Fad diets

Although I don't seem to have any free time to post, I am still trying new recipes with raw food, vegan delicacies etc. My journey into natural healing continues and I am learning new things every day. One simple truth is that I feel much better and much more energetic when I eat mostly those things that Mother Earth has created - with no processing.

 Sometimes people come to me and ask for one specific item that will make them feel better. Some think of a superfood or a formula or a new pill that might restore their failing health to its former glory. It would be nice to have such a product but in this moment in time it does not exist. So far I am not aware of any product which can revert overnight years of processed food, lack of exercise and toxin loading. Our body needs constant care and love just like our cars, computers and gardens do.

However many excellent formulas Dr Christopher and Dr Schulze have created, none of them can work properly if we are daily polluting our bodies with animal products, processed foods, refined foods, sugars, fried foods and 'non-foods'. I see people running here and there promoting this or that superfood, or this or that new diet - well, what a waste of time.

If it's just a 'diet' it will work short term and soon you will revert to your old (bad) habits. Much better to prevent and treat disease by eating mostly living foods, by cleaning the channels of elimination and by nourishing each tissue of our body and each living cell with a symphony of freshly picked foods. I promise you that you won't need to see your doctor every eek if you just embrace a more natural way of living. Switch off your mobile phones, gadgets, tv sets, Internet and wi-fi.

Go somewhere green - your garden or a park - and take off your shoes. Reconnect to nature by walking on bare feet. Pick some wild flowers (as long as they are not protected by special laws). Enjoy being alive!

 Radiantly yours, Franz

Review: Tesco "free from" ginger cookies (with gluten-free oat flour) wheat, dairy and gluten free

Tesco "free from" ginger cookies  http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=268624669 Hello everyone! Winter is here and it's been snowing in Norfolk - as well as in the rest of the U.K.  This is the time when all the resolutions of eating only fresh, nutritious food, raw and healthy, disappear at the same speed that the outside temperature decreases. Two weeks ago I decided to go wheat free - just like that - or cold turkey, someone would rather say more idiomatically. Anyway, after reading the first 90 pages of The Wheat Belly recipe book by Dr. Davies, anybody with a brain will start wondering if wheat is such a healthy food after all. This is not to say that Dr. Davies is 100% correct in his assumption, but let's discuss this in another post - suffice to say that in the middle of January, when most people enjoy wheat-based dishes such as pasta, bread, pasties, cakes etc. I suddenly decided to see if I would...

How to become a Family Herbalist

I must say that this course has changed my life. My family and I have not been to the doctor since I completed it last year.  Today I found a great movie where two medical doctors prove Dr. Christopher right: animal products are the main cause of modern disease. Can I dispute with statistics… .? Fork over knives - vegan is best, really

Raw veggies dinner

Raw veggies dinner Yesterday we had a raw veggie dinner. I thought we were going to starve... but after chewing all the veggies I felt completely satisfied. Weird! All I did was cutting lots of different veggies and putting 2 in each plate, and then I allowed :) some Japanese sauces and raw mayonnaise, chili sauce etc to those who wish to change the taste of things. :) The bean sprouts were swimming  in soy sauce. I also used a can of green beans (French beans), cold, just turned upside down. (I know! Not living!)  It was very tasty! Perhaps if I can learn to make raw burgers and crackers I can add those too...so far we have plain monkey nuts with our almost-raw dinners. Bon appetit!
