Start the New Year with a 5 day Juice Cleanse: Something as simple as a Juice Cleanse is a powerful jumpstart and a neutralizer. What I mean by that is when we focus on clearing out; we bring ourselves into a neutral position within ourselves by pulling ourselves away from the influence of our daily negative routines. Cleansing also brings you into another mental state, so even your normal daily routine can seem entirely different. You see your world from a different, more positive perspective. Aside from your detachment to solid foods you will also experience a sort of separation from your daily routine, your job, your household responsibilities and so on because your mental and spiritual disposition is different. Everything will seem somehow different (in a positive way). A new vision arises allowing for a fresh take on every part of your life. A rebirth of a sort!
Cleansing also provides all your nutritional need and then some in a very easily utilized form. Juicing takes care of about 90% of the digestion process. This eliminates a huge burden on your digestive system and the energy demand required to process cooked foods. Occasionally taking a break from solid foods and other routines is essential in gaining a new and healthier perspective.
This applies to our health as well; once your digestive system has a chance to have a rest, long overdue healing and rejuvenation can take place. When your digestive system is always under a full work load, there is no time for complete elimination of waste and replenishing of essential digestive juices and enzymes. In this state (which for most people is pretty much all the time) depletion of energy and resources begins to occur along with the effects of a compromised digestive system. Potential for cancer and other diseases, accelerated aging and weight gain is greatly increased by a continuously working digestive system. When you have a full stomach all the time your digestive juices and enzymes which are produced by your liver and pancreas are severely overburdened. Your organs and glands have no time to replenish. Is it any wonder that almost everyone is overweight, sick or aging prematurely? Let's give ourselves a chance to rejuvenate and heal!
During Juice Cleansing or any kind of fasting your body can now replenish these necessary and youth giving factors. The body can also utilize the newly available energy for self-healing. On a juice cleanse, the energy your body would normally use for the digestive process becomes available for other actions, such as growth of new cells, enhancement of immune functions and improved colon function (elimination).
During a juice fast your digestive system won't have to deal with the inflammatory effects of allergic foods, which by the way are ALL cooked foods. That's right – ALL cooked foods create a mild allergic reaction and stress on your immune system. During juice cleansing, triglyceride fat levels are lowered which thins the blood and improves tissue oxygenation. Oxygenation allows more efficient transport of white blood cells (strengthening of the immune system); this helps prevent cancer and guards against diseases and infections.
Ultimately juice cleansing will clean out and optimize the functioning of your entire internal system, stimulate regeneration and flush out toxins. The end result is a stronger immune system, revitalized organs and glands, weight loss, and powerful anti aging affects. You will look and feel younger and more vital!
Fasting is the most potent healer and rejuvenator ever known to mankind. My simple program will walk you through every single step of an incredible (and delicious), life changing experience. What are you waiting for? Now is the time for change!
I will be hosting a 5 day juice fast with daily conference calls and personal coaching via phone. Join me and many other Jan 1st for Fast & Juicy the Ultimate 5 Day Juice Cleans
Details coming in the next day or two. Keep your eyes on this blog!

Soybeans and products made from soybeans have been used for food and cooking purposes in the South East Asian countries for thousands of years even before the rest of the world ever knew about the uses and benefits of soybeans. Though the use of liquid seasonings made from fermented grains and other ingredients like meat, alcohol and salt dates many thousands of years back in ancient China, the preparation of liquid seasoning from soybeans has been recorded almost 2000 years back, during the Hokugi Period.
Soy based seasonings were introduced into Japan along with Buddhism around 552 AD. A semi-solid mash like substance produced from soybeans and grains, called hishio (same as Jiang in Chinese), and a fermented paste produced from hishio called miso were used extensively to season foods.
The developing of modern shoyu is believed to have evolved from the early 1200s. According to a story passed down the generations (by word of mouth), it is believed that Kakushin, a famous legendary Japanese Zen monk, on his visit to the Temple of Golden Mountain, Kinzanji, in China, learnt to make a type of miso, called the Kinzanji miso that is both sweet and chunky. After returning to Japan, he established himself near the town of Yuasa, where he taught Buddhist meditation to the local people. Alongside Buddhist meditation, he also taught how to make the specialty miso that he learnt in China. While experimenting with the preparation of miso, Kakushin is believed to have discovered that the liquid that collects atop the kegs during the preparation of miso can be used for cooking and seasoning foods. Continuing with his experiments, he increased the amount of water added to the miso mixture. At the end of the regular fermenting period during the preparation of miso, the excess liquid collected at the bottom was ladled off into another container and used as a flavoring and seasoning liquid.
Later, around late 1300s, this liquid was called tamari. Tamari comes from a Japanese word 'tamaru' which means to accumulate or to collect, which is what exactly this is, a liquid collected or accumulated on top of the miso kegs during the preparation of miso.
This
flavoring and seasoning liquid became so popular that soon it was being
used domestically as a regular seasoning. Its demand increased
steadily, and it was being produced commercially in the Yuasa regions
by late 1200s. It became so popular that even poets started praising
about its color, fragrance, taste and flavor in their
writings

On Monday, December 1, a SWAT team with
semi-automatic rifles entered
the private home of the Stowers family
in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the
family onto the couches in the living
room, and kept guns trained on
grandparents, a mother (whose husband
is currently serving as a U.S.
Navy Seabee in Iraq) and children for
four hours.
The team was aggressive and belligerent. The
children were quite
traumatized. At some point, the “bad cop” SWAT
team was relieved by
another team, a “good cop” team that tried to
befriend the family.
Altogether, this traumatic intrusion lasted
more than eight hours.
The Stowers family has run a very
large, well-known food cooperative
called Manna Storehouse on the
western side of the greater Cleveland
area for many
years.
There were agents from the Department of Agriculture
present, one of
them identified as Bill Lesho. The search warrant is
reportedly
suspicious-looking. Agents began rifling through all of
the family’s
possessions, a task that lasted hours and resulted in a
complete
upheaval of every private area in the home. Many items were
taken that
were not listed on the search warrant.
The
family was not permitted a phone call, and they were not told what
crime they were being charged with. They were not read their rights.
Over ten thousand dollars worth of food was taken, including the
family’s personal stock of food for the coming year. All of their
computers, and all of their cell phones were taken, as well as phone
and
contact records. The food cooperative was virtually shut down.
There was
no rational explanation, nor justification, for this
extreme violation
of Constitutional
rights.
Presumably Manna Storehouse might eventually be
charged with running a
retail establishment without a license. Why
then the Gestapo-type
interrogation for a 3rd degree misdemeanor
charge? This incident has
raised the ominous specter of a
restrictive new era in State regulation
and enforcement over the
nation’s private food supply.

I want to share with you some information I have discovered about Maca. Maca is a superfood root primarily from Peru. It has been revered as a sex drive enhancer, a hormone balancer effective for relieving menopause, increase the circulation in your body, strength and endurance, increases muscles strength and memory as well as being one of the most successful adaptogens found in the nature.
This powerful and beneficial superfood can be added to you smoothies, juices, sprinkled over salads or taken in water. Cacao and Maca have been combined as a super enhancer for centuries and both are available to you in the highest quality available. Get some and try it out, see for yourself what just 1 or 2 tbsp a day can do for you. Maca taste great as well; it's a bit like malt so putting it in a nutmilk or chcolate smoothie make a great drink. Get the best Maca available HERE.

Event more so does what you don't say matter? Read this story and you decide:
One
day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other
students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between
each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could
say about each of their classmates and write it down.
It took
the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as
the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That
Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a
separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about
that individual.
On
Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire
class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that
I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so
much,' were most of the comments.
No one ever mentioned
those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them
after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise
had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves
and one another. That group of students moved on.
Several
years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher
attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a
serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so
mature.
The church was packed with his friends. One by one
those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was
the last one to bless the coffin.
As she stood there, one of
the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. 'Were you Mark's
math teacher?' he asked. She nodded: 'yes.' Then he said: 'Mark talked
about you a lot.'
After
the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a
luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to
speak with his teacher.
'We
want to show you something,' his father said, taking a wallet out of
his pocket 'They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought
you might recognize it.'
Opening
the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper
that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The
teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which
she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said
about him.
'Thank you so much for doing that,' Mark's mother said. 'As you can see, Mark treasured it.'
All
of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled
rather sheepishly and said, 'I still have my list. It's in the top
drawer of my desk at home.'
Chuck's wife said, 'Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.'
'I have mine too,' Marilyn said. 'It's in my diary'
Then
Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her
wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. 'I carry
this with me at all times,' Vicki said and without batting an
eyelash, she continued: 'I think we all saved our lists'
That's
when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and
for all his friends who would never see him again.
The
density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will
end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.
So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.
And
One Way To Accomplish This Is: Forward this message on. If you do not
send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity
to do something nice and beautiful.
If
you've received this, it is because someone cares for you and it
means there is probably at least someone for whom you care.
If
you're 'too busy' to take those few minutes right now to forward this
message on, would this be the VERY first time you didn't do that
little thing that would make a difference in your relationships?
The more people that you send this to, the better you'll be at reaching out to those you care about.
Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.
May Your Day Be Blessed As Special As You
