Everyone wants a quick fix. There is no magic pill. You can't get rid of lung cancer by simply eating broccoli.Your condition is probably the result of choices you have made that led up to this point, and it helps to understand what caused the condition in the first place so you can make sure it doesn't happen again or continue to get worse.

The answer to real health isn't about simply adding something to what you are presently doing... but more importantly what you take away.

Health is body, mind and spirit. If ten years of intense stress turned into a physical condition, you can't just take an herb or pill. You have to address the cause of the stress and neutralize it in your life. I will try and help you with that, but you must ultimately heal yourself as a whole being- body, mind and spirit.

This summary lists the most common causes, symptoms and what to take and do about them. This is a cheat sheet. Remember, simply taking some herbs isn't going to magically make you well if you continue to do what caused the condition. It is HIGHLY recommended you read the HEAL YOURSELF 101 DIET AND LIFESTYLE book and follow it's guidelines. If you do that, most of what you have will probably go away without even reading this. What you have is just a symptom. To eliminate the symptom, eliminate the cause.

The bottom line is you need to feel good again. OK. roll up your sleeves and let's start right now.

HOW TO USE THIS INFORMATION

What you are about to read is a compilation of information I have been gathering for the last twenty years. It is totally up to date with the very latest findings. Much of it has been tested on myself and others I know. This is just one category from over 600 I have been assembling, for a book I have been putting together over the years... an all- encompassing health reference where anyone can look up their condition and see what to do about it. It's taken me years and I'm still not done. The way it's going, it will probably be a thousand page book. This is a massive undertaking. In the meantime, people are needlessly dying and struggling painfully with totally avoidable health conditions. I need to get what I have out there RIGHT NOW. So, even though I am not finished, I am sharing what I have so far. I have broken it into pertinent categories and tried to keep the explanations as short and too the point as possible. The most effective way to use this is to read the main DIET and LIFESTYLE bookl along with the category that best fits your condition. There may be several categories that should be read simultaneously because everything connects. Most people don't think much of the colon, liver and kidneys, but that's where it all backs up. You can't just put a cream on psoriasis and expect it to magically go away when all of your blood is toxic and just trying to push the toxins out through your skin. You need to clean the source, not the symptom.

HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS

There will be listings of the best supplements and herbs to take for specific conditions. Supplements (vitamins, amino acids etc) should be taken at a specific dosage for the most part. But herbs are simply plants. How much you take is up to you. They are powders or liquid tinctures made from plants. You can't overdose on dandelion. But you CAN take too little to have an effect. As a general rule, tinctures are concentrated liquids that are more powerful than powders. But all you have to do is take more powder. It's that simple. Mix the powders in water or juice and take throughout the day. I will tell you where to get the herbs online and they will send them to you. Simply mix them in a bowl and start by taking a teaspoon in water 3x a day. If they are too bitter, add some raw honey or green stevia powder (a natural sweetener made from leaves). Don't use the white stevia, it's processed and refined. You can obviously get herbs in capsule form at the health food store, but at a considerable mark-up. herbs don't cost that much. I have certain ready-to go herbal formulas if you want it already done for you. You can get them at MarkusProducts.comBut you can do everything yourself. That's the point of all this- to empower you with enough information to take your life into your own hands. Healing should not be expensive, clinical or painful. It should be natural and done at home. You are in control. It's YOUR life. Let me jump start you. This information is timeless. It's healed millions if not billions of people throughout history. Remember, the first step is cleaning out before taking magic healing herbs and supplements.

The language is basic, blunt and to the point. It's not in some flowery pretty format. Sometimes it's just a list of what to take with no explanations. I tried to explain what I could, but remember, I had to do over 600 categories ! This would have taken years more... but you need this now. Please excuse the mess.

I am not a doctor and I cannot give medical advice. I am sharing with you my own findings, experiences and results from over twenty years of personal study. These are just my opinions. Please take care.

WithLove

Markus

TIPS:For example it might say take cherries for lycopene... but no fresh berries are available. Many health food stores have organic cherries in the freezer section. (30% of vitality is lost by freezing, but it's much better than nothing). You can also get some freeze-dried powdered berries from herb companies with most antioxidants still intact. It's not wise to get dried fruit though because the sugars are too concentrated... unless you soak them in water first.

Take stuff 3 or 4 x a day. Don't think just taking one tiny swallow a day is going to do anything. You drink giant sugary sodas all day that are full of chemicals and you don't think twice about it. Yet you are afraid to swallow a teaspoon of healthy herb.

Amino Acids- yes you can take specific amino acids for specific conditions, but it's a lot easier to simply eat or drink something that naturally has lots of amino acids like chlorella, bee pollen, nutritional yeast, durian, etc.

HERB AND PLANT SAFETYGet to know what plants are what. Plants and herbs are powerful, just like medicine. Start with the ones you know and avoid the ones you don't. Study and learn about the rest before taking them. Some plants are poisonous- for example- oleander- any part of the plant can kill almost instantly. Hemlock is poison. Then there are plants that can do miraculous things, but are harmful if not used correctly- these include poke, belladonna, lobelia, foxglove and jimson weed.

Herbs can interact with prescription medicine. They can also interact with other herbs, making them stronger or weaker or prolong the effect.

Pregnant women should be careful. Some herbs are uterine stimulants and could cause abortion... BUT other herbs can counteract that... so know your herbs and consult with a specialist first. One person I highly recommend is James Sloane- his website is mountainmistbotanicals.com

Good Luck and Lots of Health !

BODY BUILDINGI am not going to talk about how to lift weights. I’m sure you already know all that. This is about how to be HEALTHY, strong and good looking. Just because somebody has big muscles does not mean they are healthy. Many bodybuilders and wrestlers die in their 40s. There is also a big difference in the muscle quality of a regular meathead and a raw foodist. Gorillas are 5 times stronger than a human and they are vegetarians. Many normal body builders have muscles, ligaments and tendons snapping off their bones because they aren’t built with the right materials. They have big fluffy muscles built out of quick-fix toxic elements, including animal protein, whey, dairy and chemicals. They get sick a lot, have lots of mucus, and much of the time are groggy, tired, aggresive, dopey, hazy, clogged up and slow. Their bodies smell of ammonia from all the meat and acidic wastes. Ammonia is seriously toxic and destructive to the body- it deforms DNA and causes cancer. Some bodybuilders even become impotent. Is this all worth it?

Raw foodists on the other hand are full of energy yet calm, never get sick and are much stronger pound for pound. Yes the muscles take a bit longer to get big, but the quality of muscle fiber is much stronger and don’t pop off bones. My friend Matt and I are skinny compared to many of the lugheads at the gym, but while they huff and puff and make funny faces trying to pull 300 pounds, I’m right next to them pulling 400, yet my muscles are no where near as big and I’m not even making funny faces. I know it’s more about looking strong than actually being strong, but I don’t think I look weak. I guess the comparison would be Bruce Lee instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think looking ripped, lean, fast and furious is more exciting and sexier than someone who looks like they couldn’t move fast if their life depended on it. I’d rather be a lion or cheetah instead of a gorilla or elephant any day.

A great benefit to living on a living foods raw diet is not having to spend as much time in the gym as a regular person who overeats and doesn't live healthy.

The reason many vegetarians and raw vegans are so skinny and have problems gaining muscle size and weight is because they are low in stomach acid and can't digest the tough cellulose fiber .

It's all connected. For example, iron is required by red blood cells to carry oxygen. But proper levels of stomach acid (HCL) are required for proper absorption of minerals like iron and calcium... and most people's stomach acids are too weak to do the job properly. That's why we get gas- because the food doesn't properly digest so it ferments and rots. So low stomach acid levels end up making us anemic, makes our bones brittle, lets parasites pass through and even makes our hair turn grey. Low stomach acid levels means food doesn't get digested which means nutrients don't get absorbed which means nutritional deficiencies which leads to skinny grey haired people. That's why many vegetarians and even raw foodists are so skinny- they are not chewing their greens well enough and their stomach acid levels are too low to digest the tough

cellulose to let the nutrients through. That's why blending is so important. It breaks apart all the tough cells allowing the powerful nutrition from the raw food out and into our bodies. The fiber is liquified which means less work for our bodies to digest.

Skinny people who raised their stomach acid levels got their weight back. All because the stomach acid allowed food to be digested better so more nutrients were absorbed. Drinking green smoothies every day (liquid salads) is a complete and natural way to not only restore HCl levels, but they also contain all the nutrients, minerals, amino acids (proteins) and fiber needed to build a strong body.

***GREEN SMOOTHIES EVERY DAY*** mandatory. See diet and lifestyle book.Smoothies must have at least 2/3 dark leafy greens. The chlorophyll in the greens gets oxygen to our cells and greens are full of protein. One head of endive for example has the same amino acid levels as one piece of chicken, and it's a lot easier to digest. That chicken needs to be turned into a liquid first, then into amino acids, then reassembled into human protein. Plant amino acids are ready to go. The blender makes them liquid.... gets into your body a lot faster than meat!

ENZYMES- especially Protease which helps break down protein

Sunlight helps muscles grow- expose genitals for testosterone

Fast. (as in not eating- I know it sound counterproductive, but read on) Muscle mass gain, health and nutrient absorption is improved with those who don't eat one day a week (juices or water only) Studies show when a person fasts for 24 hours there is no decrease in cell protein. The body eats up fats during a fast, but it will spare protein. Fasting revitalizes the sex and endocrine glands and normalize hormone production and increases the production of growth hormone, a side benefit of which is reversing the aging process.

Fasting rejuvenates digestive systems, makes assimilation more efficient again which helps underweight people gain weight again. Sure some weight is lost, but most of it is fat, and muscle gain is twice as much after eating resumes again. This means people who fast have bigger muscles and less fat :-)Again- if you fast (don’t eat solid food) one day a week and give your body a rest, your muscles grow twice as fast the next day/week. Every noticed how much better you feel after a good night’s sleep and how much more energy you have the next day? Your muscles are the same way !

Some people get sick when they fast. These people are often overweight and really toxic. When the ability of the liver to detoxify is exceeded, the excess toxins are converted in to fat for storage until they can be processed by the liver. When these people fast, the body breaks down the fat as a fuel source and the stored toxins are released back in to the bloodstream. If this happens too fast and the person isn’t doing bowel cleansing to immediately usher the released toxins out the back door, they get overburdened with the released toxins and get sick. Bowel cleansing is so important.

That is step one ! All of the toxins and their metabolites need to be eliminated, which will be primarily though the intestines.Second step is liver cleansing- by taking bitter herbs and letting them touch the tongue.

If you are on medication, consult health care practitioner, do not just do water. Children under 12 are not recommended to fast.

Surprise the muscles- vary exercise. Don’t keep doing the same routine every time you go to the gym. You’re boring the heck out of your muscles, just like YOU would get tired and bored doing the same exact thing at work every day. It can actually drain you instead of power you up. Keep it fresh and exciting !

Another surprising discovery is that going to the gym every day is actually counterproductive. Your muscles need time to heal and grow and your cells need time to rid themselves of metabolic wastes, which increase dramatically for bodybuilders. The latest generation of bodybuilders is finding that working out less leads to better results. My friend Dan only works out twice a week and he’s huge. You can see him on my Youtube site. At least do every other day, (4 days a week) not every day.

EXERCISE IS IMPORTANT !Exercise helps to keep the blood moving, which aids in waste removal. The lymphatic system, which also removes wastes and excess water, is also enhanced by exercise as it requires the vascular system to work properly. Exercise helps with stress reduction and immune stimulation. It is also essential for the formation of bone. Bone is piezoelectric and requires physical stresses, such as exercise, to mineralize the collagen matrix through electrodeposition. When people are bed ridden for example they lose bone density due to the lack of physical stress on the bone tissue.

DON’T OVERWORK YOURSELFAnd finally, all that hard-earned nutrition you are gobbling up is not going to do any good unless your body can absorb it- and THAT’S the big key factor to success. It’s not really the fuel you are taking in as much as the CLEANING OUT that makes the big difference. You can put super gasoline in a car but if it’s all rusted out and gummed up, that car isn’t going to work right. You need to clean it out ! Your nutrition gets into your bloodstream and body through your intestinal walls , and if you’ve been living the modern typical lifestyle of flour foods (bread, pasta etc), dairy, cheese, meat, pizza, etc, then your intestinal lining is coated with a hard mucoid plaque that doesn’t allow stuff to get through. You could actually be starving yourself despite eating all the best food in the world. The first step is a serious cleansing- enemas or colonics, and fiber. And then lots of probiotics and cultured, fermented foods. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT !!!!

CULTURED AND FERMENTED FOODSThere are good bacteria and bad bacteria in your body. The healthy stuff (probiotics) help fight bad stuff and also break down food- BUT- they are usually outnumbered because of modern lifestyle and food choices. If you really want to increase the absorption of protein in your system, then you need to up your intake of LIVE cultured foods. (raw sauerkraut, kefir, acidophilus etc). Those expensive dry powder capsules you buy the health food store are many times useless. These are living things- and they sit on the shelf in the store for a long time, suffocating inside those capsules with no air or moisture... how long do you think they can stay alive like that? The best probiotics are ones sold in glass bottles in liquid form. Kefir is one of the best- and you can make your own ! And once you start a culture, you can keep re-using it for free ! That’s what I do - I put kefir grains in coconut water and always have a supply available every day.

Probiotics can increase the bioavailabilty of protein by as much as 100X !!!

WHAT IS KEFIR AND HOW DO YOU MAKE IT ?Kefir is a bunch of bacteria and yeasts that are really good for us and helps our body fight bad bacteria and yeasts. We need a lot of it in our digestive tract. It’s very easy

to grow in your kitchen and once you get it started, you have an endless lifetime supply. There are 2 kinds- MILK KEFIR that you grow in cow, goat or coconut milk...

and WATER KEFIR, that you grow in fruit juice or coconut water. These are living breathing powerful all natural antibiotic organisms that feed and multiply. You buy

the “grains” and plop them in a jar of sweet natural liquid and within a day or two you have a fermented healthy substance to help fight illness and digestive problems.

INSTRUCTIONSIn glass jar, add the kefir culture to the appropriate liquid (coconut milk,

coconut water, fruit juice, raw goat milk, etc)Top with paper towel or cloth and rubber band so it can breathe (do NOT seal

airtight or it will explode!)Wait 12-24 hours until it cultures and thickens (ok to stir with wood spoon

during this time) do not use metal or plastic during any of thisWhen done, remove the grains and add to new jar of coconut water (these

things are reuseable!)Drink and enjoy the batch you just made.

Milk Kefir is more powerful and has more beneficial strains than Water Kefir, but you can drink more water kefir at one time so that makes up for it.

Water kefir made with coconut water tastes like champagne- very refreshing

Milk Kefir made with coconut milk or almond milk or raw goat milk tastes like and can be used like yoghurt or whipped cream or cake topping. You can mix fruit with it

after it’s ready.

Note: there are also kefir “starter kits” available in stores which are cheap manufactured kefir powders in little foil bags that don’t last long. They are created in

labs and don’t have anywhere near the power of kefir “grains” which are naturally occurring cultures that have been passed down through the generations. They look like little gooey bits of cauliflower and when they start multiplying, you can share the

new ones with your friends and spread the health-giving benefits to your friends. After the initial twenty dollar investment- this is FREE FOOD AND MEDICINE !!!

You can read more and buy Kefir grains online at places likehttp://www.culturesforhealth.com/Kefir-Grains-c37/

And this is one of the most important steps to bodybuilding- and it’s quite easy-

GET PLENTY OF REST !!! Healing and muscle building takes place when we are asleep. Professional

bodybuilders only do 3 things- work out, eat and SLEEP as much as possible.

Go to bed early- like 10 pm- NEVER past midnight. Most natural healing takes place between 10 pm and 1 am.

LACTIC ACIDWe all know working our muscles creates lactic acid (lactate). Yes, exercise does produce acidity. But the body is an amazing recycling center. Some of the lactate will be converted back in to glucose. In turn the glucose will used for the production of more energy. The majority of the lactate though will actually be used itself as fuel for the muscles and brain. Acids also protect us from bacteria, viruses, mold, fungus and yeast.Too much working out can produce too much lactate though. Do you know what removes lactate from our bodies? Oxygen.Nature is so perfect. After working or exercising really hard, what are we doing? Breathing really heavy. Amazing how that’s all thought out huh? So one of the best things you can do after heavy exercises is deep breathing.

OXYGENBack in the 80s the Russians were experimenting with oxygen for improving athletic performance of their Olympic athletes. These were basically solutions of water containing vitamins and minerals that were also infused with oxygen. I am not sure if they were using ozone, peroxides or what. Anyway, they found that oxygen would absorb 40% faster through the stomach than through the lungs. So they would give these to their athletes during training to quickly remove the lactate from the systems so they could train harder and longer. We do something similar here, but we give our athletes the extra oxygen through hyperbaric training. Anyway, the point is that I think you will get the best results from ozonating your water and drinking it immediately for the same reason. Of course for that would would need an ozone machine and an oxygen machine, which isn’t cheap, but just letting you know. Oxygen is actually absorbed into our bodies faster through the stomach than through our lungs.

CLEAN YOUR LIVER

This is one of the most important steps because the liver not only filters and cleans your body, but iproduces hormones, and glucose, your body’s energy supply which you need for working out and healing. The liver also produces growth hormones, especially insulin growth factor (IGF) and epidural growth factor (EGF). I suggest you read the liver ebook. I sell a liver formula to help keep it clean.

NITRIC OXIDEAllows blood to circulate with less force. Raising nitric oxide levels in hypertensive patients can lower blood pressure by 10 to 60 points. It’s great for athletic and sexual performance.It helps prevent dangerous clots (lessens clotting)reduces arterial plaque by 50% by reducing inflammation in artery walls by inhibiting the passage of monocytes, a type of immune cell into the artery wall that promotes inflammationNitric Oxide can't be measured very easily because it disappears almost instantly when exposed to air. It can't be taken in supplement form because it's a gas. But people can take supplements that help increase nitric oxide in blood vessels.-L-Arginine- 2,000 to 3,000 mg twice a day totalling 4,000 to 6000 a day-L-Citrulline- arginine doesn't enter cells well unless combined with L-Citrulline. Melons and cucumbers are good sources but don't provide enough to significantly increase nitric oxide levels-400-600 mg daily-Vit E to helpVit C helps-aerobic exercise at least 20 min 3x a week-cut or minimize saturated fats- meats, butter, whole milk- contributes to arterial plaqueBetter- olive oil, fish and flax- raise beneficial HDL and lower bad LDL-more fiber- fruits and vegetables lowers blood pressure and LDL and raises LDL.-drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to help fiber move through your system properly

There are a few supplements that can help though with strength and endurance. For example the herb tribulus terrestris raises testosterone to help increase muscle mass. Suma helps the cells to utilize oxygen more efficiently. And carnitine is a great amino acid for boosting energy levels. It works by moving fats in to the mitochondria to be burnt as fuel.

Extra zinc is a good idea, especially with the high protein diet to help reduce the risk of prostate issues. Make sure the zinc is taken with a large meal or you’ll feel bad. Take around 50 mg a day.

ARGININE-essential amino acid, boosts growth hormone and regulates the thymus for immune health. For athletes and body builders, arginine increases muscle while lowering appetite and burning fat. It helps heal skin and wounds, blocks tumors from

forming and increases sperm mobility and reproductive functioning. Boosts nitric oxide (NO) for circulation and sexual function in men AND women. Controls degeneration of body cells. Do not take if you have Herpes virus or schizophrenia. Sources of Arginine- nuts, peanut butter, alfalfa sprouts, beets, carrots, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, parsnips, potatoes, turnips

BRANCH CHAIN AMINO ACIDS- (BCAAs)LeucineIsoleucineValine ( must be taken together in balanced proportion) converts to ATP > energy and muscle metabolism. Great for rebuilding and repairing the body's tissues. Great for anorexics.

CHROMIUM- is a safe way to convert body fat to muscle. For dieters, it curbs appetite and raises metabolism. Nutritional Yeast, honey, whole grains, grapes, raisins.

CHROMIUM PICOLINATE- combination of chromium and picolinic acid, a substance secreted by the liver and kidneys. Picolinic acid is the world's best mineral transporter. It helps build muscles without steroid side effects. 200mcg daily.

CLA- CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID- an essential fatty acid- CLA converts the most energy from the least amount of food making it popular among athletes, increasing muscle mass and burning fat. Inhibits body fat storage by increasing the use of fat reserves for energy. As other fatty acids, CLA has powerful antioxidants for immunity and shows remarkable results in lowering cholesterol. Found in stuff like coconut oil and raw butter

CREATINE- (not highly recommended because of kidney issues) (methyl guanidine-acetic acid) is made naturally in the human liver as creatine phosphate. It is formed when the amino acids arginine, methionine and glycine combine in body (also found in red meat and fish) Creatine Monohydrate is used by bodybuilders to get bigger and have more stamina. It creates an electrolyte imbalance... it pulls water from other parts of the body and forces muscles to retain too much water, leading to dehydration and possible kidney problems. Drink lots of water if using this stuff and do NOT mix with fruit juice or it turns into creatinine, a metabolic waste product , and definitely do not mix with caffeine. Creatine is a phosphorus donor, which helps in the regeneration of ADP in to ATP. Although the average person gets way more than enough phosphorus in their diets. And too much phosphorus will lead to a breakdown of bone tissue. I have also heard that creatine does not do much for muscle development, but rather it makes the muscles look larger due to its ability to retain water. Beyond that there is very little known about its safety. There is some concern that it can lead to muscle cramping and even kidney damage. I don’t recommend using this stuff.

CARNITINE- amino acid made in the liver and kidney, found mainly in meat (hence the name). It burns away fat to produce energy. If you're low in carnitine, you are tired

a lot, gain weight, have high cholesterol and a weakened heart. Helps prevent heart disease for people obsessed with eating meat. Prevents fatty build up in heart. Good for the gym to prevent muscle damage and delay lactate burn. May help patients with kidney failure who are on dialysis. Carnitine also specifically helps male infertility (increases sperm count and mobility)

LYSINE- essential amino acid- good for skin collagen, hormones, enzymes, osteoporosis, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, hypothyroidism, and is the primary treatment for herpes virus. Can be used topically or internally. Helps rebuild muscle and repair tissue after injury, surgery or working out. Important for calcium absorption for healthy bones.

ORNITHINE- a free-radical scavenging amino acid that works w arginine and carnitine to burn fat, produce growth hormone, build muscle, repair tissue, build immune strength, aid endurance, helps the liver metabolize fat

TAURINE is an amino acid that's also essential to maintaining vigorous muscle function.

TYROSINE- builds adrenaline and thyroid stores. Increases libido. A growth hormone stimulant. Quick brain energy.

GINSENG **** (see Ginseng)

NUTRITIONAL YEAST- one of the best sources of B-complex, high in minerals, protein, all the essential amino acids, and nucleic acid. at least 2 heaping tablespoons daily for energy boost. Put on your salads or over any food. Tastes kinda like cheese

PHOSPHORUS- the second most abundant body mineral, phosphorus increases muscle performance, brain oxygenation and cell reproduction. Antacids rob us of phosphorus.

RIBOSE- a simple sugar needed for ATP energy for heart and muscles. Great for people who use oxygen faster than the bloodstream can provide. (people w heart issues etc)

SULPHUR- is critical to protein absorption. eggs, fish, onions, garlic, hot peppers and mustard. Pine needles are also a great source

Note: Arginine taken w yohimbe 100-300 mg might cause anxiety and elevated body temp and blood pressure

Ocetylcholine increases blood flow

Ginkgo Biloba is a circulatory stimulant with energizing effects for body motion and thought activity, improves athletic performancequick results- a great start for any day

ANTHOCYANIDINSflavonoids found in red wine, grape juice and grapes, blackberries, cherries, cranberries, blueberries(the richest food source), raspberries, billberries, white pine and hawthorn herb. They strengthen connective tissue like skin, tendons, ligaments, and bone matrix. A very good choice for athletes who experience excessive free radical damage to connective tissue.

Many people talk about DHEA, but it may cause pimples, hair loss, facial hair, irritability. It causes liver cancer in rats. It has a molecular structure very similar to cortisone which was also considered a wonder drug until it was discovered it was maiming and killing people. If you take DHEA, take only a few days per month. When you do you'll probably have funky body reactions like night sweats and acne and become aggressive and irritable.

HEMP SEED PROTEIN and OIL- lots of EFA, Udos Oil is great too

L Glutamine 5 mg right after workout

PROTEIN- nuts, seeds, nutritional yeast other plant sources. Stephen Arlin says protein is not very important in muscle building. Raw plant fats are the major role- they are easily assimilated and gentle to the body. They lubricate the digestive tract and provide protection to the wall of each cell. Arlin also emphasizes that one will begin gaining muscles (with raw food) only after general cleansing of the body is complete. Some sources of protein are blended green leafy vegetables, pumpkin seeds, superfood, bee pollen, bee propolis, nuts, seeds. (see protein section later in this report)

MACAAthletes started using Maca as an aletrnative to anabolic steroids for increasing strength, energy and stamina. Unlike steroids and and some energy boosting herbs, maca does not contain harmful stimulants and is not addictive. Maca root contains significant amounts of amino acids, complex carbohydrates, vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium and iron.Due to the number of steroidal glycosides present in Maca root it is a great natural alternative to steroids for serious weight lifters and body builders.

Durian- tryptphan, Durians are an awesome source of protein for muscle building

ABS- consciously tuck/pull in your stomach throughout the day.

SUNLIGHT helps muscles grow- expose gentials for testosterone

Weight gain salad- kale, tomatoes, macadamia nuts

Avocado- for skinny people with dry skin,

Juice- kale, celery, cucumber

With raw you don't grow as quickly. It's a slower process but the muscle has a different quality to it. It lasts longer and doesn't turn to flab as fast.Vegetarian animals are bigger, live longer and have more endurance than carnivores.

CELERY- is one of the most underrated and most beneficial vegetables of all. It's one of the best sources of potassium, sodium and sulfur the three most needed minerals in the human body. Also vitamins A,B,C. Natural diuretic, laxative and discourages water retention, greatly improving appearance. It is a great source of natural water for hydration. Instead of drinking water (especially after the gym), drink celery juice instead. Water retention is a sign of being dehydrated believe it or not.

AFTER WORKOUT TO REHYDRATE:

Celery, kale, cucumber, lemonor celery, carrot, wheatgrass

BLEND FOOD- more green and fat, less sweet fruit, add more superfood, maca, hemp. Non sweet fruits ok. Fats alone wont increase weight- greens need to be added.

MACA (a south American root) is a great natural alternative to steroids for serious weight lifters and body builders.

GOJI BERRIES- protein, superfood, produces HGH

All that lifting is uses up your CALCIUM, ZINC AND SELENIUM, which is necessary to peform in bed. Take extra.

Chlorella- AMAZING STUFF- 62% amino acid content Is considered one of the most complete foods on the planet- you can live off this stuff indefinitely. It has ALL the amino acids (a complete protein) - more than any whole food on Earth, plus all kinds of minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and pretty much everything else....Beta carotene (vit A), C, E, K, B complex B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, RNA, DNA, folic acid, biotin, choline, and inositol. Phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, germanium, sulfur, iron, calcium, manganese, copper, zinc, iodine, cobalt, and trace elements It replicates so fast it quadruples every twenty-four hours. (amazing

genetics) It also quadruples our friendly flora (probiotics) making it one of the most potent 'growth factors' available. (listen up bodybuilders). It boosts the immune system immensely (helps children grow and stay healthy), helps digestion, alkalizes, heals intestinal lining, helps remove chemicals, toxins and heavy metals from the body.

Ashwagandha- stress/energy/well beingOne of the world’s most renowned herbs, Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb from India in the pepper family, known as the ""Indian ginseng", provides energy and a rejuvenating lift while at the same time calming and soothing the nerves.

Chemically, it's very similar to ginseng, yet seems to be superior in relieving stress. Great for treating exhaustion caused by both physical and mental strain, including stress-related ulcers and nervous exhaustion. It helps boost thyroid hormone and adrenals to prevent stress-caused thyroid burnout.

Ashwagandha is a great aphrodisiac, increasing libido and performance in 70% of men who use it.

It has an estrogen-like effect that stops internal bleeding, excessive uterine bleeding, hemorrhoids and also hemorrhagic dysentery (bloody diarrhea). Also helps depression (great for women)

Ashwagandha rejuvenates and helps nourish the tissues, particularly muscle and bone, adrenals and reproductive system.

For fatigue, chronic disease, impotence, memory, arthritic inflammation, rheumatic pain, anxiety, insomnia, respiratory disorders, nervous disorders, gynecological disorders, uterine infections, male infertility, impotence, nerve impulses, sex- enhancing, erectile dysfunction, female and male fertility, inflammation, cancer, increases hemoglobin, improves circulation, nutrient absorption, liver and kidney tonic, clears the mind, strengthens the nerves, and promotes restful sleep, improves memory, lessens graying of the hair, increases performance in athletes, balances hormones, hypertension, anti-aging

GINSENG- the most effective adaptogen of all herbs. Taking it for several months to a year is far more effective than short term doses. -aids cardiovascular disorders, including heart attack and heart disease, lowers high blood pressure

-inhibits growth and formation of liver cancer cells, one of the most difficult cancers to overcome -stimulates protein synthesis -ginseng polysaccharides protect against alcohol induced gastric ulcers. Good for anyone drinking liquor with a damaged stomach lining -hormone balance for both men and women- aphrodisiac for both men and women -only herb to clinically test as a plant source of testosterone -increases sperm count, seminal vesicle weight, -supports key adrenal and prostate functions -like viagra, Ginseng enhances nitric oxide (NO) synthesis which regulates muscle tone of blood vessels that control flow to the penis, leading to stronger erection for impotent men. Antioxidants help cardiovascular performance not only for sexual energy, but for sports workouts.

GINSENG- Women- helps normalize hormones, notably those that guard against breast cancer, endometriosis and hormone-driven problems. has an estrogen-like effect due to the similarity of ginsenocides and female steroidal hormones. It exerts an estrogen effect on the vaginal mucosa, to prevent thinning of vaginal walls after menopause, and menopause discomfort during intercourse. It affects a womans mental energy through hypothalamus stimulation, a factor in turning a woman's attention to love-making. Ginseng also has distinct, antioxidant cardiovascular benefits for women. -has an insulin-like effect on sugar regulation, stimulating sugar removal -anti-aging properties -therapeutic activity against severe recurrent viral infection and syndromes like HIV etc -stimulates killer cell activity -stimulates RNA synthesis in bone marrow cells, has anti-toxic effects against radiation, heavy metals, and airborne pollutants -protects against aging skin and early wrinkling -long term mental and psychological benefits. Elderly show clear improvement with mental outlook, depression, optimistic spirits and insomnia -memory, concentration, alertness and improved learning ability. helps Alzheimers -quintissential herb for stress

Barley grass- has more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more vit C than orange juice, and even has some B12. It has natural steroids with no side effects and lots of vitamins, minerals and trace minerals needed for the formation of bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Detoxifies the body, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant.One of the best sources of carbohydrate energy. take a bunch before going to gym.

BEE POLLEN-is nature's most complete superfood with all 22 amino acids, full of enzymes, coenzymes, B12, B vitamins, fats, minerals, vitamins, etc. It has every known nutrient known that our bodies need. What is it? It's collected by bees from flowers, mixed w bee spit, then formed into granules. It’s great for energy and healing. Bee foods have been praised in almost every religion throughout history. It's in the bible. It rejuvenates the body and lengthens life. bee keepers in Russia regularly live past 100.

It increases energy. World class athletes use it. If you're allergic to pollen or spores, try local bee pollen. It relieves respiratory problems like bronchitis, sinustis and colds. It helps balance the hormones, which helps menstrual and reproductive health (including libido) and is very effective for prostate problems and reducing BPH inflammation and improving urine flow. Bee pollen is rich in enzymes, helps constipation-diarrhea problems,helps fight aging, increases brain power and physical strength. It has 15% lecithin, which supports nervous system and brain, and even has high levels of nucleic acid which helps protect against radiation. Get only LOCAL bee pollen if you can (helps avoid allergic reactions and is also fresher) Ttart with a few grains, then slowly work your way up to a couple of teaspoons on your salad or in smoothies.

UMEBOSHI PLUMS- high levels of citric acid which helps break down lactic acid and cleanse the body, also good for fighting fatigue and slowing down aging

INOSINE- amino acid for ATP energy, helps muscle endurance. Take on empty stomach with an electrolyre drink before exercise.

Homeopathic- NATRUM PHOS- sodium phosphate- regulates pH balance. Imbalance indicated by coated tongue, itchy skin, sour stomach, loss of apetite, diarrhea and flatulence. helps metabolize lactic acid and emulsify fats.

FULVIC ACIDFulvic Acids, Shilajit and Plankton.(obtained from an organic prehistoric goo oozing from Himalayan rocks) As the most powerful, natural electrolyte known, fulvic acid  restores electrical balance to damaged cells, neutralizes toxins and can eliminate food poisoning within minutes. When it encounters free radicals with unpaired positive or negative electrons, and it supplies an equal and opposite charge to neutralize the free radical. Fulvic acid makes minerals bioactive, bioavailable, and organic. so for example, it helps the body absorb calcium better which means accelerated bone growth and new tissue regeneration for people with osteo problems. Mineral deficiency subjects us to more diseases, aging, sickness and destruction of our physical well-being than any other factor in personal health. Minerals in their natural "rock" state are useless to us, but once a plant absorbs and transforms them, our body can utilize the now "organic minerals. Organic fulvic acids are created by micro-organisms in the soil, for the purpose of transporting minerals and nutrients from the soil into the plant. Fulvic Acid chelates and prepares the minerals to be accepted and used by our cells. At the same time it also seems to dissolve away years of calcified accumulations in our body, joints, arteries and muscles, making us more flexible, limber and youthful again. Fulvic acid is a powerl antioxidant that can safely neutralize a free radical without becoming a free radical itself, AND has the added benefit of being able to cross the blood-brain barrier !

Fulvic Acid/Shilajit increases the core energy responsible for sexual and spiritual power the same force that is withered by stress and anxiety. The use of Shilajit is for renewing vitality. Its Sanskrit meaning is 'conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness.' People that have taken it claim it does wonders for more energy, relieve digestive problems, increase sex drive, urinary problems, diabetes, Anti-oxidant, Anti-inflammatory, edema, anemia, Arthritis, joint problems, lowers cholesterol, improve memory and cognition, improve diabetes, reduce allergies, handle stress better, improve the quality and quantity of life and it seemed to cure all diseases.

CARNOSINECarnosine extends the life of every cell in your body. -anti-aging-skin, wrinkles-alzheimers-nerves-heart diseasebodybuilding- prevents muscle fatigue, helps hold water

Carnosine is a natural amino-acid with a number of interesting actions. It is a potent anti-oxidant that prevents cell damage and improves cell function. It helps chelate ionic metals (flush toxins from the body), it has immune boosting properties, it is known to reduce and prevent cell damage caused by beta amyloid (the substance found in the brain of Alzheimer disease patients)

Carnosine helps to prevent glycosylation - the cross linking of proteins and DNA molecules caused by sugar aldehydes reacting with the amino acids on the protein molecule and creating Advance Glycosylation End-products (AGE's). Cross linking is the effect that occurs when you cut an apple in half and it gradually turns yellow. Such anti-glycosylation may be beneficial for diabetes, cataracts, neuropathy, kidney failure and skin conditions, as well as more general anti-aging properties, especially improving skin condition.

In 1999, Australian researchers confirmed that Carnosine increases the longevity of human fibroblast cells in the laboratory. Carnosine extended the Hayflick limit (the maximum number of times a cell can divide) from 50 to up to an additional 10 times. It has also been shown that animals with higher levels of Carnosine appear to live longer. Although research is still taking place in this area, Carnosine may become a common supplement for longevity.

The Russian's use carnosine in an eye-drop form to help eradicate senile cataract problems with great success. This type of carnosine eye-drop may have very important anti-aging eye functions because it is breaking protein cross-links, not just inhibiting them. It is important to note however, that the Russians have been using a 'special' kind of carnosine known as N-alpha acetylcarnosine or NAC for this purpose.

CARNOSINE FOR SPORTS

Another very interesting aspect to carnosine is its ability to help block the accumulation of lactic acid. Lactic acid is the substance that literally triggers the pain in muscles after periods of intensive exercise. Carnosine when taken before and after exercise can therefore reduce and often even eliminate this aching pain.

Carnosine may also act as a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger in the nervous system). Carnosine has been called a longevity nutrient since laboratory studies on tissues indicate that it can delay senescence and provoke cellular rejuvenation in cultured human fibroblasts. Carnosine has been called the anti-aging and anti-oxidant dipeptide.

Proteins are the building blocks of life. Comprising amino acid chains, proteins serve both structural and functional roles within the human body. Structural proteins such as collagen give support to bones, tendons, and skin, while functional proteins known as enzymes catalyze life-sustaining biochemical reactions throughout the body. As we age, however, these critical proteins are endangered by the damaging process known as glycation. Defined as a non-enzymatic reaction between proteins and sugars, glycation irreversibly alters the configuration of proteins. These altered proteins, known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs), can no longer effectively fulfill their critical roles throughout the body. AGEs have been implicated in many of the diseases associated with aging, including Alzheimer’s, cancer, and heart disease.

Fortunately, carnosine helps defend the body’s proteins against the crippling effects of glycation. By preventing the formation of dangerous AGEs, carnosine may help the body’s proteins retain their youthful vigor and function.

Carnosine is a safe, well-tolerated compound comprising the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine. Naturally present in high concentrations in human brain and skeletal muscle tissue, carnosine has been shown in multiple studies to inhibit lipid peroxidation and free radical-induced cellular damage. Additional evidence suggests that carnosine may help protect the brain against oxygen deprivation, delay the impairment of eyesight with aging, and extend the life span of mammals. Scientists have postulated that carnosine may have applications in the management of numerous conditions, including arthritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, high blood pressure, adrenal cortical dysfunction, sleep apnea, chronic inflammation, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.________________

(THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS TAKEN FROM THE MAIN DIET AND LIFESTYLE BOOK “HEAL YOURSELF 101”)

MEAT and PROTEINThe longest living animals on the planet are non-meat eaters.

People don't get cancer from plant protein

Meat vs. Plant protein- *THE CHINA STUDY*The China Study is the largest comprehensive study ever done...Cornell and Oxford University researched the effects of ingesting meat versus plant food on 650,000 people in Indonesia in 26 provinces over the course of 22 years. One group of people was fed meat while the other group was fed only plant foods. The group that was fed meat developed cancer while the group that was fed raw plant foods stayed healthy. Then the foods were switched on them and the people who had cancer were fed raw plant foods and they got healthy again! The healthy group that was fed meat got cancer! This was replicated 50 times over the course of 22 years!!! : www.TheChinaStudy.comThe China Study (the book)

It's important to know that the body makes protein from AMINO ACIDS. It cannot take animal protein and simply plug it into our cells- our body has to break down meat into a liquid state (that's a LOT of work!), and then break it way down to basic amino acid molecules... then reassemble them into HUMAN form protein bonds that only a human body can use. This takes a lot of energy and time and is an inefficient way of getting protein. Add to that the fact that animal products (including dairy) makes our body acidic and also are filled with hormones, antibiotics, steroids and raised on cheap unhealthy animal feed. Even if the animal was raised organic, it's natural hormones are not meant for human use. A cow has hormones that make it grow fast to weigh thousands of pounds. When we eat this, it makes things in US grow fast- like cancer. Animal products are a foreign protein and foreign proteins are the base for most disease in the human body. Add to that the alien fast-growing hormones and you have a recipe for disaster. Consumption of strange undigestable proteins and runaway sugars may be among the causes of most disease.

Organic vegetable protein does not have uric acid to clog your arteries like meat does.

The kidneys of the meat eater must work three times harder than the kidneys of the vegetarian.

HEALTHY NON-MEAT SOURCES OF PROTEIN:First- do NOT take Whey or Soy !!! Both are bad for you. Whey is dairy. Soy is toxic.

Where do horses, apes, elephants, buffalo etc get their protein and muscles from ?

Grass and Greens. There is some serious power in that green stuff. Since we are lazy and don't CHEW our food like a horse or cow does, the best way for humans to get the most out greens is to throw the stuff in a blender. BZZZT- instantly digested and all the cellulose broken apart for us. (Vitamix is the best blender) The wild chimpanzee diet is probably the closest thing to what we should be eating, and Victoria Boutenko wrote a book about it "Green for Life". Basically, chimps eat mainly half fruit and half green stuff. They eat a few seeds, avoid nuts and only eat roots when there is nothing else to eat ( for us that would be carrots, beets, turnips, etc)SO- bottom line- you can get your protein from a blender drink of strawberries and Kale, or banana and Romaine, or mango and spinach etc. (see blender ideas later in book)

The truth is that the body can only utilize around 90 grams (roughly 3 ounces) of protein daily. Even extreme athletes only require a little over 100 grams of protein a day. Any excess is broken down and eliminated as urea.

Too much protein is not only useless to us, but harmful. All that extra protein the body can’t handle must be broken down before elimination. Amino acids are based with ammonia, which is very toxic to the body. To prevent poisoning from the ammonia the body first converts the excess ammonia in to uric acid. Uric acid forms very sharp crystals that can lodge in joints leading to a very painful form of arthritis called gout in some cases. A second possible problem is damage to the kidneys. In order to eliminate the uric acid it must be hydrolyzed with water to form urea, which is passed off in urine. If the crystals are not completely hydrolyzed though, the uric acid crystals can pass through the kidneys in their crystalline form. These crystals are extremely sharp and is like running glass shards through the kidneys. Therefore, the uric acid crystals can cut up the kidneys leading to kidney damage or failure. This is why it is so important to make sure you are drinking plenty of water when using protein supplements or for people on high protein, low carbohydrate diets.

That said, here is a list of stuff that's really high in protein...

CHLORELLA - 62% amino acid content (I know I’m repeating this but it’s worth it!)(an algae) is considered one of the most complete foods on the planet- you can live off this stuff indefinitely. It has ALL the amino acids (a complete protein) - more than any whole food on Earth, plus all kinds of minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and pretty much everything else....Beta carotene (vit A), C, E, K, B complex B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, RNA, DNA, folic acid, biotin, choline, and inositol. Phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, germanium, sulfur, iron, calcium, manganese, copper, zinc, iodine, cobalt, and trace elements It replicates so fast it quadruples every twenty-four hours. (amazing genetics) It also quadruples our friendly flora (probiotics) making it one of the most potent 'growth factors' available. (listen up bodybuilders). It boosts the immune system immensely (helps children grow and stay healthy), helps digestion, alkalizes, heals intestinal lining, helps remove chemicals, toxins and heavy metals from the body. It enhances health and muscle growth, Increases the concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells(for iron and oxygen), helps reduce cholesterol, and helps the liver detox.

Best taken on an empty stomach at least 20 minutes before other food.

NUTRITIONAL YEAST- (not the same as Candida Albicans yeast) has all the essential amino acids, and nucleic acid- vital for proper cell development. A great source of B vitamins, high in minerals, protein, helps the liver breaks down fats (good for acne and skin problems) A good source of glutathione which boosts immune response and cleansing. It's chromium triggers insulin action(good for diabetes). Neutralizes bowel irritation, soothes inflammation and restores normal bowel movements. Great immune enhancing properties. Good for energy. Put a couple tablespoons in water or smoothie or on salad every day.

SEA VEGETABLES- (at least 50% protein) can compete head to head with animal proteins and are much more assimilable. Sea greens have more minerals than anything else on the planet. They are also the best source of iodine- needed for healthy thyroid. Examples- KELP, Kombu, Arame, Wakame, Nori, Dulse Put in smoothies, soups, salads or make entire meals out of them. Eat every day

BEE POLLEN (probably the best of all high protein foods)-water test- sinks is good, floats is rancid

TOCOTRIENOLS***-(rice bran solubles) If you're going to do protein powder, this is a good one. This is also the very best source of serious vitamin E and B complex. Take this instead of Whey or Soy.

QUINOA- gluten-free Incan supergrain with complete protein from amino acids and complex carbohydrates. Soak and eat. Do not cook

ACAI BERRY has almost an identical protein and amino acid profile as that of an egg

DURIANS smell really bad but are worth it. They are a great source of protein- a favorite food of orangutans, elephants, tigers etc. They also have high levels of tryptophan (good for depression, insomnia) and raises brain serotonin levels (makes you feel good) You can get them in Asian markets. The frozen kind are not as smelly. Leave them in sink overnight to thaw.

HEMP SEEDS (30 grams of protein per tablespoon)A very popular source of protein in the health world. They contain all 9 essential amino acids and also contain omega3 and omega 6 and are heavily mineralized.

MESQUITE MEAL- used as staple food for centuries by desert dwellers. High protein, with good quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, lots of amino acid lysine with a sweet rich molasses-like flavor with a hint of caramel- blends well into smoothies, esp those made w cacao and maca.

EGGS (for those of you who want eggs)

Raw eggs contain strong enzyme inhibitors in the yolk membrane which requires extra enzymes from pancreas to digest. These enzyme inhibitors are destroyed by cooking. But eggs are acidic. One way around this is to poke a tiny hole in the yoke and suck out the contents into your mouth, leaving the yolk sac behind. (and the egg white). Egg white or yolk? Many of the new health leaders claim the yolk is the part to eat, not the white. This is an ageless back and forth controversy.

Protein Sources continued-

• Propolis (bee product)• seeds• NUTS• olives• durian• green vegetables like spinach, watercress, arugula, kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts,

collard greens and parsley• grasses- wheatgrass, alfalfa, barley• Blue Green Algae• Chlorella• Spirulina• Maca• Pumpkin seeds• Almonds• Brazil nuts- contain selenium• Sprouted grains• Sprouted wild rice• Sprouts of all types

With all seeds and nuts, soak them before eating to dissolve away the enzyme inhibitor coating (making them easier to digest). Overnight is best. Soak at least a few hours. Seeds are better than nuts.

A NOTE ON THE AMINO ACID ARGININE and HERPESIf you have Herpes, beware- the amino acid arginine aggravates the condition. So if you are a protein freak, be warned. You are feeding your herpes if you have it. During outbreaks, avoid arginine foods like chocolate, nuts, seeds, coconut, and stay away from wheat, corn, soy, rice, tomatoes and citrus.

FASTING ACTUALLY HELPS- Studies performed at Cornell University show when a person fasts for 24 hours the body doesn't lose any protein- only fat. Bodybuilders who fast one day a week actually gain more muscle mass faster because the body is cleaner and more efficient.

GROWTH HORMONEabout GROWTH HORMONE IGF-1- Natural cells have built-in limits to their growth, cancerous cells do not. IGF-1 is a growth hormone taken by bodybuilders or people trying to stay young, but end up getting all kinds of cancer, especially breast and prostate because the growth hormone makes EVERYTHING grow in the body, including the bad stuff. If you have even one cancer cell in your body, this stuff feeds it.

Side effects of synthetic HGH include diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, painful joints, severe fluid retention, Animal studies show SHORTER life span, not longer.

Secretagogues are a safer alternative using amino acids, but Arginine (the primary Amino acid in the formulas) needs to be balanced with lysine or herpes outbreaks can happen. Take secretogues, such as L-glutamine, melatonin, and iodine from seaweed and kelp.

Homeopathic HGH sprays are also available, but remember, there is no easy fix. Your body needs to be CLEAN and free of toxins or else hormones won't be produced properly.

Chlorella contains a natural growth hormone

THINGS THAT HELP

When working out, do “compact” exercises several times a week like squats, dead-lifts- these make your body produce more natural testosterone for muscles. This is your “natural steroid”. Your bottom half pumps up your upper half. This is very important.

• FASTING increases production of growth hormone- it revitalizes the glands• Maca• weight training• fulvic acid(shilajit)• A good source of natural vegan protein (amino acids) is essential• especially- arginine, lysine, glutamine, tyrosine, glycine, ornithine • Take niacin with amino acids to boost effect• Gotu Kola• Wild Yam• Goiji berries• magnesium

• chlorophyll-rich (green) foods enhances adrenal activity and steroid balance• acupuncture• dance•HERBS THAT STIMULATE HGH PRODUCTION

• Bupleurum• magnolia bark• cacao

all raise dopamine levels which in turn stimulate the production and secretion of HGH

TYROSINE- builds adrenaline and thyroid fuel. Increases libido. A growth hormone stimulant. Good for energy and brain fuel

GLYCINE- releases growth hormone, formation of muscle fiber, formation of cartilage, regulation of sex hormones. Found in alfalfa, sprouts, almonds, carrots, celery, okra, oranges, potatoes, pomegranates, raspberries, turnips, watermelons

ORNITHINE- free-radical scavenging amino acid that works w arginine and carnitine to burn away fat, and helps the pituitary gland produce growth hormone, muscle development, tissue repair and endurance. Helps the liver metabolize fat.

Growth hormone levels go up when insulin levels go down- about 4 hours after a meal. The largest burst of GH is during the early hours of sleep- therefore it's crucial we don't eat 4 hours before going to sleep to maximize this nightime secretion. By avoiding food during the last 4 hours before bedtime we may enhance circadian growth hormone release and fat burning potential.-Tanya Zavasta

Ground Flaxseed (grind 2 tablespoons in coffee grinder and add daily to salads, smoothies etc)- contain rich healthy fatty acids (omega 3,6,9) that are needed for the human body to function. It also provides soluble fiber and is high in lignans, which are hormone-like substances known to balance hormone levels.

HORMONES AND TESTOSTERONEHormone replacement therapy is not health.

Your body needs to be able to make it's own. If it can't, something is wrong. if your body isn't balanced and healthy, the hormones are the first to go. This is natures way of making sure the sick and weak don't reproduce. Don't be one of them !

TESTOSTERONE - Key male hormone for energy, strength, muscle growth, and sexuality, but needed for womens sexuality too.

Signs of low levels include low energy, impotence and prostate problems.

Don't think of going to the doctor and simply getting testosterone shots to increase your sex drive unless you want prostate cancer (a nasty side effect). The reason you aren't getting that magic anymore is because hormones (Adrenal, Endocrine system) are the first to suffer when your body is out of balance and run down from improper diet, impacted colon and liver and stress.

First of all- no alcohol or smoking

Do the cleanse, diet and lifestyle changes mentioned the main book HEAL YOURSELF 101.

THINGS THAT HELP TESTOSTERONE AND HORMONES

• GINSENG AND ASHWAGANDHA- the most effective adaptogens of all herbs. Sasaparilla

• Smilax• Saw Palmetto• Cordyceps• Rhaponticum carthamoides (Maral Root)• green superfoods- especially chlorella• EFA oils • licorice root• -Geranium(helps regulate endocrine and hormone balance)• Rose (Damask) essential oil• Jasmine (essential oil)• red raspberry tea• Royal Jelly

Low on hormones? I'll bet you're not getting enough exercise. Probably not even walking very much. Get moving NOW !!!EXERCISE ! There is no replacement. The more you exercise, the better your libidoreduce caffeine and sugar

Do a LIVER CLEANSE (See LIVER ebook ) it processes estrogens and can prevent fibroids

TYROSINE- builds adrenaline and thyroid hormones, good energy source for for the brain to fight depression and hypertension. Increases libido and stimulates growth hormone.

CRUCIFEROUS VEGGIES LIKE BROCCOLI, CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER contain DIM (di-indolylmethane) a plant indole good for hormones

EFAS help metabolize, balance excess estrogen

SEA GREENS- eat them every day- they assist the adrenal glands in producing steroidal hormones like estrogen and DHEA

Testosterone therapy to increase sex drive can stimulate prostate cancer.Do not take grapefruit if taking estrogen drugs

Women on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) have a noticeable increased risk of heart attacks and heart disease.

Estrogen contracceptive pills also increase heart disease, heart attacks, stroke, and create serious blood clotting problems.

SERMs (Selective estrogen receptor modulators) can lead to dangerous blood clots in the legs, heart, lungs or eyes.

Soy and synthetic stuff puts bad estrogens in our bodies which really messes with our bodies-a lot of this comes from plastics, meat, dairy products. sugar , flour, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, steroid hormones and almost anything man-made.

Yohimbe worsens schizophrenia and anxiety

BURDOCK- a hormone balancer and strong liver purifier

CATS CLAW - (una de gato) is rich in antioxidant polyphenols and several plant steroids like beta -sitosterol. It's good for hormone imbalances like swollen prostates and PMS. It has a multitude of other amazing benefits- read about it in the glossary.

INDIUM-rare mineral that radically increases mineral absorption, which increases pituitary, thyroid and endocrine hormones. Indium is very effective in balancing hormones and nourishing glands. Some reports say it also reduces grey hair and baldness !

MACA- rainforest root powder that enhances libido. For men, maca rejuvenates energy and performance. For women, it stimulates the thyroid, pituitary and ovaries which restores libido and can even lead to multiple orgasms. Lab tests show it increases sexuality by an average of six times ! It's also been shown to raise estrogen levels in menopausal women by sometimes 70% !

ROYAL JELLY- has a sex hormone and all 8 essential amino acids. It's full of pantothenic acid which is good for stress, fatigue and insomnia. It balances hormones and glands which helps menstrual and prostate problems.

VITAMIN A- needed for the body to make adrenal and steroid hormones. It's fat soluble which means it must be taken with fats, some minerals like zinc and enzymes

VITAMIN B-3 (NIACIN)

RADISHES- balances hormones, great for thyroid

GET SUNLIGHT ! It boosts sex hormone production, lowers cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar (and increases endurance)

RED CLOVER - Contains 4 phytoestrogens, helps regulate hormone balance

ALFALFA- The most abundant source of phytoestrogens and nutrients

LICORICE ROOT- another high source of phytoestrogens- good for adrenal glands

Cholesterol- your body needs some because it's needed to make sex and adrenal hormones... that's why people taking cholesterol-lowering drugs also have lower sex drive. (or none)

FAST ! It revitalizes glands, normalizes hormones and increases growth hormone production.

Cut the sugar- it throws your hormones out of whack and suck vital nutrients from your body

GROUND FLAXSEED (grind 2 tablespoons in coffee grinder and add daily to salads, smoothies etc)- contain rich healthy fatty acids (omega 3,6,9) that are needed for the human body to function. It also provides soluble fiber and is high in lignans, which are hormone-like substances known to balance hormone levels.

STEROIDS (natural)If you're losing your umph and wondering why, hormone loss comes from eating meat, dairy products (milk and cheese) sugar, breads, flour, lack of sleep, lack of exercise and the biggest one of all- get ready- drum roll please... steroid hormones !!!

Pharmaceutical steroid drugs like hydrocortisone, cortisone, prednisone- puts bone health at risk and even end up giving you a round moon shaped face. They seriously damage the immune system and digestive system. But wait- that's not all. Cortisone creme goes right through the skin and spreads through the entire body like a virus. Other side effects of steroids and cremes include glaucoma, cataracts, bloating, (what gives bodybuilders a bloated stomach), headaches, skin problems, acne, hair loss, depression, weakened muscles and immune system complications.

What should you do ?

Aloe Vera

VITAMIN A- is critically needed for the body to make adrenal and steroid hormones so we can look young beautiful and strong. Vitamin A is fat soluble, meaning in order for it to be absorbed into the body, it requires some healthy fats or oils, like EFA oils, hemp, flax or chia.

VITAMIN B-5 (Pantothenic Acid)- antioxidant necessary for our body to make natural steroids. What robs our body of B5(other than a poor diet)? Stress. If you are in a messed up relationship and have a lot of psychological stress, then you need lots of B5. Sources- nutritional yeast, royal jelly, rice bran compex, wheat germ

LICORICE ROOT is a steroidal anti-inflammatory that stimulates the immune system

chlorophyll-rich (green) foods like wheatgrass, chlorella, kale, etc enhances adrenal activity and helps the body make natural steroids for a more youthful body.

BARLEY GRASS- has more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more vit C than orange juice, and even has some B12. It has natural steroids with no side effects and lots of vitamins, minerals and trace minerals needed for the formation of bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage.

LACTIC ACID-

Sulfur provides elasticity, movement, healing and repair within tissues. Sulfur reduces lactic acid buildup and has the ability to possibly eleiminate muscle, leg and back cramps. Adequate sulfur levels in the diet can increase recovery in athletes by 75%.. It

increases blood circulation and maintains acid-alkaline balance. Sources- GARLIC, ONIONS, PEPPERS, PINE NEEDLES.

NETTLE blocks lactic acid

YOHIMBEIt can raise blood pressure and damage the liver and kidneys. It’s best to avoid it altogether.

SULFUR- our body needs it as much as water. Sources are pine bark, pine needles, pine nuts, aloe vera, wild grasses, onions, garlic, peppers, arugula, watercress, radishes, eggs, durian etc. (basically smelly bitter stuff) Sulfur is in all living things and aids in the proper formation of proteins associated with connective tissues, hormones and antibodies. It's needed for the formation of collagen, which makes up over 30% of the protein in our body. Collagen is needed for skin integrity and elasticity. Sulfur is important for hormones, enzymes, antibodies, antioxidants, tissues and body proteins. It contributes to healthy hair, nails, skin softness and encourages repair of damaged skin by stimulating production on collagen. Sulfur does wonders for scar tissue by helping remove cross-linking in skin protein tissues- meaning it also helps with wrinkles. Sulfur is often used for muscle and joint pain stopping pain impulses before they reach the brain. It increases blood circulation and maintains acid-alkaline balance.It boosts both natural detoxificationIt boosts immunity by helping the body produce immunoglobulins (antibodies)Sulfur dissolves inorganic calcium from arteries, heart, lungs. Difficult internal and external scar tissue and burns can be broken down and repaired with sulfurIt increases the absorption of all food nutrients and supplements taken within 12 hours.

Sulfur causes fat to disperse in the bloodstream preventing fat from clumping in the blood. Sulfur plays a major role in bile fluid, the brain, connective tissue, hair, liver, nails and skinSulfur is the foundational mineral of all beauty… the best cosmetic in the worldSulfur regulates the sodium/potassium electrolyte balance in and out of the cell. This makes the cell more permeable and better able to drive nutrients into, and waste out of the cell.Sulfur helps relieve pain and inflammation by allowing waste products to be flushed out of the cell. Every time the body removes toxins from the cell, it also removes a sulfur compound that neutralizes the toxin. Therefore, sulfur is a vital mineral in the detoxification process.Four major amino acids- methionine, cysteine, cystine and taurine depend heavily on sulfur.It relieves constipationIt helps heal burns and scarsHypoglycemia is associated with a deficiency of sulfur at some levelSulfur provides elasticity, movement, healing and repair within tissues. Sulfur reduces lactic acid buildup and has the ability to possibly eliminate muscle, leg and back cramps. Adequate sulfur levels in the diet can increase recovery in athletes by 75%.Sulfur helps to alleviate pollen and food allergies. Sulfur neutralizes foreign proteins, such as pollen allergens very fast.Sulfur has been shown to reverse arthritic conditions by improving joint flexibility, reducing inflammation, reducing arthritic pain, and by breaking up scar tissueEat sulfur foods (garlic, onions, hot peppers, arugula) with fats (avocado, nuts, oil, seeds etc) to soften the harsh edge (spicy and fats go good together)

Rehmannia Root (Prepared)- Used in Chinese medicine to alleviate night sweats (hot flashes), palpitations, insomnia, constipation, menstrual irregularities, and to lower cholesterol. * Rehmannia is used widely to treat renal disorders and disorders of the adrenal glands. It is also one of the few herbs used to treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis noticed a vast improvement in joint pain and swelling after taking Rehmannia.

* Rehmannia is known to have anti-inflammatory properties which make it highly useful in treating asthma and skin diseases.

* Hormone deficiencies cause irregularities in the body such as menopause, impotence, and alopecia which can be regulated and controlled with the help of Rehmannia.

* Rehmannia protects the liver and lowers blood sugar. It also promotes blood clotting and reduces high blood pressure.

* Fevers caused by heating in the body, hot flashes during menopause, and extreme thirst can be cured with the help of Rehmannia. Some health practitioners consider it to be a refrigerant, which means that it helps the body cool down especially in the aftermath of a fever.

* One of the problems that occur due to menopause is osteoporosis, where women progressively lose bone strength. Studies have shown that the intake of Rehmannia controls bone loss to a great extent. It is also considered to enhance fertility.

Ancient Chinese texts describe it as a cure for broken bones by replenishing bone marrow and helping the growth of muscles.

PRICKLY PEAR CACTUSThis popular cactus is destined to be the next big herbal superstar. Each part of this plant functions as both food and medicine. It has been a staple in the diets of the people of the southwestern portion of the United States, the Middle East, parts of Europe and Africa, and Central and South America for hundreds of years. Scientific studies on the antiviral properties of the cactus show it being used to treat herpes, influenza, HIV, obesity, gastrointestinal disorders, and skin ailments. The fruit of the cactus—also known as the pulp or tuna—can be eaten much like other fruits. The pad is the source of many vitamins and minerals. The flowers, which grow from the fruit, are used as herbs. The fruit is packed with co-factors that boost immunity. It contains significant portions of the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It also contains a large proportion of antioxidant compounds, including flavonoids, that help protect against cancer and are chiefly responsible for protecting the body against the oxidation of cholesterol, the fruit is high in vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene and also vitamin C.Amino Acids- PROTEIN !The pads also contain a full range of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, including the eight essential amino acids not manufactured by the body. The benefits of amino acid consumption are far-reaching, as protein is involved in multiple chemical interactions within the body. It is extremely rare that a plant source provides such a high and broad composition of amino acids as the prickly pear. Its utility as a nutritional, high-fiber, low-fat food is amplified by this unique and exquisite amino acid profile. Vegans and vegetarians who rely on legumes such as soybeans and peas to fulfill their protein requirements will find in the nopal pads a high-quality source of protein.perhaps the most important component in the cactus is its dietary soluble fiber, which comes especially in the mucilage and pectin.1 Mucilage is the sticky juice that oozes from the pad when it is sliced. In medical circles, this sticky substance is referred to as mucilaginous polysaccharide. Interestingly, the polysaccharides are the primary active ingredient of other popular immune-stimulating herbs such as aloe vera, echinacea, astragalus, and Oriental mushrooms.Prickly Pear cactus for diabetesOther recent medical studies on the prickly pear cactus pads have explored and verified their use as an “antidiabetic” remedy. Studies published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology and Diabetes Care have documented the effectiveness of prickly pear pad use in the treatment of individuals with type II diabetes. Results of the studies have yielded strong positive results showing a noticeable hypoglycemic effect in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

SUNLIGHT-Sunlight is not the problem; the problem is sunburn. Sunburns only happen from excessive and inconsistent exposure to sunlight, like when your body is not used to it.

A Swiss study concluded that five of the most common ingredients in sun screens cause cancer. The more sun screen you use, the higher your chances of getting skin cancer.

Sunlight is very alkalizing to the body. 30 minutes a day minimum.

If you are sick one of the things you must do is go out in the sun. The sun itself can virtually cure disease. Every living thing on the planet, with rare exception cannot live without solar energy from the sun. Without sunlight, you develop diseases, including depression, lack of energy, poor sleep, poor digestion, weight gain, arthritis, constipation, bad breath, body odor, cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, ADD, stress, headaches, susceptibility to colds, flus and viral infections, PMS, male erctile dysfunction, loss of sexual desire in women, anxiety and more.

Sunlight lowers cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. It also increases endurance, aids sex hormone production and builds the body's resistance to infection.

During exercise, the skin temperature rises. This increase boosts up the production of collagen, which is essential in keeping the skin's youthful tone and texture.

The same elements that protect leaves from sunlight protect you from UV

Without sunlight, the bones cannot become calcified. Sunlight builds the immune system and increases oxygenation of the skin. It lowers blood sugar. Sunlight brings more blood to the skin surface which helps heal cuts, bruises and rashes. Open wounds and broken bones heal faster in sunlight. Sunlight improves eyesight and hormones. The best UV protection is inner protection- from the food you eat. Get at least 30 minutes of sunlight each day. There is no mistake in nature. We need sunlight.

-makes bones denser and muscles stronger-richer blood-healthier nerves-vitamin D which assists the mineralizing of bones, is formed when skin is exposed to sunlight-sunlight increases the amount of iron in the blood (gives tanned look)-USA cancer rates are highest in states with least sunshine-sunshine may reduce breast cancer by up to 40% and ovarian cancer by 80%-sunlight raises the mood-direct exposure kills most forms of mold, fungus and yeast

-normalizes hormone levels

Sunlight helps muscles grow- expose gentials for testosterone

Sunlight helps heal eyes- look at sunsets and sunrise

Natural Sun Protection

It's long been known that apple peel contains high concentrations of special antioxidant compounds called phenols that may assist in the prevention of a number of chronic diseases. Now it appears that the phenols in the skin of certain cultivars of apples may provide a hefty dose of UV-B protection, according to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Botany. Researchers evaluated both Granny Smith and Braeburn apples, with Braeburns being the clear winner in terms of their ability to accumulate UV-B protective quercitin glycosides in their sun-exposed skin. Sun-kissed Braeburns were resistant to high doses of UV-B radiation (up to 97kJ m-2). Next time you plan to spend time in the sun yourself, start your day with a Braeburn apple or bring one or two along for lunch and snacks.

(VITAMIN D IN SUNLIGHT) a critical fat soluble vitamin, D works with A to utilize calcium and phosphorus in building bones and teeth. Although we call it a vitamin, D is really a hormone produced in the skin from sunlight. Cholesterol compounds in the skin convert to a vitamin D precurser when exposed to V radiation. 20 minutes a day or early morning sunshine make a real difference to your body's vitamin D stores, especially if you are at risk for osteoporosis. Vit D helps in all eye problems including spots, conjunctivitis and glaucoma. Helps protect against colon cancer. Deficiency results in nearsightedness, psoriasis, soft teeth, muscle cramps and tics, slow healing, insomnia, nosebleeds, fast heartbeat, muscle pain, gum disease, seizures, fertility, asthma, cystic fibrosis, migraines, depression alzheimers, schizophrenia. If you want to control Asthma- vitamin DThat's why it works so well on cancer- lots of people die of cancer because they dont take enough vit D(sources other than sunlight- cod liver oil, yogurt, butter, herring, halibut, salmon, tuna, eggs) dried mushroom

Tuberculosis- sunlight treats TB- someone got a nobel prize for itit doesn't work if sunlight comes through windowswindows filter out UV B which our bodies need to produce vit Dbut windows let UV A through which causes cancer

vit D2 doesn't work- made from plantsvit D3- made from animal source- created when sunlight hits sheep wool- activates the lanolin-

Vit D is a powerful epigenetic influence - regulates over 2000-3000 genes- shutting them down or turning them on- that's why it worked on so many different diseases. This

is why people feel better when in sunlight. It directly affects our mind which in turn affects our genes and cells. This has been scientifically proven.

For every person who dies from skin cancer from excess UV, more than 200 die from all cancers due to insufficient UV

sunscreen is like windows- let UVA through but block UVB- prevents body from producing vit D and promotes cancer- sunscreens actually cause more photoaging- increases skin cancer and melanoma 18X

ONCE AGAIN- IF YOU WANT TO ABSORB NUTRIENTS AND BECOME A MORE EFFICIENT MACHINE... THIS ONE SUBJECT COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE-

GUT MICROBES****** The living secretOne of the most important secrets to our health is having proper levels of probiotics in our body. These are the "good" bacteria that help fight digest our food and fight the "bad" bacteria like Candida Albicans, a nasty aggressive yeast that turns into fungus and eats up our body. When people eat sugar, bread, pasta or anything made with flour or grains, they feed the candida yeast which then grows and overpowers our good helpful bacteria, leading to almost any health problem you can imagine, ranging from digestive issues like ulcers, colitis, IBS, stomach and colon cancer, to lung problems, energy and reproductive problems and even serious personality issues like autism, ADD, bi-polar, schizophrenia, depression, dyslexia, dysparxia and more. Many people have literally reversed these conditions by stopping the consumption of all grains and starchy carbs, along with the cleansing program outlined in my book Heal Yourself 101. The "bad" microbes make you crave those foods so they can grow and thrive. Food cravings are often times worse than drug or alcohol addictions and lead to conditions that make people difficult to get along with, just like an alcoholic or drug addict. Eating flour and grain foods can make people foggy brained, tired, cranky, lazy, and downright nasty to be with, like really bad PMS or even psycho. It's sad to think how many relationships break up because of fights resulting from emotional instability from runaway brain chemistry because of the chemistry of the food they ate and were addicted to. People even get seizures and pseudo seizures from these foods. When they stop eating them, they mellow out, become mentally clear again, lose weight, get lots of energy, and have no more digestive problems, breathing problems or other health issues.

It is SO important to have a proper balance of microbes in the gut. One of the biggest problems is antibiotics because they kill the good bacteria even easier than the bad, leaving people with not just weakened immune systems but also the inability to properly digest and assimilate food, which leads to undigested proteins in the bloodstream- the number one cause of allergies, autoimmune diseases all the way to cancer. Antibiotics are bad news and can lead to a lifetime of problems, even with people who eat right. Without healthy strong gut microbes, the body just cannot function as it should. Some

people never get their levels back up because things like stress, lack of proper rest, and toxins from modern life can keep it down. This can even be passed on to children, which are born with weak immune systems and lacking proper probiotic organisms.

Simply taking candida-killing herbs isn't going o do much, in fact it could make things worse because like antibiotics, they also kill the good bacteria. Products containing the enzymes cellulase and hemicellulase will actually starve out the flora and end up feeding the Candida as well as raising blood sugar. The answer isn't to "kill", it's to take away the "bad" guy's food supply (stop eating bread, flour, grains and sugar, including fruit juices) and only feed the good guys. Probiotic flora love fiber, like rice bran, apple fiber, FOS (fructooligosaccharides- made from chicory root), Guar gum, konjac gum, licorice root, inulin. Eat fruit but don't juice it. (too much concentrated sugar)

So run, don't walk to your closest health store and buy PROBIOTICS. The best choice is the liquid kind because these are living cultures of organisms, packed with w little bit of food to keep them alive. Dry capsules are questionable. Who knows how long they've been on the shelf, suffocating in those little capsules. If there is no other choice, then get the dry powder, but try and get wet. When getting the liquid kind, try to get the non-milk kind (soy or coconut water-based). KEFIR is another type of probiotic. You can even grow your own by buying kefir grains or starter kits online or at health stores. Eat lots of cultured foods such as kefir, miso, tempeh, sauerkraut, etc. and a diet rich in vegetable fibers to feed the flora. You NEED more good guys in your system !

As a matter of fact, even sinus conditions are helped by the. Don't swallow or sniff bacteria-killing herbs up your nose- (sinus infections are usually fungal-based anyway, not bacterial or viral) The killing herbs also kill the probiotics in your head. That's why things often times get worse when taking killing herbs. The best thing is to sniff water with probiotics up your nose.

For those taking anti-parasite herbs, it's important to take lots of probiotics at the end of the day (wait 4 to 6 hours for the parasite herbs to pass through or else they will kill the probiotics too.

Probiotic flora; aka "gut microbes" are your very best friends. They are your 24 hour full service policemen, soldiers, plumbers, handymen and house cleaners. Honor them, respect them, keep them happy and feed them well. In return they will give you strength to help endure anything that comes your way and have a long healthy happy disease-free life.

They are not greedy, so they don't outwardly ask for much. When was the last tie you got a craving for fiber? Be aware the next time you get a food craving, it's probably not the good guys sending you that signal. It's the greedy yeast, mold, fungus, bacteria, viruses and parasites asking for sugar, bread, cereal, pasta, rice, carbs and processed food, because that all turns into sticky unhealthy paste that does nothing but literally feed the bad guys. If you bloat after eating or feel tired, that's a sure sign you fed the

wrong guys. That means they are swelling up in numbers and overpowering your good bacteria. So again- know this is the start of most health issues we face.

Feed the good, not the bad.

This one statement alone will make more difference in your life than anything else.

FINAL WORDSJust like rebuilding a car (done right) , you need to first strip down to the bare chassis, then only add new clean strong parts and good fuel. You can’t just take a dirty toxic body and expect it to be a clean healthy muscular body simply by working out and taking supplements. You need to strip your body down and CLEAN OUT first. Do a serious cleanse, and then only do raw foods. This process is outlined in my main book available at http://www.HEALYOURSELF101.com .

Yes you will lose weight at first. Yes you will be skinny and scared. This is part of the rebuilding process. Have patience. Look at Danny Dalton at http://www.HealthyMuscleDVD.com and see what he became after sticking it out. He is definitely not a skinny twig ! ... and he only works out twice a week. And he doesn’t take any supplements. And he only eats 7 dollars of food a day !

This is a whole new world. Yes you can be strong, beautiful, fit and sexy with a long life. Here’s one final bit of inspiration- http://www.bobdelmonteque.com/

For my latest news, updates, cool information and videos, sign up for the free monthly newsletter athttp://www.MarkusNews.comIF YOU DON’T HAVE MY MAIN BOOK YET- GET IT !It tells you in simple words what to immediately do

to clean your body and never get sick again.

Just go to http://www.HealYourself101.com

If you read my main book Heal Yourself 101, you should have the info you need to dramatically change your life. But I know to many of you this is new territory and might seems a bit scary and strange, especially after a lifetime of misinformation and bad habits passed on to you from parents, friends and society. It’s really pretty simple, but our minds are afraid of new things and unfamiliar territory. It tries to protect us from what it doesn’t know. The irony is- it’s been HURTING us because it’s been told all kinds of garbage, and that’s why people are so sick, tired, run down, depressed, unhappy, unsuccessful, irritated and confused.

I get lots of emails every day from all over the world (about 300) and I just don’t have time to answer them all... especially when they start asking health questions. I can’t “fix” you with one quick email. There is no magic pill. I need to know lots of things about you in order to be able to get an idea why you are the way you are. The absolute best way to figure out what you need is to personally come to your house and go through your refrigerator and cabinets... but most of you probably can’t afford that. So the next best thing is telephone consultations, where I can focus on you intently, listen to your situation, your issues and feelings. Within one hour I can pretty much help cut through all the crap and zero right in on your problems, what’s causing them and tell you what to do about it.

The answers are usually simpler than you think. We were born with everything we need. Nature is perfect. All you need to do is understand it a bit better. And when you do, you will be in love with life and amazed at how awesome and miraculous it is. There is pure genius in the grand design of life and how it all connects. If bugs can understand it, so can you. Your overly paranoid analytical fearful mind just got in the way. Let me help clear it out and get on on the path of true life again. Get younger. Never get sick again ! Email my office to set up an appointment- atomiccity@earthlink.net
