I just came up with an easy & quick raw recipe after completing the Master Cleanse aka Lemonade Diet. Which I have to say has done wonders for me. I am guilty of being a starchitarian and gained weight which caused my back to ache horrificly every morning when I get out of bed. After the cleanse, I noticed I do not have any back pain and unnecessary weight just dropped off of me.
I am so thrilled that my back is not hurting. Now, I have to maintain by continuing to consume more raw foods than cooked starchy foods to have a balance. Also, for the New Year maintain an exercise regimen.
This recipe I made is a two in one shot. I am able to have a drink and a meal in one step. The recipe is called Carrot Parsnip Tuna Wrap with Tahini Dressing:
Ingredients:
1 lb. organic carrots(skin peeled)
1/2 lb. organic parsnips(skin peeled)
1 Stalk of Celery, diced
1 Tbl. dulse/kelp
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper(optional)
pinch S&P to taste
1 lemon, freshly squeezed
Nori wraps
Avocado slices
2-4 thin slices of 1 cucumber
sprouts(optional)
Tahini Dressing:
1/2 cup raw Tahini
1 lemon, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbl. Tamari sauce
Mix all ingredients well with a spoon until smooth and creamy.
In a juicer, add carrots and parsnips and juice. Remove pulp and place in a small mixing bowl. Add celery,dulse/kelp,garlic,cayenne, lemon juice and s&p and mix. Add 1-2 tablespoons of carrot/parsnip juice to mixure for moisture.
Take one sheet of nori, slice into 4 squares. Take 1 square and place a scoopof carrot tuna on sheet and spread. Add cucumber slices, avocado slices and sprouts. Roll nori and repeat the process. Dip rolls into Tahini dressing and enjoy.

Sick And Tired of Fake Diets?
There's nothing more frustrating. You just come off your six-week diet plan, feeling fit, healthy, and 20lbs lighter, and after just a month you're right back where you started. It's something that's happened to almost every dieter out there. After falling for the promises of the latest 'Hollywood' diet that promises the world and doesn't deliver, you begin to doubt that any diet could possible help you. Don't worry - there are diets out there that can deliver, and when coupled with a useful exercise regime, can provide massive amounts of weight loss success and health benefits to anyone that takes part in them.
Where are these diets? Well, they're not out there on the infomercials, for a start. These diets get by on results, not the false promises that have become synonymous with TV diets and exercise regimes. Instead of promising the world and delivering nothing, these diets promise results with work and surprise their users with long term, sustainable weight loss. There's none of that ultra-quick 'weight loss' that comes back within two weeks, just pure long-term scientifically proven weight loss for those with the energy, drive and determination to make it a reality.
Sound like you? Don't worry, this weight loss routine doesn't mean that you'll spend day after day jogging endlessly and drinking weight loss potions. It doesn't believe in miracle cures or cheating your body, instead it's designed by some of the most experienced and scientifically precise trainers in the world. This free report, compiled and written using some of the most important and experienced sources in the dietetics and nutrition world, is packed full of the strategies that make weight loss a reality, and great health a long-term lifestyle change.

Ever been cheated by an expensive, quick talking diet program? We hate those pseudo-diets as much as everyone else, and there's nothing we wish for more than an ultra-popular alternative. That's why this diet is so powerful -- it's everything that those 'miracle' diets aren't. Instead of starving your body and forcing yourself to drink vile weight loss concoctions, you can live relatively normally, with just a few small changes to your lifestyle and eating habits. Instead of forcing yourself into uncomfortable and unsafe positions at the gym, you can design a workout that works around your life, rather than a life that works around your workout. This free report is full of information to get you on the path to diet success, and it's a must-read for any potential dieter.

Natural Preventative Measures for Breast Cancer: What They Don't Want Us To Know!
VMxq7n0CuHqRqBRaOWVfRA==
By Monique Sharp
Start Today by being responsible for your own health and well being. You have the power to heal your body with your mind and what you decide to put into your body. Let's stop totally depending on someone else to heal ourselves.
Just think about it, if everyone knew how to heal themselves, where would the capitalistic medical field be today? Where would insurance companies be today, at least in the U.S.? Check out this video of why we cannot depend on our doctors and insurance companies to fix us:
We have been Bamboozled, like Spike Lee says.
One simple step to our self healing is not wearing a bra. This article reveals what bras are doing to our breasts:
This study revealed a significant link between bras and breast cancer that is three times greater than the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer! There was a 125 fold increase in breast cancer incidence between women who were bra-free and those who wore bras 24 hours daily. Wearing a bra over 12 hours daily conferred a 113 fold increase in breast cancer incidence!
Bras apply pressure to the breasts, especially to the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system consists of tiny, thin-walled vessels that drain from the breast tissue, removing toxins, cell debris, cancer cells, viruses, bacteria, and other products from the breasts. All of our tissues drain through the lymphatics, which is essentially the circulatory pathway of the immune system. However, unlike arteries and veins, these vessels have no internal pressure. As a result, they are easily compressed by external pressure (a bra, for instance) leading to the congestion of the tissues that would otherwise have been drained. When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes. This causes fluid build-up, swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatics. However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast.
Truthfully, bras are creating droopy, weak breasts...the breast relies on the bra for artificial support, the body loses its ability to support the breast by itself. This is why many women feel uncomfortable without a bra. What is the solution to breast cancer then? DON'T WEAR A TIGHT BRA! And maybe sleep without them. There is a remarkable success rate for recovery from fibrocystic breast disease within 10 days to two weeks of going bra-free. Many women have tried going bra-less and recorded a miraculous improvement in their health! Bra-burning is no longer a feminist issue...it is now a battle between life and death. We should make others more aware of the hazards of bra-wearing...please pass this e-mail on to everyone you know!

Now, do you think its time to take our lives into our own hands by taking natural preventative measures? Absolutely! And we start first with our mind by allowing only good into our body, our temple and soul. Here are a couple of action steps towards your self-healing:
* Eat high-fiber diet based on fresh fruits and vegetables, plus grains, legumes, raw nuts(except peanuts). Fiber keeps toxic wastes from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Eat vegetables raw or lightly steamed. If at all possible, consume only organically grown foods. Pesticides and other chemicals have been linked to breast cancer.
* Make a daily juice using a combination of fresh organic kale, dark green leafy greens, carrots and apples. The colon must be kept clean and the bowels must move daily for healing. Also, consider FASTING for 5-30 days out of the year. Your body needs a chance to get rid of all the toxins that have been consumed over the years.
* If you consume meat and dairy products, select organic, hormone-free products. Well-done red meat has been linked to a higher risk for breast cancer in some studies.
* Limit intake of fatty, charred, or grilled foods, which have been linked with a higher risk of cancer.
* Get regular moderate exercise can give life-long protection against breast cancer.
* Relaxation techniques such as writing, meditation, yoga and massage therapy can aid in battling breast cancer.
* It is important to examine your breasts each month at the same point in your menstrual cycle, preferably the first week after your menstrual period ends. Do not examine them during your menstrual period. Familiarize yourself with the normal feel of your breasts so that you can detect any changes such as enlargement of a lump. a woman who is accustomed to the way her breasts feels is better able to notice subtle changes.
