"Perfect Food Raw" - Garden of life brand - FABULOUS

So I saw the movie
"Fat, sick, and nearly dead"

It was a pretty interesting movie. Regardless of your interest or dis-interest with 'juice fasting' this show is worth, at least, watching.

Anyway, really liked the information. And decided to get a juicer, and juice my self to health. Although I just added juice to my current diet. I did not do a juice fast.

Anywho, I liked the results, and knew my body liked the nutrition it was getting. Didn't think I needed to improve on anything. I had some really good, healthful, delicious juices almost everyday.

However, my steam did start to flounder, because it was a lot of prep, clean-up, and sometimes wasted produce. So I needed an alternative on the days I could't bring myself to juice, or I was on the run... Thus, I stumbled across the product "The perfect food' by Garden of Life.

My first taste of 'perfect food raw' I almost gagged, same with second, third and fourth. But I knew it was good for me so I chugged it down each time. Then the most amazing thing happened... I had been juicing for about a month and a half with no outside tangible benefits to my body; but after a week of being consistent with the "perfect food raw" I saw some real improvements to my MRSA boils. Tangible Improvements!

This stuff is AMAZING! Totally, recommend it. I drink it straight, and in smoothies.

I add the regular 'green' kind to a mango, pineapple, oj smoothie. Yummy! My 12 year old loves it.

I add the 'chocolate' perfect raw food, with 1 frozen banana, and chocolate almond milk. And my youngest three don't even know they were getting their greens. Seriously, can not tell.

I think this should be in everyone's pantry! AMAZING!

If you are battling MRSA, this is an effective tool in helping your body's defenses!

$$$$$$ What have we tried! $$$$$$

Ok trying to get rid of MRSA, yikes! The money we have spent could have taken us to Disneyland a few times over. Money, money, money...

So let me tell you what we have tried, and you can maybe save yourself some!

*Antibiotics - Tried (glad we did) good starting point
*Bleach baths - Tried (worked, but had unpleasant side effects )
*Hibiclens - Tried, worked. Hard on our skin. Fairly expensive.
*Manuka Honey - Tried with some success, not a biggie in my book. Not super pricey, but not cheap.
*Vitamin D3 - Tried, SOOOO happy to have the info. The more I research it the more I am happy this is some information I found. Use it everyday. Super cheap!
*Vitamin C therapy - Tried - IV vitamin c therapy, good but no amazing benefits. (maybe I didn't try it often enough, but who has enough money for 2x $85 a week?)
*Colloidal Silver - Tried, Awesome! We use 'Silver sol' up or noses, and internally. I think I totally got rid of pink eye with it. Yes, worth the money! Did not rid, but can TELL a difference when using it! Not super expensive!
*Iodine - Tried, SOOOO happy to have the info. Look into this, and you will see most people don't have     enough. Doctors can test you to see your levels. Low iodine can play a role in low thyroid too! I take natural kelp to supplement. Not expensive!
*Garlic(Allicin) - Tried, helped; but way too expensive, and the results( for us) were similar to 'silver sol' which is WAY less expensive. Not so impressed.
*Aloe Vera -  Used this before outbreak. Think this is a good product, and helps move things through your   system! Not expensive.
*Ginger -   Tried, use it in an immunity tea some mornings. (steeped fresh ginger, 1/2 fresh lemon ,and       cayenne) it rocks my colds! Not expensive.
*Essential oils  - Tried many of them. Love them! Wouldn't be without them! Give my kids baths with tea tree oil and lavender almost everyday, instead of bleach baths! Can get expensive.
*Green drinks - Tried. Juicing. Green smoothies. EXCELLENT. NOT EXPENSIVE!
 ****"Perfect food raw"(garden of life brand)- green drink- Had FABULOUS results with this. NOT expensive. About .70 cents a serving. I use it EVERY day, one of the things I will NEVER be WITHOUT. AWESOME!
*Bentonite Clay - Tried it. Love it! Wouldn't be without it. Has MANY benefits! Look into this one! NOT   expensive!
*pHenomenal water -   Tried it. Like it. Pretty expensive, but probably worth it.
*Diet -    Tried it, Love it. Worth it. It can get expensive, but LOTS of fruits and vegis are less expensive than going out to eat too! Your call!
*'MRSA secrets revealed' book  - Tried it. Like it. I think worth it! Pretty expensive!
*MMS -   Bought, haven't tried, doing my liver cleanse first. Not expensive.
*Liver cleanse - Tried, so far so good! Like the results. Not expensive.
*Eat to live - Tried, FABULOUS. Love the results. NOT expensive.
*Awesomely Alkaline Moisturizer - LOVE LOVE LOVE this, made a BIG difference. You can buy at "MRSA HERO" not cheap, not expensive..


If I help someone not spend as much as we have, and they are helped. All the money we spent will not be in vain.


Bentonite clay & Phenomenal water

Ok so I have tried many things, in fact I think I will do a post of all the things I have tried, and its outcomes, but for now I am addressing two products, one of which I have reviewed previously.

I stumbled across the term bentonite clay while researching online... probably for MRSA. However, after reading about it (it did not say directly anything about MRSA) I thought perhaps this would be a useful tool in my fight against MRSA.

So I bought the hydrated kind off amazon, for like 6 dollars a bottle:

http://www.amazon.com/Yerba-Prima-Bentonite-Detox-Ounce/dp/B00016XI7A/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1391491925&sr=8-8&keywords=bentonite+clay

Which I mix with a 'fiber' to help the clay continue through your system, called fiber 3:

http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Organic-Fiber-3-1-Pound/dp/B001TJZIQW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391492002&sr=8-1&keywords=fiber+3

Wow. All I can say is wow. This stuff ROCKS! I have had GREAT results with this product! As you can see I linked to amazon, I am not getting reimbursed to say it. This is really great stuff. Has it cured me? NO? However, I have had some underground boils,on the right side of my face for months and months, they never have broke the surface but are always there. After using the clay for a few weeks (always practicing a better diet), they are all but gone! Seriously, awesome stuff. Do your own research, talk with your own doctor. My experience has been very positive.

The other thing I would like to 're-review' is the Phenomenal water. The more I use this product, the more I think this is a good product. Look into it. It makes sense, the bacteria has some protections that other bacteria do not, the water is suppose to 'pull' the extra hydrogen out of your body, which is suppose to take the bacteria's protection away.  Again, do your own research and talk with your doctor, but we have had good results with this product! Although I REALLY wish it wasn't so crazy expensive. It really makes it hard for the average "Joe" to afford. I guess they know when you are desperate you will pay close to anything. Yikes!




"Eat to live" & the "Liver cleansing diet"

So when you have a problem, our natural instinct is to fight and resolve it.

My search for absolution has taken me on many roads....

One night I was up late watching PBS, and "Joel Fuhman" was on talking about his book "Eat to live" and "Super Immunity". Which of course caught my eye... "super immunity" yes, please!

So I went to the library and reserved the book "Eat to live", when I got it, I read it in large chunks, then all the way through. (light over my head)....... Of course, food has a role in our bodies ability to fight disease. Duh. We all know that, but do we apply the knowledge or want our brownies too much? Mmmm, brownies.

I bought the book, and reference it often, because once you have good information it is wise to reference it on a regular basis to keep your course true.

I then stumbled upon the book "The Liver Cleansing Diet" By Dr. Cabot. Wow! Food can hurt us or heal us. Revolutionary!

I personally feel my liver has taken years of abuse from my poor diet. I remember having 'ho ho's' and chocolate milk for breakfast in highschool on a regular basis. GROSS! And why wasn't I 300 lbs? Seriously, teenagers don't make the best food choices! In an article I read in my "Parents" Magazine July 2012 there was an article "Sugar Shocker" where Dr. Robert Lustig is quoted saying "A can of soda and a can of beer have the same strain on the liver." "Fructose is alcohol without the buzz."  I, thankfully, have never had to worry about beer on my liver, because I have never drank beer. But sugar....... WOW, yes I have inhaled probably more than the average soul, for sure. Hamburgers, yes please. I like the healthy stuff, thankfully (thanks mom), but I LOVE the bad stuff! So it would be safe to assume that my liver needs a little TLC....

If you are battling MRSA, these books are worth looking into. The more information you have the better your choices can be! Knowledge is DEFINILTY power.

I have bought both of them. And have actually bought more as gifts for those I love! They have impacted me that much! I almost wish "Eat to live" was required reading..... almost!

I feel these books as treasure troves of how to keep your body its healthiest!


Underlying Conditions: Could they be preventing your body from ridding itself of MRSA?

So this terrible thing started with my cute, then, three year old; who is now five- almost six.

These haven't been my best years, but there have been some good things.

However, the point of this post is: first my 3 year old got it, a month later my husband. Quite a few months later, my youngest and myself got it - about the same time. It seems my 3 year old, and husband got rid of it; why not me and my youngest?

Using the many methods I have told you about, I haven't seen anything on my 5 year old for about a year; after about 1 1/2 years of battleing it. My husband suffered on and off for a few months, but so far there has been no return for many months. Yeah! (Although, I wonder if we have really gotten rid of it or if it is waiting for a suppressed immune system.)

However, my youngest who is now 2, will occasionally show signs when her immune system is depressed; AND I have been battleing it ever since I contracted it. Never with full relief. (There have definitly been things that have helped.)

And so I pondered "Why am I, and my youngest, still having boils; and my other family members are not?"

I am sure there are MANY things that play a role in this.
  * First, I have a real hard time letting go of sugar, even though I have DRASTICALLY reduced. It feeds the darn stuff, Oh I wish I didn't LOVE sugar! My husband can give or take sugar, not hard for him to give up at all.
  *Second, I have always had tummy problems, and trouble eliminating (must be said).
 * Third, after researching further I feel that my LIVER may be unhealthy and thus unable to perform its function of flushing out the toxins.
  *There could be more, but this is what I am worried about at this time.

I feel my daughters underlying condition that may play a role is that her body is currently fighting a battle with Molescum, which is a type of super contagious warts that many children get, and are usually able to be absolved of after 1 -3 years. So once her body had bested the molescum, maybe her body can fight the MRSA better.

So after much research I have put myself on a "Liver Cleansing Diet", which, IF this is one of the reasons I am unable to rid myself of this, it might increase my chances of defeating it.

So, ask your self, "Could I possibly have an underlying issue, that is making it to hard for my body to fight this?"
.
If you cannot eliminate regularly, your might have an issue.
If you have fatty liver disease, you might have an issue.
If your body is too acidic, you might have an issue
If you have candida, it may be an issue.
If you have parasites, it may be an issue.
If you have a virus such as warts, it may be an issue.
If you eat a lot of sugar, it may be an issue.

The point of this post is for those who have struggled for a long period of time, you MAY have some underlying issues you need to address that will allow your body to fight the bacteria better! Seems logical doesn't it?

Talk to your doctor, about any thing or issue that you can address that may help your body to fight the MRSA better!

I will talk further about the "Liver cleansing" diet in another post.



What I wish someone had told us at the beginning

If someone had told us at the beginning: ***

I.    *****Swab your noses (everyone in the family) with 'bactroban" (a heavy duty neosporin) 2xs a day for 7 - 10 days!***

(We now do this monthly, to be sure, with a homeopathic treatment spray of 'silver sol')

II.   *****Wash all the bodies in your home with an strong antibacterial wash (hibiclens) at least twice a week.***

(We now do this with a homeopathic bath of bath salts mixed with tea tree oil, and lavander, and wash with a essential oil body wash for adults and older children, at least twice weekly.)

If someone had told us these two things, at the beginning, I think we could have avoided a lot of heartache. 

If someone has MRSA at your house, and not everyone had contracted it, BY ALL MEANS talk to your doctor about everyone in the house doing this ASAP.  They told us this information after many months. Whooops. Wish they had given us precautions earlier. Not useful to hold that information back. Treat it as worst case scenario, instead best, and people will come out ahead.

Once this bacteria is in the blood stream, therein lies the difficult battle. If, then, you can kill it in your nose and on your skin before it enters the bloodstream, you can avoid heartache. 

IF SOMEONE IN YOUR HOUSE HAS MRSA, AND OTHERS DO NOT, PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THESE PRECAUTIONS! 

Again, once this bacteria is in the blood stream, therein lies the difficult battle. If, then, you can kill it in your nose and on your skin before it enters the bloodstream, you can avoid heartache. 

Hospitals now swab peoples noses for MRSA when admitted, and they when they are released; because that is a VERY common place for people to be colonized with this bacteria. Some people can have it up their nose and have no symptoms, but can give it to others unknowingly.

WISH, WISH, WISH we had known this at the beginning. I really feel it would have helped others in the household not aquire this!!!
