Hello Fellow Health Seekers:

I‘m thrilled to report that my 5-Day Raw Food Detox retreat was an amazing success! Dr Gellman did pre and post assessments measuring body fat and water compositions as well as Vedic testing and Iridology and the results clearly showed vast improvements in only 5 days of juicing and raw food. A host of other detox modalities implemented included: infrared sauna, detox baths, micro clustered healthy Kangen water to name a few. The next 5-Day Raw Food Detox Cleansing Program is scheduled for August; a date will be confirmed shortly. I know this will be completly booked, so if you are at all interested, please email me so I can put you on the priority list. Below is an article Dr Gellman wrote explaining the different tests and their significance and some stats from the participants.

 Results from 5 day Detox with Alexi Bracey

 I am constantly hearing women at the gym complaining that their weight has gone up. Don’t they realize muscle weighs more than fat!

 I wish regular scales would be outlawed. They discourage individuals who are working hard on their health and working out and eating well regularly.

I was invited to evaluate the participants pre the detox 5-day program.           Their particular details were checked for:

Weight, muscle, fat, Intercellular fluid, extra cellular fluid, over all healthy water.

They were evaluated on the last day of the detox program to see the results. They were absolutely amazed to see their weight loss, fat loss and they actually increased in muscle mass!

To understand intercellular and extracellular fluid:                                Extracellular fluid measures water retention (more common to women than men) You may be slim but still feel puffed.

Intercellular fluid is the healthy fluid. Your intracellular fluid should be 40% (btw, that’s the fluids that are contained by cell membranes, ie, your muscles, adipose tissue, platelets, blood cells, etc). Your extracellular fluid should be 20%. That’s the plasma that everything else floats around in. If your EF level is high, that means you’re retaining fluid, and it might be that your kidney’s aren’t functioning optimally for some reason (could be infection, hormonal, salt, or meds).

To protect the confidentially of the participants we are only reporting the final number when all the results for each category are added and averaged out.

Total body weight for the group was a loss of 4.24 pounds

 Body fat went down for the group by 2.2 %

 Healthy water went up 2.2 %

 Muscle went up 3 pounds per person

 Extra cellular fluid improved by 9%

Intracellular fluid improved by 16%

Lets us look at why?

The detox cleanse consisted of 2 days of juicing followed by 3 days of raw foods to reintegrate food back which allowed the body to rid itself of accumulated waste in the small and large intestine. The liver and kidney got a break and cleansed.

 All this cleansing further cleansed the lymphatic system.

They were removed from their busy lives so allowed the body to relax and go to that great place know as parasympathetic nervous system (Daily use of the Chi Machine helped here). Our digestive system only works when we rest, relax and digest.

The particiapnats stayed in a beautiful home in the woods,(very serene) breathed in fresh air, saw the stars at night, and experienced a  healing massage on the outside private deck.  

Visually: clear eyes, radiant and glowing complexions, no aches or pains, better sleep and a more relaxed attitude, and most importantly set goals on how to maintain a new and better health lifestyle.(and they are still following the suggested protocol)

I have to comment on Angelina Jolie’s double mastectomy. I was going to write a tongue and cheek article “Looking for a MD who will Remove a Man’s Testicles as a Preventative Measure against Cancer” Guess what? There is at least one male who has done this, see the article below. Angelina Jolie has been duped my Big Paharma. If you carry the gene for ovarian or breast cancer, you can implement a Nutritional and Wellness Program (which Angelina failed to mention) to minimize and probably eliminate your chances of contracting cancer. So, Angelina has selected a double mastectomy as a preventative measure eating the same way as before, Do you not think that another form of cancer will find its way into her body.

4) What’s So Important About Magnesium?

It Enables REgeneration to Exceed DEgeneration

Courtesywww.life-enthusiast.com
(I have used this companies products including the magnesium oil for years. I highly recommend them)

Magnesium is the most under-appreciated mineral your body requires for cellular health. It soothes your nervous system (providing deeper rest). It fires up the repair, rest and digest side of your nervous system, allowing you to sleep well and stay calm, and avoid anxiety, restless legs, muscle cramps, and twitches.

And is essential for the production of amino acids that are critical for virtually every chemical reaction in your body.

Restore vital magnesium and you enable cellular regeneration to exceed degeneration.

Why Supplement Magnesium?

There is a documented epidemic of magnesium deficiency in America, and yet the medical industry is trying to deal with it using drugs instead of effective supplements.

Because the food that is grown on our depleted soils no longer contains enough magnesium to sustain you in a healthy state.

Our soils have been seriously depleted of magnesium, and industrial agriculture practices are making things worse. Many diseases are related to magnesium deficiency.

How do you know there is an epidemic of magnesium deficiency taking place?
Let me list some of the symptoms:

• road rage (instability, quick to anger)
• restless leg syndrome (twitchy nervous behaviors)
• high blood pressure
• arthritis
• diabetes
• tooth cavities
• sleep disorders
• cramps
• migraines
• panic attacks
• depression

Have you seen any of this around you lately?

When you restore vital magnesium to your body, you enable cellular regeneration to exceed degeneration. That means you can reverse the symptoms, even if they are labeled “there is no cure for… ”

Eating Magnesium Supplements Does Not Work

Advertisements about oral magnesium supplements may lead you to believe that regular oral supplementation will fix a magnesium deficiency. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.

Taking oral magnesium supplements only causes a bowel flush – your body cannot absorb it, nor pass it into your cells.

And food sources have inadequate magnesium because our soils – therefore our foods too – have been seriously depleted of this mineral by industrial farming practices. Our food today contains only about 30% of the minerals it did 100 years ago.  

Best Way to Absorb Magnesium… Through Your Skin!

Effective absorption of magnesium can be done through your skin – your body’s largest organ.

Bathing in Magnesium Crystals is a relaxing, convenient and cost effective way to restore your magnesium.

And a foot bath is just as effective. Both ways are relaxing and rejuvenating.

Prove it to yourself – use Magnesium Bath Crystals for just two weeks, time enough to show how much this simple mineral can improve your life.

Absorb vital magnesium into your cells and experience living well again.

Magnesium Crystals are the concentrated the form of magnesium that is the keystone of cellular regeneration. We call it the “Fountain of Youth”. Only 1/4 cup in your bath every day.

Magnesium with Energized Water…
For Even Better Absorption

If you’d like more concentrated effects, try Magnesium Gel or Magnesium Oil.
They’re delivered through your skin with Energized Water.

Both Magnesium Gel and Magnesium Oil use Energized Water to deliver magnesium through your skin and into your cells – for immediate absorption. An excellent means for your body to absorb critically needed magnesium and essential moisture, for cellular regeneration.

You can reverse aging by stimulating regeneration!

Apply either Magnesium Oil or Magnesium Gel onto any area of concern, as often as desired, to enhance your well-being.

Magnesium Oil is also a magnificent dental aid.
It can whiten your smile by rebuilding the mineral levels in your teeth.

Let me share some comments from users of Magnesium Oil:

“The magnesium is the best thing that has happened to me. I take daily baths and come out feeling like a million dollars. It melts the tension away better than any product I have ever used. I completely submerge myself in the bath allowing my hair to soak in it as well. The color is changing, the slight graying is disappearing. Although not for everyone, while submerged I do some meditation. While under water you block out the world and the magnesium relaxes you and puts you in a perfect state of balance and peace. If you could bottle this state of euphoria you could make a million dollars. Enjoy!!”
~ Victoria

“I have been seeing my cardiologist for 6 years due to long standing heart problems. He has been trying to get my blood pressure and cholesterol down. My blood pressure would often shoot up suddenly and I would get chills and shake all over. After little over two months with Magnesium Oil the erratic blood pressure and the chills have decreased dramatically. Another major change is that the scratchy eyes that tormented me due to deposits of a heart medicine have cleared up.”

“My blood pressure was normal. My cholesterol was remarkable, as the doctor put it. At the end of his examination, he said, “You obviously look much healthier, but you also appear younger.” ~ Lynn

The Magnesium to Calcium Ratio

The ratio between magnesium and calcium is very important, when dealing with the cause and prevention of a number of disorders, including cardiovascular health, heart disease and high blood pressure.

The absorption and metabolism of magnesium depends upon calcium intake, and vice versa. Therefore, the balance between these two minerals is especially important. In view of the overwhelming benefits of magnesium, the traditional ratio of approximately 2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium needs to be revised. The ideal ratio for most people’s needs is equal amounts of calcium and magnesium. If calcium consumption is high, then magnesium intake also needs to be high.

The Problem for Milk Drinkers…
Since calcium and magnesium depend on each other to be assimilated into your body, they should never be taken imbalanced. Milk has a ratio of about 8 calcium to 1 magnesium, causing a problem for milk drinkers. The high calcium intake can cause a magnesium deficiency, creating ill health.

Magnesium regulates the entrance and utilization of calcium in the cells. Without magnesium, calcium remains in the body unused. This will result in calcium deposits in the joints (aggravating arthritis), gallstones, kidney stones, and in extreme cases calcification of the brain and other body organs. This, in turn, results in loss of memory and loss of ability to reason and eventually the termination of life. All of these conditions have frequently been known to disappear after taking extra magnesium.

Again, magnesium and calcium must be in the correct proportions, otherwise the calcium becomes a pollutant in your body. The rule is “never take calcium without magnesium”.

Calcium depends on magnesium for assimilation, but magnesium does not require calcium in order to function. In fact, in many cases, magnesium taken on its own without any calcium will help you become more energetic, stronger, and give you a multitude of other benefits, all as a result of the magnesium being present to balance the overabundance of calcium.

Effects of Magnesium Deficiency

Eighty percent – or more – of our population is deficient in magnesium, including many who take supplements regularly.

Many debilitating and life threatening diseases are associated with magnesium deficiencies: heart problems, strokes, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, migraine headaches, asthma, premenstrual syndrome, attention deficit disorder, anorexia & bulimia, fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue syndrome, depression – and this is not the complete list!

To prevent the risk of short term health problems, your body will draw both calcium and magnesium out of storage from your bones, to maintain the acid-alkaline balance in your bodily fluids. To restore your bones, you must alkalize your pH and provide an abundant supply of magnesium – in an effective form… like our Magnesium Bath Crystals.

Check out all our wonderful Magnesium Products.

Hello fellow Health Seekers:

Spring is the time to restore, optimize and revitalize you, your health, your diet, your home, your car and perhaps your friends. I hope you consider my 5 Day Raw Food Detox Retreat…there are a few spots still available. You will feel and look  energized when you leave, this I can promise you!

1) Free Food Revolution Summit online

 2) Insect Juice in my Frappucino??

 3) Kindengardner kicked out of school for no vaccine?

 4) Coconut Oil Helps Alzheimers

 5) Eliminate toxins and stop poisoning your body

1) Don’t miss the John Robbins Food Revolution Summit! (Begins this Saturday…)
http://www.naturalnews.com/040028_John_Robbins_Food_Revolution_summit.html

2) How Something Natural Can be so Gross(courtesy Alternative Daily and Fox News)

It is important to understand that just because natural flavors come from something natural, does not necessarily make them healthy. For instance, strawberry flavor does not always come from strawberries or blueberry flavor from blueberries. Cystine is a natural conditioner used in dough that is made from duck feathers and human hair. Maltodextrin, made from genetically-modified corn and the main ingredient in some “all-natural” sweeteners like stevia , is also considered natural.

What about natural flavoring that is made from the anal secretions of beavers? Castoreum is a substance found in the castor sacs of both male and female beavers. This aromatic liquid is mixed with urine and used  for territorial marking. It is also used by the food flavoring industry with regularity. In fact, an overwhelming majority of raspberry flavored foods are made from these secretions. Foods such as ice cream, fruity drinks, yogurt, candy and tea may contain these secretions which the FDA claim are completely safe. What about the glaze used on donuts and hard candy? This is made from the feces of the female lac bug – for real.

Mad Science

Both artificial and natural flavorings are concocted in a laboratory by blending a variety of ingredients together. According to Gary Reineccius, a food and science nutrition professor at the University of Minnesota, artificial flavorings are simpler, cheaper and easier to produce than natural flavorings, so foods that contain natural flavors are often more expensive. However, more expensive does not mean healthy or safe. Although they may make up less than 5% of the food ingredients, both artificial and natural flavorings are created to hijack the brain – to encourage us to want more and more and to become food “junkies”.

(Beetle Juice which contain the ground up shell, known as carmine or carminic acid is found in fruit juices (Ocean Spray-grapefruit and cranberry), gelatins, strawberry flavourings, candies, yogurts shampoos, clothing dyes and more. (Sarbucks Frappucino anyone???

Duck feathers are often packed into our favorite processed breads in the form of L-cysteine, an agent used as a dough softener.  It’s in bagels, cookie dough, bread, pies and more.
A lot of cheese is made with rennet, which contains an enzyme extracted from the fourth stomach of newborn calves. Rennet is used as a cheese curdler, sometimes in tandem with another enzyme called pepsin, which is extracted from stomach glands of hogs.  

 Minimize any man made foods, especially those with added colourings, and read your labels. Buy Foods with the Kosher label to be safe)

3) Kindengardner Kicked Out of School for Not Getting Vaccinated?

4) Coconut oil helps Alzheimer’s patients:
http://www.naturalnews.com/040037_coconut_oil_alzheimers_disease_saturated_fats.html

5) Eliminate toxins and stop poisoning your body.

The most common toxic inputs are:

• refined foods (sugar, flour, table salt, oil

• bad, rancid fats (fried food, margarine, hydrogenated oils)
• stimulants (MSG, aspartame, food coloring, caffeine, nicotine, etc.)
• electromagnetic chaos (electrosmog)
• drugs (illegal, over the counter, prescription)
• sleep deprivation
• heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides

 In case you’re wondering…
Should you be completely cleansed before you introduce proper nourishment?
Only if you want to starve… you need to feed your body, and the sooner you start with good quality nutrients, the better.

To Sum It All Up…

The quality of your health is determined by the balance between your…
intake (and absorption) of nutrients AND elimination of toxins.

And the good news is…below is what you will experience as part of the 5 Day Raw Food Detox Retreat.

Be prepared to learn a great deal about your body composition!

Alex Gellman, PhD., Homeopath and Iridologist, will evaluate your body composition at the beginning of the Raw Food Healing retreat, using Bioimpedance analysis (BIA). BIA has become a widely accepted method for determining body composition in healthy populations, due to its simplicity, speed and noninvasive nature. This instrument will measure total healthy water, water outside the cells (lymphedema) that leads to feeling puffy (and is very common in women from the waist to the knees), and total muscle and total body fat.

Your BIA information will be graphed to follow your progress from the beginning to the end of the retreat. In the case of lack of progress Alexandra will offer insights as to why the expected results did not materialize.

You may initially not like what your BIA reveals, but you do have the power to change. It is important to remember that food is only one of the five contributors that determine your body composition. The other four are:

1.    how you handle emotions

2.    hormonal levels in the body

3.    hereditary predispositions

4.    whether the liver is overburdened in its job of detoxifying – The liver can be hampered by alcohol and drug consumption and the liver also works to clear toxins absorbed from many household cleaners and feminine grooming products such as nail polish, hair colour, cleansers and make up. Let us clean up our liver this spring – emotionally and physically !

Since Passover and Easter has everyone focusing on their relevant religious gatherings, I have extended the deadline for the $300 discount to

Thursday, April 4, 2013 at midnight.

May I suggest that you consider this Detox Retreat t as an investment in your health.

Once more, here is the information:

5) Does Stress Cause Cancer? Courtesy Cancer is Curable Now

Our body is very vulnerable to chronic stress. Having the ability to learn how to bring your emotions back into balance helps you to because we get used to it. We quite often feel normal even in worst conditions. We do not notice how much this stress affects our health, even as it takes a heavy toll.

STRESS is PROVEN to CAUSE CANCER

Studies lead by Dwayne Jackson of at the Departments of Medical Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering  in 2011 have identified a particular neurotransmitter released in response to stress, that stimulates both cancer cell growth and migration in breast cancer, and other studies confirm this.
Neuropeptide Y stimulates proliferation and migration in the 4T1 breast cancer cell line. International Journal of Cancer, 2011; DOI:  10.1002/ijc.26350
Stress fuels breast cancer metastasis to bone. ScienceDaily. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (2012, July 17).  Retrieved March 14, 2013, from http://www.sciencedaily.com­ /releases/2012/07/1207171833 44.htm

Many research studies prove that stress is directly linked to cancer. Dr. Hammer from the German New Medicine has shown with thousands of cases that all cancers have a stress related cause or at least a contributing factor.  How about you? Are you aware how stressed you are? Are you still in denial?

In todays video I would like to show you some typical STRESSORS . Count on your fingers how many you have. If you run out of fingers then it’s time for a massive change.

Good Health is a Choice, so Choose Wisely!

Many years ago, I had the privilege to work at Grail Springs Wellness Spa, which at the time was Canada’s only environmental Detox Spa.

I very successfully introduced the Alkaline/Acid concept for maximum health, raw food, juicing and other Detox modalities. The results were amazing! Clients went home vibrant, regained their energy, lost weight, slept better, even on a weekend stay, to say nothing for those who stayed 5 days or longer. I loved working there. I was in my element. I even went back a second time.

I am offering you a similar opportunity with the 5-Day “Let It Go” Detox Retreat being held May 5-10, 2013 at Natures Retreat, near Georgetown, Ontario. I have changed the format a bit focusing totally on the essence of raw food, juicing and a total connection to Mother Earth, foods that fill our wild forests, and how to minimize interference from man made technologies.

Here is what some of the clients said:

I have meant to contact you for many months, almost 2 years have past. My only hesitation was I had not followed your advice then. Nonetheless, Alexi you touched my life more than you could possibly know. Sept 2o04, I spent a week at Grail Springs and I had the pleasure of meeting you and since indirectly you have become my mentor. You gave amazing information, delicious food and compassion for much well-being.

Sonia, Montreal, Quebec

We were involved in a 4.5 week weight loss/detox program with Ms. Bracey supervising and preparing raw meals for us. We collectively reduced our weight by 65 pounds. We amazingly never felt hungry or were out of sorts with the significant food change. My energy and a healthier well-being were experienced by both my brother and I.

My brother and I, without hesitation recommend Alex’s services for anyone seriously committed to improving their overall health, energy level and ofcourse life span.

The war on the detriments of cell phones and EMF’s continues falling on deaf ears to the powers that control this industry, Please educate yourself and use appropriate protection for yourself and your family, especially your children.

Diabesity is an epidemic and is affecting millions of millions of people across this continent. Did you know that 50% of retired North Americans have diabetes and many are not even aware? My soon to be released book address that very issue. “Blasting Diabesity: How to Transition to a Raw Food Lifestyle and Get Your Life Back!” Stay tuned for the release date.

I do not recommend a 100% Raw Food Lifestyle unless you have a serious or life threatening health concern. It could then, indeed, save your life. (Once more depends on your genetic make-up, testing I savailable) I do encourage individuals to increase more organic, raw food into one’s daily routine. If you eat 51% raw, you prevent leucocytosis, which is an increase in white blood cells (because they think there is a foreign invader present). My new classes have some amazing entrees, dehydrated items and sumptuous desserts. Check out the flyer below.

I am looking for speaking opportunities whether Keynote or at your favourite Health Care Professionals office, please pass on my name. Many thanks.

2) What Health Concerns Plague Baby Boomers?

Hidden epidemic picking off
Baby Boomers in their prime

    Leg cramps that wake you up out of a sound sleep.

Fingers so cold you’re embarrassed to shake hands at church.

Unsightly circles under your eyes–no matter how much sleep you get.

Bruises that appear after the slightest bump…and take WEEKS to go away.

These aren’t just minor annoyances. They’re the first signs of the hidden epidemic picking off Baby Boomers like flies. So deadly, it claims another new victim every 30 seconds. And yet–most M.D.s are completely overlooking it.

Which is why it’s absolutely critical for you to watch this special presentation right now. It will tell you everything you need to know about this sweeping threat. Including the solution so stunningly simple, it puts modern medicine to shame. Please, don’t miss it.

I am totally against Mammograms at any time, it is never to be considered and option. Thermography is a safe and more reliable way of testing breast health.

2) Excess Stomach Fat- abdominal vs. visceral

http://www.truthaboutabs.com/abdominal-fat-dangers.html

3) According to www.ewg.org, apple are on the must be organic list as they are heavily sprayed with toxic compounds. To confirm this, please read:

A new food safety scandal has triggered public outcries in China.

A recent report revealed that Fuji apples from Yantai, Shangdong may be poisonous, because growers have been wrapping their apples up in plastic bags containing drug powders until they reach eating ripe stage.

Fuji apples from Yantai, known for their large and round appearance and sweet and crisp flesh, are sold nationwide.

Shangdong province’s Qixia and Zhaoyuan, as two main producing cities of this kind of apple, have a total annual output of over one billion kilograms sold to the market. However, a large amount of local apple growers in the areas have used these drug bags, in order to achieve better skin for their crops.

Regarding the drug powders used in the plastic bags, the bag producers and distributors have been kept them as industrial secrets. But local farmers and employees of the local Agricultural Cooperative Federation have admitted that “everyone knows they’re thiram andmelarsoprol , prohibited to use.â€

A farmer told the undercover reporter that the fruit is kept in the drug bags for more than five months until they ripen and enter the market. When applying the drug bags to apples, farmers have to wear masks and gloves, as the thiram and melarsoprol are dangerous and toxic.

These drug bags are produced in secret small workshops in towns. A machine operated by three persons can produce 150 thousand plastic bags a day. Each bag with the drug powders costs at five cents.

Besides, the plastic bags are marked with “apple bags onlyâ€. There is no word about medicinal drug and fungicide.

4) Genetic Roulette- wins another International Film Award and is free for viewing online until February 10th

http://www.responsibletechnology.org/posts/genetic-roulette-free-screening/

5) Vaccines, Nutrition and Your Pets Immune System

Vaccinations are another form of genocide, now handed down to our pets. Grains are not a pet friendly food (first ingredient in prepared pet food). No matter whether purchased at the local pet store or your veterinary, processed pet food is not pet friendly. If we are what we eat, so are our four legged friends.
