My Morning Routine Timelines and Variations

Buzzy Bee Esther — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 00:55:05 +0000

My Morning Routine

This is what I eat each morning for the Liver Rescue morning which consists of:

Drinking 32oz. of lemon water
Waiting 15-30 minutes.
Drinking 16-32 oz. of celery juice.
Waiting 15-30 minutes.
Taking supplements.
Drinking a smoothie or other breakfast option.
While I wait 15-30 minutes between drinking things, I prepare more food for the day and clean the kitchen as needed.

The timeline for this varies depending on whether or not I have work. I can spend 1 up to 4 hours doing my celery and lemon water and smoothie in the morning/afternoon.

I have an ASMR Youtube video on my morning routine as well as a Voice Over if you prefer to listen to this content rather than read it!

Work Routine

Each morning while getting ready for work usually takes me about 45 minutes to prep and drink my lemon water, prep and drink celery juice, and prep smoothies for breakfast and lunch. Sometimes I get a salad or grab leftovers for lunch.

Then it takes me about 30-40 minutes to prepare for work and take my supplements before heading out the door. I then sip my smoothie throughout the morning because drinking a liter of liquid keeps me pretty full.

Weekend Routine

I take my time on the weekends doing this routine so this can take a couple more hours to complete. Sometimes I wait too long after I wake up and I break my fast with food rather than doing the lemon water and celery juice.

On the weekend, or day I don’t have to be somewhere, I can take up to two hours doing what usually takes me 45 minutes.

My next goal is to try and keep my routine even when I don’t have to get somewhere so I’m ready to go for the day! I need to remember this in the summer because I tend to get out of a routine then and I always gain weight in the summer as a result. My goal this year is to stay in a routine so I can be more productive.

Continue reading to find out more details on the timelines of my morning routine as well as their variations. I will also discuss how these timelines have changed through the years before finding MM, during Covid, and after Covid lockdowns.

Next week I will cover the supplements I take and how I came to take them.

Detailed Timelines

In this next section, I list a detailed timeline of my morning to see how long things take me. This helped me think about how long it actually takes me to do these things as well. Sometimes I feel like it’s forever when I take my time with it, but looking at the time this way made me realize how long it actually takes.

First I’ll review a typical morning during the workweek, what a late wake-up looks like when I don’t feel like getting up early, and then what my weekends or day off looks like.

Typical Morning:

Overall it took me about 45 minutes to prep and drink celery and lemon water. Then it took me 15 minutes to do my hair and makeup, 5 minutes to get dressed, another 5 minutes to take my supplements, then 4-5 minutes to gather my things and head out the door.

6:30 AM Wake up
4 min to get celery juicer together and make lemon water.
By 6:40 I have drunk my lemon water. I start washing and making celery juice.
While I start making celery juice I make my smoothie or smoothies.
5 min to wash celery and run one’s leftover from yesterday.
5 more min to make close to 32oz. I also started my HMDS at this time.
Now it’s 6:52 and I’m about to make my smoothies while I let my celery run a bitlonger to process all the juice.
Then 6:55 I strain the juice and clean the celery juicer 6:58 I’m done.
I usually clean my celery juicer while I’m waiting for the 20 minutes between my lemon water and celery juice.
7 am is 20 min gap.
7:03 While my smoothie is blending I start eating my celery juice and finishing my extraction smoothie.
7:09 I’m making the 2nd smoothie and prepping honey thyme water.
7:12 I’m done with my celery and making my 2nd smoothie.
7:27 I did my makeup and brushed my teeth.
7:32 I’m dressed and loved on my beagle!
7:36 I’m taking my supplements goal is to be on the road by 7:45
7:40 I’m finished and gathering things to go out the door.
7:42 out the door
7:43 – 7:53 on the road
By 8:20 I’ll have sipped at least 1 cup of my smoothie. Sometimes I have two cups. Then I’ll sip it through the morning.
11:15 Early Lunch – Sometimes I’ll finish the smoothie during lunch or after school. If I don’t have a salad or something other than another smoothie I’ll put it in the fridge and drink it on the way home. The HMDS makes about 32 oz. so this one takes me longer to drink than some of the other ones.

Waking up late @ 7:05

In this rushed state, I only took 20 minutes to prep and make things and take supplements. 12 minutes to do hair and makeup, 5 min to get dressed, and 5 min to gather things up and get on the road. Then I take my time drinking celery juice. It takes me 25 minutes to get to work so I’ll sip it the whole time and hold it in my throat at times to get it working in that area.

7:07 – Lemon water only drank 16 oz while making celery juice.
7:27 – I finished making celery juice; a watermelon smoothie with already cut watermelon in the fridge. I also took supplements but not all of them.
7:39 done getting hair and make-up done and teeth brushed.
7:49 on the road.
I drink Celery juice on the way to work in this scenario.
Then I usually wait at least 30 minutes before sipping my smoothie in school. Sometimes I wait an entire hour after Celery juice in this scenario because I don’t get a chance to drink a smoothie while I teach.

The Weekend

I’ll get up anywhere between 7-9 AM. Then I take my time with the morning routine. For the sake of the timeline, I’ll do this according to the 9 AM wake-up time. The following timeline is on a lazy day when I have nowhere to be in the morning.

9 AM wake up then I’ll play on my phone looking at social media or other things for 1-2 hours at times when I’m being lazy.
11 AM ish Then when I get up I’ll have the lemon water and drink that while I prep celery juice. I’ll sip the lemon water more slowly so it takes me 20 minutes to drink a lot of times and then I wait 30 minutes after I’m done sipping it to drink the celery juice.
While I drink my lemon water I make my celery juice, but I’m not in a rush so this takes me longer than usual. I’ll also sometimes prep a smoothie here too.
11:50 I’ll sit at the TV while I drink my celery juice.
11:30 I’ll be done with my celery juice and wait 30 minutes to have my smoothie while I watch TV or play games on my phone.
12 PM I’ll start sipping my smoothie and I’ll drink that into 2 PM ish. Many times my husband and I will grab lunch at this point as well.
Sometimes I forget to take my supplements on lazy days, but I try to take them during my smoothie time if I do take them.

When I have something to do in the morning I usually stick to my 45-minute preparation. If I’m not making smoothies this time gets cut done a little but not by much.

When looking at this timeline it can seem overwhelming to see how long things take and where busy people would fit that in their schedules. Convenience is killing us! Is it easier to grab a bagel at Wawa and not prepare your own food, YES! Is it worth your health? NO.

I feel great when I stick with my morning routine. If I fall off it for a week or two because of vacation or something going on, headaches start to come back and so does the acid reflux. This stuff works!

How this timeline has evolved through the past 2.5 years.

This section is organized in my before Medical Medium era, During Covid, and After Covid. My timeline has changed a lot due to these circumstances.

Before Medical Medium

I usually needed about 45 minutes to get ready before I found Medical Medium. All of this time was spent on getting ready, preparing lunch and breakfast for the day, and going to work. I was always rushing as I’m not a morning person and don’t like getting up.

My breakfast before Medical Medium usually consisted of a coffee and a protein bar or shake. Sometimes I’d grab a bagel or sandwich from Dunkin or Wawa. These are not very healthy at all.

I thought I was healthy with the protein bar, but it turns out that Whey protein is terrible for you because Whey is from milk.

I probably spent 15 minutes max getting my food prepped for the day, and most of that was on coffee! My other things were always grab-and-go. This included me planning out my lunch by grabbing leftovers, a protein shake, or buying lunch (and usually breakfast if I was stopping there) at Wawa before the school day.

After Finding Medical Medium During Covid!

I found MM during the Lockdowns so my morning routine has evolved quite a bit in these past couple of years because of the various circumstances of the morning commute. I was fortunate to learn these things during the lockdown so I could bring it into my habits in a regular schedule as well!

During Lockdowns

I found MM during Covid lockdowns in August 2020. I was fortunate to be able to have some more time to learn his information and apply it because I was working from home so I didn’t have to commute or get completely dressed for school!

I also read parts of Cleanse to Heal during August in 2020 and completed my first 369 cleanse before school started so I felt like I knew a good amount before I had to get into a routine with school again. I was working from home that school year for half of the year, but I did spend a good portion of my days teaching classes online like regular school.

We went back to school in November teaching virtually while having to drive to school. The kids started trickling in with social distancing around January 2021. Then, more kids came back the following year and there was still a good amount of learning virtually. This year (2022/2023) was like a normal year with only a small handful still doing virtual learning.

Working from Home Routine

While I was working from home, I didn’t have to plan my lunch ahead of time because I was home. I don’t usually have time to go out at all for lunch so I always bring it to school. My morning routine does consist of me getting lunch ready as well. I try to have something planned the night before so I don’t have to think about it in the morning.

My morning routine timeline was taking all school day to complete. I would get up and do my celery juice. Then I would teach 1st period and try to drink it during class (which usually didn’t happen). I ended up drinking it during my prep 2nd period.

Then I would go downstairs and make a smoothie. Since I just finished the celery juice I had to wait at least 20 minutes before having my smoothie. Then I would get pretty hungry for lunchtime and I’d snack on different things while I taught.

It was nice having that time to learn the recipes and being able to go downstairs to grab something if I needed it!

Working from School with Virtual Learning

I had to stick to my routine outlined above, but I could leave a little later. Most offices and things of that nature were still online so my morning commute was 15-20 minutes most days. I’d leave around 8 and get to school in plenty of time for first period which started at 8:30.

I usually got up around 7 AM for this schedule and I usually drank my celery juice in school and still took a long time to complete the morning routine.

After Covid Lockdowns

As things started gradually opening up I had to get up earlier to accommodate the longer commute to school which is what my current routine is! If I’m running late I’ll drink my celery juice on the way to work.

Overall, I love this routine. If I don’t stick to it because I’m on vacation or something, I start to feel the negative effects of not having my lemon water, celery juice, and fat-free smoothie! Headaches and acid reflux can come back up especially if I’m indulging in baked goods and cheese. I’m still figuring this whole lifestyle out!

There was a slow process in releasing lockdowns. This 2022/2023 school year was the first normal year since 2020.

The timelines listed above are my routine after these lockdowns. Traffic to school has increased my commute by about 10 minutes each way so had to leave my house earlier than I was when the lockdowns were still in place.

I hope you enjoyed learning about my routine and I hope you are inspired to try it out! Remember every small step counts! Try it out, you might just feel better!

Grab and Go Options for Breakfast

Buzzy Bee Esther — Sun, 04 Jun 2023 21:21:48 +0000

Some days I don’t have time to make a smoothie because I’m running out the door. On these days I’ll reach for plain fruit that is portable. Or at least easier to take with me and I can eat it at my destination.

In this post I also discuss feeling full and what your stomach size has to do with it! Giving your brain what it needs and what addictions have to do with this. I also discuss a bit about supporting your adrenals and volume eating. Enjoy!

If you would rather watch this content and not read it; Here is the video:)

Grab and Go Options for Breakfast

Fruit Options

3 Apples
3 pears
3 bananas
½ Melon cut up
Medium-sized bowl of grapes

Feeling Full

There are 3 tricks to feeling full no overt fat and no traditional protein.

Give your brain what it needs.
Work on healing food addictions!
Eat enough according to your stomach size and try to transition into eating more plants per sitting.

Remember you need to stay fat-free in the morning and preferably all day to let your liver detox. I do not stay fat-free all day because I’m working a lot and used to the fat. There are so many ways to use the MM info to cater to your lifestyle and needs. One step in the right direction matters!

It can be intimidating to implement all the protocols at once. Just try one thing at a time! Make it a habit. Then add more protocols!

Give Your Brain What It Needs

If you are giving your body what it needs, the brain doesn’t send more signals to eat. What your brain needs are trace minerals and glucose! Trace minerals can be found in leafy greens and all things green (mostly) and glucose is in all fruits.

Food Addictions

And finally, you need to work on getting over food addictions that release adrenaline. Some foods that require adrenaline to process are caffeine and fat. Adrenaline can be addicting. I want to do a separate post on eating disorders and addiction because a lot of people are walking around with an eating disorder if they are on the SAD (Standard American Diet)!

Stomach Size

MM has a podcast episode “#029 Eating & Confused: Trying to use food to heal”. In this episode, he explains more about moderation and intuitive eating. People who eat standard things on SAD and say it’s intuitive to eat in moderation (a little bit of everything you crave) are really not giving their body what it needs.

He explained that your portion sizes stay about the same even if you work with someone to improve your health when you get sick. Functional doctors, doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, and the like can help you stay focused, but people tend to eat the same portions no matter who they work with. Portion sizes are how big your meals are. Are you eating 2 chicken breasts or just one?

The conscious needs and wants are different from the body’s needs and wants. Consciousness is programmed to eat a certain way, but then you get sick and you need to find out what your body actually needs! It can feel uncomfortable because it’s against programming. Detoxing is not always comfortable either.

Many people will not even enter this path unless they get sick first as well which is sad. Also, people will think it’s impossible to change their diet because they are still hungry after eating plants and vegetables for a meal. The next section explains why and what people need to do to improve stomach size to sustain a plant-based diet.

In general, people have condensed-calorie, high-fat meals. If you eat small portions of high-calorie high-fat foods, then you have a small stomach. If you eat larger portions of high-calorie high-fat foods, you can have a large stomach.

Shrunken Stomach Size

A shrunken stomach person may not even be able to eat even one banana in a sitting. 2 large bananas chopped up look roughly the same volume as a portion of chicken breast. A shrunken stomach person may not be able to eat all this banana bc it has protein fiber water and sugar making it more voluminous.

The bananas aren’t as dense in caloric wise and fat-wise so it’s much different than what they are used to. One smoothie could be more volume and liquid of food compared to what they’ve eaten in a whole day of dense eating. This is why they feel full, but are hungry very quickly after eating.

Salads are usually small with lots of cheeses and meats to make them dense. Mm salads are huge in comparison and the small stomach person needs to stretch the stomach to be able to eat this way.

Avocado is an awesome transitional food for this reason! It is dense in fat and calories which can fill someone who is used to eating dense meals.

People who are on SAD usually get bits of a sugar high throughout the day with treats and snacks in between. So they may have a hard time transitioning to an MM lifestyle.

Someone trying to eat the Medical Medium way may say they are starving because they had ½ a mango and a salad throughout the day. It felt like it was enough food during the meal but they became very hungry shortly after the meal. Mm says we need to get 2 bananas in you in the morning or at least ½ of papaya to give the body the calories it needs.

Expanded stretched stomach:

This is someone who may eat two chicken drumsticks or 6 scrambled eggs at a time, and large pasta bowls. They may still need treats after this as well. They eat larger portions in general.

These people could be gaining weight or not. Stress can also aggravate the problem. They have a very large and stretched-out stomach.

Stretched stomach people also want more food transitioning to an MM lifestyle. They need to eat even more calories to feel satisfied so they should have more bananas in the smoothie; lots of apples; bring in more steamed potatoes. Eat more than one!

These people may be eating 10,000- 8,000 cal a day and not realizing it. Chicken and cheese and all the different things that they eat from different places have varying amounts of fat and the fats are what create the calories.

Fats vary in the same foods because of portion size and also how that food was raised or produced so that’s why someone may be eating more than they think because the calorie estimates are very general and inaccurate. Science is also one size fits all and to generalize to be specific.

How we may feel transitioning to a healing food diet

When starting healing foods, do you want to be easy on yourself and take it one day at a time because you may have a lot going on, including vagus, nerve inflammation, which reaches down into the stomach. You could actually feel this inflammation in your stomach as the foods are massaging the gut.

Bread and butter bread and butter move through you like a sticky gummy glue, that doesn’t massage anything. Or you may be used to eating eggs which turn into this weird liquid paste that doesn’t massage either and it does it on the walls of the intestine.

People may feel a banana because it is massaging and healing the gut. People get scared by this different feeling because they don’t know about it. The healing foods are waking things up and cleaning things up.

The healing foods are detoxing, cleansing, and purging of the liver of toxins and pathogens. Sometimes people are confused by these feelings and go the opposite direction eating all the bad things that feed the viruses.

Consciousness changes as you come to eat differently. Try incorporating one healthy habit a day to change gradually!

We can take control of our consciousness and infuse knowledge and wisdom to plant seeds of change and reprogram it to work for us!!

Supporting Your Adrenals

The best bet is to eat every 2 hours to support your adrenals. Adrenal snacks are a balance of mineral salts and glucose. So apples with some celery or cucumber are a good bet for this.

In the 3,6,9 cleanse, the last day is all juice. You are supposed to have two apple and cucumber juices to help your adrenals through the day! You also are supposed to have celery juice 2x that day which I’m assuming also helps the adrenals because you are getting plenty of glucose with the fruit juices.

My Experience

I usually don’t eat a large breakfast because celery juice and lemon water are an entire liter at the end of the morning routine. This keeps me full for at least a couple of hours. However, If I don’t have a little more fruit or something else after those hours then I will get pretty hungry.

If I’m too hungry that’s when I could cheat! The best way to prevent this is to eat every two hours!

If you are used to eating a lot of fat in the morning, try adding fruit to oatmeal and using water instead of almond milk or milk to keep it fat-free. I love having peaches and oatmeal in the morning on some days. I would take frozen peaches and add them to the oatmeal. As I would heat it would defrost.

Medical Medium has several recipes with oatmeal in the morning as well. My breakfast cookies ASMR and voice-over are the previous two videos and posts so check it out!!

My Stomach Stretching

Before I found Medical Medium, I had maybe one apple per sitting if I ever even reached for one. Now, I eat three at a time because of his information and following his recipes that explain how much of each ingredient to add.

In general, I usually eat ½ of his recipes in one sitting. This was always consistent even on a 3,6,9 cleanse and I did still feel full.

But, after following this lifestyle for 3.5 years now, I can see that my stomach is expanding. I can eat more fruits and vegetables in one sitting. My salads have become bigger as well as my smoothies!

My Food Addictions

I definitely have a fat addiction! If you are on the SAD diet, you do too! Fat is the biggest thing I crave on a 3,6,9 cleanse is fat!

I also crave chocolate a lot. I’m still working on this addiction. Adding Magnesium supplements to my supplementation has helped with this addiction quite a bit. However, I still do love some chocolate! It is so indulgent. I indulge in some dark chocolate with no milk added from the baking aisle to avoid other candy bars and things like that.

Finally, cheese is another weakness I have! My cheese addiction has subsided significantly after doing several rounds of the 3,6,9 Liver Cleanse in the first couple of years of following MM protocols. Although my addiction has subsided, it is still there with force!

On a positive note, I used to think the cheese commercials showing more and more cheese looked good. Now I think they look gross!

It reminds me of the time in middle school when the DARE told us all the nasty stuff that is in cigarettes and that completely turned me off from wanting to try them. The DARE program also told us it was OK to say no! Nancy Reagan’s, “Just say no” campaign was the reason the DARE program was created in the first place.

I know that statistically the DARE program was unsuccessful, but it worked for me! I used to love the smell of my mommom’s ashtray smoke. When my sister offered me a cigarette in middle school, I was able to say no because I knew about all the nasty stuff in cigarettes and how addictive they were!

Now, I just have to say no to all this stuff because I know what it is doing to my health. It is much harder to say no when you are in the addiction though compared to saying no before you become addicted!

Look at this article I found about the DARE program and a new one that seems more successful at keeping kids drug-free. DARE program article

Volume Eating

I came across this term and concept called “Volume Eating” on social media the other day. The person showing how much she eats was making a huge baba ganoush plate and dipping something in it for a meal. I thought of Medical Medium as I saw this because that is part of what he teaches, he just doesn’t call it volume eating.

MM recipes show that you are supposed to have a lot of salad to feel full. His Liver Rescue Salad for example has 8 cups of lettuce with a lot of topping choices. That is a big salad! His serving size suggestion for this amount is 1-2 servings.

I usually only have ½ of these larger servings. Men usually need more calories than women so I imagine the larger sizes are more for men. But this is of course a generalization and everyone is different on this front.

Also, the raw vegan accounts I follow always have HUGE plates of food they eat. I wonder if they eat the entire salad.

I also think the raw vegan movement came from Medical Medium because he has a 28-day raw vegan cleanse in his first book published in 2015. The revised and expanded version was published in 2021. This is just speculation though. If anyone knows more about this let me know I’m in the comments below!

I noticed a surge in the vegan movement around 2015 when I worked in North Philly and everyone was going vegan there. It would only last a couple of months for some people, but a lot of my coworkers were losing weight and eating just plants and staying away from bread and pasta carbs.

When starting this lifestyle I’ve seen a big community of the raw vegan lifestyle as well on YouTube and Instagram. Like I’ve said before, I like to learn by watching short videos especially about cooking and things so that is why I wanted to start this channel. I was actually thinking about making shorter cooking videos instead of the ASMR to be more informative. What do you guys think of that? Do you like the ASMR videos or would you like shorter videos to learn the recipes quicker!?

A Note on Grains

Oats

Oats are a common American breakfast, but they are considered a filler food, not a healing food. MM mentions in his endometriosis radio episode on Apple Podcast to stay away from grains if you are trying to heal Endometriosis, but he didn’t explain why!

His information is so abundant that he doesn’t always mention all the details in one resource, so I have consumed all of the things. His books, podcasts, and social media posts, including YouTube. Each resource offers more details on what is going on and how to heal. This is another reason I wanted to start this blog and YouTube to help people navigate all this information because it is a lot!

AW also has a grain episode where he goes into some info about grains and how some are detrimental to your health if you have a viral load. Grains that contain gluten feed the pathogens so you want to stay away from them completely!

On pages 146 and 147 in Brain Saver Protocols Cleanses & Recipes AW explains grains more in the “Brain Betrayer Foods” chapter. There are 20 foods in the chapter, and grains are listed as number 20. The foods are listed in order from the most harmful to the least harmful to healing. So grains are last on this list!

AW says that grains are not antiviral or antibacterial. They are carbs that have a hard time reaching the brain because the liver needs to convert the sugars in grains into bioavailable sugars that can reach the brain.

If your liver is sick or overburdened with fats, it will spend too much time in the liver and become gummy and sticky as a result. This causes a blanket for pathogens that can even protect them from getting destroyed in the liver!

By the time the liver produces the bioavailable sugar from these carbs, it is no longer useful because the chemical structure changes so much from the time it was ingested.

Grains can also be problematic because they can become addicting. The sugars eaten from grains and other fruits and vegetables compete with each other to get to the brain. Grain sugars can block fruit and vegetable sugars from getting to the brain.

The brain is always hungry. It cannot survive more than a few seconds without a supply of glucose! Because the grain sugars probably aren’t usable due to a sluggish liver, and they are blocking the good sugars from getting by, the brain is hungry.

This causes people to overeat grains because the brain is sending a signal to eat more! When we add fats like oil, avocado, pork, dairy, cheese, or eggs, the grains can become even more addictive.

Fats get in the way of healing in general because it stops the liver from detoxing, and block glucose from absorbing into the cells.

With all that being said, some people have to have grains due to budgeting reasons. Here are more grains that are OK to eat from best to worst:

Millet is the best because the liver has the easiest time converting this grain into usable sugar.
Oats are the 2nd best for the liver to convert.
Quinoa is third but it can be scratchy on the intestinal lining.
Rice (even brown rice) can be eaten, but use it sparingly because it’s less nutrient dense than the other grains mentioned above.

If you are trying to heal, stay away from fat with your grains if you have grains at all. The fat prevents the glucose from reaching the brain. Weight gain can also occur from this fat and glucose combo because the liver gets overburdened with the processing.

What Each Ingredient Does From Life-Changing Foods and the MM Blog

BANANAS

Bananas

Bananas’ sugar is bonded to trace minerals and larger minerals like potassium. Potassium helps with neurotransmitter function (brain function).

The sugar in the banana is not the same as processed sugar. These sugars are present with fiber, pulp, water, and phytonutrients that make up the entire banana which helps fight disease. The banana also has many amino acids that work with potassium to help produce electrolytes.

Bananas are antiviral, antifungal, and help feed beneficial bacteria in the gut while removing unproductive ones.

Bananas can help with sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and digestive problems like IBS and Crohn’s Disease. They also help balance stress and weight!

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Bananas help us pull back the peel of our false selves to expose our true inner core. They help calm a mind filled with fear, make us more productive, and help “dissolve feelings of ill will.” p61.

If you have a friend that is dealing with PTSD or resentment, give them a banana! 3 a day can help keep PTDS away!

SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

The banana plant isn’t a tree but rather a network of underground roots that shoot up with suckers. The roots are thick and wide, not more than 8 inches in the soil. The trunks are formed layer upon layer of leaves of this plant.

Banana plants grow fast with new shoots sprouting up ready to take overgrowth if the central part of the plant has been taken out by the weather.

As we reach for the sky and continue to grow and blossom in our spiritual development we need to cast our support system far and wide so we can lean on these lessons if challenges take us down.

TIPS

A ripe banana is yellow with brown specs on it. This is at the peak of nutrition. A green banana has enzymes that don’t allow the absorption of the fruit’s nutrients. When the skin is completely brown or black it is fermenting which can lead to a tummy ache.
Bananas are great for travel. Bring them with you so they’ll be ripe just when you need them.
Eat a banana before or after exercise to replenish the body.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a very high antioxidant more potent than other fruits and vegetables. It has Vitamins A, B-complex, and minerals such as chromium, iron, zinc, and calcium. It can help with diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, flatulence, and arthritis.

It can help shorten the duration of the flu and eliminate congestion and mucus from the body. It is also very beneficial for the circulatory system. It can reduce inflammation in the body, stop yeast infections, candida, and menstrual cramps.

It has anti-cancer properties. It also has pain-relieving antiseptic properties used in dental work.

Cranberries

Cranberries are known for their antiseptic qualities that help heal UTIs and yeast infections. This power comes from its ability to fight Streptococcus bacteria. Strep is responsible for these infections although yeast infections are classified as fungal it is actually caused by bacteria. Yeast is a reaction to the body fighting off bacterial infection. Cranberries are a powerhouse of nutrition and even processed canned cranberry sauce with many additives still have nutritious value because it is that powerful.

Physical Support

Cranberries can reverse gallbladder disease and dissolve gallstones. They are powerful liver cleansers and can help you pass kidney stones with ease. They can dislodge earwax buildup and bring back hearing.

They are high in antioxidants such as anthocyanins that help heal cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis. They destroy toxic hormones because they have phytoestrogen compounds that disarm estrogens from outside sources. Some estrogens from outside sources include plastics, environmental pollutants, pesticides, and other synthetic chemicals.

They draw radiation out of the body with the compounds and agents present. The amino acids protect connective tissue and the enzymes present can detoxify your organs. Cranberries have over 50 trace minerals to address deficiencies you may have.

They have compounds that halt the growth of bacteria, viruses, and anything unproductive growing and proliferating inside. They help provide support in stressful times. They also help you lose weight by suppressing your appetite. Eat a bowl a day to see these benefits!

Emotional Support

Eating cranberries can light your path and make you less confused about decisions or where you are in your life. They promote a cheery disposition. Cranberries grow in a very orderly fashion. Add these in your life to help you get more organized in the body and your space.

They help with feelings of humiliation and rejection. If you feel alienated, cranberries can help you feel connected to the community.

Spiritual Support

The cranberry vine stays low to the ground to protect itself from the weather. It takes advantage of good conditions in the peak of its season to dance in the wind and sun. We can learn from the cranberry plant by learning to stand up and dance in the sun with joy at times even though our adult responsibilities keep us in protective mode.

Tips

Try frozen cranberries in oatmeal or your smoothies.
If buying cranberry juice, look for one that has no additives like sugars, preservatives or other additives.
Try eating them with a handful of walnuts to take out the tart taste.
If you really hate the taste of cranberries, you can keep them out on the counter and run your hands over them as you pass. They will give you some physical benefit this way as well. Just looking at them can also help you.

Grapes

This post is to highlight raisins.

Grapes promote wellness. Some people think they are too high in sugar and carbs, but it is the tartness that also stands out.

Physical Support

The tart flavor is an indication that the grade has phytochemicals critical to kidney function. If you have elevated levels of creatinine that means your kidneys can no longer take out the waste matter from the bloodstream. The phytochemicals in the grapes bind onto this waste matter to remove them out of the body.

Grapes are an amazing liver-cleansing food. The phytochemicals dislodge debris, processed food, and by-products that can clog up the lobules in the liver. ScienceDirect.com tells us that liver lobules are white immune cells that help protect the liver from pathogens. It’s important to keep our bodies clean so these immune cells can see the pathogens and attack.

Grapes are also beneficial to the digestive system because they have micronutrients that expel parasites, mold, and other unproductive fungi from the digestive tract. The dark color in grapes is created by antioxidants such as malvidin and anthocyanins can help prevent cancer.

They fight the unforgiving 4 are the viral explosion, DDT, toxic heavy metals, and radiation. They expel radiation. Their amino acids and cysteine work with anthocyanins to become a magnet that draws DDT and toxic heavy metals out of the liver, kidneys, spleen, and other organs. They are also antiviral which fights the viruses we contract due to this viral explosion.

They are an energy food and can give athletes or thinkers a boost when you are constantly on the go. They can help give you the fuel you need for your next big idea!

Emotional Support

Look to grapes for emotional support because they can help lift your spirits and keep you light-hearted. They can help you feel better if you feel left out in life. If you were passed up for a job, then grapes can help you think about new opportunities! Grapes can also help us embrace change and find out if we feel aloof or complacent.

Spiritual Support

Look to grapes for spiritual support because when they grow they bunch together. They connect with each other physically and metaphysically. They fit together so perfectly in their bunches because they adjust to do so around each other. We can look at this as we eat them to help us find our people both consciously and subconsciously. They can help us find our true home and make us feel like we belong.

Tips

Raisins should not be overlooked. They are more powerful for your health than goji berries!
Here is a recipe for grape jelly. Concord grapes, raw honey, and a squeeze of lemon as a preservative. Put all these in the food processor and serve. The sugar in the honey binds to the medicinal qualities of the grapes and makes them bioavailable. They can be delivered deep into the organs.

Melon Smoothie

Buzzy Bee Esther — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 18:11:06 +0000

Materials

High-Speed Blender
Cutting board
Knife

Ingredients (pick one!)

Watermelon
Cantaloupe
Honeydew
Any other melon! I’ve used Dino melons before at Lidle.

Directions

Cut up the melon.
Deseed.
Blend in a blender.
Serve and enjoy!
For juice, run melon through a juicer or blend and strain with a nut milk bag.

Tips

I like to juice watermelon because this was the direction for the original 3,6,9 Liver Rescue Cleanse and it is so delicious! I run it through my MM900.
Blended cantaloupe was also in the last day of the original 3,6,9 Liver Rescue Cleanse and it is filling and delicious!
If you ate a heavy meal or drank alcohol the night before, don’t start your morning with this. The cleansing effect can be very intense. On the 3,6,9 these drinks are saved for day 9. The process before day 9 prepares your body for this intense detox! You may want to lessen the amount or just not have it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I found out the hard way about this detox effect at the shore last summer!
If you like less pulp in your smoothie; strain the pulp out.

What Each Ingredient Does

From Life-Changing Foods and the MM Blog

Melons

Melons are critical to the healing process and can bring you to the “palace of health”. If you think back to how many melons you have eaten in a year, it may only be a total of one because we tend to have slices of melon with meals if you don’t follow MM info.

Melons are like mother’s milk because they are high in enzymes and coenzymes that help strengthen them. The flesh of the melon is also predigested. That means the digestive system doesn’t need to work hard to assimilate the nutrients in the body. The fructose (fruit sugar) in melons leaves the stomach in less than one minute and drops into the intestinal tract fortifying the body quickly. This is like getting IV nutrient therapy!

Melons are basically balls of purified water and they contain exactly what our bodies need. These balls of active fluid bind onto poisons and toxins to flush them out of the body. This restores our immune system. Some of the poisons include mold, mycotoxins, viral neurotoxins, undigested protein toxins, ammonia gas, and bacterial toxins.

Melons also have a high electrolyte content which protects the brain and the rest of the nervous system from stress-related strokes, aneurysms, and embolisms.

Melon also thins out the blood and reduces the risk of heart attack. They help with heart and vascular health and reduce liver or kidney disease. Incorporating melon if you have a liver or kidney malfunction can be the difference between life and death.

The water in melons is identical to our blood. It has sodium, potassium, and glucose that are very hydrating to our bodies. This hydration can help you lower blood pressure as well.

Melon is also very alkalizing. Its trace minerals are highly bioactive and bioavailable which means they are easily used in the body. The body’s detox process is amplified by this which drives out traces of DDT, pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals from deep within the organs.

Melons are also high in silica which is an excellent resource for ligaments, joints, bones, teeth, connective tissue, and tendons to restore. Melon is also a powerful glucose balancer and prevents insulin resistance. It also helps lower elevated A1C levels.

The Cleveland Clinic tells us that A1C is a measure of how much blood sugar is present in your blood over the past 3 months. It is a percentage and it helps determine prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes.

Emotional Support

Look to the melon for emotional support if you are easily frightened, have a difficult time hearing bad news, dealing with PTSD, or heavy emotions. Melons can shift you out of nervousness, skittishness, anxiety, and uneasiness.

Melons can also help you calm down and become more patient in waiting for news. You can offer melons to people who lack patience or are very judgmental. The melon can open up a channel for the person to be more accepting!

Spiritual Support

Look to the melon for spiritual support because it teaches us that we don’t have to fight so hard for the things we want in life. There are powerful forces afoot to make the predigested flesh of the melon without us even realizing! We can rely on spiritual forces to give us opportunities and aid in our healing without a ton of labor on our parts. Of course we should always also take action in health, but spiritual forces also help! We just need to allow for this grace in our daily life and have the mindset that we can heal, and ask for this healing as well.

Tips

Try to incorporate at least half of a small melon per day in your diet to get the most benefit.
The predigested flesh of the melon can cause a stomach ache for some of you who have eaten a heavy meal the day before, during the day or have melon with a heavy meal. The flesh can get stuck in the gut and ferment with these heavy fats and proteins. Eating them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is best.
To determine ripeness of the melon when growing your own, look at the scent. A sweet aroma and a bit of give on the blossom are good indications of ripeness.

Thyroid Healing Smoothie – Banana, Mango & Spinach

Buzzy Bee Esther — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 01:29:29 +0000

Materials

High-Speed Blender
Cutting board
Knife

Ingredients

The base of the Thyroid Healing Smoothie:

2 cups mango
1 banana (I usually use 2)
1 cup water or coconut water

Other healing ingredients to consider adding as per the MM blog:

2 cups of spinach (I usually use 4)

½ cup arugula
1 teaspoon kelp powder
½ inch ginger peeled
1 orange, juiced
½ cup cilantro
½ cup aloe vera gel
½ cup raspberries

Directions

Add all ingredients to a blender.
Blend
Enjoy!

What Each Ingredient Does

Mangoes

Mango is a miracle sleep aid. Many people believe that a glass of warm milk can help you sleep, but in fact, it actually stresses out the pancreas creating a feeling of sleepiness that is a response to stress. This is similar to the sleepiness we feel after Thanksgiving dinner.

Mango’s phytochemicals, amino acids, fructose, and glucose travel to the brain to quickly restore depleted neurotransmitters. This allows people to get a good night’s rest!

What is a neurotransmitter?

Cleveland Clinic explains that a neurotransmitter is a chemical compound that sends messages through nerve synapses (gaps at the end of the nerve cell). All neurons are connected in the body through these synapses and these are one of the ways messages get sent to do things for the body. Our body has a big network of nerves to help our bodies function. Nerves control your mind, muscles, and organ functions.

Picture – https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-illustration-neuron-detailed-anatomy-nerve-cell-close-up-illustrations-set-synapse-passes-signal-to-another-cross-section-nucleus-image92981293

The Medical Medium explains in Brain Saver that if neurotransmitters are damaged, messages don’t travel well and it causes the brain to overheat. Heat is a big factor in brain health, and we need glucose to douse the flames of heat from an overworked brain that might be stressed out. There is so much more about this in Brain Saver which I highly recommend you read!

Back to Life-Changing Foods:

Mangos also help with stress assistance, viral protection, and skin health. Mangos can help reverse type 2 diabetes, hypoglycemia, and prediabetes. They have highly bioavailable trace magnesium and phytochemical phenolic acids that clam the central nervous system. This can help prevent strokes, seizures, and heart attacks.

The mango pulp helps soothe the stomach and intestinal lining which helps with constipation. It is an excellent exercise food because it provides muscles with traces of sodium, glucose, and magnesium. This helps you perform longer and harder during your workouts without the “burn”.

Emotional Support

Amazing at supporting emotional health. They can help uplift our mood and alleviate depression. If you feel abandoned, shunned, detached, lonely, hurt, left out, or let down, turn to the mango for support. Mangos have the power of manifestation. They help reorient us to change direction and open up to more opportunities. They connect us to our destiny!

Spiritual Support

Mangos can handle the heat! The sun beats down on them through their growing season in extreme temperatures. They know how to shield themselves. We can internalize their inner cool if we eat them! If you find yourself in stressful situations, look to the mango to help keep you calm and collected.

Tips

For noticeable results eat two mangos a day.
Eat mango before bed to prompt deep sleep and revelatory dreams!
Eat mangos with some greens like celery or lettuce to help give you an energy boost. The greens take out the sleepiness and can give you an energy boost!
Eat mangos before and after exercise to help with recovery and performance.
Eat mangos before meditation to help connect you to the insights you need.

BANANAS

Bananas’ sugar is bonded to trace minerals and larger minerals like potassium. Potassium helps with neurotransmitter function (brain function).

Bananas are antiviral, antifungal, and help feed beneficial bacteria in the gut while removing unproductive ones.

Bananas can help with sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and digestive problems like IBS and Crohn’s Disease. They also help balance stress and weight!

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

If you have a friend that is dealing with PTSD or resentment, give them a banana! 3 a day can help keep PTSD away!

SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

Banana plants grow fast with new shoots sprouting up ready to take overgrowth if the central part of the plant has been taken out by the weather.

As we reach for the sky and continue to grow and blossom in our spiritual development we need to cast our support system far and wide so we can lean on these lessons if challenges take us down.

Coconut

Be sure to stay away from coconut meat or oil in the morning to stay fat-free!

Coconut water and coconut oil have become more popular in the health field more recently and coconut water was used as IV fluid for wounded soldiers in WWII. Coconut water is very similar to human blood.

The coconut can get in touch with elements of healing foods and amplify them. If you add coconut water to a smoothie with parsley, the coconut water increases the ability of the parsley to alkalize the body by 50%. It also improves its trace mineral salts.

Coconut ignites amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients in food. This helps nourish us to perform our life purpose + some. Coconuts are tropical and need warmth to grow. Humans are tropical creatures in our roots and we also need heat to survive. Therefore, coconut puts us in touch with the essence of our foundations of who we are.

Coconut water can support good sleep because it provides vital glucose and critical mineral salts, including potassium and sodium, to the bloodstream. Glucose and mineral salts are fundamental elements of brain health and support neurotransmitter chemicals we need for sleep.

Coconut water’s trace minerals and electrolytes nourish reproductive tissue which can help with infertility and other disorders involving the reproductive system. Coconut water also helps with blood sugar levels which helps with diabetes and hypoglycemia. It can help with any brain neurological disorder like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Coconut meat (and the oil from the meat) is antipathogenic because of the lauric acid content combined with other antioxidants in the coconut. Coconut has the ability to kill any pathogen it touches in the intestinal tract. It also loosens other facts and pushes them out of the body using its medium-chain fatty acids.

Emotional Support

Coconut helps people open emotional channels that allow them to let go of self-addiction where they constantly weigh their own needs against others. Narcissists and self-consumed people who don’t seem to care about others can benefit from opening up to a more empathetic nature.

Spiritual Support

Coconut trees drop their seeds (the coconuts) in storms. They do this because they want to lighten their load even though their seeds are their most precious commodity. They need to lighten the load to endure the storm. They teach us to let go of things that seem really precious to us in hard times and that the sun will always come out again. What matters is that you are OK at the moment.

Tips

Find coconut water free of additives like citric acid, natural flavors, and cane sugar. Steer clear of pink coconut water because this is a sign it is oxidizing and going bad.

If you get a hold of a young green coconut consume it within a couple of days to prevent cleaning up coconut water from the ceiling and walls from the popped coconut if it sits. If you can’t access fresh coconut then get jarred coconut butter, frozen coconut meat or use coconut oil in cooking.

Coconuts can help reduce your fear of open water because they are excellent swimmers! The seed is buoyant and floats in the water until it lands on another shore to root. They can help us with our swimming fears.

If you have trouble sleeping from the full moon due to its subtle gravitational pull, try having some coconut to get those electrolytes and mineral salts that support the brain neurotransmitters.

Leafy Greens

Romaine Lettuce is in the Vegetable section of the Holy 4 food groups. Leafy Greens are found on pages 146-151 of “Life-Changing Foods” by Anthony William the Medical Medium.

Physical Support –

Leafy greens include lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, mâche, and watercress. People don’t get

Enough leafy greens in their diets. That one or two lettuce leaves on a cheeseburger does not do much for you. Salads are one way to get more leafy greens in our diet!

MM tells us in the book that leafy greens sweep and scrub all the trapped yeast, mold, fungi, debris, and waste matter in the small intestine. They help move these things along in the intestinal tract and your body will finally eliminate them!

He also explains that leafy greens help the stomach become more alkaline which helps hydrochloric acid production. Strong Hydrochloric acid helps kill off the bad bacteria that make acids that cause GERD. H. pylori is one of these bacteria that leafy greens help eliminate and this bacteria causes stomach ulcers.

MM says leafy greens also create an alkaline body and lymphatic system. Our lymphatic system can become very acidic from chemicals, acids, plastics, pesticides, heavy metals, and pathogens constantly entering them. The lymphatic system affects many other body systems including the reproductive system. If we clean this up; then the rest will follow!

On https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/node/1409 I found out the lymphatic system is the body system that helps attack viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. They hold lymphocytes and send them out to attack viruses and bacteria.

Emotional Support –

MM tells us that leafy greens can help us with emotional stagnancy. If our bodies are filled with toxic buildup physically, it will affect us emotionally as well. When we start cleaning up physically, we also clean up stored and toxic emotions. Leafy greens help us feel clean and clear again!

Spiritual Support –

Leafy greens help us stay in the present moment and recognize what is in front of us. They have a short shelf life and the sooner we eat them from the time they were picked; the better they are for our health. “Getting in tune with this awakens us to the other fleeting moments of life…”

Aloe Cooler Recipe

Buzzy Bee Esther — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 20:03:15 +0000

If you prefer to listen to this content rather than read it, check out this YouTube Video.

Materials

High-Speed Blender
Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients

Original Aloe Cooler

2 oranges
1 cup coconut water
¼ Aloe Leaf (about 2 tbsp or 2” of the leaf).

2nd Variation – All ingredients in original +

1 cup of parsley

3rd Variation – All ingredients in the original +

1-2 cups Strawberries
1 cup parsley

4th Variation – All ingredients in the original +

2 cups pineapple
3 mint leaves
1 lime juiced

This is the Aloe – Pineapple – Juice Cooler from the MM Blog linked in the resources section at the end of this article.

Directions

Cut off 2” of the aloe leave and filet the gel. Here is a video on how to do this.
Squeeze the juice of two oranges into the blender.
Add all other ingredients to the blender.
Add a cup of coconut water.
Blend and enjoy.

Optional: add some parsley or strawberries for an amazing flavor! Parsley is also very alkalizing.

Another Option: add pineapple to change the flavor some as well. I wouldn’t put the parsley with the pineapple because it doesn’t taste great.

Tips

Make sure to invest in a high-speed blender. When I made this using my Nutribullet, I didn’t like the texture as much because the gel of the aloe didn’t grind down enough and I could feel the chunks of it. If the aloe is mixed well, then you cannot taste it.

Also, If the aloe taste is too bitter, then cut off the end and put a wet paper towel at the end to get some of the reddish/yellowish liquid out stuff out. Let it sit in the fridge with a wet paper towel around the end for a couple hours before or overnight before making this to get the bitter taste out. Once you get used to it more you won’t have to do this step.

I noticed this because the drink would be gross to me the first day I would cut Aloe, but then to store it I found online to put the wet paper towel around the edge and put it in the fridge. One Aloe leaf usually lasts me about a week. The next day, I noticed I enjoyed the drink more.

Now, I use fresh aloe without waiting and it tastes fine to me. Your taste buds change as you eat differently.

This reddish/yellow liquid is called Aloin and has many healing properties, but if you aren’t used to eating Aloe fresh, you may want to try and get some of it out at first.

I found that this liquid was called Aloin from learningherbs.com. You can find more information about what this aloin does on the website listen in more resources at aloveria.com. Finally, Muneeza also has a strategy to make it a little sweeter here also listed in more resources. It is a simple trick to take out the bitterness in aloe.

What Each Ingredient Does

From Life-Changing Foods and the MM Blog

ORANGES

Oranges have a coenzyme, Glutathione, which is activated by its high content of flavonoids and limonoids. These three things fight off viruses, protect the body from radiation damage, and deactivate toxic heavy metals in the system.

Oranges can help regrow teeth due to their bioactive calcium.

The acid in oranges can help dissolve kidney stones and gallstones as well!

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Orange juice can cut through doom and gloom and bring liquid sunshine into your life! Eat them when feeling sun-deprived in the winter. They will fill you with warmth!

SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

Oranges take a backseat in our diet. We don’t think much of them. In the past, our ancestors would treat the orange like gold because they weren’t always available, especially in the winter. When they were, they usually went to the very wealthy rather than the regular townsperson.

We need to think about what in our lives we have devalued and take a second glance. The orange is readily available during all times of the year. We need to value it again and make it central in our diets to help with many health issues!

Coconut

Coconut water’s trace minerals and electrolytes nourish reproductive tissue which can help with infertility and other disorders involving the reproductive system. Coconut water also helps with blood sugar levels which helps diabetes and hypoglycemia. It can help with any brain neurological disorder like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Coconut meat (and the oil from the meat) is antipathogenic because of the lauric acid content combined with other antioxidants in the coconut. Coconut has the ability to kill any pathogen it touches in the intestinal tract. It also loosens other fats and pushes them out of the body using its medium-chain fatty acids.

Spiritual Support

Tips

Find coconut water free of additives like citric acid, natural flavors, and cane sugar. Steer clear of pink coconut water because this is a sign it is oxidizing and going bad.

If you have trouble sleeping from the full moon due to its subtle gravitational pull, try having some coconut to get those electrolytes and mineral salts that support the brain neurotransmitters.

Aloe Vera

Aloe is well known for its uses outside of the body including sunburn, cuts, bruises, bug bites, and burns. It is much more beneficial to take it internally. It can help cleanse your colon and relieve constipation.

It has over 70 trace minerals that are grouped together with undiscovered medicinal alloys. These make the aloe anti-inflammatory and help rejuvenate and repair parts of the digestive system like the appendix, ileum, and intestinal tract. Healing the ilium can help with b12 production because that is where it is produced.

It is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-parasitic. This helps eliminate all kinds of digestive cancers. The beta-carotene and lignins in aloe vera also remove radiation from the body.

Emotional Support

Look to aloe for emotional support because it helps you through major transitions like moving or feeling lost. This wild food will help you feel at peace with your surroundings.

Spiritual Support

Aloe has been around since ancient times and most people are unaware of all its uses. When we start to realize what aloe can do for us, we can be inspired to look at the world around us with fresh eyes. This also helps us look into other uses of the things already around us.

Tips

Even if Aloe is grown at home or bought in the grocery store it still maintains its wild food nature. Aloe helps the skin more when taken internally and can help with bags under the eyes and bring back a youthful glow. You can use fresh aloe gel on scratch rashes, tick and flea bites, and hair fur loss on pets.

Parsley

This herb has all the elements of the other aromatic herbs, but it was listed on its own in Life Changing Foods because of its power to alkalize the body. The mineral salts in parsley help make it alkalizing. It can help alkalize all systems in the body rather than just one or two especially if you consume it in your daily routine. These properties help drive our acidity, and diseases such as cancer thrive in an acidic environment.

It is an all-pathogen fighter and can pull out herbicides and pesticides. It has B vitamins including folic acid, traces of B12 coenzymes, and vitamins A, C, and K. it is remineralizing from the trace minerals including magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, selenium, iodine, and calcium. It can also help the adrenals.

Emotional Support

Parsley can help you balance your state of mind and being. If you feel like people around you or you are on an emotional roller coaster, offer them some parsley.

Spiritual Support

Parsley teaches us to not ignore things that could ultimately help us. People miss out on these health benefits because they don’t like the taste. When people don’t like the taste they tend to stay away from it.

Pineapple

In Liver Rescue we learn that Pineapple dissolves gallstones. It is highly acidic and has many chemical compounds that enter the liver easily. These healing chemical compounds brush the inside of the liver getting rid of the “sticky, mucous-y, debris, gunk, and by-product that can build up inside of the liver from troublemakers” like food and chemicals, heavy metals, and viruses.

Pineapple helps cleanse and detox the entire body. It can also burn fat and tone the stomach.

Tip: If you cannot handle pineapple’s astringency, then only eat the bottom ⅔ of the pineapple.

What Each Ingredient Does From Life-Changing Foods and the MM Blog

Please continue reading to find out what each ingredient does for us from Life Changing Foods by Anthony William the Medical Medium. I’ve copied these from my previous blogs with more resource links attached to the original blog. This information was taken from the books and the MM Blog. Sometimes I supplement another website for more information as well.

Potatoes pgs. 158-161

Potatoes have been wrongly accused of being a disease-causing food when they are in fact healing if you don’t have them with a ton of fat, oil, butter, and cheese. The reason potatoes have got a bad rap is because of the oil, fat, and butter that is usually added to the potato in the traditional diet. The fat combined with the carbs is the true cause of insulin resistance and a bad A1C count. It is the fat, not the potato! Potatoes are naturally fat-free!

The skin of the potato which can be red, brown, gold, blue, or purple, is filled with amino acids, proteins, and phytochemicals. Potatoes both inside and out “draw some of the highest concentration of macro and trace minerals from the earth.” (p159).

They are high in potassium, vitamin B6, and amino acids. One bioavailable amino acid is Lysine which is a “powerful weapon against cancers, liver disease, inflammation, and the viruses such as Epstein Barr and shingles. These viruses are responsible for many autoimmune conditions.

MM also mentions in Liver Rescue that Lysine creates a smoke screen in the liver so the viruses can’t see. The liver’s immune system can then start attacking the virus and it helps the liver a lot.

They are antiviral and antifungal which help with strengthening kidneys, soothing nerves, and the digestive tract which can reverse Crohn’s, colitis, IBS, or peptic ulcers.

They have nutritional cofactors and bioactive compounds that keep us healthy and help with stress. Potatoes can also keep us grounded and centered because they are a brain food. The potato can spring to life when you put it on the counter in a cup of water. This is a powerful potato!

I wonder if he says more about potatoes being a brain food in Brain Saver!

Emotional Support

Potatoes reorient us and ground us. They offer these things especially if we are feeling troubled or adrift in our lives. They can calm down a consuming ego and ignite the humble confidence within. They can help calm toxic emotions that can keep us from getting to our goals. They can help us feel grateful for our experiences and help us make grounding and stable decisions.

Spiritual Support

Potatoes are so grounding because of the way they grow. They grow in clusters and have a large network, kind of like an extended family. They come in large numbers kind of like a large family of loved ones fighting for us!

The potato is a great food to turn to when you feel like the underdog and overlooked. It can help you energetically feel grounded and like you belong. So much of us is beneath the surface, and we are supported and witnessed, and we deserve to “unearth our true nature and share it with the world!” (p160).

Tips

Seek out organic if possible due to their absorbing nature when they grow. The best way to prepare the potato to keep all the nutrients intake is to steam them. You can batch-steam them and pull them from the fridge to add to recipes throughout the week.

Put a raw potato directly on a cold sore for relief.

You can put a potato on the kitchen counter or somewhere else in the home to help absorb negative effects of signals from wireless internet, cell signals, and EMF. They can also soak up and neutralize negative emotional energy we can pick up through the day and bring home to us. If you leave a potato out, don’t eat it and toss it after 5-7 days.

Potatoes can also help support and sustain happy emotions from a celebratory event like a wedding or special occasion. Be sure to include them on the menu for these things!

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes feed good bacteria in the digestive tract. They starve unproductive bacteria and mold that hang out there. They enhance the body’s production of B12 because they get rid of these bad things. It reduces megacolon that can happen from bad bacteria and helps prevent the narrowing of the intestinal tract that can happen with Chrons and colitis.

They have MANY vitamins and minerals including carotenoids and beta-carotene and lycopene. The phytochemicals are very powerful and can help your skin look sun-kissed if you eat enough of them.

The lycopene and amino acids present in sweet potatoes help pull out radiation from the body. The phytochemicals prevent cancer. They help regulate hair growth by making it grow and inhibiting it where you don’t want it to grow.

Sweet potatoes are phytoestrogenic which rids the body of unusable and destructive estrogen. This estrogen interferes with the body’s hormone function. They come from plastics, pharmaceuticals, food, environmental toxins, and the body produces more estrogen than it needs to do eating estrogen-producing foods.

The excess estrogen sits in the organs and inhibits the endocrine system from working at its full capacity. The phytoestrogenic qualities help rid the body of excess estrogen and make way for the good stuff!

They help with insomnia and other sleeping disorders because the form of glucose they provide stimulates neurotransmitters to make glycine, dopamine, GABA, and serotonin. All of these neurotransmitters help you sleep better.

Emotional Support

Sweet potatoes are the ultimate comfort food and can help us block out the world around us in hard times. This can make us feel safe and soothed like “you are getting a hug even if no one’s there to give you one so that you can draw up the strength to deal with hard times.” (p176)

Spiritual Support

We tend to overindulge in the sweet potato by adding butter, sweet cream, and more to it for traditional recipes. The sweet potato bubbles up and drips down the sides on its very own because of how sweet it naturally is!

Sweet potatoes help us appreciate the gifts we have received when we think it isn’t enough. It teaches us to look at where we are adding unnecessary toppings in life.

Tips

Try to eat one sweet potato a day to get the most benefit! If you crave creaminess with the potato, try adding avocado instead of butter.

Cook the sweet potato in bulk by either steaming or baking them and store them in the fridge. Add sweet potatoes to salads to help the body assimilate nutrients even better from the salad. You can also have a few bites of sweet potato in the middle of the night to help you sleep if you can’t sleep well.

Rubbing raw sweet potato on a scar can help it heal and reduce scar tissue. Instead of using cucumbers under the eye; try steamed sweet potatoes to bring back a youthful look!

Eat a sweet potato if you are sunburned to recover faster. If you have a lot of scar tissue in the body from surgeries then eat two sweet potatoes daily for one week. Then eat 1 sweet potato daily for three weeks. Repeat until scar tissue improves.

If you are going to watch a scary movie or action-packed film, eat a sweet potato beforehand to support your adrenals.

Onions

Leeks, chives, ramps, scallions, red onions, yellow onions, white onions, shallots, and other alliums are nature’s antibiotics. The sulfur in them makes them antibiotic. If onions cause you discomfort when you eat them, you could have a large number of unproductive bacteria in your digestive tract that the onions help eliminate. That die-off can result in an upset stomach.

They help kill unproductive bacteria throughout the entire body which also helps the body produce B12. People dealing with SIBO will benefit from adding this to their diets in a large way!

If you are sensitive to onions’ cleansing power, try adding them to the diet slowly and increasing them over time.

The sulfur in onions pulls out radiation from the body. It also pulls out viruses, pesticides, herbicides, and toxic heavy metals. The sulfur also alleviates joint pain and repairs connective tissue and tendons. It also slows iron loss in the body.

Onions are high in trace minerals zinc, manganese, iodine, and selenium. They rejuvenate the skin and protect the lungs.

Onions can help with shortening flus and breaks up mucus from the stool and soothe the intestinal tract. Onions are medicine against pathogens of all sorts.

Emotional Support

Onions purge anger from the body. They “loosen up resentment, fury, vexation, and disappointment so you can be free to live your life.” (p153)

Spiritual Support

Onions help us appreciate people who work hard to alleviate a problem but mistakenly get the blame, like a parent pointing out how to fix homework to a child. Onions get the blame for bad breath when in fact they are helping the breath by eliminating bad bacteria. “The next time you’re in a situation where you’re quick to point a finger, keep in mind the plight of the onion, and take a moment to analyze every angle.” (p154).

Tips

Don’t soak the onions because that lessens the medicinal qualities. If you do decide to eat an unhealthy item; be sure to put raw onion on it to counter the bad.

When ordering out at restaurants, order things with onions to avoid picking up viruses. When picking onions at the market, make sure they are firm and not sprouting green. If they have fresh greens from them because they were just picked, this is different and they are very beneficial.

To break up sinus congestion, cut an onion into a bowl of hot water and put a towel over your head and the bowl to breathe in the steam. This will help break up the congestion and mucus.

Onions eaten daily can increase circulation of the body and help with cold hands and feet.

Bell Peppers

Bell peppers are not in the Vegetable section of the Holy 4 food groups. You can however find a blog post about the benefits of bell peppers on the MM blog. The link is in the “more information” section.

Physical Support-

Bell peppers help lower cholesterol and have anti-cancer compounds that help lower the risk of certain cancers. They help with memory and concentration in the brain. The fiber in the bell pepper can help keep you full to curb your appetite which in turn aids in weight loss.

The green bell pepper is unripe so go for the red, orange, and yellow versions of this pepper to get the most vitamins and minerals. These peppers help in general with the immune system as well.

Eating unripe (or overly ripe) fruits or vegetables can lead to a stomach ache!

Their sweet crunchy taste makes them perfect to snack on or to have in salads or wraps as well.

Aromatic Herbs (Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme)

Aromatic herbs pose high levels of minerals and disease-fighting phytochemical compounds. They release an antifungal compound through their roots that earthworms love. The earthworms help fertilize and aerate the soil as they eat this compound helping the wild plants thrive.

Oregano is antibacterial. Oregano oil is also antibacterial and effective against E.coli and ringworm. Oregano can help fight H. pylori, Streptococcus, and E. coli which minimizes SIBO.

Rosemary is also antibacterial and can help fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria like Streptococcus and much more.

Sage fights fungus. It can also remove heavy metals from the intestinal tract.

Thyme is antiviral and can fight viruses that are in the herpetic family that cause neurological symptoms. Thyme can cross the blood-brain barrier which can help it attack viruses that have started to attack the brain or spinal cord which results in neurological symptoms.

Emotional Support

These herbs can help level you out. They “break the cycle of feeling consistently overstimulated, so that you can take what comes on more of an even keel”, especially during stressful times. (p183).

Spiritual Support

These herbs help us connect with our most essential selves. They have been around since the beginning of humankind and have adapted with us through the ages. They help remind us who or what is there in our lives to connect us to ourselves. (p183)

Tips

Add these herbs to your daily cooking to get them in your arsenal. Try using essential oils of these herbs to help clean the mind, body, and soul. For example, you can add rosemary essential oil to a bath to purify it.

Garlic

Garlic is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-mold, anti-parasitic, and rich in phytochemical allicin, a sulfur compound that prevents disease.

Bad bacteria run on a positive charge, draining us of energy because humans run on a negative charge. Garlic helps kill the positively charged bacteria in the gut and helps the negatively charged bacteria in the intestinal tract and gut. Garlic has anti-pathogenic properties that run on a positive charge. This likeness rids the body of positively charged pathogens.

“It can help fight colds, flues, strep throat, pneumonia-causing bacteria, and viral-related cancers. It also extracts heavy metals in the colon and gives you a powerful immune boost.” (p194)

Emotional Support

Turn to garlic when you need protection and shelter, especially when starting new things or being exposed to new things.

Spiritual Support

When garlic is harvested, it needs time to rest in the garden bed to build its immune system from all the things that attack plants when they grow. They get strength through the growing season and can pass that on to us. We need to take a cue from garlic and take time to rest and be away from pathogens so we can prepare for our growing season. (p195).

Tips

Garlic is best consumed raw. Try mixing it into dips and dressings to get it into your diet. Try to get one clove a day of fresh raw garlic to get medicine and protect yourself from pathogens. If you feel like you are getting sick, mash a clove into a banana or ½ of an avocado or some cooked potato. Do this three times a day and consume to feel better.

Paprika

This is not in the book but it is on the MM blog: https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/paprika .

Paprika is high in vitamins A & C. It has many bioflavonoids, antioxidants, and carotenes. Paprika can relieve sore throats, runny noses, congestion, and headaches which are symptoms of the common cold.

The capsicum in this spice is the same found in chili and bell peppers. Its unique flavor can range from very sweet to very hot. This quality has pain-relieving properties.

Paprika has a very high amount of vitamin C which does many beneficial things for the body. Vitamin C helps the body assimilate iron, strengthen the immune system, and protect against cardiovascular disease including heart attacks and stroke.

It can aid in digestion and improve circulation. It can also normalize blood pressure and feed the cell structure of the arteries, veins, and capillaries to regain elasticity. It is a great internal warmer in cold weather.

It is antibacterial and can protect from salmonella and E. coli in the digestive tract. It can also help fight common infections in the body.

Add paprika to your food like soups, salsa, guacamole, roasted veggies, potatoes, and cauliflower. A pinch can be added to a smoothie as well to get all the benefits mentioned above.

Broccoli, Red Cabbage, and Green Cabbage

Broccoli, red cabbage, and green cabbage are all in the Cruciferous Vegetables in the Vegetable section of the Holy 4 food groups. They are found on pages 136-141 of “Life-Changing Foods” by Anthony William the Medical Medium.

Other cruciferous vegetables include brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli rabe, arugula, and mustard greens.

Physical Support-

Cruciferous vegetables can ignite hidden healing abilities of other foods when eaten in certain combinations. One of the four combinations mentioned in the tips section is asparagus and broccoli. When eaten together, the broccoli activates cancer-fighting compounds in the asparagus.

Cruciferous vegetables can pull out radiation from the Thyroid that most likely got there from dental work. They are also good for lung health because of the two different types of sulfur in them. They can help restore and stimulate the growth of lung tissue. (p136)

Red cabbage can reverse scar tissue in the liver. Broccoli is like an all-purpose multivitamin that is amazing for the immune system. Broccoli can help every organ, gland, bone, nerve, and more! Green cabbage supports the joints and can reverse osteoporosis.

Emotional Support –

Cruciferous vegetables will help with confusion in general. Sit with a bowl of these vegetables to gain clarity.

Spiritual Support –

Cruciferous vegetables help make room for patience and thankfulness for ourselves and others in our lives. If you have had anyone stab you in the back, take comfort in the fact that these vegetables have been caring for our bodies for a long time and have had recent attacks on them about harming the Thyroid. In fact, they help the thyroid, not harm it. We need to honor those that have helped us, not turn our backs on them.

Red Pepper Flakes

Red Pepper Flakes are a hot pepper! MM mentions in Facebook and Instagram posts that hot peppers help stimulate a stagnant and sluggish liver. They also help to reset the liver.

Asparagus pgs. 128-130

Asparagus is the fountain of youth! All the single stalks of asparagus were on their way to become small trees and they have so much life force and energy coursing through them. It is similar to when we were at our peak age and performance as well. When we eat young shoots, their energy is transferred to us. This propulsive energy keeps us young and helps us recover and prevent all kinds of symptoms.

They contain phytochemical compounds such as chlorophyll and lutein that help clean the organs well. They get deep into organs and scrub the toxins out. The chlorophyll in them, when bonded to amino acids such as glutamine, threonine, and serine, provides heavy metal detox as well.

Some of the phytochemicals present in asparagus inhibit toxins such as DDT, other pesticides, and heavy metals that may be new to our bodies which helps prevent them from taking residence in the organs. This toxin inhibition helps fight all types of cancers.

It attacks new toxins and other parts of the asparagus scrub the old stuff that has gone deep into organs out!

Asparagus has a lot of easily absorbable B vitamins. When we are under a lot of stress the body uses a lot of B vitamins. The high amount of these vitamins in asparagus helps us reestablish proper levels of these nutrients so we don’t become deficient.

The silica and trace minerals such as iron, zinc, molybdenum, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium, and selenium help the body support the adrenals. These glands are pushed to the max when we consume caffeine, are under stress, or are dealing with pretty much anything that isn’t peaceful!

Finally, asparagus alkalizes the body by flushing out unproductive acids. Disease flourishes in an acidic environment and we get acidic in our bodies with things we consume and all the toxins and pathogens we are faced against. That is why it is important to turn to alkalizing foods like asparagus and parsley.

Emotional Support

Look to asparagus if you struggle with shyness, self-consciousness and concern over what others think of you. Asparagus can help you gain the confidence you need to claim your place in the world!

Spiritual Support

We harvest asparagus as a sprout. If we let it grow it would get woody and inedible. Farmers have learned the right time to pick the asparagus for optimum taste. We can apply this to our own lives by recognizing cycles and growth throughout our lives. We need to see when things reach their peak and know when to head things and harness the energy and power of that cycle. Doing this ensures the best possible outcome.

CILANTRO

Cilantro removes heavy metals from the brain because the mineral salts like sodium, potassium, and chloride present in the living water of the leaves and stems can travel through the bloodstream, lymph fluid, spinal fluid, and blood-brain barrier. The brain likes to suck up these mineral salts.

When cilantro’s phytochemical compounds are attached to the mineral salts, they can remove the heavy metals and oxidized residue from neurons in the brain helping the brain work better overall!

AW speaks of the cilantro aversion here as well and tells us that it is from the oxidation of heavy metals and the toxic runoff goes into the lymphatic system and the saliva. This runoff doesn’t mean there are more toxic metals, but a certain combination causes toxic runoff. If you don’t like it, it probably means you need it.

Cilantro is antiviral and antibacterial. Pathogens and parasites don’t like the taste of it! It can extract heavy metals from every part of the body including the liver! It helps the adrenals, balances glucose levels, and helps with weight gain.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Cilantro helps us to find out our path in life without getting distracted by others’ behaviors or other options.

SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

Cilantro never stops pulling out heavy metals from our bodies. This teaches us that in life we can pull out negative emotions as well. If people in our lives need help; we can help them move past their problems by just lending a sympathetic ear. We can also purge negative self-talk and beliefs that don’t serve us as we heal! (p191)

Parsley

This herb has all the elements of the other aromatic herbs, but it was listed on its own in Life Changing Foods because of its power to alkalize the body. The mineral salts in parsley help make it alkalizing. It can help alkalize all systems in the body rather than just one or two especially if you consume it in your daily routine. These properties help drive our acidity; and diseases such as cancer thrive in an acidic environment.

It is an all-pathogen fighter and can pull out herbicides and pesticides. It has B vitamins including folic acid, traces of B12 coenzymes and vitamins A, C, and K. It is remineralizing from the trace minerals including magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, selenium, iodine, and calcium. It can also help the adrenals.

Emotional Support

Parsley can help you balance your state of mind and being. If you feel like people around you or you are on an emotional roller coaster, offer them some parsley.

What Each Ingredient Does

From Life-Changing Foods and the MM Blog

Potatoes pgs. 158-161

Potatoes have been wrongly accused of being a disease-causing food when they are in fact healing if you don’t have them with a ton of fat, oil, butter, and cheese. The reason potatoes have got a bad rap is because of the oil, fat, and butter that are usually added to the potato in the traditional diet. The fat combined with the carbs is the true cause of insulin resistance and a bad A1C count. It is the fat, not the potato! Potatoes are naturally fat-free!

The skin of the potato can be red, brown, gold, blue, or purple, and is filled with amino acids, proteins, and phytochemicals. Potatoes both inside and out “draw some of the highest concentration of macro and trace minerals from the earth.” (p159).

MM also mentions in Liver Rescue that Lysine creates a smoke screen in the liver so the viruses can’t see and the liver’s immune system can then start attacking the virus; it helps the liver a lot.

They are antiviral and antifungal which helps with strengthening kidneys, soothing nerves, and the digestive tract, and reverse Crohn’s, colitis, IBS, or peptic ulcers.

They have nutritional cofactors, and bioactive compounds that keep us healthy and help with stress. Potatoes can also keep us grounded and centered because they are a brain food. The potato can spring to life when you put it on the counter in a cup of water. This is a powerful potato!

I wonder if he says more on potatoes being a brain food in Brain Saver! I’m still reading it.

Tips

Seek out organic if possible due to their absorbing nature when they grow. The best way to prepare the potato to keep all the nutrients intake is to steam them. You can batch steam them and pull them from the fridge to add to recipes throughout the week.

Put a raw potato directly on a cold sore for relief.

Potatoes can also help support and sustain happy emotions from a celebratory event like a wedding or special occasion. Be sure to include them on the menu for these things!

Onions

They help kill unproductive bacteria throughout the entire body which also helps the body produce B12. People dealing with SIBO will benefit from adding this to their diets in a large way!

If you are sensitive to onions’ cleansing power, try adding them to the diet slowly and increasing them over time.

Cumin

Cumin helps with many digestive issues. It also helps the body assimilate nutrients. It has anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties. It helps the liver and kidney function better which helps the body detox in general. It helps with most body systems and fights many pathogens when you are sick. If you are pregnant, it can help with morning sickness. If you are breastfeeding, it can strengthen milk production.

You can add cumin seeds or powder into warm water to make tea. You can also mix the powder in an oil to make a topical cream to put on boils and sores. You can also add it to dishes as a spice as I do with potatoes! It’s so good!

Sweet Potatoes

They have MANY vitamins and minerals including carotenoids and beta-carotene and lycopene. The phytochemicals are very powerful and can help your skin look sun-kissed if you eat enough of them.

The sweet potatoes are phytoestrogenic which rids the body of unusable and destructive estrogen. This estrogen interferes with the body’s hormone function. They come from plastics, pharmaceuticals, food, and environmental toxins, and the body produces more estrogen than it needs due to eating estrogen-producing foods.

Emotional Support

Sweet potatoes are the ultimate comfort food and can help us block out the world around us in hard times. This can make us feel safe and soothed like “you are getting a hug even if no one’s there to give you one, so that you can draw up the strength to deal with hard times.” (p176)

Cinnamon

It has anti-cancer properties. It also has pain-relieving antiseptic properties used in dental work.

Ginger

Ginger helps the body relax by going into the organs and muscles and calming them down. If you suffer from sleep apnea, adrenal fatigue, or acid reflux then try to have a cup of ginger tea that will relax you for up to 12 hours.

It soothes and relaxes throat muscles, relieves tension headaches, and helps flush out lactic acid caused by exercise and stress.

Ginger has more than 60 trace minerals, over 30 amino acids, and more than 500 enzymes and coenzymes that all work together to create antispasmodic properties of ginger. It is an antiviral, anti-parasitic, and antibacterial.

It can reconstruct DNA, help you deal with stress, and enhance the body’s production of B12.

Emotional Support

Ginger can help you speak your truth by aiding in relaxing muscles to help them work correctly.

Spiritual Support

Ginger teaches us that we don’t have to react to every little thing throughout our days. Ginger can help cleanse our souls of wounds and damage without us having to do anything; just let ginger be!

Tips

You can use the same pieces of ginger throughout the day in the same cup of tea. Drinking ginger tea increases its medicinal effects by 50 percent. Consume ginger when making big life decisions. Drink ginger tea to enhance the bath’s healing power.

Parsley

This herb has all the elements of the other aromatic herbs, but it was listed on its own in Life Changing Foods because of its power to alkalize the body. The mineral salts in parsley help make it alkalizing. It can help alkalize all systems in the body rather than just one or two especially if you consume it in your daily routine.

Spiritual Support

Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper can provide pain relief from migraines, nausea, sore throats, sinus infections, heartburn, hemorrhoids, stomachaches, toothaches, and nerve/joint/muscle pain. It is high in vitamin C and beta-carotene which helps remedy viral exposure.

It also boosts circulation and increases cardio ability. It also regulates blood pressure. It can help your body create hydrochloric acid in the stomach, rebuild stomach tissue, and help with proper digestion and nutrient assimilation.

It stimulates peristaltic motion in the small intestine which helps our bodies with digestion. I looked up what Peristaltic motion was because I wasn’t sure. I found an article about it on the Cleveland Clinic website. They say the Peristaltic motion is the “wave-like movement of the muscles that line the gastrointestinal tract.” It moves the food through the digestive system.

It can destroy worms and parasites in the gut and protect against dysentery which can protect you when traveling abroad. It is a metabolic booster that aids the body in burning excess amounts of fat. It is an anti-inflammatory that also helps decrease bloating and swelling.

It can also help alleviate depression. You can make a Cayenne cream and apply it directly to the skin that may be suffering from pain from shingles, arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, or surgery. It can also help with itchy skin conditions like psoriasis.

You can also add Cayenne to food as a spice or take a supplement.

I searched up Cayenne cream on the web and there are several companies that make some!

Cloves

Cloves have been used for centuries to treat digestive and respiratory problems. They contain Vitamins A, C, K, and B-complex. They contain minerals such as manganese, iron, selenium, potassium, and magnesium. They are antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic which helps heal many things.

Digestion:

It helps with the digestive tract by alleviating indigestion, gas, constipation, bloating, nausea, and countering the effects of nerve pain. They can be used to disinfect gums, teeth, kidneys, liver, skin and bronchial tubes.

Clove Oil is a natural pain reliever and can help numb gums. It is beneficial for the circulatory system and can prevent blood clots by inhibiting platelets.

Clove Essential Oil is a decongestant that can be used as a vaporizer or aromatherapy machine to disinfect the air. It can help with sinusitis, tuberculosis, bronchitis, asthma, colds, and coughs.

You can enjoy cloves in many traditional cuisines as well as extracts, tinctures, teas, topical oil, capsules, and creams.

Breakfast Options Overview

Buzzy Bee Esther — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 00:06:28 +0000

& A bonus summary of Chapter 3 in the new Brain Saver Book!

I have many breakfast options I like to go through to have variety in my routine. I get bored eating the same thing each day. This post is just an introduction to some of the recipes I like to go through in my mornings.

The Medical Medium, Anthony William, has many free recipes on his blog. I am not sharing original recipe ideas in this series. I am showing you how I make these recipes from his blog and books by making ASMR videos and voiceovers to explain what each ingredient does for our bodies.

In this post, you will find a recipe overview of what I’ll be covering in the next few weeks.

Then, I discuss the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie which isn’t covered in this series, but I do have 4 videos in a series on my channel. I explain what is in these videos below as well as how to handle some intense reactions.

Next, I discuss how to get into routines/habits and how I like to learn new skills. I also have a small note about the MM-recommended juicer at the end.

Finally, I talk about “Our Alloy Brain” from the new Medical Medium book, “Brain Saver”. This book is so amazing! I highly recommend it!

Recipes Overview

I’ll be showing you several potato, smoothie, and oatmeal breakfast options throughout the next few weeks. Each recipe will take me about two weeks to complete.

I will start with an ASMR cooking video with captions about what each food does for us from the book “Life Changing Foods”. The following week I will do a voiceover of what all the foods do for us if you’d rather listen to me say it rather than read through the captions.

All of the recipes are overt fat-free, gluten-free, vegan/plant-based and of course, are all healing foods. This fits in with the fat-free mornings!

Check out my poem in my introduction to fat-free mornings! https://youtube.com/shorts/BGyt0i64wAo?feature=share

The recipes I will post in the next few weeks are:

Air fried potatoes with several seasoning options – (This one is actually my original recipe, only thought of after seeing how he puts things together)
Potato hash – which could also be used as a dinner
Aloe cooler smoothie
Banana mango spinach smoothie
Melon smoothies – several options
Plain fruit to go
Breakfast oatmeal cookie bars

My Series on the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie

The HMDS is a staple in my morning routine! I had it for a full year and a half each day. Continue in this section to see what the new Brain Saver Books say about heavy metals, intense reactions to this smoothie, and what my series on YouTube covers on this topic.

To give you a brief overview, the HMDS has healed my intense migraines I would get through my eye at least once a week. I could feel things moving out of the brain at first as well when I first started this morning routine. The lemon water, celery juice, HMDS routine is the perfect trio to move the needle in your healing and rid the body of heavy metals.

My Heavy Metal Detox Series on YouTube

My HMDS Series on YouTube

I have made several videos covering various ideas on the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie. Refer to the list below to see what they are about.

Playlist of the 4 Videos in the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie Series.

The first video in this series is a sit down with me explaining what heavy metals are, how they get into us, why we need to get them out and my experience with this smoothie in the morning taken from “Cleanse To Heal”.
The second video is an ASMR recipe of the heavy metal detox smoothie. I have captions of what each ingredient does for you as well. The blog outlines more details that didn’t fit on the video.
The last two videos are voice overs of the ASMR video. I had so much on the blog about the heavy metal detox that I had to make two 12 minute videos to say it all!
- The first voice over is about tips, modifications, and finding ingredients for the smoothie.
- The second voice over is all about what each I hesitant does specifically take from “Life Changing Foods.”

Intense Reactions to This Smoothie

I don’t remember if I said this in my video series listed above, but I wanted to talk about a couple of things about using the HMDS here. If you have a lot of cleansing to complete, the heavy metal detox smoothie may be intense.

You know if you have a lot of cleansing to do if you have a lot of symptoms. Having many symptoms means you have a lot of pathogens (bacteria and viruses) and toxins (metals, pesticides, chemicals, pollutants) that are causing these symptoms.

I had a lot of symptoms that I didn’t realize were not normal. So implementing the full morning routine of lemon/lime water followed by celery juice followed by the HMDS gave me some intense reactions at first.

For example, the banana in the HMDS was too harsh for me as I had really bad acid reflux. The solution was to swap the banana with mango instead. The banana wasn’t integral to removing heavy metals, but it does support the process. I do now drink bananas with the HMDS unless I want a different taste.

Additionally, when I started venturing out from this breakfast option, I also realized that I have a more intense reaction with my bowel movements when I would have the HMDS compared to a potato or oatmeal bar breakfast. If I had the HMDS instead of potatoes I would have to use the bathroom more often and it wasn’t always solid. This reaction intensifies even more if I haven’t eaten well the previous night.

To help with intense reactions, eat some potatoes for breakfast to slow down the detox a bit and then have the HMDS for lunch. I was fortunate to start my journey while still working from home. I would have had a more difficult time had I started it while working full-time at school.

A Note on Routine

Continue reading to find out about cooking and creating habits, learning to create recipes and my YouTube Journey, and a note on using the right juicer.

Cooking and Creating Habits

When I first start a new recipe it always takes me a bit of time to learn it. It usually takes me double the prep time because I overthink things and try to get every drop of sauces and mixes out of containers.

On that note, cooking has really helped me with adopting an abundance mindset! There are plenty of ingredients in the recipes and they always work out to provide a great meal. I’m always amazed at how minimal ingredients can provide so much juice or soup or salad when you throw them all together!

Creating new habits and mindsets is all about routine. If you get in the habit of making these recipes, then you get better at it as time goes on. The important thing is to just start. Every small step you take on your healing journey is a step in the right direction. They say it takes 30 days to create new habits. So try this morning routine for at least 30 days and see how it can change your life!

In the new Medical Medium Book, Brain Saver, MM mentions that the brain hacks to think differently that “they” tell us sometimes don’t work because the wiring in our brain can be off from heavy metals and things of that nature. So work on clearing those metals out!

Now, after getting into these routines, I’m able to make the food without looking at the recipes at all. I still have to look at the oatmeal cookie one, but I don’t usually make this one often. I usually stick with the smoothies in the morning.

It’s hard to get started, but once you do it becomes easier. Just get in there and do it!!

Learning the how to make the recipes and my YouTube Journey

My morning routine has also evolved through the past couple of years as well and I will be going into detail with what that looked like in some posts toward the end of this series. I started this journey in the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and that was very helpful for my learning and sticking to it because I had to stay at home for a good portion of the school year. This gave me the extra time I needed to really implement these things and learn them.

Watching people make recipes always helps me when trying new things. When I first found Medical Medium I looked up people who do his recipes on YouTube and couldn’t find any!

There are a lot of whole food/plant-based shows, vegan, and raw vegan channels on YouTube, but they don’t ever admit to following Medical Medium and some follow other doctors as well. The doctors they are quoting most likely got their info from Medical Medium and it breaks my heart that people don’t have all the real answers to their problems. Many are healing going whole food and plant-based, but I wish more knew about MM information because they could heal even more with the right tools!

There is another vegan person I follow who healed a lot of stuff by going vegan for 30 days. This reminds me of the MM cleanse in his first book, “The Medical Medium” which says to do all raw plant-based foods for 28 days to see the needle move in your health drastically.

I bet that the 30-day vegan challenge came from someone who followed MM but didn’t cite the source. So all these vegans who are doing great going plant-based, aren’t finding the healing tools that could truly heal. MM always says that everyone is fatting themselves to death including vegans with all the nut butters and protein they are adding to their meals.

Finally, there are a few raw vegan channels I follow to try and get inspired to start the 28-day raw vegan cleanse option. I know they have followed or read about MM to heal because of their stories! I don’t ever hear some of them mention it though and that breaks my heart.

YouTube is starting to have more people on there that do cite Medical Medium, but I think we need more! I decided to make these videos because I couldn’t find Medical Medium Friendly recipes on YouTube to demonstrate to me how things were done.

My channel also turned into me vlogging about my experience and sharing my story because I think it’s important for you all to understand where I’m coming from. I’ve been in your shoes of experiencing symptoms and illness and not having answers! The thing is, most of us have low viral-grade symptoms and we walk around like it’s normal!

IT’S NOT NORMAL TO FEEL ACHES AND PAINS AND BE TIRED ALL THE TIME! MM HAS THE ANSWERS TO HEAL!

MM always mentions how people need to know the source of the information so they can get all the tools and protocols they need. I am only sharing my personal experience with you. I have certain things I’m dealing with, but MM has the answers for the things you might be dealing with as we. Some things may be similar, but we are all different!

A note on the right juicer

Some of these newer influencers that also cite Medical Medium have gotten caught up in affiliate marketing and are promoting things that MM doesn’t recommend (like a different juicer). The MM 900 and 1500 by Omega Juicer is the one he recommends and it has a high yield. You save money in the long run with this juicer.

It’s the only juicer I’ve ever had, but I can tell the other juicers are not as good just by the videos these influencers post. They never show the inside of the juicer after it is done juicing and I can guarantee that it has more juice in there. MM also mentioned in a live show that people are not saving as much money on the juicers that spin too much as stuff. He also recommends the slow masticating juicer for taste as well!

Here is a link to their website: https://omegajuicers.com/pages/medical-medium?gclid=CjwKCAjwtp2bBhAGEiwAOZZTuPcYdiwRZrC9JA6UfHlBcSmneA2ni8yuTY7v_tGooTnlOvWEdCTMihoC-FIQAvD_BwE

Brain Saver Book Information on Heavy Metals

In this section, I’ll summarize several sections of Chapter 3, “Your Alloy Brain.” In the previous chapter MM explains in detail how our brains work. Electricity holds information that runs through neurons and glial cells in the brain that makes our entire body work! I think that is useful in understanding why metals are so destructive.

Chapter 3 was mind-blowing with 25 pages filled with amazing information. I will not cover everything in the chapter, and I really recommend that you get these books! They are SO good. MM has many analogies to illustrate these ideas, as well as reasons why people and doctors don’t know these things in the books as well.

“The Battle In Our Brains” pgs. 20-23

The first fact in this section I’d like to explain is that aluminum is a destructive metal even though it is not a heavy metal. The HMDS still takes aluminum out even though on the periodic table it is considered a light metal.

There are bad, dead metals that reside in our brains in today’s industrial age. Our brains were never meant to hold metals from the industrial age. Industrial metals include aluminum, mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, barium, nickel, toxic calcium, toxic copper, toxic chromium, tin, and more.

These bad metals die through the industrial process. As we dig things up and heat them up to make alloys and process them, they die. Just like when we process food it dies.

The metals in our brains are tiny particles many times smaller than nanoparticles. They find each other and create alloys and toxic runoff and wreak havoc on our whole system.

The metals can block signals, change signals, and kill neurotransmitters (which are integral in transmitting signals). This can manifest itself in many diseases and symptoms including but not limited to Tourette’s, anxiety, phobias, inability to speak, and so much more.

“Our Brains Magnetic Field” pgs. 24 & 25

MM and SOC explain that our brain’s electromagnetism pulls in trace mineral metals and electrolytes to help our brains work properly. These are the good, living metals. They also pull in the bad metals that end up in our blood due to an overburdened and toxic liver that can’t filter them all out properly.

This is why it is so important for us to try and stay fat-free in the mornings to give our livers a chance to heal and filter all the bad things.

“How Metals Find Us” pgs. 23 & 24

MM explains that these metals end up in our brains through many different avenues. We can get heavy metals in us through the things we breathe, eat, drink, bathe in, eat, drink, touch, or apply to our skin.

Fragrances, scented candles, air fresheners, pesticides, and chemtrails can leak metals into the air we breathe. Cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and much more can also get us to touch or ingest these metals as well.

I explain more about how metals get into us in my HMDS series listed below as well. He also explains more in Chapter 20 of the book! There was an extensive section about all of this in “Cleanse to Heal” as well!

“Electrical Heat,” “Melting Down,” and “The True Meaning Of Our Alloy Brain” pgs. 29-39

In this section, MM explains that our brain heats up with everything we do. Factory workers used to have to listen to music or they would burn out from doing the same repetitive movement over and over again because that network in the brain would fire and fire and essentially burn out!

Our brains run different networks to prevent this from happening, but if we have metals blocking the way or killing off some of the brain cells, then this can be difficult. The brain ends up overheating and melting these metal particles creating a corrosive gas. The solid metal will change to a gas when it melts. This gas can move around the brain and find other deposits to make larger deposits and create more problems.

Alloys are made when two metals mix and they can create many problems. They create inflammation. This inflammation is different from viral inflammation which could also exist in the brain. The alloy’s inflammation and blocking of signals can scramble our words, alter memories, alter decision-making, and alter dreams to name a few symptoms of living with an alloy brain.

“Trace Minerals: Your Brain’s Peacekeepers,” and “Rise Above The Machine” pgs. 39-45

In these last three sections, MM explains how we can fight back!

Trace minerals that are abundant in fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, and wild foods help keep the peace in the brain! They can actually get absorbed by the bad toxic metals and there trace minerals can deactivate and help get rid of them. The sodium cluster salts and complete electrolytes in celery juice are AMAZING at doing this!

We need to give our bodies fuel from these foods abundant in trace minerals and other helpful things and stay low fat so our bodies can process all the things properly. Fat inhibits nutrient absorption.

Finally, Rising Above the Machine was my favorite part. MM basically explains that if we become the experts on our own health, then we don’t have to rely on the Medical Industry (which doesn’t even know why people are sick with all these neurological and mental things). The machine is also run by the “secret” medical industry that is making us sick on purpose to fuel their pharmaceutical initiatives and control us! We can break free!

“By knowing what the critical truth is- that, for one, toxic heavy metals are saturating our brains and we can remove them to enjoy a better quality of life – we supersede the machine. We rise above the so-called authority of our well-being so that well-being is in our own hands. We rise above the machine.” p.45

Closing

If you are worried about being lost because these are books 8 & 9 in his series; please do not worry about this. He explains the basics of his information throughout the chapters so you will not be lost when reading through the information. Start with these books because the brain saver shots are AMAZING!!!

I hope this post has inspired you again to start that fat-free morning as well as get these amazing books. They are dirt cheap for what you are getting. If you were to buy these books for a college class or something like that they would be easily $100-$200. They are only $56 for both books which contain over 1,200 pages of AMAZING information! Right now Amazon has Brain Saver listed at $29.99 and Brain Saver Protocols at $26.99.

Do yourself a favor and GET THEM!!!

Much Love and God Bless:)

53 Reasons to Drink Celery Juice

Buzzy Bee Esther — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 02:21:19 +0000

First thing in the Morning on an Empty Stomach by Itself!

People always ask me, “What does celery juice do for you?” The short answer is that it kills the pathogens in our bodies to help treat our symptoms and illnesses that medicine and doctors say we just have to deal with and will never go away like cystic acne!

The long answer is in this article. I’m going to go into detail about what celery juice does for you taken from the book, “Celery Juice” by Anthony William.

In his second chapter, “Celery Juice Benefits”, AW outlines what each component of celery juice does for our bodies. The book goes into what celery juice does for specific conditions and how to juice and use it in your routine.

If you are interested in how to make it, prep it, drink it, and my experience with it please check out the links and videos in the “More information on celery juice, how to make it and Many Tips” section at the end. I also have several references for explaining what things are at the end as well.

Enjoy!

Celery Juice: The Most Powerful Medicine in Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide

In the Medical Medium book, Celery Juice; The Most Powerful Medicine in Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide, Anthony William talks about the miraculous benefits of drinking celery juice a certain way. There are 185 pages in this book and this is his smallest book.

Here are the chapters of the book as I will not be able to cover it all in this post. I encourage you to check out his book or his blog for more information.

Chapter 1: Why Celery Juice?
Chapter 2: Celery Juice Benefits
Chapter 3: Relief from Your Symptoms and Conditions
Chapter 4: How to Make Celery Juice Word for You
Chapter 5: The Celery Juice Cleanse
Chapter 6: Healing and Detox Answers
Chapter 7: Rumors, Concerns, and Myths
Chapter 8: More Healing Guidance
Chapter 9: Alternatives to Celery Juice
Chapter 10: A Healing Movement

An honest review of the book.

When I found Medical Medium I read his books in this order:

Cleanses to Heal
The Medical Medium Revised and Expanded
Life-Changing Foods
Liver Rescue
Celery Juice
Thyroid Healing
And now I have the Brain Saver books I need to get into!

MM makes the case for celery juice in all of his books. As you can imagine it is in an integral part of the healing journey no matter what you are dealing with.

The book “Celery Juice” is a repeat of a lot of this information. However, there is so much information detailing what it does and how it moves through the body specifically for various conditions you may be dealing with.

Overall, I recommend you read all his books, but if you are just starting, start with Cleanse to Heal!

Celery Juice was the hardest to get through because I read all his books from cover to cover. While there were new bits of information sprinkled throughout this book; I found that some of the information was repeated from his more complete/longer books.

Chapter 2 on what each part of the celery does in the celery juice was very comprehensive and the bulk of the reasons why we need to drink celery juice in this article! After creating this article I realized how many tips and things celery does for us!

Chapter 1 Why Celery Juice?

The origins of celery juice started when Medical Medium started recommending celery juice to friends and family to help with inflammation from an injury or acid reflux. This started all the way back in 1975.

People were astounded when he said to drink a whole head of celery at a time!

It has now made itself into the mainstream health community because it works. People see the recommendation and scoff, they don’t like the taste, etc. However, when they actually do the celery juice the way it is recommended, they notice improvements in their health! Celery Juice has survived the naysayers and evil-doers who would like to see us sick because IT WORKS!

Where is the evidence that it works? It is in the millions of healing stories around the world!

The proof is in the pudding.

Through his origin journey he describes how celery juice can:

Break people out of vicious cycles of addiction.
Heal anxiety & depression.
Helps heal pretty much any chronic illness or condition you can think of. (Chapter 3 in the book outlines the true causes of over 48 illnesses and how celery juice helps.)
The sodium cluster salts rotate around the celery atom like the planets around the solar system. They kill pathogens. MM says on his lives that if scientists were to take a pathogen on a slide and put a drop of celery juice on it, it would see the pathogen die!
The plant hormones present in celery help balance the endocrine system.
The vitamin C present is immune-boosting.

Continue reading for many more details regarding these things. MM breaks down what each part of the celery does for us in the body!

Chapter 2: Celery Juice Benefits

In this chapter, MM discusses how science and research are behind in studying celery juice. People aren’t interested in studying it because it is not scalable or profitable. The powers that be are preventing this study as well. (He mentions the nefarious forces more in his lives than in the book).

If a blood test picks up higher sodium levels in the blood, it’s not from celery juice. It most likely is from the celery dislodging the toxic sodium in your body out.

Structure of the celery and sodium:

The sodium is suspended in living water within the celery. The sodium cluster salts are tightly connected to this living water. These clusters consist of many types of salts in and around each other. They can combine into one and separate as they move around. MM says they are structured like the solar system and move around a center like planets move around the sun!

The benefits listed in this chapter are organized by each of the 9 components found in celery juice. They are sodium cluster salts, cofactor micro and trace minerals, electrolytes, plant hormones, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, vitamin C, prebiotic factor and hydrobioactive water.

8 Things Sodium Cluster Salts Do in Celery Juice (pgs. 13-15)

Sodium Cluster Salts breaks down and removes crystallized toxic salts that stay in organs for years. These toxic salts come from things like table salt.
The sodium in celery juice is macro sodium which is commonly found in plants. It helps balance and is beneficial to the body. Celery will not spike sodium blood levels.
Sodium Cluster salts are the ultimate neurotransmitter chemical. They serve as a critical component to the neurotransmitter and offer electrolytes. This is the most powerful electrolyte drink on the planet. Electrolytes help regulate chemical processes in the body. The article linked below from Cleveland Clinic tells details about what these electrolytes do for the body and what makes them up.
Trace minerals are present in and around the sodium cluster salts. The sodium cluster salts are a separate compound that rotate around the main sodium element present in celery. They rotate like the planets do around the sun of the solar system.
Sodium cluster salts contain information that is activated when it enters our body. The information is for our own well-being rather than it’s own well-being. It comes from the plant itself and the sun as it was growing. The information includes information about it’s purpose and how it can help extend the lives of the creature consuming it!
Help disarm and neutralize toxins that are floating throughout the bloodstream and organs. As the sodium cluster salts touch these toxins, they disarm them and make them more friendly in the body so they don’t harm our cells and tissues!
These salts also disarm toxic heavy metals such as copper, mercury and aluminum. As soon as the cluster touches these metals, it discharges the metal and makes them inactive. Heavy metals can cause so many problems for us. I review more of this in my Heavy Metal Detox Morning series).
The sodium cluster salts will kill pathogens (viruses, bacteria, and fungi). They even kill antibiotic-resistant strep. The cluster salts continue to work even after being absorbed into the bloodstream.

5 Things Cofactor Micro Trace Minerals Do in Celery Juice (pgs. 15,16)

The mineral salts rejuvenate the liver overall and go into the bile in the liver to make it stronger. This helps the liver produce more bile. These trace minerals are also called “cofactor micro trace minerals”.
The cofactor micro trace minerals are very helpful for digestion because they help restore one dimension of the 7 parts of hydrochloric acid in our stomachs. The trace minerals enter and feed stomach gland cells which provide it what it needs to produce the 7 acid blend the stomach needs to effectively kill unproductive bugs in the duodenum, stomach, and further down the intestinal tract.
The micro trace minerals also provide many parts of the body with things they need to strengthen their immune system.
Trace minerals help the liver’s immune system by giving it strength to create more white blood cells that attack the bad bugs!
Trace minerals also help the liver create a chemical weapon that harms unproductive bugs like strep. It puts us on the offense rather than defense!

3 Things Electrolytes Do in Celery Juice (pgs. 16-17)

Electrolytes help with many functions of the body including but not limited to; allow electricity flow, pass along information from cell to cell, help cells respirate, help cells detox.

Celery juice contains the most complete form of living electrolytes in the sodium cluster salts.
It restores neurotransmitter chemicals that help neurotransmitters become alive again if they were dehydrated, dysfunctional, or no longer working. “A neurotransmitter is like an empty beehive. Neurotransmitter chemicals are like the bees that bring life to the hive.” I looked up the difference between a neuron and a neurotransmitter online and differencebetween.com explained that neurons are brain cells and they are not physically connected, but they rely on neurotransmitters to connect a signal and talk and basically make the whole body work. So rejuvenating these chemical functions is essential to brain health!
When the electrolyte in celery lands on a neurotransmitter it’s like the missing piece to a circuit and brings everything online! They are complete neurotransmitter chemicals that have this ability!

6 Things Plant Hormones Do in Celery Juice (pgs. 17-18)

Celery contains many types of plant hormones. Some types are soley to help the plant grow, but others are medicinal to whoever ingests it.
One of these undiscovered plant hormones feeds and replenishes all the glands of the endocrine system. The glands of the endocrine system include but aren’t limited to the pancreas, thyroid, adrenals, hypothalamus, pituitary gland and pineal gland. The John Hopkins website explains that the endocrine system is a series of glands and organs that make hormones that regulate metabolism, energy levels, reproduction, response to injury, energy, and mood.
The plant hormone provides balance to the body by providing support to the endocrine system. If a gland is over or under-active it will be balanced with the celery plant hormones.
This plant hormone helps strengthen and stabilize the endocrine glands when they enter the glands which helps with all the neurological symptoms someone may experience.
Another plant hormone in celery juice helps strengthen the reproductive system in both men and women.
This hormone balances and stimulants the reproductive system in general.
Celery is an herbal medicine. We usually need to be careful about how much herbal medicine we intake, but with celery, we can have a lot of it at once and it is beneficial. (this is in the next chapter) You need at least 16 oz on an empty stomach. Try to work your way up to 32oz. On the advanced cleanse you can have two 32oz. of celery juice a day.

11 Things Digestive Enzymes Do in Celery Juice (pgs. 18-19)

There are three varieties of digestive enzymes in celery juice that are undiscovered by science and research that help the small intestine the most.
There are over 2 dozen varieties of enzymes present in celery juice that contribute to the breakdown of waste matter inside the intestinal tract.
Digestive enzymes in celery are activated by pH change when the enter the small intestine. One small digestive enzyme in celery can ignite many other weakened digestive enzymes that come from food, the pancreas, and the liver. The digestive enzymes that end up in the small intestine come from the liver bile.
Celery juice enzymes help revive digestive enzymes so they can do their job of dispersal of fats and digestion of food.
Celery juice restimulates enzymes from food that have found their home in the small intestine.
Celery juice enzymes help strengthen the liver which helps it produce bile-related digestive enzymes.
It helps strengthen the pancreas.
It helps ignite pancreatic enzymes.
Celery juice enzymes help breakdown and assimilation of nutrients in digestion process that neither bile nor hydrochloric acid can do.
These enzymes are partially responsible for reduction of unproductive acid. They reduce and balance the acid.
They also break down and dissolve mucus inside the intestinal tract which pushes it out of the intestinal tract. Once this mucus is gone, it makes way for celery’s sodium cluster salts to attack viruses and bacteria in the intestinal tract.

2 Things Antioxidants Do in Celery Juice (pgs. 19-20)

Antioxidants in celery juice remove fatty deposits around toxic heavy metal deposits in the body.
Antioxidants in celery also coat heavy metals to discourage oxidation. This allows the sodium cluster salts to move in and neutralize the heavy metal to make it less aggressive.

The fatty deposits around heavy metals are terrible because when they get stuck to heavy metals like suction cups, they oxidize the charged heavy metals. This leads to corrosion and toxic runoff that affects nearby tissues. The fat also absorbs this toxic runoff and becomes food for pathogens. If viruses get into the brain they cause many neurological symptoms including Parkinson’s, ADHD, and MUCH more.

4 Things Vitamin C Does in Celery Juice (pgs. 20-21)

Celery’s vitamin C doesn’t require the liver to process it with methylation for the body to use it. The Vitamin C in celery is readily available to be used right away because it is in a pre-methylated form. It is already broken down!
1. AW explains what methylation is in his blog about methylation gene mutation. “Methylation has to do with the conversion and break down of important chemicals, chemical compounds, and phytochemicals that are drawn from sources such as the food we eat, the clean water we drink, and the sunshine we absorb. Breaking down chemicals into smaller and smaller chemicals is a very extensive process.” In the book, he explains that the liver does a lot of this methylation and on the blog, he describes how the small intestine also does this.
2. AW also explains in the blog that we can support the methylation processes by eating elevated biotics. These are the organisms that live on fresh produce. He recommends eating organic food from your garden, counter, or farmers market to get these biotics. Conventional fruit and veggies lose these biotics in the washing process. A quick rinse of the garden produce is good if you know they didn’t use pesticides and things of that nature.
Vitamin C and Celery’s cluster salts have a special relationship. The salts can hitch a ride with the vitamin C and they travel to wherever the immune system says they are needed. They can both work their magic from there!
Celery juice is so powerful because it immediately improves the immune system of the chronically ill. Many people have overburdened and sluggish livers from a build-up of viruses, bacteria, viral waste, bacterial waste, and fats. The vitamin C in most fruits and vegetables cannot be processed to be able to use properly. As the celery juice vitamin C is already broken down and doesn’t need the liver to process it offers powerful relief to the chronically (or not so chronically) ill.
The vitamin C in celery also binds to viral waste matter in the bloodstream and escorts it out of the body through the kidneys.

4 Things the Prebiotic Factor Does in Celery Juice (pg. 22)

The prebiotic factor in many fruits and vegetables starves unproductive bacteria which allows good bacteria to thrive because the prebiotic provides food for the good bacteria.
1. Food insight.com explains that prebiotics is the food for probiotics. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria!
Celery brings this factor to the next level by not only starving the unproductive bacteria, it also breaks them down and destroys them.
Celery juice also breaks up pockets of food that bad bacteria eat in the intestinal tract. Dehydrated fats and rancid proteins are blasted apart as the celery juice’s sodium cluster salts come through.
The sodium cluster salts also surround any bad bacteria left which draws out the poisons from the bacteria after they are destroyed. This cluster of deactivated and broken-down bacteria surrounded by salts is not food for the good bacteria!

3 Things Hydrobioactive Water Does in Celery Juice (pgs. 22-23)

Hydrobioactive water is living water filled with the life of the herb. This water contains information about the life, energy, and nutrients of the celery. Celery transforms regular water into this hydrobioative water to activate it.
1. Regular water and this hydrobioactive water do not compare and it is important to have celery with no added water (including ice cubes). It is also important not to dehydrate the celery and just add water to activate it because it’s not the same. Regular water deactivates the hydrobioactive water in celery.
Living water suspends life-giving nutrients like everything mentioned above in a way that allows these nutrients to be delivered to the body efficiently.
MM akins celery water to our blood. Blood is our life force just as celery water is celery’s life force. When the life force in celery juice mixes with our life force it goes beyond living water and IS LIFE!

Acronym …

…to try and remember all the parts for when someone asks you about what celery does!

After I made this article I still had a hard time thinking of a simple answer to tell people about what celery juice does for you. It is hard to remember all the things celery does because it is SO MUCH.

Here is an acronym to try and help you remember all the parts of the celery which in turn can help you remember what each part does!

heaps md hvC

A heap is a pile of something so you need a heap of celery INSTEAD of an MD (medical doctor) for our HVC (Highly Valued Customers). I don’t know. Let me know if you come up with a better one! Or maybe instead of HVC it can just be high C because it has high Vitamin C!

Hydrobioactive Water
Electrolytes
Antioxidants
Prebiotic factor
Sodium Cluster Salts
Minerals (cofactor and trace)
Digestive Enzymes
Plant hormones
Vitamin C
