Real (Healthy) Mayonnaise

Real mayonnaise is a French invention made with virgin olive oil whipped with raw egg. The white goop sold in grocery stores, made with soybean oil and chemicals is not real mayonnaise, despite how familiar we are with it as a binder for canned tuna fish.

Gall bladders do not deal well with the commercial white goop, as it is hard for the gall bladder to break down and the body has absolutely no need for soybean oil.

So, here is a healthy alternative that you can try at home, courtesy of Healing Gourmentwww.healinggourmet.com

You can try this recipe with olive oil to make the traditional French variety or experiment with other unrefined oils for gourmet flavors.

Let me know the results.

For a low-fat alternative for your tuna fish sandwich, use plain organic Greek yogurt. Yogurt also works for curried chicken and egg salad.

I am all about good food, which feeds the body and the soul. Processed, chemical junk food pleases only the tongue, and only for a moment.

As Gsa Gsa Gabor said, “A moment on your lips, forever on your hips.” Cheap processed foods also store in the cells, blocking natural processes and inhibiting cellular function. That is the breeding ground for disease states.

So, become a natural gourmet and enjoy a real food revolution at your house.

Shed Those Holiday Pounds With Garcinia Cambogia

Many Americans never lose the weight they gain at the Holidays. That means they have even more in common with Santa Claus after a few years! But it does not have to be that way, because there is some natural help for weight loss.
Dr. Oz has been talking about Garcinia Cambogia for months, but as a herbalist I knew about this extract from the tamarind fruit long ago.  There are some good studies about Garcinia’s ability to block the enzyme that converts carbs to fat. Garcinia also seems to help with appetite control and boost mood, so may help stress or emotional eating. Pretty good for an extract that has no known side-effects and is a very reasonable cost. The weight loss studies showed Garcinia to be effective when a 1200 calorie a day diet was followed and moderate exercise should be included.

We have an excellent Garcinia Cambogia in stock, with added chromium for blood sugar balance, plus potassium and calcium.

Homeopathic HCG has helped many people lose weight. I have access to a lab that makes it and we also have HCG in stock. If you want a fast weight loss program to shed a few pounds quickly, HCG is great. I don’t recommend it long term because you have to avoid fat while on the diet. But it is a great boost.

This might be the right time for a detoxification program. We have a 10 day blood sugar balance/detox and a 21 day Purification and Detox program. Both include organic super-nutritious shakes.  The shake is called SP Complete. I call it Lazarus powder because I have seen it almost bring the dead back to life. I had a patient with Crohn’s disease (auto-immune intestinal disease) Most of her large intestine had been removed. She could only eat Cup of Noodle soup because every food bothered her.  She landed in the hospital with a diagnosis of pre-cancer. All I could get her to do was start taking the SP Complete every day. Within a few months she was eating real food like chicken and salad again, and running a few miles a day. One day she came in with her hair down, full and wavy like a fashion model. I thought she was wearing a wig because I had only seen her with a wispy ponytail for years. When I complimented her on her hair, she said, “Isn’t it amazing how it grew back? It was always like this before I got sick.” That is a one powerful shake!

The program also includes herbal medicine to stimulate detox in the organs like liver, kidney and intestine, and help the pancreas to rest and recover so that it can make more insulin.

There is a weight loss program that will help you not only to look and feel better about yourself, but handle bloat and digestive issues, while also lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. Call the office today at 818-562-1400 to order or book a consultation

The Secret to Weight Loss and Disease Prevention That You Can Start Today

You don’t have to forego holiday delights to start your weight loss and improve your health. You can start today, just by including some exercise into your holiday plans.
Add a long Christmas walk to work up your appetite or, after dinner, walk off an over-serving of turkey and potatoes. The whole family can enjoy the outing and it may become a tradition.

The new studies on exercise show that moving your body is better than drugs for many chronic conditions and diseases from depression to diabetes. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/10515917/Exercise-just-as-good-as-drugs-in-war-on-major-disease.html

This information could save your life. We cannot sustain the kind of “health“care that we have in this country. Chemical drugs will never be the answer to staying healthy, although they are sometimes necessary on a short term basis. But our detoxification organs-liver, kidneys and intestines, do not fare well with any medication, so the less drugs the better-always.

Health issues have skyrocketed between the rise of junk and processed foods and the sedentary lifestyle we lead, sitting at computers all day and driving our cars everywhere. Add in thousands of environmental chemicals and toxins that we are exposed to (including pharmaceutical and recreational drugs and alcohol) and it is little wonder we rank 17th in world health, according to the latest study.
“The results surprised even the researchers. To their alarm, they said, they found a “strikingly consistent and pervasive” pattern of poorer health at all stages of life, from infancy to childhood to adolescence to young adulthood to middle and old age. Compared to people in other developed nations, Americans die far more often from injuries and homicides. We suffer more deaths from alcohol and other drugs, and endure some of the worst rates of heart disease, lung disease, obesity, and diabetes.” http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/01/new-health-rankings-of-17-nations-us-is-dead-last/267045/

This should be a wake-up call. We spend 2 1/2 times more on health care than any other country. There is something very wrong with this picture. Our health care is far more expensive than any other country per procedure. Yet it appears we are not getting much result. Even the wealthiest Americans have worse health and higher mortality than other countries.

We are the most sedentary people of any on earth, so that is one place to start.

Shop post-Christmas sales for some home equipment like a bike or treadmill or consider a rebounder. Check http://rebound-air.com/ for a folding rebounder or http://www.amazon.com/Needak-Rebounder-Soft-Bounce-Black/dp/B000J4VTL6 for a rebounder that is the softest made and easy on joints.

So, my Christmas wish for you is to be the exception. Take charge of your health and move your body. Get your blood flowing and increase your pulse rate. Start as slowly as you must, but do it every day. Our bodies are not sitting machines-they are dancing, running, skipping, walking and jumping machines.

A very active and Merry Christmas to all.
