Move stagnated energy into transformation
Feel Vibrant Again!
My skin glows with youth!
I've been doing a lot of research on health and detoxing.
Not sure if there is a general awareness on CureZone - I did a search and may have missed it - about some interesting discoveries that Dr. John Gray (the "mars and venus" relationship guy) made on nutrition.
He circled the globe and interviewed all of the peoples around the world that live really long, and based upon that synthesized some diet and exercise recommendations.
My husband and I have incorporated his suggestions in terms of a quick shake, and we've added some ingredients of our own based upon recent research. This is the energy shake that for us - at least - never fails to give us that incredible energetic boost that is not followed by a crash.
I keep all of the dry ingredients on the counter in my kitchen and just scoop it up into a waiting shake blender (the small kind not the big expensive hard to clean kind) :)
Takes 5 minutes.
You can get all of the ingredients mailed to your door - cheap and plentiful - via http://www.vitacost.com
(no affiliation).
Where possible get organic.
Happy drinking!!!
Dry ingredients:
* 1 tsp maca (for energy)
* 1 Tbsp raw cacao (organic superfood)
* 1-3 Tbsp rosehips powder (original form of Vitamin C much much more powerful and effective than tablets) - I think I needed to go to an online specialty store for this item
* 1 tsp or more of lecithin granules (do research - another superfood!)
* 1 scoop whey based protein powder. We like Muscle Milk either chocolate or vanilla creme flavor. It's important to get a non-soy form that doesn't have too many calories and doesn't overload you with protein (there's a limit as to how much protein you can metabolize at once).
* 1 small handful dried goji berries (about 1 tbsp) - another superfood
Liquid ingredients:
* Water, juice or other drink to taste (we like to use organic unsweetened almond milk. Almonds are the only alkalizing nut and have all of the healthy nutritional properties of nuts while also making you more alkaline! A great substitute for milk and only 45 calories per glass!!)
* Concentrace mineral drops - slowly work up to maximum on package(this is a critical ingredient. Only by adding minerals to your diet can you absorb vitamins - otherwise they pass right through you. If you adopt nothing else from this list, get minerals asap in your diet right away!)
* Optional vitamins - I like to add liquid B vitamins (we like the Nature's Answer brand) , liquid vitamin D drops - research is showing this is just as beneficial and important as vitamin C, and a general liquid vitamin (we like Peter Gilham's Natural Vitality Organic liquid vitamins).
This tastes like the most delicious chocolate shake you've ever had (from the cacao) and puts a real "zing" in your step (I think mostly from the minerals -we are all so mineral depleted).
Happy healthy drinking!!
(Note that there is deliberately not a lot of juicing. You can add that stuff but the above should do you fine as is! I like to eat my veggies whole and in salads)
:)
Best wishes in health -

Synthetic "vitamin scam lesson" encl... unyquity

This is a reply to # 1,707,756So sorry - while it might provide an 'energy boost', this forum is dedicated to *natural* health & healing, so we don't subscribe to use of unnatural substances (as in, anything isolated away from all it's natural chemicals, phytochemicals & co-factors). There's lots more info below if you're interested.
...soy lecithin - isolated, processed, non-fermented soy -- never. Soy in ANY form? not on my watch/recommendation (although some disagree). ANY SOY THAT'S NOT ORGANIC OR CERTIFIED NON-GMO *IS* GMO.
...whey protein - likely non-organic (hence from cows fed Genetically-Modified-Organisms grains and injected with all kinds of hormones, Antibiotics and other poisons) - isolated, processed, dead. No thanks.
...Concentrace mineral drops - minerals isolated away from all their natural co-factors and enzymes (and might be rock-based). It's natural for us to get our minerals (and other nutrition) from alive, whole foods & juices. If you'd like to understand what happens in our body when we ingest isolated nutrients (without their natural co-factors & enzymes), these two chapters are fantastic:
http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/vitaminC/Ascorbic-Acid-Is-Not-Vitamin-C.php
http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/enzymes/Enzymes-The-Key-to-Longevity.shtml
...The Nature's Answer B vitamin you're apparently referring to is here: http://www.naturesanswer.com/p-1022-platinum-vitamin-b-complex-16oz.aspx,
if so
then it's not any "answer from nature" that's positive OR natural to our natural bodies :(
--Vitamin C (from Esther C) is ascorbic acid, hence synthetic
--Riboflavin - synthetic
--Thiamine (from HCL) - synthetic
--Niacinamide - partially synthetic
--Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCI) - synthetic
--Folic Acid (no source given) - synthetic
--Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamine) - synthetic
--Biotin (no source given) - synthetic
--Pantothenic Acid (as Calcium pantothenate) - synthetic
--Choline (as Choline Bitartrate)
--Inositol - ???
--Soy Protein - not organic, then it's Genetically-Modified-Organisms (argggh! full os poisons that genetically mutate our gut flora)
--PABA (para-amino benzoic acid ) - synthetic
I wouldn't put that chemical-soup in my body if someone paid me to do it!
For more information on the difference between synthetic & natural vitamins & supplements, here's a few great selections:

https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/398167/VitaminCunknown.txt
>>>and a general liquid vitamin (we like Peter Gilham's Natural Vitality Organic liquid vitamins). <<<
Wow, what a total scam to call these "natural" OR organic. There's a few milligrams of truly organic substances in this synthetic soup, but the biggest percentage of every dose comes from chemical companies.
See the image below (all pink dots are synthetics (as are likely all the aminos :( Also the agave nectar is comparable to high fructose corn syrup http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/03/30/beware-of-the-a...
>>>Happy healthy drinking!!<<<
I'm sure you mean well and that you are very sincere in your recommendation...but it's certainly anything BUT natural for our bodies (so we don't use it or recommend it on this forum). Sadly, over 95% of all "vitamin/nutrient' products (and herbal products) on the market are misrepresented and most are very unnatural to our body and ultimately cause stress and compromise (no matter how they band-aid symptoms or put 'zings in our steps' temporarily).
You're always welcome to post/ask question about truly natural foods and health/healing here anytime.
Thanks for the opportunity to teach a 'synthetic vitamin' lesson to others ('hope you knew all that before, and weren't scammed into believing all those chemicals were natural!)
Blessings,

This is a reply to # 1,707,808Actually, if you read the recipe carefully, the Vitamin C is Rosehips powder (as natural as you can get).
I specifically suggested NO SOY.
As far as whey protein powder, that can be eliminated. I for one like it.
The vitamins are listed as optional. If you eliminate the whey protein, rest is completely natural.
Please read before you comment.

Actually, if you read the recipe carefully, the Vitamin C is Rosehips powder (as natural as you can get). Of course it is - if you noticed, I didn't comment on the truly natural ingredients of 'energy drink'.
I specifically suggested NO SOY. So this >>>1 tsp or more of lecithin granules (do research - another superfood!)<<< would be "NO SOY"? Non-organic, GMO soy lecithin is what 'lectithin granules' are (unless of course, you're paying the big bucks for egg yolk lecithin (which I assume you would have mentioned). An unfermented isolate of GM soy is not "superfood" :( And "Concentrace minerals" ('dead' minerals without their natural co-factors & enzymes) are anything but "natural" (the chapters/links in my original post showed the possible harm & stress on the body of ingesting isolated minerals). So this >>>If you eliminate the whey protein, rest is completely natural. <<< isn't the case at all :(
As far as whey protein powder, that can be eliminated. I for one like it. I wasn't commenting on what you "like", only your "recipe & recommendation" (and implication this chemical concoction of yours was somehow healthy & natural and you were suggesting it for others on this forum). Your Muscle Milk - image below- is not even 'whole' dried whey powder (rather, it's a whey isolates based product), and also contains non-organic soy GMO lecithin (as well as non-organic whey isolates, which is 'by default - based on the price', GM as well, because of cows being fed GM grains - not to mention all the chemicals, antibiotics and GM-hormones they're injected with), throw in dozens of synthetic chemicals, GM canola oil and non-organic "other", and you certainly do NOT end up with "Natural" (as the name implies). In fact, unless the Stevia is 'ground leaf' (and not 'processed' to be white powder & void of it's natural co-factors), there's absolutely NO natural ingredient in the whole thing.
The vitamins are listed as optional. If you eliminate the whey protein, rest is completely natural. No, it is not natural...the ONLY ingredients that are natural are the Maca, Cacao, Rosehips & Goji berries
>>>Please read before you comment.<<< Seriously? (that's just a silly-ridiculous comment). It's quite obvious I did a lot Of reading before I commented. Because I was concerned that you were one of the millions with a true heart for 'natural health & healing' that had fallen prey to the typical "alternative market scams" (based on your chemical-isolate-shake recommendation/post), I read EVERY label of every product you mentioned, snagged pictures, edited them, uploaded them, and took over an hour composing your post (respectful and very informative -with links to information that backed up what I was sharing). My sole intent was to be informative & helpful; my apologies if anything I said was offensive. I feel it's my responsibility as owner of a Natural Healing forum to share the facts with people that don't seem to know the difference between 'natural & synthetic' (and the harm of GM frankenfoods and other isolates). Rather than just posting "go away, your post includes all kinds of synthetic crap & toxins, and we don't do that here!", I opted to offer solid information (that would provide knowledge both to you and to anyone else that might be reading).
Again, you're always welcome to post here if you have helpful information to share about natural substances, products & natural health (and/or ask questions); we're all here to help & support each other while learning, unlearning and healing...in the most positive, respectful way we can :)

This is a reply to # 1,708,231I get it you don't like muscle milk. I think the alternatives listed later in the thread here look interesting and I'm going to try them.
Your messages are always 5 times longer than the original recommendation, including a lot of drama and capital letters (the internet equivalent of "yelling.")
Let's keep quiet in the room and encourage everyone to evaluate objectively for themselves.
First of all - first principle of healing is do what feels right to you.
Secondly, here's my breakdown -
1) I do personally believe lecithin provides benefits
Here's a summary from this link...
http://www.essortment.com/lifestyle/benefitsrisksl_snjo.htm
" Lecithin is an important phospholipid needed by all living cells. Lecithin is produced within our own bodies, and can be found in the major organs: the heart, the liver, and the kidneys. Lecithin aids in maintaining our overall health and is utilized by every cell in our bodies. Though it is produced within our own bodies, we do not always consume enough of the foods that provide the nutrition needed to produce adequate amounts. Lecithin can be found in many foods such as: cabbage, cauliflower, garbanzo beans, soy beans, split peas, organic meat, seeds, nuts and eggs. Today’s average diet, however, does not provide enough lecithin to successfully protect or cells and allow lecithin to reap its benefits. Of its many benefits, lecithin has been proven to decrease cholesterol, promote cardiovascular health, restore damaged livers and improve the brain’s memory function."
Lecithin is available from organic, non-gmo sources. Just because something is derived does not make it not "natural." Castor oil is derived from the castor oil plant.
2) Concentrace minerals
Here's a product description (note this is a sales description):
"ConcenTrace is a natural mineral concentrate extracted from the waters of Utah's Inland Sea, the Great Salt Lake. It is made up of the most powerful, natural, health giving trace minerals in the world. Soluble, Liquid, Ionic. It is so concentrated that 40 drops (1/2 teaspoon) equals the mineral content of 1/2 cup sea water with 99 percent sodium removed. You may expect a wide spectrum of nutritional benefits."
If you go onto any website such as vitacost.com or amazon.com, it is always a top-rated supplement as experienced by the general public. Here's a typical review I copied from Amazon.com: "After using slightly stronger than usual per glass first thing in the morning, Concentrace put coffee or any tea to shame. Drank a 16oz glass of H2O w/a large squirt, and my brain came on like a light bulb. This is truly a necessity that most go without. Best supplement I take next to eating lots of green veggies!"
Be warned however it has a very strong taste and I think you need to mix it with something!
The reason added minerals are necessary to our diet is that much of the land that produces our food no longer supports what would have been normal mineral content due to pesticides, pollution and other factors. So unless you are lucky enough to grow your own food this is probably necessary and needed. Just my 2 cents.
3) Ditto as #2 with added vitamins. Get organic, non-gmo, etc. For me, juicing a few veggies to me just doesn't go far enough. Believe me I tried that way.
Done posting. Going away now.

This is a reply to # 1,707,756Here is some information you may find of interest. This SuperFood blend is from organic plant foods.

SUPERFOOD
100% ORGANIC AND WILD HARVESTED
Herbal VITAMIN and MINERAL Food Concentrate
This perfectly balanced blend of SUPERFOODS is specifically formulated to supply you with Natural Food Source Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids and Essential Trace Nutrients. These are Nature's Nutrients, not man made synthetic vitamins. All ingredients are from the richest, whole food sources on the planet. This zero fat formula will give you quick energy, and not slow you down, and it taste great. It should be the foundation of any health program because it is nutrients that build your body and your health.
Spimlina Blue Green Algae
Spirulina is one of the most concentrated, nutritious foods on this planet. It is the highest natural source of complete protein (75%). We use the only organically grown spirulina in the world, from Hawaii. The high amount of
sunshine there makes this spirulina higher in Beta Carotene than any other. It is also a rich source of B-Vitamins, especially B-12. Grown using water pumped from 2000 feet deep in the ocean, this spirulina is one of the richest sources of minerals also. One of the oldest types of algae, it has a soft cell wall for easy digestion and assimilation.
Chlorella
Chlorella is second only to Spirulina in nutritional content. Another of the algaes, it is an extremely concentrated source of nutrition and compliments Spirulina well. The cell wall has been cracked to make the nutrients more available and increase its digestibility.
Alfalfa, Barley and Wheat Grasses
These are the Vitamin / Mineral herbs. They are mildly cleansing and the greatest sources of nutrition of any grasses. Grain grasses are more potent than the grains themselves, offering us a rich array of vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll.
Purple Dulse Seaweed
Seaweeds are the richest source of assimilable minerals on the planet. They contain all the minerals and trace minerals that are found in the oceans and the earth's crust. We chose Purple Scandinavian Dulse because it has the highest mineral concentration but also taste bland. Many seaweeds taste fishy and are offensive to vegetarians
Beet Root and Spinach Leaf
Beets and Spinach are some of the richest, most assimilable sources of organic iron. Beets, being a root vegetable and growing underground, change inorganic raw elements into plant minerals, that are useable by us. Spinach is a rich source of calcium, iron and vitamin K. Both of these plants are famous for their blood building ability.
Rose Hips. Orange and Lemon peels
Revered as some of the best sources of vitamin C these fruits are also a balanced C-complex source. They contain bioflavonoids, rutin, hesperidin, calcium and all of the trace elements that are now known to be necessary to assimilate vitamin C. The citrus peels are also one of the highest sources of pectin which has been proven to remove heavy metals ( mercury, lead, etc. ) from the body, even remove radioactive contamination like strontium 90.
NON-Active S a c c h a r o m y c e s c e r e v i s i a e Nutritional Yeast
This yeast is grown on beets and pure molasses. It is the second highest source of complete protein in nature, (50%), and the richest source of B Vitamins. It is also a rich source of Iron and many other minerals. The yeast we choose is heated high enough to absolutely destroy any yeast activity, but not high enough to lessen the B Vitamin content. It is totally NON active and safe for patients with Candida albicans or on yeast free diets.
2 level Tablespoons of the SuperFood, added to your favorite juice or blender drink, gives you 2 to 5 times the vitamins you need for the entire day. What's even better is that you can assimilate these foods so easily, the nutrients can enter your bloodstream going to work within 15 minutes.

SuperFood Recipe: //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1389300#i
Take all the eleven herbal/food ingredients, put them on the table, and measure out 'one part' of each of them - let's say 1/4 cup of each (but you can use whatever measurement you want at this point)...just be sure to use the same measurement for each ingredient. Mix that thoroughly. Then you'll have a big bowl/bucket of every ingredient mixed together...except the yeast. That'll make 2.75 cups of that mix (if you use 1/4 cup as your part).
Now, add 2.75 cups of nutritional yeast - blend thoroughly, and WALLAH - Superfood Original!
For our 'Special Blend' (for non-vegans & non juice-fasters), we use only one bowl (actually a 10 gallon stainless pasta pot), and mix one 'part' of each of the herbal/food goodies and add two 'parts' of the yeast...which is much less yeast & much more herbal goodies, than mixing all the herbal goodies together and then adding equal parts of that mix, with equal parts yeast.
