Beiler Broth

Serves 1-2 Beiler Broth is a simple fasting or cleansing broth that is high in the minerals needed to support a liver or cellular detox. Drink it everyday if you like. I substitute spinach for the original recipe’s green beans, as I do not promote beans and legumes on a detox. Dr. Henry Beiler was [...]

Medicinal Liver Tea

A “medicinal” tea is a strong concoction of botanicals prepared specifically for therapeutic purposes. All seven of these herbs are known for their liver-supporting and detoxifying effects. Both roots and leaves are used, so special preparations must be made to accommodate both. (See cooking and nutrition tips below.) If you are taking a prescription medication, [...]

I’m hoping that my story will encourage you to consider this connection. If an infection isn’t treated appropriately by a dentist trained [...]

Raw Chocolate Fondue and Fruit Dippers

Serves 6-8 Tempering chocolate? Forget it… Just whip up this healthy dessert fondue in a food processor! Raw cocao is an unprocessed form of chocolate that boasts high levels of anti-oxidants and minerals. It is unheated cocoa that hasn’t gone through the trails and tribulations of processed bars and confections. Find raw cacao nibs and [...]

The Insulin and Cortisol Surge

Yesterday, my husband requested I buy a case of coconut juice to give us energy while working on our new house all weekend.
