Strange First Question

[Guest guest]

Hi Cindy and welcome - I know how you feel about finding a great list, I also

felt like that some 2 years ago when I was searching for answers.

 

Your best bet for breakfast is most definitely a good smoothie - especially

if you get a good non GM & organic soy protein shake mix - with a banana or

whatever fruit your children favor, I am sure that you will have great success.

You could even add vitamins (and dare I suggest Udo Erasmus oils) to ensure

that they are getting all the vital nutrients that they need.

 

Hope that helps a little.

Cindy,

 

I really wonder about your allergies. When someone

talks about all kinds of allergy and other illnesses,

it makes me worry about environmental illness. My

daughter had that last year (and many people suffer

from it who have no clue what they have). MDs

generally don't acknowledge it as an issue and many

alternative health practitioners treat it with

detoxing supplements. The doctor I finally had

Camille see last November fixed her problems and she

no longer deals with the allergies or other things

associated with EI.

 

Anyway, I have a link here I would like for you to

read - http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/mcs.html . If you

feel that perhaps indeed you are dealing with EI, I

would really like to hear more from you.

I gave up on the idea a while back that breakfast should

taste good. I make a smoothie with 2 cloves of garlic a piece of

ginger the size of my first thumb joint, a stalk of celery, a mostly

peeled lemon & a mostly peeled orange in 24 ounces of water. I add

a stick of cinnamon, an ounce of lecithin, an ounce and a half of

brewers yeast, an envelope of unflavored gelatin, a rounded teaspoon

of ultimate fiber, an ounce of flax seeds, and a Tbsp of flaxseed

oil. Before I turn on my vitamix blender, I add a heaping tsp of

buffered vitamin C powder with bioflavanoids & rose hips (about 10-12

grams of C). If it seems too thick, I add more water. Oh -- I also

add a small handful of brazilnuts. Every other day, I add a 3/4 "

slice of pineapple (with core, without skin). When not using

pineapple I sometimes add frozen berries, and sometimes do not --

depending on what my fasting blood glucose levels are doing. I

started with one very small garlic clove a week ago. Now I am up to

2 medium cloves. I sip the goop slowly over about an hour or more

while I check my e-mail and take my vitamins. For dessert, I clean

the garlic taste from my mouth with ascorbic acid in water, then

plain water, then have 1/4 of a cantaloupe -- no sugar needed after

my breakfast goop. Breakfast is my largest meal of the day.

I'm aware of the great properties of most of what you

described in your shake, but what problems do you

specifically try to address with this shake? Also I'm

familiar with Kitchenaid, Waring and Vitamix. Vitamix

is superindustrial strength. Could you tell me what

made you decide to use a Vitamix as a regular blender?

I would purchase it if there was some distinct

advantage. Thanks in advance for any info.

I chose the Vitamix because I had burned out 4 other blenders

in less than a decade -- including one which costs me nearly $200.

I have had the vitamix now for 5 yeas & am completely satisfied.

Once it needed repair but that was covered under their 6 year

warantee.

 

I slowly evolve my breakfast " goop " . I don't keep much in

the way of notes as to why I add what items.

Flax seed is for omega 3 oils & for fiber.

I had arthritis in my hands (slowly getting worse over about a

decade). Now I do not. Not sure if the ginger helped that or if

it was something else.

I am a diabetic. Peripheral neuropathy is something I have been

told will get worse over time. I don't accept that. I really should

be using Cassia instead of regular connamon, but I have not yet found

a lead on cassia.

Gelatin is good for preventing joint & cartilidge deterioration

with age.

Lecithin is good brain food (as well as all-around good).

Brewers yeast is high in B vitamins. Celery because of this

article

http://alternative-medicine-message-boards.info/viewtopic.php?t=426 .

Raw garlic because of 2 posts in this e-list by Frank & Francine

made on Sept. 20 of this year. Frank's post had a subject of

" Garlic and AIDS " and Francine's post subject was " I Never Get Sick

Anymore " .

Ultimate fiber (by Nature's Secret) has a mix of herbs as well

as fiber. I like what it does to my bowl movements.

I use a lot of vitamin C each day (a little over an ounce).

When I sleep, my body uses up its stores so I need to put in a lot

when I first wake up (see some quotes on rebound scurvy in my latest

post in the thread " melatonin NOW Insomnia and herbs. " ) Mainly I use

plain ascorbic acid. In the goop I use buffered C so it does not

get too sour when I put in so much. The buffered C I use also

contains bioflavanoids which are always good.

I use a lemon a day mainly because of a post in this group made

by Yahwist on August 24 with the subject " The Mighty Lemon: " Orange

& lemon are both good for more bioflavanoids. Orange also adds a

bit of sweetness & flavor.

Pineapple is good for digestion (bromelin) and for arthritis.

Because I am diabetic I use on alternating days because pineapples

are very sweet.

Berries are filled with good stuff. For a few good articles see

http://alternative-medicine-message-boards.info/viewforum.php?f=196

Brazilnuts are mainly for Selenium, but they also add some fat &

protein. Good for me to have a breakfast with protein & fats as

well as carbohydrates.
