Benefit from the Healing Properties of Bentonite Clay


Benefit from the Healing Properties of Bentonite Clay
The healing bentonite clay derived from the montmorillonite family is a volcanic ash that has fallen into prehistoric bodies of water. As these bodies of water evaporate they leave behind a bed of mineral rich bentonite clay. Some of these clays can contain as many as 50 plus natural trace minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and silica, all of which are essential to human health. For thousands of years a variety of ancient cultures have carried around a ball of clay with them in their packs. Often times they would dissolve this ball of clay in water and ingest it with their meals as a means of healing an array of stomach ailments such as dysentery and bacterial food infections. Bentonite clay has also been used to help alleviate diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, stomachaches, acid indigestion, acid reflux, and many other digestive problems. Bentonite clay truly has many healing properties for us to benefit from and is best known for removing toxins.

The Health Benefits Of Celery: An Ancient Healing Food




Celery has a long history of use and is truly an ancient healing food. At first glance celery may seem rather unimpressive, but the more you look into its background and medicinal uses the more you realize that we must have been misinformed on the usefulness of this plant. Traditionally celery, or Apium Graveolens, was used to treat an array of ailments and was very bitter in taste. It is believed to have originated from the Mediterranean basin, and has been harvested since about 850 B.C. Its medicinal properties are believed to be from its volatile oils which are found in all parts of the plant, but seem to be concentrated in its seeds. Ayurvedic physicians used celery to treat colds, flu, water retention, poor digestion, arthritis, liver, and spleen ailments.

Eggshells Are A Bio-Available Source Of Calcium



Americans Are Big On Calcium Supplements


Americans are big on calcium. In fact, the number one supplement sold in America is calcium. What is not well known is that most Americans are also unknowingly buying and throwing away a bio-available form calcium supplement almost every day. If only they knew that eggshells can be used as a good source of bio-available calcium.

According to Dutch research eggshells have a very positive effect on bone density when combined with other minerals such as magnesium and zinc along with vitamin D according to a double blind placebo study. This information is corroborated by a Japanese study by the Japan Women's University. The Japanese study was done on a combination of eggshell calcium and vitamin D3, which was conducted on animals that were shown to have osteoporosis. The study concluded that the combination was able to raise bone density levels without significantly raising blood calcium levels.

A Short Leave of Absence

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am taking a short break from updating the blog with video. My camera is broken so I will have to wait till I'm able to purchase a new one to update videos. Oh well... So it goes!

In the meantime I can suggest a few great sites that I have really been enjoying lately for you to check out!

This website is great! It is an online radio network hosted by Patrick Timpone. He covers many health topics and all of them are free to listen to and download. In fact there are approximately 600 podcasts to listen to with more being added daily. He also brings on current health experts with up to date information. Thank you Patrick!

Another superb website! Updated daily with REAL health information and no fluff. Mike Adams, also known as The Health Ranger, is known for exposing health fraud and bogusness of the mainstream media. There is a lot of misinformation out there and it is good to have a website like this one to weed through it and get to the bottom of it. Thanks Mike!

This is a video blog that is updated 5 days a week by Kevin and Ann Marie Gianni. Kevin has a way of really making the topic of health seem simple and fun! He has well over 400 shows on his site now with a wealth of information to obtain from it. He covers subjects like fitness, health, and food preparation. Thanks Guys

Enjoy these websites, and use them to motivate you to take your health to new levels this year! I promise that as soon as I get my new camera I will be updating more often!

How To Make Raw Muffins



Recipe:
  • 1 Cup Almonds
  • 1 Cup Cashews
  • 2 Tbspn Raw Honey or Date Paste
  • 1 tspn Almond or Vanilla Extract
  • Cinnamon To Taste
  • 1 Banana




Soak almonds and cashews overnight, or for at least 12 hours, being sure to rinse every few hours if possible. Obviously if you do it overnight you will not be rinsing, so it would be a good idea to put the nuts in the fridge while soaking. The purpose behind soaking is to break down the digestive inhibitors. I will post more on this in future blogs.

Add all the ingredients into your food processor, blend, pulse, blend, pulse, go crazy with it! Whoa, not too crazy! Stop blending just before it turns into a pate texture. You are looking for a bit of fluffy-ness!

Scoop out of the processor, add to your muffin cups or shape into a muffin or patty like shape, (or hearts or Mickey Mouse heads), and put into your dehydrator, or if you prefer you can eat them as is. If you are going to dehydrate them I suggest you set it at 130 degrees or so for the first hour, then bring it down to 115 degrees for the next two or three hours.

Top with your favorite toppings and....
Enjoy!
