Nutrient dense diets help protect from toxins.

Saturated fats help protect the electrical "wiring" within the body and from damage by toxins.  Also bone/gelatin broths that provide glycine, fat soluble vitamins, pasture raised butter, organ meats, and fermented foods help protect from toxins.

Bacteria Toxins: Exotoxins, Endotoxins & Membrane-Damaging Toxins – Microbiology | Lecturio

10/5/2020

0 Comments

 
The cause of disease are toxins and deficiencies.

Here we see the many kinds of toxins that certain bacteria can secrete, which causes an immune response.  Some toxins can be fatal.

The body occasionally removes these toxins as necessary.  Toxins in our food, water and air, plus medications, vaccines (metals, adjuvants, aborted fetal tissue, animal tissue), smoking, pollution, pesticides, alcohol abuse, all add to a toxic inner terrain. 

Nutrient dense diets with pasture raised animal fats, gelatin broths and organ meats help protect against toxic damage to cells.

Germ Theory Versus Terrain: The Wrong Side Won the Day

9/15/2020

0 Comments

 
"Pasteur’s promotion of germ theory (a flawed notion that he did not so much “discover” as repackage) has remained “dear to pharmaceutical company executives’ hearts” up to the present day,4 having laid the groundwork for “synthetic drugs, chemotherapy, radiation, surgical removal of body parts and vaccines” to become the “medicine[s] of choice.”5 The unshakeable belief that there is one microbe for every illness is so ingrained as the “controlling medical idea for the Western world” that competing ideas about disease causation still have difficulty gaining traction."

Foods high in potassium and magnesium

8/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Avocados, sweet potatoes, potatoes, coconut water, spinach and more tasty foods.  Potassium is a common deficiency and likewise most people get too much sodium.  But we actually need twice as much potassium than sodium.   This imbalance can lead to edema and high blood pressure.  Potassium also needs magnesium for it to enter the cells, so it's a good idea to include high magnesium foods also in the diet.  And now you've covered two of the top minerals we need each day, which are also important electrolytes.

After cooking up a turkey in the oven, I use the carcass to make several quarts of broth.  Afterwards my dog gets to enjoy some of the softened bones (being careful of the sharp pointy ones).  Nothing goes to waste.

Lactofermented kefir Beet kvass and ginger ale

I boil the mixtures first with sugar to help extract the juices, then cool and finally ferment with kefir until it's ready in about just a few days to a week on the counter.  Then move to the fridge to keep cold and ready to go.  You can see I added some anise to the ginger ale and also fresh turmeric root.

Homemade lactofermented kefir root beer

7/30/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
I used water kefir to ferment the herbs and spices.  It doesn't quite have the flavor of root beer that I remember from A&W as a kid, which is artificially flavored.  It is the real deal.  I found that mint, birch bark, sarsaparilla, and vanilla give it that root beer flavor.  There are some good recipes out there.  I'm still perfecting it but it came out good enough to drink.  You need at least a cup of dissolved sugar to get 1/2 gallon, I'd say.  I don't drink too much at a time because the herbs can be medicinal.  I enjoy a small shot at a time, or add some to an electrolyte beverage for dinner to aid digestion.  A little can go a long way.  Along with root beer, I have plenty of ginger ale on hand, plus beet kvass and pickled egg juice.  I have many different fermented beverages to choose from.

I keep an infrared lamp in my office.  I turn it on in the morning and enjoy some red light therapy. 
It's especially nice In the winter months.

I find the bulbs at the local ranch store in the Spring when they bring in the baby chicks.  

The bulb I'm using provides both red and near-infrared light.  Both have benefits.

Bill Gates' new normal?

5/20/2020

0 Comments

 
"Every additional month that it takes to get the vaccine is a month when the economy cannot return to normal."
https://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/Pandemic-Innovation

Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci have strong ties to the vaccination industry.  They seem very biased towards vaccines, as opposed to other therapies, like Hydroxychloriquine, and also focusing on boosting the immune system naturally with nutrient dense diets, as in the past.  

I am skeptical of coronavirus vaccines as one has never been produced.

For more on dangers of vaccinations. check out this page by the WAPF:
https://www.westonaprice.org/vaccinations/

I oppose forced vaccinations.  If people want to voluntarily take a vaccination, that should be up to them.  But do not try to force it upon everyone.   I fear they will take it to the point where you may not even be able to go to the grocery store unless you've been vaccinated.   Wearing masks to me seems like a trial run of compliance.  

This is all another good reason to build a relationship with your local food producers and learn how to grow some of your own food, as well as gaining kitchen skills with processing that food.

Beyond Burger

5/7/2020

Beyond Burger ingredients claim to be lower in saturated fat than real meat.  They imply that saturated fats are bad for us.  They include cocoa butter, coconut oil, canola and sunflower.

https://www.beyondmeat.com/about/our-ingredients/


But are these fats really better than animal fats?

The heart's favorite foods are stearic and palmitic acids (research Dr. Mary Enig).  These two fats are SATURATED fats and found in animal fats.  

Beef raised on pasture with fresh air and finished on grass or even some grains (avoiding soy) to fatten them up (I don't like lean meat), is the ideal.  The fat profile in a pasture raised animal is very healthy.

​Don't fall for the marketing hype!  Cows green the planet when outside on pasture.  Alan Savory talks a lot about this.

Also, canola and sunflower rancid easily.  It is rancid oils that are of greatest health concern as they do contribute greatly to heart disease.

Food supply turning to fake meat

5/6/2020

0 Comments

 
“The food supply chain is breaking,” company chairman John Tyson said in a blog post on the company’s website April 26, warning of an upcoming shortage in steak and pork. “Millions of pounds of meat will disappear” as plants close, he added. This month, the company has shuttered a meat processing plant in Pasco, Wash., that produces enough beef in one day to feed 4 million people; two of its largest facilities in Iowa and Indiana; and a chicken processing plant in Tennessee because of COVID-19 outbreaks.
Tyson’s comments parallel alerts from JBS SA, the world’s biggest meat company, and Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s top pork producer, that consumers are likely to see meat shortfalls. On Sunday, JBS said it will shut down another beef production facility in Wisconsin."

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/impossible-foods-beyond-meat-see-spike-in-demand-as-coronavirus-wreaks-havoc-on-meat-supply-2020-05-05?mod=mw_latestnews

This is the time to connect with your local food producers more than ever!  I stock up on inexpensive bones and organ meats.  Good luck with fake meat, which lacks fat soluble vitamins.  Animal fats are not the demons they're made out to be.  Malnutrition will result if people turn to lab-meat as their main source of food.  For fast food junkies, they might not care too much anyway?  This is getting interesting....the future is here.

Homemade ginger ale

4/28/2020

Homemade fermented ginger ale electrolyte beverage.  Very refreshing and tasty on hot days.
  • Slice a handful of ginger into 1/2-1 inches pieces.  I also added sliced turmeric root.
  • Add sliced ginger to 1 quart of water into sauce pan.  
  • Add 1/3 cup organic cane juice sugar.
  • Heat water, ginger and sugar until boiling and turn off heat.  Let cool.  Heat will pasteurize any potential yeasts/pathogens (except botulism spores).
  • After cool, pour into mason jar.
  • Pinch of real sea salt (1/4 teaspoon?).
  • Add inoculant (living cultures) like water kefir, kombucha or raw apple cider vinegar with the "mother".
  • Cover with fermenting lid or cheesecloth and let the ginger ale mixture sit on the counter or cupboard for a few days to get started with fermentation, then transfer to fridge. 

Let continue to ferment for at least a week or more.  Tighten lid when it has pretty much finished to capture carbonation but keep an eye on it and open over the sink!  Jars can explode so take care.  Practice fermentation safety!

Make a new batch when that one is finished by reusing the previous batch ginger and some of the juice.  Add a little bit of fresh ginger for each new batch.  Follow the same recipe above for perpetual homemade ginger ale.  Great for digestion!

Add with fizzy water, plus coconut water for potassium and sea mineral drops for magnesium electrolytes with fresh squeezed lime for refreshing summertime beverage.

Spring Ceviche salad or tacos

4/28/2020

  • Slice fish, like scallops, cod or other favorite fish, into small cubes
  • Put fish into bowl and squeeze enough limes to immerse fish.  I also added some kombucha.  Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or even over night to fully "cook".
  • Dice fresh peppers (green bell, red bell, jalapeno), red onion, tomatoes, garlic, celery, cilantro and mix.
  • When the fish is ready, make your salad or tacos.  Add optional fresh ground pepper, avocado and hot sauce.
  • Save the juice from the ceviche to make fizzy lime cocktails.

"The human race evolved under the sun, and for thousands of years lived in harmony with its heat and light. Yet over the last fifty years we have lost this close contact with the sun and its healing powers. We have become afraid of it.

However the sun is central to our well being and health. Did you know that:
• designing and building sunlit houses can help prevent disease, make us feel happier and save energy
• sunlight can help prevent and heal many common and often fatal diseases like breast cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis"

    Better Digestion
    Blog

    I do this in the remembrance of my brother, who died of Leukemia, and my mother, who passed away from breast cancer.  Certain foods contain many cancer-fighting nutrients, as well as powerful nourishment for general well being.  I believe in the power of real nourishment to help people struggling with illness or degeneration.

    I myself learned about this approach to health due to crippling sciatica and tooth decay that led to a painful tooth abscess.  I am inspired by the findings of Dr. Weston A. Price and am thankful for Nourishing Traditions, Sally Fallon, Weston A. Price Foundation and the Price-Pottenger Foundation for bringing this information to the public.
     
    I owe much of my health today to Green Pasture and Blue Ice cod liver oil products.  Solar Powered Health is a vendor of Green Pasture cod liver oil, which you can purchase in the store.
