Lemons should be staple of a truly healthy nutritional system.

Lemons have been used to heal the sick and prevent disease since ancient times.

What modern man would have ever thought that those little yellow bitter fruits we so take for granted could be so medicinal? From the Ayurveda of India to Roman Doctors to the Taoist herbalists of Ancient China lemons have been used in cure alls and remedies for a myriad of ailments and as a safeguard against ill health in general.

Health Benefits of Lemons

• Increased weight loss – Lemons Raises your Metabolism when consumed daily. The effect becomes very noticeable when continued for at least a week.
• Detoxification - Lemons have a cleansing effect on your digestive tract. They help to dissolve the dried up mucus that collects in your colon. This has major advantages to Health and weight loss
• Improves Breathing - Phlegm is a major problem today because of our modern diet. Lemon juice helps dissolve mucus all over your body, not just your colon. Lemons helped me to breathe better by helping to dissolve the mucus in my sinuses. Edmund Hillary, the first man to put his foot on the top of Mt. Everest, has admitted that his victory over Mt. Everest was greatly due to lemon. Improving your breathing is one of the best ways to raise energy, boost metabolism and thus quicken weight loss.
• More Energy – The high vitamin C value of Lemons helps maintain our energy levels.  When Vasco da Gama made his voyage round the Cape of Good Hope nearly two-thirds of his crew died of scurvy, a disease caused by lack of vitamin C. Innumerable boatmen moving in sea have saved their lives with the use of lemon.
• Sharpens your Six Pack Abs – When you lean out enough to have a six pack lemon juice’s diuretic like effects will help keep your water retention down which insures your six pack stays as sharp as possible.
• Anti-aging – The vitamin C, Citric Acid and other minerals in lemons have a restorative effect on your skin. Just one lemon a day can reduce wrinkles and add a natural luster to your skin.
• Alkalinizing - Having lemons in my water and in my Salad and Eating fermented lemons helped to cure my GERDS and Esophageal Redux Syndrome by reducing the acidity of my entire system. The processed foods in our modern diet are highly acidic and this leads to many digestive issues. High acidity has also been linked to cancer and studies have shownt hat cancer cannot thrive in a largely alkaline system.
• Antibacterial - Lemon-juice is a powerful antibacterial. It has been proved by experiments that the bacteria of malaria, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid and other deadly diseases are destroyed in lemon-juice.

How we should get our daily Dose of Lemons

Using the below methods you will get at least three servings of lemons every single day. You will notice more energy after three days and a luster to your skin after a week. Your digestive problems if you have any will be gone in about two weeks and you should be able to breathe much better in under a month. The effects of this system are immense and they all accentuate each other. Get ready to look and feel your best!

1. Charged Water – The first thing one should do every morning is to drink a glass of water with lemon juice and sea salt.
2. Essential Salad Dressing – Getting our greens is an essential part of a nutritional system gear for optimal weight loss and health. Lemon juice is a key component of salad dressing.
3. Fermented Lemons – The only thing better than lemons are fermented lemons. Have one a day with your meals, espcially cooked foods and you will get far more out of the meal. Fermented lemons help you absorb more of the nutrients from each meal and insures you won’t get heartburn. Check out my Lemona Meafina Egyptian Fermented Lemons Recipe.

A truly Healthy nutritious way of eating demands the use of Lemon juice. Instead of throwing them away we can use the squeezed lemons to make an incredibly health fermented food.

Lemons, while common are among the healthiest foods we can eat.

You can’t ever get to many of them and they are even better fermented. My grand mother fermented lemons and orange peels because they couldn’t afford cucumbers in Egypt.  ”Meafina” is Egyptian slang for something that is fermented. Egyptians like most ancient peoples know how powerful fermented foods are and they work to ensure they get some every day. While this practice was done out of poverty by the people of Helwan, Egypt it has immense health benfits as the people from the area in Egypt where my mother’s family was from are known for their amazing strength, beauty and longevity.

Sauerkraut is amazing Health Food, tastes great and is easy to make yourself.

Traditionally lacto-fermented foods have amazing health benefits and they can help you lose weight and have more energy.

The sad state of our American Diet means that all sauerkraut found in stores is not truly fermented and is useless. The sauerkraut found in stores is pasteurized and devoid of the enzymes which make it so healthy, hence why this is a “Raw” Sauerkraut Recipe. We must make it ourselves to enjoy the immense health benefits sauerkraut has.

• Scientists at Seoul National University in South Korea fed an extract of kimchi, a spicy Korean variant of sauerkraut, to 13 chickens infected with avian flu, and a week later, 11 of the birds started to recover
• Another recently released study at the University of New Mexico indicates that sauerkraut may reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 74 percent
• Of the hundreds of Polish women and Polish-born U.S. immigrants observed in the study, those who ate four or more servings of sauerkraut and cabbage per week during adolescence were 74 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than those who ate 1.5 or fewer servings per week.

Raw Sauerkraut Recipe

• 1 Cabbage – Red or green doesn’t matter, you can even combine them to get pink Sauerkraut
• 1 Onion – optional
• 1 Cucumber – optional
• 3 cloves garlic – optional
• 4 tablespoons of Sea Salt – The only requirement next to the actual cabbage
• 1 Big Glass Jar – Always use glass, never plastic

Directions

1. Cut the Cabbage in half
2. Cut out the hard base steam in a v shape, do this for both sides. You can throw it away
3. Cut the cabbage up into slices small enough to fit into your food processor
4. Put the cabbage into the food processor such that it dices it into long but thin slivers
5. Do the same for the onions cucumbers and garlic if you choose to use them
6. If you don’t have a food processor then you will have to cut it up yourself with a knife
7. Stuff the slices cabbage into a jar an inch high at a time and then add a table spoon of Sea Salt.
8. Repeat until you put all the cabbage in and use up all the salt. The salt will make the water rise up out of the cabbage, this is good and the jar should be very moist now.
9. Your jar should be full now and the water should, put a napkin on the top then put the jar lightly on top such that air can get in and out
10. Put the jar in a cool dry place away from sunlight and at room temperature for at least 5 days.
11. After five days your sauerkraut should be ready. Eat and enjoy it and let it stay in the fridge to last longer.

Raw Milk is milk straight from the breast. Human babies get raw milk when they are breast fed. We should always demand the best milk, as little processing as possible and never pasteurized.

Raw Milk has made me feel good about drinking milk and eating diary again.

I love the taste of Raw Milk. I grew up on a farm in Egypt and the milk I had there was warm fresh and alive straight from the cow. It made me a strong and healthy boy. When I came to the USA with my parents and we began drinking the milk in stores I changed. My mother was shocked to see me go from a strong healthy infant to a sickly little boy in just a few months.I came down with allergies to dust, insects, dogs and nearly everything. I also had serious respirator problems and my mucus became a problem. She still speaks about that transformation. She took me to the best doctors she could afford but they couldn’t help. My mother then, just like most people now had no idea how bad drinking pasteurized milk is for your health.

What is NOT Raw Milk

The milk sold in supermarkets is pasteurized. My research on the dangers of pasteurized milk convinced me to stop drinking any and all pasteurized diary. If you look at pasteurized milk under a microscope it looks as if everything has been exploded and bombed to death. The pasteurization kills off all the good bacteria and destroys most of the enzymes and proteins. Homogenization goes the extra mile and splits the fat molecules into smaller pieces which are more easily absorbed as belly fat by the body. Homogenized milk is always pasteurized because homogenized milk becomes rancid rapidly. Pasteurized milk is effectively a dead white liquid. For more research and studies on why pastuerized milk is to be avoided please refer to this article Milk, Pasteurization, Pus, Steroids, Lactose Intolerance and the Facts

Pasturized milk has been known to cause

• Excessive amounts of mucus –  The pus in pasteurized milk is way over healthy levels and will force your body to make more mucus to coat the toxins.
• Exaggerate allergies – The pesticides and in genetically modified pasteurized milk, all pasteurized milk in the USA is genetically modified, will worsen allergies.
• Calcium deficiency - The calcium in pasteurized milk cannot be absorbed into the body so those who reply on it for their calcium are actually calcium deficient. This is especially bad for children.
• Far more side effects of pasteurized milk exist read more about why pasteurized milk is no longer necessary

What is Raw Milk

When any mammal breast feeds it’s baby, they are drinking raw milk. Raw milk is milk that has not undergone the process of pasteurization. Pasteurization is highly damaging to milk and to we who consume it. Raw milk is far more than simply unpasteurized milk, it has come to be recognized by milk lovers and health professionals as milk that comes from no genetically modified cows, raised in good conditions and fed a mainly grass diet as was intended by nature. No steroids, pesticides or pus. This is what our grandparents drank everyday as children, before dairy became big business and got their lobbyists into our government.

Milk has been long considered a super food and anti aging medicine by cultures and religions around the world. If all these ancient books and cultures look to milk as super medicine then there must be a grain of truth to it. There is far more than just a grain. We all know milk is good for us. It is something hardwired into our minds by nature. We can skip the research there and just look to our gut.

Health Benefits of Raw Milk (unpasteurized milk )

• Enzymes that are destroyed during pasteurization. Without them, milk is very difficult to digest. So if you have lactose intolerance, it may very well disappear once you start consuming raw dairy products. It also contains phosphatase, an enzyme that aids and assists in the absorption of calcium in your bones, and lipase enzyme, which helps to hydrolyze and absorb fats. Enzymes are deactivated when you get above 120 degrees. By the time you get to 150, 160 degrees, almost all of them are completely inactivated, which is why you will not get ANY of these benefits from pasteurized milk.
• Natural butterfat, which is homogenized or removed in pasteurized milk. Without butterfat, it becomes very difficult for your body to absorb and utilize the vitamins and minerals in the water fraction of the milk. Butterfat is also your best source of preformed vitamin A.
• High omega-3 and low omega-6 ratios, which is the beneficial ratio between these two essential fats
• Good Natural Hormones: Colostrum. Colostrum is a certain kind of raw milk. Colostrum refers to the milk produced by the cow, human or any mammal for the seven weeks after they first give birth.  Colostrum is truly a super food. It is loaded with super natural pure growth hormones, souped up vitamin complex and the hardest to find trace minerals in abundance. The special fat found in colostrum manifests as a series of  hormones that boost immunity and increase all good kinds of growth, including height, muscle and cognitive development.

The Taste of Raw Milk

This is my favorite part. I love the taste of raw milk. It is exactly how I remember milk tasting as a small boy. All milk lovers are in for a special treat when they have their first glass of raw milk. It is like rediscovering milk all over again.

Where can you get Raw Milk?

Raw milk is legal to be sold in only the following states.

1. California
2. Connecticut
3. Maine
4. Pennsylvania
5. Washington
6. Arizona

If you live in the following states then the just head over to your local farmers market and you will surely see small farmers offering raw milk for sale. Check out http://www.organicpastures.com/ for more raw milk sources in your state.

Here are some questions to ask these farmers

• Do they do regular testing for pathogens? Pathogens are illness causing bacteria and organisms. The farms stock should have a low pathogen count
• Do they quickly chilled after milking ?
• Are the cows raised naturally, in accordance with the seasons ?
• Are the cows are mainly grass-fed?
• Are the cows given antibiotics and growth hormones to increase milk production? The answer better be no
• Do these farmers drink the milk themselves?
• Was this milk intended to be sold raw or was it intended to be sold for pasteurization? Always make certain the raw milk was always intended to be sold raw. This will ensure that the cows are non Genetically modified and were not given any steroids or other drugs.

Why You Never Heard about Raw Milk

The FDA has gone to war with raw milk farmers.

The Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund filed a law suit against the FDA several months ago on behalf of Raw Milk consumers in an effort to overturn the interstate ban on raw Milk movement. The FDA response was a 30 page document that reads like a facist mind control document. Basically the FDA outlines it’s mission statement and it shows us who they truly are in regards to our health.

• There is No Right to Consume or Feed Children Any Particular Food…25
• b. There is No Generalized Right to Bodily and Physical Health…26
• c. There is No Fundamental Right to Freedom of Contract…27
• 5. FDA’s Regulations Rationally Advance The Agency’s Public Health Mission

Basically the FDA is here to push pharmaceutical drugs on us and while we are invisible to them, the lobbyists of big Dairy Business are not. Pasteurization is no longer necessary. Surpluses on farmers are no longer necessary. We could actually make the system produce good healthy food and milk from non tormented and abused animals. The politics of this game are tied to money and as usual it is the consumer who suffers.

The pasteurization of milk has caused all kinds of health problems for over 50 years. Those problems are treated with pharmaceutical drugs. The cycle goes from the cows to farmers who barely survive feeding those cows for big dairy to the big dairy executives to us shopping in the aisles. Our government has gotten involved over the years more and more as more money began to be available to them from big dairy. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s just business. Unfortunately the goals of business and our health do not match up, rather they are diametrically opposed.

Big Dairy wants to use genetically modified cows to produce as much as much milk as they can. These cows are  loaded up with steroids and antibiotics to treat their unnatural illnesses from being milked far too much. The bad treatment these cows get gets passed on to their milk. The milk big dairy produces is full of pus, herbicides and the pain of sick and abused animals. Of course they demand it be bombarded with radition, which is what pastuerization is. The milk they produce is not fit to be consumed raw. Raw milk from small farmers is the alternative and it is a good one.

Want to see a Change ?

1. Stop drinking pasteurized dairy
2. Educate your friends about the milk issue
3. Support your small local farmers by switching to raw milk

Do these things and you will be separate Big Dairy Business from your life. If all your friends do it and their friends do it then we will send a real message to big dairy that they will have to listen too.

Resveratrol Red Wine Grapes and Anti Aging

Barbara Walters did a little Resveratrol Segment, for those of you who take her seriously…

There has been a great deal of talk about Resveratrol lately. Barbara Walters and various talk shows all claim it to be a fountain of youth.  I have my doubts so I begun doing research.

What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene), a compound found largely in the skins of red grapes, is a component of Ko-jo-kon, an oriental medicine used to treat diseases of the blood vessels, heart [1,2], and liver [2].  We have all heard how the French are healthier and live longer than we do and that a glass of red wine a day has health benefits. They claim to have found the active ingredient that does most of this anti-aging and they have called it Resveratrol.

Sources

While present in other plants, such as eucalyptus, spruce, and lily, and in other foods such as mulberries and peanuts, resveratrol’s most abundant natural sources are Vitis vinifera, labrusca, and muscadine grapes, which are used to make wines. It occurs in the vines, roots, seeds, and stalks, but its highest concentration is in the skin [1], which contains 50-100 micrograms (µg) per gram [4]. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a class of antibiotic compounds produced as a part of a plant’s defense system against disease [1]. For example, in response to an invading fungus, resveratrol is synthesized from p-coumaroyl CoA and malonyl CoA [2]. Since fungal infections are more common in cooler climates, grapes grown in cooler climates have a higher concentration [3].

The resveratrol content of wine is related to the length of time the grape skins are present during the fermentation process. Thus the concentration is significantly higher in red wine than in white wine, because the skins are removed earlier during white-wine production, lessening the amount that is extracted [3]. Grape juice, which is not a fermented beverage, is not a significant source of resveratrol. A fluid ounce of red wine averages 160 µg of resveratrol, compared to peanuts, which average 73 µg per ounce [6]. Since wine is the most notable dietary source, it is the object of much speculation and research.

Resveratrol is also available from supplement pills and liquids, in which it is sometimes combined with vitamins and/or other ingredients. It is also an ingredient in topical skin creams. The supplements are generally labeled as containing from 20 to 500 mg per tablet or capsule. However, the purity of these products is unknown. And, because dietary supplements are loosely regulated, it should not be assumed that the labeled dosage is accurate.

Dr. Oz Also did a piece on Resveratrol.

Resveratrol History

Resveratrol came to scientific attention during the mid-1990s as a possible explanation for the “French Paradox”—the low incidence of heart disease among the French people, who eat a relatively high-fat diet [3]. Since then, it has been touted by manufacturers and examined by scientific researchers as an antioxidant [4], an anti-cancer agent, and a phytoestrogen [5]. It has also been advertised on the Internet as “The French Paradox in a bottle.” One company even markets a red-wine extract antioxidant product called “French Parad’ox.”

What they claim resveratrol can do.

Recently, scientists have discovered that in high doses resveratrol activates our body’s own natural anti-aging genes. As a result, resveratrol has shown incredible potential for preventing all types of age-related problems from illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, alzheimer’s, cancer and osteoporosis to gaining beauty benefits such as reducing wrinkles, burning fat and increasing energy levels.

Resveratrol Benefits (*not completely, or at all, verified by scientific studies. More like not at all really.)

• Activates cellular regeneration
• Superior protection for the heart
• May reduce the risk of cancer
• May reduce the risk of diabetes
• Increases energy levels
• Excellent fat burning supplement

“Anti-Aging” Effect

Recent studies in laboratory mice have found increased survival and lower incidence of several diseases and conditions associated with aging, but the results are contradictory. Protective effects have been found in mice fed a high-fat or a low-calorie diet, but one study found that mice fed a standard diet beginning at age 12 months did not live longer [15-17]. One of the studies was reported in a New York Times article which described how a researcher was taking resveratrol himself and had founded Sirtris Pharmaceuticals to develop chemicals that mimic the role of resveratrol but at much lower doses [18]. GlaxoSmithKline acquired Sirtris for $720 million in 2007 and hopes to develop “drugs that target the sirtiuns, a recently discovered family of seven enzymes associated with the aging process.” [19]

After reviewing the animal studies, the highly respected Medical Letter concluded: “Resveratrol appears to produce some of the same effects as calorie-restricted diets that have reduced the incidence of age-related diseases in animals. Whether it has any benefit in humans remains to be established.” [20]

Why all the Hype about Resveratrol?

The simple reason is that people feel they can profit off of it as the next big weight loss fad. Naturally the media will follow suit and give this coverage. The next thing you know people are ordering Resveratrol Pills by the boat load, wasting their time and money.

Caution Is Advisable

Although laboratory tests have demonstrated that resveratrol might help prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer, there are several reasons why a population-wide increase would be premature.

• The research on resveratrol has focused on its short-term effects and has been dominated by in vitro (laboratory) studies on non-human models.
• Not enough is known about the absorption and clearance of resveratrol, the identities of its metabolic products, or its effects on the liver.
• Resveratrol’s role as a potentiator of breast carcinomas may significantly limit its use.
• Its main dietary source is red wine. Not only is its concentration in wine extremely variable, but recommending increased consumption of red wine to boost resveratrol intake could certainly do more harm than good. In spite of any beneficial aspects, red wine and other alcoholic beverages pose health risks that include liver damage and physical addiction. While taking resveratrol pills is certainly safer than heavy wine consumption, supplementing with unproven substances is generally unwise. At this point, occasional use of red wine seems far more prudent.

Final Word on Resveratrol as an Anti Ageing and Weight Loss Supplement

Save your money and don’t buy the hype. Barbara Walter and Oprah don’t know a damn thing, if they did they would look a bit differently. Resveratrol is just snake oil.

*** WARNING *** Please remember that there are NO SHORTCUTS! you must learn how to eat right first and then apply the discipline to do so. No pill can ever do that!

These are the most popular Resveratrol products available on the internet.

Coconut Water …

• Is 100% sterile
• Hydrates you faster than water or any other fluid on earth
• Has a fresh and sweet natural taste
• More Nutritious than whole milk – Less fat, NO cholesterol and it has lauric acid which is found in human mothers milk
• The nurturing lauric acid and the hydrating effects of coconut water make it the ultimate natural anti aging drink.

Coconuts are simply a gift from nature. I have one every morning in my morning smoothie. I have another one right after my workout just by itself like Baby Ray is enjoying above. It is an amazingly tasty reward and I can just feel it hydrating my body.

Making coconuts a part of your daily intake will insure you will lose weight. It is even more satisfying to know that they taste so amazingly good. Too often we turn to food to satisfy our oral fixations. Women are especially vulnerable to this, they use food to soothe themselves. Almost 100% of the time when we turn to food with such emotion we are not really hungry, we just want to put something in our mouth. Water is not enough because our minds have been programmed to think that water cannot satisfy our emotional hunger.

Hydration & Coconut Water

Coconut water is a secret of hydration and hydration is the key to curbing your appetite. When you can turn to a delicious sweet tasting and nutritious drink instead of food, you start to reprogram your mind to eat only when hungry. The other major effect is that the coconut water will hydrate your body better than anything else. The magic here is that being well hydrated makes you far less hungry, thus the next time you eat will be when you are actually hungry and you will eat far less than you would have because being hydrated will moderate your appetite.

Coconut water VS  most sports drinks ( based on a 100ml sample )

• Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks.
• Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200 mg!
• Coconut water has only 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.

Coconuts Tips

• Always look for coconuts still closed, like the drawing above.
• South East Asian Coconuts are the best
• Cook all your meals with Coconut Oil / Butter. It is my favorite cooking oil.

What do the Experts think

• “Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue… and is the next wave of energy drinks BUT natural!”,  -Mortin Satin, Chielf of the United Nation’s Food & Agriculture Organization.
• “The research over four decades concerning coconut oil in the diet and heart disease is quite clear: coconut oil has been shown to be beneficial.” - Dr. Mary Enig  ( For further reading: Mary G. Enig, Coconut: In Support of Good Health in the 21st Century )

More Coconut Facts

• Coconut water hydrates us faster than any other fluid on earth.  The water is  a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood plasma.
• Here is a little secret about hydration, when your urine gets bubbly you know you are well hydrated, only coconuts do that.
• Coconut water is completely sterile. It takes a coconut anywhere from 8 months to a year to mature. The entire time water is being filtered through the husk which sterilizes it.
• Coconut water being sterile and a near perfect match for our blood was used during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water – siphoned directly from the nut – to give emergency plasma trasfusions to wounded soldiers.
• Nearly 50% of the fatty acid in natural coconut oil is lauric acid, which converts to the fatty acid monolaurin in the body. Lauric acid has adverse effects on a variety of microorganisms including bacteria, yeast, fungi, and enveloped viruses. It destroys the lipid membrane of such enveloped viruses as HIV, measles, Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), influenza and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Its usefulness in treating AIDS is currently under investigation. It is a main component of human breast milk and helps protect children from illness during infancy.
• The English word Coconut comes from Spanish and Portugese word coco, which means “monkey face.” Spanish and Portugese explorers found a resemblance to a monkey’s face in the three round indented markings or “eyes” found at the base of the coconut.
• On the Nicobar Islands of the Indian Ocean, whole coconuts were used as currency for the purchace of goods until the early part of the twentieth century.
• In Sanskrit, the coconut palm is known as kalpa vriksha, meaning “tree which gives all that is necessary for living,” since nearly all parts of the tree can be used in some manner or another.
• Coconuts are not actually nuts, but seeds.
• Coconuts are the largest known seeds on Earth.

I get asked about this alot. Here are some of the questions I have gotten via email and word of mouth.

• Q: Isn’t HGH a steroid used by cheating short stops and line backers?
  A: NO. HGH is a hormone but not a steroid.
• Q: Is HGH legal?
  A: NO, not without a prescription. If you get caught with HGH it is like being caught with cocaine!
• Q: Then what about all those HGH products I see on the net? Aren’t they legal?
  A: Those products that say they are HGH are legal but they do not work and they are not really HGH! These fake HGH products are pills that claim to be real HGH or to promote higher HGH production by the body. REAL HGH is a complex protein and if taken as a pill in oral form, it will never reach your body’s cell’s as your liver and digestive system will destroy it before it can do any good.
• Q: What is real HGH?
  A: Real HGH is given as an inject-able shot, usually into the fat of your stomach. This is the only REAL effective HGH and you must have a prescription, otherwise it is illegal. You can only get this HGH from your doctor or the black-market.
• Q: Does the real HGH work?
  A: A BIG YES! Real inject-able HGH works miracles. There is a reason why all these rich athletes use it. The bodybuilding industry and been using it for decades.

• Q: How do I buy growth hormone?
  A: It is not legal! If you are over 55 then try asking your doctor for some, about 2 IU’s a day will do wonders!
