ways to keep the Doctor away

This is a first in a short series of things you can do for yourself to keep your body in a state of health. It is my personal belief (and lots of people share the same view) that if your body is balanced and in a state of health, YOU CANNOT GET SICK.

The first step is to Alkalize yourself. Cancer and other nasty little critters cannot survive in a body that is alkaline, they thrive in an acid state. One easy way to start your day and help to alkalize your body is to squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a glass of water (perferably purified water) and drink it. Half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water will also alkalize your body, you may not want to do the baking soda too much though because of the aluminum in it which has been linked to Alzheimers. A GREAT way to keep your body alkalized is to get some powdered "green drink" of some kind. This is usually powdered wheat grass juice or barley grass juice, sometimes a combination of the two. You simply put a teaspoon or so (depending on the brand) into water and drink through out the day. Both wheatgrass and barely grass are chock full of vitamins and minerals and will give you energy as well.

Here is a list of alkaline foods: figs, bananas, prunes, raisins, dates, avocado, grapes, pears, potatoes, molasses, coconut, all melons, celery, spinach, chard, chinese lettuce, beets, okra, parsley, green peppers, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, mustard greens, cucumbers, string beans, greens peas, sweet peas, sweet corn, bean sprouts, radishes, carrots watercress, pumpkin, squash.

these are acid forming foods (they make you acid when you eat them) : all grain products, white sugar, all meats, animal fats, butter, cream, eggs, sea foods, most nuts, dry beans, dry peas, most oils, lentils.

the following are acid food that turn alkaline when digested: all berries, pomeganates, grapefruit, persimmon, pineapple, currants, cherries, oranges, cumquats, peaches, apricots, quince, lemons, apples melons, other fruits.

Its difficult at best for a lot us in todays society to eat a high alkaline diet. Get yourself some green drink at a health food store and switch from drinking soda throughout the day to drinking "green" throughout the day. You'll feel better and your body will thank you for it.

Lemon's an Acid

yes it is, and it turns alkaline once it is digested in the body. acid outside the body, alkaline in the body.

I've know for a long time that if you take GOOD QUALITY supplements while going through chemo you won't lose your hair. Since the chemo basically kills everything in your body, if you replace them you should go through it a lot better and healthier. Evidently, there are a lot vitamins in pickle juice. The only thing I've ever heard pickle juice is good for is getting the THC out of your body before a drug test. Seriously! I wouldn't know personally, I never had the need. Thank you for the feedback, I'm going to try to post some more today.

Yeah the smoking thing has got to go!

I want something natural, even though I tried the Chantix and it actually worked. I did not have one craving for a cigarette, but you have to increase the dosage every week. As soon as I increased the dosage I was literally running to the bathroom projectile vomiting. So that stuff must be like poison. I was too sick to smoke. My doctor told me to stay on the lowest dose then, but now I am afraid of it.

Smoking is psychological addiction as well as physical. I believe it only takes three days to get the nicotine out of the system, but the brain craves the stimulant I guess. I don't know! I get sleepy when I quit too.

If I knew of a way I would have quit smoking a long time ago. You might try EFT. Almost the only time I smoke is when I'm driving and its difficult to tap while your driving. Clove is supposed to help with cravings I believe. Get some clove essential oil and put a drop on your tongue or just buy some whole cloves and suck or chew on them I guess. I did a google search a while back and there was a product called Nicocure I think it was. Its all natural and scored really high in an independant test. I haven't had the money to buy any yet. If all else fails, grit your teeth, suck it up and go cold turkey. The gov. is trying to pass a bill to tack on another dollar per pack tax to pay for childrens health care. That might help you quit, I think it'll help me!!

Eat an apple a day.

Heh, apples won't do anything for eyesight! It doesn't contain Vitamin A, now carrots and liver on the other hand...

"Can I have ham and pickle juice please?"

"WHAAAAAAT? Pickle Juice? PICKLE JUICE??????? Ok, here you go."

FOR SPARTA!
