Recipes while on a Cleanse:

Live Caravan of Dreams Burritos

You need a masticating juicer for this recipe (Green Power, Champion or Solo Star)

6 cups of pH Miracle pHlavor Hazel or Brazil nuts
(order at http://www.phmiracleliving.com/nuts-seeds.htm)
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 red bell pepper finely diced
1 bunch scallions finely diced
3 jalapeno peppers minced
1-2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
1 cup carrots finely diced
pHlavor salt t taste
cumin to taste
olive oil as needed

Green Cabbage Leaves

Using the juicer make a paste with the Hazel or Brazil nuts.  Then, make a sesame seed paste.  In a large bowl, mix and knead the pastes and all the vegetable ingredients.  Add the olive oil as needed to keep it moist.  Add the pHlavor salt      (http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phlavor.htm) and cumin.  Wrap the paste in the cabbage leaves like mini burritos.  You could also wrap the past in a sprouted wheat tortilla.  Top with Spicy Tomatillo Salsa and serve over a Rainbow Salad!

Spicy Tomatillo Salsa

5 large Tomatillos or 10 small Tomatillo
1 jalapeno pepper with seeds
1/4 bunch of fresh cilantro
1/2 or whole avocado

Blend all ingredients.  for a thicker sauce use more avocado.

Green Baby Boomer Breakfast Shake
1 unpeeled, unwaxed cucumber
1 tomatillo
1 avaocado
2 C organic baby spinach
juice of 1 lime
2 scoops SuperSoy
1 scoop SuperGreens
1/2 C water
1/2 C Rice Dream (Rice Milk)
6-8 ice cubes

Directions: Slice vegetables, add all other ingredients put into blender and blend until smooth.
GrasSoup
GRASSOUP (one word)
Serves 4
Juice of two to three English cucumbers (no pulp)
1-2 cups fresh silky almond milk (recipe in Back to the House of Health 2)
Water of one (or two) Young Thai Coconuts (drain water out of coconut, water should be clear and sweet, eat the meat of the coconut later)
1TB of fresh Dill cut in small individual grass-like pieces so when it's added to soup, it floats on top and looks like grass shavings
Sprinkle of dehydrated red bell pepper powder over the top (optional and made beforehand)

Directions: This is a new silky RAW recipe that I developed for people while they are on the cleanse (liquid feast) and it will also become your favorite soup to sip on even after the cleanse. Great and refreshing around the pool on a hot day. The fresh cut dill floating on the top of this gorgeous pastel green soup gives it the appearance of grass shavings, hence the name GRASSOUP! Sprinkle dehydrated red bell pepper powder across the top for an instant splash of warm color and an extra sweet pizzazz! Mmmmm I could drink this EVERY day!

For dehydrated red bell pepper powder , simply place sliced pieces of red bell pepper in dehydrator (about 1 /4 inch thick) and dry until snap crisp (about 24 hours) Then place in Vita mix and grind to a fine powder. Keep in a Tupperware or air tight container.. great for a garnishing tool, to add color and sweet flavor over soups, wraps, or salads. YUM! I even eat this by the spoonful for a treat! Serve and drink immediately.. Heavenly!!! Adjust each ingredient to your taste.. if you want a less creamy soup, less almond milk. if you want more of a sweet soup, add more coconut water and red bell pepper powder.. experiment.

What is the difference 
between a healing crisis 
and a disease crisis?

Taken in part from Dr. Bernard Jensen’s book Guide to Better Bowel Care

THE HEALING CRISIS

If you diligently followed a tissue-cleansing program, are following a healthy diet, and continue to live a healthy lifestyle, you will at some time experience what is known as a healing crisis. A healing crisis is nothing to fear. On the contrary, this type of crisis is what you have been working for, and you ought to welcome it.

A healing crisis is a blessing in disguise. It is the result of an industrious effort by every organ in the body to eliminate waste products, and it sets the stage for the regeneration of weakened tissues. The healing crisis conforms with Hering’s Law of Cure and is a natural result of it. Through a constructive and healthful process involving cleansing, good nutrition, and improved lifestyle, old tissues are replaced with new.

The healing crisis is called a crisis because it makes you feel as if your acute condition has returned. You experience the same symptoms you had when your condition was at its worst. In a disease crisis, you also experience these symptoms, but the symptoms are due to tissue breakdown and dysfunction, not renewed tissue activity and waste elimination.

Elimination is the most important difference between a healing crisis and a disease crisis. As part of its preparation for the healing crisis, the body eliminates toxic wastes including chemicals and drugs. Drugs are suppressive and may cause iatrogenic disease (a conditon brought on by a caretaker’s diagnostic procedures or treatment), which only compounds the original problem. More frequently, they cause patients to suffer annoying new symptoms, so-called side-effects. Physicians all too often then prescribe additional medications for the side effects.

Another sign of a healing crisis is that prior to and during the crisis, bowel elimination is very good. The bowel movements are natural and occur without difficulty. All the elimination organs do their part. In a disease crisis, elimination is usually not very good

 

before the crisis and is unsatisfactory or stops completely during the crisis.

In a healing crisis, catarrh and waste that have been stored in the body are eliminated. The crisis is the final purifying process as the last of the waste is liquefied and thrown off. In a disease crisis, catarrh is not eliminated, and mucus is old, thick, chronic and congestive.

Both healing and disease crises can come without warning. In general, you will know you are going through a healing crisis if you felt wonderful in the days prior to its onset. A healing crisis comes as an explosion, so to speak. It comes on suddenly, out of the blue, just as you are feeling your best. You will wonder how it could have come on so suddenly just when you seemed to have put your health problems behind you.

A healing crisis comes after the exchange of old tissue for new has been completed. It comes only when there is enough energy and activity available to the body as a result of the old, debilitated tissue being replaced with new. The old tissue has spent itself, and the new tissue, built from life-giving foods as well as through health-building processes, is strong and vital. When the body has regained its strength, it cleans house and violently throws off old wastes in the form of a healing crisis.

To achieve regeneration of tissue, the body must pass through three stages. These three stages are the elimination, the transitional, and the building stages. The healing crisis usually occurs near the end of the transitional stage, which is when the new tissue has matured sufficiently to take on the function of a more perfect body.

Healing crises usually last about three days. They start with a slight discomfort, which quickly increases in severity until the point of complete expulsion is reached. During a healing crisis, a person may suffer old symptoms more severely than ever before. The person must “wait out” the crisis while continuing to follow a health-building path. Yielding to the temptation to resort to medications during this acute period will serve only to suppress the symptoms. The person will then have to again go through the crisis at a later time in order to be well.

Following the acute stage of the healing crisis, the discomfort diminishes. If the person’s energy is low, the crisis sometimes lasts for a week or more. Healing crises affect patients with stronger vitality and greater energy more profoundly. Persons whose energy is too low do not have a healing crisis. Such persons must work to rebuild their health and energy until their bodies can manifest a crisis. Be assured that nature will not allow a healing crisis to take place before its appointed time.

Gut Bacteria Help Determine Body Weight

The world is dominated by microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast. In our own bodies, for example, microbial cells outnumber human cells by about 10 to 1. While we often view microorganisms as the cause of illness and disease, scientists have discovered that most are not harmful and many are beneficial. An understanding of how these ‘friendly’ microscopic guests contribute to human health should provide exciting new platforms for disease therapy.

Jeffrey I. Gordon, MD and colleagues at Washington University in St. Louis study the physiological benefits of the microbiota--the term given to the collection of trillions of microorganisms living in the gut. Most recently, as reported in two papers published in the December 21 2006 issue of Nature, Gordon and co-workers established a link between the microbiota and obesity. They propose that obesity may be, at least in part, related to the ability of the microbiota of obese individuals to extract more calories from food.

The group first demonstrated that the microbiota of obese mice differed significantly from that of their lean counterparts. In lean mice, bacteria belonging to the Bacteroidetes division make up approximately 40% of the bacterial community. In obese mice, about half of these bacteria were selectively lost (Ley et al. 2005 PNAS 102). More importantly, a microbiota from an obese mouse transplanted into a lean recipient was sufficient to cause a significant increase in total body fat, due to enhanced calorie harvest by the transplanted microbiota (Turnbaugh et al. 2006 Nature 444).

The researchers also tested whether these findings in the mouse could be extended to human obesity. As with the mouse, a study of 12 obese human volunteers revealed that the relative number of Bacteroidetes was significantly decreased when compared to lean volunteers. In the same study, obese volunteers who ate a calorie-restricted diet showed a marked recovery of Bacteriodetes that was dependent on weight loss (Ley et al. 2006 Nature 444).

These studies indicate that there may be a microbial component to obesity, and if so, probiotics (the use of bacteria to promote health) may be a future approach to weight loss. However, there remain several key issues to be resolved before such therapeutic potential is explored. For example, in humans, it is unclear whether the bacterial composition of the gut determines, or is the determined by, body weight. Furthermore, it is difficult to predict whether the modest changes in caloric extraction between obese and lean people will translate into meaningful weight loss. Nonetheless, these studies do suggest that factors other than diet, exercise and
genetics may play a role in the growing epidemic of obesity.

EVCO (Extra Virgin Coconut Oil)  
Answer (Published   January 24, 2007)

The safest moisturizer that I recommend is pure coconut oil.  It is inexpensive and all natural - the important point that needs to be understood is that anything applied to the skin is absorbed by the body and processed through the organs. 

Think twice before you apply any topical lotions or your body will absorb moisturizers to your skin!

The Truth About Coconut Oil


Coconut oil is truly the healthiest oil you can consume. It is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being antiviral, antibacterial and anti fungal, and contains no trans fat (even olive oil has some trans fat). You can even use it on your skin to help prevent wrinkles.

Unfortunately, there is a widespread misconception that coconut oil is bad for you because it contains saturated fat. To really understand the benefits of coconut oil, I suggest you read Dr. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon's article "The Truth About Saturated Fat" to first dispel any lingering notions you may have that all saturated fats are dangerous.

Fats are categorized as either short-, medium-, or long-chain depending on how many carbon molecules they contain. Close to two-thirds of the saturated fat in coconut oil is made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which have antimicrobial properties, are easily digested by the body for quick energy, and are beneficial to the immune system. Far from being dangerous, the saturated fat in coconut oil is actually health promoting.

So how could an oil that is so good for you have gotten such a bad reputation? The answer comes down to simple economics and politics. Based on some flawed studies performed over four decades ago, some of which used primarily hydrogenated coconut oils, a powerful anti-saturated fat movement began. Remember--hydrogenated oils are oils with trans-fatty acids, which have been altered from their original chemical composition and have been shown to raise cholesterol levels and lead to heart disease and other health problems. You should not consume hydrogenated oils, whether it is coconut or another vegetable oil.

Around this time the edible oil industry began to denounce all saturated fats and heavily promote polyunsaturated fats such as canola, soybean, safflower, corn, and other seed and nut oils. However, these oils easily become rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce large amounts of damaging free radicals in the body. What is not commonly known is that these oils can actually cause aging, clotting, inflammation, cancer and weight gain. You can read the article "Secrets of the Edible Oil Industry" for more information.

Fortunately, coconut oil has begun to gain some positive media exposure as researchers realize its health-promoting qualities. However, coconut oil can vary widely in terms of the types of coconuts used, the manufacturing processes used to make the oil, and more, and all of these factors play a major role in the effectiveness of the oil.

Most commercial coconut oils are RBD (refined, bleached, and deodorized). RBD oils do 

contain the medium chain fatty acids, however they also contain chemicals used in processing.

Because of these variations my team and I here researched coconut oil extensively until we found the ideal source. I now highly recommend and offer you what is clearly the premier brand of virgin coconut oil in the United States, Fresh Shores. This virgin coconut oil is not only certified organic, but it also met all our other requirements, including no GMO ingredients, bleaching, deodorizing, refining or hydrogenation. Tropical Traditions also uses fresh coconuts (not "copra" or dried coconuts like most oils) that come from a rural region of the Philippines untainted by urban pollution.

I urge you to try this virgin coconut oil and experience the health benefits for yourself. If you do choose another brand, please be sure that it meets these requirements.

Coconut oil for your skin
Report from a user:

I have dry skin on my whole body (though it is steadily improving as I improve my diet). The driest part of my body seems to be my face, especially if I wash it with a harmful commercial soap.

 The absolute best thing I've found to use is Coconut oil. I only ever buy the Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (EVCO), so that's what I use.

 If I don't use it, my skin becomes flaky, and looks very obviously dry. It will burn and itch in the worst cases (Colorado is a pretty dry state). Coconut oil has never let me down, and my face almost seems to be addicted to it. Nothing else I've tried compares....

 

 

Clay Montmorillonite Clay 

'In the beginning God gave to every people...a cup of clay; and, from this cup...they drank their life'.

We have long heard of people eating clay known as either 'geophagy' (pronounced...gee-off-uh-gee), or, 'pica'. Taber's Cyclopedia Medical Dictionary defines geophagy as 'a condition in which the patient eats inedible substances such as chalk, or earth'.  And, it defines pica as 'a perversion of appetite with cravings for substances not fit for food such as clay, ashes or plaster'.

This craving I perceive is not perverted at all; but, makes sense when you know   what clay contains and what it does for the skin. It has been credited with improving the skin of many people suffering from a wide range of challenges. These include: skin ailments such as eczema and acne, dry skin, oily skin, rashes, sores, bruises, skin discoloration or spots on skin, moles, dandruff and even hair-loss, just to name a few.

Clay provides an impressive assortment of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, sodium and silica -- all alkalizing to the skin and foundational in the production of other elements through nuclear transformations or biological transformations.

In a clay mineral the elements of oxygen, silica, and potassium are spheres arranged in a regular three-dimensional pattern. The spheres are the building-blocks of the clay minerals; and, the arrangement of the spheres determines the type of mineral. The character of the clay mineral group determines the type of clay and its eventual use. In other words, the clay mineral structure gives an understanding of its specific properties.

Among the clays suitable for eating, is Montmorillonite, the most common and the most sought-after. Montmorillonite clay was named after the town of Montmorillon, France where it was first identified. The mineral clay belongs to
a group of clays known as smectite, a word that describes its layered structure. The smectites are one of seven clay mineral groups. Each group contains a certain number of species and variations on the layered structure.

The clay that I recommend for skin and hair care only is structured in a single silica tetrahedron and is the main building-block of Montmorillonite clay and the best clay for the body.

Montmorillonite Clay is an old Home-Remedy that people have used since the beginning of time for various reasons. And it is my personal belief that Montmorillonite Clay was possibly the Manna that was given to the children of Israel by God as they wandered through the wilderness for 40 years.

Its origins are as simple and basic as the old practice of putting mud on a bee sting, spider bite, or snake bite. Montmorillonite Clay comes from deposits near Montmorillon, France and is also found in Redmond, Utah. Geologically speaking, Montmorillonite clay is a volcanic ash which was deposited in sea water. By modern definition it is a swelling-type clay in its 'natural' state with no additives, chemicals or preservatives. The only processing it undergoes is crushing.

                          
What Makes Montmorillonite Clay So Special?

The Montmorillonite Clay minerals occur in very small or colloidal particles. They are extremely fine-grained and thin-layered...more so than any of the other clay minerals. The layers contain ions that are very loosely, bound to one another...and, easily exchangeable. Not only will acidic toxins stick to its outside surface; but, numerous toxic elements and organic matter on the skin or hair will enter the space between the layers.

In addition to its already unique structure, Montmorillonite Clay has a particularly large surface area when properly hydrated with distilled water...which further boosts its adsorptive and absorptive properties. These two words look alike but their difference is critical in understanding the functions of Montmorillonite Clay minerals. Adsorption characterizes the process by which substances stick to the outside surface of the adsorbent medium. The clay possesses unsatisfied ionic bonds around the edges of its mineral particles.  It naturally seeks to satisfy those bonds. For this to happen it must meet with a substance carrying an opposite electrical or ionic charge. When this occurs, the ions held around the outside structural units of the adsorbent medium and the substance are exchanged.

The particles of Montmorillonite Clay carry a negative, electrical charge; whereas, impurities or toxins carry a positive electrical charge. For this very reason Montmorillonite Clay has been used to adsorb the colloidal impurities (alcohol and other exotoxins and mycotoxins) in beer, wine, liquor, and cider.  The impurities in wine carry positive charges; and, can be chelated or coagulated (bound together) and removed by stirring a small amount of negatively-charged Montmorillonite Clay material into the wine or beer. The clay particles attract the mycotoxins or alcohol in the wine or beer and they settle to the bottom of the bottle or glass together.

The process works the same on the skin or hair. When Montmorillonite Clay is placed on the skin the positively-charged exotoxins and mycotoxins are attracted by the negatively-charged edges of the clay mineral.  An exchange reaction occurs; whereby, the clay swaps its ions for those of the other substance. Now electrically satisfied it holds the acidic toxin in suspension until the clay is washed off the skin or hair with warm water.

The term 'active' or 'alive' indicates the ionic exchange capacities of a given
clay mineral. The degree to which the clay mineral ions become active determine its classification as 'alive'. Living bodies are able to grow and change their form and function by taking within themselves 'lifeless' material of certain kinds; and, biologically transforming it into a part of themselves. No dead body can adsorb just as no dead battery can provide energy. It is, physically impossible.  That is why Montmorillonite Clay is such a powerful skin and hair care product.

If you have never used clay before and plan on using it for the first time on your skin expect a REAL TREAT!  Here are some testimonies from people after using the
Young pHorever Montmorillonite Clay for four weeks:

* No more skin rashes

* No more acne

* No more dandruff

* NEW AND, INCREASED HAIR GROWTH!!!

* Less 'wandering-pain' all over my body

* Clearer skin

* Enhanced growth and tissue repair of gums and skin

* Softer skin

* No more brown spots on my skin

* Skin is less dry and feels more hydrated

* After soaking my feet in a water bath of clay no more toe fungus

* My skin feels tighter and younger

* The wrinkles on my face seemed to disappear

* The redness on my face is almost gone after all these years

* It soothed my skin and took away the redness from a sunburn

* Great for bee stings, spider bites and mosquitoes bites
   

          Clay........IT IS ALIVE!!!!!............              

Chemically and structurally Montmorillonite Clay is shaped like a credit card with negative charges on the flat surface and positive charges at the edges. Therefore, the negative charge is many times more powerful than the positive charge. One gram of Montmorillonite Clay has a surface area of 800 square meters. To give that some serious perspective that's about ten football fields! The greater the surface area of the clay the greater the power to pick up positively-charged particles or acidic toxins on the skin many times its own weight.

If we go back to our base physical components we can safely say that we are built from multitudes of particles (from dust you are and to dust you will return) held together by electrical bonds. Electrical forces are what hold atoms and molecules together. Chemical bonds and reactions depend on the electrical forces. Therefore, all chemical reactions are in essence reorganization of electrical forces which continue to be vital at body levels, i.e., tissues and organs. When this is all taken into account a living organism is shown to be an extremely intricate electrical system.

During states of imbalance the vital life-force is weak and incapable of supporting the body and its functions. In states of balance however the opposite occurs: the life-force or 'zeta potential' is strong and able to counteract the state of imbalance (or, should I say spoiling and rotting). What keeps the white blood cells moving and doing their work of clearing out toxins is the energy that feeds it, the substance of life - the 'zeta potential'. The body will not run well; or, will at least run with all sorts of mechanical problems when there is no life-force energy or 'zeta potential' to support it.

When Montmorillonite Clay is put on the skin its vital life-force or 'zeta potential' is released into the dermis of the skin; and, mingles with the vital life-force of the body creating a stronger, more powerful energy in the host. Its, colloidal particles are agents of stimulation and transformation capable of withholding and releasing energy at impulse. The natural magnetic action transmits a remarkable power to the organism and helps to rebuild vital 'potential' through the liberation of latent energy. When it is in contact with the body its very nature compels it to release its vital force: the, vital force from which so many plants and animals feed.

Therefore, in order to create healthly skin and hair the body MUST BE STIMULATED and, stimulated by another working energy like Montmorillonite Clay!
 
When the white cells, the garbage collectors of our body fluids do not function at their best the Montmorillonite Clay supports the body's outer resources (the skin) to awaken the stagnant energy by binding exotoxins and mycotoxins on the surface of the skin or hair. It also supplies the body with the available magnetism to run WELL!  In this way the body's natural immune system has an improved chance of restoring the alkaline pH by removing morbid matter and acidic toxins from the skin or hair thereby maintaining a healthy balance.


How is Montmorillonite Clay Used in the Normal Old Home-Remedies?

The Montmorillonite Clay has a consistency of mustard and is ready to use or it can be mixed in water. Old-Timers would apply the gel/paste directly to the
skin for a drawing-effect as in the case of a bee sting, mosquito bite, boil, spider bite, stinging nettle, etc. If the clay is not covered it will dry out; and, as it dries you will feel it draw and pull. If you want a tightening-effect as in the case of a facial for acne, pimples, or minor cuts leave it on until it is almost, but not totally dry. Then remove with a warm wet washcloth and, splash with warm water to remove all traces of the clay. If you want an even more 'cooling and soothing effect' such as for burns or scrapes and bruises; cover the gel with a plastic covering or wet cloth so that it won't dry out. If users were not sure which technique would suit their needs best they often alternated between covered and uncovered applications of the clay. Montmorillonite Clay has been applied once or twice daily or even left in place on the skin overnight, as desired.

Other external uses for the Montmorillonite Clay have been as a fine talcum powder or a diapering powder.

           Instructions for using Young pHorever Montmorillonite Clay: 
There are many different ways of using the Montmorillonite Clay externally; but, most all start out with the gel. Make the gel about the consistency of mayonnaise or mustard by mixing 2 parts water with 1 part Montmorillonite Clay. Apply generously in a ½ inch to ¾ inch layer directly onto the skin. An alternative that allows for more mobility is to apply the Clay on a piece of 'cheese cloth'; and, fold the cloth as if making a 'burrito'.  Secure to the skin with an 'Ace' bandage.  After applying there are several options:

Uncovered: Some people apply the Montmorillonite Clay leaving it uncovered allowing it to dry.  As it dries it will 'draw' or 'pull'. Remove before the clay is totally dry.

Covered with Cloth:  Covering the Montmorillonite Clay with a
cloth will secure it to the desired spot and cause the clay to dry more slowly.
Doing this enables you to leave the clay in place overnight or to be able to be mobile during the day without the clay transferring to clothing and household furniture. Wetting the cloth with water will slow the drying rate and increase the 'cooling sensation'.  Again remove the clay pack before it is totally dry; and, replace it with a fresh application of Montmorillonite Clay gel, if desired.

Covered with Plastic:  Covering the Montmorillonite Clay with plastic wrap or a plastic bag keeps the clay from drying at all which is the desired effect if you are applying it to a burn.  Even though the clay will not dry when covered with plastic some people prefer to replace it twice daily. Other people have found that even leaving the pack in tact on a burn for two or three days will produce beautiful new 'pink skin'. 

Using the Dry Montmorillonite Clay:  People say using it as a baby powder causes diaper rash to disappear before the next diaper change.  Some people have reported a 'drawing-healing action' when the clay is applied to an open infected wound.
