FYI-HEALTH TALK

How many of you have ‘Witch Hazel’ liquid in your medicine cabinet? I do.

What is WITCH HAZEL?  It is a tree with pliant branches, slender-petaled yellow flowers. Depending on where you live it will bloom either in the early spring or late fall. The dictionary describes the liquid as “an alcoholic solution of a distillate of the bark of a witch hazel” tree.  This liquid is used as a soothing and mildly astringent lotion.

Further research into this amazing plant showed that Witch Hazel is good for relieving swelling, bleeding, itching, minor pain and discomfort caused by minor skin irritations; also the itching, discomfort, and burning caused by hemorrhoids. It is known to contain antioxidant compounds that may protect against sunburn and aging from the sun. The species native to North America, ‘Hamamelis virginiana’ was originally used as folk medicine. The leaves and bark were made into teas and ointments. The gallic acid and tannins it contains may – when taken internally, cause irritation and vomiting. Therefore, taking it internally on a regular basis would not, in my opinion we a wise thing to do. The tannins, however, do make it a potent anti-inflammatory. Other uses include:

• Treating acne – after cleaning and steaming the face, you can apply witch hazel directly on the face and skin. It will cause the tissue to constrict, thereby shrinking the pores. This helps prevent acne causing bacteria from infecting your skin. It can also alleviate other dermatological conditions such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
• Scalp conditions – try rubbing it on the scalp before shampooing your hair. It will relieve itching and tenderness of the scalp, dandruff and dryness.
• Sore throat – try boiling a teaspoon of witch hazel in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes; then gargle with the mixture. It may provide minor relief of a sore throat. Spit it out and do not swallow. I tried putting the witch hazel in a spray bottle; then sprayed enough of it into the back of my throat so I could gargle it, held it there for a few seconds and then spit it out. I found it does relieve the sore -throat pain, but concluded that because of the strength it would work better putting the mixture in the spray bottle and using it that way.
• Infection – I found this interesting (in my research). Per Healthline, “One test tube study…found that the tannins in witch hazel exhibited antiviral effects against both influenza A and human papilloma virus (HPV).” Another test showed it to “inhibit the activity of herpes simplex virus, which is often the culprit behind cold sores.”
• Deodorant – I read years ago that witch hazel could be used as a deodorant by spraying under the arms. I tried it and it worked. I put the full strength liquid in a spray bottle – spray it under the arms and all over my body. It does keep body odor at bay. I usually use it when I run out of other deodorant products, which contain no aluminum. There is no aluminum in witch hazel.

In conclusion: Ointments and extracts can be applied directly to the skin several times a day safely. I would suggest doing an initial skin patch test somewhere on your body to test for allergic reactions and/or unwanted side effects and skin reactions. Research is constantly being done to unearth other benefits of this powerful plant.

GOD BLESS!  

 

 

Hand sanitizers are going to be everywhere in the schools with the kids getting back to school. There are a lot of DIY Hand Sanitizer recipe’s on the internet. DIY’s are good to send to school with your kids as they won’t be so drying. The one’s purchased at the store have so many chemicals in them, basically 2/3 isopropyl alcohol that dries the skin, cause rashes, cracking and even bleeding or weeping sores on the hands. This is caused by long term use, of which has been going on for many, many months already.

Most of the DIY recipe’s use essential oils and they are not used with alcohol. They are usually used with water in diffusers and for other uses they are mixed with a carrier oil.  Many of the essential oils have very strong antiviral and antibacterial properties. They are easy to find and generally are not very expensive. The secret is getting a good quality oil – of which a drop on a piece of paper should evaporate completely, and not leave an  oily residue. This is the way it does on the skin. Antiviral oils include Cinnamon, Lemongrass, Bergamot, Thyme, Lavender, Lemon, Lime and Tea Tree. There are others but these are easier to obtain.

I found a recipe on Dr. Morse’s web site that I like and would like to share. Make the following into a blend.

40 drops essential oil
35 drops lemon essential oil
20 drops cinnamon essential oil
15 drops eucalyptus essential oil
10 drops rosemary essential oil

Store your blend in a dark glass bottle. To make the sanitizer add: 36 drops of the blend – or your own if you have one – to 2 ounces of Aloe Vera gel. Mix it well and pour into a squeeze or pump bottle. (Maybe you have a bottle saved from when you bought sanitizer at the store).  Aloe Vera Gel can be purchased at Walmart and CVS – these are the 2 places I find it. Get the 100% Aloe Vera with no additives. Other wise you can grow your own and use the gel in the leaves. I do that as well.

This is a great DIY Hand Sanitizer. It will not dry, chafe or crack the skin as the Aloe Vera gel is a moisturizer. It is much safer than the store bought sanitizers – especially for children. 

With the pandemonium (pan demon) going on in the world, which many folks have allowed to put and keep them in a panic mode – I would like to share a quote from Dr. Robert Morse, that seems to fit the situation.

“The weak are always consumed in this world. This is just the order of things so that life will continue to perpetuate itself. The strong always survive, one way or another, and this is true cellularly as well. It is vital that the body eliminates its weaknesses to increase its strength.”

Work on fixing your immune systems people. It is the secret to that cellular well being that he is talking about. The immune system is where the strength lies in the body.

     GOD BLESS EVERYONE, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

On the right side of my blog I have a ‘Tips’ and a ‘Quote’ column. I can only fit so many words of each into the space, so I decided to extend those columns by doing blogs regarding ‘tips’ and quotes’.  They will be called ‘Tips Extended’ and ‘Quotes Extended’. They will not be sent together, but as separate blogs. Today, however, I will add a Quote to my Tips.

TIPS:

• When you gain weight you lose nutrients. The body lacks the ability to absorb them.
• Foods that are good to add to your diet to fight of the corona virus as well as all viruses: Oregano (can take in capsule form as an oil), onions, garlic (fresh or oil form in a capsule), ginger, and cinnamon.
• When using oils or starting a supplement routine – do not expect results right away. It may take 3-4 weeks before the result begins to take effect.
• Toxins that it would be wise to eliminate from your home: food additives, food dyes, pesticides, preservatives, fragrances (perfume), chemicals in personal care products such as make-up, shampoo, candles, nail polish, tooth paste, to include phalates, parabens, triclosan (lead in wicks of candles). Get plants to pull the toxins out of the air in your house.
• EMF’s suppress the immune system. EMF’s are emitted from cell phones, cordless phones, computers, wifi routers, the circuit breaker in your house.
• Have you ever heard of Sunflower Seed Oil? This is a first for me. I know Sunflower Seeds have always been touted as a good seed to eat, but knew little about the oil. It seems sunflower seed oil contains beneficial linoleic acid – which has skin barrier-enhancing properties. On tested volunteers, applying 6 drops of sunflower seed oil to their forearm twice daily for 5 weeks showed and improvement of the integrity of the outer layer of their skin as well as improved hydration. Remember to us only USDA Certified Organic sunflower seed oil.
• Viruses – One of the most important factors to remember is that a virus literally cannot survive in a clean body!  Bacteria and viruses are nature’s clean up crew and exist solely to consume dead, decaying and/or damaged tissue.  If the lymphatic system is healthy, with lymph flowing properly and kidneys filtering, there is nothing for a “pathogen” to eat.  Without a food source, they cannot survive. (Compliments from Dr. Morse’s Health Club)

THEIR WHOLE LIFE SHEEP ARE SCARED OF THE WOLF –

 

BUT IN THE END IT IS THE SHEPHERD

WHO EATS THEM!

Food for thought!                                                MAY GOD BLESS US ALL!

Taking a person’s temperature is becoming common place during this pandemic. It is being done by the means of an infrared thermometer gun. This is one of the most dangerous guns out there. Having this done on a regular basis, especially if you are working for a company that has mandated it, will eventually render you sick and lead to the calcification of the pineal gland. Infrared rays that are used in air fryers for cooking, cook the food from the inside out. That is why there is very little burning of food. In my opinion that is what an infrared (radiation) thermometer gun aimed at your head will do over a period of time, when done on a regular basis. It will cook the pineal gland and render it useless. This will lead to a myriad of health issues.

What is the PINEAL GLAND? 

The pineal gland is a small, flattened, cone-shaped gland located behind and just above the eyebrows and is connected to the roof of the 3rd ventricle of the brain. The pineal gland connects the endocrine system with the nervous system in that it converts nerve signals from the sympathetic system of the peripheral nervous system into hormone signals. It synthesizes melatonin, which is a hormone that relaxes you and aids in the sleep process. Melatonin is inhibited by light striking the retina. The pineal gland is regulated by light – internal and external. The pineal gland is sometimes referred to as the “third eye”, because of its location near the middle of the forehead. It consists of ependymal cells and neuroglia embedded in connective tissue stroma. It influences immune system function and antioxidant activity. (Research: Dr. Robert Morse N.D., a copied post of an Australian Nurse, and the internet)

SUMMARY: To stay safe, an infrared thermometer must never be pointed at someone’s forehead, especially babies and young children and in my opinion anyone, period. Our pineal glands must be protected as it is crucial for everyone’s health both now and in the future. Placing a thermometer on the wrist or fold of the elbow is much more accurate and much less harmful.

This blog is being sent as ‘food for thought.’ My question: Is this practice being used to desensitize us into getting used to it as a method, in the future, of extermination?

UPDATE: Since I wrote this blog I have found out that “FLUORIDE” will also damage the Pineal Gland. It ‘calcifies it’. That means it hardens it. This destruction will eventually lead to death.

When we take things into our bodies that are harmful, it sometimes takes years for the destruction to emerge. HOW LONG HAVE WE ALL BEEN TAKING FLUORIDE INTO OUT SYSTEMS by way of water being treated, toothpastes being used and many other means. No wonder DEMENTIA, ALZHEIMER’S disease, and babies being born with FATAL DISEASES is on the rise. This wee small – size of a pea gland, that helps to control our emotions, our memory, our feelings, the functioning of the brain for all aspects of our lives is slowly being destroyed AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.

I quit drinking fluorinated water years ago. I don’t allow the dentist to ‘put fluoride on my teeth, I haven’t used toothpaste with fluoride in it for many years. I stay away from anything that is fluoride infested.

YOU – WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS SHOULD START NOW – GET AWAY FROM FLUORIDE – SAVE YOUR CHILDREN AND YOURSELVES FROM THE CONTINUED DESTRUCTION OF THEIR, AND YOUR, BODIES BY NOT ONLY THE EATING OF THE STANDARD AMERICAN DIET, BUT ALSO OF THE CHEMICALS IN FLU SHOTS AND ALL THE REST OF THE SHOTS THE DOCTORS ARE PUSHING INTO YOUR CHILD’S ARMS FROM THE DAY THEY ARE BORN THROUGH ALL THE YEARS OF THEIR LIVES.

We don’t need COVID to eliminate the population of the world. It has been happening for years – SLOWLY and WITHOUT our KNOWLEDGE. We have, in my opinion, become not ONLY the receivers of the good of science, but we have become THE VICTIMS OF SCIENCE. 

STAND UP FOR YOUR GOD GIVEN FREEDOM AND INTELLIGENCE. DON’T BE SO QUICK TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE AND HEAR. RESEARCH SCIENCE FOR YOURSELVES AND THEN YOU WILL MAKE ‘BETTER CHOICES’. 

GOD, PLEASE PROTECT US FROM ALL OF THE EVIL IN THE WORLD TODAY! and continue GOD, to BLESS AMERICA!   

Keep this in mind as you learn about the following – Americanism versus Communism.

I’ve done days and hours of research on this subject. It is for information only. Everyone has – or hopefully still has their freedom of choice. I am not telling anyone what to do or the decisions they should make. Everyone is free to do their own research for verification.

What do you know or want to know about Communism, Marxism, Socialism? It’s a given that they all have the same agenda. But for this blog I will reference Communism. Communism is acknowledged by all European Powers to be itself a power. Today’s society has sprouted from the ruins of a feudal society riddled with class antagonism, establishing today, new versions of classism, new conditions of oppression. The result is the splitting of society up into two great hostile camps. For life times it has been about the good versus the bad. GOD vs the ADVERSARY.

CHAOS: TV and the media in today’s world play a huge role in helping the citizens of America make decisions, from where to live, what to wear, what to eat, what is right, what is wrong, what is politically correct and what is not. The political base when it comes to this years Election – to make it simple, is, rightism vs. leftism via Republican vs. Democrat. They are 2 very different ruling classes with 2 different agendas in relationship as to how to take or maintain control of the working class people. The working class people have been controlled by the political base for many years. It started in Genesis in the bible, with the story of Adam and Eve. The measure of control then was God versus the Adversary. It still is today. Let’s compare the two.

In the bible we learn that Jesus is of God and for God, Satan, the Adversary, is anti-God. The bible is full of God’s principles, doctrine and commandments. It tells us little of Satan’s principles or doctrine other than, as the Adversary, he wanted then, and still does now, to have total control of the people. So how is this done? In the NOW, here in America it will be facilitated by way of the November Election. We will be voting for the RIGHT, Conservatives who function under God’s laws via the Ten Commandments, or the LEFT, Democrats who function under the Adversarial laws via Communism/Marxism/Socialism.

LETS DIFFERENTIATE!

What are the Ten Commandments? The Ten Commandment are ten laws in the Bible that God gave to the nations of Israel shortly after the exodus from Egypt. They are essentially a summary of 613 or more commandments contained in the Old Testament Law. The first four commandments deal with our relationship with God. The remaining six commandments deal with our relationships with one another. They are as follows as recorded in the Bible in Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. They represent AMERICANISM.

In the King James version of the bible the words thou and ‘thy’ are used in reference to ‘you’ and ‘yours’. I credit this version of the 10 Commandments to the Got Questions Ministries. They present a simplified version with a description to clarify the commandment if anyone should have a question with it. According to which bible you are reading, there are differently worded versions of the Ten Commandments. However, they all basically say the same thing.

1. “You shall have no other gods before me.” This command is against worshiping any god other than the one true God. All other gods are false gods.
2. “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
3. “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.” In short some versions of the commandments read, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD your god in vain.” We are not to treat God’s name lightly. We are to show reverence to God by only mentioning Him in respectful and honoring ways.
4. “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your GOD. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, or your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” This command sets Saturday as the last day of the week to work, leaving the seventh day Sunday as a day of rest dedicated to the Lord.
5. “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.” This commandment speaks to treating one’s parents with honor and respect.
6. “You shall not kill (murder).” This is a command against the premeditated murder of another human being.
7. “You shall not commit adultery.” This is a command against having sexual relations with anyone other than one’s spouse.
8. “You shall not steal.” This is a command against taking anything that is not one’s own, without the permission of the person to whom it belongs.
9. “You shall not bear (give) false witness (testimony) against your neighbor.” This command prohibits testifying against another person falsely. It is essentially a command against lying.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” This is a command against desiring anything that is not one’s own. Coveting can lead to breaking one of the commandments listed above: murder, adultery and theft. If it is wrong to do something, it is wrong to desire to do that same something.

These are simple laws by which mankind has lived for centuries without any major issues. They are given to man by the GOD that gave man his freedom of choice.

Two additional Commandments were given which are referred to as the Greater Commandments.
First: “Thou shalt love the LORD, thy God, with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind and all of your strength.”
Second, like unto the first: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Matthew 22:36-40)

In comparison – the following Agenda is a short version of the laws of the Adversary via the Communist Manifesto – published by Karl Marx On February 21, 1848.  It was written by Karl Marx with the assistance of Friedrich Engels.

1. Destroy America and all that it stands for. History is obsolete and not  necessary.
2. Destroy God and those who believe there is a God.
3. Destroy the Family Unit. Parents are not fit to raise the children they bear.
4. Get rid of police.
5. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax to be employed on the people.
6. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
7. Confiscation of the property of all rebels.
8. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
9. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
10. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (Already taking place) where food is grown for the ruling class and not the working class of people. The food will be distributed to the working class by the Government by way of Food Lines.
11. Gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
12. Education of the children in public schools to be under the direction of the government. (new rules, regulations and subjects to be chosen by ruling force that will teach the children to comply with government control in all factions of life.)
13. There will be only one ruling political power. The rights of the ordinary citizen will be taken away.
14. There will be a one world church with the dogma to be taught changed from what you have learned in the free world to be that chosen by the ruling political power. You will not believe in God.
15. Anyone opposing the ruling political power will be killed.
16. Killing is good, criminals will not be prosecuted because they will be subject to the ruling political power and their agenda. Killing depopulates the world and gets rid of the opposing class of people. That is good. Choice of killing method is that of decapitation. (Read the Obama Health Care Plan- where doctors will have the right to prescribe death for patients he feels to be no longer useful in this world). This is in a medical code which is changed frequently so it is hard to find and follow.

There is more, yes, so much more. You need to research it for yourself. If and when you do, you have the rest of the story as it is already unfolding right before your eyes. You are all wondering what the pandamonium we have been living is all about. It is about the reconstruction of society under a New World Order of EVIL LEADERS. 

There are many Communist controlled countries in the world today. In short, the Communists/Marxists/Socialists everywhere support  every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order in the United States of America today. The C/M/S disdain to conceal their views and aims. However, they openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.

The politics of the election this year is about your choice of what will be GOOD for the welfare of the people, or what will be BAD for the welfare of the people. It is an ELECTION FOR YOUR CHOOSING GOD OR THE ADVERSARY/SATAN.

WHAT KIND OF A WORLD DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND. GET OUT OF YOUR PLACE OF COMPLACENCY. TAKE OFF THE ROSE COLORED GLASSES. THE CHOICE IS NOW – OR PLAN ON LIVING THROUGH THE CATASTROPHIC DESCRIPTIONS THAT ARE WRITTEN ABOUT IN THE BIBLE. THE LORD HAS PROPHESIED WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BE LIKE. WE JUST DON’T KNOW THE TIME – HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO CHRISTIANS ON ALL THE CONTINENTS OF THE UNIVERSE, THE TIME IS SHORT!

Paraphrasing the words in the bible – You cannot serve two masters, you must choose one or the other. It is between GOD or MAMMON (SATAN)

Your choice is Right or it is Wrong. It is Good or it is Bad. There is no gray area. There is no in-between! What do you want your future to look like?

                       

MAY GOD ALWAYS BLESS AMERICA!

 

When I come across videos that I think are worth sharing, I like to put them on my site. I thought this might be of interest to some of you. Enjoy, even if there is nothing about Covid-19 that is enjoyable. I’ll let the video speak for itself.

WE REALLY NEED GOD TO BLESS US ALL!

 

 

WARTS – these pesty things can drive you nuts. The latest I’ve heard regarding the natural way to get rid of them is, that taking Black Elderberry is good. Putting NEEM OIL on the wart will eventually make it go away. According to Dr. Bob Martin, these all work. The big thing, which I didn’t know about Warts is that sugar and junk food feeds them. Also, according to Dr. Bob Martin.

Wart infection can be described as:

• Mild – just one or a few painless lesions
• Moderate – 10–20 lesions that are painless
• Severe – pain that limits normal life activities, bleeding, or over 20 lesions, except for flat warts, which can be numerous, yet not bothersome.

Other Ways to get rid of them include – but note the caution.

• Over-the-counter wart removers have a high percentage of salicylic acid and work by dissolving away the layer of skin infected with the virus. This treatment needs to be used daily and can sometimes be irritating if it touches unaffected skin around the wart.
• Duct tape applied daily to the affected area seems to work for unknown reasons. The tape should be very sticky and kept on for a few days.
• Over-the-counter freezing medications are available but have not been found to be very effective.
• Coupled with the above therapies, the wart should be soaked in warm water, and any loose skin should be removed every few days with a mild abrasive, like a pumice stone.
• Family members should avoid sharing personal items such as towels.
• When all else fails, make an appointment with a good Dermatologist.

MIGRAINE– known to most of you as a headache, and who many are plagued with can be devastating. According to a study published in the journal ‘Headache’, “among individuals who suffer from migraine headache, there is a greater risk of low levels of vitamin B12, and higher levels of methylmalonic acid – which increases with B12 deficiency.” As of  late it is being said to be the result of ‘mask wearing’ on a long term basis.

LAUGHTER – who would have thought that laughing can be an exercise. Brian Vaszily stated that “laughing 100 times is equivalent to 15 minutes of exercise on a stationary bike.”

PILLOWS – What do you know about ‘pillows’? There are many different kinds, and you individually buy what works for you. BUT, have you ever considered the fact that your choice in a pillow could make you sick?

Little known facts:

• Pillows can ‘outgas’ chemicals that are easily inhalable; with foam pillows being the worst as they may release what is known as VOCs. Organic chemical compounds which are everywhere in both indoor and outdoor environments because they have become essential ingredients in many products and materials. VOCs are volatized or released into the air mostly during manufacture or use of everyday products and materials. VOCs are of concern as both indoor and outdoor air pollution.
• These VOC chemicals are linked to cancer, headaches, memory impairment, vision problems, and liver, kidney and nervous system damage. And, because of contact with the skin can also cause eczema and dermatitis.
• How to fix it? Try sleeping without a pillow if you have any of the earlier named health issues or symptoms of. Avoid synthetic petroleum-based foam and choose pillows made of wool, cotton, natural latex foam or plant-based fillings. DO YOUR RESEARCH, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES, to discover what is better for you than what you already have.

RAZORS – use to be used by only men, but now are used by both men and women. Shaving any part of the body can cause an inflammatory response in your skin, leading to soreness and inflammation. If you have experienced this, you probably don’t have a long term love affair with your razor. This leads to buying razor, after razor, after razor. So, how can you avoid this? By taking better care of it:

1. Don’t store your razor in the shower. This creates an environment for bacteria build up which hides in the razor’s nooks and crannies. This build up when it comes in contact with an open sore, or razor nick can lead to infection.

2. Prolonged moisture can create oxidation, microscopic rusting, and corrosion on the blade. This leads to a rough, or no hair removal shave.

3. Rinse your razor well after each shave to remove debris, and dry it on a towel. You can even dry it with a hair dryer – which will remove the water quicker and more efficiently, to avoid any kind of rusting.

4. Store your razor in a dry place, not the puddle of water on the edge of the sink or tub. And place it with the blades pointing up.

5. When you notice your razor showing signs of rusting or being dull which increases the risk of nicks or tugging sensations on your skin, it is TIME TO REPLACE YOUR RAZOR.

Lots of FOOD FOR THOUGHT HERE!

GOD BLESS!

Whether you are working, not working, retired or not – being sequestered in the house watching TV all day is bordemic – I just coined a new word. Therefore I think it is time for a foodemic. I’ve been going through some of my old, old,  eating inventions (recipes) and want to share some of them with you.

In order to stay healthy, I suggest eating a lot of fruits, and vegetables. Since my eating habits have changed drastically from when these recipes were first put together, I have made some changes, as I will note in the recipe.

This first recipe is one my sister gave me – note the changes. It is a delightful non-alcoholic summer drink.

MINT JULEP 
5           lemons juiced
1 1/2 c sugar (I use ‘Xylo Sweet’ a natural Xylitol Sweetener)
1 1/2 c water (I use purified water)
Fresh Mint – a lot
Ginger Ale

Boil sugar and water for 5 minutes. Cool. Add lemon juice. Pour over mint leaves. Add more water to completely emerge mint. Soak 24 hrs. Remove leaves. Add Ginger Ale. Enjoy!

This next drink I named before I ever knew there was such a thing as a ‘smoothie’.

FRUIT SALAD FROST
1 c  whole fresh cranberries (not cooked)
1/2 can frozen orange juice
1     banana
1     carrot – cut into small pieces
1     small can crushed pineapple
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c milk – I use the nut milks, almond, coconut, etc.
1 T  protein powder – optional
2 c  ice

Blend – in any good blender that will chop the cranberries and carrots. I use a VitaMix blender. If there is not enough liquid, increase the milk. With this recipe you can make it your own by adding yogurt, or other juices – be creative.

Have to have a main dish. This one is my favorite when it comes to fish. I found this recipe in the newspaper over 50 years ago.

HALIBUT AU GRATIN
1 1/2 lbs. Halibut                                                  SAUCE
water                                                                        2 c milk ( I use coconut milk)
1 tsp. salt                                                                 1/2 tsp. salt
5 peppercorns                                                       1/8 tsp. white pepper                              1 onion sliced                                                         1/4 tsp. dry mustard                                1/4 c butter                                                             2 c  shredded cheddar cheese              1/4 c flour                                                                1/2 c  buttered bread crumbs              1 bayleaf                                                                   1 T chopped parsley                                1/2 lemon slice                                                      Paprika

Cook Halibut in water to cover. Add salt, peppercorns, onion, bay leaf, and lemon slices. Bring to a boil. reduce heat, cover, simmer 5 minutes. Set aside.

Sauce: Melt butter, stir in flour. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly. Cook 1-2 minutes. Mix in salt pepper and mustard.  Remove from heat. Add  1 1/2 cups cheese and stir until melted.

Divide Halibut into chunks. I bake in real clam shells. Put equal amounts of fish into each shell. Spoon sauce over the fish in each shell. Sprinkle with remaining 1 c cheese, bread crumbs, and paprika. BAKE: 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve. This is so good.

Last but not least – Desert. I love coconut and avocado, so I started experimenting years ago on how I could make it without using an ice cream maker. Here is what I came up with. Simple and easy.

COCONUT AVOCADO ICE CREAM
2  average size avocados (I use Haus)
1   can Coconut milk (I like the thick milk. They have a ‘light’ milk, but the creamy milk works better)
1 T fresh squeezed lime juice, for better flavor. Helps keep the green color.
3 T Agave Syrup (can use real maple syrup, but I like the ‘agave’ because it doesn’t change the flavor of the finished product).

Prepare the avocado by mashing them in a bowl with a fork. I leave mine a little lumpy, but you can mash them smooth. I spray a little lime juice on and set aside.

Whisk the coconut cream in a bowl, add the lime juice and agave syrup. Whisk until well mixed. Add the mashed avocado. Whisk until mixture is smooth. Put the bowl in the freezer for about 1 hour. After the hour, stir the mixture again. Place in a different container, and return to the freezer for 2-3 hours or until you are ready to eat it. For coconut and avocado lovers, this is a great combination. Can top with toasted flake coconut and chopped almonds. Be creative.  MMMMM Good!

DID YOU KNOW – WATERCRESS  is an antioxidant. This qualifies it as a superfood. It is a cruciferous vegetable, like brussels sprouts and broccoli. Eating just 3/4 cups a day may reduce DNA damage in your body while boosting the antioxidant status. (American Journal of Nutrition). It is linked to improving skin tone and texture, and reducing wrinkles and brown spots.

Love to you all.

MAY GOD BLESS AND HEAL THE WHOLE WORLD!
