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

Good Health Starts In Your Mind

Audrey Hepburn wore flat shoes and low heels because she loved to walk and did not want her shoes to inhibit her, according to her son. She both defined fashion and defied trends. Here is a quote from an actress who used her star power to help children as a UNICEF Ambassador.
“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

You can see that Audrey Hepburn’s attitude about life may be the reason she survived the Nazi occupation of Holland, when she almost starved to death before the British soldiers liberated the Dutch, and went on to become a great Hollywood star, untouched by scandal or disrepute.

Eating for health starts with an attitude, a decision in your mind to defy “fashion” and disagree with the fast-food, crap-food, dead-food culture that is marketed and sold to us disguised as real food. The food industry is not your friend, the tobacco companies are not your friend, pharmaceutical companies are not your friends, any more than the drug cartels are your friends. They have one thing in common-they will sell you anything they can get away with for their own profit and gain. They don’t care about you, your children, your health or even your life, as long as they make money for their stock holders.

Don’t lie to yourself about their motives. They sell addiction, and misery, wrapped in a fleeting pleasure. Tobacco, refined sugar, and pesticides have all been proven and cause and feed cancer, obesity, heart disease and diabetes- and will probably be shown to cause Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and dementia.

Like Nazi occupation, this false-food permeates our land and makes prisoners of those who fall prey. You can be free of it-the decision is yours. Yes, it will may stretch your food budget to eat organic and it can be very difficult to give up sweets and breads and pastas made from white flour. (Cancer cells, fungus and parasites love sugar and white flour, too.)It takes time to cook vegetables and prepare nutritious meals and few of us have enough time these days.

I can help you find some shortcuts so that you can have foods you enjoy and still be healthy. There are some minerals like iodine that are vital to keeping your hormones and immune system strong.

In 2014 I wish for you the strength of mind it takes to create the life you want, and the good health to enjoy it.
