[AlternativeAnswers] The Power of Green Wholefoods

Good Morning!

The Power of Green Wholefoods

Herbs have been apart of humanity since the dawn of time in the form of food and is viewed as medicine. One-fourth of allopathic medicines are still derived from plants or are synthetic copies of substances originally identified in nature. After centuries of use, herbs continue to play a vital role in promoting health in modern times.

The power of Green Whole Foods is essential for all day energy, greater focus under stress, sense of well-being, strengthened immune system, fewer food cravings and optimum synergistic balance of essential nutrients for total health. Green whole foods are usually a powder that contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, active enzymes, bioflavinoids, chlorophyll and other phytonutrients necessary for optimal cellular metabolism, repair and protection! These ingredients contain the most powerful combination of nutrients ever known in any grain, herb or food. They contain almost all of the vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes necessary for the human diet, plus chlorophyll.

There are many green whole foods on the market today. They are all geared toward increasing your fiber and chlorophyll intake. Additionally, there are several products that are specific to increasing metabolic energy, cleansing and/or detoxing with the addition of certain herbs for specific outcomes. Here is a list of some of the most popular and beneficial ingredients in the majority of these products:

Spirulina Blue Green Algae: Spirulina possesses a complete protein richer than steak, abundant organically complex minerals, a wide variety of essential vitamins, and many beneficial enzymes. Spirulina is more than just a food. As with Chlorella it has been shown to be valuable with almost every aspect of health. These necessities are bio-available which means that they are easily assimilated throughout the digestive tract, giving instant access to vital nutrients.Because of algae's high chlorophyll and high nutritional content it is an excellent part of a cleansing program.

Chlorella Green Algae: Chlorella's tough cell wall protects the valuable nucleus inside. When it is harvested it is instantly dried and the cell walls are gently cracked open. The nutrients inside retain full potency. Once in your body, the cracked open cells release their valuable nutrients. Because it is so easy to digest, your cells get the full benefit of this nutritional powerhouse. These necessities are bio-available which means that they are easily assimilated throughout the digestive tract, giving instant access to vital nutrients. The algae provides intestinal nourishment and has a soothing and healing effect on the mucous lining. It works to detoxify and purify our system.

Barley Grass and Wheat Grass: Eating barley and wheat grass is like eating a plate of green vegetables. These cereal grasses, are harvested young and are ecologically grown in nutrient rich soil. They are approximately 25% protein and contains all the essential amino acids, concentrated vitamins, minerals and fiber. They have been shown to increase our overall health by reducing intestinal putrefaction and maintaining healthy blood another important component of cleansing.

Klamath Lake Blue Green Algae: This remarkable plant grows 100% organically in the Upper Klamath Lake of Oregon. Blue Green Algae has more protein and chlorophyll by weight than any other plant or animal on earth. Klamath Lake algae is considered to be the most nutrient rich of the algaes.

Psyllium Husks: A natural plant source of dietary fiber essential for the proper functioning of the digestive system. Fiber significantly lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels.

Lecithin: Lecithin is produced naturally and is one of the main substances that digests cholesterol in the human body. Lecithin supports the liver and aids in the metabolism of fat. Lecithin is used to strengthen the heart as it clears the blood vessels of cholesterol. It also useful as part of a weight loss programs to help dissolve fat.

Buckthorn Bark: Acts on the liver, gallbladder, blood and intestines. Has a stimulating effect on the bile and conditions of the, liver, gallbladder and lower bowels; does not gripe and keeps the bowels regular without irritation.

Burdock: Supports the blood, kidneys and liver. A natural blood purifier which eliminates uric acid and excess waste material. Burdock is quite effective in treating dry and scaly skin disorders such as psoriasis, dandruff and eczema, also helps break sown calcification in joints.

Cascara Sagrada: Supports the colon, stomach, liver gallbladder and pancreas and is considered one of the very best and safest laxatives in the kingdom. Has an antibiotic effect on harmful bacteria in the intestine. Promotes peristalsis and tones relaxed digestive system muscles.

Dandelion: Acts to stimulate the liver and kidneys while absorbing toxins and soothing the digestive tract. It is an excellent blood purifier and helps to build up the blood. It has a mild laxative effect. This root is also higher in beta carotene than what is found in carrots.

Red Clover: A natural blood cleanser which is high in minerals and strengthening to the body. It is also soothing to the nerves and used for skin problems.

Milk Thistle Seed: Containing silybum marianum which has proven its ability to protect and rebuild the liver. The liver is a key organ in cleansing because it is involved in detoxifying the body and the digestion of fat.

Acidophilus: The normal, healthy colon contains "friendly" bacteria (85% lactobacillus and 15% coliform bacteria). It is the friendly bacterial flora found in yogurt and is essential to the digestive system. When these bacteria are not in balance, then the person may experience bloating, flatulence, constipation, and malabsorption of nutrients. Acidophilus taken as a dietary supplement may help to detoxify and to rebuild a balanced intestinal flora. It is used for the prevention of Candida as well as for treatment. Acidophilus aids the digestion and helps to replace the "friendly" intestinal flora.

[AlternativeAnswers] Benjamin Bibb -amazing secrets of psychic healing

I have recently obtained a copy of this amazing book, now out of print,
AMAZING SECRETS OF PSYCHIC HEALING by Benjamin Bibb.

I am wondering if there is a group of people who are around and who
discuss Benjamin Bibb's teachings. Some friends of mine
and I think would be great to be involved in. I am in the New York City area,
and I believe Benjamin Bibb gave some of his lectures and healings in Texas.

Would love to be in contact with some people who knew of Benjamin Bibb
and maybe have some ideas on how we could come together on the
wonderful methods for healing shown by Benjamin Bibb.

Please contact me at my email address below. I am looking
forward to hearing from you.

[AlternativeAnswers] Recipe: How To Make Real Soap

Soap is easy to make once you get the hang of it, and as long as you
keep in mind that being CARELESS with LYE CAN KILL ! Lye can burn
skin away, it can blind you, it can kill you if ingested! It would be
best to make sure no children would be in the house until the soap is
ready to put up in a safe place to cure. Just pay attention, be
careful, and everybody will be fine. Everybody will be better than
ever, what with real, natural soap used on their skin.

Please read and understand these cautions before ever opening a lye
container.

To make soap, you need fat, lye, and water. And a non-aluminum
container to let it harden in (lye dissolves aluminum). Soap molds
can be really fun to find :-) Anything that's not aluminum, and is
flexible enough to pop out the hardened soap, will work. Jello molds
are good, as well as plastic containers of just about any kind. You
can also buy fancy soap molds at craft stores. Candy molds, yogurt
tubs, etc., etc.

You can make soap out of just about any vegetable or animal fat.
Plain olive oil soap is excellent for the skin, though some people
will complain that it's "slimy". And it melts faster in water than
other soaps, so make sure you keep it out of standing water. Use
olive oil from the grocery store -- extra virgin olive oil makes a
darker green color soap, and may have more benefits for the skin.
You'll probably see mention of "pomace" olive oil; that is the last
dregs they could possibly squeeze out of the olives, extracted with
so many chemicals it's not even food-safe. I would not recommend even
trying to find any pomace....

Lye can be a real problem to find. Do not use Red Devil lye! -- it
now has metal flakes in it. Around here, the ACE Hardware has Rooto
brand that is still 100% lye. You should probably call the
manufacturer of any lye products to see if it actually is 100% lye
with no additives. Or you might be lucky enough to live near a
soapmaking shop.

It would be better to at least have a kitchen scale, for measuring.
You *can* make soap by volume measure, but I'll assume everybody has
a little scale.

A stick blender would be very helpful, especially with olive oil
soaps, which take longer to "trace". Make sure it doesn't have any
aluminum parts where it will be touching the soap.

Goggles to protect the eyes from lye splashes would be a good idea.
If you do get any lye water on skin / eyes / anywhere, immediately
wash it off with cool tap water (it takes at least a few seconds to
start feeling a tingle on the skin). Some sources will tell you to
pour vinegar on it -- bad idea!! That would make a very hot chemical
reaction! If any lye crystals fall on floor / other surfaces,
immediately pick them up and drop them down the drain. Curious pets
or children might pick them up, and you don't want to find out how
much lye it takes to poison someone!

I use an old brown plastic pitcher, on which I drew a big skull-and-
crossbones and "LYE" and all that, to mix lye water. Make absolutely
sure that no one is going to mistake it for a drink!

One major thing to remember is to always slowly pour (and stir) the
lye crystals into the water, not the other way 'round. There is a
very popular soapmaking book that somehow got out of the publishing
house with these exactly wrong instructions. If you pour water onto
lye crystals, you will get a very caustic explosion!

ingredients:

16 ounces BY WEIGHT (1 pound) olive oil (your choice of variety)

2 ounces BY WEIGHT of lye crystals (NOT Red Devil; make sure it's
100% lye with no additives!)

about 5 FLUID OUNCES of cool water (filtered would probably be better)

Put the water in non-aluminum container, for mixing the lye water.
Lye water will get pretty hot, so don't use just any old thin plastic
thing.

Put lye container and measuring utensils in the sink, to catch any
stray lye crystals. Carefully open lye bottle, pour or dip it out
with a dry spoon.

In the sink, slowly pour lye crystals into the water, and stir --
with plastic, stainless steel, silicone, or wooden spoon until they
dissolve. It will get quite hot. Let it cool in a safe place.
(setting it in a pan of cold water will cool it more quickly)

Put the olive oil in a non-aluminum bowl or pan that has plenty of
room for the soap to expand (lye will eventually etch enameled pans
and such, and eventually eat up wooden spoons). When the lye water is
cooled to room temperature, or at least 'til it's not too hot to
touch, carefully stir the lye water into the olive oil. It will turn
cloudy. And it will start smelling sooooo good! I love soap!

If you have a stick blender, pulse it in the raw soap mixture for a
little while. Or, you can just occasionally stir it. Leave it long
enough, and you'll see a thick layer forming on the bottom. Just stir
it all up, keep stirring / blending until when you drop a trail of
the liquid across the surface, it stays there. Make sure it's not a
flat oil-spot; it needs to stick up above the surface. This is called
"trace".

Once you're sure it's actually "traced", pour the raw soap into
whatever non-aluminum mold/s you want to use. You can always cut it
up later, into bars. Or carve it :-) Carefully -- it is still liquid;
it will spill! -- put it in a safe place where no pets or children
can reach. Insulate it with towels or something, to hold the heat in,
for maybe a day or two. When it hardens enough to firmly hold its
shape, you can pop it out of the mold, and put it back in a safe
place to finish curing. If it doesn't pop out, put it in the freezer
until it will pop out.

Any bowls / pans / spoons / stick blender / anything that has had lye
or raw soap in it, put it in the sink, in water. Let them soak, or
wash them off with soap (or "soap" detergent), rinse thoroughly, wash
again. One thing to understand here is that lye will eventually
neutralize, just left out in the air. That's another reason you want
to keep it in air-tight containers. But go ahead and get all traces
of lye washed off your stuff.

Different people say different things about how long this "cold-
process" soap needs to cure. If you leave it for a couple of weeks,
it will most likely be completely cured -- all the lye will have
reacted with the oil, so that you have no free lye left in the soap.
What I and many others do is stand by the sink, and touch the tip of
the tongue to the outside of the soap. If it zaps you like a 9-volt
battery, there is still free lye present. Rinse your tongue in
running water immediately. If it just tastes sweet and soapy, you're
good to go.

"Hot-process" soap: If you want to be able to use it immediately,
just heat up the raw soap to make the saponification happen faster.
You'll need to add a little more water, because the heat will drive
some of the water out. One way to do this is to put your pan of raw
soap in a bigger pan with water in it -- a "double boiler". Gently
heat, stirring constantly. The soap will go through several distinct
stages. Do not leave it unattended with active heat under it! It will
jump out of the pot! When it sort of looks like vaseline, it's done.
But get a dollop on a spoon, let it cool, touch your tongue to it,
and if it doesn't zap you as above, it is done. Then you can glop it
into molds, or even just in a pile. There is no "pour"-ing of hot
process soap... It gets thick.

Wow, this really turned into a long saga... Hope I didn't skip
anything. Any questions, ask away. There is also lots of info online,
and there are several fine email lists dealing with soap-making. And
feel free to share this with anyone. Let's put the petroleum-
detergent-bar people out of business! ;+)

Joy

[AlternativeAnswers] Recipe: Aromatherapy Anxiety Bath

Good Morning!

Recipe: Aromatherapy Anxiety Bath

We all have fears and worries but when they begin to dominate our life and our
behavior, and become the focal point in which everything revolves, that's
anxiety. Many factors can contribute; trauma, chemical sensitivity, caffeine,
heredity, drugs, alcohol, lifestyle choices....If you cannot change the
situation that is the focus of anxiety, try to determine a way of trying to
change your way of handling the problem. Relaxation of the mind and body and
stress reduction are key.

Anxiety is often vague and undirected, a sinking feeling that something terrible
is about to happen. Unlike concrete fears (of illness or losing a job, for
example), anxiety often stems from what used to be called borrowed trouble.
Anxious people imagine worst-case scenarios and spend lots of time dreading
things that may never happen. For persistent anxiety, seek professional
counseling. But the natural remedies can help tremendously.

Anxiety disorders are possibly the most common and frequently occurring
disorders of the mind/body. They include a group of conditions that share
extreme anxiety as the principal disturbance of mood or emotional tone. Anxiety,
which may be understood as the pathological counterpart of normal fear, is
manifest by disturbances of mood, as well as of thinking, behavior and
physiological activity. Included in this category are panic disorder (with or
without a history of agoraphobia), agoraphobia (with or without a history of
panic disorder), generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobia, social phobia,
obsessive-compulsive disorders, acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress
disorder .

Anxiety disorders are ubiquitous across human cultures. The longitudinal course
of these disorders is characterized by relatively early ages of onset,
chronicity, relapsing or recurrent illness and periods of disability. Panic
disorder and agoraphobia are particularly associated with suicidal tendencies.

Aromatherapy can relax you and give you strength in order to handle your
emotional stamina. Combined with hydrotherapy, the mysterious and amazing
healing power of water has been utilized for centuries. Water cleanses,
refreshes and restores all life. We are always drawn to water. Be it a soothing
fountain or majestic waterfall. Water is a carrier. It flows. It moves along the
line of least resistance to find its way to the ocean where comes and goes in
the ebb and flow of tides and waves. The appeal is inexplicable!

Try this Anti-Anxiety Bath

If life is giving you too much stress, a relaxing bath with
the proper essential oils can give you a moment of peace
and a much-needed new perspective. Try the following bath
on a day when you're feeling stressed, and don't forget to
light a candle and lock the door for complete peace and
privacy. You will need:

1 cup of Epsom salts

Oil of Sandalwood

Oil of Patchouli

Oil of Ylang-Ylang

A bath pillow (optional)

Add the Epsom salts to your running bath, and mix with your
hands until dissolved. Then add a few drops of each of the
oils and mix well. Lay back and relax for at least 15
minutes (with a bath pillow under your head if you have
one). Don't fall asleep! Just relax and meditate on feeling
peaceful and calm. After 15 minutes, wash yourself with a
soft, natural soap (such as a rose and glycerin soap) and a
soft wash cloth. Gently pat off with a towel when your bath is
done.

Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Re: itching! / real soap

Joy,
I would be interested in your recipe, too. I've been making cold process soap,
but you have to wait 6 wks to cure before you use it. Hot process and castile
you don't have to wait. there are a couple websites that can do the
calculations and explains the different properties of the oils, whether they're
sudsing, moisturizing, hardness, conditioning, etc. Try www.soapcalc.net and
you'll be able to change your recipe depending on what oils you have on hand.
I'll be taking the hot process class soon, tho. Hope this makes some sense and
is helpful.
Sandy

What will you do today that is extraordinary? Plan it. Think it through. And do
it. All the angels in heaven are waiting. And even if you 'fail', it will have
been an extraordinary effort. That qualifies as extraordinary.

Hi David,

I drink water with baking soda in it a few times during the day to keep the ph balance in check. I use nothing but Sea Salt so I feel good with that. My hair is in good shape, it's just the fingernails.

Water without Flouride is a problem as it's in our City Water, however I do have a special faucet with a filter on that, so it's as close to pure as I can get.

Thanks for your input here. I appreciate your information.

[AlternativeAnswers] Re: Fingernails

Hi Diane,
I am taking most of the supplements you have suggested here, so it must be related to the stress as I did up my B-complex during that time and have continued with that. I did know about the Vitamin E oil and have neglected that. I am eating some of the mention fruits, vegetables and use extra virgin coconut oil and olive oil.

In place of the nuts, I'm drinking Silk Almond unsweetened. I can't find any unsweetened spirulina so I don't take that, didn't know about Oatstraw and Horsetail. Have always used Kirk's natural soap w/Coconut oil or coco butter and a natural lavender hand lotion. I take Krill oil which includes ubiquinol, so no need for the flax seed and I get more than enough Omega 6 & 9. I guess I just need more time for them to recoup!

Thank you so much for all the information you provided, I really appreciate it.
Hugs,
Buffy

Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Fingernails

A good quality Vitamin for nails are B-complex, C-complex, A, E (alpha
tocopherol), D, calcium, zinc, iodine, biotin and iron. Magnesium helps
assimilation of vitamin C, B vitamins and protein. A good brand Multi-vitamin
will help. When our nails are not receiving enough of these vitamins, or when
our body cannot absorb them properly due to illness, stress or other
factors, they will begin to become brittle, dry, weak and dull. Apply and
massage Vitamin E oil on nails.

Specific Fruits and Vegetables for Nail Care - the include fruits and
vegetables - Avocado, apples, grapes, asparagus, cucumbers, garlic, green leafy
vegetables, celery, onions and sweet potatoes. Include nuts and seeds.
Oils organic virgin Coconut oil, cold pressed Flaxseed Oil and Olive Oil. Take
supergreen food Spirulina it has many vitamins and minerals.
Spirulina Nutrition Facts: Complete protein source, Vitamins Beta carotene,
B1, B2, B6, B12, E, and K. Minerals contains a full spectrum of minerals
and is especially rich in Iron and Magensium. It contains around 2,000
enzymes, rich in chlorophyll, essential fatty acids. Spirulina offers the second
highest concentration, of the omega 6 fatty acid GLA (gamma linolenic
acid). GLA acts as an anti-inflammatory substance and has been shown to help
produce healthy skin and hair.

Horsetail and Oatstraw are both herbs that contain silica. Silica
strengthens your nails to help prevent breaks.

Do not place your hands in harsh drying chemicals. Use a natural soap and

Hello,

Could someone please advise me on what is lacking in my diet? About 4
months ago, a family member was seriously ill, my hands were in and out of
water all day long, making sure everything was clean and sanitized. Also,
using vinegar, water, peroxide and EO's. Now my nails are growing slowly,
then need filing, then break.

I don't know if the above information has anything to do with my nail
problem, just mention it as that is when this started. Nails were strong and
of nice length before.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hugs,
Buffy
