I am always reading all I can about food and nutrition and gardening and herbs. I have always believed that we are not necessarily pre-disposed for illness and disease. If we can keep our immune systems as strong as possible we can have a good chance of resisting those bacteria & viruses. It does get more difficult all the time, however, with so much electromagnetic energy always surrounding us, as well as unbelievable amounts of pollution including chemtrails. (If you don't know about the latter, pls google it). Anyhow, there are certain foods that help a lot. Miso is one of them. I have a cup of miso soup every morning, before coffee even. You may have had it in an Asian restaurant. It is fermented soybean paste. Sounds yummy, eh? But it really can be. It is very concentrated and salty so I scoop out a couple heaping tablespoons of it into a pyrex pitcher, pour very hot water on it, such as the stock I have already started to boil separately from vegetable waste (ie carrot ends, pcs of onions, celery, pcs of greens, parsley that is turning yellow...whatever) and then stir the hot miso now & then to dissolve it. When the stock is done I strain it into another pan and add some wakame. Wakame is a type of seaweed, or sea vegetable, that expands 7 times from the dried state. I get it at an Asian mkt and cut it into little pcs with scissors right into the broth. It is easy to use too much because it expands SO much. It tastes OK...not much taste, actually, but seaweeds are right off the charts for minerals like calcium and iron. Finally, I add the dissolved miso to the broth and after that I do not want to boil it or some of the enzymes are destroyed. I pour the soup into 3 or 4 qt mason jars so I have some for about a week or more. I usually freeze a couple of the jars but be really careful to fill the jar only 2/3 full for freezing AND leave the lid off. Otherwise, the glass will break. I reheat a cup of soup each morning or whenever. Most people would not want it before breakfast the way I do.
It was found after the bomb dropped on Hiroshima that the Japanese people who consumed miso regularly were protected from radiation. It has the amazing ability to remove some toxins from the body. I wish everyone would give it to their children from an early age for immune protection. Of course it can be used in many types of soups or dips as a flavoring agent (makes a killer onion soup).
Another wonderful food/medicine is the sweet potato. Yes, it helps remove heavy metals (which are everywhere - water, air. etc) from the body. Please boil (save that water for soup!) or bake your own and feed them to your children.
I forgot to mention in a recent post where I talked about the "limp tail syndrome" that my son's dog had suffered from after his cold dip in the ocean, that I think a good remedy would be to apply castor oil. Edgar Cayce used to recommend it for healing and Dr. Oz even mentioned it on a recent show. For humans he was saying it was helpful for pain. Apply it to the painful area (it is very thick), cover with plastic wrap(to protect everything near it)and then a heating pad. I intend to try it on my arm. I told Gabe to try it on his dog's tail.
I was also reading about vinegar and the many helpful uses for apple cider vinegar for dogs...for their coats, their ears, a bit in their food. It was very informative and I wish I had known more about it back when I had a dog.
Wow! Can you see the caterpillar in the picture? I just went outside to see if there was an herb interesting enough to photograph and noticed that my parsley was nearly all gone...and here is the culprit! Worth it though. It will become a beautiful swallowtail butterfly! I wonder where it will make its cocoon...have to research that.
I will write more in the future about herbs too. There are volumes out there on that subject and I could relate some personal experience. We need to know what to do to fight bacteria and viruses alternatively when antibiotics don't work. There is just so much to learn!
