mind is doing this.  We must choose to release those old (sometimes negative) thoughts, and refuse to allow them into our present moment and state of mind. In this way, we nurture ourselves by taking a new path, and avoid the continuation of thoughts and emotions from the past that no longer serve us or improve our lives.

Consciously choosing a new, positive, and more present time, thought, and focus can help move our mind away from our old patterns. Each morning, as we awaken, we should choose how to approach that day. We should choose to do it with a cheerful, grateful heart, thankful for all of our blessings. This is a state of being that is positive, and brings forth joy in our lives and the lives of everyone around us.

There are times when we may need to change what we are doing to create a new, higher energy feeling and shift our state of mind.  We can take a walk outside, or listen to uplifting music. When we do this, we start creating a higher vibration and get our mind on the present moment.  We are making new pathways in our brain that will start to offset the old patterns, by creating newer, stronger, and more positive connections.

It is a choice. It may not always seem easy, but if we concentrate and focus on doing this, it will get easier. Any time we start to do something new, we are creating change. Going for positive change and focusing on positive, present day moments can be a powerful way to create true peace in our hearts.  This can help manifest new possibilities for happiness, and unexpected miracles to occur.

Whenever fear or doubt come into our mind or heart, it automatically lowers our vibration and becomes like a vortex leading us onto a downhill slope. Avoiding this can be handled by simply recognizing this, and actually forcing our mind to think of something more constructive. When these fearful thoughts come into our mind, Gregg Braden (an internationally renowned scientist who has combined science and spirituality) teaches that you should say “Not To” and immediately think of something else.

Writing down your worries will get them off and out of your mind. Afterwards, write down all of the miracles, both small and large, that have occurred that day. However small they are, they are going to build your energy in a positive direction and help your mind to focus on the good and positive aspects of your life.

We want to cultivate a daily habit of creating positive change in our lives, and the power of thinking positive thoughts in our mind is a wonderful place to start.  As Socrates once said, “What we think about, we become.”

Words can be very powerful. Having a vocabulary that is positive is an effective step in embracing a more joy-filled life. I remember a blind lady that I worked with once, named Milly. She was not wealthy.  In fact, she was very challenged financially.

Every time I saw Milly and said hello and asked how she was doing, she would always greet me with a cheerful smile and answer “I am blessed.” It was truly her state-of-being. The other people in our group that I worked with didn’t always feel the same way that she did. But as she attempted to learn new skills in her life to help her maneuver through her life without being able to see, her positive attitude stayed with her and created a truly happy place for her to live in her heart and her world.  In addition, it made a happier place for all of us around her.

I also volunteered at the homeless shelter for many years. I was always amazed at the kind, peaceful and happy attitude so many of the people carried with them during the day. It was inspiring and heart-warming. Everyone faces challenges in their life in one way or another.  It’s how we choose to respond or react that we can control.

If we choose to respond/react with kindness, love, and peace, then we may just get that back in return. I have found that to be true more times than not. Focusing on the present moment, looking someone in the eye, connecting on a heart level, and responding in a loving way, can transform situations in miraculous ways.

When we choose to have a calm, peaceful, and positive state of mind, happiness can truly be a state-of-being.

The post Happiness Is A State Of Mind appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

I know many people are wondering about the health benefits of cannabinoid oil, also known as hemp oil or CBD oil. They are also wondering if it’s legal to purchase or if it is going to have negative drug side effects.

In this article, I will try to expand on the studies being done on CBD/hemp oil and the researched health benefits, legal status and a product I have found to be the most effective.

In clinical trials the oil from the cannabis plant, also known as CBD oil has been shown to have these benefits:

• Anti-inflammatory activity.
• Blocking tumor growth.
• Preventing the growth of blood vessels that supply tumors.
• Antiviral activity.
• Relieving muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis.

The use of Cannabis for medicinal purposes dates back at least 3,000 years. It was used in Western medicine until the 20th century and was said to relieve pain, inflammation, spasms, and convulsions.

There are many theories on why it was made illegal, but if you really look into it, and follow the money trail, you will find that the ones who wanted it illegal were benefiting financially.

They simply didn’t want the competition from such an incredibly healthful and economically beneficial plant.

Hemp rope, hemp paper, hemp fabric, Omega 3’s (essential fatty acids), high-quality plant-protein, etc. are just a few of the environmentally sustainable characteristics of this plant that is easily grown and has been used for many products for centuries throughout the world.

In fact, the lumber industry and the synthetic rope industry were two of the leading industries that lead the way to making the hemp plant made illegal, so they could eliminate their competition for paper and rope materials.

According to research at MIT:

“It was industry generated propaganda that got marijuana and industrial hemp demonized and then criminalized.

Du Pont Chemical Company had its hands in a lot of scandals, including the one to promote tetraethyl lead anti-knock fuel additive over the much safer alcohol additive option.

Much of the 3rd world is still suffering from this successful “partnership” of Dupont with Standard Oil (now Exxon) and GM.” (1)

These laws and programs outlawing environmentally friendly hemp in favor of timber for making paper, etc. has done incredible harm to the nation’s (world’s) forests and the Eco-system. “Logging increases fire… Logging has increased fire severity more than any other human activity. This is common sense. After all, logging removes the large trees that are most fire resistant.” (2)

“The effects of CBD in the body are broad and far-reaching. Thus far, the cannabinoid is known to also directly or indirectly affect the following:

• Vanilloid receptors (important for pain modulation)
• Adenosine receptors (important for the sleep-wake cycle)
• Serotonin receptors (important for mood and stress management)

Some rodent studies suggest that CBD may also work by blocking a particular fatty acid known as fatty-acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). The enzyme that’s responsible for breaking down the naturally occurring endocannabinoid anandamide in your body. Anandamide is also known as the “bliss molecule” or the human THC. It helps regulate basic functions like pleasure and reward, appetite, ovulation, memory, sleep, and pain.” (3)

“Pre-clinical studies of cannabinoids have investigated the following activities: Anti-tumor activity

• Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.
• A study in mice showed that cannabinoids may protect against inflammation of the colon and may have potential in reducing the risk of colon cancer, and possibly in its treatment.
• A laboratory study of delta-9-THC in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) cells showed that it damaged or killed the cancer cells. The same study of delta-9-THC in mouse models of liver cancer showed that it had antitumor effects. Delta-9-THC has been shown to cause these effects by acting on molecules that may also be found in non-small cell lung cancer cells and breast cancer cells.
• A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer cell death while having little effect on normal breast cells. Studies in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer showed that cannabinoids may lessen the growth, number, and spread of tumors.
• A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in human glioma cells showed that when given along with chemotherapy, CBD may make chemotherapy more effective and increase cancer cell death without harming normal cells. Studies in mouse models of cancer showed that CBD together with delta-9-THC may make chemotherapy such as temozolomide more effective.” (4)

World Health Organization

Recently, Dec. 15, 2017, the World Health Organization came out with an announcement:

“A compound found in the cannabis plant is not harmful, has health benefits, and does not have abuse potential.

The WHO’s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence focused on cannabidiol, or CBD, one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in cannabis plants.

After reviewing evidence from animal and human studies, the committee concludes that “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential.” (5)

Hemp (CBD) Oil

A hemp/ CBD oil I have found and personally use is approved by all US states and by all US government regulatory agencies.

This one utilizes a unique delivery system, which dramatically improves the bioavailability of the oil.

This particular one is Hemp Oil provides rapid uptake and bioavailability.

The product is an organic Dietary Supplement and contains hemp extract derived from the stalks and stems of the mature industrial hemp plant, which delivers healthful benefits, without having the psychoactive or “high” effect associated with this type of botanical.

100% Hemp Extract

Suggested Use: Take 1–4 pumps by mouth, holding for 30 seconds before swallowing.

Best taken on an empty stomach 10 minutes before meals and can be stirred into a small amount of water.

Once opened, use within 60 days. Store at room temperature, away from light.

The science behind oil being extracted is proving to be so effective and it’s based on the Human Endocannabinoid System.

This elaborate network is part of our immune system and when it is activated by taking phyto cannabinoid diols, humans (and animals) have better ability to fight, resist, and assist in repairing the mind and body.

The endocannabinoid system also includes the “cannabinoid receptors” or CB receptors that they bind to.

There are two major types of cannabinoid receptors in our bodies: CB1 and CB2.

Activation of the extracellular portion of these receptors causes conformational change and initiates intracellular biochemical reactions.

The vast number of cannabinoid receptors and their prevalence throughout the body suggests a multitude of promising therapeutic targets.

The CB1 receptors are primarily located on nerve cells in the brain, spinal cord, but they are also found in some peripheral organs and tissues such as the spleen, white blood cells, endocrine gland and parts of the reproductive, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.

“In the brain, the CB1 receptors are abundant in the cerebellum, basal ganglia, hippocampus and dorsal primary afferent spinal cord regions, which is why cannabinoids influence functions such as memory processing, physical discomfort and motor control.” (6)

CB2 receptors

“The CB2 receptors are mainly found on white blood cells, in the tonsils and in the spleen. The immune cells also express CB1, although there are fewer of them than CB2. In the immune system, one important function of the cannabinoid receptors is the regulation of cytokine release.” (7)

This particular oil is Up to 10xs more absorbable than other oils.

“Liposomal delivery brings the power of intravenous therapy into convenient oral delivery. Typical absorption of Phytocannabinoid Diol oil is poor, with only about 10% uptake in the GI tract. Liposomal encapsulation of compounds similar to Phytocannabinoid Diol have been shown to increase absorption five to tenfold. Our high-grade LIPOSOMAL Phytocannabinoid Diol outperforms other products thanks to smaller, more stable, single-layer spheres made from the highest-grade ingredients available.” (8)

In conclusion, many clinical studies have shown that CBD benefits include anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant, anti-oxidant, and anti-psychotic properties. There are encouraging trials with CBD oil being used as medicine for the treatment of neuroinflammation, epilepsy, oxidative stress, nausea, anxiety and schizophrenia.

Here is a link to a video of the world-renowned scientist tell about why this oil can be effective. Click here.

People also ask me why this company calls their Hemp oil, hemp oil and not CBD oil. What I understand is that a pharmaceutical company has developed a synthetic version of CBD oil and is getting the “CBD” trademarked and patented, so the government is shutting down any company that is using the “CBD” name. So beware of synthetic “CBD” oil being marketed.

Contact me, if you have any questions.

The post Protein Facts And Myths For Amazing Health appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

• Heart disease
• Colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

This is because a healthy vegetarian diet is commonly high in organic, fresh, whole vegetables and fruits, low in unhealthy fat, and high in fiber. Quality is important. For an optimum vegetarian/vegan diet, you want to buy certified organic, non-GMO, fresh food, and to avoid trans-fats, cottonseed oil, canola oil, soy, artificial sweeteners, high fructose sweeteners, white refined carbohydrates, processed, microwaved, pasteurized, radiated and fast foods. (I expand on the best ways to live a healthy lifestyle in my award-winning book, How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian, 2^nd edition.)

Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., former president of the medical staff at the Cleveland Clinic, writes that you can reverse heart disease with no drugs and only a plant-based diet. He bases this conclusion on the groundbreaking results of his 20- year nutritional study. Backed by solid scientific evidence, he argues that we can end the heart disease epidemic simply by changing what we eat. Dr. Esselstyn recommends a plant-based, oil-free diet that he says can prevent heart disease, stop its progress, and even reverse its effects.

The late Walter Kempner, MD founded the Rice Diet. He advocated a diet of rice, fruit, and vegetables on the basis that it has the power to do miraculous things for people and help them gain back their health. He treated hundreds of people at Duke University, where he prescribed a diet of rice, vegetables, and fruit that reversed hypertension, diabetic eye changes, heart failure, kidney failure, and obesity.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD, professor emeritus at Cornell University and co-author of The China Study, the most comprehensive human nutrition study to date, advocates a plant-based diet for optimum health. I was fortunate to be part of Dr. Campbell’s class at Cornell University, where he told us: Plant-based eating is a superior way of eating. Benefits of eating this way: Live longer, look and feel younger, have more energy, lose weight, lowers blood cholesterol, prevents and even reverses heart disease, lowers your risk of prostate, breast and other cancers, preserves your eyesight in your later years, prevents and treat diabetes, avoid surgery, vastly decreases the need for pharmaceutical drugs, helps keep bones strong, avoid impotence, avoid stroke, prevents kidney stones, keeps your baby from getting type 2 diabetes, alleviates constipation, lowers your blood pressure, avoid Alzheimer’s, beats arthritis and more.

Dr. Campbell discussed studies he had done on the diseases that arise in populations when meat protein is introduced into the diet. He continued: “My early research gave me the understanding that animal protein, when tested experimentally, was substantially different from plant protein in its ability to promote tumor development. It turned out that animal protein had its effect by operating through a constellation of integrative mechanisms. The division between animal and plant foods was a signpost of a division of the kinds of foods having an effect on cancer.”

“Dr. Dean Ornish in California, and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. in Ohio, during the mid l980’s, each separately initiated studies of plant-based nutrition as treatment for patients severely ill with coronary artery disease. Their goal was to remove every last morsel of animal food, dairy, processed flour, and oils that were causing the disease, and to eat a diet of vegetables, fruit, legumes and whole grains.

In all compliant patients, results were prompt and enduring. Angina heart pain diminished or disappeared as cholesterol levels promptly lowered, and both physicians found that x-rays of the hearts’ arteries confirmed the disease could be reversed. Dr. Ornish proved this after one year of treatment. Dr. Esselstyn showed the same at 5 years, and reported his results again at 12, 16, and finally beyond 21 years in his recently released book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. Dr. Esselstyn is particularly pleased with a smaller subset of patients who were told by expert cardiologists in 1986 they had less than a year to live, and all of whom are alive 21 years later.”

One thing I’ve learned through research, is that people with heart disease, frequently have diabetes as well. It’s common for a person to actually die from a heart attack, without even knowing they were diabetic. A plant-based diet can help with diabetes as well.

In Dr. Campbell’s class on plant-based nutrition, I learned of many studies that prove it is possible to be healthy or overcome illness on a plant-based diet. Recently, one study conducted by a team of American and Japanese researchers showed that people who have diabetes can vastly improve their health by eating an entirely plant-based diet.

More than 100 million people today have diabetes or pre-diabetes. The study’s findings agree with my experience. Working with people who have diabetes, I have found they show remarkable improvement in their health and well-being from consuming a plant-based and almost completely raw food diet. For that study, the researchers also undertook a new meta-analysis—which is considered the highest level of scientific evidence—in which they compared six significant prior research studies.

The researchers found a plant-based diet significantly improved blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes, and specifically in a key indicator of blood sugar control called hemoglobin A1c. The participants’ results improved as much as 1.2 points, which was greater than the effect of typical oral diabetes medicines.

The study also combined the results of all of the available studies. It indicated the benefits of excluding dairy (including cheese), eggs, and meat from the diet was as much as 0.7 points in some studies, averaging 0.4 points overall. Participants in most of these studies were not required to reduce their calorie or carbohydrate consumption.

The plant-based diet goes way back in time. It was recorded in the sixth century by the Greeks. Today, many people are switching to a vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based diet for health, environmental, or ethical reasons.

Many people throughout the ages have chosen to be vegetarian: Pythagoras, Aristotle, Plato, Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, George Bernard Shaw, Mohandas Gandhi, Paul, Linda, and Stella McCartney, Carl Lewis, Hank Aaron, Mike Tyson, Martina Navratilova, Doris Day, Danny DeVito, Alec Baldwin, Joan Baez, Ellen DeGeneres, Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Michael Bolton, Mary Tyler Moore, Joaquin Phoenix, Dave Scott (six-time Ironman triathlon winner), Brendan Brazier (two-time Canadian 50K ultramarathon champion), and the list goes on and on. In this group of enlightened minds and great talents, there is a common bond. Veganism and vegetarianism is a choice. So if you make this change, you will be in good company!

One thing that is clear, is that the human body was not designed for consuming meat. Humans don’t have the correct teeth for tearing. Human saliva isn’t as acidic as carnivores. Human digestive juices are not acidic or strong enough to break down meat well on an ongoing basis. Because our intestinal tract is long and curvy, undigested meat can stay in the intestine too long. It can putrefy and rot in the intestines, allowing toxins and acid to build up. This creates inflammation and disease. This is one reason there is such a high rate of colon cancer, as well as digestion and intestinal tract problems.

One thing I have found that helps reduce cellular damage and oxidative stress is a supplement called Protandim. It can help reduce oxidative stress by 40% in 30 days. It’s been nominated for two Nobel Prizes for Medicine and had over 26 peer-reviewed medical papers written about it. 3 of those studies are concerning the benefits of this supplement for the heart. ABC did a primetime update on this supplement to show it’s benefits for aging and overall health.

People ask me about statin drugs frequently. They can cause cellular damage and deplete the necessary nutrients in the body. I really think that getting healthy in a natural holistic way is a safer alternative.

I’ve learned that everyone needs to find the diet that works best for them, and to find balance in their life. I also know that the quality of the food we eat is vital. From my studies and research, I believe an organic, plant-based diet can greatly benefit your health, and even heal your body.
