fasting day one

Well the first day went well i snapped the rubber band 12 times and my son snapped it for me 5. I tried to explain its for negative thoughts or things I say Not for what you don't want to hear lolo. My son did great to and he's the greatest kid for doing it with me. Believe it or not I could have caved in once today but he pulled me out and said no. You see i went to the gym. They have Tv's on the machines and every 15 min. was three ads for food I had to unplug it HAHA. I got a birthday present and my act of kindness is I started making a bag for someone today. I'll get better at the acts of kindness. I had many things to do to day and was trying to get this thing rolling. I felt a little foggy at the end here and my energy dipped a little but that's normal the first few days. I may not have noticed if I'd been working and very bizzzy. But all in all I feel fine. We drank a lot of water and juice. and now it's detox tea and a movie. Well we have a movie to watch. Oh tip of the day when driving don't read all the food signs. It doesn't help although I didn't get hungry that made me think of food.

health, healthy, health here We Go.

I have a few things to say today. First if my fasting buddies are reading this and I'm sure you are. One thing I heard from one of you. I just keep telling my self I'm doing I just cant be fat any more. Wow honey this is not where your mind needs to be. Some how people believe there this head,( your mind) just setting on top of this vehicle,( your body) and just ridding around. Opps sorry wrong. Your mind, your thoughts, your head ist attached to it all. Fasting is a time of rest for your body. I know we have to work but the inside needs to rest. And if you do a thirty day fast I would love if you could take at least a week off some where in the middle of it. But that ok if you cant. Well its not ok it's life. The body goes into re pare mode on the third day. This is when we need to work on our into voice. You know the one that smart ass one that has all the side way comments you can't or shouldn't say out loud. Or the one that is trying to kill you. I cant quit smoking, I can run that far, I don't like going there. Giving up meat is going to kill me it's to hard.I'm going to tell the kids their chores but they wont do it. Every time I drive there I get every red light.I'm getting old. She's prettier then me. I wish I looked like that.I hate getting up early. I wish I didn't have to go to work. Lord knows there 1000 in there you listen to him all day. Well you can't turn him off but you can turn him around. Try the rubber band it your wrest. Snap it lightly when you do it. Lightly youll have 1000 and I dont want you to hurt your self.When I go there if I get a Red light I'll say a pray for someone random for every light. Wow isn't it cool how there are so many of us pretty people. Pretty in their own special way, then look at everyone that day and say in your head what makes them pretty. He has the prettiest smile. She has the greatest taste in shoes what ever. Look how much money I'll save not buying meat and my body is loving this break it takes a week or more for it to digest one helping of that heavy setting in my stomach crape. Its time to do your every day, one act of kindness and that, as Grandmother used to say needs to be kept to your self or it doesn't count. She said you can't claim the glory or it doesn't count.Take time, 15 min. a day, in a quite room or out side and just set there think of nothing this one will take days weeks even the 30 day to learn. Think and imagine your body repairing its self, turning back the clock, dumping all the toxic stuff we have encountered up until this point. I write this and you read but you need to do. It may seem silly that that inter dude.That guy is killing you, now do it. Oh yeh maybe a small list of kind things would be helpful. Now my son and I start today and I will report to you on how it goes. This time and this time alone I will list my acts of kindness and how many times I snap my rubber band. I hate listing my acts of kindness but I feel some need to understand. I wont list what I thought when I snapped the band because we all need to keep that man to our self and I think it would be counter productive for me to relive or remember it again, remember we are changing him.
Now when I say Juicing I mean Juicing not a blender. Drank 8 or more once as fast as you can live ya know then keep it cold and drank all day when I say all day I mean Duck Tape the bottle to you chest if you like drank, drank. Try to stay away from to much apple and carrot sweet if you can for at least the first two weeks. And remember you'll get better at this. Know one starts as the tennis pro when they pick up the ball.
This is why is said in an earlier blog post we should have a club and we could make this fun because it is. But we could get together and juice for each other at someones house. Play cards watch a movie share recipes or what ever girl talk or girl guy talk what have. oooow Yoga together. Meditation. Long walks quietly in the wood or at the lake oooow that's it. New thinks together not parties and excitement relax and reflective, peaceful with company. oooh sweet lets do it. I'm waiting for your calls if you don't call I'll get ya. Please do this for your self for the right reasons. Loosing weight if you need to is just a side affect that will happen as your body and mind repairs it's self it will start putting back together as god design you to be,,, before the world toxin crap came to be suck a burden on your body. He design you perfectly. It doesn't need your help to beat the heart or pump the blood or lose the pain or fix the allergies or pimples or hormones and more serious illnesses. All you need to do is get all the man made poisons , toxins and crap out so it can do what it can do all by it's self. Remember I love you.

Vitamin D : Attention

Fifteen facts you probably never knew about vitamin D and sunlight exposure.
(Compiled by Mike Adams, based on an interview with Dr. Michael Holick, author, The UV Advantage) Vitamin D prevents osteoporosis, depression, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and even effects diabetes and obesity. Vitamin D is perhaps the single most underrated nutrient in the world of nutrition. That's probably because it's free: your body makes it when sunlight touches your skin. Drug companies can't sell you sunlight, so there's no promotion of its health benefits. Truth is, most people don't know the real story on vitamin D and health. So here's an overview taken from an interview between Mike Adams and Dr. Michael Holick.

1. Vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight.
2. The healing rays of natural sunlight (that generate vitamin D in your skin) cannot penetrate glass. So you don't generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.
3. It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in your own body.
4. A person would have to drink ten tall glasses of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet.
5. The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK and most U.S. states are far from the equator.
6. People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 - 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D. That's why prostate cancer is epidemic among black men -- it's a simple, but widespread, sunlight deficiency.
7. Sufficient levels of vitamin D are crucial for calcium absorption in your intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements useless.
8. Chronic vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed overnight: it takes months of vitamin D supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and nervous system.
9. Even weak sunscreens (SPF=8) block your body's ability to generate vitamin D by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause disease -- by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body.
10. It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D in your body from sunlight exposure: your body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs.
11. If it hurts to press firmly on your sternum, you may be suffering from chronic vitamin D deficiency right now.
12. Vitamin D is "activated" in your body by your kidneys and liver before it can be used.
13. Having kidney disease or liver damage can greatly impair your body's ability to activate circulating vitamin D.
14. The sunscreen industry doesn't want you to know that your body actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen products.
15. Even though vitamin D is one of the most powerful healing chemicals in your body, your body makes it absolutely free. No prescription required.

On the issue of sunlight exposure, by the way, it turns out that super antioxidants greatly boost your body's ability to handle sunlight without burning. Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful "internal sunscreens" and can allow you to stay under the sun twice as long without burning. Other powerful antioxidants with this ability include the superfruits like Acai, Pomegranates (POM Wonderful juice), blueberries, etc.

Diseases and conditions cause by vitamin D deficiency:

• Osteoporosis is commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D, which greatly impairs calcium absorption.
• Sufficient vitamin D prevents prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, depression, colon cancer and schizophrenia.
• "Rickets" is the name of a bone-wasting disease caused by vitamin D deficiency.
• Vitamin D deficiency may exacerbate type 2 diabetes and impair insulin production in the pancreas.
• Obesity impairs vitamin D utilization in the body, meaning obese people need twice as much vitamin D.
• Vitamin D is used around the world to treat Psoriasis.
• Vitamin D deficiency causes schizophrenia.
• Seasonal Affective Disorder is caused by a melatonin imbalance initiated by lack of exposure to sunlight.
• Chronic vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia because its symptoms are so similar: muscle weakness, aches and pains.
• Your risk of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer is reduced 50% - 80% through simple, sensible exposure to natural sunlight 2-3 times each week.
• Infants who receive vitamin D supplementation (2000 units daily) have an 80% reduced risk of developing type 1 diabetes over the next twenty years.

Shocking Vitamin D deficiency statistics:

• 32% of doctors and med school students are vitamin D deficient.
• 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient.
• 42% of African American women of childbearing age are deficient in vitamin D.
• 48% of young girls (9-11 years old) are vitamin D deficient.
• Up to 60% of all hospital patients are vitamin D deficient.
• 76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D deficient, causing widespread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type 1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of the children born to these mothers were deficient.
• Up to 80% of nursing home patients are vitamin D deficient.

What you can do:

Sensible exposure to natural sunlight is the simplest, easiest and yet one of the most important strategies for improving your health. I urge you to read the book, "The UV Advantage" by Dr. Michael Holick to get the full story on natural sunlight. You can find this book at most local bookstores or through BN.com, Amazon.com, etc. Note: This is not a paid endorsement or an affiliate link. I recommend it because of its great importance in preventing chronic disease and enhancing health without drugs or surgery. This may be the single most important book on health you ever read. If more people understood this information, we could drastically reduce the rates of chronic disease in this country and around the world. Sunlight exposure is truly one of the most powerful healing therapies in the world, far surpassing the best efforts of today's so-called "advanced medicine." There is no drug, no surgical procedure, and no high-tech procedure that comes even close to the astonishing healing power of natural sunlight.

Vit. B-12

NaturalNews) One of the pitfalls of pursuing a healthy diet is that we are sometimes blind to nutrients we may be missing. And in the world of healthy eating, one of the most common nutrient deficiencies involves vitamin B-12, a crucial nutrient for nerve health and the construction of red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout your body.


Vitamin B-12 deficiency is especially common among vegetarians and vegans, but it's also surprisingly common in meat eaters, too. Why? Because vitamin B-12 can only be absorbed in the small intestine, and due to common intestinal ailments, even many meat eaters who consume high levels of B-12 are unable to absorb it in their gut.


This leads to a series of seemingly "mystery" health symptoms that actually have a simple common cause: Vitamin B-12 deficiency!

Symptoms of B-12 deficiency

B-12 deficiency is shockingly widespread. Studies now show that up to 40% of the population may be deficient in vitamin B-12 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7...).


Here are some of the most common symptoms of deficiency (do you experience any of these?):


* Chest pain or shortness of breath
* Fatigue or unexplained weakness
* Dizziness, trouble with balance, and fainting
* Confusion, memory loss or dementia
* Coldness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
* Slow reflexes or diminished nervous system function
* Pale skin or yellowing of the skin
* Sore mouth and tongue


... in addition, vitamin B-12 deficiency can actually cause brain shrinkage, according to a University of Oxford study (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7...). Although more work needs to be done, research is already suggesting a link between vitamin B-12 deficiency and Alzheimer's.


If you (or someone you know) shows any of the symptoms listed above, I urge you to immediately investigate vitamin B-12 and determine if a deficiency in this nutrient may be causing your symptoms!


Again, vitamin B-12 deficiency is especially common in vegans and vegetarians because typical vitamin B-12 sources (meats, yogurt, etc.) are simply not present in their diets. But even meat eaters can be deficient in B-12 due to poor digestion. This is especially true for older people who suffer a diminished ability to absorb nutrients in their small intestine.


In addition, diabetes medications and even pain pills can interfere with B-12 absorption, and intestinal parasites can also strongly block its absorption in the gut.

Solutions for vitamin B-12

Traditionally, people who are deficient in vitamin B-12 have received injections of B-12. This is extremely effective because it bypasses the digestive tract and goes right into the bloodstream. But it has one obvious downside: It requires being injected! So most people aren't interested in this method.


Instead, most people supplement their vitamin B-12 using nutritional supplements. But here's where this can go wrong: The most commonly available form of vitamin B-12 on the market is the cheap synthetic form that's actually bound to a cyanide molecule (yes, cyanide, the poison). It's called cyanocobalamin, and you'll find it in all the cheap vitamins made by pharmaceutical companies and sold at grocery stores and big box stores.


Action item: If you have any vitamin B-12 supplements, check the ingredients label right now to see what form of vitamin B-12 they contain. If they contain cyanocobalamin, throw them out!


Cyanocobalamin is a cheap, synthetic chemical made in a laboratory. It's virtually impossible for you to find this form in nature. Low-end vitamin manufacturers use it because it can be bought in bulk and added to products with claims that they "contain vitamin B-12!" What they don't tell you is that the vitamin is bound to a toxic, poisonous cyanide molecule that must then be removed from your body by your liver. Cyanocobalamin is also up to 100 times cheaper than the higher quality methylcobalamin which we'll talk about below.


As Wikipedia explains: "A common synthetic form of the vitamin, cyanocobalamin, does not occur in nature, but is used in many pharmaceuticals and supplements, and as a food additive, because of its lower cost. In the body it is converted to the physiological forms, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, leaving behind the cyanide..." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitami...)


Removing the cyanide molecule from the vitamin and then flushing it out of your body requires using up so-called "methyl groups" of molecules in your body that are needed to fight things like homocysteine (high levels cause heart disease). By taking low-quality cyanobalamin, you're actually stealing methyl groups from your body and making it do more work at the biochemical level. This uses up substances such as glutathione that are often in short supply anyway, potentially worsening your overall health situation rather than helping it. This is one of the reasons why low-grade vitamins may actually be worse for your body than taking nothing at all!


Cyanocobalamin, in summary, is a low-grade, low-quality and slightly toxic (cyanide) form of vitamin B-12 that's used by all the cheap vitamin manufacturers. I recommend avoiding it completely. It won't kill you to take it, of course, but there's a better solution for B-12.

The better choice: Methylcobalamin

The proper form of vitamin B-12 to supplement is called methylcobalamin. This is the form that exists in nature, and it is pre-methylated, meaning it's ready for your biochemistry to put to immediate use. Methylcobalamin has several key advantages over cyanocobalamin:


* Increased absorption
* Better retention in tissues
* Contains no toxic cyanide
* Supports production of SAMe


As explained by Ed Sharpe:


"The coenzyme form of vitamin B12 is known as methylcobalamin or methyl B12. It's the only form of vitamin B12 which can directly participate in homocysteine metabolism. In addition, converting homocysteine to methionine via methyl B12 generates an increased supply of SAMe (S-adenosyl methionine), the body's most important methyl donor." (http://www.health101.org/art_methyl...)


Every informed nutritionist knows that methylcobalamin is far superior to cyanocobalamin. That's why companies like Ola Loa (www.DrinkYourVitamins.com) use only the high-end "methyl" form of B-12.

Why 99% of vitamin B-12 supplements are wasted

Taking vitamin B-12 as an oral dose is largely a waste of money. As much as 99% of what you swallow is not even absorbed... it's just passed through your body. (http://www.health101.org/art_methyl...)


There are really only three methods for absorbing vitamin B-12 that reliably work:


#1) B-12 injections.
#2) Sublingual absorption.
#3) Skin absorption.


B-12 injections obviously require injections from a trained medical professional, so few people pursue this route. Sublingual absorption is a viable route, but nearly all the sublingual B-12 products use the cyanocobalamin form of the vitamin (with the cyanide molecule).


A vitamin B-12 skin patch is now available that delivers methylcobalamin through the skin, using a small medical-grade patch placed behind the ear. Each patch delivers 1000 mcg of methylcobalamin (1,666% DV) in a steady release over a 1-2 day period, after which the patch may be removed and discarded.


In addition to methylcobalamin, each path also delivers 400mcg of Folic Acid (another form of a B vitamin), which is widely known to work synergistically with methylcobalamin to help support healthy heart function and nervous system function*.

B-12 energy patch works through skin absorption

The B-12 Energy Patch is available now in packs of 8 patches (a 1-2 month supply) from the NaturalNews Store. This 8-pack carries a list price of $39.95, but through our volume purchasing, we are able to offer it to NaturalNews readers at 53% off the list price.


When purchased in a 3-pack (total of 24 patches), the price is lowered even more to 57% off the list price.

What customers say about this B-12 patch

(From Amazon.com) For me a much better alternative to effective sublingual pills


"B12 is running low in my family tree. A couple of relatives have been regular at getting B12 shots. I never felt like I needed the shots, because I thought I could get by with red meat, liver and sublingual pills. I decided to try the patches just to see... I did not expect them to be more effective than sublingual pills.

I must say I was wrong. From the first patch I noticed the boost, which is at first more subtle than the more noticeable boost of the sublingual pills giving you more B12 in a shorter time span. But it picks up over time and feels way more efficient. By way of example, I used the big plate in my road bike and did not pant at the top of three bad climbs hours after getting the patch. To get this kind of effect with sublingual pills after getting low of B12 would take over ten days for me and quite a bit of dedication remembering to keep supplementing. It can get rather tedious waiting for the pills to dissolve under the tongue.

The second day I used two patches right behind the ear, but they both fell off, presumably from the sweat biking. Yet the day before the one patch I tried less close to the ear stayed put biking and after two showers, and I had no dropped patches since. If you exercise, watch out for areas where sweat would accumulate.

I think there is no comparison between this brand and the other one advertised. For four bucks more, you get half the patches and the wrong type of B12 -- cyanocobalamin instead of methylcobalamin. Read about it because cyanocobalamin has to be turned into methylcobalamin by the liver. You can spare that. My doctor put me on cyanocobalamin initially and I turned to methylcobalamin with much greater results. Also, this brand I review has the daily allowance of folic acid as an added bonus (read up on the benefits of taking folic acid with B12), rather than selenium.

I've had no side effects and no skin reactions with this product. I am so satisfied I have ordered a B-complex as a patch from a different company. It is advised to have a B-complex if you supplement in big doses with any vitamin of the B family."

They're on sale now at an incredible price through the NaturalNews Store.


Whatever form of vitamin B-12 you use, remember this: avoid cyanocobalamin! (Unless you enjoy eating cyanide, that is...)

Virtual Assistant or Coach: FOR HIRE

health, healthy, health here We Go.

I have a few things to say today. First if my fasting buddies are reading this and I'm sure you are. One thing I heard from one of you. I just keep telling my self I'm doing I just cant be fat any more. Wow honey this is not where your mind needs to be. Some how people believe there this head,( your mind) just setting on top of this vehicle,( your body) and just ridding around. Opps sorry wrong. Your mind, your thoughts, your head ist attached to it all. Fasting is a time of rest for your body. I know we have to work but the inside needs to rest. And if you do a thirty day fast I would love if you could take at least a week off some where in the middle of it. But that ok if you cant. Well its not ok it's life. The body goes into re pare mode on the third day. This is when we need to work on our into voice. You know the one that smart ass one that has all the side way comments you can't or shouldn't say out loud. Or the one that is trying to kill you. I cant quit smoking, I can run that far, I don't like going there. Giving up meat is going to kill me it's to hard.I'm going to tell the kids their chores but they wont do it. Every time I drive there I get every red light.I'm getting old. She's prettier then me. I wish I looked like that.I hate getting up early. I wish I didn't have to go to work. Lord knows there 1000 in there you listen to him all day. Well you can't turn him off but you can turn him around. Try the rubber band it your wrest. Snap it lightly when you do it. Lightly youll have 1000 and I dont want you to hurt your self.When I go there if I get a Red light I'll say a pray for someone random for every light. Wow isn't it cool how there are so many of us pretty people. Pretty in their own special way, then look at everyone that day and say in your head what makes them pretty. He has the prettiest smile. She has the greatest taste in shoes what ever. Look how much money I'll save not buying meat and my body is loving this break it takes a week or more for it to digest one helping of that heavy setting in my stomach crape. Its time to do your every day, one act of kindness and that, as Grandmother used to say needs to be kept to your self or it doesn't count. She said you can't claim the glory or it doesn't count.Take time, 15 min. a day, in a quite room or out side and just set there think of nothing this one will take days weeks even the 30 day to learn. Think and imagine your body repairing its self, turning back the clock, dumping all the toxic stuff we have encountered up until this point. I write this and you read but you need to do. It may seem silly that that inter dude.That guy is killing you, now do it. Oh yeh maybe a small list of kind things would be helpful. Now my son and I start today and I will report to you on how it goes. This time and this time alone I will list my acts of kindness and how many times I snap my rubber band. I hate listing my acts of kindness but I feel some need to understand. I wont list what I thought when I snapped the band because we all need to keep that man to our self and I think it would be counter productive for me to relive or remember it again, remember we are changing him.
Now when I say Juicing I mean Juicing not a blender. Drank 8 or more once as fast as you can live ya know then keep it cold and drank all day when I say all day I mean Duck Tape the bottle to you chest if you like drank, drank. Try to stay away from to much apple and carrot sweet if you can for at least the first two weeks. And remember you'll get better at this. Know one starts as the tennis pro when they pick up the ball.
This is why is said in an earlier blog post we should have a club and we could make this fun because it is. But we could get together and juice for each other at someones house. Play cards watch a movie share recipes or what ever girl talk or girl guy talk what have. oooow Yoga together. Meditation. Long walks quietly in the wood or at the lake oooow that's it. New thinks together not parties and excitement relax and reflective, peaceful with company. oooh sweet lets do it. I'm waiting for your calls if you don't call I'll get ya. Please do this for your self for the right reasons. Loosing weight if you need to is just a side affect that will happen as your body and mind repairs it's self it will start putting back together as god design you to be,,, before the world toxin crap came to be suck a burden on your body. He design you perfectly. It doesn't need your help to beat the heart or pump the blood or lose the pain or fix the allergies or pimples or hormones and more serious illnesses. All you need to do is get all the man made poisons , toxins and crap out so it can do what it can do all by it's self. Remember I love you.
