Dietary Evolution: Spring Cleaning!

Heavy on meat and grain, the average diet built up residues of plaques in the brain; created imbalances in the bacteria of the gut, and blocked the natural function of the pineal and pituitary glands. 
While I won’t go into great detail here about the various causes of these systemic imbalances I do want to talk about some remedies that we can use to clear the endocrine system and be healthier. 
The added benefit of clear mystical perception is a by product of a balanced, healthy mind/body. While I won’t go into great detail here about the various causes of these systemic imbalances I do want to talk about some remedies that we can use to clear the endocrine system and be healthier. 
Typically, before you can be healthy, a period of cleansing is needed. Your cleansing will be supported by both spiritual and supplementary methods. We first begin by abstaining from alcohol and antibiotics. These will counteract the benefits of the probiotics. 
You can then start adding more green leafy vegetables to your diet. Most recommended are: Kale, spinach, collard greens, Swiss chard and algae, particularly chlorella and spirulina (for me algae is my vitamin, I take several grams a day and I highly recommend Sunfood brand). You may want to expand your palate by learning to work with some foods you may not be familiar with. Along with greens, try couscous, barley, spelt, seaweed, chia seeds, flax seed, cacao nibs (raw). Many of these are superfoods and immensely healing for the body and, most particularly, the brain. Few of these are part of the typical diet. But we need to be comfortable moving away from the typical. We no longer want typical results, right? 
Next, start supplementing your diet with fish oil, the recommended brand is Nordic Naturals. Capsules can be purchased at Vitamin Shoppes, either in store or online. Take 3 to 6 grams of fish oil a day, preferably with dinner. If you eat some fats along with taking the fish oil capsules it reduces the likelihood of suffering with fish burps, or acid reflux from the fish oil.  Try this for a few days and give yourself time to adapt to the fish oil before going to the next step. 
Second, begin a program of probiotics. Before starting probiotics I am using a dose of S Bulardii to clear myself of any yeasts or unwanted bacteria. The dose method itself os of great importance. Any brand of live culture capsules are fine. You will grow your own culture to use. 
To grow a S Boulardii culture: Take about 2 cups of fruit, cut it up and boil it for 20 minutes to remove any micro-organisms. Then allow to cool to room temperature. Ideally do this in a warm room. After the fruit cools, place it in a bowl, open a capsule of Bulardii and sprinkle it over the fruit, cover with a cheese cloth allowing some air to circulate, and leave on the counter overnight. 
The Boulardii will multiply in the fruit compote. Take a few tablespoons of the mixture and eat lightly that day, take another few tablespoons before going to bed. Continue for 2 more days if you have symptoms. The Boulardii removes unwanted bacteria from the colon, the effect may be quite strong. 
You may feel flu-like symptoms from this, which is evidence the process of removing unwanted flora from the digestive tract is working. Once you have removed what you don’t want, we re-populate the gut with what we do want. Probiotics. 
The recommended brand is Ascended Health Probiotics, I am following a regimen of Active Detox Probiotic for 2 weeks with a maintenance of ProAlive for a month after that. These probiotics are expensive. They are handmade, not mass produced, and each order is created as it comes in. These aren’t made in a factory, they are made in a lab which explains why they take a little longer and cost more. 
From the time you begin taking fish oil to the day you take your last  Detox Probiotic will be about 3 weeks. in that time you will have rebuilt your intestinal flora and created a habit of taking fish oil. 

I’ll bet you feel better now?
