    • — animal protein
    • — salt
    • — genetically modified food
    • — artificial sweeteners
    • — carbonated drinks
    • — caffeine
    • — cigarettes
    • — dairy products

    To help combat the enormous work that our kidneys do for us every day, this breakfast smoothie can be a healing refresh every morning.

    My youngest is highly sensitive to pesticides. This child must eat PESTICIDE FREE foods. After looking at the list of effects of these 52 pesticides – NO ONE should eat a convention blueberry. 
    Makes me want to grow my own.  How about you? If you’re ambitious, check out how to grow blueberries in Idaho.
  • Parasite Cleanse Diet – Foods To Eat And Foods To Avoid

    Parasite Cleanse Diet – Foods To Eat And Foods To Avoid

    One of the best ways to help the body destroy and get rid of unwanted parasites is following a parasite cleanse diet. This diet should be taken for at least 2 months to give your body an opportunity to get rid of all kinds of parasites and eggs that are hidden in different organs.
    Parasites in the body can originate from several sources, such as raw meat, tainted water, pets or other animals.

    They can cause symptoms like: digestive disorders, fatigue, food cravings and unstable blood sugar.

    A good parasite cleanse diet involves eating herbs, natural whole foods and taking supplements that will help the body eliminate parasites.

    The diet should have high mineral and nutrient content and shouldn’t contain any kind of artificial stimulants.

    Here are some of the common foods and herbs that should be included in a good parasite cleansing diet. You can find them at your local grocery store or health food store.

    What to Eat to Get Rid of Parasites

    Wormwood

    Wormwood is an herb that helps to kill big, adult parasites by making their environment unfriendly to live in. You can find it in tea, capsules and in concentrated liquid form.

    Garlic

    Garlic is a natural antiparasitic and antibiotic food; it also helps support bowel movements and bowel detoxification.

    Cloves

    Cloves help to kill the parasitic eggs that are laid daily by adult parasites. These eggs can remain dormant for a while so it’s important to let them hatch and then destroy them using more cloves.

    Black Walnut Hulls

    This herb helps to kill large adult parasites wherever they are in the body. Black walnut hulls is a powerful anti-fungal and anti-parasitic supplement. 

    Vegetables

    Green leafy vegetables with high nutrient content and probiotics help the body to get rid of toxins.

    Vegetables rich in anti-oxidants like cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and blueberries help feed the body organs and glands infected with parasites.

    Coconut oil

    Coconut oil contains about 50% of lauric acid, a saturated fat which is contained in coconut products. After conversion by the body it produces a substance that effectively kills parasites, viruses, yeasts, as well as bad bacteria in the digestive tract. Make sure that you choose organic, extra virgin coconut oil for best results. 

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    Need to increase your hydrochloric acid for better digestion (especially meats)? One tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water about 30-60 minutes before meals will increase your stomach acid and prepare your digestive system for absorption. Just rinse your mouth with fresh water after consuming and then let your saliva remineralize your teeth. 

    Increasing your HCL will help keep your stomach free from parasites and also ensure that you eliminate any larvae you accidentally eat during your meals.

    If you’re concerned about the acidity, ACV actually becomes alkaline in the body. 

    Papaya

    This fruit has a powerful ability to destroy worms, such as tapeworms and most intestinal worms. To enhance its potency, peel off the skin before soaking in apple cider vinegar. Then eat 8 ounces of the papaya and take two ounces of this vinegar solution for four days.

    Green onions

    Like garlic, green onions release an enzyme called alliinase when they’re crushed or cut. To prepare onions and avoid the ‘tear factor’ caused by onions, refrigerate them for one hour and then cut them using a sharp knife.

    For an antiparasitic boost, juice the white section of the onions and add two sesame seed oil teaspoons. Drink twice a day for 3 days without any food.

    Pineapple

    This fruit contains an antiparasitic enzyme known as bromelain. Some studies show that a 3-day pineapple fast can help kill tapeworms.

    Fish and organic meats

    These high-quality protein sources can support your immune system and provide the body with the essential fatty acids needed for fuel.

    Pumpkin seeds

    Pumpkin seeds are usually used for eliminating tapeworms and roundworms. You can mash them and then mix with juice, chew them or make pumpkin seed butter in your food processor. 

    Carrots and carrot juice or cranberry juice (unsweetened)

    You can dilute cranberry juice in water. Carrots or carrot juice kills parasites as well.

    Fennel seed tea

    This mild laxative can irritate certain kinds of parasites in the body.

    You essentially flush them out with fluids in the process. If you have a sensitive stomach, be sure to ingest the tea in small doses so that you know it’s affect on your digestive system. Fennel seed tea is a great remedy for irritable bowel syndrome in general. 

    Pungent spices

    Parasites don’t like spice! Spices like cayenne, chilies, horseradish, turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and cloves all make parasites disappear.

    Add a kick to your parasite cleanse diet and you’ll feel the results quickly.

    Fermented foods/probiotics

    Some options that you can make at home include rejuvelac (a drink produced from fermented grains like wheat berries, and sauerkraut (fermented cabbage). You can also use probiotic supplements, which help kill the bad bacteria and replenish good bacteria. We love Bio-Kult Advanced Probiotic Multi-Strain Formula for its widely reported effectiveness and personal results with GAPS and other leaky gut diets. 

    What foods should you AVOID in a parasite cleanse diet?

    Sugar

    Sugar feeds parasites and also eats up the supply of B vitamins and minerals in the body. A parasitic infection may lead to cravings for carbohydrates and refined sugar, so it’s best to avoid these kinds of food to starve parasites off their energy and fuel.

    Refined carbohydrates

    Refined carbohydrates like cakes, bread, cookies, cereal and pasta should be avoided. All of these lead to major fluctuations in blood sugar control and therefore put an extra strain on an already burdened system that’s infected with parasites.

    Best herbal supplements for parasite cleanse diet

    The Health Freedom Idaho team and their families have tested a number of protocols and supplements for parasite cleansing. Below are some of the best-rated and most effective supplements and books for parasite cleansing.

    • SCRAM Internal Parasite Formula. This is one of the most highly rated anti-microbial supplements on Amazon and contains high-quality organic herbs such as black walnut, wormwood, clove, milk thistle, enzymes to break down a microbe’s cellular walls and probiotics. It is also vegan and non-GMO. This is a staple to have on hand when you travel and when you’re choosing to do a parasite or candida (yeast) cleanse. 
    • Intestinal Cleanse for Kids by Cedar Bear Naturale. This formulation was designed by a master herbalist to be safe for children and their developing digestive systems. 
    • ParaGuard by Zahler contains the heavy hitters of clove, wormwood and black walnut hulls, but also features powerful anti-microbial oils like oregano and peppermint, along with pumpkin seed (a powerful anti-parasitic, as listed above) and garlic bulb. 
    • Black Walnut Hulls is a powerful anti-parasitic and anti-fungal on its own. This tincture is made according to the standards of Dr. Hulda Clark and has no magnesium stearate or excipients, thereby improving absorption. 
    • Clove Bud Powder is not only a key herbal remedy for parasite cleansing, but also increases circulation and oxygenation in the blood, strengthens arteries and can reduce excess iron in the body. 
    • Wormwood (artemesia) is a go-to for balancing and strengthening the digestive system and ridding the intestines of parasites. Wormwood helps maintain a normal balance of bacteria and other microbes in the intestines and enhances digestive enzymes and the secretion of bile.
    • IntestinePro Intestine Support has 15 ingredients that support digestion and parasite control. By using a supplement like this, you’re approaching microbe balance from a number of angles, including probiotics and lesser known herbs. 
    •  Hulda Clark’s book, “The Cure For All Diseases” is one of the standards in parasite education and supplementation protocols.

  • Eat Up those Valentine’s DARK Chocolates – They Are Good For You!

    Eat Up those Valentine’s DARK Chocolates – They Are Good For You!

    Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health.

    Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet.

    Studies show that dark chocolate (not the sugary crap) can improve health and lower the risk of heart disease.

    1. Dark Chocolate is Very Nutritious

    If you buy quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, then it is actually quite nutritious.

    It contains a decent amount of soluble fiber and is loaded with minerals.

    A 100 gram bar of dark chocolate with 70-85% cocoa contains (1):

    • 11 grams of fiber.
    • 67% of the RDA for Iron.
    • 58% of the RDA for Magnesium.
    • 89% of the RDA for Copper.
    • 98% of the RDA for Manganese.
    • It also has plenty of potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium.

    Of course, 100 grams (3.5 ounces) is a fairly large amount and not something you should be consuming daily.
    All these nutrients also come with 600 calories and moderate amounts of sugar.

    For this reason, dark chocolate is best consumed in moderation.

    2. Dark Chocolate is a Powerful Source of Antioxidants

    Stacked Chocolate Blocks

    It is loaded with organic compounds that are biologically active and function as antioxidants. These include polyphenols, flavanols, catechins, among others.

    One study showed that cocoa and dark chocolate contained more antioxidant activity, polyphenols and flavanols than other fruits they tested, which included blueberries and Acai berries (2).

    Bottom Line: Cocoa and dark chocolate have a wide variety of powerful antioxidants, way more than most other foods.

    3. Dark Chocolate May Improve Blood Flow and Lower Blood Pressure

    Chipped Dark Chocolate

    The flavanols in dark chocolate can stimulate the endothelium, the lining of arteries, to produce Nitric Oxide (NO), which is a gas (3).

    One of the functions of NO is to send signals to the arteries to relax, which lowers resistance to blood flow and therefore reduces blood pressure.

    There are many controlled trials showing that cocoa and dark chocolate can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure, but the effects are usually mild (4, 5, 6, 7).

    However, there is also one study in people with elevated blood pressure that showed no effect, so take all this with a grain of salt (8).

    Bottom Line: The bioactive compounds in cocoa can improve blood flow in the arteries and cause a small but statistically significant decrease in blood pressure.

    4. Dark Chocolate Raises HDL and Protects LDL Against Oxidation

    Woman Holding Chocolate And Milk

    Consuming dark chocolate can improve several important risk factors for heart disease.

    It makes perfect sense that cocoa lowers oxidized LDL. It contains an abundance of powerful antioxidants that do make it into the bloodstream and protect lipoproteins against oxidative damage (10, 11, 12).

    Dark chocolate can also reduce insulin resistance, which is another common risk factor for many diseases like heart disease and diabetes (13, 14).

    Bottom Line: Dark chocolate improves several important risk factors for disease. It lowers the susceptibility of LDL to oxidative damage while increasing HDL and improving insulin sensitivity.

    5. Dark Chocolate May Lower The Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

    Woman Staring at a Piece of Chocolate

    The compounds in dark chocolate appear to be highly protective against the oxidation of LDL.

    In the long term, this should cause much less cholesterol to lodge in the arteries and we should see a lower risk of heart disease over the long term.

    It turns out that we have several long-term observational studies that show a fairly drastic improvement.

    In a study of 470 elderly men, cocoa was found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death by a whopping 50% over a 15 year period (15).

    Another study revealed that eating chocolate 2 or more times per week lowered the risk of having calcified plaque in the arteries by 32%. Eating chocolate less frequently had no effect (16).

    Yet another study showed that chocolate 5+ times per week lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 57% (17).

    Of course, these 3 studies are so-called observational studies that can not prove that it was the chocolate that caused the reduction in risk.

    However, given that we have a biological mechanism (lower blood pressure and oxidized LDL) then I find it plausible that regular consumption of dark chocolate can in fact reduce the risk of heart disease.

    Bottom Line: Observational studies show a drastic reduction in heart disease risk for the people who consume the most chocolate.

    6. Dark Chocolate May Protect Your Skin Against The Sun

    Cocoa Powder

    The bioactive compounds in dark chocolate may also be great for your skin.

    The flavonols can protect against sun-induced damage, improve blood flow to the skin and increase skin density and hydration (19).

    The minimal erythemal dose (MED) is the minimum amount of UVB rays required to cause redness in the skin, 24 hours after exposure.

    In one study of 30 people, the MED more than doubled after consuming dark chocolate high in flavanols for 12 weeks (20).

    Bottom Line: Studies show that the flavanols from cocoa can improve blood flow to the skin and protect it against sun-induced damage.

    7. Dark Chocolate May Improve Brain Function

    Doctor With Thumbs Up

    The good news isn’t over yet. Dark chocolate may also improve the function of the brain.

    One study of healthy volunteers showed that 5 days of consuming high-flavanol cocoa improved blood flow to the brain (21).

    Cocoa may also significantly improve cognitive function in elderly people with mental impairment. It also improves verbal fluency and several risk factors for disease (22).

    Cocoa also contains stimulant substances like caffeine and theobromine, which may be a key reason cocoa can improve brain function in the short term (23).

    Take Home Message

    There is considerable evidence that cocoa can provide powerful health benefits, being especially protective against cardiovascular disease.

    But of course, this doesn’t mean people should go all out and consume lots of chocolate every day. It is still loaded with calories and easy to overeat on. Maybe have a square or two after dinner and try to really savor them.

    Dark chocolates often contain some sugar, but the amounts are usually small and the darker the chocolate, the less sugar it will contain.

    There are of course other benefits to chocolate that I have not mentioned… such as the awesome taste.

  • GROW YOUR OWN: Tomatoes and Peppers

    GROW YOUR OWN: Tomatoes and Peppers

    You can taste the sun in a ripe homegrown tomato, but only if the tomato plant has enjoyed a robust, healthy life. This is no great challenge in climates where summers are long and warm, but you will need special varieties to grow great tomatoes if you have a short, cool season. Disease resistance is important in all climates because tomatoes can be weakened or killed by several widespread diseases.

    To learn more about getting started with your own garden, see Vegetable Gardening Tips for Beginners.

    Best Tomato Varieties for Your Location 
    check out University of Idaho Recommendations

    • Short, cool summers: Try early-maturing cherry tomatoes such as blight-resistant ‘Jasper’, along with heirlooms selected in cold climates around the world such as golfball-size ‘Stupice’ from Czechoslovakia or the heart-shaped ‘Anna Russian Oxheart’.

    • Moderate summers: Full-season varieties known for great flavor such as ‘Brandywine’, an Amish heirloom from Pennsylvania, can be mixed with ‘Sun Gold’, a fruity-tasting yellow cherry tomato, or full-flavored, chocolate-colored ‘Black Krim’ for a beautiful and productive tomato patch.

    • Long, humid summers: Resistance to fusarium wilt is crucial yet easy to come by in popular varieties such as baseball-size red ‘Better Boy’ or ‘Super Sweet 100’ cherry. Among heirlooms, purple-blushed varieties such as ‘Black Cherry’ or superjuicy ‘Pruden’s Purple’ often show good tolerance of muggy weather. 

    • Hot, dry summers: Disease-resistant, heat-tolerant ‘Champion’ always makes a good crop of round slicing tomatoes, which contrast beautifully with golden ‘Persimmon’ or sliced rounds of meaty ‘San Marzano’ paste tomatoes.

    Growing Peppers

    Garden peppers are pickier than tomatoes when it comes to weather, so choosing varieties suited to your climate is fundamental to growing a good crop of ripe peppers. Most peppers start out green and gradually ripen to red, yellow or orange, depending on variety. Ripe peppers taste better and have much more vitamin C compared with green ones, so they are worth waiting for. In the garden, ripening peppers are at risk for developing cracks and sunscald, neither of which will happen if you pick peppers when they begin to change colors and allow them to ripen at room temperature.

    Best Pepper Varieties for Where You Live

    • Short, cool summers: Early-maturing ‘Ace’ red bell is a cold-climate standout, but you may also do well with ‘Cubanelle’ frying peppers, which develop a mild, sweet flavor before they are fully ripe.

    • Moderate summers: Peppers that load up with fruit early such as ‘Carmen’ frying pepper and ‘Lipstick’ sweet pimento shorten the wait for homegrown peppers.

    • Long, humid summers: Most peppers can be grown with ease in warm climates, but banana peppers (sweet or hot) and ‘Jupiter’ red bell always produce bumper crops.

    • Hot, dry summers: Southwestern peppers include dozens of varieties that prosper in hot climates, for example ‘Big Jim’ green chili pepper, ‘Santa Fe’ hot chili, and lots of local heirlooms.

    Growing Tomatoes and Peppers

    Tomatoes and peppers are members of the same botanical family, so they are grown in similar ways.

    1. About six weeks before your last spring frost date, start seeds indoors under fluorescent lights. Keep seedlings warm, moist and almost touching the lights. When seedlings are about six weeks old, transplant to larger containers (still indoors).

    2. Harden off homegrown or purchased seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor weather for a few hours each day for at least a week before transplanting.

    3. Plan to transplant seedlings to the garden (or outdoor containers) after your last frost has passed, during a period of warm weather. Choose a sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil, and loosen the planting bed to 12 inches deep. Mix a 2-inch layer of mature compost into the bed, and then dig planting holes 18 inches apart. Enrich each hole with a spadeful of additional compost mixed with a balanced organic fertilizer (follow application rates on the label).

    4. Set tomatoes so only the top five or six leaves show at the surface. Set peppers so that the small seedling leaves barely show at the soil line.

    5. Pull weeds by hand until the soil warms and plants are growing vigorously. Before hot weather arrives, mulch with grass clippings, straw or leaves to deter weeds and retain moisture.

    6. Use wire cages to keep lanky tomato branches high and dry, and tie pepper plants to sturdy stakes.

  • Make A Valentine’s Treat That’s Good For Your Heart!

    Make A Valentine’s Treat That’s Good For Your Heart!

     
    Who wants Peanut Butter, Banana and Dark Chocolate Frozen Truffles! 
    GUILT FREE TREAT as DARK CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU (in moderation of course!)

    Peanut Butter, Banana and Dark Chocolate Frozen Truffles

    Yield: 20-24 truffles

    These frozen truffles are not only super rich and chocolaty, but they are made with healthy ingredients! The oil is used to thin the chocolate to make it easier for dipping. You can forgo the oil, but it will be more difficult to coat the truffles. Don’t worry if they don’t look like perfectly shaped spheres. They will still look and taste amazing!

    Ingredients

    • 2 large bananas, peeled ( about 8 ounces without the peel)
    • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter, crunchy or smooth (make sure to stir well)
    • 1-1/4 cups dark chocolate chips (preferably with a cocoa % of at least 65%)
    • 2 teaspoons neutral flavored oil or coconut oil (I prefer to use heart healthy Thrive Culinary Algae Oil)

    Instructions

    1. Slice the bananas and place on a parchment or silcone baking mat lined sheet pan. Place pan in the freezer and allow bananas to freeze for about 1 hour.
    2. In the bowl of a food processor, add the frozen banana slices and peanut butter. Process until mixture is smooth. You will probably need to scrape the bowl multiple times before the mixture fully comes together.
    3. Spoon banana mixture into a bowl and place in the freezer until mixture is firm. Start checking after about 1-1/2 hours.
    4. Remove banana mixture from the freezer. If mixture is too firm to scoop, allow to thaw for about 10 minutes. Using a scoop or melon baller with a 1″ diameter, scoop out balls of banana mixture and place back on the lined sheet pan. If this gets a little messy, form balls the best you can with your fingers. Place sheet pan in freezer until balls are frozen, about 15 minutes.
    5. Right before you’re ready to remove the banana balls from the freezer, place the chocolate chips and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments until the chocolate is melted. Stir chocolate chips after each round. It shouldn’t take you more than a few rounds in the microwave.
    6. Place a banana ball on a fork and dip into the bowl of chocolate. Use a spoon to pour chocolate over the top.
    7. Put truffles back on the lined sheet pan and place in freezer until chocolate is hardened, about 5 minutes. Place truffles in an airtight container and store in the freezer until ready to eat.
    8. When ready to eat, allow truffles to thaw for 5 minutes.

  • HEALED: Eczema & Allergies

    HEALED: Eczema & Allergies

    Today I came across something so beautiful and inspiring (it even brought a few tears to my eyes) and I just had to share another inspiring story of health and healing. I LOVE reading about all the positive transformations from people healing themselves of all sorts of diseases and health complications. Families seeking the SOURCE of the aliment instead of treating the symptoms. So many are finding that changing lifestyles is empowering and set us free from the never ending cycle of pharmaceuticals and medicated treatments. 

    “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine by thy food” – Hippocrates. 

    Below is a picture of Maya, the beautiful daughter of @dehappy5_mama on Instagram. Ullenka (the happy mama!), her husband and their three kids have been following a raw high carb low fat vegan diet for the last 6 months and have experienced some truly remarkable results.

    Maya had previously suffered from severe eczema as well as leaky gut caused by candida overgrowth. After only a few months, Maya is completely healed and is looking absolutely gorgeous and healthy.

    Screen%2BShot%2B2014-09-23%2Bat%2B6.50.58%2BPM.jpg
    “After struggling with terrible eczema and allergies for most of her life, my 8 year old daughter recovered completely within only 5 months on high carb raw vegan diet. She has a condition called leaky gut caused by candida overgrowth that she had since born. Years of other treatments and diets gave no results and even worsen her eczema till the point shown on left photo. At the beginning there was about three months of hard detox and from then she started to heal beautifully to be a healthy and happy girl today. Her two younger brothers had milder stadium of eczema and all three of them are clear skin today.” @dehappy5_mama
    I am so happy to see Maya’s transformation after only a few months of eating raw – how amazing! It just goes to show the incredible power of raw foods – fruit in particular (which Maya mostly eats). “I know it looks dramatic and I am sorry if anyone of you feels a bit discomforted looking at her. But I want to show this to help many other people, especially children, that suffer through this terrible disease. She had such severe eczema on her body that I am first time publicly sharing her pictures from that period of time. I actually will not say anything anymore, you see the results. For those of you who are interested about more details please go to my blog. There is first part of her story with even more dramatic photos.” @dehappy5_mama
