Salad:  5-6 cups broccoli pieces (bite size) 1-2 carrots shredded 1 medium sweet onion diced  Creamy Dressing:   4" daikon radish 1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked and drained 3 cloves garlic 2-3 T. fresh lemon juice 1 wedge of onion 1/2 heaping t. sea salt black pepper (optional) water as needed For the core of the salad, cut up the broccoli and onion and shred the carrots and dump in a large salad bowl. For the dressing in a high-speed blender add all the dressing ingredients and whizz them to the desired consistency to pour over and mix into the salad. For those being particular with root veggies because of candida reacting to high amounts of starchy root veggies, replacing the shredded carrots with dried tomato flecks and chopped up yellow pepper or other substitutes will work to reduce the "sugar" intake. With raw food recipes, options are nearly endless! garnished with home-sun-dried tomatoes

I've benefitted a lot from juicing, but have to say it takes tons of time. Because of my ultra-tiny apartment I don't grow wheat or barley grass to juice, but instead juice cucumbers and juice leafy vegies. I have to say, I really have energy on the days I drink my power juicy vegie-drinks. And other greens -- very useful info!

(serves 3)  1/2 cup gluten-free steel-cut oats 2 cups water (more as needed) 1/3 t. sea salt 1 Granny Smith apple, diced (added after the oats have nearly cooked)  Dried fruit compote sauce: (dried fruit not for people with raging candida) 4-5 dried apricot halves/slices handful of raisins and/or dates almonds walnuts 1 cup of water (or as needed) dusting of cinnamon dash of cloves  Not all oats are gluten-free and the steel-cut oats have less dust and are easier on the GI track. (The dust I think from the typically Quaker oats bother me - specially the dust or something like that seems to tickle my chest in the lung area. I specified the Granny Smith too as it is the lowest-glycemic apple I know about, and for people with systemic candida, the less "sugar" - natural or otherwise - the better.  Dried fruit is concentrated sugar. People with candida must avoid this. If people with candida eat fruit, let it be fresh fruit that is filled with living enzymes and is not c...

Do You Have an Under-Active Thyroid? By Donna Gates, Body Ecology What Role Does The Thyroid Play? The thyroid gland is a small butterfly shaped gland that sits just below the thyroid cartilage. The hormones secreted by the thyroid help to regulate heart rate, maintain healthy skin, and play a crucial part in regulating your metabolism. The thyroid also works to: Lift your energy Regulate your core temperature and warm your body Activate your immune system It can also tell the body to slow down. Sometimes the thyroid slows down so much that it becomes underactive. This is what is known as hypothyroidism. When this happens, the thyroid gland does not do its job, and the whole body suffers as a result. As common as hypothyroidism is, the detection and treatment of it are getting a second look by doctors. What Symptoms Does An Underactive Thyroid Produce? When the gland is sluggish (hypothyroidism), your body will give you some fairly obvious signs. Some commo...

image source Dan and Sheila Gendron, Contributors Activist Post (This article has generated a lot of attention, testimony to this is the times it has been cut and pasted, as in this blog too!) ___________________________ First of all, let me say here that we are not offering medical advice. The information here is simply our opinion, based on our own research and experience. If you are wondering how it has been so easy for TPTB to have turned the overwhelming majority of American population into sheep who believe everything they are told and comply with outrageous demands and actions, it is partly because they have for decades been replacing our good, healthy, natural foods with foods laced with poisons. Why would anyone take pleasure in adulterating the food supply? Try this theory – if TPTB can make the masses believe that the cheap crap they get fed (butter substitutes from hydrogenated oils, sugar substitutes, flavor substitutes, etc.) is actually good f...

I find this article particularly interesting as it points to the fact that the medical world tends to isolate the autoimmune diseases when, however, they really should be considered together as they all are the result of rewritten DNA which causes the body to attack its own tissue. Also, autoimmune diseases all stem from deficiencies and/or bacteria, and of course the bacteria runs wild because of the deficiencies ... causing a giant chain reaction to ensue, therefore, the importance of having a "protocol" to treat the deficiencies AND the bacteria to reduce or eliminate the attack. A very insightful article, but I do want to point out that I do not endorse the supplements listed here. My take on supplements, unless they are in their most natural whole and living form, which 97% of the supplements aren't but are chemical creations by pharmaceutical companies, is that they add to the chemical load in the blood, which the liver has to clean, causing further stres...

8 Top Vegan Sources of Protein (article reduced from vegetarian to vegan) One of the most common myths about the vegetarian diet is that after ditching meat it becomes nearly impossible to meet the suggested guidelines for protein intake. The USDA recommends that women get about 46 grams of protein a day and men get about 56. Some people, like athletes and pregnant or breastfeeding women, may need more, according to WebMD. But, thanks in part to initiatives like Meatless Monday, this year, Americans are expected to eat 12 percent less meat and poultry than five years ago, USA Today reported. While protein is essential to growth, building muscle, the immune system and heart and respiratory functions, MSNBC explains, meat-free protein has the benefit of generally being lower in calories and fat than the animal variety. Whether you're a vegetarian or not, there are lots of tasty meat-free sources of protein that also pack additional health benefits. Here is more ...
