Caffeine

Caffeine
Caffeine is not that toxic, and it is easily removed from the body after the coffee retention enema is completed. Roasting the coffee bean and boiling the coffee for 10-­‐12 minutes reduces its caffeine content slightly .

Avoid strong coffees, as too much caffeine is not helpful for the body at all, and just acts as a CNS stimulant.
For this reason, the recent habit in the West of drinking very strong coffees such as cappuccinos, espressos, and lattes is extremely harmful. The habit derives from the old Turkish style of making coffee so strong it is almost like drinking mud. Those who do this are not healthy, and the caffeine and other toxins in the coffee build up in the liver and elsewhere, damaging health.
The nervous system eventually is ruined by this habit.

Coffee taken orally cannot have the same effect as a coffee enema.
Drinking coffee virtually ensures that one will reabsorb toxic bile because the dialysis (flushing effect) does not occur.
The coffee mixes with foods, diluting its effect, and most of the medicinal properties are destroyed in the stomach.
A small amount of the medicinal properties are absorbed directly in the mouth, but otherwise they are wasted.

Caffeine is a stimulant. Too much can cause jitters, insomnia, headaches, upset stomach, and anxiety. Some people are particularly sensitive to the effects of caffeine. These people may want to limit how much coffee they drink, or switch to decaffeinated.

Caffeine may worsen some conditions, such as:
•insomnia
•anxiety
•depression
•high blood pressure
•heart problems such as arrhythmias
•kidney problems
•chronic stomach issues

There’s some evidence that women who drink large amounts of caffeine may have a higher risk of osteoporosis. Caffeine may interact with some medications or herbs. Use with caution if you take:
•quinolone antibiotics such as ciproflaxin and norfloxacin
•asthma medications such as theophylline
•depression medications
•anticoagulant medications
•stimulant drugs including decongestants
•echinacea
•weight loss pills containing caffeine
•pain relievers containing caffeine

Caffeine isn’t only found in coffee. It’s also in black tea, green tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and even one type of jerky.

Foods to Watch

Jan 262017
 

As usual there is lots of conflicting info about but these are what I can make sense of:
In general it is best not to completely eliminate anything if you are already used to eating / drinking it. Complete elimination will most likely create cravings and often result in a replacement which may or may not be better than the original.
eg fat replaced with sugar, dairy replaced with soy, red meat replaced with soy based processed foods.
Eat foods with as little processing as possible, ie whole grains, unprocessed meats rather than processed meats like sausages, cured bacon, crab meat, chicken nuggets etc.

Eliminate as much Sugar as possible- it is hidden in so many things we eat & drink, definitely don’t add sugar eg in coffee / tea, on cereals

Cut back on Coffee,it often has lots of pesticides used in production & these remain in the beans, and the caffeine itself is a problem, it dehydrates, prevents the absorption of Iron and raises cholesterol.

Drink Ginger Tea

Minimise alcohol intake– in general it is toxic to the body, so with every drink you are adding toxins to your body and hoping that the liver can remove them all.

Cut back on dairy foods if you have dairy intolerance, but don’t cut out completely as they are valuable source of calcium. watch for sugar in yogurts etc

Eat oily fish for omega 3 – salmon, sardines, mackerel etc preferably smaller fish rather than large ones like tuna- they eat the small ones & have accumulated mercury and other heavy metals from the small ones

Red meat in moderation- unprocessed – ie not cured bacon or salt dried. good for iron and other minerals. it is a good source of iron and zinc.

Processed White Iodised Salt contains anticaking agents along with  iodine which will be extracted by thyroid. For many this will be fine, but for those with a poorly functioning thyroid, adding more iodine to the body can actually damage it – use unprocessed sea salt or pink rock salt.

Vitamin D – get from regular sunlight exposure 10 min at a time
Vitamin C from real foods – Ascorbic acid is not vitamin C
Don’t have foods that are fortified with vitamins – fillers (rock) and artificial vitamins

Selenium – many soils are known to be deficient in selenium – seek out foods that contain selenium or consider supplements.
Potatoes – can be good for selenium when baked or lightly fried from raw- not deep fried. Boiling changes the structure & loses some of goodness
Lightly brown only- all foods chips, toast etc, the browner / blacker the surface the more carcinogens may be produced from the browning process.

Bread – whole grain – lots of salt and sugar in a lot of breads.
if you have any gluten sensitivity then cut back on bread and wheat based products, replace with rice base.

Can be good to have some carbs such as slice of bread 5 hours before sleep.

When taking pills / supplements try to take capsules rather than tablets as the tablets use fillers to hold them together and the fillers can contain toxins and block up liver / kidneys.
