Cayenne Pepper Is A Nutritious Super Potent Food

Cayenne Pepper Nutrition

I add 1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon of cayenne pepper to my veggie juice daily, which is an easy way for me to naturally supplement needed nutrients. One tablespoon of cayenne pepper supplies the following:

Fight Cold And Flu With Black Elderberry

I am writing a product review of “Gaia Herbs” Black Elderberry product. I was supplied with the product to review by Seacoast Vitamins. I agreed to review this particular product because I would use it myself.

When I first started my vegan journey and I went on a three month herbal cleanse to clean my organs of waste and toxins, and to remove excess mucus from my body. I used elderberry daily for that period of time to help clear my body of mucus and to strengthen my immune system. I use it occasionally now to help fortify my immune system.

Dandelion Herbal Remedies

I used dandelion herbal capsules as part of my three month herbal cleanse when I first started on my plant based vegan diet. The capsules consist of dandelion root and dandelion leaves.

Herbalists use dandelion root to detoxify the liver and gallbladder, and dandelion leaves to support kidney function. Dandelion leaves act as a diuretic and increase the amount of urine produced by the body, supporting kidney function. Dandelion leaves are also used to stimulate the appetite and aid digestion.

I Used Papain A Protein Digesting As Part Of My Small Intestine Cleanse

As in the case of bromelain, papain is also a protein digesting enxyme. Papain, also known as papaya proteinase, is a cysteine protease enzyme found in papayas. I used papain in combination with bromelain to remove proteins caught in the mucoid lining my small intestine as part of my small intestine cleanse. (more…)

I Used Bromelain And Papain Dissolve Proteins As Part Of My Small Intestine Cleanse

From my post on the benefits of mullein you saw that I cleaned my small intestine by using mullein to remove harmful mucoid lining the intestine. In order for the mullein to be effective, I also had to remove the proteins stuck in the mucoid substance. I used two natural plant based digestive enzymes to dissolve these trapped proteins: bromelain and papain.

I Used Mullein In Combination With Bromelain & Papain To Clean My Small Intestine

I am continuously amazed as I study plant food and herbs, and it has reinforced in me the plant based foods are the basis for supporting life. Whether you are a vegan or if you eat meat, we are all dependent on plant life in some way.

Carnivores eat herbivores, which are dependent on plant life. The carnivores then absorb the nutrients from the herbivores, which get their nutrients from plants. The plants in turn get their nutrients from the earth. Without plant life, how could we continue to live?

Fight Mucus Buildup With Elderberry Extract

Elderberry, also known as Sambucus Nigra, has been used in alternate medicine for hundreds of years to fight cold and flu symptoms. I found out about elderberries when studying the ingredients the herbalist Dr. Sebi uses in some of his tonics. Traditionally, elderberries have been used to fight the flu and colds and now scientific research has indicated that its antiviral and antioxidants properties are the reason for its effectiveness. Research has shown that elderberry was effective against flu infections like H1N1 by binding to the virus and blocking it from entering host cells.

My Experience Using Ginger

I blend a piece of ginger the size of half of my thumb in my veggie juice in the morning. Ginger can be very hot to some people in large doses, so I would suggest to find the right amount that you can tolerate. I love how ginger soothes my stomach and keeps it that way. I started adding ginger to my daily regimen six months ago and I haven't had a queasy stomach since.

Research Shows That Curcumin is Excellent For The Brain, Joints and More!

I take curcumin every day in my goji berry curcumin juice. I call that drink my "Brain Body Energizer. The curcumin energizes the brain and the goji berries energize the body. Curcumin does more than energize the brain though.

Curcumin is a component of the spice tumeric. Curcumin is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, fights certain cancers, and dissolves proteins in the brain that cause Alzheimer's disease.
