The Miracles of Apple Cider Vinegar

Remember that old saying, "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away?" Well, apple cider vinegar might also help avoid doctor appointments. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) use dates as far back as 400 B.C. when Hippocrates (the father of medicine) found and treated his patients with this healing elixir. It was also found in Egyptian urns back in 3,000 B.C., the Babylonians used it as a condiment and flavoring, the Greeks and Romans kept vinegar vessels for healing, it is mentioned in the Bible, and was used as a healing agent and an antiseptic in Biblical times. The list goes on and on...

Natural (undistilled) organic, raw ACV is one of Mother Nature's most perfect foods and one the world's first natural medicines. It is made from fresh, crushed apples which are then matured naturally in wooden barrels to "boost" the natural fermentation. It has a brownish color and if you hold it up to the light you can see tiny "cobweb-like" substances that are called the miracle "mother". This ACV never needs refrigeration! The brown ACV with the "mother" is the healthiest form of vinegar on the market not the white pasteurized, refined, distilled vinegars that are the most popular. The white vinegars are best used for household cleaning and dying Easter eggs.

There are many health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar some of which are:

• fights germs, viruses, bacteria and mold
• helps to regulate menstruation, PMS and UTI
• helps retard old age onset in humans, pets and farm animals
• promotes youthful skin and banishes acne, athlete's foot, soothes burns and sunburns
• prevents itching scalp, baldness and dry hair
• helps fight arthritis and removes crystals and toxins from the entire body
• helps to control and normalize body weight
• helps fight diabetes and cancer cells
• helps to lower cholesterol and blood pressure

How should Apple Cider Vinegar be used?

There is no official recommended dosage but according to the Apple Cider Vinegar Miracle Health System book by Paul C Bragg, N.D., Ph.D and his daughter Patricia Bragg N.D., Ph.D - they recommend one to two teaspoons of ACV with one to two teaspoons of raw honey in a glass of water at least once a day for better health. Dosages vary depending on the health issue. ACV can also be used topically for various skin conditions.

Another "home remedy" to the rescue!

I remember when I was about 20 years old I visited my grandparents down in Florida. After a much too long day at the beach I developed a nasty sunburn - ouch! My grandmother, Rose, doused me in Apple Cider Vinegar which she said would "take out the sting". Sure enough it not only stopped the itching but reduced the redness.

Let's not forget the wisdom of using nature to heal our bodies instead of running to the pharmacy. Give Apple Cider Vinegar a try and let me know how it works for you.

What, Why & How to Sprout!

What is "sprouting" and why should I "sprout" you ask?

Besides all of the nutritional benefits, sprouted seeds are economical, ecological, toxin-free (depending on seeds and water) and most of all help to detoxify the body. Many surveys and clinical studies by ecologists confirm that there is a steady and alarming build-up of toxic chemicals in the human adipose (fat) tissue of the entire American population. Some of these toxins have been placed on the EPA's banned list. Yikes!

Sprouting is an easy way to help detoxify the body.

"Sprouting" is germination - this is a process where vitamins, minerals, proteins and essential fatty acids are dormant until the seeds are soaked in water. Sprouting the seeds eliminates some acids and toxins in the plant life that can interfere with our digestion. An example of this is that sprouted beans are easier to digest because their protein content increases and their starch content decreases.

You don't need a "green thumb" to sprout seeds. In a nutshell, here are the easy steps to follow.

Place seeds, grains or beans in container and rinse with purified water. Let them soak, according to sprouting chart, for the specified time. Pour soaked seeds in sprouting tray - rinse again, drain completely and cover. Place container away from direct sunlight.

Repeat the rinsing 2-3 times per day (once in the morning and once in the evening should be fine) until your seeds sprout a "tail" about 1/4 inch long.

Finally, rinse one more time, put in direct sunlight for a couple of hours so they turn green and develop chlorophyll. The sprouts then should be put in a container in the refrigerator which will last about 3-4 days.

Include your sprouts in salads, rice, eggs, sandwiches, juiced, soups and much more. Use your imagination and let me know if you have any other suggested uses. Enjoy!

"Pucker Up" to the benefits of Lemons!

A couple of nights ago, my niece told me that she is drinking a glass of lemon juice each morning as a means of detoxifying. What a great way to gently cleanse the body from overindulging during the holidays. I figure I could use a little detoxing myself, so I made a pitcher of lemon and cucumber water (a recipe that Spalon Montage serves its customers). This is a refreshing drink even in the Winter.

Additional info on the benefits of Lemons - Pucker Up!

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells.

It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
Why do we not know about that?
Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.
You can now help a friend in need by letting him know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease.
Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.
If you can, plant a lemon tree in your garden or patio.
How many people die while this is a closely guarded secret so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations?
As you know, the lemon tree does not occupy much space and is known for its varieties of lemons and limes.
You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, ...
The lemon is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumours.
This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer.
It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure that is too high and is an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that:
It destroys the malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ...
The compounds of this tree actually showed to be 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, the most commonly used chemotherapeutic in the world, to slow the growth of cancer cells.
And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract not only destroys malignant cancer cells and does not affect healthy cells.

I remember reading that cancer does not grow well in an alkaline environment. Lemon juice has the effect of increasing blood level pH. Which might help explain the above. The inclusion of diluted lemon juice in the diet is also claimed to regulate hypertension and blood sugar levels, remove toxins and inflammation,, reduce cholesterol, postpone senility, and even increase energy levels.
