Spring time cleansing (part 1)

This is Nut Tree Adventurer Reporting to you about Spring Cleaning.....
We always clean the house so why not the body, mind and soul!


Although the weather is not spring like the body feels it a good time to cleanse.

Their are many cleanses that have been used over time, most people can't afford the time and effort put in to a comprehensive detox where you might fly to Thailand for a 10 day detox. Some authors recommend colemas, others colonics. You can choose, water fasts, juice fasting, vegetables only the list is endless. Today I will talk about a very well known detox system called "The Master Cleanser" by Stanley Burroughs.

"For the novice and the advanced student alike, cleansing is basic for the elimination of every kind of disease. The purpose is to simplify the cause and the correction of all disorders, regardless of the name or names."
"The lemonade diet, about the be described, has successfully and consistently demonstrated it's eliminative and building ability.
Lemons and limes are the richest source of minerals and viatmins of any food or foods known to man, and they are available the year round."


Purpose

"To disolve and eliminate toxins and congestion that have formed in any part of the body.
To cleanse the kidneys and the digestive system.
To purify the glands and cells throughout the entire body
To eliminate all unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles.
To relieve pressure and irritation of the nerves, arteries, and blood vessels.
To build a healthy blood stream.
To keep youth and elasticity regardless of our years.

How Often

"Follow the diet for a minimum of 10 days or more- up to 40 days and beyond may be safely followed for extremely serious cases. The diet has all the nutrition needed during this time."

How to make it

2Tbsp lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2Tbsp genuine maple syrup (not maple flavored sugar syrup)preferably organic
1/10th Tsp cayenne pepper (red Pepper) or to taste
Water, medium hot (spring or purified water)

Prepare all ingredients then add 10oz of warm or spring water.

You will be taking this mixture up to 6 times a day and more if required.

Just let this information simmer for awhile and if you have questions you can drop me a line.......part two will follow.

why calcium is important in your diet

Hey, this is the Nuttreecion Adventurer reporting to you on Calcium.

This is the number one topic on many women's minds these days... must be the age group I hang around with.
Their are many studies and articles that address calcium and how the body uses it. One obvious statistic that sticks in my mind is the level of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia that exists in North America. Health Canada states that 1 in 4 adults have Osteoporosis. In fact I think North Americans are the highest consumers of calcium products and yet we have the highest percentage of people who have low bone density. Wonder if these two statistics are related?

One of my favorite authors Brian Clement, (PHD in Nutrition) says this "osteoporosis is not a disease of calcium deficiency. It is a disease of excess protein. Animal and dairy products are full of sulfur-rich proteins. Sulfur makes extra acid in the body; as acids wash through the bones, they dissolve calcium, which is then eliminated through the urine. This only happens with animal protein and it has a name: protein-induced hypercalciuria, which simply means too much calcium going out in the urine. Dr's Lindsay Oddoye, and Margen in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition are true: High protein diets cause a negative calcium balance, even in the presence of more than adequate dietary calcium. Osteoporosis would seem to be an inevitable outcome of continued consumption of a high protein diet. Even calcium tablets and daily doses of milk can not keep up with the calcium lost to the excess protein".
Another little pearl from Brian is that one teaspoon of sea kelp mixed in a glass of water gives approximately a thousand times more calcium (without animal protein) than an eight-ounce cup of milk.

Most women I know take calcium supplements and believe they can elevate their calcium this way but if you understand the above quote it's impossible to supplement if you are eating excess protein.
I read and won't be able to support this in this blog but we absorb only about 8% of the supplements we take, I won't go into it now (that's a whole other subject) but their are many reasons.
The other amazing fact about calcium is that it's huge.. I mean Gabriel Cousins (another cool dude)says this about minerals "For a mineral to be utilized at the intracellular level, it must be Angstrom-size (that is,so infinitesimal it is measured in units of angstroms), and these particles must be completely water-soluble. Only the ionic form, on angstrom-size level, of minerals can enter the cells and activate the proper DNA structures to actuate the guiding frequencies for the function of the body. An angstrom (named after Johan Angstrom) is one-thousandth of a micron, and one-millionth of a meter. The significance of this information is that almost all the mineral supplements on the market are larger than micron sizes. Particles that are micron in size and larger will be absorbed by the blood, but they are too large to be absorbed intracellular and inside the nucleus. These larger forms stay in the bloodstream, and eventually become deposited in various tissue locations"
I guess you have figured out what locations Gabriel is taking about!!!!
Here is a little hint.....calcium deposits itself everywhere, you can find it in gallstones, prostate cancer, osteosarcomas (bone tumor) it can deposit as plaque in the heart or in your arteries, (even an aortic aneurysm) well you can see where I'm going with this and I won't go on cause it's a huge topic.
I will leave you with this information and hope it generates some questions.

Remember I am totally new at blogging so if you see anything that be improved....
PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
