NATURAL SAFE LIVER CLEANERS

Safe Liver Cleanses

Any time we can do anything naturally for our body, it’s a plus. So, here are some safe, natural ways for you to help supply key nutrients needed by your liver to cleanse itself:

1. Water

Your body is essentially 70% water, so it only makes sense that in order for it to function optimally you must drink water.
Water helps flush out those nasty toxins your liver is working so hard to remove, while simultaneously pushing the good nutrients throughout your body.

By the time you are thirsty, it is said you are already dehydrated so make sure you drink water consistently throughout the day.

2. Lemons

Lemons should be listed as one of nature’s most powerful superfoods simply because they can do so much to not only keep you healthy but treat existing health issues, even cancer.
You can add lemon juice to water every time you pour yourself a glass but recent studies show that the real benefits of lemons lie in the entire lemon.

An easy way to incorporate the entire lemon into your diet is by freezing it and simply grading it into everything you eat. When you want to do a more intense liver cleanse, however, do both.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to 8 ounces of tepid water. It won’t take long before you see your energy levels rise and you being to feel like a new person.

3. Turmeric

Among its numerous health promoting properties, according to the Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, turmeric has been shown repair damaged liver tissues. You can sprinkle some on your food or take it in capsule form.

4. Berries

You’ve no doubt heard about antioxidants and their powerful ability to fight free radicals that can cause significant damage to your body if left unchecked.
Well, you guessed it, berries are full of healthy nutrients, fiber and antioxidants. Eating a handful of berries everyday can definitely help your liver detox.

5. Garlic

Not just to keep vampires away, garlic is a potent anti-bacterial, anti-fungal that is full of selenium and allicin, both key ingredients for eliminating toxins.
While fresh garlic is best, you can take garlic supplements. When eating garlic always remember to crush it first and leave it for 10-15 minutes in order to release its active components.

6. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is another food that is high in antioxidants but as well, it contains a specific antioxidant called naringenin, a powerful flavonoid known as wonderful anti-inflammatory, which goes a long way to preventing disease.

Grapefruit also contains an enzyme that can trigger a reaction in the liver that helps to make toxic compounds more water soluble for easier elimination from the body. Grapefruit further helps to prevent your liver from storing fat.

7. Apples

You have undoubtedly heard the adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
The reason for this is a specific nutrient called pectin that helps with proper digestion, which ultimately makes it easier for your liver to do its job.

8. Whole Grains (Quinoa, Teff, Oats)

Apart from the obvious nutritional value of whole grains, they are rich in dietary fiber, which help the liver in removing toxins.

9. Green Tea

Green tea contains high levels of catechins, effective antioxidants that help improve liver function and fat burning, making it harder for your liver to store dangerous fats.

10. Cold-pressed Oils

Organic cold pressed, virgin oils such as coconut, olive oil, flaxseed or hempseed oils have been shown to alleviate toxic stress on your liver by encouraging lipid production that absorbs harmful substances that might otherwise enter your other organs and cells.

Other Foods

• Other liver-promoting foods include walnuts, which are rich in omega fatty acids, glutathione (a powerful antioxidant), and the amino acid, arginine, all of which keep dangerous chemicals and substances like ammonia from entering your body.
• Avocados contain healthy fats that aid in the elimination of harmful toxins.
• Beets and carrots are full of flavonoids.
• Leafy green veggies contain chlorophyll (a natural detoxifier) and stimulate bile production.

WHY AND BECAUSE

When my daughter was two her favorite word would be why.  Anything and everything that came out of her mouth was why and everything that came out of my mouth was because.  It’s much like into days’ world when I ask why cancer has not been managed as of yet and I get from doctors and professionals; because.  Not much has changed since I and my daughter’s terrible two’s.

In the result of always getting the same answer “BECAUSE”, I did my own research and found out on my own why and the conclusion without the because. We as a world need to ask more on why there is a because and not an answer.  For every situation there is a solution all you have to do is be open minded and use your mind to locate the information.  We can turn the “BECAUSE” into a noun instead of a verb.

I have created websites and blogs to do just that.  Ways to benefit our bodies completely (BODY, SOUL, and MIND) for it takes a full circle of our being to create a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Do not be the one to say because, be the one with the solution to the situation.

SKY MED

This was a life saver ~ Our testimonial on how Sky Med worked with our doctors here in Mexico and New York.

Three weeks ago the unthinkable happened to Dan my husband.  It was like any other Thursday, we got up and left to go to Guadalajara for a routine stress test at his cardiologist.  We have been doing this for the past three years since they placed two more stents in Dan, leaving all together 10.  Like always before we go to the office we make time to get breakfast.  Enjoying this time together and talking about everyday subjects we finished and began walking over to the office so as to be on time.

We had to wait just a little while and then Dan’s name was called.  Ready for the stress test, he walked and then walked very fast, everything seemed fine until he sat down in the chair near the doctor.  He was ready to check his blood pressure until Dan stated he felt like he needed a drink of water.  In a split of a second, Dan turned very pail and stated to go into confusions and then his eyes closed.  The doctor started CPR and both the doctor and I yelled for him to cough and to open his eyes.  While this was happening the doctor continued to do CPR.  After a period of time which seemed like forever he started to cough and then his eyes opened.

The doctor acted very fast, he called the Del Carmen Angeles hospital and within seconds they wheeled Dan into the ER.  Thank God Dr. Salas was there to react fast and got him stabilized He was then transferred to another hospital in Mexico where the doctors (Dr. Hernandez our family doctor and Dr. Salas Dan’s cardiologist) and Sky Med worked out plans for Dan to go to New York where our daughter lives.  My husband has Medicare and by the looks of things it looked really bad. So, since he has been paying on Sky Med the choice was to go to the states if any open heart surgery was needed.

The service was fabulous; I could not have had it any better.  My daughter worked with them from the US side and our doctors here in Mexico, which made it a pleasant flight.  The crew were wonderful and the timing to get to the hospital in Brooklyn was amazing.

I have to thank my doctors, daughter, and Sky Med for the quick attention.  I am glad that we chose to take out an insurance to be flown back to the states.

I recommend Sky Med highly; I rate them from the scale of 1 to 10 (10).

Coming back to Mexico was just as organized as going.  They set us up on a commercial flight back and all is well.

The results from all of this, Dan now has a chip placed in near his heart to monitor the heart beats to see what went wrong.

~ANGER VS LAUGHTER~

How to Safely Get Rid of Spiders from Your Home

 

White Vinegar

Spiders hate the strong pungent smell of white vinegar. It will drive away all the spiders in no time. Its acetic acid can even burn and kill spiders upon contact.

Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray this solution on any area where these pests can hide. You can also, spray it directly on any spider you see. Do this once daily until they are completely gone

Garlic

Take 10 cloves of garlic and extract juice out of it. Mix garlic juice in a spray bottle filled with water. Now spray this mix in the corners of your house to repulse spiders

Tobacco

Soak 1 to 2 tablespoons of tobacco in a cup of hot water for about 30 minutes. Strain and add the juice of 1 lemon in the water. Spray the solution all around the house. Repeat daily until you are sure that your house is free of spiders

Additional tip: It is important to use sprays not only in those areas where spiders are seen, but also in locations populated by certain insects which are spider’s food source. You will quicker discourage spiders from staying in your location if you limit their food source.

Breast Biopsy Marker Clip

Breast Biopsy Marker Clip

Since my biopsy I have some concerns. One concern that haunts me is the clips that they inserted in my breast. I have talked to some people and did some research and have gotten different answers. I even spoke to one women that just found out that she will need a biopsy and was told that she would be having a clip placed in her. She advised that she did not want this and was told that they would not be able to do the procedure unless a clip was placed in the area of concern. The answer was it was their policy. Is this right, and should they tell us that we can not have a procedure if we do not have a marker to label the area.

I have done some research and in the findings below you will see that this procedure is being done quite often and is very profitable . Should this be done and are there side effects? According to the material I found from the medical media, there are no side effects. However, if you google it, you will see that there are women that have expressed that there are side effects. So women when it comes time for you to have a biopsy of the breast DO YOUR RESEARCH before having it done. Ask questions ;after all it is your body.

Marker clips used for breast biopsies are made of titanium or surgical stainless steel and are about 2 millimeters in size. When the radiologist or surgeon feels a marker should be used, they are inserted at the end of breast core or needle biopsy procedures to mark the site of the biopsy for later reference. This is an important step to take since most abnormalities biopsied are small or subtle and can become extremely difficult or impossible to identify after a core biopsy procedure. 
When a biopsy result is abnormal and an excision or lumpectomy is necessary, the marker clip allows accurate localization of the abnormal site for removal so that as little tissue as necessary is removed while optimizing the chance of clear margins.

Most patients have normal (benign) results from these types of biopsy, however the presence of the marker is very reassuring when seen on follow-up mammograms; it shows exactly where the area was biopsied. This avoids confusion in interpretation of follow-up mammograms and can prevent the need for future biopsies in that same area.

The marker is safe; sensitivity to the material is very rare. In general women cannot feel the clip. They do not set off airport detectors and do not cause interference problems in MRI.
　Each tissue marker is only 3mm (less than 1/8") in size. A breast tissue marker is placed after a breast biopsy to help locate the site for future reference. 

During your breast biopsy procedure most of the lesion may have been removed and could potentially be difficult to locate after the biopsy. 

Therefore, it has become standard practice for a physician to place a breast tissue marker at the site of the biopsy for future reference. Marking the site also helps to ensure that the correct area was biopsied.

The markers are made of materials that will show up on your follow-up

mammogram. The presence of the marker can be very reassuring when seen on follow-up mammograms because it shows exactly where the area was biopsied.

This can prevent the need for future biopsies in that same area.

12 Alkaline Foods That Will Clean, Repair And Produce New Cells In Your Body

 Sea Salt

Sea salts helps in alkalizing the cells of the body by facilitating excretion of excess acids through urination. This helps in keeping the body in an alkaline state.

Achiote

Norbixin is one of the pigments found in achiote and is known to be a powerful antioxidant. In recent research, it was shown that norbixin has a decidedly anti-mutagenic effect on healthy cells, meaning that achiote can help to keep the cells healthy and disease-free.

Wild Rice

Wild rice encourages the production of white blood cells, the body’s first line of defense against foreign agents, pathogens, and microbes. Furthermore, wild rice contain critical components that help develop collagen, which is needed for the creation and the repair of cells of the organs, tissues, and blood vessel walls, helping us to recover from illnesses that we do experience.

Soursop

Consuming soursop fruit, either through refreshing beverages or desserts, can positively impact your overall health and keep your cells clean. Rich in anitoxidants, this fruit stimulates the production of white blood cells, and also helps to rid toxins from the cells.

Burro Bananas

Burro bananas contain high iron content which is an essential part of red blood cells. Burro bananas also has a significant content of copper, which is an important element in the creation of red blood cells. By increasing your red blood cell count, you can increase circulation to all parts of the body, thereby oxygenating various parts of the organ and optimizing their functionality.

Teff

Teff can deliver substantial support for cell growth and development. Our bodies need certain nutrients to create new cells, repair old ones, and general cell development throughout our lives. Teff contain many important compounds, minerals and nutrient that encourages the growth of new cells in the body.

Oregano

They’re important organic compounds in oregano that can defend the body against a wide range of diseases in the gut and other parts of the body. Oregano is a slightly stimulating agent, which can increase the production of white blood cells and speed up the metabolism, making recovery from illness even faster.

Wakame

Researchers have discovered a compound called fucoxanthin in wakame that actually inhibits the accumulation of fat in the cells and stimulates fat oxidation. This unique compound, rarely found in vegetables, is the reason that wakame has its unusual brown color, because it also helps in photosynthesis.

Cantaloupes

Cantaloupes not only have beta-carotene and phytochemicals working in its favor against toxins, but they also have a healthy dose of antioxidants. Antioxidants similarly scavenges disease-causing toxins and act as an important line of defense for the cells. Cantaloupes also stimulate the production of white blood cells, which seek out and destroy dangerous toxic substances of foreign bodies that may have found their way into your bloodstream

Watercress

Watercress is shown to be effective in reversing DNA damage to white blood cell. In a study of cigarette smokers who participated in eating 85g of fresh watercress daily, the participants had a 22.9 percent decrease in cellular structure damage. Also, the cells were more able to protect themselves as shown when the subjects consumed watercress.

Plums

Plums are beneficial in strengthening the immune defense of the body due to the presence of high antioxidant content. Research has shown that plums have immunostimulatory constituents that impede the metastasis of tumor cells, and are valuable in preventing various diseases.

Peaches

The wealth of essential antioxidants and minerals in peaches help in sloughing off dead cells, as well as hydrating and revitalizing other cells. According to research, the antioxidants in the alkaline fruit also promote faster recovery of skin cells.

8 Reasons to Have a Himalayan Salt Lamp in Every Room of Your Home

What is Himalayan Salt Lamp?

Salt lamps are large pieces of pure Himalayan Salt with a small bulb inside. Himalayan salt lamps are made from pure, food grade, himalayan salt crystals and can even be powdered to use as salt in recipes if needed.

How do Himalayan salt lamps work?

They are natural negative ion generators. Salt is hygroscopic, so the lamps attract water molecules from the air; this means the lamps trap dirt, pollen, and smoke particles which are carried in water vapor.

Once these airborne contaminants have been locked in the salt, clean water is re-released and thus it has a purifying effect on the air.

What’s more is that the heat from the bulb inside that warms up the lamp releases negative ions. And there are the health-boosting effects of salt itself too.

Himalayan Pink Salt Lamp Health Benefits

1. Neutralizing electromagnetic radiation
2. Purifying the air
3. Reduce asthma and allergy symptoms
4. Improve breathing
5. Help you sleep better
6. Increase energy levels
7. Improve mood
8. Reduce stress
