Vegetarian and vegan diets are appropriate, says ADA!

Thanks, ADA! I’ve Known It All Along!

I already knew that a vegan diet is healthful and nutritionally adequate and can help prevent and treat certain diseases, but it’s a big coup when the American Dietetic Association (ADA) says so too!

Now, the ADA has long said that vegetarian and vegan diets are appropriate for every stage of the life-cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence—and for athletes—but just recently, the ADA updated its position paper in support of vegetarianism. Among other things, the paper explains that healthy, plant-based diets can prevent—and even reverse—many life-threatening diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

The ADA also points out that well-planned (not just Oreos, pop tarts, and French fries, obviously) vegetarian diets can meet the recommendations for protein, n-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium, and vitamins D and B12, as well as other essential nutrients. (If you want some basic healthy-eating tips, check out my blog, A Vegan’s Guide to Good Nutrition.)

Best yet, the ADA predicts that the number of vegetarians in the U.S. will increase over the next decade. Yay! If you’re one of the people who haven’t gone vegetarian yet, what are you waiting for? Seriously—you don’t have any excuses! Our “Vegetarian Starter Kit” will help get you started in the right direction.

Dr. God & The Goods of the Earth

It’s been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, then made dry land, planted a garden of herbs, vegetables, fruits and flowers, made fish and animals… all before making a human. God made and provided what we would need before we were born and through Mother Earth continues to make sure we receive the goods we need for a healthy life. These gifts are best and more powerful when eaten raw… but we’re such slow learners.
God left us great clues to know what foods help what part of our body, let’s find these clues and live the Good Life.

Welcome to God’s Pharmacy!

CARROTS


A sliced Carrot resembles the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

TOMATOES


A Tomato has four chambers and is of the color red, much like the heart which also has four chambers and is red. Research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

GRAPES


Grapes hang in a cluster taking the shape of the heart, and each individual grape looks like a blood cell. Research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

WALNUTS


A Walnut looks like a brain, the left and right hemispheres, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

KIDNEY BEANS


Kidney Beans look exactly like the human kidneys and, yes, they literally heal and help maintain kidney function.

CELERY, BOK CHOY, RHUBARD, ETC.


The many more that look just like bones are in fact beneficial to the bone structure. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

AVOCADO


Avocado, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female body, they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

FIGS


Figs are full of seeds and hang in 2s when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

SWEET POTATOS


Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

OLIVES


Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

CITRUS FRUITS: ORANGES, GRAPEFRUITS, ETC.


Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

ONIONS


Onions look like the cells in the body. Research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Molasses Cures

Thanks to the wonderful feedback we have received over the past eight years, blackstrap molasses appears to be making headlines as one of the best home remedies around! We have emails from our readers about blackstrap molasses curing cancerous tumors, fibroid tumors, anxiety, constipation, edema, heart palpitations, anemia, arthritic pain, joint pain, and acne, just to name a few. It has also been reported that molasses turns gray hair back to its original color and is a wonderful skin softener!

TRADITIONAL RECIPE:
1 Tablespoon of Blackstrap Molasses, first thing in the morning.

EARTH CLINIC’S ICED MOLASSES RECIPE:
1 TBLS Blackstrap Molasses
Hot Water
3/4 cup Milk or Soymilk
Ice

Add molasses to a glass and add just enough hot water to cover the molasses. Stir until dissolved. Add ice and then top off with either Milk or Soymilk. Avoiding milk?’Try vanilla or chocolate soymilk. Even yummier is to blend the whole concoction.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOLASSES AND BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES?
Regular ole molasses is the first or second boiling of cane sugar syrup while blackstrap is the third boiling of the syrup. Iron levels appear to increase 5% in the 3rd boiling (see Nutritional Chart).
