This is such an important recipe in my life! Not only do I have it most days but I also rely upon it so heavily as I know it:

- Tastes great, smooth and creamy
- Gives me 4-5 serves of fresh, raw vegetables in one hit
I crave this stuff and urge you to try it and bring it into your life!

Itchy, irritating, uncomfortable, embarrassing and yet so easily prevented and so easily cured. Yeast infections can happen to anyone and everyone and it happens to 75% of us!
Your first thought might be to run to the chemist and take the liver-battering, blood-cell-killing, healthy-flora-stripping drugs to get rid of the yeast, but these drugs only mask the problem, they don’t make it go away for good, it will always come back.
But what if I told you there was a surefire, guaranteed way to not only get rid of the yeast infection now, but also to ensure that it never comes back? Sound interesting?

Hey all
As you may, or may not know - Dr Young is an incredibly prolific researcher and writer and each week he posts a number of blogs about alkalising, new research, feedback, answers questions etc. It’s an awesome read and a great way to keep your finger on the pulse of the most up-to-date health, wellness and alkaline lifestyle news!
I estimate that 30% of the questions I am asked each week via email are as a result of the blogs Dr Young makes and the points he raises, so each week I aim to summarise and comment on his output and give my opinions!

The chances are, you’ve probably never heard of colloidal silver.
If I told you that it was a completely natural antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-yeast, anti-bacterial that had zero side effects, enhanced your immune system, cleared up acne and other skin conditions and protected you against infection - do you wonder why you’ve never heard of it?
If so, read on…
The Natural Antibiotic That’s Better Than Antibiotics!
Colloidal silver is seriously not getting the press it deserves. This totally natural substance is probably one of the most important medical and scientific discoveries of the past 100 years, yet hardly anyone has ever heard of it. It really is the most important and versatile supplement on Earth.

This is a very special one that I discovered on my recent trip to Thailand. I took a Thai cooking lesson and couldn’t believe how alkaline the food was - and where it wasn’t - it was so easy to make more alkaline!
Tom Yum has always been one of my favourite Thai meals, nice and spicy and refreshing at the same time. What more could you ask for.
So here we go:

Another top scientific research journal has published findings that prove that the alkaline diet is beneficial to human health.
The article, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism states that compounds in alkaline-forming plant foods, help preserve bone and muscle mass.
The study (abstract here) was conducted by researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, in Boston, Mass.
Here is the context (background/reason) and objective of the research:
Context: Protein is an essential component of muscle and bone. However, the acidic byproducts of protein metabolism may have a negative impact on the musculoskeletal system, particularly in older individuals with declining renal function.

This is just a quick one (I think - we’ll see when I stop writing!) about a little tweak you can make that will have a huge impact on your enjoyment of alkalising.
When you are first starting with alkalising it can be difficult. You may find recipes hard to come by, you might struggle to know what to eat and end up eating the same things over and over again through fear of going wrong, you might feel like you’re missing out on certain flavours or you might just get damn bored.

Stressful events happen to all of us. We all feel stress.
Nobody wants to.
And while we can’t possibly have 100% control over the events that happen in our life, we can manage how these events affect us.
I can’t guarantee that your boss won’t suddenly tell you that you’ve got to present in front of 500 people tomorrow, on a subject you don’t know about, and your promotion depends on it - BUT I can guide you on dramatically changing the way your body processes stress and deals with stress. This much is absolutely in your control.

What a claim to make! But I make it with absolute conviction and certainty because I am getting emails every day from people on our Alkaline Diet Course who are finding their heartburn (and IBS, dry skin, weight problems, fatigue etc) clearing up within a week to ten days.
This is absolutely real. And it is just through dietary change. By simply applying the principles of the alkaline diet, acid reflux/heartburn is disappearing.
I have never experienced anything even close to heartburn since eating and living this way, but I had also never really examined the link between the alkaline diet and heartburn relief. It is really quite obvious.

Following on from last weeks blog post about the health benefits of chlorophyll, I thought it would be excellent to follow it up with one of my favourite juices - the Blood Builder.
This juice is absolutely packed full of chlorophyll and is incredibly highly alkaline.

Ingredients:
1 cucumber
2 large handfuls spinach
Handful parsley
1 stick celery
Handful of kale
Preparation
Simply wash all of the ingredients thoroughly, roughly chop and juice! To give it more of a fruity, less veggie flavour squeeze fresh lime or lemon in at the end.
