Autumn is officially in progress here in Southern California!
And with the cooler weather, the rain, more sniffles, aches and pains.

There are two answers to this: 1) 40 to 90 minute hot baths (101 to 105 degrees), with clay, salt, and vinegar, 3 T each, plus coconut cream and/ or milk, to draw off toxins and clean out the lymph system, and 2) pineapple with raw butter, cream, coconut cream! Especially when you do the bath.

“Colds” are often just the backing up of the lymphatic system due to congealing of cooked fats in the lymph. When the cold of the environment penetrates the body, it can really clog up. The stuff has to get out somewhere, and that is either the nasal system or the gut (flu symptoms). The bacteria and viruses are needed to help get the toxins out.

The baths, taken daily, help open the flows and help remove toxins through the skin too. The baths can be essential to losing excess weight too, for the same reasons! I could not lose weight until I started taking baths regularly.

Even the monkeys in Japan who live in snow take hot baths!

Cooked fats may be the worst thing ever. I have been amazed at the difference in washing dishes. When I wash the dishes from people who are cooking their food, and any fat has been involved, it is so stuck on the cookware and dishes that I have to use soap as well as hot water. With raw meals, all the fat just rinses off with hot water. There may be the tiniest bit left that can still be helped with the tiniest drop of soap, but coconut cream works just as well, and makes the glasses or jars shine!

I have to wonder: If the cooked fat is like that on dishes, how is it in our bodies? And we know the body cannot break it all down. That is the main problem with cooked food, is so many compounds that are not naturally made are created by heat, especially right where the food meets the pan, and we have no enzymes to break them down. We have to take extra enzymes or get bacteria in there to break them down. Or it gets stored until we have more enzymes, or can get bacteria to them, or ? We get fat.

In the 50s they used to put people in steam baths to get rid of fat. And use rollers to stimulate the circulation and try to get the fat back out of storage and into somewhere the body would take care of it.

Fats are necessary. We MUST have them. Essential. You cannot live without them. But they need to be raw, undamaged, and then they are good for you. The Keto diet is an example. Some people are so fat deficient (raw fat) that they get huge wins from eating high fat diets. Raw butter lubricates the joint, as does fat in the meat, milk. The plant fats mostly cleanse the body. They both have fats that our bodies cannot make, but must take in, for every cell wall in the body, for the protection of our nerves, for hormones that run our bodies, besides being a storage of energy.

Clean sources are very important, as so many bad chemicals are fat soluble. They are bad, because they hurt our essential systems like our organs, our nervous system, and, oh, yeah! Every cell in your body.

We live in such a chemical soup that most of us cannot even confront it. It is just too overwhelming to try. It’s in the air, the water, our food, and then we add to it with cleaners and air purifiers or deoderizers. We have scents in all our body products (because the rancid fats smell bad). They make our body odor nasty. Many people cannot even smell any more in defense.

One can reduce the obvious, not use any chemical deodorizers, drink clean water, filter all your water if you can, and eat clean food. We will be testing the eggs, cow milk and bison this coming week. So we will give you a report soon!
It has been a few years, but we do test to make sure our choices are clean.
What you put in your body is more critical than what is just around. That goes for injections too!

So eat well, make sure it is clean by personal inspection, research, or the recommendation of someone you trust.

Bon Appetit!
