Genetically Engineered Salmon



About GE Salmon


The biotechnology industry says it has genetically engineered a fish that grows at twice the normal rate, so it can get to market sooner and make more money, faster. But this dangerous lab experiment is all hype and full of downsides to consumers, salmon growers and the environment.

If approved, GE salmon would be the first “transgenic” animal allowed into our food supply. It’s also unlikely that it would have to be labeled, so you might not even know you’re eating it.
The FDA doesn’t even do its own testing of genetically engineered animals: it relies on information provided by the company that wants approval. And because GE salmon are being considered as a new animal drug, the process isn’t focused on what happens to people who eat genetically engineered animals. So on top of the health concerns posed by raising salmon in crowded factory fish farms that rely on antibiotics and other chemicals, the FDA could be adding the unknown risks of GE salmon to the mix.

At least 30 House members and 14 senators have written the Obama administration either expressing serious concerns about the manner in which the FDA conducted its review of Aquabounty’s GE salmon, or calling for the outright prohibition of its approval for human consumption. So why isn’t the FDA listening? Learn more.

How to freeze Aloe Vera gel


How to freeze Aloe Vera gel

Aloe Vera is great for cuts and sunburns, even bug bites. It's been called the "First Aid" plant. Aloe vera's soothing gel inside the thick, succulent leaves is an incredible natural skin care product. 


The Harvesting Process
When ready to harvest the gel from an aloe leaf, choose an outer leaf that is healthy and grows toward the bottom of the plant. To remove the leaf, cut it at an angle close to the plant's base. Plants that are too immature to harvest will not have leaves growing close to the ground.

Once you cut the leaf from the plant, place it upright in a container in a slightly tilted position. Let the leaf stay in that position for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, allowing the sap to drain from the leaf.

Place the aloe leaf on a flat surface such as a cutting board. Carefully cut off the tip of the leaf and the pointed rough edges on both sides using a very sharp knife. Make certain to cut both sides of the leaf all the way from top to bottom. Separate the front and back of the leaf by slicing it lengthwise from the inside.

Scoop out both the slimy mucilage gel and the clear inner gel which appears more as a solid gel. For most leaves, a spoon works for scooping out the gel. If the leaf is very large, a butter knife may work best. When removing the gel, it is important to press down lightly but firmly, being careful not to remove any remaining sap.

Storing the Aloe Vera Gel
Store the aloe gel in the refrigerator in a plastic container that is safe for food storage or a glass container. The best container choice is a dark green or brown glass jar, which helps to keep out light. Many people add a drop of vitamin E and a small amount of citric acid powder to prevent discoloration and make the aloe vera gel last longer. In place of citric acid powder, simply crush a vitamin C tablet into powder or use a drop of grapefruit seed extract.

Cup of Green Tea Daily Shown to Reduce Risk of this Cancer Type by 24%


Cup of Green Tea Daily Shown to Reduce Risk of this Cancer Type by 24% Natural Society
Is there really anything green tea can’t do? It’s rich in catechins, or healthful flavonoids, and these compounds have truly amazing benefits. From weight loss to brain protection and disease prevention—green tea is truly a healing powerhouse. And the benefits go on—with research connecting the tea to ovarian cancer treatment and prevention.

Multiple studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of green tea in reducing cancer risk. According to one such study, one cup of green tea each day was able to reduce ovarian cancer risk by 24 percent. More than one cup provided even more dramatic results. Two cups per day reduced the risk by 46%, and those women who drank green tea for over 30 years saw the rate of ovarian cancer drop a whopping 75%.
 
 

How does it work? At the risk of boring you with unintelligible medical-speak, the components in green tea induce “apoptosis” or cell death. Rather than the cancer cells proliferating (growing in number quickly), they die out.

Green tea components also “downregulate the expression of proteins involved in inflammation, cell signalization, cell motility, and angiogenesis,” according to David Liu, PhD, at FoodConsumer.org. This means, the compounds in green tea regulate cell health in a variety of ways by fighting inflammation (a major contributor to disease in general) and the growth of cancerous cells.

Green tea may stop the growth of cancer cells but it also protects healthy cells, something that can’t be said for traditional cancer treatments. It does this by reducing inflammation and protecting cells from damage by free radicals.

Antibiotics in Meat



Americans are under threat from antibiotic-resistant superbugs, making us vulnerable to common, once treatable infections. A remarkable 80 percent of antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used not by humans, but by the meat and poultry industries so factory farm animals can grow faster and survive crowded and unsanitary conditions.

This is creating superbugs on the farm, and humans are exposed in a number of ways, including when we handle or eat undercooked meat. Our life-saving drugs are becoming less effective when we really need them. Unfortunately, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has refused to take meaningful action to restrict the use of unnecessary antibiotics in livestock production.

We’re calling on Trader Joe’s to only source their meat from animals raised without antibiotics. As one of the most progressive national retailers, Trader Joe’s has already demonstrated care for their customers’ health by saying no to GMOs, artificial colors and trans fats in the products they sell. Trader Joe’s can also be a leader by helping move the livestock industry in the right direction. Read more>>


Farm Use of Antibiotics Defies Scrutiny
The numbers released quietly by the federal government this year were alarming. A ferocious germ resistant to many types of antibiotics had increased tenfold on chicken breasts, the most commonly eaten meat on the nation’s dinner tables.

Eighty percent of the antibiotics sold in the United States goes to chicken, pigs, cows and other animals that people eat, yet producers of meat and poultry are not required to report how they use the drugs — which ones, on what types of animal, and in what quantities. This dearth of information makes it difficult to document the precise relationship between routine antibiotic use in animals and antibiotic-resistant infections in people, scientists say.

Remedies for Earaches: Coconut Oil



Click on picture to read more about this remedy!

Warm coconut oil in a saucepan, put a few drops in ear, repeat every 20 minutes or so for an hour, lying on your side so it wouldn't drain out.

We also found that warmth made the ear feel better. I sent him to bed with one of those rice bags that you warm up in the microwave - we put it on his pillow and he slept with his ear on it. (note: don't make it hot - that could cause problems.  I just warmed it for less than a minute to give some slight warmth).

Remember, please check with your doctor if the problems continue or if you have any concerns.  This is just one remedy we use to soothe sore ears and may not help with chronic infections.


I'd love some more suggestions for earaches - with four boys aged 6 and under, I imagine we're not quite done dealing with them yet!!

I'm a firm believer of garlic to help ear infections. Take a whole clove of garlic, peel it, and let it sit out for about an hour. Then, put the whole clove right into the ear canal before bed. Sleep with it in all night long. It is kind of stinky but it really works! If the clove is too big to fit, cut it down to size, but don't put it in so far that you can't get it back out.

Garlic oil in the ear canal is good and not harmful, its anti-bacterial but the catch is it only kills the harmful bacteria and leaves the good bacteria that your bodies need. Yes heat does help it creates a vacume and helps draw out excess fluids and relieve the pressure in the inner ear. try this, heat up a bowl of water with a wash cloth in it in the microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 min. then pour the water and wash cloth in a ziplock bag have your child or whomever lay with the hurt ear on the bag (wrapped in a handtowel of coarse) then once the bag is cooled garlic oil in the ear. repeat as needed. Also quicker fixes with pain relief and bacteria balancing effects Young Livings Melrose around the out side of ear or Young Livings Lavender.
I Choose Young living oils because of the purity and unadulterated oil properties. http://www.youngliving.com/en_US/

FDA increases allowed radiation doses of meats

In the first new rule recently published in the Federal Register, the FDA specifies that "unrefrigerated uncooked meat" can now be irradiated right alongside refrigerated, frozen and cooked meat. And in the second new rule, the FDA increases the amount of ionizing radiation that can be applied to poultry products such as chicken by 50 percent, bumping the dosage up to 4.5 kilograys (kGy) of radiation from the previous 3.0 kGy.

You can view the two published rules here:
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-11-30/pdf/2012-28967.pdf

...the FDA does not seem to care much about the facts as they concern the safety (or lack thereof) of irradiation, as the rogue agency has been on a crusade for the past several years to irradiate virtually everything that Americans eat. Meat, fruit, spices, breads, you name it -- if the grocery store sells it, then the FDA wants to nuke it for your "safety." (http://www.naturalnews.com/023945.html)

Balancing Hormones


Hormones are the chemical communicators between all cells. All hormones depend on each other to do their job. For the body to function in a balanced manner, we must strive to keep all hormones at a normal level. Our bodies are comprised of three hormonal systems that are all interconnected and influence one another in countless ways.

Blood Sugar Hormones: Insulin, Glucagon, Testosterone
Adrenal Hormones: Stress Hormones, Sex Hormones
Ovarian Hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone

The master gland or pituitary, secretes chemical messengers (hormones) that act on the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, ovaries and testes, which in turn produce other hormones. Through production of its hormones, the pituitary gland controls your metabolism, growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, blood pressure and many other vital physical functions and processes. Thus if the desire is to create homeostasis within our chemical messenger system, it makes sense to create the focal point within the blood sugar hormones: insulin and glucagon. Read more>>

The following tidbits of information are offered for relief of hormonal imbalance symptoms.

*High-Lignan Flaxseed Oil & Ground Flaxseeds ~ Known as the #1 all-around hormonal balancer – especially for skin conditions, depression and fatigue – nothing beats a daily tablespoonful of flaxseed oil that is high in lignans. Swallow as is or use as a salad dressing or topping once your recipe has been prepared.

*Black Currant Seed Oil ~ This is great for mood changes, anxiety, hair loss, irritability, headaches, water retention and particularly useful for female breast tenderness. Suggest two capsules (500 mg) of black currant seed oil twice daily after food.

*Multivitamins and Magnesium ~ the following combination of supplements offer relief for symptoms such as mood swings, insomnia, anxiety, tissue dryness and water retention. Magnesium in particular is great for ‘cravings’. When folks tell me they crave chocolate.. it is not really the chocolate they are craving but magnesium the body needs and wants:

-Vitamin B complex, including 50 – 100 mg of B6
-Vitamin C, 1000 mg three times a day
-Vitamin E, 400-1200 IU
-Magnesium, 500-1000 mg before sleeping

*Zinc ~ (15-50 mg a day) promotes immune function to fight illness, supports healthy cell growth and development, and ensures a proper sense of taste and smell. It is especially important for men in maintaining prostate health, testosterone levels and overall sexual health. For women, zinc helps to lower estrogen and increase progesterone levels, as well as to build strong bones. A must for vegetarians, whose diet is often lacking in this vital mineral.

Ladies: Natural Progesterone Cream ~ Progesterone cream balances estrogen dominance symptoms, such as decreased sex drive, depression, abnormal blood sugar levels, fatigue, fuzzy thinking, irritability, thyroid dysfunction, water retention, bone loss, fat gain, and low adrenal function. Massage a high-quality progesterone cream into the soft, capillary-rich skin of your face, neck, upper chest, breasts, inner arms, palms and backs of hands, and soles.

*Exercise ~ oh the things I can say about moving your body!!!! Be vigorously active for a minimum of a half hour five days a week. Do different things each day—and do what you ENJOY.

*Destress Your Stress ~ Remember that you perceive a stressor as such and that stress is a three-step process:
-Stressor
-Distress
-Consequence

The process can be interrupted at any time

*Adrenal Refresher ~ At times of a lot of stress, replacing lost minerals and vitamins can help the adrenal glands secrete stress hormones. The following are offered for your trial:

B Complex vitamins
Vitamin C, 500 mg every three hours
Adrenal gland extract
Schizandria root (suggest 2 caps three times a day)
StressCare
GABA
Green and Yellow-Orange vegetables
Sea Vegetables (nori, hishiki, arame, dulse, kelp etc)

*Saw Palmetto berries ~ boosts prostate health in men, and contributes to regulating sexual health/development and normalizing the reproductive health activity of the those glands and organs for both men and women. So yeah for the promotion of healthy libidos!! Saw Palmetto is great for hair growth, its effects on general health and disposition (tranquility), appetite stimulation as well as digestion and nutrient assimilation.

From a holistic approach I teach to take only the absolute minimum that you need to alleviate your symptoms. As a Nutrition Specialist, you know I will always start with: clean up your food! Focusing on protein plus healthy fats + veggies + a small portion of complex carbs (around 25-35g) per feeding. Eating 5-6 times a day.

Should you be up for further exploration, I highly recommend the following books loaded with key information regarding balancing your hormones.

•·Before the Change: Taking Charge of Your Perimenopause by Ann Louise Gittleman
•·Eating Wisely for Hormonal Balance. The Woman’s Guide to Good Health, High Energy & Ideal Weight by Sonia Gaemi
•·The Schwarzbein Principle ~ The Truth About Losing Weight, Being Healthy and Feeling Younger by Diana Schwarzbein and Nancy Deville

Dr. Oz viciously attacks organic foods and farmers markets

Dr. Oz viciously attacks organic foods and farmers markets, pushes feedlot beef, urges clueless consumers to eat more pesticides and GMO (opinion)

Saturday, December 01, 2012
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
 


Dr. Oz has finally done it: He has sold out to Big Ag by declaring organic foods to be "elitist," "snooty" and no better than conventional foods. The man who once urged Americans to eat organic has sold his soul to the criminally-run food giants in a mind-blowing editorial piece recently published in TIME Magazine.

Look for Dr. Oz to promote GMOs next, as cozying up to Monsanto probably won't be too far behind. The man is already on the record pushing vaccines, talking about how good they are for "public health" while failing to mention that
vaccines admittedly contain mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum and MSG.

He's also the same guy who was behind the "RealAge" internet scheme that recruited people into a promotional network where they were barraged by drug-pushing ads from Big Pharma. Dr. Oz also owned a huge number of option shares in a vaccine technology company.

In his TIME Magazine editorial piece, Dr. Oz declares organic foods to be "elitist" and appropriate only for "the 1%." This clever bit of propaganda is designed to try to align conventional foods (i.e. pesticide ridden GMO foods) with the "99%" by making them sound more populist. As if, the "People's food" is pesticides and GMOs, you see.

Does the man have no shame? Is there any corporate poison he won't promote to his viewers?

Oz declares organic food is "not democratic"

"Organic food is great, it's just not very democratic," Dr. Oz declares, as if choosing organic is somehow an affront to America. "You don't need to eat like the 1% to eat healthily," he says. In other words, keep sucking down more GMOs, pesticides, herbicides and chemicals, and you'll be a good little American food slave. Buying organic is anti-American, you're being told.

Dr. Oz's message, of course, has become indistinguishable from that of Monsanto. It's all the same deception: You don't need clean, non-GMO food to be healthy. Keep eating all the conventional crap that poisons you with synthetic chemicals, and you'll be just fine! How about some GMO Corn Flakes for breakfast, even!

Dr. Oz also attacks farmers markets, because he apparently thinks buying local food is a silly waste of time. "Nutritionally speaking, there is little difference between the farmer's-market bounty and the humble brick from the freezer case," he somehow says with a straight face. Oh really? There's no difference between fresh, locally-grown food versus frozen, corporate-produced food trucked in from a thousand miles away? The ignorance of this guy is just flat-out stunning. Does he know nothing about where food comes from and how it is produced? Read more>>

GMO Cops: Biotech Giant Hires Former Cops to ‘Enforce Patents’

This is VERY disturbing...wonder where this is heading for our country when farmers are forced to plant their frankenseed.



A new private force of former police officers which I have dubbed ‘GMO Cops‘ will now be hunting down any farmer who is replanting biotech giant DuPont’s GM seeds to save their failing genetically modified harvest. That’s right, they’re literally seeking farmers who replant Roundup Ready soybeans who are in violation of DuPont’s patent. And as the second largest seed company in the world (second only to Monsanto), DuPont is hiring dozens of former cops and sending them across the entire continent of North America to track down farmers who haven’t paid up.

GMO Cops or The GMO Mafia?

Another term to describe these individuals may also be the ‘GMO Mafia‘. Literally sent to ‘protect sales’ and essentially shake down struggling farmers who may actually be replanting DuPont’s ‘patented seeds’ without paying the company in licensing fees, the GMO Cop Mafia’s mission statement is to ensure that “illegal beans” do not get planted. After all, if a farmer were able to replant these beans, then it may slightly make up for the horrible yields produced from the crops. The same yields that have been a major factor — if not the factor — in over a quarter of a million farmer suicides.

Farmers who lost everything after signing on to deceptive deals with the likes of Monsanto and other biotech companies.

The GMO Cops Mafia news also comes literally just 24 hours after it was revealed that GM cotton crops fell by at least 40% according to mainstream government reports. Similar news has been making the headlines about GM corn, which is being absolutely ravaged by heavily ‘mutated’ rootworms that are resistant to the pesticide-producing capabilities of the GMO crops. Pesticide producing GMOs that ultimately end up in your stomach.

It should come as no surprise that DuPont also fell 5.6% this year in the stock market.
So perhaps DuPont has realized that they better start shaking down their clients now before their empire ultimately collapses along with Monsanto. And if it’s not resistant rootworms, horrendous failures to yield, or a disturbingly high rate of farmer suicide, its the numerous country-wide bans on GMOs that continue to be announced each month. From Russia to Peru (which passed a monumental 10 year ban), GM crops are effectively being phased out of the international food supply.

The bottom line, it seems, is that DuPont is out to get every last penny before the company faces serious resistance. As one research professor told Bloomberg:
 “Farmers are never going to get cheap access to these genetically engineered varieties… the biotech industry has trumped the legitimate economic interests of the farmer again.”
But regardless of the GMO Cop Mafia, DuPont will not be able to weather the mass opposition to GM crops that is continually mounting on a grassroots level. Like their cohort Monsanto, even all of the political brute force in the world cannot save the company from ultimately collapsing.

Tomatoes

Food Fact:
Tomatoes are one of the most concentrated sources of lycopene, but cooking them actually increases the lycopene content that can be absorbed by your body, and also increases the total antioxidant activity. Eating a wide variety of lycopene-rich foods makes sense, as in addition to stroke prevention, this powerful antioxidant has been shown to have beneficial effects for heart disease, cancer, skin health and even sperm count.

A regime of 3 days to give your lungs cleaning need. These steps will help.
 
It eliminates all dairy products two days before starting to clean. Dairy products may interfere with the detoxification process, since they are slowly digested by the body. The body must rid of toxins from dairy products much before starting to clean the lungs.

Drink 1 cup of herbal laxative tea before going to bed the night before the first day of regime. This frees the system of toxins in the intestines that may tend to begin a constipation. The lungs must not be overloaded work with locks in any part of the body during cleaning.

Squeeze 2 whole lemons in 300 milliliters of water before breakfast. This will prepare you to digest alkalizing foods that help the lungs to regenerate.

Drinking 300 milliliters of juice of grapefruit in the snack. If you don't like the taste of the juice, mix it with a bottle of mineral water or replace it with pineapple juice. These juices contain natural antioxidants that promote a healthy respiratory system.

Drinking 300 milliliters of pure carrot juice between breakfast and lunch. Carrot juice will help alkalize your blood during the 3 days of cleaning.

You have to drink 400 milliliters of a potassium-rich juice with lunch. Potassium is a powerful agent that acts as a tonic for cleaning when ingested in liquid form. It squeezed carrot, celery, spinach, parsley. A true disgust that changes your life.

‎10 THINGS TO DO TO REVERSE SPONTANEOUS HAIR LOSS



‎10 THINGS TO DO TO REVERSE SPONTANEOUS HAIR LOSS

1) Cut out all bread products - bread is produced primarily with bromine, which offsets iodine in the body. M
ost people with hair loss share low levels of iodine. In addition, a great number of hair loss incidents are due to a fungal condition in the body. Bread is something that feeds fungi and we want to be sure to not increase the fuel on the fire.

2) Maca or quality Iodine supplement on 3 days, off 3 days, on 3 days, off 3 days, and so on until you see the results. Maca contains Iodine and, like all anti-fungals, kills the fungus that is eating away at the follicles. Iodine also helps to replenish the Thyroid system, which is often involved with hair loss. The 3 days off allows time for the body to eliminate the 'die-off' from the body without putting strain on the elimination organs and also gives the body time to recuperate.

3) Take a fistful of organic cilantro (either w/ a salad, on its own, in a juice / smoothie, etc.) a day for 5 days straight, starting ASAP. Cilantro helps flush out heavy metals, which microbes / fungi feed on. We need to clear their food supply out and this is a great way to help achieve that.

4) Try to cut out other items that feed fungi: sugar, alcohol, processed / boxed foods, anything in a gas station or fast food chain, tap water (breaks down natural flora / "good bacteria" in the body that balance fungal and microbe problems) and focus on real Earth foods as your new primary diet / food choices. Antibiotics and pharmaceutical drugs are known to include many heavy metals, again which feed harmful microbes, so avoiding them as best as possible would minimize this.

5) Cease using the hair products you've been using (shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, gel, etc.), find a 100% natural replacement (ideally an anti-fungal like tea tree oil), and invest in a shower filter to avoid any municipal chemicals from further disrupting hair growth.

6) Drink as much spring water as you can from the moment you wake up (32oz), throughout the day, and a glass before bed.

7) 2 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar a day in a glass of pure spring water w/ juice from half a lemon each day, perhaps even 2-3x a day. ACV acts as an anti-fungal / anti-microbial and contains an amazing concentration of so many items the body works better with by nourishing, eliminating toxins, and balancing ph.

8) Eat / drink / juice as many organic vegetables as possible... get the chlorophyll, phytonutrients, protein, antioxidants, etc fresh in your blood so that it is protecting your blood and body each day.

9) Avoid fluoride and chlorine (tap water, shower water, tooth paste, etc.) as much as possible. These break down beneficial bacteria that keep harmful microbes in check, offset your glands, deplete nutrition from the food you eat, and countless other negative potentials to the body.

10) Increase Manganese in the body... either through supplementation or food sources like Pine Nuts (handful a day). 1-2 tsp a day of Ceylon Cinnamon (aka true cinnamon, or sweet cinnamon) will also thwart many of the microbes, in addition to increasing glutathione levels (antioxidant) and balancing blood-sugar levels.

Feng Shui Kitchen for Health & Wealth

Feng Shui Kitchen for Health & Wealth

The Chinese word for food, ts’ai (pronounced “tsigh”), sounds the same as their word for wealth. Their logic about the food-wealth connection follows a positive cycle: food feeds our bodies, nourishes our minds, and fuels our effectiveness and stamina. If the food is fresher and more nutritional, we will be more productive and capable of earning more money — allowing us to buy better and higher-quality food. The reverse, the Chinese feel, is also true: if we can only afford poor food, our own performance and, therefore, finances, will suffer.

Good Kitchen Feng Shui Colors

Any shade of yellow is excellent for the kitchen because it's a good color for digestion. Red, brown, and white are also good choices for the kitchen. Try to avoid a strong presence of water colors such as blue or black because they put down the fire feng shui element. 



Clutter and Kitchen Feng Shui

Keeping your kitchen clean and clutter-free is a necessary step for good feng shui. This applies both to areas that you can see right away, such as your countertops, as well as the ones that are usually hidden. 

Feng Shui Kitchen Decor

Place a bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers on your kitchen table. Display some of your utensils, plates, or cookbooks to create a nourishing and welcoming feeling in your body. 

The kitchen was considered to be the heart of the home for thousands of years. Use feng shui to make it a clean, light and happy heart for you and your family.



The need for the chef of the household to have a good vantage point when preparing food is both physically and psychologically practical. The Chinese take great pains to avoid being startled in any situation. For instance, they say if you are surprised when cooking, a nervous chain reaction is set off. Let’s say your spouse hugs you when you are preparing dinner and your back is turned. This may startle you while you’re chopping vegetables with a sharp knife or cooking over a hot stove. Because of the surprise and the potential of making a sudden movement or being distracted with a knife or a hot pan, your temper might flare, causing your ch’i to become jumpy. In turn, your reaction might affect your relationship that night and reverberate at your or your spouse’s office the next day, affecting both your career and your family relationship.

10 FOODS THAT HELP TO GET RID OF PARASITES

 
10 FOODS THAT HELP TO GET RID OF PARASITES

The ideal environment for parasites to live and grow in our bodies is promoted by a diet that includes refined carbohydrates (sugar), raw fish (sushi), undercooked meat (specifically pork) and even inadequately washed fruit and vegetables.

Parasites can cause health problems such as bloating, cramps, diarrhea, allergies, anal itching, anemia, low immune system, mucus or blood in stools and even affect your mood with anxiety or depression. Picking them up is easier than you think: restaurants with poor hygiene, holidays abroad with impure water, pets and animals.

Below is a list of 10 foods that can help keep these little beasts at bay so include them in your diet to get rid of parasites naturally:

1. Pumpkin & Sunflower Seeds

For the freshest pumpkin seeds, remove the seeds from your pumpkin and expose them to air for a few days to dry them out and eat them raw fist thing each morning.
Or if you like you can then bake them at 150c for 30 minutes with your favourite cold pressed oils and seasonings such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Seeds make a crunchy addition to cereals, porridge or salads.
For a morning tonic, grind the seeds along with watermelon seeds into a powder and take with aloe vera juice on an empty stomach each morning.
For a delicious salad dressing; grind seeds with fresh garlic, parsley and coriander leaves. Mix with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.

2. Coconut

Coconuts provide the fatty acid, lauric acid. The only other plentiful source of this is from lactating women; breast milk. When ingested, lauric acid is then converted to monolaurin and kills or inactivates protozoa, including several species of ringworm and Giardia lamblia.
For tapeworms it is suggested to drink the juice and eat the flesh of one fresh coconut first thing each morning then fast for 4 hours.

3. Pomegranates

This fruit has a sweet and sour flavour and can be used as a remedy for destroying worms in the intestinal tract.
When in season, eat 1-3 per day.

4. Papaya

This fruit has a strong capacity to destroy worms, including most intestinal worms and tapeworm.
To enhance their anti worm powers remove the skin and soak in apple cider vinegar for one day. Then eat eight ounces of this pickled papaya and drink 2 ounces of the vinegar solution for 4 days.
As a preventative while travelling, eat a spoonful of papaya seeds once a day on an empty stomach. If you already have parasites, eat the seeds for one week, then wait a week and repeat. It is important to chew the seeds thoroughly. If you don’t find them palatable you may blend them into smoothies.

5. Garlic

If you (and your partner if you have one) can tolerate it, eat a garlic bud first thing every morning.
Chopping of crushing fresh garlic converts the phytochemical alliin to allicin, to which many of garlic’s health benefits are attributed.
For a tasty garlic hummus, puree 2 cloves of fresh garlic, 350 grams canned chickpeas, 2 tablespoons tahini, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 3 tablespoons lemon juice.
Garlic is a great addition to fresh vegetable juices; remove the garlic clove from the bulb and wrap in parsley so that the chlorophyll can bind some of the strong odour and juice it before the other vegetables.

6. Horseradish

Horseradish is effective against food borne illness and is effective against some worms.
It is member of the cabbage family and is an ancient herb native to eastern Europe.
The Egyptians and early Greeks were quick to value its medicinal qualities.
When horseradish is cut, the powerful antibacterial ingredient allylisothiocyanate is released.
Always grate fresh horseradish in a room with an open window to avoid the stringent fumes burning your eyes and nose.
A spoonful of fresh horseradish in soup adds a surprisingly mild but delicious flavour.
For a sweet tangy sauce for fish or prawns mix grated horseradish with dijon mustard and marmalade.

7. Thyme

Thymus is a Greek name for ‘courage’ but also had the meaning ‘to fumigate’, which may be more appropriate in relation to its ability to cleanse the system of worms.
Regularly eat the sprigs of thyme and drink half a cup of thyme tea each morning and evening.
For a dressing or marinade add fresh garlic and thyme to extra virgin olive oil and leave for 1 week.

8. Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne is a spice, closely related to the sweet red and chilli pepper, and widely used in Mexican and East Asian cuisines. Also known as Capsicum, its botanical name is derived from a Greek word meaning ‘to bite’. It certainly does add a kick when used as a condiment with food. Start with small amounts before increasing quantities and it will help to repel parasites.

9. Bitter Melon

Bitter melon looks like an ugly cucumber. It is one of the most popular vegetables in asia but an acquired taste for most westerners. In Chinese medicine, bitter foods drain ‘damp’ conditions such candida overgrowth and parasites. If you haven’t managed to acquire the taste but still want to benefit from the medicinal effect, take a 60ml shot of the juice.

10. Green Onions

Like garlic, onions release the enzyme alliinase when it is cut or crushed.
A tip for preparing onions and avoiding the ‘crying factor’ caused by the sulphur compounds of onions, is to refrigerate the onions for an hour before cutting and use a very sharp knife.
For an anti parasitic tonic, juice the white part of green onions and add 2 teaspoons of sesame seed oil. Take twice a day on an empty stomach for 3 days.

Importance of Intestinal Cleansing to Purge Parasites

Now do bear in mind that it may not be enough to simply incorporate the above foods into your daily nibbles, drinks and marinades, if you truly want to rid yourself of parasitic life. It is important to cleanse colon. You can order on line Colon Cleanse Tea:
