A natural Sweetener

Hey Guys,

So by now you may all have some understanding that sugar (extracted sugar from plants and fruits without their fiber) is AWFUL for our bodies. I understand this, but sometimes I like a sweetness to some items like oatmeal, porridge etc.

I am currently looking to add more raw foods to my diet, and in fact have already started. In my studies, I came across some ways to have a sweetener but keeping the fruit whole, and therefore cancelling out the deleterious effects of sugar.

1) Take a dried fruit:
Apricots
Raisins
Dates
etc.

2) Take a VitaMix or Blender

3) Add filtered water

4) BLEND

Add water to your desired thickness. Then store in a glass jar! I did this a few times already and it makes me so happy. I can still sweeten things if I like, but keep the fruit whole!
NO ADVERSE SUGAR EFFECTS!!!
No damaged organs, visual aging, tooth decay, chance of Type II Diabetes, and possibly staving off high blood pressure for some.

So try it! And Eat up!

Push out a Cold before it gets YOU!

Another 'Thwarting Illness' blog from yours truly, Turmeric. I will teach you how to attack the first signs of a cold so that it doesn't take over your body.

If it starts like a scratch in your throat the first thing you want to do is gargle with very warm water and diluted Celtic Sea Salt (not the popularly used iodized salt; that salt should never enter our system). The water should be salty enough where it tastes like the sea. Use a very full mug and gargle the entire content of the mug a little at a time. It helps to vocalize your highest to your lowest notes for each swig. Do this as many times as you want.

Then make sure to not consume any sugar or dairy. Dairy is mucus forming and bacteria live and multiply in the mucus; the less you have the less time illness can stay in your body.

Drink echinacea tea at least twice a day or take the recommended amount of echinacea supplements. Eat foods rich in Vitamin C or take vitamin C supplements.

I would also (if you can bear it) eat a raw garlic clove. If this seems like more than you can handle, chop up the clove into very small pieces and add to a raw salad.

I can usually push a wannabe cold out of my system in less than a day doing just a couple of these suggestions.

If your head hurts, drink coconut water or if unavailable to you, an abundance of filtered water.

If the cold starts with a runny nose, blow as much snot out of your nose as you can bear; again, bacteria live and breed in mucus, the less you have in your body, the quicker you get better.

In addition: In general, you stay healthy for much longer strips of time and get sick far less frequently if sugar and dairy is kept out of your diet, and if your diet is rich in fresh (and organic) produce.

To your Health,
