Natural Health Is Best
How To Protect Yourself And Family
Cleansing the bloodstream and colon
At least twice a year is one of the most important keys to maintaining true health. Ultimately we recommend a blood and colon cleansing 2 - 4 times a year. The body must have healthy, nourished blood to complete its task of feeding the cells, replacing the worn out parts, and carrying away the waste products that are produced within the bloodstream. Likewise, the colon must be cleaned out to eliminate accumulated mucous, toxins, and hardened feces in order to allow absorption of nutrients from our foods and supplements.
There are different ways you can do this. Info Coming!
Benefits of fermented vegetables:
- Improves digestion: fermenting pre-digests the food before we consume it and directly supplies our digestive tract with living cultures that are key to breaking down what we eat and making sure it assimilates into our system.
- Balances gut flora: say “goodbye” to constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, yeast infections, allergies and ailments like asthma (linked to a lack of good bacteria in the gut)—fermented foods are loaded with the good flora our systems need to thrive.
- Rich in enzymes: properly digest and assimilate the food/nutrients you eat with enzyme-rich fermented foods—don’t just ingest your food, absorb it.
- Preserve your food: make sure the food you buy and grow doesn’t go to waste—fermented foods keep for months thanks to “bio-preservatives” that are created through the fermentation process (alcohol, lactic acid and acetic acid). By nature’s design, they retain nutrients and prevent spoilage.
- Save money: fermenting foods is inexpensive, for a few dollars you have powerhouse foods that last and nourish.
- Shed extra lbs: most of the time, extra fat on our body is stress and toxins—improve digestion and assimilation and watch the excess go “bye bye.”
- Increased energy: consuming live, pre-digested foods adds zip to the body instead of depleting it (no labored digestion).
- Boost immunity: when bad bacteria dominates, poorly digested food (and fungus) spread around the body and can lead to ailments like leaky gut syndrome. This increases inflammation, which manifests in numerous autoimmune disorders like arthritis and diabetes. Reset the important friendly bacteria balance, and in turn charge up your immunity.
- Clear skin: friendly bacteria decrease the toxic load on our bodies—since our skin is one of the greatest outlets for toxins, you’ll see your skin repair and glow.
- Improve liver function: rid the body of toxins and help assist the liver in its cleansing functions.
- Detoxify: our beneficial bacteria pals grab hold of toxins like mercury, lead, aluminum and arsenate and makes sure they are removed from our bodies in the form of productive #2s.
- Sharp thinking/memory: it is known that our guts are our second brain (ie: “what does your gut say?”), heal the gut and say goodbye to mental fog, depression and anxiety.

ADDING KEFIR TO OUR DIET
KEFIR IS NOT TO BE MISTAKEN WITH YOGURT
Benefits of Kefir:
Helps to establish gut flora
Extremely important to maintaining body systems
Resulting in “healthy flora” making up to 80% of the GI tract
The role of 20% microbes like candida that are beneficial in small amounts
given this ratio, they properly perform their tasks of regulating our metabolism
producing various hormones and nutrients, preventing the growth of harmful bacteria.
This helps to protect our Immune System in a natural way.
Kefir will help your gut to regain this equilibrium – fostering better health.
Your Immune System will function much better.
Unchecked candida – where it dominates – can often cause frequent headaches
and cloudy thinking.
Food allergies and rashes can also occur, leading to other health problems. They do not always show up straight away. Stress and poor diet (low quality foods) various antibiotics and medications are known to throw our gut flora out of wack, that results in unhealthy flora playing a dominant role we hear of as “candida” that affects more people than you would think.
Candida is the common underlying cause of many health maladies in our modern-day. It’s often the reason why we feel tired and lethargic, unmotivated….. and also for unexplained irritability. Insomnia is very common. This can be not being able to get to sleep or waking up between 1-3am and finding it difficult to get back to sleep or waking up every hour or so.
Candida affects liver function. Anxiety, panic and depression can occur from a build up of toxins in the liver and it fails to function properly. Unhealthy flora builds up this toxicity in our system and our immune system is compromised also.
When our liver is functioning harmoniously, we can stay calmer. When you are healthy you’re happy. And the happier you are, the stronger your immune system will be. Our liver and Immune System need to be built up to maintain their integrity and function well. Constant use of antibiotics (3 or more times a year) actually hinders your immune system – it can also
thrash it…….the liver has more toxicity to handle than it should have. Candida does not help!
Candida Albicans not only causes inflammation; it also uses that inflammation to
colonize your gut.
Certain types of food increase the risk of inflammation. They include trans fats, sugar, white bread and alcohol. There is a significant overlap between inflammatory foods and those which can lead to a Candida overgrowth.
Apart from insomnia, candida can cause nightmares and restless sleep as well.
The probiotics in Kefir help to balance our endocrine system (glands) they create natural antibiotics. They will also help us to colonize our gut with healthy bacteria as it deals with the other. Most people these days, have only 10% healthy flora and 90% unhealthy. With the addition of Kefir to a healthy diet, you can achieve the healthy 80% 20% ratio. This is one of the sure ways to optimum health!
