REAL MAPLE SYRUP DIET 

The Maple Syrup Diet, also known as the Lemon Cleansing Diet, the Lemonade Diet or the Master Cleanse which can supposedly be used for 3-10 days safely. This diet isn't new. The naturopath, Stanley Borroughs, developed it back in the 1950's. Be forewarned: a "cleansing reaction" is often noticed in the first two days. (That's diarrhea to you and me.)

Take a clean one-gallon jug and pour in the following:

3 Quarts of Water

1 Cup Lemon Juice

1 Cup Pure Maple Syrup (not maple flavored, but the REAL stuff) or molasses

1 Teaspoon Cayenne

Shake it all up and drink 8-12 glasses a day.

Warning: You will experience cravings, aches, pains, mental irritability and fatigue. These aresymptoms of your body's detoxification.

If you really want to flush your system, proponents of the Master Cleanse recommend doing the following:

1. Go to your local health food store and get an herbal laxative tea that contains senna. While you're there purchase about 1 cup of non-iodized sea salt.

2. Every morning, before your lemonade, mix two teaspoons of the sea salt with a quart of water and chug. Make sure you are near a toilet and have about an hour to spare. You'll need it.

3. Every night, drink a cup of your laxative tea.

This fast should not be used for more than 10 days and you should wait at least four weeks before repeating it. Supposedly this fast dissolves toxins and is great for breaking up mucous. (That much lemon and cayenne will clear anybody's sinuses!)

Whatever you do, do not go directly back to a rich diet after your time on this fast. In fact, the best thing to do during a fast like this is to start setting your mind to healthy eating so that when you go off the fast you can start fresh on a healthy nutrition plan that will keep you body clean and strong. To ease out of the fast, do the following:

On the first day after your fast, drink unsweetened fruit juicesFor details, click here.

On the second day, you can begin to eat soup. For details, click here.

On the third day you may begin to eat light foods. Whatever you do, do not "wake up" your digestive system with high fat foods. It could be a very painful awakening. Please click here to visit our forum and find out more about this fast. There you'll find plenty of people who have successfully used it and even find a downloadable copy of the official Master Cleanse. Just click here now!

Author's PS: I've had a terrible cold for days and nothing seemed to clear up my sinuses. I tried a glass of this "Lemonade" and in the time it took me to say "Man, this stuff tastes awful!" my sinuses were clear.

MSM TREATMENT CURES ALL DISEASE 

How It Works

MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is an incredible form of sulphur, the third most common chemical in our body. MSM makes cells permeable (which is known to aid in the treatment of cancer), strengthens collagen (which helps stop the spreading of cancer and thus may turn malignant tumors into benign tumors), helps maintain a proper pH (which cancer cells don't like), and causes a host of other benefits for treating cancer, some direct and some indirect.

 

MSM Plus Vitamin C and B12

I will start with a quote from the good folks at Minnesota Wellness: "We've just run across some old research on MSM, a form of nutritional sulfur, that piqued our interest. Currently MSM is being widely used by people suffering from arthritis. It supports connective tissue, and results (lower pain, increased movement) appear quickly. The reason we mention it here [in the cancer section] is that it was discovered in the fifties that MSM tends to turn malignant tumors into benign tumors. And then the research stopped. Why? MSM is cheap (if purchased in bulk, even cheaper) and cannot be patented."

While the substance this quote refers to may have been DMSO, the fact is that MSM is critical to making collagen, the primary constituent of cartilage and connective tissue. It is the largely strength of collagen that stops the spreading of cancer.

The oxidative energy production of cells requires reactive sulphur compounds. Without sufficient organic sulphur as in the form of MSM cells and body structures lose their elasticity and flexibility. MSM's main benefit is to keep cells and blood vessels elastic. It keeps cell walls permeable so that nutrients can freely flow into the cells and wastes and toxins can easily be removed. Puple grape juice is known to have this property also, and purple grape juice is not only a treatment for cancer, but also for heart disease and dementia.

MSM helps the body maintain a proper pH. Cancer thrives in an acidic environment.

MSM tends to reduce or eliminate allergic reactions to foods, chemicals and inhaled allergens (Note: it is possible some cancer is a result of allergies or that they both have the same cause).

MSM is needed to detoxify the body. Amino acid chains are usually linked with each other through flexible sulphur bridges.

Sulfur is present in every cell of every plant and animal. Sulfur is an important element in more than 150 compounds in the body, including tissues, enzymes, hormones, and anti-oxidants. MSM is a nutritional mineral that can help to normalize the immune system.

MSM easily gets past the blood-brain barrier and thus is an important part of any brain cancer treatment program.

In vitro and in vivo tests suggest that MSM has ameliorating or curative activity against a variety of medically important parasitic, microbial, and fungal problems of the intestinal and urogenital tracts. Several prominent alternative cancer experts believe cancer is a microbial problem.

Some researchers are pointing to MSM as the possible explanation for why some cancers go into spontaneous remission. The answer here may lie in MSM's ability to assist in moving free radicals and foreign proteins out of the system.

A study published in 1986 showed that MSM was "effective in the chemoprevention of ... mammary cancers." (Study by Dr. D. McCabe, Dr. P. O'Dwyer, Dr. B. Sickle-Santanello, Dr. E. Woltering, Dr. H. Abou-Issa and Dr. A. James, published in the Archives of Surgery, 12/1986)

Glutathione is the most plentiful antioxidant found inside your cells. It is critical to keep the immune system functioning at peak efficiency. For example, HIV infected cells lose the ability to produce glutathione and will not accept any from the blood. MSM is critical to the formation of glutathione, and many other molecules in your body.

From an oxygen perspective, MSM:
Oxygenates the blood so that red blood cells can deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Improves the lung and all cell permeability to increase lung capacity and increase oxygen intake to the body.
Protects against the harmful effects of toxins, radiation, and pollution.
Disinfects the blood, resists bacteria and protects the protoplasm of the cells.
Is excellent in maintaining flexibility in arteries, improving oxygen flow and keeping the arteries clean and clear of arterial plaque from forming.

Now the bad news.

Since the advent of inorganic fertilizers, our bodies are not getting enough nutritional sulfur. Due to the over-farming, chemical fertilizers, long term storage, pesticides, and the over processing of the foods we eat today, much of the sulfur content of these foods is either destroyed or missing completely.

MSM or Methylsulfonylmethane occurs naturally in many fresh foods but is lost during processing. With today's diet of cooked and processed foods, most diets of civilized cultures are deficient in this critically important ingredient (Note: this may be one reason so many cancer diets focus on "raw foods").

Note: Individuals with plenty of sulphur in their diet (e.g. from eggs and onions) may not experience any benefits from using MSM supplements. Furthermore, individuals who are sensitive to sulphites (often used as preservative) also may react to MSM. This is usually due to a deficiency of molybdenum and can be overcome with supplementation.

Perhaps the "Bible" on MSM is the book: The Miracle of MSM - The Natural Solution to Painby Stanley W. Jacob, M.D. [the DMSO guru as well], Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., PhD, and Martin Zucker

Here is an article on the easiest way to take MSM:
How To Take MSM

 

Supercharging This Treatment

MSM should always be taken with Vitamin C and Vitamin B12. Start at about 1 gram of MSM per day, then build up over the period of a week to at least 3 grams a day. Start at about 3 grams of Vitamin C per day (one gram, three times a day), then over the period of two weeks build up to 12 grams per day (4 grams, three times a day). Take the maximum dose of a high quality Vitamin B12 supplement. A person should also take spirulina in order to get organic Vitamin B12 (e.g. 12 grams a day). Spirulina is a food, like celery, not a supplement, thus there is no limit to how much you can safely take.

If you get diarrhia, then take smaller doses of Vitamin C, more times a day, or build up more slowly.

An alternative cancer treatment should be a complete treatment protocol. Do NOT forget to study the complete treatment protocol for Stage I, II and III cancer patients and the complete treatment protocol for Stage IV cancer patients:
Treatment For Stage I, II and III Cancer Patients
Treatment For Stage IV Cancer Patients

Note

Additives to MSM in order to make it flow more easily or for other reasons, such as silcon dioxide, may have a significant negative affect on the body's ability to absorb MSM. The two vendors I list below claim to have zero silicon dioxide or other additives in their products.

COMPLETE BODY CLEANSE by JIM KLING

Our heavenly Father made your body to heal itself!  You have twice as much lymph in your body as you do blood.  The lymph system is made to cleanse your body. 

I am taking most of this out of Dr. Schultz writings although there are libraries of studies and writings that substantiate everything he writes. 

The first law of natural healing is that you must thoroughly cleanse your organs of elimination and your bloodstream BEFORE you can expect anything else to work. 

You have to give the toxins, etc.  a straight path out of the body.  Whatever therapy you use, it will work better and faster when you cleanse your elimination systems FIRST.  

Quote from Dr. Schultz  "I saw one guy opened up in Santa Barbara who was a pretty healthy runner, a non-smoker, non-drinker, exercise guy who dropped dead of a heart attack while he was running. He was considered a fairly healthy guy, not over-weight at all. 

I saw his gall bladder and, I thought I was going to throw-up.  It was about the size of a softball, it was like florescent golden-green in color and packed hard with cholesterol and probably a thousand stones.  And this guy was considered healthy by his doctors." 

It is impossible  to cure anything in a few days that it has taken us over thirty years to build up to. 

The gallbladder protects the liver.  When the gallbladder is removed, the liver has no place to deposit the excess fat, which means stones are more likely to form in the liver itself--which can be dangerous. 

Dr. Schultz is also convinced that by removing the gall bladder it puts an unnecessary strain on the liver and pancreas - removing the gall bladder will lead to diabetes down the road by weakening the pancreas.  This is the reason it is so important to cleanse the system and get the body back into a smooth working organism of health again. 

This is a simplified quick and easy liver flush that you can do before you go to work in the morning.  Just brush your teeth well to get rid of the garlic smell.  You can also chew on parsley or use chlorophyll as a mouth wash (swish & swallow) to get rid of the garlic smell. 

Put in a Blender - 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 large clove of garlic (fresh is a lot better), 1 fresh piece of ginger root (about 1 inch long), 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice or an apple, 1 cup of water.  Blend until smooth and drink. 

You can double and then triple the amounts as you feel the need - build up to it. He guarantees anyone - even "healthy" people will benefit from this detox formula and pass stones (none or minimal pain - not like a regular attack because the stones are softened and lubricated.)  Do this for 6 days and rest on the 7th for 2 or 3 weeks.

I would consider this program prior to the liver/gallbladder cleanse above so that the pathways are unobstructed.

THE TOOLS OF OUR TIME: Now is the time the Lord has made            

 

I always feel that now is the time we are meant to be. Now is the time our whole life prepared for us. God gave us every supernatural, and every natural power to get things done.

 

No need to call for blessings, you already have them. Just believe, and it is done.

 

Remember how interesting this first sounded, "Wouldn't Jesus use everything to tell us about how much God loves us?

 

Jesus would be on prime time TV, on the Internet with a Blog, a Facebook page, a Homepage, a Church site with a schedule, and theme, and service all saying 'Now is the time!'"

 

Sure good food, good: water, air, probiotics, media, friends, family, help make us happy, healthy, and wise. But everything that went before prepared us for what we are doing right now!

 

Yesterday a preacher said that the song he just heard was "soaking music," because his spirit was filling up with the Holy Spirit.

 

I fealt that the song was affecting me in a special way, not because the singer was holy, or the words were special, or the presentation was done well; but because God was working through it.

 

This made me think that God is doing this very thing all the time. He knows what we need before we ask for it, and we know what needs to be done before we do it. Now all we need to do is know that it is all done.

 

It was all done so that we might believe that it is all done; so that we all can know, experience, and share God's love now, right now, and forever!

ULTIMATE CONCERNS by Phil Cutrara
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: What are they?

What is it that most human beings want now? Could it be virtue and they do not know it! If you ask anyone what they want their reply would depend on who they have become. Street children who have no family, no cloths, no home, and no food can not tell you what they want. They just know that they are sad. Most of them can not understand what life is about for death surrounds them. 

Death is like a storm that comes upon you when you least expect it. If you are fighting a great battle and one by one your fellow soldiers are being killed around you, you might say to yourself “Thank God it was not me!” Today there are countless problems that we all face. Health is foremost, for without your health you would not feel like doing anything. What then do you need to do to be healthy?

The soldier needs peace, the street children need family and the rest of us need wisdom for it is the mother of all other virtues. A lot of people would say that they would like a lot of money even before happiness or health; but wisdom tells us that this is foolishness. “What does it profit us; if we gain the whole world and loose our immortal soul?” Empires were made from the desire for gold, glory, and the gospel; but the means to these goals were filled with error. No one can follow a great leader, and seek great riches.

The list of things an American adult would want seems insignificant to the third world individual’s needs. Our health is poor, and our health care around thirty sixth out of the top four hundred countries of the world. We do not teach our people how to be healthy. Prevention is the key to good health! Good nutrition, proper exercise, education, and culture are the factors that build health. It does not matter how well your doctors are trained; if they do not know anything about prevention. It does not matter how great your health care plan is; if it does not contain sound principles of health.

Health is not just about being happy. Most of us know that people all over the world seek happiness in the wrong places. Health is about everyone knowing the truth and not being fooled by the deception. The researchers have a motto, "If you want to discover the truth follow the money." Who makes a profit, if you are sick? The medical model does, because it is concerned primarily with making a profit! What else is there besides the medical model?

There are countless traditions from around the world that promote good health through the prevention of illness. If there is something wrong with you, you need to find the cause of your problem! You can not just treat the symptoms and ever hope to be health person.

There are many things our country needs to do to get our people back in shape. Organic food is the right direction. Non oil cars are the right direction. Town meetings run democratically are the right direction. Leadership for the future is the right direction.

How do we find all our problems, and how do we start solving them? Mortality lists for today and from the past generation will tell us a lot about where we came from the history of health and we are heading with health care. We can not blame it all on: fast foods, poor crops, pollution, toxins, stress, disease; but they all have an great affect on our well being. It is very difficult to find fresh air anywhere on earth any more; let alone find clean water, or peace and quiet.

Suppose you were fortunate enough to get the best filterer for your air, water, the best food grown, and be educated with the best knowledge; could you obtain good health? Then there are your genes and your heredity? How has mutation change your genes? Does your family have a lot of health problems, circulation problems, cancers, diabetes, trouble breathing, nerve problems, eye problems, skin problems, etc.? The list of health problems that anyone could have is very long. Most of mankind's mutations are caused by free radicals.

Perhaps you had too much radiation, heavy metal contamination, exposure to harmful chemicals, toxins, bacteria, molds, viruses, parasites, diseases, etc.. Then the cure is to mend your cells by nourishing them with the best anti oxidants that are both readily available, and afforable, and to discover all the other things that will promote good health and prevent further damage to them.

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD

“Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food!”

Most all of our medical problems is because we do not eat the right food. Both of my grandparents had produce stores. Our families are part of a long line of produce growers, and sellers of fresh fruits, and vegetables.

The food we eat needs to be in balance. Too much acid, or base producing food is not good for you. Only about 1% of the population is eating enough alkaline (base) producing food. Here is a list of types of food.

Very Acidic Foods and Supplements Include
      Eggs
      Liver and other organ meats
      Gravy
      Broth made from bones or other animal parts
      Wine
      Yogurt with active cultures
      Buttermilk, including buttermilk pancakes and biscuits
      Sour cream
      Most fermented foods and aged cheeses
      Some B vitamin supplements or foods supplemented with B vitamins make your stomach more acid
      Hydrochloric acid supplements
      Digestive enzymes

Acidic Foods
      Corn
      Meat
      Beans
      Fish
      Fowl
      Most grains
      Coffee
      Plums
      Prunes
      Cranberries
      Distilled water

Very Alkaline Foods Include     
      Chocolate
      Figs
      Mineral water
      Orange juice
      Potatoes
      Spinach      
      Bananas
      Watermelon
      Dandelion Greens

Alkaline Foods

  • Most fruits, except as noted above
  • Most vegetables, except as noted above

Neutral Foods
The Mayo Clinic Diet Manual, Seventh Edition categorizes the following foods as neutral foods
      Butter
      Margarine
      Cooking fats
      Oils
      Plain candies
      Sugar
      Syrup
      Honey
      Arrowroot
      Corn
      Tapioca
      Coffee
      Tea

See the full article, and study the acid/base balance on the Internet.

The Problem with Prescription Acid Blockers

Prescription acid blockers operate on the assumption that an over production of acid is the cause of your acid reflux. Based on this idea, they work by blocking or dramatically slowing down the stomach’s acid production, thereby minimizing the chance that acid can enter and harm your esophagus. To that end, they do their job- but at a dangerous cost to your health.

Stomach acid plays an important role in both digestion and your overall health and by blocking its production you are essentially starving the body of life sustaining nutrients. Without adequate amounts of stomach acid, vital amino acids, vitamins and minerals are unable to break down properly and fail to make it into your bloodstream. Insufficient amounts of stomach acid severely impact the production of life-sustaining hormones and create an environment ripe for harmful bacteria to thrive. Without enough stomach acid to keep the bacteria at bay, the toxic bacterial byproducts can spread throughout the body. Overtime, the results of low stomach acid can be devastating.

Research has shown that chronic low stomach acid can lead to a wide range of serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 1 diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergies, skin disorders, and depression.

THE BODY IS NOT THE MIND

Human beings began to think long before they began to understand one another or to reflect upon their thoughts. Reasoning was the progression of their strength that enfolded as his virtue and his connection with nature and the environment improved.

Man began to learn that working in groups was good for his welfare and his well being. The better he communicated with others the better his life became.
