Liver Flushing at every level will be the topic of my Tuesday Night Class this week.
Join us in Zoom at 7 pm Est for an in-depth discussion of Liver Flushing.
This class will cover the three levels of liver flushing, which are the regular, moderate, and intense liver flushing programs. The importance of flushing the liver often and well when clearing any issue in the body or just detoxing to maintain health cannot be overstated. If you do not flush your liver your healing program will be awfully slow if it will work at all.
Liver Flush Zoom Class from Tue July 6th 2021
The liver is the organ responsible for reversing the toxic sick conditions in the body, it is the vacuum cleaner of the body, pulling waste, clearing blockages, removing disease from the system. When the liver becomes 70% toxic it will stop pulling waste and begin stashing waste around the body until it can be cleared (flushed). Think of a liver flush in this way, you are simply changing your internal vacuum cleaner bag. Flushing the waste out so the vacuum can pull more effectively.
Tofu is low-fat, high protein, high in iron, and 100 percent vegan. But the soy-based meat-alternative has a variety of other health benefits too.
The benefits of tofu
Tofu has been given a bad rap throughout the years, but now this soy-based protein is enjoying a new popularity, as health-conscious consumers are turning away from meat and looking for plant-based alternatives to add to their daily meals. Want to love it? Let these health facts convince you to become a fan of tofu.
Eating soy does not increase breast cancer risk, but actually lowers it
Many people mistakenly believe soy can raise breast cancer risk, or impact the recurrence of breast cancer. Here’s why: Soy is a uniquely rich source of isoflavones, the naturally occurring plant chemicals that are classified as phytoestrogens (plant estrogens), and in one lab test on mice, isoflavones stimulated the growth of tumors. Yet there are flaws in assuming that soy creates this effect in humans. “Not only do mice metabolize isoflavones differently than humans, but isoflavones also differ from the hormone estrogen,” says Mark Messina, Ph.D., M.S., president of Nutrition Matters in Pittsfield, Mass., adding that clinical studies show that neither soy foods nor isoflavones increase breast cancer risk and appear to lower it.
A quick on line research into Tofu has shown so many benefits to using Soy. this along with how versatile the food is allows it to be a staple in any good vegan food program.
Tofu has no flavor of its own allowing a versatility in seasoning most foods do not have. Keep an eye on my Cooking Classes as I will show more ways to use this yummy food in simple tasty dishes.
This week in our Tuesday Night Zoom Cooking Class we will be making scrambled Tofu.
Class Time: 6:30 PM Est
Email: mail@healmarketplace.com or Text 828-287-8787 for a link to the class.
Used as an egg substitute or just something good to eat. Scrambled Tofu is a tasty filling meal.
Serve over Brown Rice, Couscous, millet or quinoa, or a mix of your favorite grains and seeds. Country fried potatoes is also a great addition to this meal.
We have also enjoyed making this dish into breakfast burritos using whole grain shells, salsa and vegan cheese.
When making the dish for breakfast burritos use less onion and bell pepper, about half the amount normally used works very well.
Ingredients: 2- Blocks extra firm tofu (cubed or smashed) Olive oil (coat bottom of pan) 2-tbs Vegetarian Chicken seasoning 2- tsp turmeric ¼ -cup parsley 1 ½ -tsp Sweet Basil 2-tbs garlic minced 2-lg onions diced 1- Green Pepper diced 2-tbs yeast flakes optional ½ – cup tomato sauce optional
Additional Veggies: Mushrooms, Fresh Spinach, fresh cut tomatoes, ect…use your immigration, add what you have it will all be good. I prefer not to mix the fresh spinach with the bell pepper. I normally pick one.
Instructions ❖ In large pan heat oil med heat, ❖ Rinse tofu before using, pat dry, and cut into 1/2 in cubes or smash with potato masher. ❖ Heat tofu in oil until begins to turn golden (about 10 min), ❖ Add seasonings, taking care to make sure all tofu pieces are covered. Mixture may start to stick after adding seasonings, if so add just a little water (a tablespoon or two) to help control this. ❖ Add onions and cook covered until tender ❖ Lift lid and add ¼ cup nutritional yeast flakes and ½ cup tomato sauce. (This is optional, it will give a creamy cheesy texture and flavor to the dish.)

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.
One of our wonderful members recently experienced a Brown Recluse Spider Bite. Here is the protocol we suggested and what was done to clear the issue at home using the simple natural herbal remedies
Brown recluse spider bites are usually painless therefore often initially go unnoticed. Symptoms usually develop 2-8 hours after a bite. The actual bite will cause little tissue destruction.
Initially the bite site is mildly red and upon close inspection may reveal fang marks. Within a few hours, the redness gives way to pallor with a red ring surrounding the area, or a “bull’s-eye” appearance. The lesion will often appear to flow downhill over the course of many hours. The center area will then often blister, which over 12-48 hours can sink, turning bluish then black as this area of tissue dies.
Brown Recluse Spider Bite
As soon as you notice you have been bit apply a generous amount of Infection Salve over the bite area. Spread it out in all directions for several inches if possible. Cover with cotton flannel if possible.
By the time our member noticed the bite the pressure had already built to the place of pain. He decided to lance the bite. He admitted all he got out at this point was blood. No puss was released by this early cut.
As soon as you can assemble the items make the Charcoal Flax Seed Poultice. The poultice needs to be large enough to completely encase the affected area. As example would be, If the bite is on the calf, encase the entire calf in the poultice. You may also want to apply some M&L salve over the area before applying the poultice. This will aid in opening the lymph system to move waste more effectively from the area.
Here is how our member effectively cleared the serious and painful effects of the Brown Recluse Spider Bite.
That first night after lancing the bite to try to release some of the pressure he applied the charcoal Flax poultice.
The next morning after we spoke he began using the Infection Salve alternating between the Charcoal Poultice and infection salve. Leave the Charcoal Poultice on at least 4 hours before changing back to the Infection salve pack for 4 hours.
He also began the Infection Program using the Herbal Antibiotic, Infection formula and Echinacea. Using 1 oz of Echinacea daily and one tsp of the Herbal antibiotic or Infection Formula every 2 hours. It was decided switching between the two formulas every other dose would be a good idea. See more information on the Infection Program in the Infection Info Sheet.
After work he decided to do a Hot Epsom Salt bath. While in the bath the bite site erupted. The Puss that came out looked like Cottage Cheese.
Spider Bite after Epsom Salt bath
After the bath he applied an Infection Salve pack and did his ELF (Emergency Liver Flush) See pdf for instructions and details.
He changed the Infection Poultice for another Charcoal Flax Poultice at bedtime and left it on all night.
The next day he continued the Infection program and kept the bite encased in the Charcoal Flax poultice or the infection salve throughout the day.
After work is did another Hot Epsom Salt bath. More puss was ejected from the bite site, not as much as the day before.
Applied the infection Salve after the bath and then changed to the Charcoal poultice at bedtime.
This was the Last charcoal Flax poultice needed.
He continued to use the Infection salve as needed. The spider bite was cleared in three days, healing the lance site took several days longer.
Please note a garden variety spider bite will be quickly cleared, usually 24 hours by using the Infection Salve alone. I received a bite several years ago and it took a little more than 24 hours to completely clear the red area from my finger. There was a painful sting as soon as I received the bite. If you have no idea what type of spider bite you have apply the infection salve first. If the bite dose not continue to escalate in swelling and pain it is likely not a Recluse bite and will clear with out much more drama.
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.
