Calli: Radiation Toxicity

Posted on September 5, 2011 by Jackie

Here’s the experience from Aadil Palkhivala, one of the world’s foremost experts in Puma Yoga. This verifies the powerful cleansing properties of Calli Herbal Beverage. In today’s environment this has significant implications for our continuing good health. See the attached file at the bottom of this email

Read Aadil Palkhivala’s experience with radiation …

New environmental problems are appearing on our planet, including radiation toxicity. This will affect the whole planet and future generations. Here is a fascinating story: for Paul Jensen more information on the Sunrider Evergreen.

In 1986, Fred Decourt worked at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as a Radiation Protection Technologist in a highly contaminated area. He worked on a project cleaning up plutonium and ununhexium. When he was finished this job, he was given a routine whole body scan for radiation exposure. Nothing was detected. Two years later, he started eating Sunrider foods to lose weight. After he had been eating Sunrider for a few weeks, he underwent another routine scan at Hanford to check for radiation exposure. This time, his test results came back positive for ununhexium and plutonium isotopes – even though he had not worked with those toxins in two years. The doctors were stumped! Where had the radiation come from?

For two weeks they researched and tracked his history and diet. When they asked him about his diet he mentioned he had just started eating Sunrider and drinking Calli herbal beverage. Finally, the doctors were able to trace the appearance of the radiation to the body cleansing with Calli herbal beverage: because Calli has chelating properties and will attach to heavy elements, Calli pulled the radioactive isotopes out of his tissue (where it had been stored for two years!) and out through his urine. He was closely monitored and tested for five months until the radioactive isotopes were no longer detected.

To remove radiation toxicity, we use two products, Calli Herbal Beverage and Evergreen, both made by Sunrider. Include Calli as a part of your regular detoxification routine and to start drinking it if you live in any area that may have radiation exposure. Steep one teabag in 8-12 cups of hot, but not boiling, water (boiling water destroys the herbs). We also recommend Evergreen, the most absorb-able form of chlorophyll we have ever found.

CT Scans: Protect Your Thyroid..

Posted on April 24, 2011 by Jackie

CT Scans

Yes, it’s true: A couple of CT scans can expose your body to as much radiation as standing a few miles from an atomic bomb explosion. This is a simple scientific fact.

Most women undergoing mammograms have no idea that the radiation emitted by mammography machines actually causes cancer by exposing heart and breast tissue to dangerous ionizing radiation that directly causes DNA damage.

Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women, thyroid cancer.  It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms.  He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped around your neck.  Many dentists don’t bother to use it.

Also, there is something called a “thyroid guard” for use during mammograms. Most women don’t know about it. So ask for your thyroid guard and thyroid protective flaps next time you are getting scans and x-rays!!  Protect your thyroid!

Did you know that Calcium Helps Boost Our Metabolism?

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Jackie

Did you know that Calcium Helps Boost Our Metabolism?

Did you know that we need calcium for not only our bones, to maintain healthy and strong teeth, metabolize fat and even to maintain the correct pH in our body?

A calcium deficiency may result in the following symptoms:

•    Tooth decay
•    Aching joints
•    Eczema
•    Muscle cramps
•    Nervousness
•    Heart palpitations
•    Brittle nails
•    Hypertension
•    Increased cholesterol levels
•    Rheumatoid Arthritis
•    Insomnia
•    Rickets
•    Numbness in the arms
•    Numbness in the legs

One of the most important functions provided by calcium and other minerals is the balance of pH in the body.  The human body starts out in a slightly alkaline state and over time becomes more and more acidic.

Spring: Time To Clean The Liver!

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Jackie

According to the Chinese, spring is the time to cleanse and nourish the liver!

Should you cleanse your liver?

In traditional Chinese five element theory, the liver and gallbladder are ruled by the wood element. The liver is seen as regulating the flow a chi (vital life force) and blood throughout the body, regulating normal digestion, and creating harmony of the emotions. Emotions of anger and frustration are often seen as “hot” or “stagnant” liver imbalances.

History of the Liver Cleanse

There are few time-honored traditions in existence today as important as the spring liver cleanse. The liver cleanse has been seen as a vital part of health by almost every culture for over a 1,000 years. People often wonder why cultures ranging from China to Egypt to South America valued the liver cleanse.

The answer is clear – it is the foundation of a healthy body and mind!

Traditionally, liver cleanses were most often used to help purge the body of excess toxins and alleviate digestive problems from the heavy meals eaten during the winter months. Then many started to use olive oil and lemon juice followed up by epson salts to cleanse gall stones and bile. Some old time cleanses may be too strong or even detrimental according to modern research.

However, it is easy to understand the importance of the liver in cleansing, because it serves as a filter for everything circulating in the blood.   Main functions of the liver are to:

•    break down hormones (testosterone, estrogen, etc.)
•    detoxify water
•    detoxify fat based soluble chemicals (drugs, medications, pesticides, etc.)
•    neutralize toxins

The liver even stores necessary vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately, it also stores most toxins the body cannot breakdown.

Signs of liver imbalances that may indicate the need for cleansing:
o    PMS
o    Poor Digestion (Especially Fats)
o    Frustration & Anger
o    Chronic Stress
o    Chronic Allergies
o    Weakened Immunity
o    Hormonal Imbalance
o    Poor Eyesight
o    Fatigue, Lowered Energy
o    Skin Problems (Rashes, Eczema, Acne)
o    Elevated Liver Enzymes
o    Constipation
o    Leaky Gut Syndrome
o    Toxins in the Environment
o    Frequent Alcohol Consumption
o    Headaches & Migraines
o    Pains In the Upper Back & Neck

Table Foods for the Cleanse!
Eating the following whole foods diet while cleansing is very important:

  • Organic fruit and vegetable juices
  • Beets, carrots, artichokes, chicory root
  • All cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc.)
  • Bitter greens (collard, kale, mustard greens, dandelion greens)
  • Wild greens (nettles, watercress, purslane, lamb’s quarters, amaranth)
  • Lemons, bitter melon, fresh parsley

The Toxin So Dangerous – Even CDC Now Warns Against Consumption by Infants

Posted on January 23, 2011 by Jackie

Posted By Dr. Mercola – January 22 2011

A new study has found that the protective shield fluoride forms on teeth are up to 100 times thinner than previously believed. This raises questions about how this renowned cavity-fighter really works.

It has long been believed that fluoride changes the main mineral in tooth enamel,

hydroxyapatite, into a more-decay resistant material called fluorapatite. But the new research found that the fluorapatite layer formed in this way is only 6 nanometers thick — meaning it would take almost 10,000 such layers to span the width of a human hair.

According to Science Daily: “The scientists question whether a layer so thin, which is quickly worn away by ordinary chewing, really can shield teeth from decay”.

Another new study shows that exposure to fluoride may lower children’s intelligence.  In addition to toothpaste, fluoride is added to 70 percent of U.S. public drinking water supplies.

PR Newswire reports:

“About 28 percent of the children in the low-fluoride area scored as bright, normal or higher intelligence compared to only 8 percent in the ‘high’ fluoride area … in the high-fluoride city, 15 percent had scores indicating mental retardation and only 6 percent in the low-fluoride city.”

Hierarchy of Healing the Physical Body

Posted on by Jackie

Hierarchy of Healing is about Energy Expenditure and is controlled by the innate intelligence of the body.

This following information will teach you:

  • How the body prioritizes energy usage
  • Your current position on the ‘ranking’
  • Areas to look for indications of “improvement”.

This information also explains why a person will begin to develop more muscle, perhaps gaining weight before metabolizing fat. As the body receives more balanced energy the body begins to regenerate and we are able to go higher up on this ranking.

Special attention is placed on the production of offspring as the energy demands for such an occurrence are very high.

The intelligence of our body has priorities and is always programmed for our survival.

Physical Body’s Priorities:

1.    Crucial (Life sustaining: heart beating, lungs, functioning, etc.)

2.    Muscles (Muscle tissue is used every time we move …. this includes the heart.)

3.    Cleanse (Cleaning out of all poisons and toxins accumulated daily.)

4.    Fat Maintenance (Using fat efficiently, eliminating excess fat.)

5.    Immune (Building the immune system to protect from outside invaders.)

6.    Regeneration (Body can devote itself to creation of high quality cells.)

7.    Higher Mind (With above levels intact, awareness is raised and we are available to experience our Higher Mind in a natural way.)

1.  Crucial Functions:

When the body is operating at this level we are in emergency mode;

what keeps the body and fetus alive IMMEDIATELY is what gets first priority. The brain, the heart, breathing, circulation, survival is the only concern of the body at this level. If the body is operating at this level of energy management, serious care must be taken to bring the body into balance. Conception seldom takes place, if it does and the pregnancy results in birth – the baby might be born addicted, damaged or mutilated.

Disturbing Study:Newborn babies were found to have over 200 chemicals, pesticides, and other toxins in their blood.*

Posted on September 16, 2010 by Jackie

Newborn babies were found to have over 200 chemicals, pesticides, and other toxins in their blood.*
* Environmental Working Group “Body of Burden – The Pollution in Newborns.”   July 14, 2005.
That means we’re being poisoned before we even enter the world.

Have you heard this news yet?  It’s kinda scary when you think about it.

Newborn babies were found to have over 200 chemicals, pesticides, and other toxins in their blood. That means we’re being poisoned before we even enter the world.

This is very concerning. I’ve been telling people for years about the importance of cleansing but this really hit home.

You can do something about it.  Detox/Cleansing is critical.  It is one of the cornerstones of health. Read Article / Comment »

Visualize Optimal Health

Posted on September 14, 2010 by Jackie

Thought is the seed of action… Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you were assured that you would receive ten million dollars to follow instructions exactly, I have no doubt you would do it effortlessly and without thought. Why? Because you can see money in your mind quite clearly – you know what it is, you know what it can do for you and you know what money can buy.  Even without it in front of you, you can see it clearly and envision all the benefits. This vision is so clear you are motivated to get into action.

When it comes to our health, unfortunately, we do not clearly see the benefits and hence we are not motivated to get into action.

Unless you clearly see and understand in your mind what it means, your actions towards health seem pointless. We have to understand the thoughts, and then action will come naturally.

Can you visualizing what it will feel like to be at your optimal health? You probably have not given it much thought. Thoughts that lead to behavior are imprinted by repetitive thought and action. Continuing to use money as an example, what money can do is ingrained in your thoughts all day as you use it and work for it. You have perhaps spent time imagining what it does. You buy a lotto ticket and you can see in your mind what that winning money could do. Read Article / Comment »

CURB CRAVINGS WITH QUINOA

Posted on September 8, 2010 by Jackie

Quinoa is particularly helpful for people who want to eat gluten-free, and/or who are on Candida Diets.

Quinoa is pronounced  KEEN-WA

QUINOA, AN ANCIENT GRAIN (SEED)

Quinoa is a “rediscovered” grain that has many health benefits.  This ancient food was once considered to be “the gold of the Incas” and is finding its way back into the modern diet.  People who want a grain that is less allergenic than wheat and as versatile as rice should consider quinoa. Quinoa is technically a seed, although it looks like a grain.  It is the seed of a green leafy plant. When you cook quinoa it becomes fluffy with a bit of a crunch.  It is truly a uniquely textured food that many people enjoy when they first encounter it.  When quinoa seeds are cooked, the shell of the grain (seed) separates from the center, creating the dual texture. It has a nutty flavor and is a perfect substitute for rice or pasta. Quinoa comes in several different varieties including yellow, orange, pink, red, purple and black. The most common variety is the yellow kind, which becomes semi transparent when cooked. The leaves of the quinoa plant are also edible and nutritious, although they are sometimes hard to find. Quinoa is a “super grain” because it has so many healthy benefits. It contains all of the essential amino acids in addition to lots of iron, potassium and B vitamins. It’s a great option for vegetarians because it offers nutrients that most people get from meat. Read Article / Comment »

Genetically Manipulated Crops: The GMO Catastrophe in the USA.

Posted on August 26, 2010 by Jackie

By F. William Engdahl

Recently the unelected potentates of the EU Commission in Brussels have sought to override what has repeatedly been shown to be the overwhelming opposition of the European Union population to the spread of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in EU agriculture. EU Commission President now has a Maltese accountant as health and enviromnent Commissioner to rubber stamp the adoption of GMO. The former EU Environment Commissioner from Greece was a ferocious GMO opponent. As well, the Chinese government has indicated it may approve a variety of GMO rice. Before things get too far along, they would do well to take a closer look at the world GMO test lab, the USA. There GMO crops are anything but beneficial. Just the opposite.

What is carefully kept out of the Monsanto and other agribusiness propaganda in promoting genetically manipulated crops as an alternative to conventional is the fact that in the entire world until the present, all GMO crops have been manipulated and patented for only two things—to be resistant or “tolerant” to the patented highly toxic herbicide glyphosate chemicals that Monsanto and the others force farmers to buy as condition for buying their patented GMO seeds. The second trait is GMO seeds that have been engineered genetically to resist specific insects. Contrary to public relations myths promoted by the agribusiness giants in their own self-interest, there exists not oné single GMO seed that provides a greater harvest yield than conventional, nor one that requires less toxic chemical herbicides. That is for the simple reason there is no profit to be made in such.

Giant super-weeds plague

As prominent GMO opponent and biologist, Dr Mae-Wan Ho of the  Institute of Science in  London has noted, companies such as Monsanto build into their seeds herbicide-tolerance (HT) due to glyphosate-insensitive form of the gene coding for the enzyme targeted by the herbicide. The enzyme is derived from soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Insect-resistance is due to one or more toxin genes derived from the soil bacterium Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis). The United States began large scale commercial planting of GMO plants, mainly soybeans and corn and cotton around 1997. By now, GM crops have taken over between 85 percent to 91 percent of the areas planted with the three major crops, soybean, corn and cotton in the US, on nearly 171 million acres.
