Arthritis by Djehuty Ma’at-Ra

The first Western disease I was ever familiar with as a little
boy was arthritis. My beloved paternal grandmother, Bertha
Cooper, suffered from this pathology for many years. She had it
very bad in her wrists and joints. I remember her asking me if I
would go to the corner liquor store on the corner of 101st
Street and Avalon Boulevard in Watts, California, and buy her
some Ben Gay, a white pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory rubbing
cream. She would rub Ben Gay on her wrists and joints and her
tendons as well.

As a little boy, I didn’t understand disease. I didn’t know how
my grandmother developed arthritis. All I knew is that she had
it (and claimed it too).

However, when the Universe leadingowed its Akashic Records of
health knowledge upon me in the late 1990s, I finally understood
why Grandma Sis (Bertha) developed and suffered from arthritis.
You see, my grandmother was originally from the South,
Mississippi to be exact. The ideal dinner was “soul food.” My
grandmother was an excellent cook and I never tasted any food
back in my deaf, dumb, and blind days and years that tasted
better than my paternal grandmother’s food/cooking. However,
while this so-called food, soul food, tasted good, I now
understand that taste is not the criterion or measuring stick
for what is healthy or nutritional. It was Grandma’s good
tasting soul food that did her in with arthritis and tendonitis.
Yes, all that cornbread, collard and mustard greens, salt pork,
candied yams, fried chicken, liver, catfish, pork chops, rock
Cornish hen, neck bones, ham, white rice, etc. eventually did
her (and the rest of my family members) in. Not to mention
eating all that white, refined Webber’s and Wonder bread, flap
jacks (pancakes), syrup and biscuits, bacon, sausages, jelly
cake, jelly sandwiches, saltine crackers, Vienna sausages,
potted meat, Spam, hog’s head cheese, liverwurst, etc. And what
about all that hot cocoa, coffee (laced with white sugar and
dairy cream), butter milk, pet milk, Kool-Aid, and soda pop that
she drunk?

She didn’t smoke cigarettes like her five sons, but she would
roll up her own smokes with Prince Albert brand tobacco and Zig
Zag paper. My childhood friends thought my grandmother smoked
marijuana. It was a little embarrassing until they found out
what it was she was really smoking.

I mentioned all of the above to let you all know that my
grandmother’s arthritis was caused by what she ate and drank on
a daily basis through ignorance, tradition, and habit.

All that meat converted into uric acid in my grandmother’s
joints and ligaments. The starches broke down into carbonic acid
and also made its way into her joints. And so did the lactic
acid from the brake down of the dairy products she consumed.

The smoking also created an over acid condition in my
grandmother as well. She also had bouts with gout, which is
nothing but arthritis in the ankle area.

You see, arthritis is a condition of inflammation of the joints.
That’s all it is. The Latin word “Arth” means “joints,” and the
English suffix, “it is” means “inflammation.” What is
inflammation? A burning! What causes this burning or
inflammation? ACID! Plain and simple!

Grandma Sis was lucky, eventually dying from degeneracy (that
doctors call natural death). However, her sons (and
daughter-in-laws, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren) were not
so lucky, dying from the insidious cancer, including my father
from lung cancer in 1994 and my mother from pancreatic cancer in
1999.

My family could not, would not, and to this very day, still will
not believe that what they put into their mouths cause their
pathologies and eventually kills them. It was easy to write me
off when I was a Muslim and member of the Nation of Islam in the
early 1990s, simply saying “that boy is mad at white folks and
the world!” But today as a Naturist, what’s their excuse?
Nothing but ignorance and traditional paralysis! Soul food is a
tradition, Djehuty! Yes, a tradition that leads to an early
grave!

One of the greatest contributors of arthritis is collard and
mustard greens. Sorry Black folks, Negroes, and soul food
lovers! But this is true! Greens are laced with “oxalic” acid
and this oxalic acid is greatly produced when you cook the
greens. This is true! And for you rat feces-laced chocolate
lovers out there, your precious chocolate also contains oxalic
acid.

Now, I don’t want you thinking soul food is the cause of
arthritis, because a lot of white folks, Mexicans/Latinos, and
Asians also suffer from arthritis. Like soul food, the Standard
American Diet will also cause arthritis. Arthritis is an
American disease!

If you understand arthritis, you should understand tendonitis
and gout. They are acidic fluid build up problems in the joints
that cause inflammation (pain).

Most modern day suffers of arthritis (and tendonitis and gout)
are fighting the symptoms of these inflammatory diseases with
pharmaceutical grade drugs. Even though God instructed Bible
believers to heal themselves with herbs (Revelations 22:2,
Ezekiel 47:12, and Pslams 104:14), in their strange obedience to
God, they take the enemy’s pharmaceutical drugs that prolong the
arthritis. Why and how? Because pharmaceutical grade drugs,
though made from alkaloids, eventually break down into ACID
(especially ascetic acid, which eats your red blood cells up) in
the body, and acid produces inflammation, so how intelligent is
it to take something to target the symptom which eventually
lengthens and worsen the initial condition?

Mother Nature has provided healing for arthritis and other
inflammatory diseases. To heal from arthritis, all one needs to
consume is certain herbs. Herbs that are anti-inflammatory in
nature are the highest to heal from arthritis. These herbs include
Meadowsweet, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Birch, White and Black
Willow Bark and Balm of Gilead.

However, other certain herbs work synergistically with the herbs
supra. Personally, no healing from arthritis can take place
efficiently without the following herbs: Devil’s Claw, Boswellia
(Frankincense), Uva Ursi, Mullein leaves, Saffron, Cayenne
pepper, Feverfew, and Guaiac wood.

Devil’s Claw, Boswellia, Uva Ursi, and Mullein are the paramount
arthritis herbs. They greatly counteract mucus, which is the
byproduct of acid, which causes inflammation.

Organic sulfur, commonly called MSM Sulfur, is also great in
healing arthritis. So is Noni juice!

You can make your own healing salve as well from a base butter
or oil such as shea or cocoa butter, coconut, olive, or almond
oil (or any other good oil) and add in a few drops (10-15 drops)
of the following essential oils: Peppermint, Clove, Wintergreen,
Eucalyptus, Birch, and/or Spearmint.

You can rub this salve directly on your joints or other problems
area. It is very soothing and healing.

And of course, as an herbalist, I have formulated my own Joint
Formula that consists of all the herbs mentioned above that is a
powerful little formula that works wonders for me when my wrists
start to hurt from excessive typing (typing up all that legal
pleading).

I can’t forget about magnet therapy as well for arthritis.
Magnets make a problem or injured area alkaline and also
enhances circulation to the problem area so that healing can
begin.

My good friend and brother, Mark Lomax, a musician, healed
himself from serious bouts of gout, another acid condition. It’s
been a few years now since he had gout. What did he do? First,
he detoxified his body on our Full Body Detox. Then, he did a
daily regimen of our Electric Greens Cell Food (pure
alkalinity), Joints Formula and Black Cherry Juice Concentrate.
You wouldn’t recognize this brother if you knew him 3 years ago.
He also lost major than 70 lbs on these herbs. This man is a
walking example of healing!

I should also mention the paramountcy of pineapple enzymes called
Bromelain for the healing of arthritis and other acid
conditions. Bromelain or pineapple enzymes are anti-inflammatory
in nature and effect and therefore provide healing for
arthritis. They taste just like candy and are chewable and you
can chew as much as you like, although 3-6 tablets after dinner
ought to get the job done. You can find Bromelain at most good
health food stores.

Soaking inflamed body parts in hot water and essential oils of
Peppermint and Eucalyptus is also beneficial for arthritis.

But most importantly in fighting arthritis is modified diet. Cut
out or cut down on meat and dairy products. These are two of the
biggest culprits in causing arthritis. A vegetable cocktail
consisting of celery, parsley, apple and/or carrot (for
sweetness and base) 3-4 times weekly will greatly remove acid
buildup in the joints. By all means, avoid all acidic beverages
(beer, soda pop, milk, orange juice, wine, coffee, etc.).

Man, life is so wonderful when you know how to heal and prevent
disease. The understanding of diseases is just as important.
Sometimes I’m full of grief and sorrow from my knowledge and
knowing that people suffer from a lack of knowledge (and
insanity too). See Ecclesiastes 1:18 and Hosea 4:6

However, the children of the future, including my son, Asim, and
daughter, Layla, and other Conscious Minds offspring – Nadya,
Najee, Elijah, Asar, Sunshine and the newest edition from Melia
and Obea, and the others (out here on the West Coast in Los
Angeles) will all benefit from this profound knowledge of proper
diet as well as from my suffering and grief, as well as their
parents. I’m also quite sure that many children around the
nation will also benefit from their parents’ reading and
applying this health information and knowledge that is freely
distributed.

As much as I loved soul food and my relative’s cooking back in
my death (Negro) days, you couldn’t put a gun to my head and
compel me to eat a piece of chicken or pork today, and I mean
that! I love myself too much to harm my temple of God. My
children are beautiful (and highly astute and precocious)
because of what their parents ate before and while conceiving
them. You can do it too!

Make the change people! Taste is not the criterion for what is
healthy. Nutritional content is!

Peace and love, readership!

Simple Tips for Easy Weight Loss

Abstract: health food store in florida
Tag:

Current statistics reveal that 75% of Americans are overweight
and 40% are obese. For those who desire to lose weight and
obtain optimal health, sometimes it can be overwhelming trying
to figure out where to start. From the Atkins Diet to the South
Beach Diet; from the low fat to low carb diets, there are
numerous weight-loss plans to choose from. In addition, given
conflicting information as to what works matchless, it can be
difficult deciding what to do.

For those who have tried many diet plans with no success, it
becomes higher difficult and frustrating. Many people forget that
a diet might work wonders for their friend but won’t work well
for them.not because the diet is “bad”, but because each body
reacts differently. However, there is a way to lose weight that
is easy, fast, and doesn’t involve deprivation or calorie
counting.

Before the weight loss tips are discussed, it’s important to
address some background information about body genetics and why
weight loss can be difficult.

Before anyone starts a diet, it is important to note that each
person has a different body build. Some people are short and
stout while others are tall and thin. Some have big hips and
shoulders, and others are short and very muscular. Genetics can
determine body shape and a person’s natural build just as it
does eye color, hair color, skin color, and so on. The good news
is that genetics do not determine whether or not one will be
fat, but will determine one’s body shape. This means that not
every woman can expect to be tall and thin like a Hollywood
actress or supermodel such as Tyra Banks. Not every man can
expect to be defined and muscular like The Rock. The goal,
really, is to be at a comfortable weight for one’s body shape
and to feel good about it.

So, why are people overweight? Here are 11 of the most common
reasons:

1. Slow metabolism: People who are overweight have a hard time
burning off food. As a result, the fat is stored.

2. Emotional eating: Those who struggle with weight often eat
when stressed or when other emotional upheavals are happening in
their life.

3. Hormonal imbalances.

4. Eating portions that are too large.

5. Eating lots of “diet food” (that is low fat,low carb, and
“sugar free” foods). Kevin explains in the book why this is a
problem.

6. Build up of toxins in the body.

7. Eating late: Late-night eating can cause food to convert to
fat further easily.

8. High susceptibility to growth hormones: These hormones are
given to animals to help them grow faster and larger, so meat
and dairy have residual growth hormones. In humans, these
hormones can result in increased fat storage.

9. Not eating breakfast.

10. Numerous diets: Going from diet to diet has a negative
impact on the metabolism and causes weight loss to be much larger
difficult.

11. Food ingredients: The reasons why are amazing and beyond the
scope of this article. Readers are encouraged to read for
themselves Kevin’s two books.

Simple Tips for Easy Weight Loss:

Now that there is a better understanding of body genetics and
why people have a tendency to be overweight, here are the tips
for fast, easy weight loss.

Tip #1: Drink water upon arising: First thing in the morning,
drink eight ounces of distilled water, bottled water, or
filtered water (not tap water).

Tip #2: Eat a big breakfast: This should be done 45 minutes
after getting up in the morning. Suggested organic foods to
choose from (they must be organic) are apples, bananas, rye
bread with no sugar, plain yogurt, tuna, lamb, tomatoes,
carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked salmon, and so on.

Tip #3: Drink distilled water throughout the day: Eight glasses
is recommended

Tip #4: Walk non-stop one hour each day: This doesn’t have to be
power walking; just walk at your own pace. Walking outdoors is
highest.

Tip #5: Stop eating after 6:00 PM: This is hard for some people,
but do the leading you can.

Tip #6: Do a candida cleanse: Candida is yeast overgrowth in the
colon that can cause all kinds of health problems. Check online
for “Candida Cleanse” or go to your local health food store.

Tip #7: Do a colon cleanse: This cleanse cleans out the
digestive system, which is clogged and sluggish in many
overweight people. Once again, check online or go to your local
health food store.

More and likewise Americans are becoming overweight. Extra weight
can result in many health issues and negatively impact one’s
emotional state and self-esteem. However, for those struggling
with this problem, there is hope. You can lose it and keep it
off. Now that you have a understanding of body genetics and why
you might be overweight, take action today! Commit to trying at
least a few of the steps.

Protect Eyes – Avoid Eyestrain

Abstract: health food store in canada
Tag:

In today’s world, with the predominance of television, computers
and videos, people of all ages are suffering from eyestrains.
Driving a car and living in the city full of smog can be other
central reasons for eyestrains. The common symptom of eyestrain is
the blurry appearance of the letters on the computer screen or
in the print of the page, which normally appear clear. The eyes
hurt so bad that you are forced to shut them for some time.

The most common remedies to cure this problem are:

* Take breaks from work: If you are working on a computer or
doing any other type of work, which involves working your eyes
at a close distance, then you need to take a break of about two
minutes after every hour. By simply closing the eyes and doing
nothing will give the eyes the much needed rest.

* Stop reading to refocus: If you are reading continuously, it
is highly advisable to take a short break after every 30 minutes
and look far away into the distance. When you are working with
your eyes close-up, there is a muscle in the eye that contracts.
When you shift the focus to an object at a distance, you relieve
the muscle of its strain.

* Have a tea break: Using an eyebright tea is a gentle balm for
the strained eyes. Eyebright tea is a mixture of various herbal
material sold by the health food shops as a remedy for the
eyestrain. Soak a towel in the eyebright tea. Lie down and place
this warm towel over the closed eyes. Leave it on for 10 to 15
minutes. Take care to ensure that the tea does not drip down
into the eyes and should be warm but not scalding hot.

* Blink your eyes: Nature has given human eyes their personal
masseur viz. the eyelids. Consciously blinking the eyes instead
of squinting will cleanse and give them the required massage.

* Use glasses: If you have problems seeing but avoid using
glasses due to vanity, you are bound to suffer from eyestrain.
If your distance vision is good but cannot read up close then it
is highly advisable for you to get a good pair of reading
glasses to avoid eyestrain. If your distance vision is bad, use
of glasses for curing eyestrain is highly recommended.

* Exercise the eye muscles: Stand at a distance of about five
feet from the blank wall. Ask somebody else to toss a ball while
you try to catch it every time it bounces off. Alternatively,
hold your thumb at the arm’s length, move it in circles and Xs,
bringing it closer or far away and follow it with your eyes.
These exercises offset the damage caused by eyestrain and
improve the brain to nerve coordination for enhanced vision.
