They also aid in the prevention of diarrhea, urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome, dermatitis (eczema), and even bladder cancer.

SIDESTEP TOXINS AND FAST SAFELY

2010-03-09T04:20:00.000-08:00

Monday, March 08, 2010 by: Kal Sellers

(NaturalNews) Fasting can be an amazing healing experience. It can also be very dangerous. In this article, we will explore what happens and why. We will also explore how to make fasting work.

Timeless rules about fasting have not changed, but they are more important because the toxins today are more dangerous than they used to be. An article recently appeared in Life University's "Vital Source" that expressed in detail the problem with fasting.(1) A student had been persuaded to do a "Master Cleanse" and decided to actually document her health as she went. She got various assessments from MD's and DC's at the School who wanted to help her. She also got blood tests to determine internal health. She found that as the cleanse went on, she actually developed evidence of liver damage. She ultimately stopped the experiment early.

LIFE AFTER GERD

2010-03-08T05:59:00.000-08:00

A couple of years ago, I tried to do a 40 Day Prayer and Fasting in time for the Lenten Season. I did the one meal a day fast and ate only during dinner time. I drank water during the day at work and nourished my body at night. It was a big sacrifice on my part because it is no joke working on an empty stomach. But whenever I felt the pangs of hunger, I prayed and fed on Jesus' Word. This lasted for about 23 days. I couldn't go on, it was very difficult. By that time time I lost 30 pounds and gained so much faith. It was truly a unique and rewarding experience.

Afterwards I went back to my old lifestyle. I ate whatever I liked and whenever I wanted. Then eventually I got sick all the time. My stomach would ache and I would have cough and cold that would never go away. I didn't realize that my stomach was so much smaller now. I almost broke my back because of carrying heavy groceries. After fasting, my life will never be the same again.

2010-03-05T18:56:00.000-08:00

In today's modern world, there is a stigma against the Enema.

Ginger is a very effective remedy for digestive problems especially GERD. It is also known for relieving indigestion, gas, dyspepsia, flatulence, abdominal pain, fever and as tincture for wounds. Its antibacterial properties can even cure severe sore throat and throat infections just by munching on it raw.

Another way to take ginger is by peeling about half and inch, slice finely and add to hot water and steep. Once you are done, you have a lovely tea you can have before each meal to help with your indigestion and reflux problems.

For intestinal disorders and slow digestion, boil the ginger root in water and drink. The more concentrated the better.

OKRA

2009-06-12T22:07:00.000-07:00

Okra is a vegetable that originated from Ethiopia. But many are not aware of its healing properties especially as a natural anti-ulcer and anti-hyperlipedimic. Furthermore, the bulk formed by okra in the stool promotes the growth of good bacteria. This property is similar to probiotics. It is a significant source of dietary fiber, Vitamin A, and potassium and Vitamin C.

Okra when eaten raw helps in neutralizing the digestive acids and it can be used for intestinal cleansing. It's gooey juices seep into the fingers inside the intestines and the use of fibers like psyllium husks can clean out the dirt in the intestines. It can even reduce cholesterol by binding along with bile acids which usually carry the toxins which the body should eliminate.

PEASANT SALAD

2009-06-12T20:45:00.000-07:00

According to Dr. Emiliano Aligui, PhD, Kangkong or Swamp cabbage is very healthy.

Kangkong [Scientific Name: Ipomoea aquatica Forsk or Ipomoea reptans Poir]Whether it is from the pond or from the garden, kangkong is a commonly used food plant in Asia. Folkloric data indicate that the plant is a general tonic for neuralgia and other nervous diseases and can be used as poultice for skin ulcers. We enjoy this vegetable in our “sinigang” or just stir-fried with garlic and tofu, as with any other vegetable that we consume, kangkong should be washed thoroughly before cooking.
This vegetable is rich in iron and is also relatively rich in S-methyl methionine (so-called Vitamin U – this is pseudovitamin) and is used traditionally to treat gastric and intestinal disorders. S-methyl methionine is a substance that strengthens the cell membrane and overall immune system. It was also reported that S-methyl methionine can act as a hypolipidemic agent or lowers our cholesterol/fat in our blood. Kangkong has also been found to have insulin-like properties, acting as an anti-hyperglycaemic agent.

PEASANT SALAD

Kangkong leaves, blanched
Tomatoes, sliced
Cucumber, thinly sliced
Hard boiled Egg, sliced

Dressing:
3/4 cup Bragg apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup organic olive oil /virgin coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon Bragg Liquid Aminos
2 cloves garlic, minced
pinch of Italian or salad herbs

Mix all ingredients and sprinkle with dressing. Serve.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

2009-06-12T18:26:00.000-07:00

2 tablespoons of organic Apple Cider Vinegar in 8 oz. of water
No honey or sweetener
Taken 3x a day or after meals

This recipe is for severe cases of GERD. But for simple hyperacidity you can take 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 oz. of water 3x a day.

Bragg's Apple cider vinegar is my recommended brand. It is important that the apple cider vinegar is organic for it to be effective. This remedy is the safest and most natural. Taking PPI's or antacids are dangerous to the body and has many side effects that may do more harm than good. Lifestyle change and dietary change is the sure way of healing GERD.

Coconut milk is rich in lauric acid, also found in human milk. Lauric acid is known to contain antimicrobial properties. It is the lauric acid in human milk that prevents infants from being infected by viruses and bacteria. An antimicrobial substance called monolaurin is formed in the digestive tract only when lauric acid is available from the diet. Coconut milk can be used in place of cream for sauces, soups, and stews. Simply use spices and herbs that are Southeast Asian, combined with coconut milk, and create your own delicious recipes. Monolaurin, formed from lauric acid in the digestive tract, helps to inactivate viruses such as the Visna virus, herpes, and the HIV virus.
