VitaMix

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2012-01-19T14:34:22Z

What is the Vitamix? Is a super power blender that can blend anything, literally. I am writing this to inform people that there is no point in buying a juicer. My new room mate has one, and this blender can do the job just fine.

All you do is put 2 celery sticks, 2 collard greens, some water, blend for 30 seconds then strain it through a cheese-cloth. After that add some coconut water. It's important to add the coconut water because it is SWEET, otherwise it will be bitter and nasty and you will hate to be healthy.

This costs pennies a day and it's a great way to get greens into your diet. There is nothing the vita mix can't blend, you can throw a tree into this thing, and you will have blended tree. All you do is rinse it out and you are set to go.

Some say if you blend something you heat it up and it no longer becomes raw. OK, no, my drinks are not hot, or heated after 30 seconds, and also the layman is far more concerned with convenience than anything else.
Nobody wants a "project" when making a simple drink, it's a drink dam it and it isn't supposed to take all morning.

It is pricey ($550), but go on craigs-list and look there first, make sure though when you go and buy one that it works, bring a few tree items, some rocks from space, indestructible metals, bones, and kindly ask the person if you can test the sucker out (wink). But be polite!! Ask them if they are open to allowing you to do this!! :)

But the BETTER news is that the greens daily will change your consciousness, it's like a happy pill. We were in class the other day, and we were talking about MORPHINE. Did you know that morphine does not stop you from feeling pain. You can still feel pain, it's just that you no longer CARE that you have pain.

Green leafy juices are the same, except, it's on an emotional level. IF there are things that trouble you with others, you will notice it, see it, but you won't CARE!! Not in an apathetic heartless way, you just realize that it has nothing to do with you.

It's soo funny, when you become high on green juice, people scream at you, tell you your a moron, and it's all good DUDE!! You have to promise yourself, everyday for a month-------- a green juice.

Also greens ground you and uplift you in tandem. Do you know why people are addicted to coffee? It's because of the alkaloid content. Alkaloids give you a high, but with coffee.....you crash. Greens do the same thing, except you are in happy land that is REAL without the crash. It's not an artificial, addicted, coping fake high.

Back to the VITA MIX. Yeah, best little gadget I have ever used. I MUST HAVE a Vita mix now. I get twitchy if I feel I can't have one.

Also green supplements are pricey. There is no point going down that road. Also you can add herbs to those drinks. Fresh reishi mushrooms, vanilla bean, coffee beans (why not?), and eye of noot.

Peace out,

P90X--End of Week 1

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-11-27T02:55:33Z

Hello ya'll.

There have been some changes.
1.) my eyesight has improved I no longer squint in class

2.) I can do all the warrior poses in Moksha Yoga. I took Moksha before 3x/week for a month and after that I still couldn't hold any warrior poses for any longer than 3 seconds and I had to modify all of them.

The pic on your left.... this was how I was doing my warrior poses, this is modified. Notice where her right hand is placed. Check photo down the page and notice where her right hand is placed. That's the more advanced version. Last night I did all the advanced warrior poses and held them comfortably. My thighs would always burn and give out. Also anytime I went up a flight of stairs my thighs would burn.

That's how weak my legs were. In fact in the P90X leg routine they make you do seated chair pose at the END. Moksha last night was a bit too easy, which never happens. I enjoyed it immensely, it gives me a chance to practice what I learned at downward dog.

In Ashtanga we learned how to do upward dog and downward dog properly. I never really knew. The major con with Moksha Yoga is the lack of adequate instruction on how to do the poses properly. Also very few instructors come by and adjust their students. That's why I go to downward dog. To get my adjustments and to learn everything the proper way. There IS always a right way to do poses.

I am also more flexible in 1 week, than one month of Moksha Yoga training.
Can't finish a plyometrics routine or a kenpo routine yet, but your not expected to, thats' the challenge.......to finish it. I can see my rectus abdominus and external obliques slightly through my mid section.

I have a salad everyday and I put on top of it the following:
1.) kelp powder
2.) nutritional yeast
3.) dulse flakes
4.) hemp seeds

When I run out of hemp powder I am going to buy Sun Warrior. The best vegan protein supplement on the market today.

Those are my gains. Biggest improvement......yoga. A lot of trigger points in my butt and back resolved themselves after the yoga and working out the antagonists.

PX90

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-11-22T02:20:05Z

It all started with the trip to my dad's house. We were celebrating his birthday and one of my family members told me he downloaded PX90. Some freakish workout routine. So of course I HAD to download it too.

It's this 90 day workout routine. You weight train 3x/week, stretch 2x week, do Kenpo and Plyometrics 1xweek, Abs workouts go with the weight training regimes. Kenpo is basically combination punching and kicking, and plyometrics is bascially jumping around for an hour. The workouts are an hour long. The workouts are insanely intense, you never rest or stop and you lift your own body weight.

So I had a gander at this beast after I downloaded it. I have been training at the gym for about a month. You basically have to get in shape to "get in shape".

I looked at the diet, and for me this is the hardest only because of the CONSTANT eating. I have no problem cutting out junk food. The only thing is that I no longer consume dairy products, only in my coffee. I also eat tons of avocado and hemp oil. In this diet the first 3 weeks are the fat shredder, so scrap the hemp oil. I threw dairy back into my diet. I hate milk, so it's yogurt and cottage cheese. 1% fat.

The first 3 weeks is this fat shredder diet, where your intake of fat is 1tablespoon of oils or avocado/day. EEEK. But I can have 2 dairies. 1 Carb serving , 2 vegie servings, 1 fruit serving, and 5 servings of protein ..........DEAR GOD!! Oh and snacks. Like I can stuff that in.

Sooooo, I have only done 3 px90 workouts, and 3 yoga classes. But I have set up my routine for the next 3 weeks. Here's my schedule

Monday: Yoga at downward dog: ashtanga series, level 1

Tuesday: Legs and back

Wednesday: Plyometrics

Thursday: Shoulders and arms

Friday: Yoga: Moksha series: 60 minutes

Saturday: Chest and back

Sunday: Kenpo

I started to change my diet before I began the program just to get used to eating...100x per day. So I have done the leg workout, that was hard. The kenpo was hard, and the shoulders and arms, easy. I have strong shoulders and arms and I think the weights I was using were too light.

My classmates want a before photo, but I don't have a fashionable bikini for that. Sorry out of luck, but I might take a picture of body parts as I go along. (giggles)

So I bring my labtop to the gym and look like a PX90 fool. So I am going to chronicle that for the next 90 days.

SO far: what was soooo surprising, cause I have been eating like a COW, is that my tight jeans were loose, yeah my sexy $300 Joey jeans, loose!!

So far this is my diet.

8 oz water frist thing in morning with L-glutamine, MSM, cell rejuvinate, Spa tone iron supplement.

After workout drink:

Smoothie: Half banana: bunch spinach, yogurt, maca, 2 scoops hemp protein, E3 live. Add water, blend.

3 eggs scrambled. Free range.

Green drink

Open faced tuna sandwhich with 100% rye bread with coconut oil. Toasted

Organic Fish with vegies or organic chicken with salad.

I hate tofu, can't eat the stuff and my thyroid feels like it's gonna blow up. I am not a huge meat eater either.
Although you can make a killer ceaser dressing with tofu!! It's so easy just combine tofu with garlic, ollve oil, and lemon in a blender and POOF vegan ceasar salad dressing.

I don't make claims to be a vegan or vegetarian. Although people insist that I am no matter what I say. I could live without meat, the sameway I could live without junk food. There are vegan complete protein supplements that I probably would have to eat in replacement. Most of my friends are vegan. That's why I got the bestest recipes. Truthfully, the meat protein is really hard on my stomach. I have to take digestive enzymes or else I suffer.

But the good news is I only eat this much protein for 3 weeks, then it goes down to a saner level. My body is super duper athletic and I need the protein. I tried raw food and yes it took my symptoms of the autism away to a certain degree but other parts of my life suffered. I am trying to find the ultimate balance.

Stay tuned: I will let you know how huge I become, oh but I have noticed that GAY MEN are finding me more attractive!! Lucky me!

A Typical Month At SC Massage School

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-10-13T22:56:24Z

Typical day at Sutherland-chan. We had an MSK oral practical today (O.P), and I did a ventral glide on the hip, stripped piriformis and did P.I.R with some facial work to boot. Checked the mailbox for the latest on our other O.P’s ........90% in therapeutic exercise, 96% clinical knee assessment.

2 weeks ago..............

Our class was doing its first knee assessment and fifty percent of the us were expected to fail.

My O.P partner and I stumbled into the examining cubicle and prepared for our doom. We didn’t want to be one of the fifty percent, and be branded onto the wall of “assessment shame”. He did his knee assessment first, and I went second. Afterwards we huddled together on the massage table as if our entire self esteem was based on the examiner’s decision. It’s like in Canadian Idol were you hold each other’s hands as you wait to see who stays and who gets booted. She sighed as she told my partner that he failed. She then told me I almost got perfect. Off he went to join the other 15 people who also didn't make it to prepare to do it again.

The next week, ...........the therapeutic exercise O.P got pushed ahead 1 week, Jes “without the icca” (our instructor) was leaving for Tim Buck Two. The stakes were high, and nobody was prepared. I had the same O.P partner and he and I were going in again to meet our doom. It was rough, I couldn’t touch my toes, and my partner could barely do child’s pose. It was the O.P of “inflexible horrors”. It was the same examiner as the last time. I am sure my O.P partner was getting clammy hands at the sight of her again. She was pleased with our comical performances and we both did well. Phew, scraped by that one.

Back to the present...........

It’s not all peachy greens and scents of success. I had my midterm review with my clinic instructor. Apparently I completely suck, and he intends on failing me unless I get a tutor. He was appalled that I didn’t know to treat the scalene muscles with thoracic outlet syndrome. He had nothing positive to say to me and I walked home crying in the pouring rain.

There you have it, the handy, the dandy, the magical and the tragical of the Sutherland-Chan experience.

How to Grow WheatGrass.......:)

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-07-16T21:22:00Z

The cost of buying fresh cut wheatgrass from someone else is really pricey. It can be about $50 a month. If you grow it yourself it costs $6 a month after you buy what you need. I have grown it before, and I decided to grow it again. I am going to break down the cost for you.

What you Need
1.) Soil (five bags of topsoil for $10 at Loblaws on sale, about a years supply)
2.) Cafeteria trays (from dollar store or a school that doesn't need them)
3.) Manuel wheat grass juicer (the healthy juicer) ($60 with tax)
4.) Organic Hard Wheatberries ($3 for 1 kg, at the Big Carrot) (probably need 2kg per/month for 1 person)
5.) Ocean water (called OceanGrown) ($30 for 1 liter, about 6 months supply)

Start up cost $106. If you want the grow lamp I believe they are $140. But all you need for wheatgrass is to put them by a window. I have put mine outside in a shady area.
Of course, when you start to grow one thing, you will want to start growing other things. You can also grow sunflower sprouts, pea shoots, and buckwheat sprouts. You can also make rejuvelac with your wheatberries. I will explain all that in another post.

Ok, here's the deal, I am going to explain how to make wheatgrass so that it will have ninety plus minerals in it. You do not need to buy top of the line soil because you will be watering your wheatgrass with Ocean water. Ocean water contains all the minerals we need. That's why seaweed is so healthy for you, it grows in the ocean which is mineral rich. Volcano ash and kelp meal are mineral rich alternatives.The wheatgrass can only take up as many minerals as it has access to. Since ocean water is so mineral rich you need to put 2 tsp (of ocean water) in 4L of pure water. Or 1 to 100.

Step 1: Soak I cup of hard (not soft) wheatberries in pure water that has the corresponding amount of ocean water it in........... overnight.

Step 2: Drain the water, then put it in a container that has a mesh screen or cheesecloth on its top. Tilt the wheatberries on a bowl. You want them to start to sprout (grow tails). This takes a couple of days and you have to keep watering and rinsing the wheatberries as to keep them moist.
Keep these wheatberries out of the light and in a dark space.

Step 3: When the wheatberries have sprouted (grown tails) they are ready for planting (about 2days). Get out your cafeteria tray and put only 1 inch of soil on the tray. Wheatberries need very little soil, infact you can grow them without soil. Spread the wheatberries evenly over the tray. Then water the soil.

Step 4: Cover the tray with a cloth and let the tray stand for a couple of days in darkness until you see the grass push the cloth up. That's when they are ready to be placed in the light.

Step 5: Place them outside in a shady area, or by a window, or under a grow lamp. If you see mold do not worry as it tends to stick to the roots and you do not juice the roots. Wheatgrass grows best in indirect sunlight and warm temperatures. About twenty degrees.

Step 6: There is a lot of debate as to when to harvest the wheatberries, some people say wait until the grass grows 6 inches, others say wait until it reaches 8 inches. I have discovered that the type of berry makes a huge difference. My grass is dark green and thick, and its optimal length is 6 inches. I have discovered that the grass that reaches 8 inches in length tend to be skinner and lighter green. You harvest the grass until it reaches the desired length or until the grass splits, (grows another blade within it). This process takes many days, perhaps up to 10 days even for the 6 inch grass. Water the grass twice daily, but do not drown your grasslings. Lift up from the roots and take a peek to see if the roots are moist. Make sure the soil is moist but not soaking.

Step 7: Harvest the wheatgrass by cutting at the roots, and harvest it all at once (it will keep for about a week in the fridge). You can use the rooting system as mulch for your garden. Or you can compost it. Anne Wigmore suggests that you can allow the wheatgrass to re-grow a second time and harvest again. It's up to you. It is rumoured that the quality isn't as good.

How much to take?: The Hippocrates Health Institute recommends taking only 2oz at any one time and up to 4oz a day. They don't not give their patients anymore than that. The ocean grown wheatgrass is extremely potent, it's like getting a good kick in the ass. So 4oz of ocean grown wheatgrass is NOT the same as wheatgrass grown with polluted tap water. The juicer I have recommended is the same juicer the Hippocrates Health Institute recommends. See my hyperlinks above to find out where to get everything.

Gluteal Draping -- How to Get Over Yourself Real Fast

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-02-17T22:00:00Z

Ahhh, there is nothing quite like learning to get over your body image issues like having one of your classmates massage your BUTT (opps,sorry, BUTTOCKS).

You can't say the following terms in our school:

butt
panties
underwear
flip
shimmy
scooch

Everyone gets to see your gluteals. Not just your partner massaging you, but all the people at the massage tables around you, plus the instructors.

IF you do not think people are looking, then you are in
                                        DENIAL

It's a real test. You can't hide behind clothes anymore, because you don't have any ON!!

             Your private areas are now public arena

Oh yes indeed, and it gets worse as your instructors saunter by to have a discussion with your massage partner about how to best massage your gluteals. As if it wasn't horrifying enough.

If you have any issues with being partially nude in front of others, this is a quick wake up call. It was a healing for me. It's great to feel exposed. It's great to feel like I can't hide behind anything anymore. Nudity is a great teacher, and healer.

That's how we compensate/cope isn't it? By hiding behind something, figuratively or literally. Clothes are the most basic form of it. Many pick out clothes to purposefully conceal all their "flaws" because they do not want the whole world to see what they feel most ashamed of.   ...........  their body.

GASP!! People feel ashamed of their body? Well I'll be dammed.

The whole weight loss industry preys on people's SHAME. That is why many people will pay the big bucks.................. to escape feelings of chronic shame.

I can totally understand. In order to find a mate, women and men, intuitively know that they have to look good, or they won't attract a partner.

One way to accept yourself just as you are can be to expose yourself, and let people have a GOOD LOOK!! And allow them to think what they will. People are either going to like what they see or don't. If you were a model, people will either like what they see, or they won't. Can't please everyone, so why try?

Libido: Has Your Giddy-Up, Gotten Up and Gone?

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-02-02T00:03:51Z

You knew there was a reason why you kept going to that newspaper stand everyday sharp at 4pm. You knew there was some inner frenzy within you wanting it to be four o’clock everyday, but lately you can’t remember why you go anymore.

then he saunters by………….

and you remember how you used to feel when you saw

his four o clock stubble gleaning off his chiseled face
his round and inviting pecs wanting you to feel them
his puckered full lips, and how nicely they would nurse themselves around your curvy breasts
firm soft hands ready at your whim to massage every crevice of muscle tissue on your body
and as your gaze slides downward you can only imagine the thrusting power of his gluteal muscles

But now…….

It’s just some shmuck in jeans, that needs a shave. Sigh.

Something needs to be done, but what kind of help do women get for low libido? Isn’t that kind of thing just for men? You want the sex drive back without having to be one of those people, that has to resort to trips to the pharmacy just have ”gusto” again.

You aren’t old and frigid for heavens sakes! Is there some sort of sane, and natural way, to get help, without side effects, and horror stories?

Yes there is. There are many healthy ways to bring back libido. There are foods, herbs, and even homeopathic remedies to help. There are ways for women to feel sexual and alive again.

Can Homeopathy Suppress Disease Symptoms?

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-01-24T00:57:00Z

The alternative health community is guilty of pointing an accusatory finger at allopathic medicine. They tout and rant about how bad it is because it suppresses illness and does nothing to heal it. Well I have a news flash for you ...................

                                                              Homeopathy CAN suppress symptoms too!

By the way so can herbs. GASP!!

Let's explore how this is possible. Samuel Hahnemann observed that in nature "like cures like". When two diseases that are similiar come into contact with one another in the human body, the stronger similiar disease, will render the weaker disease ineffective.    AKA, cure it.

An example is small pox and cow pox. Two different diseases but SIMILIAR in the expressions of their symptoms upon the human body. So if you have small pox and I give you an innoculation of cow pox that is stronger than the intensity of your small pox symptoms, the inncoluation will render the small pox ineffective and you will no longer have it.

Do you understand? Sort of? Kind of? Not really? Do you need a coffee break?

Ok, now the opposite is true. When two dissimiliar diseases come into contact in a human body the stronger dissimiliar disease will SUPPRESS the weaker one. Let's say you have chronic eczema and you get cancer. Two completely different disease states, and symptoms. The cancer will suppress the eczema, because cancer is a stronger deeper dissimiliar disease than eczema.  The eczema will appear to go away. The eczema has simply been suppressed. When the cancer is healed the eczema will come back worse than it was before the cancer appeared.

                                              All suppressed conditions come back worse

                                        Homeopathic remedies are artificial disease states

                   When you take a remedy, the body believes it has taken on a new disease

Homeopathic remedies by their design will always be stronger than the illness a patient has, therefore rendering the disease ineffective. But only if the homeopath finds the similiar remedy to the patient's diease.

Quiz: What would happen if a homeopath choose a remedy that was dissimiliar to the disease the patient has?

Homeopathy: Con or Cure?

Best Homeopathic Doctor — 2011-01-16T19:53:00Z

CBC marketplace has aired a show just recently asking: Is Homeopathy Con or Cure?

Here is the link http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2011/cureorcon/. Feel free to watch it.

The intention of this program is to discredit homeopathy.

The whole argument is that there isn't any active ingredient in homeopathy so therefore it's essentially "nothing". There isn't supposed to be an active ingredient in homeopathic medicine, that's the whole point of homeopathy, it's an energetic form of medicine, and NOT chemical in nature. We have remedies made from snake venom, do you really want ANY active ingredient in those remedies?

The logic is: if there isn't an active ingredient then it can't possible have any effect on human beings.
Oh really? What's the active ingredient in Sunlight? Sound? Electricity? Or even thought?

There isn't one. WHY? because it's ENERGY!! Electricity is an energy and not a substance, ELF waves, radio waves, microwaves, sound, and light. They are all examples of "energy". And they affect us.

Capturing energy and making a medicine from it is called ...........HOMEOPATHY!

We capture energy from the sun all the time and we call that solar panels. Plants capture and store sunlight through photosynthesis. Energy can be captured and stored. Water is used as a medium for storage in homeopathy. Massaru Emoto has already scientifically proven that water can store energy and retain memory. We store energy in our own cells, in our mitochondria. Energy can be harnessed and stored. And that CAN be scientifically proven.

Homeopathy has never claimed to have an active ingredient. It's not supposed to. What the scientific community needs to do to discredit homeopathy is prove that the remedies contain no energetic memories of the substance it is made from. Then they can have a claim. Then they can have an arguement.

PS: homeopathics can NOT be used to vaccinate. There is no such thing as a homeopathic vaccine. Homeopathy is "like cures like", not "same cures same". You only give homeopathics to people that are already suffering from an illness, not to prevent illness. Gosh!
