Stomach and Digestion Problems???

Many of us have issues with our tummy girgling and hurting from the foods we eat. I have personally dealt with some of these issues, as well as my boy. I've found GNLD's Acidophilus, and Enzymes help tremendously! Takes away that girgle!

My boy has eczema, and when avoiding dairy he does so much better. At least we have found his trigger. The first recommendation I would offer is FIND WHAT TRIGGERS IT! This isn't always easy, but if you start by eliminating dairy for a good month, you will soon see if that is the problem. Other triggers could be wheat, gluten and other foods. For my boy he uses the Acidophilus daily, and when he wants to cheat, he uses the Enzymes. In fact, he loves them!

Other ailments that can relate to digestion etc., gerd, even hiatle hernias. I personally experienced gerd, and when using GNLD's Aloe Vera Plus morning (on an empty stomach), at night, and every time in between that I felt it, I noticed immediate relief. In fact, after 2 months on it solid, I cured myself of the problem all together. After only a couple weeks I could cut way back, and didn't need it for the in between stages. I love the Aloe Vera Plus, it really does work.

I have also done a little research, and for digestive issues, stomach ulcers, and I believe gerd as well, try 1/4 to a full teaspoon of cayenne pepper disolved in warm water...shoot it down. Do this once a day. I noticed relief from a stomach ulcer after only a day! Amazing!

FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply..

*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, espec ially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have h igh caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods th at contain fat. He said that the combina tion of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Pa per isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Don't Wait Until Tomorrow...Start Today!!!

You've heard the old saying, "I'll go on a diet tomorrow, but I gotta eat today..." well, the same pertains to pretty much any change we talk about making. There's always tomorrow, but what about right now?

I am still not where I long to be, but I am on the road, and have learned many things along the way. I have always been more in tune with doing things that are better for me, but after losing my Mom to cancer in 2004 I was on a mission to find what would work best to help keep me healthy. After trying and researching many products I finally found what I believe has got to be one of the best, and purest whole food product lines around!

As I began to change some simple things in my diet...reading labels, substituting bad things for better things, I also came across GNLD. A sweet friend who didn't even know me at the time had offered to drop off my co-op food, I soon learned her heart was the same as mine. Through our conversation she led me to GNLD and I am thrilled that she did.

I have made changes like grinding my own flours, which seemed to be a huge hurdle, and ended up being the easiest thing ever to do. Then I added other things, organic, raw etc. I am still trying to get in a better habit of fresh, raw fruits and veggies daily, plus leafy greens. I am hoping to continue to turn things around so that I pass on something better to my children and hopefully my grandchildren some day!

My goal on this blog is to offer information that will help you make changes that won't overwhelm you, and give you hope for a healthier you! I am also going to share testimonies of people who's lives have been changed by these products. People with cholesterol problems, cancer, RA, fatigue, depression and much more. If you are interested in our whole food line please stay up to date on my blog, or feel free to email me at: etm5@q.com for more info.

Stay healthy, live well, laugh often, and love unconditionally!
God bless...Tonya Risser
