Autumn - time for a change

Greetings everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and were able to relax and get outdoors.

I recently got back from vacation in my hometown of beautiful Vancouver, and Kelowna, British Columbia, and it amazed me how much relaxation played a role in my well being and digestion, and thus (my favorite subject, next to food!) elimination! Whoo hooo!

I have thought a lot in the past few months the role stress plays in our bodies – not just mental stress, but also physiological and nutritional stress. What we put into our bodies has a direct impact on our well-being. This is why the role of cleansing and colon hydrotherapys (colonics) is so essential in this day and age - colonics reduce the effects of stress on our bodies and therefore our overall state.

Many of you who know me know my passion for good food. While I choose to eat a plant-based diet, I also know one can thrive on a diet containing animal protein as well. Overall I think dairy is detrimental to our health, however, if I had a goat or sheep in my backyard, eating organic greens, who is to say I wouldn’t partake in it’s milk or make yogurt and cheeses?

But I digress. Back to one of my favorite subjects – food. As I was saying, I choose to eat a plant based diet and as a result, have come up with many creative and simple ways to eat vegetable and fruits.

I truly believe that the key to making food taste great is to use the best ingredients: great salt – like Sunfire Salt (the pink salt many of you know and love), great oils, quality nuts and seeds, fresh herbs and organic and/or locally grown produce (as much as possible). It also leaves less of a residue in our bodies and thus in our colons. And none of us like the feeling of a bloated, congested colon, right? Ugh. It can feel miserable. Looks like the fellow below could use some colonics!

Below are a couple of recipes created by me to get you inspired in your kitchen. Play around with the ingredients and enjoy whatever you create!

Tahini Dressing (great on salads, steamed veggies or cooked whole grains, or as a dip)

½ cup raw tahini

1 heaping Tablespoon (or more) South River Miso Sweet White Miso

juice of ½ lemon, or more if a more lemony flavor is desired

pinch of Sunfire Salt

½ T Nama Shoyu or Coconut Amino’s (optional)

water, enough to blend

Blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Optional additional ingredients, choose one or more:

herbs (parsley, dill, basil or cilantro could be nice)

ginger

garlic or scallions

paprika

chili’s

cumin

You get the idea!

Mushroom Burgers

2 Portabello Mushrooms

1 medium zucchini

small chunk ginger (optional)

¼ cup sage and rosemary (fresh)

pinch or two of salt

½ T nama shoyu or tamari (optional)

½ to 1 tsp umeboshi plum paste (remember this is salty)

dash of olive oil

1 -2 T each of:

raw sunflower seeds

raw pumpkin seeds

raw hemp seeds

Process the mushrooms, zucchini , ginger, herbs, shoyu and plum paste until well mixed but not over processed. Mix seeds in by hand or pulse lightly to mix. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Form into patties and place on teflex sheet in dehydrator at 115 degrees until patties firm up – remove from teflex and finish dehydrating on screens. I like to my burgers on the moist side but dehydrate to your desired texture. Store in sealed container. These taste even better the next day!

Alternatively, these could be placed on a baking sheet and cooked at low heat.

Enjoy!

Feel free to send me any comments or questions.

In health,

Colon cleansing and liver flush: Conclusion

Hello friends,

First, a little joke about farting.  Who doesn't like a good fart?  Sure feels good.  Although it can clear the room, it is always good for a laugh...

It has been a week since my liver flush.  Overall, I liked the results of the cleanse and plan to do it again in a month.  

I plan on doing a more effective "pre-cleanse" this time around - this time there will be no "un-cooking" class to go to (I hope!) to possibly distract me from a cleansing dietary protocol which is essential for good results and comfort.  

I do feel it is time for me to do a Parasite Cleanse - there are so many protocols out there right now and I am researching different options for myself.  I tend to experiment on myself - this is just m

y style and I don't necessarily recommend that for others.  I did spend a lot of time in India and other parts of Asia and some "muscle testing" told me that I may have parasites.  Yum!  

And of course, as with any cleanse, and particularly with a Parasite Cleanse - COLONICS are essential, as is an impeccable diet.  Ho hum.  I do eat well but I do have my vices.  Currently that is Organic Dried Mangoes (HEAVEN) and Dried Mulberries.  I love to soak my mulberries in blended apples that I blend in my awesome Vitamix.

Here is a basic recipe:

Mulberry YUM

1 cup mulberries, soaked in 2 or more blended apples, soak overnight or for at least four hours

Scoop some in a small bowl and add:

1 or more tablespoons of Organic Shredded Coconut

A splash or two of nut milk (I use homemade mouthwatering Vanilla Brazil Nut Milk)

A sprinkle of vanilla powder (optional - if using Vanilla Nut milk, not needed)

Mix (I like mine chunky) and then:

 I love to top this with freshly ground flax seeds, either golden or brown 

Eat and ENJOY!

For more decadence, I like to add a dollop of Fig Prune Cream (soaked figs and prunes blended into a smooth cream).

This is so good, I can't even describe the taste sensation waiting to dance in your mouth!

Getting back to the subject of toxins and before and after...

Which brings to mind certain famous people that were once lean and looking healthy and who now are so bloated 

- I see gas pressure that has built up in their system straining to find a way out 

(hence the puffiness and bloating)

and think, If they were willing to have colonics it could change their whole life.  Look at Vince Vaughn!  John Travolta, Tom Hanks, and a range of others share that similar appearance of puffiness, bloating, weight gain, etc.  These are toxins trying to find a way OUT.  Colonics and dietary improvements  could change all that.  

When we are younger  we have more room for error, but as we get older, that room for error diminishes, and which why good eating habits and food choices are so essential.  That, coupled a with a good attitude (which is KEY)

 and good COLON HEATH (PS,

  COLON HYDROTHERAPY!) are the secrets to a vibrant and healthy long life.

Vince, Tom, John, please seek out your nearest Colon Hydrotherapist!  

Onto other things - I have been promising the POO RATING SYSTEM which is a sure crowd pleaser, and I PROMISE that I will write about that next - maybe even tomorrow!

Until then, I wish you health, happiness, and a good bowel

 movement (there is nothing like it!)

Get rid of gas with colonics!

This post is going to be short - but I wanted to to let you all know that I am coming out with a good post about gas soon(yay!) and how colonics can greatly help this often...how shall I put it - uncomfortable situation!  

In the meantime, I leave you with an old childhood song:

Campbell's Soup

Makes you poop

Down your leg and in your boot

On the floor and out the door, 

Now get ready for some more!

Yes, I sang that in kindergarten and that lovely tune has stayed with me all these years!

And now on to food:

Food tip of the day:  Include more leafy greens in your diet by having a green smoothie every day!  

I use my amazing Vitamix Prep for this - a heavy duty 3+ horsepower mother of all blenders!  For more info on these miracle machines, click HERE

Some great smoothie recipes are:

Mango Parsley

2 large mangoes

1 bunch parsley

water

YUM!

Strawberry - Banana - Romaine

1 cup strawberries

2 bananas

1/2 bunch romaine

water

delish!

Pineapple Spinach Celery Dream - my personal fave

1/2 cup or more of low glycemic berries

1/2 cup fresh pineapple (can use the core)

1 to 2 cups baby spinach

1 or 2 sticks celery

water or coconut water

Blend until smooth and ENJOY!

For longer lasting satisfaction, throw in a tablespoon of gorgeous Virgin Coconut Oil and be transported in to BLISS.

Be creative!  And remember, you can mix fruit with all kinds of leafy greens for wonderful food combining benefits (I would skip the mustard greens, though!)

Until next time...

Colonics and Gas-Spring is the perfect time for cleansing!

IT'S SPRING!!!

The change of the seasons is an ideal time to cleanse and do a series of colonics.

Why is this?

The change of the seasons often has us eating differently, changing our physical activity, and son. Spring has traditionally been a time to cleanse the liver and many people are known to do liver flushes at this time, along with colon cleansing, using either oxygen

supplements such as Colosan

or herbal cleansing programs.

As always, colon hydrotherapy is an adjunct to any cleansing program and to a healthy lifestyle.

The sense of relief one gets simply from the waste and gas being moved out of the system is IMMENSE, and for those embarking on a journey towards greater health and vitality, colonics are essential.

Colonic Irrigations allow you to develop a personal relationship with what you eat and the effect it has on your body, and on your organs of elimination - primarily, the colon.

I quote (and paraphrase) my favourite blogger, Matt Monarch:

"Colon Hydrotherapy IIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS my speciality. Ladies and Gentlemen, YES...my passion in life is telling people to, "Shoot water up their bums". This is not an ego thing, by any means...I get no personal benefit from "preaching" this.

Dr. Fred Bisci has seen over 25, 000 clients in his 50 years of experience. Thousands and thousands of people have had tremendous results and not one of the

m has run into s SINGLE problem. We have both seen people just SLIGHTLY improve their diet and do masses of colon cleansing, and heal from degenerative diseases. In my opinion, it is the number one thing anyone can do for their health and the most important thing to do to heal from degenerative disease. If you can get a chance, study the blood gas theory here. AND YES, in my ~!!!!!!Passionate!!!!!!!~HEART-F

ELT opinion, it is COMPLETELY SAFE.

I can give you emails from hundreds of people who will state that enemas and colonics saved their life.

Enema dependency is, in my opinion, an absolute falsehood. Dr. Norman Walker and Ann Wigmore both state that enemas and colonics STRENGTHEN, rather than weaken, peristalsis. I personally have been experimenting with this sort of thing for 8 years and I don't have a problem having a bowel movement (Xell: I have had the same experience - in fact, pooping has become nearly a spiritual experience!!! :D). There could be confusion around this sort of thing because people don't understand what is happening to them.

Sometimes after someone gets a colonic, they don't need to go to the bathroom for 48 hours, which is completely normal and okay (Xell: for some, it can be even longer than this, as it will reflect your own transit time). You just cleaned out this 5 to 6 foot receptacle of waste. Very soon, you will be eliminating normally again. Many fasters (eating no solid food for extended periods of time) doing regular enemas or colonics report solid waste coming out of them the entire time period of their fast!

Where is all is this solid waste coming from???

This issue doesn't lay in becoming DEPENDENT on enemas. When someone does enemas, they can get addicted to that blissed clean feeling...AND...they cleanse more rapidly than others....the cells are much more c

ontracted on a "cleaner" person, especially someone who practices colon cleansing frequently; they have less margin for error in their consistent food choices. Their hundreds of trillions of thousands of cells are in s small, contracted state with less internal obstruction than the majority of people. Therefore, they are affected by fermentative gas produces by certain foods more, because there is less space for this gas inside their structure, while someone with bigger cells won't notice a thing with the same amount of gas. Read the Blood Gas Theory for a deeper understanding here.

A lot of interesting things to mull over!

I recently posted about Coconut Oil

and so many of you know how much I love it. A friend recently asked me which ones I recommended - I love to try different brands and I have to say that my top favourites are Nutiva Virgin Coconut Oil and Wilderness Family Naturals. The taste of both brands is exquisite and works wonders as a face and body moisturizer, as well. Other great brands are Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil and Cocopura Virgin Coconut Oil.

I promised the poo rating system - that will be the next post! :)

Until next time...

Why we need Colonics in Connecticut

"There is no ailment, sickness or disease that will not respond to treatment quicker and more effectively than it will after the administration of a series of colonic irrigations."

Dr. Norman Walker

I am an admirer of Dr. Normal Walker, who was a raw food pioneer and a Colon Irrigation enthusiast, as well as a juicing enthusiast.  His book, Colon Health is a must read for anyone interested in vitality and greater health.   You can see his entire collection here.

Matt Monarch, the Raw Food educator, often posts about the necessity for colon cleansing with colonics in his wonderful and always interesting blog.

He writes:  

"When you cleanse the colon you definitely provide a greater opportunity for waste in the small intestines to dump into the colon.  The most important thing about colon hydrotherapy is that it eliminates gas.  That gas pressure is what constipates our cells from detoxing on a cellular level.  You can sometimes feel this gas pressure in your head and other areas of the body.  Most people get MASSIVE relief after doing a colonic.  If you have improved your diet in any way consistently for a reasonable amount of time, then it's a GREAT idea to do a colonic and there is a GREAT chance that you too will experience a massive amount of RELIEF!

Relief is right.  Colonics coupled with a whole foods diet, or even better, a mostly raw vegan diet, will take your health to a whole new level!

Bye for now.

All About POO and colonics, too

I love talking about poo.  It's what I do.  And it's fun and entertaining, too.

I think I may be a poet and did not know it...

So why poo, you ask?  Well, we all do it.  Even Oprah does it!  And whether we are shy about it, talk about it, look at it or are in denial about it, it's a fact of life.  If you ain't pooping, you ain't feeling too good!

Enter Colonic Hydrotherapy, Colonics, Colonic Irrigation, High Enemas, ETC...all different names for essentially the same thing:  an internal bath for your colon, also known as the large intestine.

The Colon is the final part of the digestive tract and is located in the abdomen.  Its main functions are to eliminate waste and absorb water.  It is five feet long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter.  It is inhabited by billions of friendly bacteria (hopefully) which assist in detoxifying waste, synthesizing certain vitamins and minerals, and helping us guard against infection.

So back to poo.  How is it for you?  The average person is carrying anywhere from four to fifteen pounds of fecal matter inside their colon!  :0  If that is not scary, what is.  I know that I, for one, would want to get that stuff moving out as quickly and efficiently as possible.  

Colonics are wonderful for this.  Most of us eat a far from impeccable diet and for our long term health and longevity, it is essential to do Colon Cleansing  once or twice a year.  You can learn more about Colon Health here.

Coming soon:  My very exciting and entertaining poo rating system.  Guaranteed to please.

And feel free to ask any questions!  I welcome all bums.

Ciao for now,

x.
