QUESTION:
I have drank Pepsi for so long that now when I try to
stop drinking it I get a headache. What can I do to
relieve the headaches so that I can stop drinking so
much Pepsi?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Pearl
ANSWER:
Thank you for your question...
Caffeine headaches are a bear and not a lot of fun to
have or so easy to prevent without a few days of
headaches before defeating the caffeine addiction... If
you are taking certain prescriptions, OTC cold remedies
or pain pills such as aspirin, Excedrin, etc., you are
adding to the problem... Just think of it as withdrawal
from drugs, which it is!
There are two ways of defeating caffeine addiction and
neither is absolutely pain free...
1. You will need to gradually withdraw from caffeine by
taking in less caffeine daily. Cut it in half for two or
three days then cut in half again for another two or
three days and continue until all caffeine is removed
from you diet... You will have to put up with some
headaches until such time as you are sufficiently
detoxed the caffeine from your body. You cannot take
pain reliever for the headaches as most all of them
contain caffeine in varying amounts, which will only
further the problem... This withdrawal can take two to
six weeks depending on your toxicity...
2. To speed up detoxing and go cold turkey; This will
take less time and clean your body faster taking about 3
to 8 days... Stop all red meats and dairy
products... Eat lots of raw and/or lightly steamed
vegetables with brown rice, lots of salads daily and
Miso soups... Take 1 teaspoon
Ionic Liquid Minerals in a glass of fruit or
vegetable juice morning and noon... You will need to
take a soaking mineral bath twice a day to release the
toxins... (Mineral bath directions: 1/4 cup
Liquid Minerals 10 drops of
Lavender
essential oil in a bath tub of warm water.) Soak
in the mineral bath at least 15 to 20 minutes twice a
day for 3 to 5 days. Walk at least 30 to 45 minutes a
day working up a good sweat... Get 15 to 20 minutes a
day on as much of the naked body as possible... Take
1500 mg B Complex vitamins daily (spread them out
over the day)... With the diet, minerals and
detoxing baths you should have fewer headache days...
I'm sorry there isn't a real painless way of caffeine
withdrawal but there truly isn't...
Hope this helps,
Lena

WHEN
DISASTER LOOMS
It's said that we are regularly faced with
magnificent opportunities brilliantly disguised
as impossible situations. I once read of a
quick-thinking salesperson who uncovered such an
opportunity which seemed, at first, to be a
disaster.
With the presses set to run three million copies
of Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 convention speech,
the publisher discovered that permission had not
been obtained to use photos of Roosevelt and his
running mate, Governor Hiram Johnson of
California. Copyright law put the penalty for
such oversights at one dollar per copy.
Spotting a hidden opportunity, the chairperson
of the campaign committee dictated a telegram to
the Chicago studio that had taken the pictures:
"Planning to issue three million copies of
Roosevelt speech with pictures of Roosevelt and
Johnson on cover. Great publicity opportunity
for photographers. What will you pay us to use
your photographs?"
The reply came back: "Appreciate opportunity,
but can only pay $250." The campaign committee
not only obtained the permission they needed,
but came out $250 ahead!
Was the oversight a disaster or an opportunity?
The answer, of course, depended on how they
approached the problem. Perhaps that is why the
Chinese word for "crisis" is written using the
characters for "danger" and "opportunity." With
a cool head and a little imagination, the danger
in a crisis may be turned into an unexpected
opportunity.
What hopeless problem are you currently facing?
And what might happen if you approach it as a
magnificent opportunity brilliantly disguised as
an impossible situation?

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================
Tangy
vegetable, fruit or what?
This tangy flavorful herb/food/flavoring isn't really a fruit or
vegetable but a root, which could qualify as a vegetable!
It's a perennial herb Zingiber Officionale or commonly English name
Gingerroot. In the fresh Gingerroot state, it has a characteristic
staghorn-like appearance; dried ginger is usually sold in form of
off-white to very light brown powder or fresh whole or pieces. Ginger
root is a rhizome or underground stem and not considered an actual root.
Depending on the location it is being grown at, it is harvested nearly
year-round. It is ready for harvest about five months after planting.
The early harvests are used for ginger syrup and candied ginger. The
later harvests are usually sold as fresh ginger. It becomes hotter and
spicier, and better for homeopathic remedies, the longer it is in the
ground.
Ginger leaves are occasionally used for flavoring in ginger producing
countries.
Ginger and turmeric combine with citrus and maple syrup to make the
perfect blend of healing nutrients.
The English botanist William Roscoe (1753-1831) gave the plant the name
of
Zingiber officinale in an 1807 publication. The ginger family is a
tropical group especially abundant in Indo-Malaysia, consisting of more
than 1200 plant species. The genus Zingiber includes about 85 species of
aromatic herbs from East Asia and tropical Australia. The name of the
genus, Zingiber, derives from a Sanskrit word denoting "horn-shaped," in
reference to the protrusions on the rhizome. Major world producers
include Fiji, India, Jamaica, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and China. American
imports come from China, several Caribbean Islands, Africa, Central
America, Brazil, and Australia. Ginger is now commercially cultivated in
nearly every tropical and subtropical country in the world with arable
land for export crops. While in Hawaii last April I was privy to see
ginger growing in all it's beauty and several organic plots for personal
use as well as for sale... Fresh ginger and dried ginger are considered
two different commodities. In fact, one author of an early Chinese
herbal felt that they were so different that they must come from two
different plants! The dried root is known as Gan-jiang. The fresh root
is called Sheng-jiang.
Ginger having been around so long that its exact origin is unclear.
It reached the West at least two thousand years ago, recorded as a
subject of a Roman tax in the second century after being imported via
the Red Sea to Alexandria. Tariff duties appear in the records of
Marseilles in 1228 and in Paris by 1296. Ginger is known in England
before the Norman Conquest, as it is commonly found in the 11th century
Anglo-Saxon leech books. Ginger is detailed in a 13th century work,
"Physicians of Myddvai," a collection of recipes and prescriptions
written by a physician, Rhiwallon, and his three sons, by mandate of
Rhys Gryg, prince of South Wales (who died in 1233). By the 13th and
14th centuries it was familiar to English palates, and next to pepper,
was the most popular spice. A pound of ginger was then valued at the
price of one sheep. Ginger, as a product of the Far East, was indelibly
imprinted on the taste buds of Westerners before potatoes, tomatoes, and
corn were even known to exist by Europeans.
Medicinal properties
Ginger has been used for centuries in treating the common cold.
Additionally, it is an effective analgesic, anti-pyretic, anti-viral
agent. Asian cultures believe it prevents them from maladies found in
most countries such as hypertension, and in the prevention of
atherosclerosis. Other known benefits of ginger include its ability to
cleanse the colon, reduce spasms and cramps, stimulate circulation, and
aid metabolism. Many have used it to treat colitis, nausea, gas,
indigestion, bowel disorders, morning sickness, motion sickness,
vomiting, congestion, fever, and headaches. In spite of Westernized
medicine moving in on them Asian medicine still, for the most part, uses
it as a treatment for asthma, shortness of breath, water retention,
earache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Homeopathic practitioners even
recommend it for sexual disorders. In some cultures over the centuries
it has been credited with the ability to treat arthritis, fevers, and
toothaches. It is said to have the ability to prevent internal blood
clots. An added benefit to Ginger is that it is a strong antioxidant and
effective microbial agent for sores and wounds.
Ginger in protecting and soothing the digestive system increases the pH
of stomach acid, reducing its acidity, thereby naturally lowers the rate
of gastric secretions, and increasing digestive enzyme activity. Rather
than blocking the feelings of nausea in the brain, it acts directly on
the stomach and liver to reduce nausea and vomiting. Ginger tincture -
root is soaked in alcohol and water - sometimes labeled as "drops" or
"extracts" - are available in health and natural food stores.
Recommended ten to twenty drops of ginger tincture in a little water
with meals to counteract indigestion or help fight early symptoms of
cold or flu.
Ginger root herb has no known harmful side effects, and is viewed as a
very safe herb. However, it has been known to cause heartburn in some
people. If such occurs, reduce dosage and try again or discontinue use.
In most American Asian restaurants shredded fresh ginger is offered as a
condiment to dishes and is found to be a common flavoring in most of
their dishes. Since I have not been to the orient I cannot absolutely
say how it is served over there.
Many people like raw ginger. Sometimes people will soak ginger in water
for several hours then added to the dish immediately before serving.
This gives it a more fresh, spicy and pungent taste. The freshness
decreases and the pungency increases when fresh ginger is cooked. Often
times, ginger is ground up into a powder and used in curries and spice
pastes.
Slices of ginger are used quite often to flavor foods that need to
simmer for long periods of time. The reason ginger is good for this is
because the slices release their flavor quite slowly.
Ginger tea can be made by cooking slices of fresh ginger in water for a
few minutes. It is a spicy and healthy drink that can be enjoyed in hot
tropical climates or in freezing cold climates. Below is a great tasting
and healthy detoxing, pain relieving and refreshing tea!
Ginger Healing Detox Tea with Turmeric
INGREDIENTS
2 cups water
1/8 teaspoon shredded ginger
1/2 teaspoon powdered turmeric
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1. Bring water to a boil, then add herbs (1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
may be used in place of shredded fresh). Simmer for 10 - 20 minutes.
2. Strain tea into a mug, add maple syrup and lemon, stirring to
combine. Drink warm.
Makes 1 serving.
Enjoy this pleasant food/herb/medicinal in all kinds of cookies, cakes,
tea, drinks or as a condiment with fish or fruits. I add a small piece
of fresh root to my juicer when I juice apples and carrots together for
a very pleasant flavor enhancer and nutrient enrichment.
