***WATER***
Water should always be the beverage of choice. While the human body can go about three weeks without food, it cannot survive for more than three days without water. Water is essential to every bodily function. No other liquid can sustain your body like water, and the body needs a certain amount of water to function well.
Every function in the body is dependent on a steady supply and flow of water, because all in all, the human body is comprised of about 60 percent water. About 73 percent of the human brain is water, blood contains 83 percent water, the lungs 83 percent and muscles contain 79 percent. Water transports such things as hormones, chemicals and nutrients, which are vital to efficient organ function. Without water, we would not be able to digest or absorb minerals or nutrients and our kidneys would fail from toxic overload.
Here are just a few of the amazing things that water can do for your health:
· Keep skin vibrant and supple
· Detoxify the body
· Support healthy metabolism
· Improve energy
· Remove body heat
· Lubricate joints
· Improve mental and physical performance
· Support digestion
***LEMONS***
Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C, which provides a variety of health benefits for the body. Vitamin C aids in detoxification on a cellular level, helping your liver clear out fat and other harmful products on a regular basis. Vitamin C also contains enzymes that assist with metabolic and organ function, which is essential for optimal health. Vitamin C also clears waste from the digestive tract and enhances overall immune health. Vitamin C is also necessary for the regulation of certain hormones, like glucose and leptin. The vitamin C contained in lemons can even enhance energy levels naturally. Since lemon juice is similar in composition to digestive juices and saliva. Lemons also help to balance out the body’s pH level as minerals alkalize the blood. And if you’re trying to lose weight, lemon has appetite-suppressing properties to help you combat cravings. Research shows that the citric acid in lemons can aid in the removal of harmful toxins from the body. For all the reasons listed above, lemons can even reduce blood pressure and fight inflammation, keeping dangerous diseases at bay.
***HONEY***
How To Use Honey For Healing - Ease Allergies, Kiss Coughs And Colds Away, Natural Burn Remedy, Diaper Rash Cream, Face Mask, Relieve Acid Reflux, Balance Blood Sugar, Dark Circle Remover, Lip Moisturizer, Infections In The Mouth, Insect Bites, Natural Sleep Tonic.
Medicinal properties
Hygroscopic Property In its natural state, honey has a very low water content, but it absorbs moisture when exposed to air. This hygroscopic property makes honey highly beneficial to dry skin by allowing it to better retain moisture. It also helps to speed up wound-healing time.
Antibacterial Property - One especially vital component in honey, glucose oxidase, is an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide. Research indicates that this is one of the main reasons why honey seems to have such powerful antibacterial and wound healing capabilities. The production of hydrogen peroxide is just one of the remarkable ways that honey helps to kill bacteria and heal wounds.
Antioxidant Property - Although darker honey generally contains more antioxidant power than light-colored, both are still a rich source of valuable antioxidants. Antioxidants go to work against free radicals and encourage new tissue growth.
***CAYENNE***

***Fresh GARLIC***
This might come as a surprise, but do not underestimate this common household herb. It is actually among the most effective herbs for ridding the body of any unwanted organisms. Garlic is able to slow and kill over 60 types of fungus and 20 types of bacteria, as well as some of the most potent viruses.
Garlic has a history of killing parasites and controlling secondary fungal infections. It also detoxifies while gently stimulating elimination, and has antioxidant properties to protect against oxidation caused by parasite toxins. The active components in garlic that kill parasites are allicin and ajoene. These compounds can kill amoebas including one-cell varieties, as well as pinworms and hookworms.
Allicin is not present in garlic in its natural state. When garlic is chopped or otherwise damaged, the enzyme alliinase acts on the chemical alliin, converting it into allicin, the active component contributing to its success for killing parasites. To get the most out of garlic, be sure to use it crushed or juiced. Start off with 1 clove and work your way up to as many as you can stomach.
***CUCUMBER SEEDS***
Cucumber seeds have been used as an all-natural treatment to remove tapeworms within the digestive tract. The powder of cucumber seeds can be used to treat tapeworms but also consumed even if you do not have a parasite, as a preventative measure. That is because cucumbers are of course are also a vegetable. They are effective due to enzymes within the cucumber and seeds that kill tapeworms. Look for heirloom cucumber seeds, grind into a powder and add 1 tsp. to a smoothie daily during your cleanse.
***GINGER***
Ginger has been grown since ancient times in India too. The Indian physicians considered ginger to be an important medicine and gave it names such as "Great remedy" and "Panacea".
Therapeutic uses
The use of ginger as a safe and effective medicine is so well established that no home or pharmacy should be without ginger. Thousands of years of use in Arabia, China, India, Pakistan and Europe testifies to its benefits. Modern research continues to research the uses of ginger and have confirmed much of the classical uses suggested by physicians.
It is an excellent medicine to use in any cold or phlegmatic condition, such as cold or flu. For colds and flu, bacterial or viral, ginger will be found most helpful, as it promotes heat, induces sweating and destroys germs and poisons.
The Circulatory system
Ginger is an excellent medicine for circulation and heart conditions. Heart disease is the main cause of death and disability in the so-called "modern world". About two thirds of "modern human beings" have high blood cholesterol, half of which will have heart attacks, strokes or other circulatory diseases. The sources of all these circulatory diseases are not simple to identify, except that lifestyle contributes significantly. These modern conditions of furring of arteries, (Atherosclosis) or hardening of arteries is a major factor. This degeneration is a result of reduced circulation. Ginger helps to improve the quality of the contraction by preventing blood-clots. Ginger can act as a natural aspirin without the side effects of the tablet.
Memory and ginger
Dried ginger improves poor memory. For this purpose, 1 gram of powder in warm milk is an excellent way of using ginger.
Stomach and digestion
One of the most important and best known uses of ginger is on the digestive system. It is the classic medicine for dealing with many digestive disorders. Ginger promotes Haraarate Gharazi (digestive and metabolic fire), thus promoting digestive heat burning toxins and removing and lowering cholesterol deposits. Ginger is a pungent herb par excellence; we may call ginger as being stimulating carminative for digestion.
Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting can be a problem when travelling. Dried ginger is found to be effective for nausea and vomiting due to travelling. For this purpose, 1 gram of dried ginger may be used 30 minutes before starting the journey and then one dose every four hours. Many women experience nausea and vomiting due to pregnancy. Dried ginger helps in these conditions too. The only condition in which ginger should not be used is when there are ulcers in the digestive system.
***PAPAYA***
Sugary, tropical fruit is typically not advised when dealing with parasites. However, this particular fruit has a strong ability to destroy many parasitic worms, including most intestinal worms and tapeworm. The most powerful part of the fruit is actually the seed. The University of Maryland Medical Center advises a mixture of honey and papaya seeds, which has been found to clear stools of parasites. If you are going to consume the fruit for its benefits, it is best to remove the skin and ferment in apple cider vinegar for one day. You will want to eat eight ounces of the cultured papaya and drink 2 ounces of the brine for 4 days. When it comes to papaya, the most powerful part of the fruit is actually the seed.
***CLOVE***
Cloves contains the most powerful germicidal agent in the herbal kingdom, known as eugenol. It also contains caryophyllene, which is a powerful antimicrobial agent. These components travel through the bloodstream, killing microscopic parasites and parasitic larvae and eggs. Cloves are tremendously effective in killing malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, scabies and other parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungi, including Candida. Cloves also destroy all species of Shigella, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. It is best consumed with black walnut hulls and wormwood.
***Raw Pumpkin Seeds***
These are able to kill eggs, and they contain a natural fat that is toxic to parasite eggs. Curcurbitin in pumpkin seeds has shown anti-parasitic activity, since it has the ability to paralyze worms so they drop off the intestinal walls. Chinese scientists used pumpkin seeds to treat acute schistosomiasis and tapeworm infestations. Many parasite formulas contain pumpkin seed, but it doesn’t do much in just a few capsules. You need half a cup at a time to really work. Grind in coffee grinder and add to salads or smoothies.
***TURMERIC***
The Turmeric Testament: How This 4,000 Year-Old Golden Miracle Naturally Fights Pain & Inflammation. Turmeric offers a wide range of nutritional benefits, not the least of which is its curcumin content — the compound that gives turmeric its bright yellow color. Curcumin has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, and there’s some evidence that it might inhibit the growth of tumors. Combined with turmeric’s other nutrients, the spice offers a wealth of nutritional benefits. Turmeric is a good source of manganese and iron, and also contains vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, fiber, copper, niacin, zinc and potassium. In just two teaspoons of turmeric, you can consume 17 percent of your daily manganese needs, and 10 percent of your daily iron needs. Manganese is an antioxidant that benefits mitochondria, the energy producing part of cells. According to Oregon State University’s Linus Pauling Institute, “Because mitochondria consume over 90 percent of the oxygen used by cells, they are especially vulnerable to oxidative stress.” Oxidative stress contributes to the breakdown of cell structures in the body, which is involved in the development of many conditions including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as infections, chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. Iron aids in metabolism, development and in the synthesis of some connective tissue and hormones.
The recommended daily allowance for turmeric is 100 grams, and those 100 grams are full of amazing nutritional benefits including:
• 53 percent of your daily dietary fiber
• 138 percent vitamin B6
• 32 percent niacin
• 43 percent vitamin C
• 21 percent vitamin E
• 54 percent potassium
• 517 percent iron
• 340 percent manganese
• 40 percent zinc
Antifungal properties People with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to fungal infections and we’re learning more about them all the time. The fungal infection can cause fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalance, a loss of sex drive, bad breath, digestive problems, urinary tract infections and many more ailments. Curcumin displays antifungal properties.
***AVOCADOS***
Avocados - Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats as well as loads of vitamins to boot (E, K and C to mention just a few). Not only that, but they pack a serious fiber punch, 5 grams in just a small half cup! Between the fiber and healthy fat content, you'll have no problem staying full for hours after enjoying some avocado. Makes for a great snack, side with dinner, addition to salads, and of course there's always guacamole!
