NATURAL FOODS EXPO
Dearest Reader,
How blessed we are to live in this age. Humanity has progressed
through the time of the hunter-gatherer to the agricultural
revolution, and still further through the industrial era and the
technological advancements of the present day. Reflecting on the
world we live in, I am continually amazed by the awesome power of human
potential. We are beings with the ability to be or achieve anything we wish. We have
the air, water, land, and intelligence. We can learn, create or manifest almost
anything we imagine.
This power is not unique to certain individuals; it is present in everyone. Why, then,
doesn't everyone reach his or her fullest potential? Many of us have beliefs and
internal agreements that keep us from realizing our power-some of these we learned
consciously, and others influence us without our direct knowledge. We are subjected
to judgment, criticism, and we make agreements that these environmental influences
are true. They become beliefs to us, and we hold them tightly. We could be born in
an environment that believes if you don’t pray a certain way, the prayers won’t be
heard. We could be born in an environment that believes some races are better than
others, or one that holds an agreement that women aren't able to accomplish as
much as men. Don Miguel Ruiz writes about this idea very eloquently in his book
The Four Agreements. Once we identify the agreements we’ve made, we can begin to
decide which are truly ours, and which ones we can reject. We can make new
agreements to lead us toward lives of beauty and fulfillment-consider these from
Stephen Covey: For the body ~ assume you’ve had a heart attack: now live accordingly.
For the mind ~ assume the half-life of your profession is two years: now prepare
accordingly. For the heart ~ assume everything you say about another, they can overhear:
now speak accordingly. For the spirit ~ assume you have a one-on-one visit with your
Creator every quarter: now live accordingly.
Health advocates often say we are what we eat, but I would like to offer that we are
our words and actions, which reflect our internal agreements and deepest beliefs. You
can use your thoughts and words to create an infinite abundance of all you ever
imagined in life. Remember that the infinite reserve of your potential can manifest
your thoughts and feelings, both positively and negatively. Just as you are able to
achieve anything you believe you can, you are also able to hinder your own
achievement if you believe you can’t.

Think of the awesome power of your word. Ruiz describes language as being almost
magical, in that it can be used to create beauty or, when used malevolently or
carelessly, can create ugliness. What do your words say about you? If you squeeze an
orange you get orange juice. If you are squeezed from stress, what comes out of your
mouth? Is it doubt, disbelief, fear, insecurity, hatred, jealousy, or anger? Or do your
words reflect love, understanding, compassion, and confidence in what you were
born to be?

Today, I ask you to let go of the agreements that have kept you from being someone
or doing something truly great. Let go and allow your soul, the source of your real
power, to fulfill its ultimate calling. It doesn’t matter what has happened in the past,
how old you are, or what mistakes you've made before-your past has nothing to do
with your grand potential. I want to leave you with a quote from Brian Tracy: “The
potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored,
a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward some great good.”
I urge you- start sailing, and marvel at the beauty you are able to create.

GOOD WORKS:
The Beauty of Shea
by Lisa Andrews
DR. BATMANGHELIDJ
Get inspired! Servant leadership can be contagious.
In this portion of A Grain of Salt©, we introduce
inspirational people who are making a difference in
the lives of others in hopes that it will inspire you, our
readers, to find ways to make your own
contributions. Know someone you’d like us to
feature? Call 800.867.7258 and tell us about them.
“It is chronic dehydration that causes
the pains and degenerative diseases of
the human body.” With these words,
Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D. Dr. Batman for short - changed the face
of alternative medicine. Like Dr.
Semmelweis and other free thinkers
that came before him, Dr. Batman
faced a great deal of criticism in his
lifetime for what many thought were
radical ideas about healthcare. Strong
in his convictions, Dr. Batman devoted
his life to the study of the link between
dehydration and disease. He practiced
medicine in The United Kingdom
before returning to Iran where he was
instrumental in the development of
hospitals and medical centers. He also
established a number of sport projects
for the advancement of youth in the
country, including the construction
and management of the first ice skating
and sports complex in the Middle East.
After the Iranian Revolution in 1979
Dr. Batmanghelidj was placed in the
infamous Evin Prison as a political
prisoner for two years and seven
months. With limited access to
conventional medication, he discovered
the healing powers of water while
treating more than 3,000 fellow
prisoners who suffered from peptic
ulcer. He considered this environment
as an “ideal stress laboratory” and
began extensive research into the
medicinal effects of water. Dr.
Batmanghelidj discovered that a careful
regimen of water drinking could
prevent, relieve and even cure many
painful degenerative diseases that are
today treated with drugs.
After his release from prison in 1982,
and a harrowing escape over the
mountains
into
Turkey,
Dr.
Batmanghelidj went to America. At the
University of Pennsylvania, he
immediately continued his research
into the role of water metabolism in the
human body, and the damaging effects
of dehydration on human health. He
published and lectured extensively, and
presented scientific papers at US and
International conferences. He spent the
last 20 years researching the natural
healing power of water and
contribution
of
unintentional
dehydration as a cause of many
degenerative diseases. His ground
breaking book, Your Body’s Many
Cries for Water, has been translated
into fifteen languages and has sold over
a million copies.
In November of 2004, Dr. Batman
died unexpectedly of complications
from pneumonia after a trip abroad.
He was 73. The thousands of people
that he helped and the legacy he
inspired is reflective of the innovative
spirit with which he lived his life.
Thank you, Dr. Batman, for being such
an inspiration!

Work has surprising rewards. In fact, it
was through work that I met Selina
Delangre. We connected on a business
level concerning the sales and
promotion of goods that promote wellbeing, and particularly with products
that
provide
global
business
opportunities for all.
We both attended the Weston A. Price
Foundation
conference
near
Washington DC in 2003. After the
conference, a group of us piled into cabs
and went to a lively restaurant filled
with piano and song. Jordan Rubin was
there, among nearly a dozen folks
sharing dinner at one table. He had
completely recovered from a serious case
of Crohn’s disease and was powerfully
sharing his healing method. I had heard
that he essentially made a pledge to
never get ‘old’. I think what he meant by
that is that he never wanted to be worn
out by his own design, and if anyone
were to “never grow old”, he appeared to
have the bright confidence and
determination to do it. Selina and I sat
next to each other and shared stories and
ideas about natural food and healthy
living.
The next day, as we were all leaving for
the airport, Selina commented on the
chilly spring air. I happened to have a jar
of raw shea butter in my bag. I
mentioned it to Selina because I had just
heard that if someone suffered from
constantly feeling cold in situations
where others felt comfortable, that they
might be able to better regulate their

which was challenging for me since I had previously been
pretty much a “company guy”, towing the line and marching
in step.
This was an incredible turning point in my career. At that
moment, I realized that the vast majority of doctors don’t care
about hypnosis or any other potentially-useful treatments
outside the current “standard of care,” even in the face of great
data. They are locked into a “paradigm box,” only able to
consider those options taught to them in the paradigm of
their training, which focused on surgery and medications. I
hear them use phrases such as “There’s no evidence to support
that treatment," when in fact there’s overwhelming evidence,
but they’ve either ignored it or refused to look at it. Therefore,
I created a saying to help me understand the reactions I
encountered, and still encounter, from conventional
physicians: “All data will be ignored if it does not fit the ruling
paradigm.”
Since then, I’ve learned that advances in science, and
especially medicine, unfortunately tend to occur more as
revolutions than as evolutions. As outlined in the book The
Structure of Scientific Revolutions, new ideas are first ignored,
then ridiculed, then persecuted, and then finally accepted as
obvious, and as if they were the establishment’s own all along.
After this experience cracked the walls of my own paradigm

box, I became much more interested in what might actually
help a patient, rather than in how most other doctors would
treat that patient. This has, unintentionally, led me into a
field sometimes known as “Alternative Medicine.” I prefer the
terminology of “Integrative Medicine,” because I desire to
integrate whatever really works.
In my practice, our basic philosophy is centered around
maximizing vitality and improving the quality of life of our
patients. The approach of integrative medicine is to discover
the deeper causes of symptoms, illness, and disease. We
investigate and identify the fundamental deviations from
nature's template that have separated each individual client
from his or her own optimal health. Our experience has
shown remarkable success in achieving significant
improvements in the quality of life for our patients, even for
those who have failed to respond to other conventional or
alternative approaches. Using basic, powerful, safe,
innovative, and often natural techniques to improve
metabolism, we see a majority of our patients reverse their
diabetes, heart disease, obesity, fatigue, arthritis, and other
chronic illnesses. I encourage you to find integrative medical
professionals wherever you call home.

attempts to change the law and restrict the
options of both doctors and patients. This
is an example of why I encourage my
patients to stay informed at both the local
and national level, and perhaps even join
one of the organizations fighting to
preserve and expand medical freedoms. As
you may have heard, the price of freedom
is everlasting vigilance.
Integrative medicine has tremendous
potential to revolutionize the way people
think about the treatment of disease.
Dr. Andrew Weil, a visionary in the field of
integrative medicine, grew up learning about
herbal medicine from his mother. While in
medical school, he expected to learn more
about the tremendous healing power of
natural therapies, and became frustrated
when no such information came. His
experience highlights a critical problem in
standard medical training-doctors aren't
exposed to treatments that fall outside of
the conventional paradigm.
In 1994, Dr. Weil founded the first
comprehensive program in Integrative
Medicine at The University of Arizona.
Practitioners who enroll in the program are
taught the basic principles of integrative
medicine, a philosophy that neither rejects
conventional medicine nor accepts
alternative medicine uncritically. They are
trained to consider all of the factors that
influence health, wellness & disease, including
mind, spirit & community. The program has
also created a fellowship that trains
physicians, who will later initiate Integrative
Medicine curriculums at other institutions.
The work of Dr. Weil and others at the
University of Arizona's program in
Integrative Medicine is reflective of the
pioneer spirit that characterizes true
medical innovation. By

The Life
On August 13, 1865, 47-year-old Dr. Ignaz
Semmelweis died what can only be
described as a horrible, lonely death. Most of
his colleagues in medicine declined to attend
of a
his funeral, as did his wife and children.
was it that this highly educated,
Medical Pioneer What
compassionate man had done to brand him
by Dr. James Biddle
a lunatic and cost him his livelihood, his
professional reputation, and even his life?
His struggle began when, on his 28th birthday, he became an assistant to Dr.
Johannes Klein, the head of the Viennese General Hospital’s maternity clinic.
Semmelweis, who held a medical degree from the University of Vienna as well as
a master’s degree in midwifery, was appalled at the mortality rate in the clinic. At
one point in the clinic's shameful history, 11 of 12 maternity patients perished
from what was then called “childbed fever.” Unsatisfied with any of the current
explanations for the cause of childbed fever, Semmelweis began investigating the
deadly disease on his own. His research brought him to the conclusion that the
disease was caused primarily by decaying particles of flesh carried on the hands of
the physicians attending the doomed patients. In those days, it was standard
procedure for a doctor to go directly from the dissection of a cadaver to an
examination of a live patient. Semmelweis developed a chloride of lime solution
and insisted that the physicians in his section wash with it thoroughly before
working on a live patient. The mortality rate in his section dropped to almost zero.
Rather than embracing Semmelweis’ solution, many doctors actively tried to
discredit him. One prominent physician published a condemnation of chlorine
washing, arguing that the amount of infective material around a fingernail would
not possibly be enough to kill a person. Even though his findings were grossly
misinterpreted by the medical establishment and rejected by many prominent
physicians, Semmelweis continued to achieve dramatic success in surgical
procedures considered extremely dangerous by even the most skilled of his
contemporaries.
In 1856, the editor of a Viennese medical journal added the following words to
the end of an otherwise favorable report on chlorine washing by one of
Semmelweis’s assistants: “We believe that this chlorine washing theory has long
outlived its usefulness. It is time we are no longer to be deceived by this theory.”
Eventually, embittered by his rejections and full of despair over the lives lost to
childbed fever, Semmelweis began to deteriorate. He started drinking heavily and
spending time in the company of prostitutes. He published angry open letters
denouncing prominent obstetricians as irresponsible murderers.
An embarrassment to his colleagues and his family, Semmelweis was lured by a
friend to the insane asylum and held there against his will. When he discovered
that he was being committed to the asylum he attempted to escape, got in a fight
with the guards, and received the beating from which he would die two weeks
later. Ironically, the disease that killed him-blood poisoning-was one of the
maladies that had ended so many lives in the Viennese maternity ward where his
struggles had begun.
As disturbing as the Semmelweis story is, the appalling truth is that on a
fundamental level little has changed for the better in the medical establishment.
Certainly, surgical hygiene has improved greatly and the technology of medicine
has developed at an astonishing rate. But what about the attitude of medicine?
What about our objectivity and our ability to embrace new ideas? Are physicians
today any more willing to admit error than they were in the days of Ignaz
Semmelweis?

trans fats cont’d from 1
It is only recently that health practitioners have come to
realize the dangers associated with trans-fat. One problem is
that it is difficult for the body to process. It seems that
enzymes responsible for digestion cannot break down transfat, although the body devotes many reserves to
accomplishing this task. Enzymes become tied up in trying to
digest trans-fat, and are not available to synthesize other,
more valuable essential fatty acids. According to the Harvard
School of Public Health, consumption of trans-fatty acids
double the risk of heath attack, increases the risk of diabetes,
and is responsible for the deaths of 30,000 Americans
annually. Trans-fatty acids tend to raise total blood cholesterol
and LDL (the bad cholesterol) and lower HDL cholesterol.
Studies referenced by Udo Erasmus, author of Fats that
Heal, Fats that Kill, indicate that trans fats not only cause
heart disease, they also interfere with vision in children,
inhibit cerebral cortex function (lower intelligence), interfere
with liver detoxification, make platelets more sticky, correlate
with increased prostate and breast cancers, interfere with
insulin function, and complicate reproduction in animals.
They also could interfere with the beneficial functions of
good fats.
Knowing that not all fats are equal and where bad fats are
found is the first step to understanding food choices. Transfats are found in margarine, vegetable shortening, most
packaged baked goods, cereals and snacks. If you see the
words "partially hydrogenated vegetable oils" on the
ingredient listing of a food label, that product contains transfat. Recently, in the wake of several lawsuits, the FDA issued
a final rule that mandates trans fat must be listed on labels,
just as saturated fat and other nutritional components are.
However, this rule will not be fully implemented until 2006.
In the meantime, many manufacturers have taken the
initiative to begin labeling now, in the interest of influencing
consumers toward healthier options. Keep in mind that the
FDA rule doesn't account for all exposure to trans-fat.
Restaurant cooking oils will still represent a significant
source, and the consumer is typically is not aware of the kind
of oil their food is being cooked in. Be mindful of the choices
you make at restaurants, and don't be afraid to ask what type
of oil the kitchen is using.
Hopefully, this article has given some thought-provoking
insight into the dangers associated with trans-fat. As the
future of trans-fats in the consumer marketplace unfolds, we
will continue to keep you abreast and provide you with
information to help you make informed food choices!
See www.celtic-seasalt.com for more articles on trans fats and
how to cook with oils.
EAT FAT, LOSE FAT by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon
The healthy alternative to trans fats, this
revolutionary program explains why we
must eat healthy, saturated fatsespecially coconut-to achieve weight
loss and good health.
It's been drilled into Americans that fat
makes you fat, saturated fats (such as
those found in butter, eggs, and red
meat) are unhealthy, and tropical fats
and oils (like coconut and palm) are
downright deadly. And yet-as we
eliminate saturated fats from our diet
for fear of high cholesterol levels and
hardened arteries- obesity, heart
disease, and cancer rates have
continued to climb.
Based on more than two decades of
research, world-renowned biochemist
and fats expert Dr. Mary Enig flouts
conventional wisdom, asserting that
“healthy” vegetable oils (such as
soybean and corn) are in large part
responsible for our national obesity and
health crises, while the saturated fats
considered "harmful" are, in fact,
essential to weight loss and health.
6
World populations on four continents
that subsist on the coconut, with less
evidence of heart disease, weight gain,
or other chronic illnesses, provide the
best proof of this food's safety and
efficacy; dozens of studies conducted by
prestigious, mainstream universities
support the use of coconut and other
healthy fats and reveal the faulty
reasoning underlying the saturated
fat/heart disease hypothesis; and case
stories from a wide range of people
illustrate how using coconut oil in
concert with other healthy fats can
spark weight loss and heal serious
illnesses,
including
anxiety,
hypothyroidism, and chronic fatigue
syndrome.

that have harvested this shea butter for
centuries are wholesome people, known
for their robust health. They use shea to
care for their families and societies.
Shea is a mainstay both in their diet
and as a topical application. The
women’s associations that make this
shea decide collectively in groups how
best to use the funds to improve their
society. In one phone call, as those
things go, we were committed to
researching the potentially healing
properties of the shea as well as the
global business possibilities with the
women in Africa. We wanted to work
together in a way that is the definition
of well-being: the state of being healthy,
happy, or prosperous.
In many instances, those who are
passionate about pursuing a healthier
lifestyle are faced with the challenge of
finding the science to validate the
positive experiences they have with a
natural product. The shea is a good
example of this-when I am chilly but
others are not, I use the shea butter.
This has worked for me, for Selina, and
others I’ve shared it with, but I cannot
say definitively what gives the shea this
property. Although I am not a doctor (I
am a biochemist by trade), I feel it may
have something to do with shea acting
on the thyroid.
The thyroid gland acts as the body’s
thermostat, regulating the body’s
temperature. In fact, it controls the rate
of function of every cell and gland of
the body, including growth, repair, and
metabolism. The proper functioning of
the thyroid is dependant on iodine,
which is an important key to our wellbeing.
What I have understood so far is that
shea applied on the throat and on the
bottom of the feet could make a chilly
person feel warmer, mainly because
there are trace elements of iodine left
from the shea nut, in the shea butter,
which are absorbed into the
bloodstream. It may sound strange to
hear that applying shea to the bottom
of the feet could be beneficial! The
pores in the feet are 30-40% larger than
other pores of the body, so anything
applied to the feet is readily absorbed
into the whole body. Combining shea
butter with Celtic Sea Salt® creates a
unique synergistic effect-the Celtic Sea
Salt® scrubs away the dead cells on the
bottom of the feet and allows the
abundant minerals, vitamins and
nutrients to be absorbed. Pure shea
balm applied to the throat could
directly affect the thyroid, which is
located in the neck, behind the Adam's
apple. Iodine is absorbed into the
bloodstream and taken up by the
thyroid gland. The thyroid gland
produces thyroid hormones. The
thyroid is equipped with an active
system or “pump” for moving iodine
into its cells. This pump or ability of
the thyroid gland to transport and
concentrate iodide from the blood is
absolutely necessary for synthesis of
thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormone is
biologically available to the body only
when it has iodine. An adequate
amount of iodine is absolutely
necessary for the thyroid gland to
produce thyroid hormone.
I have only observed this effect in the
highest quality shea. It is important
that the shea is not “cut” with other
oils. The shea that I shared with Selina
that day in Chicago is defined by a high
level of quality control, and by its
superior biochemical make-up: with a
high percent of allantoids, a high level
of the special form of vitamin A (also
called retinol), vitamin E, and other
valuable nutrients required for healing.
This is the same shea that is used in
Global Blessings™ shea balms and
scrubs.
If science keeps pace with the public’s
growing interest in natural foods and
medicines, we are likely to learn more
about the undiscovered benefits of
things like shea butter. Until then, we
often rely on the enthusiasm and
passion that comes from individual
experiences to spread the word about
effective alternative health enhancers. I,
for one will continue to do my part!

HEALTHY
Eat breakfast It seems counterintuitive that skipping a meal would result in weight
gain, but many studies have proven that skipping breakfast is related to obesity in children
and adults. Many nutritionists say that breakfast is the only meal of the day that people
should eat even when they’re not hungry. A study published in the February 2005 issue of
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that those who regularly eat breakfast
had a lower incidence of weight gain and heart disease than those who didn’t. Perhaps those
who eat breakfast are less likely to overeat at lunch or dinner. It may also be that foregoing
breakfast in the morning results in rampant snacking during the day.
S N A C K I N G
“Grazing”, the idea of eating
many small meals and snacks
throughout the day rather than
a few large meals, is a topic that
is very much in vogue these
days. Many health practitioners
say that grazing is a good way to
stay in tune with your bodyeating only when you’re hungry,
and avoiding the tendency to
overeat, may offer significant
health benefits and result in
weight loss. After being told for
most of their lives that snacking
will make them fat, many
people are surprised to hear
health professionals advocating
grazing. The popularity of this
new trend reflects the idea that
it isn’t snacking in and of itself
that is unhealthy-snacking can
have a place in a healthy diet
regimen, if you remember to
consider a few key points.
Sleep Researchers at Stanford University and at The University of Chicago reported in
2004 that sleep loss may be related to weight gain. The reason? It appears that as few as two
nights of poor sleep increases production of a hormone that caused study participants to
crave more simple carbohydrates and other unhealthy snack foods. Additionally, the study
authors cited that those who stay up late are more likely to snack at night. On average, the
study found that those who regularly enjoyed adequate sleep (8-10 hours) were not as heavy
as those who did not get adequate sleep.
Be Prepared Just as you would plan breakfast, lunch or dinner, also plan your snacks.
When you leave for work in the morning, take a ‘snack pack’ filled with healthy, nutritious
options. Fruits and raw vegetables are always a good choice. Try to avoid high-sugar options
or snacks high in refined salt and fat. Also, cultured vegetables are a healthy snack that
actually curb your cravings for sweets.
Write it down Journaling what you eat each day can help you keep track of patterns and
identify times when you experience snack cravings. Several websites offer free online fitness
and diet journals that make recording and keeping track of daily choices easy-one such
example is www.fitday.com.
Above all, listen to your body. Snacking isn’t a bad thing if you really need a boost, but there
are often other reasons why people reach for a snack. Are you really hungry, or are you just
bored? Are there emotional reasons responsible for your snacking choices? If you find
yourself eating for reasons other than hunger, it’s important to identify the underlying
reasons behind these cravings if you are to overcome them. Instead of succumbing, take a
walk, call a friend, or do something that makes you happy.
Our mental and emotional diets determine our overall energy levels, health and well-being more
than we realize. Every thought and feeling, no matter how big or small, impacts our inner energy
reserves. - Doc Childre, The HeartMath Solution

recipe renovation
Welcome to our
second installation of
Recipe Renovation! In this
section of A Grain of Salt©,
we convert well-loved recipes sent in
by our readers to healthier, more
wholesome creations.We’re happy to
report that this has been a very
popular idea among our members,
and we’ve gotten several submissions
already. We can only choose one
recipe per issue, but please, keep
those recipes coming!
This issue’s winner was Sara Zignego
of Wisconsin. Sara & her mother are
both members of The Grain & Salt
Society® who love to bake, but
struggle with understanding how to
substitute for the unhealthy sugars
and fats that many recipes include.
She sent us a recipe for Oatmeal
Cinnamon Drops, a favorite cookie in
her family.
“My aunt is well-known for her
delicious oatmeal cookies. It would be
nice if there was a way to make these
with healthier ingredients and yet
keep them so yummy,” writes Sara.
Here are the original ingredients:
1 cup margarine
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp baking
soda
2 cups sugar
1 TBL molasses
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup raisins
1 cup chocolate
chips
2 eggs
2 cups oatmeal
2 tsp cinnamon
2 ¼ cups flour
For this recipe, we called in the help of Sabrina
Marie, a local writer, natural foods chef, and
culinary instructor. Sabrina was quick to point out
that deserts are best enjoyed sparingly, but getting
creative in the kitchen can go a long way to
making deserts healthier. For example, reheating a
fruit spread with a little water can make a delicious
sauce to use on cakes instead of frosting. She also
had some excellent helpful tips for Sara’s recipe.
“Most cookie recipes can have sugar decreased by
25% or more,”Sabrina said. “Consider decreasing
chocolate by half and adding nuts. As a mom, I
pack in the extras. I would probably add coconut
flakes and possibly chia seeds (soaked in water
first), simply for the added nutritional benefit.”
We eliminated the white sugar from this recipe,
instead opting for a small amount of rapadura
sugar combined with agave nectar. Agave has a
rich, sweet flavor reminiscent of molasses.
The original recipe called for margarine, which we
replaced with good old-fashioned butter. Most
margarine products are hydrogenated, which
means that they have been chemically altered to
increase shelf life and improve flavor.
Hydrogenated oils contain trans-fatty acids,
which, according to the FDA and countless
medical studies, has been shown to raise LDL
(bad) cholesterol and increase the risk of coronary
artery disease. Butter is a more nutritious choice,
and it tastes better, too!
We chose whole-wheat pastry flour for a light,
fluffy texture, and because it still retains the
nutrients & minerals found in the bran and germ
of the wheat. We used Celtic Sea Salt® for a
superior flavor, a higher mineral content, and
because it doesn’t contain bleaching agents, anticaking ingredients, or other synthetic additives. As
always, we chose organic ingredients whenever
possible, and used DHA eggs for their superior
nutritional profile.
Sara’s NEW & IMPROVED Oatmeal Cinnamon Drops
¾ cup softened organic butter
¹/³ cup agave nectar
¹/³ cup rapadura sugar
1 DHA egg
½ tsp real vanilla extract
1¼ cup organic whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp Celtic Sea Salt®
¾ tsp aluminum-free baking soda
1 tsp organic cinnamon
1 cup organic oatmeal
½ cup organic walnuts
½ cup grain-sweetened chocolate chips
½ cup organic raisins
½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tsp organic chia seeds (soaked in 2 tsp water)
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, rapadura sugar, and agave
nectar in a large bowl. Add egg, chia seeds & vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together
flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and Celtic Sea Salt®. Gradually beat dry ingredients into
creamed mixture. Stir in oatmeal, chips, raisins, walnuts & coconut. Drop by
teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets, flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake
for 10-12 minutes, or until browned on the bottom. Enjoy!

RAPADURA
Rapadura sugar is the dried whole
natural juice of the sugar cane. It is
never separated from its molasses
content, thus it retains all the
vitamins and minerals available from
sugar cane. Use Rapadura measure

refined sugar. Rapadura has a richer,

sugar.

PROBIOTIC PICKLES
by Bill Hettig
Our digestive tract is very much like a
garden. When it is healthy, there is a
diversity of life: plenty of vitamins,
exploring the
minerals, roughage and water-just like
well-mulched, organic, composted
many uses of

with microbes that assist in

decomposing organic matter. When
world and
your intestinal garden isn't healthy, it
through history
resembles a poor garden: both lack the
beneficial microflora necessary to
optimally
assimilate
nutrients.
Undesirable plants that we call 'weeds'
might grow. Similarly, yeasts, molds
and pathogenic overgrowths may
occur in a poorly kept inner garden,
leading to dysbiosis and disease.
Colonies of probiotic bacteria within
our bodies provide us with a long list
of benefits-they synthesize vitamins,
produce their own antibiotics, lower
cholesterol, help control fungal overgrowths, and more.
One way to cultivate your inner garden and provide your
body with the probiotic bacteria it so desperately needs is to
make your own pickles. Pickles are a fermented or cultured
food. They may also be called live-cultured foods, or
probiotic foods. Although cucumbers are what we are most
familiar with, you can pickle almost anything. Homemade

THE PERFECT PICKLER
Pickled vegetables, also known
as live-cultured foods, are alive
with probiotic bacteria that
offer a wide array of health
benefits, including improved
digestion, enhanced immunity,
and
improved
intestinal
health.
Live-cultured vegetables are a
part of the diets of many of
the world's most long-lived
people. Adding cultured
vegetables to your diet is easy
and inexpensive with the
Perfect Pickler. The Perfect
Pickler works through a lowsalt fermentation method that

raw cultured vegetables have a certain zing that you can feel
on your tongue-not a spicy zing, but almost a carbonated
bubbling. Think of a very tart pickle right now-doesn't your
mouth water even as you read?
Traditionally, pickled vegetables are salt-cured. Salt can
mean the difference between pickled vegetables and those
that are just plain rotten. I have found the most success using
Celtic Sea Salt®. Celtic Sea Salt® acts like a battery, charging
the pickling concoction and allowing the beneficial microbes
to create enzyme-rich superfoods. Pickling with other salts
can also result in a harsh, metallic taste to your vegetables.
Celtic Sea Salt® causes the liquid to come out of the cells of
the vegetable you're pickling. As the liquid is drawn out, the
pickling process begins. The vegetables become soft and more
digestible as the beneficial microflora thrives. After only a few
days, they're ready to eat! Pickling vegetables at home is a
tasty way to get your daily dose of probiotic bacteria, and it's
much cheaper than probiotic supplements at the health food
store!
Pickling vegetables is simple and easy. Old-fashioned
methods used open crocks of brined vegetables that need to
be cleaned and cared for daily. Today, you can buy a selfpressurized pickler that doesn't need much care of attention.
I use the Perfect Pickler (see below). It only takes 5-10
minutes to add your ingredients to the pickler. Then, watch
them bubble and transform into pickles as they sit on your
countertop. It's fun to experiment with different
combinations of vegetables and spices-you can make garlicky
dill pickles, peppercorn sauerkraut, pickled onions, or
anything else you can dream up. Happy pickling!

Cooking with the Ohsawa®
Pot
by Jean Richardson
The allure of cooking in earthenware is
likely to be based on our intuitive
understanding of what’s good for us. The
superior taste of foods cooked in nonmetallic earthenware is not imaginary.
The ceramic material of the Ohsawa® Pot
is non-reactive with food. Unlike metal, it
is chemically stable, allowing the food
cooked therein to remain pristine and
retain its natural flavor. Metal cookware is
reactive: it releases metallic ions into the
food, contaminating and diminishing its
natural taste, aroma and color.
Grains, beans stews, even steamed bread
and vegetables taste better than ever when
you cook them in an Ohsawa® Pot. This
covered stoneware casserole, designed to
be used in a pressure cooker or stock pot,
cooks food evenly without scorching.
Brown rice, for example, cooks up fluffier,
sweeter, more digestible, yet still slightly
chewy. And the Ohsawa® Pot is userfriendly: It’s stove-to-table; has a rope
handle for moving it to and from the cook
pot, and built-in legs so no rack is
necessary in the cook pot. High-fired and
lead-free, each pot is individually hand
thrown and carefully detailed by the artist.
Traditional rice cooking methods utilize
heavy, thick-walled pots that transfer heat
slowly and evenly. Herein lies the secret
to cooking really delicious rice. Modern,
thin-walled pots are designed to transfer
heat quickly and efficiently, but they lack
the deep, radiant, even-tempered heat of
earthenware. The Ohsawa® Pot produces a
radiant, penetrating heat that contains a
high proportion of far-infrared heat
waves. This is the same kind of heat that
comes from the sun, warming the earth
even on overcast days. When these rays
penetrate food, it has a wonderful effect: it
transforms ordinary foods into the most
delicious you have ever tasted.

What is Ayurvedic Skin Care?
"Every person is born perfect. Inferiority is a mistake of the mind, a cloud
covering the light. Dissolve the clouds by observing a balanced life with
healthy habits. Nourish your mind and body. Connect with your own
inner self. Celebrate your own magnificence and your beauty will always
shine through."
Dr. Rama Kant Mishra, renowned Ayurvedic physician and
dermatologist
Ayurveda is a 5000-year-old way of life thought to have originated
in India. Many modalities of alternative medicine have roots in
Ayurvedic principles. The term Ayurveda comes from two Vedic
words- 'ayus', meaning life, and 'veda', meaning knowledge or
science. The term 'ayurveda', then, means the science or
knowledge of life. Ayurveda is essentially a system of balancing the
body, mind & soul to produce a state of wellness. Ayurvedics see
the world as composed of five basic elements-space, air, water, fire
and earth. The balance of these five elements results in healthimbalance results in disease. Within the body, the five elements are
represented as the tridoshas-vata, pitta, and kapha.
VATA is the dosha primarily composed of air and space,
responsible for movement, circulation, and related functions.
PITTA is fire and water, and is the dosha of metabolism and
transformation.
KAPHA is composed of water and earth, and is the dosha that
regulates growth and promotes structure.
The tridoshas vata, pitta and kapha also represent three distinct
skin types. Vata skin has small pores, is dry, may be wrinkly, and
is often thin and papery. Kapha skin has large pores, is thick, is
often oily, and can be prone to blemishes. Pitta skin is sensitive,
delicate, may have moles or freckles, and can be fair-toned.
Ayurveda emphasizes treatment of the individual, and shies
away from offering generalized treatment regimens. Each
individual should customize his/her skincare regimen not only to
their body type, but also to their environment and the seasons.
That being said, there are some general principles for healthy
skin that apply to everyone. Here are some tips from the
Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Practitioners for healthy skin in
the springtime:
·To help reduce ama (toxins), you should increase the
consumption of foods that support the detoxification process.
Eat lots of leafy green vegetables, brussels sprouts and white
daikon radish. Also increase whole grains like wheat, barley
and quinoa and alternate them in your diet.These vegetables
and grains contain plenty of water-soluble fibers that aid
detoxification.
·Make sure you drink lots of pure water. Sip warm or room
temperature water during the day.To help purify your skin, add
sarsaparilla or fennel seeds to your water.
·Since springtime is kapha by nature, you need to balance this
dosha by avoiding heavy, cold and oily foods and by reducing
the sweet, sour and salty tastes. Following a light, warm and
nourishing diet also helps reduce ama (undigested food) and
support the detoxification process.
·The release of toxins cannot happen without proper
elimination. If you are prone to constipation, add cooked
prunes and figs to your diet, and eat lots of sweet, juicy fruits.
Deep breathing is also important," says The Council, "as is
regular exercise. A brisk walk can increase your metabolism,
enhance the detoxification process and improve circulation to
the skin.The fresh air and a little sunshine will also refresh your
complexion and uplift your mood."
Ayurveda is a holistic system that has implications for almost every
aspect of life. One such implication is dermatological health.
Ayurvedics view the skin as the external reflection of health and
wellness. Treating problems of the skin doesn't involve the
application of medicated creams, chemical peels or Botox
injections-believers in this philosophy understand the skin to be
many layers thick, and problems thus are rooted not on the skin's

Tips for a Healthy Cup of Joe
by Carolyn Carnahan
Legend has it that coffee was first
discovered by a goat herder in
Ethiopia who, upon noticing that his
herd became friskier after eating the
red berries of a local shrub, began
experimenting with the berries
himself. Today coffee is one of the
world's
largest
international
commodities, with US retail sales
alone of 70 billion dollars. Many of
us regard coffee as somewhat of a
guilty pleasure, but is a little coffee
really such a bad thing?
Over the past few decades, over
19,000 studies have been done
analyzing the effect of coffee on
health. Many of those studies have
been favorable-some even indicating
that coffee may be effective in
reducing the risk of colon cancer,
Parkinson's disease, and diabetes.
Additionally, coffee is known to
elevate mood, enhance alertness, and
suppress the appetite. "Overall, the
research shows that coffee is far more
healthful than it is harmful," says
Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research
scientist at Vanderbilt University's
Institute for Coffee Studies, which
conducts its own medical research
and tracks coffee studies from around
the world. "For most people, very
little bad comes from drinking it, but
a lot of good."
Nevertheless, there are some health
risks associated with excessive coffee
consumption. Most doctors advise
that pregnant women and those with
sensitive stomachs, anxiety issues, or
Gastro esophageal reflux disease
(GERD) avoid coffee. In addition,
some studies have correlated coffee
consumption with an increased risk
for arthritis and heart disease.
20
If you're a coffee drinker, there are some things you can do to make your java jolt as
healthy as it can possibly be:
1. Always buy organic coffee. Coffee is
one of the most heavily sprayed
agricultural crops, and is almost never
grown in the United States. Coffee and
other crops are often subjected to what
has been termed the 'circle of poison', in
which pesticides banned in the USA find
their way into the food supply through
imported products.
2. Grind fresh beans-ground coffee goes
rancid quickly (sometimes within 24
hours!) and should be avoided.
3. Don't drink coffee that has been on the
burner for a long time. Coffee can burn in
its liquid form, and is usually freshest
within 15 minutes of preparation.
5. Use good water. Coffee is 98-99%
water. Fresh, cold water contains more
oxygen, resulting in a fresher-tasting cup
of coffee.
6. Consider cold brew preparation. Cold
brew technologies, like the Toddy, reduce
the acid content of coffee by as much as
67%. In a side-by-side test of Starbucks'
regular blend, the Toddy version had a pH
of 6.31 and 40 mg of caffeine, while
Starbucks store-brewed had a pH of 5.48
and 61 mg of caffeine (lower numbers on
the pH scale denotes more acid).
Following these tips will help you enjoy a
more healthful cup of joe. Also keep in
mind the golden rule of wellness: in
coffee as in all things, moderation is key.
4. Use unbleached filters whenever
possible. Bleached filters can often impart
a papery taste, and may also leach
harmful chemicals into your morning
brew.
Drink to your Health
Are you frustrated with trying to lose weight? Have you tried to watch what you
eat and exercise, but don't seem to get the results you expected? Maybe the
problem is in a place you never thought to look-your to-go cup. What you drink
might seem like an insignificant part of your diet, but can actually make up a
shocking percentage of your daily calorie count. For instance, did you know that
those yummy Strawberries & Crème Frappuccinos from Starbucks® have the same
number of calories as three cheeseburgers? Or that a strawberry smoothie from
Baskin Robbins® packs in a quarter pound of refined sugar? A "big gulp" soft drink
from 7-Eleven® contains 600 calories! That's 30% of the recommended allowance of
calories for an entire day. Unbelievable!
Try to give as much thought to your beverage choices as you would your food
choices. For example, choosing the smallest size when ordering soft drinks can
make a big impact-the difference between a small and a supersize Coke® is 260
calories. Many people find that carrying a bottle of water, green tea, or healthy juice
at all times eliminates cravings for other, less nutritious choices.You might also try
keeping a diary of everything you eat or drink for a few days-this could help you
understand how much of your daily calories are coming from beverages, and how
much might be coming from other sources.

WHAT’S A TODDY?
Who Gives a Hill of Beans?
LARRY DOES!
As important as high-quality beans are to your cup of
coffee, it's what you do with them that counts the
most. The Toddy system yields a pure, low-acid coffee
concentrate that can be added to hot water or used to
make iced coffee beverages. Several leading coffee and
tea houses, including Seattle's Best, Barnie's, Gloria
Jean's and several hundred others throughout the
world, have used Toddy's cold brew coffee system to
develop and make their best-selling cold coffee
drinks. The Washington Post has deemed the Toddy
"the ultimate coffeemaker." In a world awash in whizbang gigets and gadgets, why is this decidedly lowtech system enjoying mainstream acclaim and favor?
One reason could be the taste. The Toddy extracts the
delicious flavor from coffee beans, but leaves behind
undisrable bitter acids and fatty oils. The result? A
pure, natural, low-acid coffee concentrate served to
taste simply by adding water, milk or cream.
Another reason could be that Toddy coffee is
healthier. The Toddy represents a solution for coffee
lovers who suffer from acid sensitivity or elements of
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease. Independent lab
tests show that Toddy coffee has an average of 67%
less acid than coffee made by hot brew methods - so
it's easier on sensitive stomachs.
A good cup of coffee is one of life’s great pleasures, but who knew
that it also had the power to change the world? Larry’s Beans began
out of one man’s quest to “go to crazy lengths to find the best
coffees in the world and roast them with precision and artistry.”
Later, Larry became a founding member of Cooperative Coffees,
the first and only group of independent coffee roasters to buy
organic, fair-trade, shade-grown beans directly from Fair Trade Coops. Over 70% of the world’s coffee comes from small, independent

Juice:
Follow Nature’s Way
A Nutritional Powerhouse
Biotta was started more than four decades ago by Dr. Hugo
Brandenberger in a Swiss village near the Rhine River. Dr.
Brandenberger, a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming,
had a mission to share with as many people as possible his
profoundly simple message,“Follow nature’s way.” It was this
message and his vision for the future of organic farming that
rooted Biotta Juices in quality- from planting to bottling.
Dr Hugo Brandenberger and Dr. Rudolf Breuss
Juices are energizing, nutrient-dense superfoods capable of delivering
an amazing amount of vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients in a
small volume-they are a highly concentrated bang for your nutritional
buck, and a great way to get in your recommended daily allowance of
fruits and vegetables. It's important to remember that not all juices are
created equal. Most juices are highly sweetened, conventionally grown,
highly diluted, and are essentially little more than sugar water. These
products aren't too much more healthful than a soft drink, and
shouldn't even be called juice. Those who make real juices a part of
their regular diet report increased energy, better skin, and improved
digestion, among many other things.
Whole, fresh juices are also the basis of juice fasts. In the true
meaning of fasting - to abstain from all food and consume only water juice fasting is not really fasting but rather another way of eating, a
special diet for detoxification and healing. Fasting is the single greatest
natural cleansing program. It can be the foundation of health and
healing and it is nature's "universal" remedy. Every traditional medical
system around the world has developed clear and precise guidelines for
fasting. If you're considering a juice fast, first ask yourself what the goal
of your fast will be. The type of juice you choose should reflect your
individual needs and health concerns. The amount of juice you
consume and the length of the fast should be carefully decided by your
general health, body weight, lifestyle, sensitivities and other individual
factors. There are many good books to inform and assist in these
choices (see recommendations at the close of this article). However, no
fasting ever should be undertaken without first seeking the advice of a
health professional and without continued monitoring by a health
professional.
Whether you're adding juice to your nutritional regimen or
considering a fast, juicing fresh fruits and vegetables at home is optimal.
Unfortunately, many people just don't have the time. If you plan to buy
juices rather than make them at home, carefully read the labels. The
next time you go to the grocery store, survey the juice aisle. You may be
surprised how difficult it is to find the good stuff-the shelves will be
filled with the super sweet, diluted imitators mentioned earlier. Don't
be intimidated by the price tags of real juices-if you buy a cheapie, it's
likely to contain only a small amount of actual juice. Make sure to buy
whole, undiluted juices to get the nutritional punch you're looking for.
Because juices are highly concentrated, it's important to look for those
made with organic fruits and vegetables. Additionally, don't purchase
juices that have added sugars or artificial sweeteners. Following these
tips will help you select a high quality juice-your body will thank you!

Unlike many juices, Biotta juices are cleaned using no
detergents, pressed in temperature-controlled presses, and
lactofermented. Lactofermentationis a natural preservative
method that protects the natural taste of the vegetables
without high heat sterilization or chemical preservation.
Biotta juices are ideal for use as nutritional supplement and
juice fasting.
A leader in organic farming worldwide (with more than 1700
acres of land under their care: 600 acres in Switzerland, 900
acres in Germany, and the balance divided between
Northern Italy and Israel), Biotta has amassed extraordinary
knowledge about growing and bottling organic juices. Biotta's
organic growing practices are also carefully authenticated by
Bio-Suisse, an independent certifying organization.
Rudolf Breuss was a healer from Austria, an educated man
who had an incredible understanding of, and love for, his
fellow human beings. Born in 1899, he turned his attention
to finding an alternative and more gentle treatment for
cancer and other diseases than that offered by conventional
medicine. It was a simple German book written over 300
years previously that expounded the value and use of fruit
and vegetable juices which was to capture his attention and
direct his work for the rest of his life.
Breuss maintained that cancer, whenever it occurs in the
body, feeds and grows from protein. He therefore deduced
that if one fasted for what has now been confirmed as an
ideal period of 42 days, during which various herbal teas and
juices are taken to detoxify, cleanse and eliminate, the cancer
would starve, be absorbed and subsequently pass out of the
body one way or another. Radical thinking that flew in the
face of the accepted medical wisdom, but is now used all
over the world and known as the Breuss Total Cancer
Treatment.
Raw fruit and vegetable juices have always been used and
recommended in natural medicine as part of the healing
system for many ailments and chronic complaints. Raw juices
contain antioxidants and living enzymes that science has
identified as an imperative part of everyone's diet if they
wish to stay healthy and maintain a defense against all the
toxins of today's environment.

Agnes’ Very Very Bagles- Organic Bagels to
Bake at Home, a dream come true. As a
child, Agnes helped her grandmother
(Adriana Petranella Cornelisse-Dob) bake
beautiful breads. “I learned the art of mixing and kneading, punching
and forming, and, while the dough rose, we played double-nine
dominoes.” In 1994, at her bake shop in Colorado, she developed a
bagel that could be baked fresh at home without the fuss and muss of
flour flying and finicky yeast not rising, kettles of water boiling over. “I
was a baker with a dream. My small bakery couldn't keep up with the
demand for my experimental frozen bagels, so I wanted to expand.” As
with many innovative businesses, financial restraints stood between
Agnes and her dream.
After a venture capital deal went sour,Agnes moved to Charlottesville,
Virginia and persued her bagel dreams anew. “I finally found a way to
produce a traditional kettled bagel that could be stabilized in its plump
shape without being baked.When the time is right, it is baked into an
aromatic, fresh bagel-all natural and organic!”
New York style organic bagels that bake fresh in 12 minutes. Winner
of "Top 10 NY Bagel" by Willard Scott of NBC Today Show-- crispy on
the outside, chewy on the inside-- fresh when you want them fresh,
anytime. Bake at 450F, right on the oven rack (toaster ovens, too), until
rich golden brown about 12 minutes. Gotta love'mmm. Bake'mmm(R)
Bagels are organic, fat free, dairy free, vegan, kosher and unmessed
around with. Agnes' Very VeryTM gives you a reason to fall in love with
frozen bagels again. Shipped frozen to arrive cold. Unpack to the
freezer or refrigerator.
