One of the greatest alternative health products I ever tried!

It is about time I personally introduce you to one of the best healing products I have ever had the pleasure of using.  I finally got an answer to one of my prayers.  I asked what could help my leg cramps I have been suffering with for the last four or so years?

Someone told me I probably need more magnesium.  So I took more of what I was taking at the time and all I got was loose stools.  Then I kept searching for the answer, and finally a good friend of mine suggested I buy the best magnesium product out there that she knew of, CALM. Finally some relief, but it still didn't completely solve my problem.



Then
, my friends at the raw food buffet told me about "transdermal" magnesium oil.  A product called Ancient Minerals Ultra Pure Magnesium Oil


 You spray it on and it works great.  It is highly recommended and sold at places like where I bought it; "Tree Of Life Rejuvenation Center".  It is really the best money I have ever spent on alternative supplements, ever!  I have bought many different kinds of magnesium and none of them solved my problems like Ancient Minerals pure magnesium oil.  I must have had a major magnesium deficiency and didn't even know it.

As I have mentioned, I have bought many alternative supplements for a variety of purposes, and I have never experienced such amazing results with any of them like I have with this product.

I am so excited about this product I have decided to become an affiliate and am asking you to try it.  I am confident you will love this product too and will be very happy with it.  I know it will have major benefits for your overall health.  If you would like to buy your bottle, please click on this link http://www.magneticclay.com/146.html  I appreciate your purchase and assure you, if I decided to sell a product, it is because it is worth every penny and it will bring you a result.

I would also like to ask my readers to leave tips on any alternative products they truly love and see results from.

In one of my next upcoming articles I can't wait to tell you about my all time favorite omega 3 fish oil; its the best I have found.

Green Tea is now on the list of supplements that can cause liver damage!

In 2006 I participated in a liver study at University Of Michigan because the chemotherapy "cytoxan" I was taking was raising my liver enzymes to dangerous levels.  In other words, cytoxan was causing liver damage.  I turned lemons into lemonade and had the pleasure and opportunity to participate in a national liver study to determine what medications and supplements cause liver damage.

I regarded it as a golden opportunity because every time I went I learned about common prescriptions such as popular antibiotics being the culprit of liver damage.  I discovered  I had recently taken one of the toxic antibiotics on their list!  In fact half of the anti-biotics I was given while hospitalized in August 2006 were on their list of known agents causing irreversible liver damage!

Knowing what I know now, I always research every supplement and medication I am taking.  Even when I believe the doctor prescribing them has my best interests in their heart.  New information is revealed everyday at this amazing time in history and they may not have the time or take the time to thoroughly keep abreast as research results are updated.

I am in this liver study for 20 years and I receive a newsletter making me aware of their latest findings.  In this newsletter here are the latest 4 items found to cause liver damage:

Herbalife - used for weightloss, energy, and fitness

Green Tea extract - used to cause weight loss.  I want to emphasize they write "extract" next to Green Tea.  I still intend to drink green tea as an anti-oxidant, but I now decided to be sure it is always in moderation.

Usnic Acid - also used to cause weight loss.  Many of these items have already been taken off the market.

Black Cohosh - used to treat joint pain, muscle pain, bronchitis, and obesity.  I am sorry to see black cohosh on this list because I personally know people who have taken this successfully for a variety of different benefits.  It also happens to be used in numerous other combination supplements.

I should also clarify the way I interpret the green tea is in extract form.  They also have it worded as "unrefined" extracts of green tea.

As I continue to be updated with this newsletter I will pass this information on to my readers.  In fact, if there are readers out there who are aware of other medications and supplements you have new found information on, please comment on them below.  It is essential we band together and keep each other posted with our information in order to take the best care of our health.

My feeling about the supplements above is rather than use a supplement for weight loss, change the foods you chose to eat!  I know raw foodists who eat all day and they do not have a problem with their weight.  Educate yourself about the superfoods that bring benefits without the added calories.  Raw deserts are healthy, have benefits, and have fewer calories and no harmful fats.

The other conclusion I would like to remind you of is, supplements are powerful and they can be just as damaging as some traditional over the counter and prescription meds.  I am advocating finding a alternative practitioner you can regard as your partner in taking the best care of you possible.  Rather than go by hear say, at least once a year see your wellness coach and take inventory.  You may be taking supplements that can cause more harm than good!

I also want to make an observation about the target of the conclusions that were printed; interesting they did not print some of the traditional medications they had mentioned to me as being some of the most toxic for your liver?  Maybe they still intend to release that info in upcoming newsletters; something to be aware of.  I hope it is not a biased study toward alternative medicine?

"Ask Not What Food Taste Good, but, What Your Food Can Do For You"?

If that title reminds you of John F. Kennedy, you are right.  I just returned from my Easter Vacation to Boston and still have him on my mind.  I visited the JFK museum situated on the Boston harbor and if you are ever in the area, it's a museum worth visiting.






The highlight of Boston for me was eating at Grezzo's!  
Simply one of the best Raw Food Restaurants in our country, and the best raw food restaurant I have ever been to!

While you are out there, go to Grezzo's; www.grezzorestaurant.com Alicia Cohen's raw food restaurant.  This is a must!  It's in downtown area of Boston called the North End.  It is surrounded by many quaint restaurants; mostly italian.  So, why, when there are so many delicious restaurants would you want to eat food that is not even cooked?  Results!  

This is food that goes the extra mile to give you energy, make you feel good, and all the while not give you health problems.  It contains the right kinds of fat, so it will not give you cholesterol, heart disease, or make you fat.  It can even reverse diabetes, lower blood pressure, reduce or prevent inflammation, and make your skin glow!  People who eat raw food often have a sparkle in their eye and their hair has luster.

It's time to ask your food; "what can you do for me"?  In fact, I get up everyday and ask what I need my food to do for me today?  What food would best meet my needs today?
Since my accupuncturist said my liver has a lot of toxins in it (probably from the arsenal of medications; especially chemotherapy), once a week I have a        beet greens smoothie.
Recently, one of my readers asked me for this recipe.  It is very similar to any of my other green smoothie's except the main green is organic beet greens.  Start with pure fresh water - about 1 cup
                                                    1 whole peeled lemon without the seeds
                                                          1 organic apple
                                                        1 whole bundle of beet greens 
                                                         1 whole bundle watercress
                                                        1 tablespoon hemp seed powder
                                                         1  "   "     raw maca
you could add more to this such as 2 or 3 celery stalks, handful of parsley, bok choy, kale, collards and any other dark leafy greens.  If you do add more, I usually limit it to just 2 or 3 other greens.

By drinking this smoothie you will assist in cleansing and detoxing your liver, you will also get protein from the hemp powder, the apple will assist in releasing the toxins, the celery helps to reduce the heat in the liver; (according to Dr. Lu), the watercress is an internal cleaner, and the lemons contain pectin, vitamin C, help to alkalize your body, and contain magnesium and calcium.

EAT WELL TO FEEL GREAT!
