Better Health through Better Nutrition !

For : Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)


Millions suffer indigestion which is aggravated by pure digestion and weak saliva juices.
Before mealtime, sip one teaspoon of Braggs Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and hold in your mouth for a minute before swallowing.


Also good for heartburn/indigestion are kiwis. Kiwis contain wonderful enzymes that soothe the stomach. Eating several kiwi fruits following a heavy meal will help relieve a bloated feeling, heartburn or acid indigestion.

Any kind of lettuce is wonderful for treating acid indigestion and heartburn in place of antacids such as Tums.

In a blender, whip up half of a cut lettuce leaf with 8 to 10 oz, of ice cold water until you have a nice semi-thick green puree of near milkshake proportions. Drink slowly to relieve stomach upset. A little raw organic unfiltered unheated honey may be added for flavoring.


FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE:


1. Drink two tablespoons of raw organic unfiltered unheated honey in a glass. Add 2 tablespoons of Braggs brand Organic Apple Cider Vinegar; fill the glass with water and then sip it slowly.




FOR KIDNEY AND BLADDER PROBLEMS:


1. Eat watermelon seeds. This is a great kidney-bladder cleanser and healer.

2. You can also eat fresh watermelon daily.

3. You can also try this drink:


Try marshmallow herbal tea three times daily. Add one teaspoon Braggs brand organic Apple Cider Vinegar to each cup and sweeten with one teaspoon of buckwheat honey.



4. Drink organic, unsweetened cranberry juice.




FOR HEADACHES/MIGRAINE:



When the body triggers a headache, the urine is alkaline rather than the normal acid. The kidneys are disturbed by the emotions and it means the body is off-balance. Braggs brand Organic Apple Cider vinegar helps relieve headaches by aiding the kidneys to return urine to normal acidity ( average 6.4 ph )


For pain, use Bromelain 500 mg. Acts like aspirin without the toxic stomach upset.


Also, in a vaporizer or small pan, put three tablespoons of Braggs brand Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and two cups purified water. Bring to a boil. As vapor begins to rise, turn heat off, put towel over head and lean over steam, taking five deep slow breaths of the steam vapors.


For migraine; to one cup of hot water, add three teabags of Organic Black Tea and steep for twenty minutes until very strong. Then drink while still warm, but not so hot as to burn the tongue or injure the inside of the mouth.


For headache/stress/tension; you may also nibble on cauliflower buds and also radishes.






TO LOWER BLOOD CHOLESTEROL:


1. Eat half an avocado every other day to help drop cholesterol down.






FOR YOUR KIDNEY:


Cooked asparagus and its juices are very good to help dissolve uric acid deposits. Useful too in cases of HYPERTENSION, where the amount of sodium in the blood far exceeds the potassium present. Cooked asparagus also increases bowel evacuations.





FOR INSOMNIA/RESTLESSNESS


Ripe passion fruit makes a wondeful sedative for jangled nerves. A cup of passion fruit 30 minutes before retiring can release muscle spasms, jumpy or restless nerves and facial neuralgia.



A combination of three tablespoons of Raw Organic Unfiltered Unheated Honey with the fresh juice of a lemon and an orange mixed in half a glass of water is advised.

Vitamin D appears to be an effective sleep aid for those deficient in serotonin. Taking a calcium/magnesium powder named "Calm" will help to quickly restore sleep. When waking in the middle of the night, mix a teaspoon of Calm in a half glass of water and it will put you back to sleep.
Liquid Vitamin D3 is the best. Average sized women (120 to 150 lbs) should take 10,000 i.u. each day for the FIRST WEEK before reducing the dosage to 4000 i.u. a day ( 2000 i.u. at bedtime and another 2000 i.u. either in the morning)

Men from 170 lbs and up can take 15,000 i.u. for the FIRST WEEK before reducing the dosage . Suggested dose is 2500 i.u. per 100 lbs (44 kilos)

Take L-Tryptophan ( I trust "Source Naturals" brand and/or St. John's Wort ( I trust FLORA brand). L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid in the human diet.Excellent fto combat stress,depression and insomnia.






HOW TO GET MORE POTASSIUM IN ORDER TO PREVENT AND REDUCE HYPERTENSION:


1. Most ideal are navy beans ( 1 cup= 750 mg of potassium )

or Lima Beans ( 1 cup= 1163 mg of potassium ). Gives the body the potassium power it needs to prevent and reduce hypertension.

2. Others are:

(1 cup portions )


red kidney - 629 mg
pinto - 670 mg
black eyed peas - 573 mg
chickpeas or garbanzos - 570 to 590 mg

3. Take one cayenne capsule ( 40,000 hu ) daily with a meal.


4. Take 100 mgs regular-released niacin ( B3) with one meal daily to help cleanse and open the cardiovascular system. Also improves MEMORY.


After cholesterol level reaches 180 or lower, then only take niacin twice weekly.










FOR GOUT/ARTHRITIS:


1. Eat a minimum of 15 raw sweet cherries per day.
or

Drink a cherry juice concentrate ( one tablespoon 4 times a day )


2. Drink a tea made from the cherry stems. just bring two pints of water to a boil, then throw in a handful of stems, reduce heat and simmer for 7 minutes, then remove and let steep' covered for 20 more minutes. Drink at least 3 cups a day to keep the gout/arthritis under control.





FOR GOOD ELIMINATION;


Add two tablespoons of psyllium husk powder daily- to your Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (with Organic Raw Honey added )...... one hour after dinner.








FOR EXTREMELY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:



Use a 2 day Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and Water Fast Program with nothing to eat for 48 hours.

Have a Braggs Cocktail ( Apple Cider Vinegar with Organic Raw Honey ) six times daily plus six glasses of Water- a total of 12 glasses.



In 48 hours, usually blood pressure will drop to almost normal. Chances are the buzzing in the ears will cease and the headache will stop.





FOR ARRYTHMIA AND HEART STRENGTHENING:


Braggs brand Apple Cider Vinegar helps remove artery plaque! Be sure to take Magnesium Orotate and the heart combo of COQ10, Folic Acid, B6 and B12. Also take your basic three cocktails of the following:

b. Take one glass upon arising, one hour before lunch and one hour before dinner.

Two handfuls of cashews give you the therapeutic value of a prescription dose of Prozac for depression.
