Vegan Cooking Class /HEAL Class #2: The Foundational Programs
Our Summer Schedules are so full, it appears there are many conflicts with our Summer class Schedule. I’m so sorry to have missed so many of you last week. We will continue on and hope to see more of you next week.
We have decided to move the Class to Tuesday Night as this seems to be a better fit for several members who are wanting to attend.
I had planned to do a cooking class this week but with the conflicts several of our local members who want to attend, we will start our Vegan Cooking Classes next week, Tuesday, June 15th.
There will be no class this week!! (June 8th)
The Following week, Tuesday, June 22nd, we will be covering the Foundational Programs. This is where everyone begins, regardless of the degree of disease or illness. Establishing the three Foundational programs is key to detoxing the body. To these programs we would also add any Support herb for the specific sick or weak area as needed for each individual.
Handouts for June 22nd Class: The Foundational Programs
I look forward to seeing you on Zoom or in person. I will post the Zoom link to my blog the afternoon of the Class. The Class will begin at 6:30pm EST. Come ready to learn and enjoy just how easy it can be to prepare simple tasty and healthy food for you and your family.
We have had many new members from our local community showing an interest in delving deeper into the Natural Healing Programs and lifestyle. In answer to the need we have decided to offer Our Natural Healing Classes beginning; Thursday June 3rd at 6:30 PM.
We have decided to switch every other Thursday between The Natural Healing Classes and The Vegan Cooking Classes. This week our class will focus on an Intro to Natural Healing. We will discuss the basic foundational programs. In this class we will provide a basic understanding of how to promote health in the body. Our bodies are amazing, in their ability to heal from even the worst lifestyle choices.
The following Thursday: June 10th In Our Vegan cooking class we will discuss the basics of cooking Vegetarian/Vegan while putting together a scrumptious combination of Grilled Veggies. This quick satisfying meal can be tossed together in minutes from whatever you have on hand. So quick, so easy. Husbands are welcome. Come, hangout and visit during the class time. Once the meal is prepared they will be the ultimate critic as to how good the meal is. My cooking classes are a time to fellowship while learning how to prepare and enjoy good simple foods.
This article has moved. I have updated it and combined it with my other writings on wounds, bites and skin infections. You will find it here: Infection: Skin & Wounds
For the full picture, start with my Infection information sheet. All my articles on infection, colds and flu are listed under Lungs, Colds & Infection in the Herbal Healing Index.
Last Wednesday I tripped over the edge of the carpet directly outside my office and fell flat. My left arm caught the worst of the damage. Thank the Lord for BF&C Salve and extract. My arm, though not broken, was too damaged to use. The elbow had been seriously jammed up. The joint was immediately wrapped in a BF&C Pack and I began drinking a cup of the BF&C tea every hour. It was immobilized by holding it tight across my abdomen. That first day it was too painful to even move an inch in any direction. The discomfort was coming directly from the elbow joint. The M&L Salve used for its muscle relaxing properties was a helpful herbal tool for keeping the elbow from locking up.
The BF&C Salve Pack was left on all day and all night. Thursday Morning I was able to, (with a lot of discomfort) lift my arm enough to get dressed. It has been a week since the fall and each day’s healing improvements have been noteworthy. The BF&C formula continues to be one of the best and quickest ways to heal any soft tissue injury. Often for a slight sprang or turned ankle the use of a pack will all but clear the issue overnight. Remember when the worst happens the herbal gifts given us from the Father are still our quickest way out of pain and will also speed the healing process.
This article has moved. I have updated it and combined it with my other thyroid writings. You will find it here: My Thyroid Story
For the full picture, start with my Thyroid Ailments information sheet. All my thyroid articles are listed under Organs & Glands in the Herbal Healing Index.
Learning how best to support our glandular system, what foods are needed to provide these internal factories with the needed nutrients for them to produce the hormones needed to maintain our best health. Our glandular system supports, digestion, absorption and utilization of all food elements and the very existence of cells. No physiological or mental activity is possible without them. In their absence the body and its activities would cease to be. Manifestly, the glands cannot pick their required elements form the blood unless their progenitors were previously taken in the foods eaten.
We are going to take a good look at the best herbal supports and foods to support the Thyroid gland, Adrenal glands, and Pancreas Gland.
There is so much I could say about the benefits of these glandular formulas. The Support they have provided in my body and the relief and healing provided to many of our members has been great. I cannot say enough on the healing power of these God Given Gifts. I dare not say more.
The Thyroid, through the hormone thyroxine determines growth, controls body temperature, regulates the metabolism or the burning of food in the body and influences, to a great extent mental and emotional balance. The master herb for the thyroid is Kelp. Whither the thyroid is overactive or underactive, kelp will prove helpful in healing and restoring normal function to this gland. Our info sheet on Thyroid will provide information on how to use the M&L Salve to shrink a goiter or remove cysts from the gland itself.
Herbal Supports for the Thyroid: Super-kelp Capsules or Powder; M&L Salve, and the Glands formula.
Adrenal Glands are absolutely essential to life. The adrenals, often referred to as the suprarenal, are the Creator’s most intricate chemical factories. “it would take acres of chemical plants” to synthetically manufacture “the 50 odd hormones or hormone like substances” produced by the adrenal glands.
Most hypoglycemics have problems feeding themselves, for they crave protein and sugar, yet these substances are wearing on the adrenals, which are often exhausted in hypoglycemics. You need to feed the adrenals with Licorice root and Hawthorne berries, the later being said to produce natural adrenalin.
Herbal Supports for the Adrenals: Adrenal Formula; Licorice Root extract; Hawthorne extract; Glands Formula.
Pancreas Gland, Malfunction can manifest in one of two ways; Diabetes, which is high blood sugar or hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar. Though they are completely different, they both stem from the same cause, a malfunction of the pancreas, which is what must be supported so it can function normally again. The Master herb for the Pancreas is Cedar Berries.
Herbal Supports for the Pancreas Gland: Pancreas Aid; (ELF)Liver Flushing; (LBF #1)Bowel Cleansing.
