postheadericon Chocolate Gluten Free Muffins

This was actually a Pancake recipe that I modified and made into Muffins. Enjoy! To be honest I was just winging it as I went so I will try to put down what I remember. If they don't come out to your satisfaction don't give up on the recipe just try again. I will notate my changes with a *** all the other items where not changed.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup potato starch
  • *** 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • *** 1/2 Cup Xylitol (Natural low glycemic sweetner)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • *** 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 cups water
  • You can add chocolate chips or nuts to make them even yummier. These are best eaten on the same day or you can freeze them. I always heat mine for about 30 seconds before I eat them as I find it softens them up nicely. Enjoy! You can add more sweetner or sugar if you like them sweet. To make these into Mocha Muffins heat up 1/3 a cup of the water in the recipe and add 1 tsp of instant coffee and then add to recipe. I think I probably doubled the recipe to get nice HIGH muffins.
  • Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 spray muffin pan
    1. In a bowl, mix or sift together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, dry buttermilk powder, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Stir in eggs, water, and oil until well blended and few lumps remain.

postheadericon Homemade Hand Sanitizer Recipe


A safe alternative for hand sanitizer.  I found my answer and it's cheap, effective and you can make it at home! I've been us Nutribiotic GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) for about 2 years. I make nasal spray with it to fight sinus infections, I buy GSE dish soap, I make my own capsule with the GSE gel and take it when I want to prevent sickness or nip in the bud and NOW I will make my hand sanitizer with it with the full confidence that this stuff works great and it's natural! Here is the recipe that I found for GSE sanitizer here is one place to get Nutribotic GSE or get it at you local health store and here is an online store for the gel.
Tell me if you try it out! I will go to my health store and pick up a little plastic bottle with a flip top spout for the sanitizer. Voila!

My son is allergic to ALL grains, including rice. He is ony 3 I got him tested for Celiac and came back negative. I will keep him on a wheat/grain free diet so that hopefully doesn't develop Celiac.  I've also read if you have a biopsy done and they test a undamaged spot your test will come back false negative.  My grandmother was misdiagnosed until this year in her 60's she has had colitis for years and has had many health problems that may have been avoided had she been properly diagnosed.

All bold resoved or went into remission with proper diagnosis of Celiac November 2002
Some residual nerve damage remains as of 2006- this has continued to resolve after eliminating soy in 2007

Mother died of celiac related cancer at 56
Twin brother died as a result of autoimmune liver destruction at age 15

Children 2 with Ulcers, GERD, Depression, , 1 with DH, 1 with severe growth stunting (male adult 5 feet)both finally diagnosed Celiac through blood testing and 1 with endo 6 months after Mom

postheadericon Preventing Food Allergies

Here is some important information

Who gets food allergies? Can they be stopped?
Once you have food allergies, there are not any medicines that make food allergies go away. If you
are allergic to a certain food, the only way to make sure you won’t have a reaction is to never
taste, touch or even smell the food.
Moms who breast feed their babies might keep the babies from getting food allergies. Another way
to keep babies from getting food allergies is to wait to feed them foods that often cause food
allergies:
• Try to wait until babies are 6 months old before you give them solid foods. Wait until they
are 1 year old before giving them milk and other dairy (like cheese and yogurt).
• Toddlers should not eat eggs until they are 2 years old.
• Children should not eat peanuts, nuts or fish until they are 3 years old.
Talk to your doctor about a plan for introducing these foods.

If you are on a candida diet or a fungus free diet you know that eating mayonnaise is a big no, no because store bought mayo contains sugar and vinegar.

I added some minced garlic, dill and goat yogurt and blended it all together to make a great baking sauce for a fish casserole. Try it out and let me know what ya think!

postheadericon Why the Phase 1 Diet?

It is very well documented that fungi are parasites of man. They should not be inside the human body, but they have several portals of entry, including the skin, the lungs and even the food we eat! Certain fungi make a poisonous substance known as a “mycotoxin.” To see the rest of this article go to http://www.know-the-cause.com/AboutUs/OurFrequentlyAskedQuestions/tabid/77/Default.aspx You will find Frequently Asked Questions on Know the Cause

What food are OK on Phase 1?

EGGS
FRUIT, berries, grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apples, avocado, fresh coconut
MEATS, virtually all meat including fish, poultry and beef
VEGETABLES, Most fresh, unblemished vegetables and freshly made vegetable juice (no potatoes,corn or mushrooms)
BEVERAGES, bottled or filtered water, non-fruity herbal teas, stevia sweetened fresh lemonade or limeade, freshly squeezed carrot juice (see below)
VINEGAR, apple cider vinegar OILS, olive, grape, flax seed, cold pressed virgin coconut oil NUTS, raw nuts, including pecans, almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pumpkin seeds. Stored nuts tend to gather mold, so be careful!
SWEETENERS, Stevia, Stevia Plus, birch tree extracted Xylitol
DAIRY, Organic Butter, Organic Yogurt, (use the following very sparingly) cream cheese, unsweetened whipping cream, real sour cream.

I've been using xylitol produced from Birch Tree not corn cobs as my sweetner. I also know it's safe for diabetics and it's all natural.


I highly suggest getting the Fungus Link books on audio. I bought the trilogy and it was expensive but worth every cent to be informed. I gave up on Doctors years ago as a matter of fact when I do go to my family Doctor the first thing she asks me is, What's your diagnosis? Thankfully she allows me to practice my natural medicine under her watchful eye.

postheadericon Candida What is it?

Candida albicans prefers people. Candida enters newborn infants during or shortly after birth. Usually, the growth of the yeast is kept in check by the infant's immune system and thus produces no overt symptoms. But, should the immune response weaken, the condition known as oral thrush can occur as a result. By six months of age, 90% of all babies test positive for candida . And by adulthood, virtually all humans play host to Candida albicans and are thus engaged in a life-long relationship.  To view the rest of this article go to:

postheadericon What does a Phase 1 Dinner look like?

I have to make sure I keep my husband happy with this program or he might throw it out the window. This night I made curried chicken with asparagus steamed in some of the chicken broth and lemon juice, plus a salad with Annie's Green Garlic dressing (this is vinegar free dressing- which is not allowed on the diet) sprinkled with parmesian cheese.

postheadericon Yes you can have this on phase 1

Goat Cheese Cake

This recipe came about after a day of really wanting some desert. Our family has dairy allergies so we used goat cheese, but you may try it with regular cream cheese.

1 lb Chevre Goat Cheese*
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 Eggs
1/4 cp Xylotol*
1/2 cp Walnuts chopped

1/4 Unsweetened Whip topping whipped mixed with 1 tsp of xylotol

Preheat oven to 350

combine the first 4 ingredients and mix. Meanwhile scatter walnuts over pie pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Pour ingredients over walnuts bake until set. 20-30 minutes
Wait for pie to completly cool and top with whipped topping and sprinkle with more powdered xylotol.

* most health food sections have xylotol which is an all natural sugar that tastes great and prevents cavities and has NO side affects.
* Not all chevre are the same. Some have a powdery after taste which can affect the tast of this pie.

Well I have to admit it's not gourmet, but it served it's purpose!

postheadericon Eating your way to breast cancer?

I found this interesting article:
Are you eating your way to breast cancer?What if you found out that if you consume foods such as peanut butter and beef, you might well be eating fungal toxins that could cause breast cancer?Would you change your diet? Would you cleanse your body? One of the most common hormones used with cattle is zearalone, which is a fungal product whose toxic byproducts cause breast tumors. Actually, a whole host of foodstuffs contain fungal toxins. Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that are structurally diverse. Yet they are common contaminants of the ingredients in animal feed and human food.They or their effects can be transmitted from animal feed to the animal to humans.To date, mycotoxins with carcinogenic potency in experimental animal models include aflatoxins, sterigmatocystin, ochratoxin, fumonisins, zearalenone, and some penicillium toxins.In one 1993 study, researchers examined human breast cancer tissue for evidence of the presence of aflatoxin, a recognized potent carcinogenic mycotoxin found in inferior peanut butter and other nut and dairy products.

postheadericon Sweet Breakfast with No Guilt


I made this for breakfast one day after I was tired of having savory eggs everyday. I whisked some eggs with cinnamon and xylotol. Next, I reduced some chopped green apples with the juice of one orange. I didn't find out until after I made it that oranges are not on either phase 1 or phase 2. However you can still make the reduction with a little bit of water and green apples.

postheadericon The benefits of an antifungal program

Here is an excerpt from http://www.wholebodywellnesssolutions.com/fungus101.html

There are millions of Americans who I believe would benefit tremendously by taking antifungal remedies, but one major problem exists-physicians rarely prescribe them because they feel that infectious agents are almost exclusively bacterial or viral. Through the years, when symptoms of unknown etiology (cause) exist, I have asked hundreds of physicians to prescribe a nontoxic, no-side-effect drug called Nystatin in hopes of reversing the symptom or disease in the patients. Rarely has this occurred, however, for two reasons: So often, the prescribing physician does not believe in the fungus-disease phenomenon, and also he is concerned that Nystatin may harm the liver of the patient. The fungus-disease link is very well documented in the scientific literature, the same literature that also documents the harmlessness of Nystatin.What is an educated patient to do when an antifungal approach seems so logical to them, yet their physician will not prescribe antifungal drugs? First and most importantly, understand why the physician will not prescribe antifungal drugs, because there may be a very good reason. Ask the doctor if he would object to your trying the antifungal diet and natural, nontoxic antifungal remedies. Most docs will not object, believing that these antifungal remedies are not as strong as antifungal drugs; yet, as you will read, some are more capable of killing fungus than even the most powerful antifungal drugs.
