2012 Time for Change

Well we all know its time for change. But now there is a movie about it that looks fun to see:



However, if you are really looking for positive change, then the new Zeitgeist Moving Forward, 2011, offers a lot more wisdom and solutions in my opinion:



And don't believe the bullshi* in the media about a connection between the recent shooter in Arizona, and the Zeitgeist movie. The powers that be have to do all that they can to try and squash such positive information which goes against the system of injustice dominating the world today.

Why Diet's and Protein Diets Don't Work

Dr. Ragnar Berg was a famous Swiss authority on nutrition and biochemistry. He also won the Nobel Prize. He was also one of the world’s top authorities on the acid - alkaline balance of foods and how this balance affects the body. Dr. Ragnar Berg (1873 – 1956)

The Acid Binding / Acid Forming Tables I go by are called BERGS TABLES
In those tables rock candy and sugar cane are extremely acid binding. Sugar beets and other root vegetables are also acid binding according to this chart.  Alcohol (wine and champagne, not beer) is also acid binding. Thus it makes sense that we would crave sugar, alcohol, and cooked starches after eating an acidic meat meal. These would help bind some of that acid, even if, as is commonly know, white sugar and alcohol and cooked starches are ultimately acid forming long-term. I mean, do you ever crave a beer while you are eating a heavy meat meal? Probably not! Wine though, now that would feel good right?

My Favorite Raw Sauerkraut by Gold Mine

GOLD MINE ORGANIC RAW SAUERKRAUT 

I have been eating this sauerkraut for years. It is the best out there for sure. Not real smelly like other sauerkrauts, and the flavor is outrageously good. I love that it is made with celtic sea salt too; nice and salty!

A couple weeks ago I actually used it as a starter to make my own sauerkraut and it turned out great. I added lemon juice, herbs, cabbage, 1 carrot, a pinch of pink salt, and a tablespoon of olive oil, and some fennel. It was ready in 2 days sitting on top of my fridge. It lasted in the fridge for almost 2 weeks. I have to leave it in the lemon juice "broth" or else it starts to go bad. You can add water to the lemon juice until the broth completely covers the vegetables. When I don't do this, mold spores began to grow in the top, so make sure to cover it completely in the acidic broth.  It helps to add extra culture starter if you have it. 

What I ate today:

Green Morning Smoothie with swiss chard and nettles.

Buckwheat/Flax Cracker with Macadamia Nut Pesto

My new "Macaroni and Cheez" recipe....best ever!

Small Salad with cucumber and flax oil/raw ranch dressing.
