Greetings!
NEW OPT IN NECESSARY if you want to continue receiving HealItAll Natural Wellness Newsletter.

This is the 6 Year Anniversary of this newsletter, which is great, but unfortunately I've recently had some problems with this newsletter program, which is why this issue isn't going out until August 3rd instead of the first of the month as usual. So, I've decided to send my newsletter out through AWeber in the future, because it has worked very well for my other lists, though I don't like their templates as much. Oh well, I'll just have to do my best with them.

If you want to continue receiving my newsletters, and I hope you will, you have to sign up again using the handy form you will find by clicking below where it says Sign Up For New Newsletter Here!

I hope to find many of you on my new list, but if you decide not to join us, I just want to thank you for being a loyal subscriber in the past. This will be the last issue for those who do not resubscribe. I hope you found some good information over the years!

To Your Health!

easy food combining Food Combining Made Easy
-
Have you heard the term "food combining?" It is all about eating foods that digest well together so you don't end up with indigestion and heartburn. The term has been around for a long time in health circles, but it can sometimes seem to be quite a complicated list of things that shouldn't be eaten together. However, it doesn't have to be complicated. Here is some simple advice about avoiding the biggest offenders, the worst of which are concentrated sugars and fats. Here is what raw food expert Frederic Patenaude has to say about it"

"The main combination to avoid is sugar and fat. Sugar being any type of sugar such as fruits, dates, refined sugar, or anything sweet. Fat includes oils, avocados, nuts, and any other type of fatty foods.

"The reason is that fat takes a longer time to digest, while sugar tends to digest quickly. When the two are mixed together in sufficient quantities, the sugar will ferment. Say hello to gas and bloating!" Who wants that?

The next combination to watch out for is starch and sugar. Because we tend to cook our starches (bread, pasta, pastries, potatoes), this will not apply to a raw food meal.

"This combination leads to a lot of gas and fermentation. Examples include: raisin bread, all pastries, all cakes, all cookies, and eating sweets after a meal!"

Just following those two rules can make a big difference in your digestion. Patenaude goes on to say, "You can understand the philosophy and science of food combining by understanding one simple idea: it's best to eat only one type of concentrated food at a meal.

"Concentrated foods include anything that's not a fresh fruit or vegetables, or anything that's high in fat. For example, bread, meat, potatoes, nuts, seeds, avocados."

Healthy vegan diet Can a Vegan Diet Be Healthy?
-
More and more people are trying vegan diets these days for both health and ethical reasons. Some people thrive on them and others lose their health. The difference is in how one approaches the diet. Judith Zimmer from High Energy for Life offers some excellent recommendations, the most important of which is:

"Get a full complement of nutrients. People on strict vegan diets tend to be deficient in vitamin B-12, iron, zinc, coenzyme Q10 and carnitine, nutrients that are abundant in animal-sourced foods. If you follow a vegan diet, it’s best if you work with a nutritionist to ensure that you are getting the correct amount of these nutrients in supplement form."

She also suggests replacing animal products with protein rich foods like quinoa, nuts, seeds, beans and tofu, and avoiding those tempting high-protein meat and cheese substitutes you find in natural food stores made of soy protein isolate, TVP, and all sorts of other concoctions that are neither whole nor natural foods.

Another common pitfall of the vegan diet is replacing animal products with too much fat or starchy grains. Ideally, fresh fruits and vegetables will make up the bulk of your diet, with small amounts of raw fats from whole foods like nuts, seeds, and avocados. Beans and grains are also wonderful in moderation, but they are not necessary for a healthy, balanced diet.

up your omega 3s by adding coconut oil How to DOUBLE the absorption of Omega 3's
-
Here's a cool way to get twice as much Omega 3 absorption, just take your Omega 3 (flax, fish oil, marine phytoplankton) with a little coconut oil. That what David Wolf says in this fascinating video. I wonder if that is why coconut oil is so effective in treating Alzheimer's disease. Maybe so.

Part two (you'll find the link below the video) is actually an entirely different lecture by Dr. Daniel Amen, who is a leading authority on brain health. It has nothing to do with the Omega 3 issue, but it is also really interesting, and he's a great speaker. Well worth watching!

Pineapple promising cure for cancer How Enzymes Might Help Treat Cancer
-
Pineapple may hold the key to curing cancer, or at least one of many keys. From Dr. Mercola's newsletter: "...A handful of natural compounds have been discovered, [ ] which exhibit an effect called 'selective cytotoxicity.' This means they are able to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells and tissue unharmed. This type of cancer treatment is intelligent, targeted and will not result in the death of the patient from 'collateral damage' in what is increasingly a failed war not against the cancer being treated, but the patient's own irreversibly devastated body.

"One such compound is bromelain, an enzyme that can be extracted from pineapple stems. Research published in the journal Planta Medica found that bromelain was superior to the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorauracil in treating cancer in an animal study. [ ] What makes this impact particularly impressive is that the bromelain worked without causing additional harm to the animals. The chemo drug 5-fluorauracil, on the other hand, has a relatively unsuccessful and dangerous track record despite being used for nearly 40 years."

Unfortunately, it may be awhile before Americans benefit from these discoveries. To quote from the article: "Now that we know this is possible, systemic oral enzymes have been used to treat problems ranging from sports injuries to arthritis to heart disease and cancer, particularly in European countries. But most of the research has been published in non-English language journals."
