5 Day Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse with Ortho Phos

noreply@blogger.com (Grandma's Herbs) — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:53:00 +0000

5 Day Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse with Ortho Phos

Most health problems start with a toxic bowel. Any toxic waste left in the bowel can be absorbed back into the blood stream. These toxins affect every system and organ of the body. Many times they overload the liver and gallbladder causing gall stones. It is so important to cleanse the inside of our bodies! (Cleanse works best if you can time day 6 to be a weekend or day off).

What you will need for cleanse: 1 bottle of Grandma’s Herbs SUPER LAX, 2 bottles of ORTHO PHOS, 3 quarts of high quality, unsweetened apple juice, 1 lemon, olive oil and coke (optional).

DAY 1 - Eat your normal 3 meals, (meals should consist of mainly vegetables, avoid heavy meats, breads, pasta, sugary food and carbonated drinks). Along with your meals drink one quart of high grade apple juice, unsweetened, throughout the day. Take one capsule of Grandma’s Herbs SUPER LAX before bed.

DAY 2 - Eat normal meals as instructed in day one. Add 1/2 oz. of Ortho Phos to one quart of apple juice. Drink this combination throughout the day. Take 2 SUPER LAX capsules before bed. (If you experience bad cramping or watery diarrhea stay with 1 SUPER LAX).

DAY 3 - Eat normal meals as the first two days instructed. Add 1/2 oz. of Ortho Phos to one quart of apple juice. Drink this combination throughout the day. Take 3 SUPER LAX capsules before bed. (Again if you experience bad cramping or watery diarrhea take the amount that you are comfortable with).

DAY 4 - Eat normal meals as you have been instructed. Add 1/2 oz. of Ortho Phos to one quart of apple juice. Drink this throughout the day. That evening take 4 SUPER LAX capsules before bed. (Again if you experience bad cramping or watery diarrhea take the amount that you are comfortable with).

DAY 5 ( A Friday or Sunday works best) - Eat normal meals as you have been instructed. Add 1/2 oz. of Ortho Phos to one quart of apple juice. Drink this throughout the day. After your evening meal and about an hour before bed, take one cup of olive oil, the juice of one fresh squeezed lemon and one cup of coca cola (coke is optional, it covers the taste of the oil. Or you can keep the lemon rind handy to chew on to cut the oil taste). Mix the oil, lemon juice and coke together and drink quickly. (Sipping it will prolong the process, but do what works best!) After drinking all of the mixture, lie on your right side for 30 to 45 minutes, with your knees pulled up to your chest. Because of the oil, the gallbladder will spasm and expel all of its contents including the bile and stones. An hour after taking the olive oil mixture you should take 3 SUPER LAX capsules. This will clean all the bile and stones out of the colon. In the morning and through out the day eat light meals of fruits and veggies. When your bowel empties you should see many green stones floating in the olive oil. Shortly after all of the stones and bile should be out of the colon and everything should be back to normal.

If nausea occurs: Taking one hydrochloric acid tablet at bedtime will reduce any nausea during the night. If you have a tendency to get nauseated from oil, take 2 tablespoons of Aloe Vera juice after your dose of oil and citrus juice. Placing a hot water bottle over the liver area (under the right ribcage) during the night also helps relieve nausea and soreness.

Note: One should not be frightened by the above references to nausea/soreness. Chances are that the symptoms won’t be severe enough to cause such discomfort as this happens rarely. Many people complete this cleanse with minimal discomfort and nearly everyone feels better after completing it.

Adding Epsom Salt: This is to be done on day 5 only. Dissolve 1 tsp. Epsom salts in an 8 oz. glass of lukewarm distilled water. Drink after breakfast. Mix and drink an additional 8 oz. glass of Epsom salt and distilled water at 1:00 pm and another at 8:oo pm, for a total of three glasses full.

The Skinny on the "Fats"

noreply@blogger.com (Grandma's Herbs) — Thu, 19 May 2011 21:56:00 +0000

The Skinny on the “Fats”

When it comes to deciding what to eat, if you are like me, you want important information put in simple easy to follow terms. I find that the whole unsaturated/saturated & trans fats found in food can trip me up sometimes. I know that one’s good, one’s bad, and one should be limited. Understanding which is which and why and then, what foods have which in it is exhausting, not to mention confusing! Hopefully this article will give you the information you need to get skinny from the right fats.

1. Monounsaturated fatty acid (also known as MUFA, which I will refer to from here on out because it is catchy and cute) is the “good” and healthy fatty acid. Why? MUFAs are the healthy oils found in many plant foods. They are packed with nutrients, and they fill you up fast (and keep you full longer), and they are delicious! It stands to reason that having a MUFA with each meal would be very beneficial and can actually help you loose weight. Lets break it down to 5 easy categories.

1. Oils - Plant based oils are an important part of a healthy diet. Approximately 1 Tablespoon = 100 calories, which is recommended with each meal. Don’t let that scare you, remember these are healthy fats and the calories are easily used up by the body. Here is the list of healthy oils:

Olive oil - Canola oil - Refined peanut oil - Sesame oil - High-oleic safflower and sunflower oils - Walnut oil and Flaxseed oil

2. Nuts & Seeds - These are a great MUFA source and are packed with protein and flavor. They are also a healthy, practical and portable snack! Since most nuts are high in salt, I recommend you buy the unsalted for optimal health. You might be surprised by their great taste without all the salt! Approximately 2 Tablespoons = 100 calories. Here is your recommended list:

Almonds - Brazil nuts - Cashews - Hazelnuts - Macadamia nuts - Pecans - Pine nuts -

Pistachios - Walnuts, Peanuts and Sunflower seeds (shelled)

3. Avocados - This super-creamy fruit is packed with MUFA but is also high in cancer fighting carotenoids. Adding avocado to any meal is super easy, not to mention tasty! 1/4 Cup of avocado = 100 calories.

4. Olives - These small, tasty gems are not only full of MUFAs but also rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cell membranes and reduces inflammation. From black, green, brown, Spanish, Greek and California the variety makes it easy to incorporate them into any meal. The calories are a little trickier in olives because it varies with each source. Close as I can tell about 15 to 20 large olives = approximately 100 calories.

5. DARK CHOCOLATE - I had to capitalize it because this is my favorite MUFA! Chocolate good for you? You bet! Dark chocolate is rich in MUFA and if consumed in reasonable quantities (yawn) it is actually healthy for you. 2 Tablespoons = 100 calories.

2. Saturated fatty acid raises levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) in your blood and, in turn increases your risk of heart attack or stroke. This fatty acid should be “limited” in your diet to no more than 4 grams per meal. Animal products, like meat and dairy products, are the main sources of saturated fat, however tropical oils such as coconut oil, palm oil and cocoa butter are also high in saturated fat. Limiting these foods in your diet is not very fun, but limiting is better than banning!

3. Trans fats, like saturated fat, increases LDL levels in your blood. But that’s not all. Trans fat also lowers levels of HDL (good cholesterol), which helps keep blood vessels clear, making trans fat a really bad fat that should be “banned” from your diet! Trans fat is produced when hydrogen is added to liquid oils to make them solid, and it is found mostly in packaged products. Because manufacturers are allowed to claim zero trans fat for any food actually containing up to half a gram per serving, it is important to identify trans fats in the ingredients list. Look for the words hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated, and shortening. If you spot these terms in the list, put that food down and back away, there are plenty of good foods with out it!

Well hopefully this is helpful and healthful for you. I have found that being careful and watchful of my fatty intake has been a great benefit to my overall health and weight control. Adding the good MUFAs into each of my meals has given me more energy, I stay full longer and don’t need to snack between meals.

The Healing Power of Alfalfa

noreply@blogger.com (Grandma's Herbs) — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:32:00 +0000

Alfalfa

I love all of the old time stories of how natural herbal remedies effectively helped so many people with common issues we deal with today. They had the patience and understanding of healing time, and allowing the body to do what it is so miraculously designed to do. They knew that using herbs would most often give the body what it needs to heal and strengthen itself.

Interestingly enough we have all of the same natural healing choices today, with one added exception. Today we are constantly told that natural remedies don’t work and that in order to get better we need the altered, super strengthened, time-released chemical, and don’t forget addicting, prescription drugs is the only answer to what ails us. We have become impatient with nature and the bodies needed healing time. Below is one of those old time stories of a Grandmother on my husbands side, along with her take and feelings of the herb Alfalfa.

“During the depression years Pa was laid off from his job working at the Mill. It was probably for the best because he coughed a lot and his chest constantly hurt. He was weak and didn’t have much of an appetite. Since he was no longer employed, there was no money to go to a doctor. He was pretty sure, like many others, he had tuberculosis. Ma was afraid he was going to die.

Pa’s old maid sister, Aunt Afton, came to live with us. She said it wasn’t just the smoke and fumes making Pa sick it was him not eating right, fresh fruits and vegetable and the like. Next day she came in with a flour sack full of fresh alfalfa hay. She put on a big pot of water and brewed him up some alfalfa tea to drink. Now Pa didn’t cotton much to the idea of drinking tea instead of his coffee, but he did it anyway. After a bit his cough and aches were gone and his appetite returned. Pa was on the mend and was now able to go out and look for work.”

Important Facts About Alfalfa

· Alfalfa is one of the best sources of calcium there is, and is so easy for the body to assimilate.

· It contains about 8,000 I.U.s of vitamin A per on hundred grams, and that’s a lot.

· It is also rich in vitamin E, which makes it good for the heart and good for the muscles.

· It is an excellent source of vitamin K, ranking close to spinach, kale or carrot tops.

· Alfalfa is also a good source of B6 which helps the nerves and brain.

· And surprisingly enough Alfalfa is loaded with protein. Here are a few comparisons from a health periodical on protein: Alfalfa is 18.9% protein, milk is only 3.3%, whole wheat is 13.8%, and beef is 16.5%.

· Alfalfa is a tremendous alkalizer, which makes it beneficial to the kidneys and bladder, and to those who suffer from indigestion.

· It has the eight essential enzymes that are necessary for digestion.

· It is also rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorous, chlorine, silicon, sulfur, sodium and many other minerals!

Aunt Afton said, “if you could have just one herb to improve your over all health, it would be alfalfa”.
