Natural Remedies for Kidney Stones... Barley help avoid stone formation... .


Kidney stones are mineral deposits made up of calcium, uric acid or the amino acid cysteine in urine found inside the kidneys or ureters. They are hard masses that can grow from crystals forming within the kidneys. They can be as small as a grain of sand or big as a golf ball. The reason of how these stones are formed is not yet surely known. Obesity and repeated kidney infections are also risk factors. The stones often cause severe pain, sometimes accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms, chills, fever and blood in the urine. Kidney stones typically leave the body in the urine stream; if they grow relatively large before passing, obstruction of a ureter and distention with urine can cause severe pain most commonly felt in the flank, lower abdomen and groin.

Treatment of kidney stones depends on the type and cause of the stone. Most stones can be treated without surgery. There are natural remedies for kidney stones which are often enough to move a stone out of the body or dissolve a stone. Some of the natural remedies for kidney stones are given below.

  1. The best natural remedy for kidney stone is water. Keep drinking water even if you are not thirsty and active physically. Lots and lots of water for all types keep your kidneys flushed. It decreases, or dilutes, the concentration of substances that can contribute to the formation of new kidney stones or to the enlargement of existing kidney stones Drink enough water to make you have to urinate every hour or two, and the urine should look almost clear.

  1. Orange juice is one of the natural remedies for kidney stones, which will cause the tudes from the kidney to enlarge, thus passing the stone. Cranberry juice has been shown to reduce the amount of ionized calcium in the urine by over 50% per cent in patients with recurrent kidney stones. Keep drinking the cranberry juice to, to help flush your kidneys and water.

  1. Magnesium and vitamin B6 is used by the body to convert oxalate into other substances, so these supplements reduce the risk of kidney stones Deficiency of these leads to stone formation, hence eating potassium rich foods through fruits and vegetables such as barley, potatoes, wheat flour, cauliflower and banana can help avoid stone formation. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate may also play a role in reducing the risk the kidney stone formation. Eat high fibre foods such as sweet corn, fruits and vegetables.

  1. Salt and sugar intake should be restricted. Consuming salt, sugar, animal protein and oxalate rich foods such as spinach, chocolate and nuts is linked to kidney stone formation. Avoid foods high in oxalic acid such as tomatoes, wheatgerm, spinach, carrots, peas, beef, strawberries, raspberries, almonds, cashew nuts, and chocolates and avoid sodium-rich foods such as pickles, tamarind etc. Avoid meat and consume more vegetarian proteins as they make the urine alkaline. Avoid alcohol tea, cocoa and caffeine and cola drinks.

  1. Apple juice is also a natural remedy for getting rid of kidney stones. Drink apple juice for two days, then at the end of two days drink 6 ounces of olive oil and 6 ounces of pure lemon juice, separately or combined. Drinking lemon aide every day also helps.

  1. Make a tea out of Watermelon Seeds. Just simmer the seeds in water until it starts to turn the water to color. Cool and add some sugar if you like. But it is difficult to drink without some sweetener. You may drink it hot like hot tea.

  1. An herb called Chanca Piedra helps to break up stones in the gallbladder and the kidneys. Daily intake of 25 grams of fresh juice of parsley 3 times and 30 min before meals is also a natural remedy for kidney stones. The balanced diet is must, avoiding too much dairy foods and mean, all those protein impede the natural kidney functions.

  1. Some herbs like asparagus root, birch leaf, couch grass, goldenrod, horsetail, lovage, parsley, and stinging nettle act as diurectics increasing urine volume, which helps prevent kidney stones. There are some pills made from milled herbs bound with water, honey, ginger juice, or other substances, which also helps to get rid of kidney stones.

Dr. Lorraine Day Tumor and Young Barley Grass Juice


You Have Cancer. You're going to Die!

 

The doctors told me. . .



"But they were wrong!" says Lorraine Day M.D. She was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and had a lumpectomy of a small tumor. But the tumor soon recurred, became very aggressive and grew rapidly. Yet Dr. Day rejected standard therapies because of their destructive side effects and because those therapies often lead to death. She chose instead to rebuild her immune system using the natural, simple inexpensive therapies designed by God and available to everyone, so her body could heal itself.


In her two videos, You Can Improve on God and Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore, Dr. Day explains why you don't have to accept a death sentence from your doctor and how this plan has been used successfully by many patients with different types of life-threatening diseases to regain their health.

Though she uses other brand of young barley leaf juice powder, we use her testimonial as a credit of the same product. 


My Massage Trainings...

In our rural environment where doctors are few and expensive, most of us rely much on "Manghihilot" or quack doctors as they say.  The appreciation of their skill in giving us a traditional massage and herbal supplements made us think whenever we feel something not right in our physical well-being.  But as technology progresses and we reside in the urban area, we may still dependent of them but in their absence, we buy oil and lotion and personally massage ourselves or taking turns.  When the so-called wellness revolution starts, day spa flourishing like mushrooms in the City, it gives us really a relief!  We became spa addicts, whenever a new massage clinic opens we try their new services and were fully satisfied.  That made us interested in venturing of a massage clinic, my brother Sonny and sister Adah with her husband Howell puts up the first day spa in Iligan City, Body Line Massage & Spa Clinic. All the misconception of being another sex service establishment made us decide to study few variations of massage.  Though I am not with them yet as I do not have the money to put up an investment or for my own, I started learning some massage technology like the one we paid to Dermaline for P8,000, a 5-day training on Ayurveda Massage in New Horizon Hotel, Mandaluyong City.  It is truly an eye opener to me and more business opportunity running wild in my mind.



The training we had of Ayurveda gives birth to a dream, I would like to own a destination spa, to locate it in a very isolated area where my customers will not be disturbed, may it be in an island of my own or a big property along hills or mountain with streams, waterfalls or river along sides that my therapeutic offerings will be possible.  But before that, I would like to know what a day spa operation runs, and to maintain the quality of the services, a massage school must be established, that Body Line Training Institute was opened.  With God we trust that He will prosper us in our endeavor.  My sister Adah and Howell as my partners, so as to the silent financiers or investors, my sister Cristina and Cezar Climaco in New York, and a special investor who do not want to divulge its participation, we will dare to conquer and become the best day spa and massage school in southern Philippines. Fortunate enough, Spa Association of the Philippines, Inc. (SAPI) granted my sister Adah a CIBTAC Training on European Spa Operation and Management, on which she cascaded the training to the Spa owners in Iligan City and to us interested to learn.  Below are some of our pictures taken on our 1-month training on CIBTAC Swedish Massage with Anatomy and Physiology.




It's fun as we study the new modality of CIBTAC Swedish Massage, I include some clips below of what we have studied, we may have taken some of the part of the sequence to make the 1-hour limit of our actual demonstration but this is it!

 CIBTAC Swedish Massage 1 of 6clips...

You will learn a lot from this clip, but you still need a certificate to use this skill for employment and operating your own spa or just simply doing it as part-time massage therapist, I suggest you study with us in Body Line Training Institute, number of our students are people who work abroad, OCW or OFW, they were the ones who inspires us for they informed us that this is one of the skills in demand and it really pays good!

CIBTAC Swedish Massage 6 of 6clips.





Equipped with two trainings we took the TESDA National Competency Assessment for NC II Certification and we passed. To complete TESDA requirements for our school, again our group attended their AM/TM seminar.


Adding a new course for our school on HILOT Wellness Massage made me study again with ATHAG, an association of traditional Hilot practitioners lead by Maestro Boy, below is our class picture.


There are still a lot to learn for this massage business, and wellness industry is expanding, God willing, Body Line Massage & Spa Clinic and Body Line Training Institute would be known authority for people who are planning to put up their Spa business.

Barley and Hallelujah Diet


The hallelujah diet is an organic raw food, vegetarian diet, and weight loss diet for immune system health and natural healing. It restores the immune system.       

The Hallelujah Diet by Rev. George Malkmus         

People often ask me, "What do you eat?" Here is my answer:          

Breakfast         

One tablespoon of Barley powder either dry and let it dissolve in my mouth, or in a couple of ounces of distilled water at room temperature. That is usually all I have until noon! If I do get hungry, then I may eat a piece of fresh juicy fruit later in the morning. Cooked food is an absolute no-no as my body is in a cleansing mode until about noon each day. The Barley caplets can be dissolved in the mouth like a lozenge, however. I enjoy them in this form, especially while traveling.          

Lunch        

One tablespoon of Barley powder, as at breakfast and sometimes I stir my Barley into 8 ounces of freshly extracted carrot juice, which I find especially delicious and extremely nutritious. At least a half hour after the Barley, I prefer an all-raw fruit lunch: a banana, apple, dates, etc. Organic is always best when available.(Sometimes I have a vegetable salad for lunch instead of the fruit.) It is important that this be an all raw meal!          

Supper         

One tablespoon of Barley powder either dry or in a couple ounces of distilled water or in carrot juice. Carrot juice must be freshly extracted, never canned, bottled or frozen. Then, at least 30 minutes after the Barley, I eat a large green vegetable salad of leaf lettuce (never head lettuce), broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, etc. I enjoy adding half an avocado in most of my vegetable salads. This is usually followed by some cooked food (baked potato, baked sweet potato, brown rice, steamed vegetables, whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, and so on). Later in the evening I often have a glass of organic apple juice or a piece of juicy fruit. (My diet consists of approximately 85 percent raw food, and 15 percent cooked food.)    

Exercise is also an essential part of my program. I do at least one hour of vigorous exercise daily. Additionally, I try to get some sunshine on as much of my body as possible every day.   

To be sure I get the essential fatty acids needed by my body, I also have one tablespoon of Udo's Choice Perfected Blend Oil. I either have this on my evening salad or straight out of the bottle.  

*The reason I supplement my diet with young Barley grass is that our food today is being grown for the most part on very deficient soils that often lack all the nutrients my body needs for building new, strong, healthy, vital, vibrant cells. Barley is grown organically and contains the widest spectrum of nutrients available today from a single source that I am aware of. It is also loaded with enzymes. I consider it the single most important food I put in my body each day and always consume at least 3 tablespoons of it a day.  

**The second-most important thing I put into my body each day is freshly extracted carrot juice made from large California juicing carrots in a Green Power Juicer. I try to drink at least 16 to 24 ounces each day. When I had my colon cancer 20 years ago, I consumed 32 to 64 ounces of carrot juice each day. If I had a serious physical problem today I would consume up to eight 8-ounce glasses of carrot juice each day in addition to my three to four tablespoons of Barley. The reason young Barley grass and carrot juice is so important to me is:   

1. Cooked food has practically no nutritional value. 

2. A large percentage of the nutrients in raw food are lost in the digestion process, with only 1 to 35 % of nutrients reaching cell level, depending on the health of the digestive system. 

3. When vegetable juices or Barley is consumed, up to 92% of the nutrients reach cell level. This is because the pulp has been removed and thus no digestion is necessary. Raw vegetable juices are the fastest way to nourish the cells and rebuild the immune system and essential body organs.

In 1962, Dr. Frank Logsdon, former pastor of the famous Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, was a dinner guest in my home. Over the dinner table, he told a fascinating story of how he had had cancer and -- rather than going the medical route -- had gone to the Page Institute in Tampa, Florida. At this institute, he was told to remove five white foods from his diet, and to switch to a raw vegetarian / fruitarian diet. He had done this and his cancer disappeared! Dr. Logsdon was about 60 years old at the time he was in my home. Several years ago, I learned he was still preaching . . . which would put his age close to 90 now!
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   

THE 5 WHITES TO AVOID      

Interestingly, the five white foods he was told had caused his cancer are the same foods my research has shown to be causing most of our physical problems.
What are the five white foods causing our physical problems? I will list them, starting with the most dangerous substance we put into our body . . . MEAT!       

MEAT contains white fat! The average American meat eater puts over 50 pounds of fat (cholesterol) into their body per year! This fat clogs the arteries, ultimately causing the heart attacks and strokes that will kill approximately 50 percent of our population. Meat is also the culprit in causing colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and other forms of cancer. Cancer is responsible for 33 percent of American deaths. And meat is the primary cause of adult-onset diabetes, which kills 9 percent of our population. Meat also causes gout and arthritis and a host of other physical problems. We are told that we need meat for protein and strength, but we are not told that the cooking of meat changes the molecular structure of the protein and renders the protein in meat unusable by the body. If we look to nature, we will find that there is not a single animal in the wild that cooks the flesh it eats! Seventeen years of research has revealed meat as it is produced today to be the single most dangerous food that we put into our body. I have not eaten any meat in 17 years.  

DAIRY is the second most dangerous substance we can put into our bodies for many of the same reasons. We are told milk is the perfect food, and needed for calcium. But we are not told that the pasteurizing of milk (heating it to temperatures of 160 degrees or higher) changes the calcium to an inorganic form, which cannot be assimilated by the body.  In nature, no animal pasteurizes its milk... and no animal drinks the milk of another species, nor does it ever drink milk after the age of weaning. The only source of bad cholesterol (LDL) is animal products! ANIMAL PRODUCTS ARE NOT GOOD FOOD!  

SALT is another white substance that creates untold physical problems and suffering. The body needs sodium, but it must be in an organic form in order to be usable by the body. Table salt, sodium chloride, is an inorganic sodium compound formed by the union of sodium and chlorine that is extremely toxic to the body, causing it to retain fluid in an effort to keep this protoplasmic poison in suspension and out of the cells. 

SUGAR is the fourth white substance creating our physical problems. Sugar is so changed and concentrated from its original plant form... that it is actually a drug! Just 10 teaspoons (approximately the amount found in one soft drink) will immobilize the immune system by about 33 percent. Approximately 30 teaspoons of sugar will shut down the immune system for a whole day.  

WHITE FLOUR has had all the good substances (bran and germ) removed during processing. Then it is bleached, sometimes with a bleaching agent similar to Clorox. Finally, they add some coal-tar-derived (carcinogenic) vitamins and it is sold to the unsuspecting public as "enriched." WHITE FLOUR IS NOT GOOD FOOD... IN FACT IT IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!

Young Barley Grass - Frequently Asked Questions... .



How is barley juice powder processed?

Barley grass is organically grown without using any chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. The plants are harvested when the leaves contain the widest spectrum of nutrients, and low temperature processing is used to convert the barley grass into concentrate juice powder.



Is there anyone who should not use barley grass?

Barley grass is a natural whole food concentrate and is safe for consumption for most people. People with severe medical problems or complications should consult a health practitioner before taking it.



Can I take barley grass while taking medication?

As long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can consume barley grass.



How to consume barley grass?

It is advisable to consume 1 teaspoon (3g) twice a day 30 minutes before a meal as barley grass works best on an empty stomach. For those who are ill it is advisable to increase the amount to 1 teaspoon 3 times a day and for people with quite severe illness this can be increased the serving size depending on your needs and state of health. Take either cold or room temperature water and consume it immediately or it will lose its nutrients due to oxidization.



Why do we need to use room temperature or cool water?

Because the barley grass has ‘live’ enzymes and other nutrients that will be destroyed by using hot, warm or iced water.



Why should we consume barley grass on an empty stomach?

To enable the nutrients can be assimilated easily without the presence of other foods.


Who is barley grass good for?

Everyone can benefit from the nutrition of barley grass. It is an excellent food for people of all ages from young children to the elderly. Pregnant women who eat barley grass provide their unborn child with excellent nutrition.



If I take barley grass, should I also take other supplements?

There is no need for you to take other supplement because barley grass provides the wide range of essential nutrients and is so finely balanced.



I started taking barley grass and I feel worse. Why?

When you begin taking barley grass, your body often goes through a cleansing known as detoxification. This can manifest itself in fatigue, rashes, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia or constipation depending on the state of your health or your diet. It is your body flushing out toxins and will soon pass.


------------------------------------------------------------------


Is Pure Barley NZ Recommended for the Hallelujah Diet?


Absolutely! Pure Barley NZ users will see even better results. Simply use the same amount of Pure Barley NZ and you will soon feel the difference! We feel it is that much better. We are excited to hear the many good reports that will be coming in. Pure Barley NZ is not irradiated to control bacteria and you can be confident in the HerbCare management integrity. Pure Barley NZ is tremendous!!



How does the vitamin A content in Pure Barley NZ compare to competing products?


Our most recent analysis indicates that the vitamin A content in Pure Barley NZ is nearly four times higher when tested with the same method.



What happened to the antioxidant 2-O-GIV?


Early research on green barley grass juice indicated that it contains the antioxidant identified as 2"-O-GIV. More recent research indicates that while green barley grass juice (including Pure Barley NZ) does contain 2"-O-GIV, it is present in exceedingly low levels. At the same time, two powerful antioxidants were found to be present in green barley grass juice. They are saponarin and lutonarin. Saponarin is in the "GIV" family. Lutonarin is in the "GIO" family and is the superior antioxidant. We have found both saponarin and lutonarin in BarleyLife 2"-O-GIV is present in small amounts.



HerbCare has stood behind Pure Barley NZ for years with positive results and tens of thousands of satisfied users. How many user reports do you have on Pure Barley NZ?


100 percent of the people who took Pure Barley NZ in a test market rated it above average to excellent. Because the quality of Pure Barley NZ is so much higher than in other green barley juice powders, those who take it are noticing positive benefits much more quickly and are sharing their results with us. As more folks learn about the increased benefits of Pure Barley NZ and use this product the number of user reports will dramatically increase.



Where does the product come from?


Sante’ Members and customers will get the Pure Barley NZ produced in New Zealand thru HerbCare.



When Pure Barley NZ is mixed with water and I drink it (no more than two minutes later), there are precipitates in the bottom of glass. Why?


We have chosen to introduce 5% or less of the plant fiber back into the juice. This aids in our ability to produce a larger granule without adding more maltodextrin. The difference in the total fiber is negligible (3.7% in Pure Barley NZ ) but the reduction in maltodextrin is significant. Also, the use of a whole kelp powder rather than a kelp ash will add to the amount of sediment if the juice is allowed to settle for some time.



Why does Pure Barley NZ contain maltodextrin?


In Pure Barley NZ, maltodextrin plays two very important roles, which are actually related to one another. First, maltodextrin acts as an exceptionally efficient carrier for the natural nutrients found in spray-dried barley juice powder. Second, maltodextrin naturally adheres to the nutrient molecules in the barley juice powder, providing a natural coating and protection against the nutrients reacting with one another and greatly reducing the damaging effects of oxidation. This protection stabilizes the nutrients in a totally natural manner and allows Pure Barley NZ to have a two-year or longer shelf life. Once you mix the powder in a liquid, this protective shield is lifted. In addition, the reduction in maltodextrin in Pure Barley NZ is significant. HerbCare will continue to examine the viability of reducing the amount of maltodextrin even further but it will only be done when it is determined that overall quality is not reduced. This is important as higher quality provides us with greater results.



Can people who are on blood thinners take Pure Barley NZ?


Many people using blood-thinning medication, such as Coumadin ®, are told by their doctors to avoid consuming certain green, leafy vegetables because of the vitamin K content. We are not aware of any adverse effects resulting from the continued use of green barley grass juice powders. If you have a serious medical condition, we suggest that you consult your health practitioner before taking a green barley grass juice supplement.
Warfarin blocks the reduction of vitamin K oxide into vitamin K in efforts to reduce the body's natural clotting response. We did not test for vitamin K in Pure Barley NZ; however, 1 serving of Pure Barley NZ contains about 24 mcg. Therefore, 1 serving of Pure Barley NZ contains less than the recommended daily intake for vitamin K, which is:


Males, 19 years and older: 120 mcg; Females, 19 years and older: 90 mcg


Data suggests that one should avoid fluctuations of 250 mcg above or below normal intakes of vitamin K while your physician determines the proper dosage of warfarin.



Can diabetics take Pure Barley NZ?


Pure Barley NZ is a whole food supplement, very similar to juiced green vegetables. There are no known adverse effects associated with Pure Barley NZ and blood sugar levels. If you consume green vegetables and complex carbohydrates such as pasta (maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate) with no adverse effects, then you should be able to take Pure Barley NZ. If you have concerns, we encourage you to consult your health practitioner. There have been numerous reports from hypoglycemics and diabetics who have experienced favorable results shortly after starting to take a green barley grass juice supplement.



Can Pure Barley NZ be mixed in a hot beverage?


Because heat and acidity can affect enzymatic activity, it is recommended that Pure Barley NZ not be taken in any of the following: cranberry or prune juice, carbonated drinks, or hot drinks.



What about detoxification?


Many symptoms can be related to detoxification. If so, they will slowly disappear. To speed up the detoxification process, drink plenty of purified water. If some cases it may be wise to reduce the amount of Pure Barley NZ taken while the body gets use to it and toxins are dealt with.



Can folks with kidney disorders or renal failure take Pure Barley NZ?


People with kidney disorders, kidney disease, or renal failure may want to consult their health practitioner about consuming potassium-dense foods like Pure Barley NZ. According to nutritional analysis, there are 214 mg of potassium in one tablespoon (5-gram serving) of Pure Barley NZ. Some people with kidney disease have to be careful about their potassium consumption because their kidneys may not be able to efficiently process high amounts of potassium, which may compound their problem. This implication is rare but should be discussed with your health practitioner if the condition exists.



What about iodine sensitivity?


People who are sensitive to iodine may want to consult their health practitioner before taking Pure Barley NZ. The kelp content in an 8.81 oz (250 g) bottle of Pure Barley NZ is minimal (up to 3 percent), and it is rare that such a small amount of kelp could effect anyone adversely. However, iodine is a fluctuating mineral found in soil, which can influence the level of iodine in the barley grass and the finished powder product.



Can folks with grass allergies take Pure Barley NZ?


On rare occasions, people with grass allergies may experience a reaction to Pure Barley NZ. If you are concerned about having a reaction or if you have had a reaction in the past, you may wish to consult your health practitioner before using Pure Barley NZ.

What does the chlorophyll do?

Is there a difference in the chlorophyll you buy as a supplement versus chlorophyll you obtain from natural sources like Pure Barley NZ?

Yes. It is impossible to isolate naturally occurring chlorophyll. Therefore, those supplements containing chlorophyll are not in the same form as one finds in live plants. Pure Barley NZ is an excellent way to obtain chlorophyll in its natural state.


Can I use Pure Barley NZ for fasting?

Yes, Pure Barley NZ is the perfect "food" for fasting. The protein content and complex carbohydrates provide stamina and energy for the body’s systems.


Can I make up a large amount of Pure Barley NZ and keep it in the refrigerator?

No, live nutrients are released when Pure Barley NZ is mixed with the proper liquids and should be taken no more than 20 minutes or so after preparation. When live nutrients are no longer protected either by fiber or by maltodextrin, they will begin to oxidize and "die." Pure Barley NZ should be taken immediately after preparation in order to receive the maximum amount of nutritional benefit.


Will taking Pure Barley NZ after or with meals hinder its effectiveness?

You can drink Pure Barley NZ anytime, but we suggest you take it alone so that your body can assimilate the full benefits of its properties quickly and easily without other foods being present to slow this process.
