Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Bea may I have your kimchi recipe and directions please - when you have time - it seems a very complicated thing to make? I agree that hypertension is more likely to be the lack of one of the other minerals rather than a high salt content - especially the quality salt - more likely to be a lack of Magnesium or Potassium Jane - Bea Bernhausen Monday, August 04, 2008 5:56 AM was --Oh I am sorry--now candida I make kimchi that i use near daily---would this be a good source of probiotics? And also have been wondering about the salt content (high quality sea salt)--as I have high BP. Have heard that good salt is not the culprit it used to be in thinking of high BP. Thoughts? Beabluegreensolutions <bluegreensolutions wrote: Candida: An In-Home Anti-Fungal ProgramWhen you want to fight candida and eliminate the fungus-like yeast,you have to address it with a variety of weapons. Certainly friendlybacteria is one of those weapons, but the trick is in how much youtake. A good anti candida program is to spend 2 to 3 weeks taking allthe right supplements in large quantities. Here's the program:• Start by taking small quantities of acidophilus(http://tinyurl.com/24ajq) and bifidus (http://tinyurl.com/26rur). Oneof each for a few days, then 2 of each, and so on. Take yourprobiotics with a glass of water first thing in the a.m. on an emptystomach. Get to 10 of each, then add one spectrabiotic(http://tinyurl.com/6gzqa). I would suggest opening all the capsules,pour the powder on a tablespoon and swallow it with water (unless youdon't mind all these capsules going into your body – that's a lot ofcapsules, although they are vegetarian). Build up to 10 acidophilus,10 bifidus and 10 spectrabiotic a day. Stay at that level for 2 weeksand then start decreasing the amounts until you get to what iscomfortable for you to take daily and maintain your health. Forexample, I personally take 3 each of these probiotics a day.• When you start taking 10 of each of the friendly bacteria everyday, start taking fresh organic garlic every day. Some call garlic the ultimate antibacterial, antifungal and anti-viralmedicinal food. Garlic is recommended in this nutritional program forits healing properties with candida. Garlic is best used fresh. Raworganic garlic destroys bacteria, boosts immune function and may helpprevent cancer. Garlic is high in sulfur, which is one of the most important mineralsneeded by your body to do its detoxification work. To maximize garlic's superlative antibacterial, antiviral, andanti-parasitical activity, use it in the following way: Before goingto sleep at night, finely chop 1 to 2 cloves of garlic. Put thechopped garlic on a tablespoon and swallow it with water. Do not chewit. There will be absolutely no garlic odor on your breath if you donot chew the garlic.Your first bowel movement after starting will have a garlic odor. This is a wonderful sign that this superfood was active in your GItract while you were sleeping and regenerating. Garlic tirelesslypatrols your intestinal tract all night long, as a "toxic-garbage cop"helping to neutralize, dismantle, and eliminate bacteria, viruses,parasites and carcinogens."Build up to 3 cloves every night. Do not eat raw garlic more than 2weeks in a row. • You need to get to the level of 10 each of acidophilus, bifidus,spectrabiotic, and 3 cloves of garlic - stay at this level for atleast 2 weeks. Candida should no longer be a problem.You can then reduce everything and drop amounts slowly until you getdown to 5 of each and no garlic after 3 to 4 weeks, then drop theamounts further to 3 of each and you should stay at these levels offriendly bacteria. • Drink this tea once a day:"The following sweet herbs can be used daily as support for theintestinal tract. In the initial stages of this healing process, Irecommend that you use this tea once or twice a day for the firstthree months. The ingredients for the tea are anise, caraway and fennel seeds, andginger. Take a heaping teaspoon of each of the different seeds andadd water to make a cup of tea. Slice two or three thin pieces oforganic fresh ginger. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for 5minutes. This tea is very calming to the stomach, especially if youare going through any uncomfortable detoxification symptoms. Itreduces gas, nausea and bloating. Ginger is known to be a very strongantibacterial and antifungal agent."• High quality fiber is important in the fight against candida. Research has shown the health benefits of a diet high in fiber. Theyinclude regularity, lower cholesterol, protection against certainforms of cancer, and stabilized blood sugar levels.To maintain intestinal hygiene, you need about 35 to 40 grams ofdifferent fiber sources everyday (e.g., bran, cellulose, lignin,pectin, etc.), all found in different organically grown, ripe seasonalfruit, whole grains, and colorful vegetables. Eating these foodsprovides the added fiber that will bulk up in your intestines, gentlysweeping the colon clean of extra estrogen, hormones, toxins, wastedebris of cellular metabolism and soak up excess cholesterol. Do nottry to "mega-dose" on one type of fiber, like oat bran, as you needeach (all) of the different basic fibers for proper bowel cleansing. The following foods are particularly known to add to the healthycondition of your intestine, specifically because of their fibercontent: Flax seed, also known for its anti-harmful bacteriaproperties, prunes, mangos and coconut meat.• Virgin coconut oil: One of the most amazing aspects of coconutoil is its ability to fight infections. When coconut oil is consumed,the body transforms its unique fatty acids into powerful antimicrobial powerhouses capable of defeating some of the most notoriousdisease-causing microorganisms. Even the super germs are vulnerableto these lifesaving coconut derivatives. Coconut oil is, in essence,a natural anti bacterial, anti viral, anti fungal, and anti protozoalfood.Coconut oil's anti microbial effects come from its unique compositionof medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). Coconut oil is composed of 48percent lauric acid, 7 percent capric acid, 8 percent caprylic acid,and .5 percent carproic acid. These medium-chain fatty acids givecoconut oil its amazing anti microbial properties and are generallyabsent from all other vegetables and animal oils with the exception ofbutter. MCFA are natural substances the body knows how to use for its benefit.They are harmless to us while they are deadly to certainmicroorganisms. For example, most bacteria and viruses are encased ina coat of lipids (fats). The fatty acids that make up this outermembrane or skin hold together the organism's DNA. Lipid coatedviruses and bacteria are easily killed by MCFA, which primarilydestroy these organisms by disrupting their lipid membranes. MCFA,being similar to those in the micro-organisms' membrane, are easilyattracted to and absorbed into it. Unlike the other fatty acids inthe membrane, MCFA are much smaller and, therefore, weaken the alreadynearly fluid membrane to such a degree that it disintegrates. Themembrane literally splits open, spilling its insides and killing theorganism. Our white blood cells quickly clean up and dispose of thecellular debris. MCFA kill invading organisms without causing anyknown harm to human tissues. The potential coconut oil has in treating and preventing a wideassortment of infections is truly astounding, ranging from the flu tolife-threatening conditions such as AIDS.• Enzyme therapy (http://tinyurl.com/mkwo): Systemic enzymetherapy is used to reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system,improve circulation, help speed tissue repair, bring nutrients to thedamaged area, remove waste products, improve health, strengthen thebody as a whole, and build general resistance. Digestive enzyme therapy is used to improve the digestion of food,reduce stress on the gastrointestinal mucosa, help maintain normal pHlevels, detoxify the body, and promote the growth of healthyintestinal flora. Digestive enzymes also serve as replacements forthe body's pancreatic enzymes, leaving the pancreatic enzymes free toperform other functions in the body such as boosting immunity.Take three digestive enzymes on an empty stomach three times a day andthree digestive enzymes with each meal.• Avoid excess fat in your diet: Excess fat is the culprit incandida, more than sugar, per se. When fat levels in the blood rise,so does blood sugar, because excess fat inhibits insulin fromperforming its function of escorting sugar out of the bloodstream. Theexcess fat lines the blood vessel walls, the cells' insulin receptorsites, the sugar molecules themselves, and the insulin with a thincoating of fat, thus blocking and inhibiting normal metabolicactivity. Too much sugar in the blood is as life threatening as toolittle and can result in serious illness or death. Yeast, or candida,is a constant presence in the blood; it serves as a life preservationmechanism, blooming when there is an excess of sugar in the bloodstream to bring blood sugar down to a non-threatening level. When thesugar is distributed and used by the cells of the body, the yeastquickly dies off as it is supposed to. If fat levels stay chronicallyhigh due to a poor diet, sugar will remain in the bloodstream and feedthe large candida colonies instead of feeding the 18 trillion cells ofyour body. Starved for fuel, these cells can no longer metabolizeenergy, and you become tired, and feel rundown. Because allcarbohydrate, fat, and protein that we eat is converted to simplesugar (glucose) if it is to be used by the cells for fuel, the way outof this cycle is to consume less fat. When fat levels drop, the sugarstarts to get processed and distributed again, and the yeast levelsdrop because there is no longer excess sugar available.Our recommendation is to use coconut oil for cooking and no other typeof fats (butter, margarine, olive oil, ....etc.).• Take 6 to 8 capsules of wild-crafted blue green algae(http://tinyurl.com/g1iz and http://tinyurl.com/iw4k) because of itsincredible nutrient profile, especially the carotenoids family. Carotenoids are potent antioxidants needed to enhance the health ofthe digestive system especially the intestinal lining. • Take an antioxidant supplement like Coenzyme Q10(http://tinyurl.com/f1f7) - two capsules a day with food. Read theresearch at the end of the article about Q10 and Candida.• Here's a list of foods that feed yeast and that you shouldavoid, not just to stop the yeast infections, but to stay healthy forever:Breads with processed flours (white or brown), pastas from processedflours, bottled juice (even if the juice was organic, because ofpasteurization the sugar in the juice become processed sugar), wine, beer, and dairy products (cheese and milk products) because theycreate mucous that feeds the yeast.• Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of pure water (not tap water) inbetween meals.You might go through candida die-off periods where you are not feelinggood (bloated, congested....etc.). Don't stop the program, becausecandida will come back even stronger. These feelings should go awayquickly.****************Journal: Medical Hypotheses 2001 Nov;57(5):570-2 Title: Does gastrointestinal Candida albicansprevent ubiquinone absorption?Authors: Krone CA, Elmer GW, Ely JT, Fudenberg HH,Thoreson J.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It's actually very easy---well the kind I make anyway---essentially the process entails cabbage either oriental or regular--sprinkle with sea salt to soften for a few hours then rinse--and add chinese radish--green onions--zuchinni--garlic and ginger--hot pepper--(you can add many different ingredients) add salt water brine some add a bit of sugar (I don't like mine too salty--though not sure what effect that has on fermenting) and leave in a room temperature for about three days--or more depending on how strong you want it. The stronger the more good bacteria I presume. Anyway it winds up pretty stinky--but so good for you. It will keep in the fridge for months. The REAL Kimchi makers use anchovies or shrimp and roll it all up fancy and use ceramic crocks--but for me the important thing is the bacteria. You can't really go wrong.
