As many of you with neurological Lyme, one of the worst symptoms of mine was brain fog (always accompanied by fatigue). As I mentioned earlier, I would forget my own phone number, I would not be able to complete simple tasks. During one of the worst episodes of brain fog I got into major car accident. Brain fog is caused by load of neurotoxins that Lyme produces as well as by other factors.</div>

Parasitic organisms found in the brain – Parasitic infections such as tapeworm can invade the brain and cause symptoms of acute mental illness such as depression and psychosis in more than 65% of cases. Parasitic infections outside of the brain that can produce psychiatric symptoms include giardia, ascaris psychosis, trichinosis, and Lyme Disease, among many others.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Heavy metal toxicity – The most common heavy metals that humans are exposed to are aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. These often accumulate in brain tissue and are difficult to excrete in many cases. Some people—especially those who suffer from chronic conditions—cannot excrete neurotoxic heavy metals efficiently and a build-up occurs, causing brain fog symptoms.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reduced blood flow to the brain due to circulatory problems – Lack of blood flow to the brain disrupts brain function. Thick blood can also slow down blood flow to the brain, causing brain dysfunction.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Overuse of artificial sweeteners and MSG – Artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame and flavor enhancers are considered excitotoxins, meaning that they are toxic to the brain, and can disrupt brain function.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Allergies and food intolerances such as to gluten and lactose – Many patients who are lactose and/or gluten intolerant find that their brain function often suffers as a result of allergies to these substances.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Leaky gut syndrome – When the gut becomes more permeable, larger particles escape into the bloodstream and may pass the blood brain barrier, causing a wide variety of mental symptoms such as mood disturbance, depression, anxiety, fatigue, lack of concentration and focus, and short-term memory loss.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Side effects of prescription and over-the-counter medications – It’s always important to double check with your pharmacist for medication side effects that can disrupt brain function. Many medications have side effects that disrupt mental health and may cause symptoms ranging from depression, anxiety and agitation, to severe conditions such as psychosis and suicidal ideation.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

A natural way to relieve brain fog is to consume foods that provide you with adequate nutrition. Getting sufficient nutrients and minerals in your diet is an important way of improving brain function and energy levels in the body. You should eat plenty of green leafy vegetables, wholegrain foods and foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. You can take natural supplements, containing essential nutrients and supplements, like multivitamin and vitamin B12, to help improve mental function and relieve brain fog.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You should always drink plenty of water with lemon to help with brain fog relief. Adequate hydration is vital for the brain and enhances mental function. Also, drinking lots of water helps flush out toxins in the body, which can improve brain function.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Physical activity assists with proper functioning of the brain. It improves blood circulation in the body, increases oxygen flow to the brain and boosts energy levels. Exercise also stimulates the production of ‘feel-good’ chemicals such as serotonin and endorphins, which help regulate mood and cognitive function.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Getting adequate sleep can help relieve brain fog and ensure optimal brain function. You should aim at getting eight hours of sleep every night. (I know, some of you are in bed for 12 hours just to wake up still tired, it will go away, I promise!) This will help you stay energetic and alert during the day, and help improve brain function and provide relief from brain fog.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are several herbal remedies and supplements that can help provide brain fog relief. One popular herbal supplement for relieving brain fog is gingko bilboa. This supplement is said to act by dilating blood vessels to allow improved circulation and increased oxygen to the brain. In doing so, it promotes memory and cognitive brain function. Also “Pinella” from Nutramedix is great. Some people swear by Turmeric.</div>

For me personally best relieve from brain fog was detox such as sweating. No matter how tired and foggy I felt, I would go for a run and I always felt better even for a bit. The best brain fog elevation treatment for me was hyperthermia , i.e. sauna or even better – hot yoga. (I do not recommend steam room just because municipal water is chlorinated and while in a steam room you will inhale too much toxic chlorine). As soon as I start sweating load of toxins leave my body through sweat and I felt better immediately. Also, taking activated charcoal, coffee enemas, and drinking plenty of water with lemon worked for me. As far as supplements, Dr. Shultze’s “Cayenne” tincture worked wonders!

Modern society has created a sad state for our over-processed livers. Anytime we overeat or eat processed or fried foods, and, anytime we are exposed to environmental pollutants or stress, the liver becomes overworked and overloaded. When the liver is taxed, it cant process toxins and fat in an efficient way. There are many foods that can help cleanse the liver naturally by stimulating the natural ability to clean toxic waste from the body.</div>

One of our most powerful allies in cleansing the liver, leafy greens can be eaten raw, cooked or juiced. Extremely high in plant chlorophylls, greens literally suck up environmental toxins from the blood stream. With their distinct ability to <a href="http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/heavy-metal-cleanse.html" style="color: #5488bd; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">nuetralize heavy metals</a>, chemicals and pesticides, these cleansing foods offer a powerful protective mechanism for the liver.</div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">• Parasite patients often express the psyche of the parasites - sticky, clingy, impossible to tolerate - but a wonderful human being is behind all of that.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">• We are all a composite of many personalities. Chronic infections outnumber our own cells by 10:1. We are 90% "other" and 10% "us". Our consciousness is a composite of 90% microbes and 10% us. Our thinking, feeling, creativity, and expression are 90% from the microbes within us. Patients often think, crave, and behave as if they are the parasite. Our thinking is shaded by the microbes thinking through us. The food choices, behavioral choices, and who we like is the thinking of the microbes within us expressing themselves.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">• Patients will reject all treatments that affect the issue that requires treating. Patients will not guide themselves to health when the microbes have taken over.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">• Viruses in the nervous system are likely not the cause of CFS. They are certainly often present, but when treated, the patient may only get a little better. The two main causes are parasites (mainly lungworm) and chronic nasal staph infection. These nasal infections enter the hypothalamus which then leads to suppression of MSH. One's level of fatigue and level of MSH are directly related. MSH is depressed by bacteria and mycotoxins.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br />

Starting with 1/2 teaspoon twice a day two days a week and working up to 1 teaspoon daily for 3 months.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8x2uMwk6lUE/TufCHWA_LrI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/qxhdV30fjnw/s1600/Ingredients_Healthy_Food.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8x2uMwk6lUE/TufCHWA_LrI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/qxhdV30fjnw/s320/Ingredients_Healthy_Food.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Patients face a big challenge in trying to prevent Lyme disease toxins from aggravating symptoms and damaging vital organs like the liver. Similar to the multiple tools on a Swiss Army Knife, there are herbs that have multiple ways of helping the liver to deal with these toxins, fight infections, and reduce toxic symptoms. These herbs are especially useful when anti-Lyme medicines and treatments increase the level of toxins in the body which stress the liver and increase symptoms.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Medications and treatment can release more toxins which intensify Lyme disease symptoms</strong><br />
When Lyme spirochetes are killed by anti-Lyme medicines or treatments, the dead pieces of the bacteria release toxins called endotoxins in the body. The liver filters these toxins out of the blood and dumps them into your intestines to be eliminated. Huge releases of toxins can overwhelm the liver’s ability to filter them out. These toxins overflow throughout the body and can aggravate symptoms of pain, fatigue, and confusion. Aggravated symptoms due to a toxic die off of Lyme bacteria is called a Herxheimer reaction or Herx for short. Unfortunately, some people cannot eliminate these toxins very effectively.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Approximately, 25% of the population is lacking the genes to eliminate Lyme toxins<sup>1</sup></strong><br />
When antimicrobial medicines or treatments kill off infections, people who lack the genes to eliminate toxins feel much worse for longer periods of time than other people who have the genes. People who are missing the antitoxin genes get much sicker much faster than other people. These people usually take longer to recover and require more extensive support to eliminate their toxins.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Can herbs help to neutralize Lyme toxins?</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>There are several herbs that are effective at neutralizing Lyme disease endotoxins</strong><br />
Here are four herbs that help Lyme disease patients to reduce their herxheimer reactions. The anti-endotoxin properties of these herbs are demonstrated in animal studies and in clinical results with patients. Just like a Swiss Army Kinfe, these herbs can provide other benefits like protecting vital organs like the liver, killing spirochetes, and reducing inflammation.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Herb #1: Fructus Forsythiae, Chinese name: Lian Qiao<sup>2</sup></strong><br />
The properties of this herb are bitter, and cool. Forsythia clears heat, eliminates toxins, treats bleeding under the skin that produces red and purple lesions (purpura), stops vomiting, and promotes urination. This herb is used extensively to treat viral infections that produce heat in the heart and phlegm the lungs<sup>3</sup>. It treats high fever, irritability, delirium, red swollen eyes, sore throat, ulcers on the tongue, intestinal or lung abscesses, sores, lesions, ulcerations, lumps, nodules, and furuncles.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">In one canine study, forsythia was found to be the most effective at clearing bacterial endotoxins<sup>4</sup>. This herb has also been used to reduce inflammation in a guinea pig study. Forsythia has liver protecting properties. The essential oil of forsythia inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, Diplococcus pneumoniae, Bacillus dysenteriae, Hemolytic streptococcus group a, Hemolytic streptococcus group b, Neisseria catarrhalis, Salmonella typhi, E. coli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus proteus, Bordetella pertussis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, leptospira, and influenza viruses. This herb is very safe to use and there were no documented cautions or contraindications with medications at the time of publication.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Herb #2: Radix Scutellariae, Chinese name: Huang Qin<sup>5</sup></strong><br />
The properties of this herb are: bitter and cold. Scutellaria is used to clear heat, reduce symptoms of infection and inflammation, sedate heat symptoms, eliminate toxins, stop bleeding, calm and stabilize the fetus, and for disorders of the skin, eyes, ears, throat, and nose. It is used to treat abdominal fullness, poor appetite, nausea, sensations of heaviness, thirst with no desire to drink, and people with the diagnostic signs of a red tongue with a greasy yellow coating.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This herb is also used to treat jaundice with bright yellow skin, infectious hepatitis, dysentery, foul-smelling diarrhea, fever, heat sensations in the chest and abdomen, irritability, sore throat, toothache, oral ulcers, tonsillitis, epigastric burning and discomfort, and constipation. Scutellaria is also used to treat burning, scanty, painful, dark urination which may be cloudy or bloody. This herb also treats cough with yellow sputum, yellow nasal discharge, fever, shortness of breath, dry mouth, chest congestion, sore throat, and eye disorders with redness and pain. Scutellaria also treats lesions, sores, and ulcerations.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It stimulates gallbladder activity and has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Scutellaria inhibits the cancer-causing effects of fungal toxins, is used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome, reduces anxiety and stress, and relieves headaches. Scutellaria is used to treat encephalitis, hepatitis, Scarlet fever, bacterial eye infections, and hypertension.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It has a wide spectrum inhibitory effect against beta-hemolytic streptococcus (Group B strep), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (which causes problems in cystic fibrosis patients), E. coli, Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough), Vibrio cholerae (cholera), and multiple influenza viruses. It also kills leptospira (another spirochete disease) and is highly effective at neutralizing endotoxins<sup>6</sup>. A compound from Scutellaria called baicalin potentiates the effectiveness of antibiotics such as ampicillin, amoxicillin, methicillin, and cefotaxime. This herb enhances the antibiotic effect of beta-lactam antibiotics against drug resistant staph infections like MRSA and beta-lactam resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This herb is very safe to use and there were no documented cautions or contraindications with medications at the time of publication.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Herb #3: Radix Bupleuri, Chinese name: Chai Hu<sup>7</sup></strong><br />
The properties of this herb are bitter, acrid, and cool. Bupleurum is used to treat disorders that have chills and fever, fullness and distention of the chest and hypochondriac region, a bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, poor appetite, nausea and vertigo, and irritability. It is used specifically used to guide pathogenic illnesses, like malaria, out of the body. This property makes it an excellent supporting herb for patients with Babesia.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This herb also treats emotional distress, headache, eye disorders, breast swelling and pain, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, menstrual cramps, and jaundice. Bupleurum treats prolapse of internal organs including the rectum and uterus, shortness of breath, fatigue, and hypermenorrhea. It is used to treat pain, relieve insomnia, reduce inflammation, protect the liver, induce the flow of bile, reduce cholesterol, and stimulate the immune system. This herb is used along with other herbs to treat colds, cough, influenza, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and lung cancer.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Bupleurum has an inhibitory effect against beta-hemolytic streptococcus (Group B strep), Vibrio cholerae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, leptospira, some influenza viruses, poliomyelitis viruses, and hepatitis viruses. The saponin compounds in demonstrated an anti-endotoxin effect even at very low concentrations in one rabbit study<sup>8</sup>. This herb should be used with caution in patients that are deficient in fluids and have signs of excess heat.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The herb formula Minor Bupleurum Decoction reduced the bioavailability of tolbutamide in one rat study. When used in combination with interferon, there may be an increased risk of acute pneumonitis. One theory is that the herbal combination may over stimulate neutraphils (white blood cells that are part of the innate immune system) to release granulocytes elastase and oxygen radicals which can then damage lung tissue. The single herb Bupleurum may not have the same risk as the herbal combination. This herb has a very low toxicity.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Herb #4: Fructus Gardenia, Chinese name: Zhi Zi<sup>9</sup></strong><br />
The properties of this herb are bitter and cold. Gardenia is used to reduce swelling and pain, and to treat febrile disorders, liver infections, and gall bladder infections. It is highly effective in treating irritability, frustration and restlessness, heartburn, high fever, short temper, delirium, depression, and semi-consciousness. This herb also treats carbuncles, furuncles, ulcers, abscesses, headache, red eyes, toothache, sore throat, ulcers on the tongue, and constipation. It is also effective for treating jaundice, infectious hepatitis, gall bladder inflammation, gallstones, urinary tract infections, and painful urination. Gardenia is also used to treat bleeding disorders hematuria (blood in the urine), hemoptysis (coughing up blood), hematemesis (vomiting blood), and epistaxis (nosebleeds). This herb is used especially when the color of the blood is bright red. It is also used for treating traumatic injuries with swelling and bruises like sprains, strains, soft-tissue injuries, and musculoskeletal injuries.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This herb should be used with caution for patients with loose stools combined with a decreased intake of food. This herb can possibly cause drowsiness and sedation. It is to be used with caution in people who operate heavy machinery or in people when they drive vehicles. It may increase the drug induced sleeping time of barbituates which was found in one animal study. In other animal studies, this herb has reduced blood pressure because of it’s stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. Gardenia has been found to lower liver enzymes and serum bilirubin, and protects and prevents liver cells from dying. It also stimulates contraction of the gall bladder, production of bile, and increases excretion of bile into the intestines in animal studies. In another mouse study, a Gardenia compound called genipin prevented glutathione depletion, reduced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and demonstrated antioxidative properties<sup>10</sup>. Two other compounds found in Gardenia, Crocin and crocetin have anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-atherosclerotic, and anti-cancer effects. These two compounds also provide neuroprotection in one rat study by reducing the production of various neurotoxic molecules which shows promise for treating Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease<sup>11</sup>. It also protected mice from E. coli endotoxin sepsis in another study<sup>12</sup>.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Gardenia inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria meningtidis, and dermatophytes. It also kills leptospira and schistosoma.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>The right herbs can help you to protect your liver, kill spirochetes, and neutralize toxins</strong>Just like a Swiss Army Knife, these herbs have multiple properties for helping you to overcome the multiple challenges of a Lyme infection. Through their ability to neutralize endotoxins, these herbs have helped Lyme patients to reduce Herxheimer symptoms of pain, inflammation, and fatigue quickly. Most of these herbs are very safe and have a very low toxicity. Working with a Lyme literate herbalist can help you to develop a proper, safe, and effective herbal strategy for protecting your liver from toxins, killing Lyme and co-infections, and reducing painful Herxheimer reactions.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com83tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542773771053426576.post-28969732827674770832011-11-27T23:24:00.000-08:002011-11-27T23:24:42.225-08:00Sexy Raw Veganist<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves>false</w:TrackMoves> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing> <w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing> <w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:DontAutofitConstrainedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="276"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>

She radiates energy from her honed figure and crease-less, youthful face, has the lithe body of a dancer 30 years her junior, hasn't been ill in decades and possesses an earnest passion that would put most university-aged idealist to shame. <o:p></o:p></span></div><!--EndFragment-->Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542773771053426576.post-5519331629618721222011-11-22T20:21:00.000-08:002011-11-22T20:21:45.580-08:00~ Cure the Incurable ~ All you need to know about Lyme Disease<div data-referrer="pagelet_event_details" id="pagelet_event_details" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><div class="fbEventInfo uiBoxWhite topborder" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: initial; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"><ul class="uiList" style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><li class="uiListItem uiListLight uiListVerticalItemBorder" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; display: block;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CJ6sL-dlC-I/Tsx0YGkifBI/AAAAAAAAA6A/rZ55okpORGU/s1600/peace_love_cure_lyme_disease_1_magnet-p147486926043639474q6ju_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CJ6sL-dlC-I/Tsx0YGkifBI/AAAAAAAAA6A/rZ55okpORGU/s1600/peace_love_cure_lyme_disease_1_magnet-p147486926043639474q6ju_400.jpg" /></a><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="uiGrid mvm" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><tbody>

Well, maybe you need to do a cleanse that focuses on boosting your immune system, so your body can defend itself better from bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. A good time to start thinking about boosting your immune system is before flu season comes around, or before any airplane travel.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Our immune system is supposed to protect us from these everyday illnesses, but our lifestyle choices can weaken this protective shield, leaving us vulnerable to disease and infections. A lot of the food we ingest is man-made, processed junk that put stress on your body and immune system. We should really be focusing on fresh, natural food. By cleansing out some bad lifestyle habits and junk food you can have your body fighting off every germ that comes your way!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Here are a few foods to eat and foods to avoid while you’re doing an immune system cleanse. Remember to be realistic - cutting out 100 percent of the bad stuff is probably not going to happen! However, if you try to stick to the plan for 2 weeks and work out a diet and lifestyle that work for you, then you’ll start to see some real improvements to your health.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Immune System Suppressors<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">These are the foods and lifestyle choices that actually weaken your immune system.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Alcohol and Coffee<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Both alcohol and coffee lower the amount of white blood cells in your bloodstream. This weakens your body’s defenses against illness. They both impair the body’s absorption of vital nutrients, weakening the body and making it more susceptible to illness.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Cigarettes<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Cigarettes contain arsenic, cadmium, formaldehyde, to name just a few of the toxic chemicals that enter your system whenever you light up. All of these will impair your immune function - irritated lungs are much more vulnerable to infection.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Sugar<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Too much sugar can also suppress your immune system. Avoid sugar, honey, syrup, chocolate, and check labels for anything ending in “ose”. Avoid white flour and white flour products too - they affect the immune system in much the same way.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">POPULAR ARTICLES<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Top cleanses to shake off<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">those extra pounds<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Cleanses to make your<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">skin and complexion glow<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">The famous Master Cleanse<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">A detoxifying juice cleanse<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">If you have a sweet tooth, you might think this is going to be an impossible task, but stick to it for a coupe of weeks and your cravings will go away. You can have a piece of fruit to curb your craving, but stay away from artificial sweeteners, as they are very toxic, even worse than sugar.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Trans Fats<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Trans fats are very toxic, damaging to your body and will certainly weaken your immune system. The main culprits are foods like cookies, cakes, donuts, pizza, fried chicken and most fast foods. When you’re shopping for food, be careful of shortening, margarine, cereal and cereal bars. But remember - the only sure way to avoid eating trans fats is to read labels!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">How to Boost Your Immune System<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Sleep<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">When you have a cold people will often tell you to get some sleep, and its true that adequate rest is one of the most important factors in a healthy immune system. That’s why we feel so tired when we get sick. When we sleep, our immune system repairs and rebuilds, ready and armed to fight off all those germs that we encounter throughout the day. Don’t rest only when you get ill - try to aim for a consistent 7-8 hours of sleep per night.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Sunlight<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Research has shown that getting 30 minutes of vitamin D from sunlight or daylight strengthens the immune system to fight off disease. Don’t go overboard though. Sunlight is great for your health but you shouldn’t put your skin at risk for skin cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Skin brushing<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">This is an unconventional technique for boosting blood circulation. Skin brushing stimulates the immune cells to move more rapidly throughout your body and also helps carry toxins out of the body.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Exercise<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Exercise stimulates your lymphatic system, which helps fight germs and remove toxins. It also increases oxygen in the body and raises your body temperature, both of which play important roles in boosting immunity. Over-exercising can actually suppress the immune system though, so don’t go overboard.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Immune-Boosting Foods<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">To boost your immune system, it is important to eat a variety of whole foods. However, there is a small group of foods that you should put particular emphasis on.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">FRUITS AND VEGETABLES<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">These immune boosters contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, all important for keeping your immune system in order and your body free from disease. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables will nourish your body, however there are some that are super immune fighting.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Vitamin C<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Try to include a serving or 2 of these super immune-boosting fruits and vegetables every day. Here are the ones that are highest in vitamin C:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Guava<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Citrus fruits<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Kiwi<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Cantaloupe<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Strawberries<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Bell peppers<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Brussel sprouts<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Parsley<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Vitamin E<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Make sure you get enough of this immune boosting antioxidant. The best sources include lean meats, poultry, nuts, beans, grains, fortified cereals and leafy greens.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Beta-carotene<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">This is a strong antioxidant, which boosts your immune system and can even fight cancer. Beta-carotene converts to vitamin A. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, cantaloupe, squash.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Garlic<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Garlic contains an antimicrobial compound, Allicin, which encourages the multiplication of germ-fighting white blood cells. Studies have shown that people who consume garlic supplements, or consume garlic everyday, suffer from significantly fewer flus and colds. Two minced cloves of fresh garlic per day, either with food or mixed with water, should do the trick.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">PROTEINS<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Zinc<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Lean meats contain Zinc, which plays a big role in activating the white blood cells that fight bacteria and viruses. Good sources include oysters, beans, turkey, lamb, eggs, fortified cereals, nuts and seeds (especially pumpkin seeds).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">Buy Organic<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Geneva;">All meat and eggs that you buy should be organic, to avoid unnecessary toxins like pesticides.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. Early Spanish explorers called it coco, which means "monkey face" because the three indentations (eyes) on the hairy nut resembles the head and face of a monkey. Nucifera means "nut-bearing."</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The coconut provides a nutritious source of meat, juice, milk, and oil that has fed and nourished populations around the world for generations. On many islands coconut is a</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Harvested coconuts lined up on the beach.</div><div class="MsoNormal">staple in the diet and provides the majority of the food eaten. Nearly one third of the world's population depends on coconut to some degree for their food and their economy. Among these cultures the coconut has a long and respected history.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil and is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life." Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut's amazing healing powers.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Coconut In Traditional Medicine</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">People from many diverse cultures, languages, religions, and races scattered around the globe have revered the coconut as a valuable source of both food and medicine. Wherever the coconut palm grows the people have learned of its importance as a effective medicine. For thousands of years coconut products have held a respected and valuable place in local folk medicine.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In traditional medicine around the world coconut is used to treat a wide variety of health problems including the following: abscesses, asthma, baldness, bronchitis, bruises, burns, colds, constipation, cough, dropsy, dysentery, earache, fever, flu, gingivitis, gonorrhea, irregular or painful menstruation, jaundice, kidney stones, lice, malnutrition, nausea, rash, scabies, scurvy, skin infections, sore throat, swelling, syphilis, toothache, tuberculosis, tumors, typhoid, ulcers, upset stomach, weakness, and wounds.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Coconut In Modern Medicine</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Modern medical science is now confirming the use of coconut in treating many of the above conditions.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Coconut Oil</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">While coconut possesses many health benefits due to its fiber and nutritional content, it's the oil that makes it a truly remarkable food and medicine.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Once mistakenly believed to be unhealthy because of its high saturated fat content, it is now known that the fat in coconut oil is a unique and different from most all other fats and possesses many health giving properties. It is now gaining long overdue recognition as a nutritious health food.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Coconut oil has been described as "the healthiest oil on earth." That's quite a remarkable statement. What makes coconut oil so good? What makes it different from all other oils, especially other saturated fats?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The difference is in the fat molecule. All fats and oils are composed of molecules called fatty acids. There are two methods of classifying fatty acids. The first you are probably familiar with, is based on saturation. You have saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats. Another system of classification is based on molecular size or length of the carbon chain within each fatty acid. Fatty acids consist of long chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached. In this system you have short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), and long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Coconut oil is composed predominately of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), also known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCT).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The vast majority of fats and oils in our diets, whether they are saturated or unsaturated or come from animals or plants, are composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Some 98 to 100% of all the fatty acids you consume are LCFA.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The size of the fatty acid is extremely important. Why? Because our bodies respond to and metabolize each fatty acid differently depending on its size. So the physiological effects of MCFA in coconut oil are distinctly different from those of LCFA more commonly found in our foods. The saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are predominately medium-chain fatty acids. Both the saturated and unsaturated fat found in meat, milk, eggs, and plants (including most all vegetable oils) are composed of LCFA.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">MCFA are very different from LCFA. They do not have a negative effect on cholesterol and help to protect against heart disease. MCFA help to lower the risk of both atherosclerosis and heart disease. It is primarily due to the MCFA in coconut oil that makes it so special and so beneficial.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">There are only a very few good dietary sources of MCFA. By far the best sources are from coconut and palm kernel oils.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">It is daunting to write about having Lyme disease, as most of my life I have spent hiding it like a deep, dark family secret.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Putting on a good face, acting as if I was "fine" and when the very bad days came, I would shut off my phone, pull the curtains, and crawl into my cave.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Imagine if you can, the worst flu you've ever had and then imagine having it day after day, year after year, interspersed with times of health when you think, "finally it's over, i've got my life back", only to get sick again over and over for 30 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I am 56 years old. When I was 25, I spent time painting landscapes in the Santa Barbara mountains. One day, I noticed a strange rash and thought little of it. About a month later I came down with a terrible “flu.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This began a journey that I could have never imagined. For the next 5 years, I crawled through my life with unrelenting, extreme joint and muscle pain, severe fatigue and a list of strange and changing symptoms that stole my life and my son’s childhood away. I spent over $50,000 in that five years alone pursuing every possibility of healing from fasting to clinics in Mexico to bizarre treatments. My library of "Get Well" Books is truly staggering.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I actually was a lucky one; something [not sure which treatment] helped….around the age of 30 I got better and was able to have a life. Now rather than being sick constantly, I would get sick every 6 weeks or so for about 3-7 days with bouts of a month here or there. But I was ecstatic to be able to live again!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">And live I did! Never knowing when you’re going to be sick is an amazing motivator to live as fully as you can. I did everything I could in my “well” times to grab life fully. I “gave up hope” at ever being well. While this may sound strange to most people, giving up hope allowed me to accept this strange and unknown illness and grab hold of the times I had. I stopped looking for a “cure” and put all my energy into living.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When I was 47, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I am convinced that my 22 year fight with Lyme disease culminated in my body breaking down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I was treated for 9 months with chemotherapy and steroids. Near the end of this treatment, I got extremely ill again. I remember a day sitting in the oncology unit, crying, knowing with certainty that my “old, unknown illness” had come back in full force - more severe than ever.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Cancer paled next to the despair of knowing I was facing this terrible dark place again – of constant pain, fatigue and whole body sickness. With cancer, i could still live life even though i might be facing death. But this illness was a living death.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My search for a diagnosis began again in earnest. I was tested and diagnosed with Lyme disease and babesia 6 years ago. I remember the day I found out. I was so happy to finally know what had been wrong with me for 24 years. It was like a miracle and I allowed myself to hope again. Hope that finally this would be over.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">That happiness was misplaced. The last 6 years has been a journey of severe illness. I now know that chemotherapy and steroids can cause permanent damage to a person with Lyme making it much more difficult to get well and stay well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It’s a simple and stark reality. Chronic Lyme disease steals life. Most days are a struggle to do the simplest things. My goals for a day: do my IVs, be kind, be grateful for my incredible family and friends, do only what I can do, go outside, pet my dog.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Lyme disease has taught me acceptance and gratefulness. And for those lessons I am deeply thankful.....but honestly I would give them up in a second to run out, grab a kayak and head to Mexico.</span><br />

Peppy and unequivocal, she delivered a startling talk at the <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/028415_health_freedom.html">Natural News Healing Miracles event</a> last weekend. Afterward she met with attendees and jauntily demonstrated how she could still touch her toes with no problem.<br />
<br />
I'd known about the <a href="http://www.gerson.org/">Gerson Institute's natural cancer cure</a> for years and was almost star-struck to meet a woman whose clinic can <b>cure</b> cancer in 30-40% of terminal cancer patients. That is, cancer patients whose bodies have been so ravaged by surgery and chemotherapy that medicine can no longer help them. Many can be brought back to life naturally, through their intensive juicing and detox program. The Gerson Institute's cure rates are even higher in those who have never had conventional cancer therapies, since the immune system is in much better shape.<br />
<br />
Before the event, I became increasingly intrigued when I heard <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/028382_Gerson_Therapy_cancer_cures.html">Mike Adams of Natural News interview Charlotte Gerson</a>. She stated that the Gerson Therapy, pioneered by her father in the 1930s, was "even helping Lyme patients." Wow, even helping Lyme patients? Did she imply that Lyme was harder to cure than cancer? How much is it helping Lyme patients? How long does it take to get results? Is it the same therapy used in cancer? I was dying to ask her my questions.<br />
<br />
After her rousing talk I had my chance to ask her some questions, but due to her popularity, I didn't get all of them answered. First off, she said that she is limited to the Gerson Therapy, but she "has helped people." I took this to mean that Gerson Therapy must be complemented by other therapies, presumably antibiotics, whether herbal or pharmaceutical. She turned the tables on my question-asking and told me Lyme patients have to be careful of fluoride's effects on the thyroid and that we should not be showering in fluoride nor drinking it. I asked if my reverse osmosis filter was doing the trick for our drinking water, and I got a loud, "NO!" When I said I didn't know that, she said, "Well, WHO would KNOW?" She is a character! Then, off she went with another attendee bursting with their own questions.<br />
<br />
Gerson Therapy sounds like a treatment worth investigating by any Lyme patient. She said that in cancer, the two main problems are deficiency (vitamins and immune system) and toxicity. This is true in Lyme as well, but we have the added job of killing the bugs, too.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542773771053426576.post-78016762760671764622011-08-18T22:57:00.000-07:002011-08-18T22:57:56.670-07:00Gratitude<iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vvgzorlRCl0?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542773771053426576.post-44082457562043551852011-08-17T01:52:00.000-07:002011-08-17T01:53:04.764-07:00Cure Lyme Disease with Juice Feast!<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/K5VteBtCYsc?fs=1" width="480"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542773771053426576.post-6748815739463743052011-08-07T20:31:00.000-07:002011-08-07T20:31:17.670-07:00Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-- Natural Cures<div class="article_main_body" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.35em; margin-bottom: 30px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o-P32dESsyM/Tj9YeEYv8cI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/zJi_cDYCwhk/s1600/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o-P32dESsyM/Tj9YeEYv8cI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/zJi_cDYCwhk/s1600/images.jpeg" /></a></div><h3 class="title" style="color: #35a7b1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Herbal Medicine and CFS</h3><a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/therapy/Herbal_Medicine" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">Herbal medicine</a> is a useful tool in the management of CFS. However, while herbal medicines are useful, it is important to note that they will not start to work instantly. To completely resolve the symptoms of CFS, it may take as little as four to six weeks or as long as twelve to eighteen months, depending on the severity of the CFS and any other health issues that the person is suffering from. Some herbs that are helpful with CFS include:<br />
<ul style="margin-left: 25px;"><li>Echinacea – this herb helps to protect cells during infection and it stops bacteria and viruses from entering the cells. It is useful for strengthening the immune system.</li>
<li>Licorice – is an antiviral herb that is useful in the chronic phase of CFS. Licorice root also supports the endocrine system.</li>
<li>Lomatium</li>
<li>Astralgus – enhances the immune function and it is good for cold and flu symptoms. It strengthens the production of white blood cells which are needed by the body in order to fight off infection and inflammation.</li>
<li>Gingko Biloba – improves circulation and brain function.</li>
<li>Chinese Ginseng – helps the body to fight stress and it also increases energy. As well, it fights off viral infections and supports the immune system.</li>
<li>Siberian Ginseng – increases the body’s resistance to stress, fatigue, and disease. It also helps to improve mental alertness and is a powerful <a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/article/the_power_of_antioxidants" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">antioxidant</a>.</li>
<li>Goldenseal – is useful for helping to control infection.</li>
<li>Milk Thistle – protects the liver.</li>
<li>Pau D’arco – is helping for treating infections of <a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/article/Candida" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">candida</a>.</li>
<li>St John’s Wort – has antiviral properties and is also helpful for depression.</li>
<li>Skullcap/Valerian Root – improves sleep, as insomnia is another problem that is associated with CFS.</li>
<li>Ashwaganda – is a tonic that can improve strength, stamina, vigour and sexual energy.</li>
<li>Cat’s Claw – is anti-inflammatory and also helps to promote the immune system.</li>
<li>Kava Kava – is calming and helps ease the anxiety that is often associated with CFS.</li>
<li>Olive Leaf – is both antifungal and antiviral.</li>
</ul><h3 class="title" style="color: #35a7b1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Homoeopathy and CFS</h3>There are many <a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/therapy/Homoeopathy" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">homoeopathic remedies</a> that are useful in the management of CFS. You will need to consult a practitioner to find the best remedy for you but some remedies that are useful include:<br />
<ul style="margin-left: 25px;"><li>Kali phos – is helpful for fatigue that is accompanied by trembling caused by stress or overexertion. </li>
<li>Arsenicum album - is helpful for exhaustion that is accompanied by anxiety, as well as a constant feeling of cold with joint and muscle pain.</li>
<li>Nux vomica – is helpful for fatigue that is caused by lack of sleep, overwork or fatigue.</li>
<li>Argentum nitricum – is helpful for a person that feels fear, has anxiety, and is secretive.</li>
<li>Phosphoricum acidum – is helpful for those that feel emotionally or physically drained, or apathetic.</li>
<li>Picricum acidum – is helpful for those that feel dreadful even after slight exertion, especially mental exertion.</li>
<li>Silicea – is helpful for headaches and exhaustion that is caused by overwork.</li>
<li>Zincum metallicum – is helpful if you are forgetful and tend to repeat things.</li>
</ul><h3 class="title" style="color: #35a7b1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Acupressure for CFS</h3><a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/therapy/Acupressure" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">Acupressure</a> can help to improve your physical condition as well as helping you cope with the tired, weak feeling associated with CFS. Some useful acupressure points are:<br />
<ul style="margin-left: 25px;"><li>CV6 (Sea of Energy) – this is located three finger widths below the bellybutton and pressing on this point can alleviate dizziness and confusion as well as help you to feel better overall.</li>
<li>Gallbladder 20 and 21 – help to bring energy from the head and keep it circulating throughout the body. Pressing on these points can relieve fatigue and <a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/glossary/Depression" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">depression</a>, as well as helping the immune system.</li>
<li>Gallbladder 41 – helps to regulate the function of the hormones.</li>
<li>Back bladder points – all of the points on the back bladder help to relax and tone the nervous system.</li>
<li>Kidney 3 – regulates kidney function (in TCM, a general feeling of a lack of energy is associated with an imbalance in kidney function).</li>

Aspen is a good remedy if you are feeling fearful but you cannot explain why you are feeling that way. Holly is helpful for relieving anger and mood swings. Hornbeam can help to relieve fatigue and a feeling of exhaustion. Impatiens is good for calming impatience, tension, nervousness, and irritability. Finally, mimulus is good for those people that are shy and timid.<br />
<h3 class="title" style="color: #35a7b1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Exercise and CFS</h3><a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/therapy/Exercise_Physiology" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">Exercise</a> is one of the most important things in the management and treatment of CFS. This is because people that suffer from the condition do not exercise because they feel weak, and like they continually need to rest. This rest leads to muscle wastage which results in a person feeling even more tired. In time, this becomes a vicious cycle and exercise helps to break this cycle. Gentle exercise leads to stronger muscles which leads to increased performance, so that people feel less tired and so that they are able to do more. Exercise also releases endorphins in the brain, making us feel better emotionally. It does not matter what type of exercise you choose as long as it is gentle and can be started slowly at first. It is important to build up the amount of exercise that you do as too much exercise too soon can actually be counterproductive.<br />
<h3 class="title" style="color: #35a7b1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Nutrition and CFS</h3><a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/therapy/Nutrition" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">Nutrition</a> is an essential part in the management of CFS. If you suffer from CFS, you should avoid sugar and sweet foods, as these cause the blood sugar to raise and drop dramatically. An unstable blood sugar level leads to fatigue. If there are any foods that you are allergic or intolerant to, be sure to eliminate these from your diet. Remember to drink plenty of water each day to help flush toxins from the body.<br />
Eating <a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/article/the_importance_of_fatty_acids" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">essential fatty acids</a> such as those present in cold water fish, nut and seed oils (such as flaxseed oil) help to strengthen the immune system. Eat plenty of fruit, vegetables, and <a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/article/all_about_whole_grains" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">whole grains</a>. These are high in fibre which alleviates constipation, a factor in fatigue. It is interesting to note that 60 percent of people that suffer from CFS also suffer from candidiasis. To help with this, eliminate all forms of sugar, and take probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria.<br />
B vitamins are depleted in stressful situations, so it is worthwhile considering taking a supplement or eating more foods that are rich in these vitamins. Vitamin C is helpful for immune system, while vitamin A is necessary for the production of antibodies that help to fight off viral infections. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that stops vitamin A from being destroyed by oxygen and it helps to improve the supply of oxygen to the body’s cells.<br />
<h3 class="title" style="color: #35a7b1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Traditional Chinese Medicine for CFS</h3><a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/therapy/Traditional_Chinese_Medicine" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">TCM</a> uses a combination of <a class="article" href="http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/therapy/Acupuncture" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: underline;">acupuncture</a>, herbs, moxibustion and lifestyle changes in helping to manage CFS. The emphasis is on strengthening and protecting the immune system and also on conserving and generating energy. TCM suggests that the immune system can be improved by working on the way that the body makes energy from protein sources. In CFS, the immune system may be using as much as 60 percent of an energy storage compound in the body called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP manufactures protein to make immune antibodies and when the immune system is using all of the ATP, there is little energy left for the rest of the body, leaving you feeling very tired. If this is the case, then acupuncture is used on the points that relate to autoimmunity and also the meridians in the body.<br />
Herbal formulas that are useful in managing CFS include bu zhong yi qi wan, xiao chai hu wan, and astralgus ten formula.<br />

Liver is responsible to complete a lot many functions in the human body. Even after suffering from innumerable abuse because of alcohol and several other drugs, it doesn’t fall short of its functions. Still it is quite a neglected organ of the human body. Hence, it is imperative that the toxicity levels of the liver should be bought down with an effective liver detox diet, so that the liver is better able to perform its function and bless you with good health all through your life. </div><h2 style="color: #008bd1; font-size: 20px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 28px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Getting prepared</h2><div style="line-height: 15px;">Before you get started, the body of an individual should first be prepared for the liver detox diet, for maximum benefit. So, a person must stop consuming caffeine, fatty food, alcohol, meat, junk food and decaf at least a week before they plan to get started with their detox diet.</div><div style="line-height: 15px;">Switching over to vegetables and fresh fruits along with increased intake of water, wheat bread and less consumption of sugar is the right thing to do. You may include turmeric powder and rosemary tea in your diet and start taking artichoke and dandelion supplements.</div><h3 style="color: #008bd1; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The one week liver detox diet</h3><div style="line-height: 15px;">The duration of a liver detox diet is one week.</div><h3 style="color: #008bd1; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">1-3 days</h3><div style="line-height: 15px;">During this time, you have to take entirely liquid diet. This would mean drinking 10-12 water glasses everyday along with freshly squeezed lime juice. It is advisable not to take any beverages at this time, including milk, milk shakes, yoghurt and others. </div><div style="line-height: 15px;">You may feel fatigued in these three days as the toxins are flushed out fro your system. Little exercise or walk will be a good idea. This speeds up the elimination process of toxins.</div><h3 style="color: #008bd1; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">4-6 days</h3><div style="line-height: 15px;">You can now take freshly squeezed fruit juices that are prepared from organically matured vegetables and fruits. The intake of water remains the same as in the previous phase, though the addition or elimination of lemon juice is your call now.</div><div style="line-height: 15px;">Prepare a juice every morning, using celery, oranges and apples and carrots. Continue with drinking rosemary tea, twice or thrice, everyday. </div><div style="line-height: 15px;">Boil four different kinds of vegetables every afternoon, such as broccoli, carrots, spinach, celery and potatoes and prepare their vegetable broth. Once you have chopped the vegetables, boil them, filter them and drink its broth after an interval or every three hours.</div><h3 style="color: #008bd1; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">7th day</h3><div style="line-height: 15px;">Fresh vegetables and fruits that are grown organically can now be included in your diet. You may steam them or consume them raw. Rosemary tea and intake of water remains the same. Do not forget to take your dandelion supplement.</div><div style="line-height: 15px;">This is a perfect liver detox diet. Now, you can gradually switch over to your normal diet, though it is good to restrict alcohol beverages for at least one more week after the completion of diet.</div><div style="line-height: 15px;"><br />

In fact, many consider chlorella to be the perfect food.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I personally use <a href="http://www.cultureoflifestore.com/p195/Chlorella+Tablets,+1000+tabs,+Green+Gem/product_info.html?ref=132&affiliate_banner_id=1">This Brand</a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Another of the chlorella benefits is that it helps the body to break down metallic toxins. These toxins include lead, cadmium and mercury among others. The use of this product is also great for strengthening the response of your immune system. Japan, in particular, has focused on chlorella and its ability to help detoxify the body and neutralize or remove toxins and substances that are poisonous. Studies in the United States and Europe have backed up these findings . This process can take anywhere from three to six months and will depend in large part on how much chlorella you have added to your diet.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Chlorella benefits include, but are not limited to:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Additionally, this helps to boost the immune system.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Balancing the pH levels of the body - Our body's pH level is ideally between 7.2 and 7.4. This is considered neutral. Often though this drops as we eat junk food or processed foods. This allows diseases to start and grow.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Normalized blood pressure and blood sugar - Low blood sugar leads to improper brain and heart function. Your body also doesn't metabolize energy properly. High blood pressure can lead to strokes and/or heart attacks.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Chlorella is a whole food, one that is a complete protein. It contains all of the essential B vitamins as well as vitamins C and E. In addition, chlorella contains all of the major minerals including iron and zinc.

The Amazing Benefits</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">Of The Raw Vegan Diet</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Since I have moved to San Diego, I turned to raw vegan (I have been a vegetarian for years...)</div><div class="MsoNormal">Forget cooked or gourmet vegan, if you really want to be healthy -raw vegan is the way to go. The key word here is RAW. Anything that is cooked, fired, or heated above 118°F, and processed, is unhealthy for you, even if it is labeled "vegan". LIVE foods, in their natural untampered state is what it's all about. Cooked food is dead food and quickly spoils and becomes toxic in your system. Live raw food does not spoil or decompose quickly and is packed with energy, minerals, vitamins, and everything you need to stay healthy.Most of the world's population still thrives on a plant-based diet, much of it raw. It is largely here in the "modern" Western world where the animal-based diet dominates. Animal-based diets which include meat, dairy, and eggs, are responsible for most of our modern diseases and illnesses. Meat and milk alone, especially in their processed states, are the primary causes of a slew of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, and a host of other maladies. Grains, which are plant-based but artificially farmed or produced, can also be problematic, especially wheat and white-flour based products.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Most of these foods cannot be eaten raw and must be cooked, processed, or treated before we can ingest them, and that is where the problem begins. Cooking not only kills the food destroying its nutrients or enzymes, it changes its composition and makes it very difficult for the body to digest or process. Perhaps even worse than the cooking are the chemicals and additives(sugar and salt being major) in our food which are extremely harmful and addictive. Most foods are becoming increasingly tampered with both chemically and genetically. That is why it is best to go to a local farmer's market and buy fresh and/or organic rather than rely on your supermarket. Corporate mass-producers of food are only interested in profit, not health.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Even better than relying on farmers is growing the food yourself. If you have a garden or plot of land, count yourself lucky. Turn that useless lawn into a fruit and vegetable garden. For those in the colder climates, greenhouses, solariums and indoor crop growing are becoming increasingly feasible. Compost makes the best fertilizer. Most of us, however, still need to rely on the markets, so be picky and demand fresh quality produce, free of any pesticides or other chemicals.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The raw vegan diet is plant-based and basically includes raw fruits and vegetables, nuts and nut pastes or butters, seeds, grain and legume sprouts, plant oils, herbs, and fresh juices -preferably organic. Organic produce, though more expensive, is much sweeter-tasting and healthier than non-organic. Switching to a raw vegan diet from the modern cooked diet can be a huge step and may produce a serious detox crisis so it is advisable to first take intermediate steps like going vegetarian or vegan and getting off of refined sugar and salt and other harmful or addictive chemicals. Bread, baked goods and flour or grain products in general are perhaps the most addictive foods of all. Our modern Western diet is very taste-oriented and we are basically all drug addicts, so this is the hardest part to get over before you can enjoy the benefits of a natural raw diet, but the fight will be worth it. It usually takes about a month or two for the old food cravings to subside or vanish, depending on your particular state, or method of transition.</div><div class="MsoNormal">One of the first effects of the raw food diet is the weight you will lose. No matter how much raw fruits or veggies you eat you will never gain weight. You will in fact LOSE weight, especially if you are unhealthy or overweight. It is the perfect weight loss diet! The reason we gain a lot of weight on cooked or processed foods is because the body must retain more water to neutralize all the toxins you accumulate on suc a diet. When you eat raw and organic there are no toxins to dilute or neutralize so all that water(toxins included) is flushed out. Also, raw live foods are much easier to digest or assimilate putting less burden on your digestive system and more time into cleaning or repairing your body. For those of you who can't chew or digest properly, a blender or processor is the solution. Smoothies are alright, especialy in the mornings or start of your day, but eating your fruits and veggies whole is always best(as nature intended). All that chopping and grinding chases away much of the life force and there is always the danger of metal or plastic residue going into your food. Many complain about becoming too skinny on the raw vegan diet, but that's usually because there's a lot of damage, addiction, or repair to take care of. Once the cleansing and repair work is done you will naturally regain some weight or whatever your body deems is ideal for you. Most of us are much heavier than we should be.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The other effect of the raw food diet is of course the way you look and feel. Once you're past the detox phase, your energy or strength will soar and so will your alertness or concentration. Gone will be your aches and pains or whatever was chronically ailing you. Your eyes will become brighter, your skin softer, and your gait or step faster and better coordinated. Best of all you will slow down or even reverse the aging process, especially if you combine this diet with fasting. Sometimes special cleanses are necessary to get rid of those tough and pesky parasites or deeply inbedded toxins which can impede or slow down your healing process.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Healthier, of course, also means happier. You will radiate joy and confidence and will wonder why everyone else is not eating this way. But you must persist. Most people give up too early, often after a few days or weeks into raw diet. It takes at least a month or two to start appreciating the benefits. Things start to stablize after two or three months. If you are old or in bad shape it is only natural that you will have to wait longer to correct or reverse all those years of indulgence, neglect and abuse. For such, the cleansing and rebuilding process could take anywhere from a several months to several years.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Not only will you be doing yourself a favor on the raw vegan diet, but the planet as well. Can you imagine if everyone was a raw vegan? No more disease or pain. No more pollution, industry, or corruption. Everyone would be healthy and happy and the animals and the planet itself would benefit enormously and be greatful. Real food is raw and live and good for you and produced and packaged by nature herself, ready to be eaten and enjoyed. Everything else is man's perversion or experimentation and carries with it a high price. Be smart, be healthy, be a raw vegan!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
