Suppose you were to begin on a program of eating a food that offered your cells a complete package of nutrients they needed. It would come as no surprise to me to find your body began to tell you in no uncertain terms to clean up other areas of your life. Maybe you will not be able to tolerate “foods” with aspartame or MSG. Maybe you will find you have to quit smoking. Maybe you will loathe watching television preferring to read Dickens or the Bible instead.

Why? Because suddenly your old behavior is out of balance with the new standard of being alive. An out of balance life, like an out of balance tire on your car, demands to be brought back into smooth running condition. You will get no peace until you do.

Simplexity Health’s Super Blue Green Algae is one of Earth’s most nutrient dense foods. It supplies you with a full complement of easily digested, easily assimilated nutrition. Contact me to find out how to begin your own adventure with this superfood.

Wrong.

I have used probiotic supplements topically to address external conditions, and I have used probiotic supplements and probiotic-rich foods to address internal conditions. In either case those friendly bacteria have proven their friendship. They have demonstrated their capability of dealing with the bacteria who are/were causing problems.

As I have previously stated, your intestinal tract will have 5 to 8 pounds of bacteria residing in it. I do not know how to determine the weight of bacteria we carry around on our skin. Depending upon what, or who, you are hosting, these bacteria will either keep you healthy or make you ill. On your skin, the friendly bacteria supply a range of benefits from protecting you from infections to preventing body odor.

Internally, the friendly bacteria manufacture B vitamins and other nutrients, they produce certain natural antibiotics that support your immune function, they keep the intestinal walls clean and in good repair, and they stimulate peristaltic movement. The wrong ones produce toxins, produce carcinogenic compounds, cause cracks and holes in the intestinal wall, and fill your intestines with putrefying sludge.

These bacteria are either important gains in our well-being, or they are serious obstacles to our health.

Why not just wipe out all bacteria and have a germ-free gut and skin? There are two reasons:

• We would die without the benefits of beneficial bacteria.
• The destructive bacteria are stronger than our old poisons, and are more adaptable than our ability to create new poisons.

The most effective means of controlling the destructive bacteria is to maintain the balance of viable colonies of beneficial or friendly bacteria.

Simplexity Health’s probiotic supplements have an edge over other brands because they incorporate the AFA algae into the colonies contained in the capsules. Thus when awakened, those beneficial bacteria are supplied with a ready source of complete nutrition. This means they can set about implanting vigorous colonies in your intestinal tract. Other brands may have larger numbers of viable organisms contained in the capsule. But the thing that really matters is the number of living, vigorous colonies of friendly bacteria that implant in your gut or are available to work for you on your skin.

We live in a world fixated on the power of death and on manipulation by the fear of death. We seem to have a greater familiarity with and respect for death than life. This can be seen in our interactions from global politics down to the foods we eat.

The laws of life were established long ago. These laws can’t be circumvented by any amount of regulations by the FDA or other governmental agencies. These ancient laws clearly state that the power of life lies in the interactions between your cells and your food. Take for instance Jesus’ statement, “…I live because of the Father, so he who eats me shall live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, …he who eats this bread shall live forever. (John 6: 57-58)

There are many mysteries concerning food that we don’t understand. There may well be mysteries we haven’t even recognized. But no matter how you divide up the human (e.g. spiritual, mental, and physical or some other distinctions) it is food that provides the power of life.

I have felt the power of death flowing in my body. I have experienced the power of life. When life flows in your every vein, when life bathes every cell of your body, death is swept out. It is food that brings this to pass.

Jesus was talking about “spiritual food.” But there is physical food that imparts life to the body. This food is alive with the wisdom of survival since life began on Earth. It contains a full complement of the nutrients the human body needs. These nutrients come in the necessary combinations and balance to make it easy for your body to get them and for your cells to use them.

At every meal we are faced with Moses’ point of decision. There, on the table before you, is either death or life. It is up to you to make the choice.

Stress, many medications, alcohol, refined sugars, food additives, and more can destroy the colonies of your friendly bacteria. Remove these professional life-givers from your system and your troubles have only just begun.

But there is hope. You can reintroduce friendly bacteria into your intestinal tract by consuming lacto-fermented (i.e. cultured) foods containing live cultures and by taking probiotics supplements. (These need not be mutually exclusive.)

Yoghurt is, perhaps, the most commonly thought of cultured food, but most commercially available cultured foods have been treated to kill the live cultures. However, these foods are easy to grow yourself. I include several recipes in the pages of this blog. You can follow my examples and then branch out to devise your own recipes.

If you are purchasing probiotic supplements, you need to know that all brands are not created equal. Some brands may not even contain the organisms they claim. Some do not contain the numbers of viable organisms listed. It is also important that the supplement contain colonies instead of individual organisms. Among the reputable brands, only Simplexity Health’s probiotics are micro blended with AFA Algae. This gives them the food to quickly establish vigorously growing colonies in your intestinal tract. In fact, the AFA makes Simplexity Health’s pro biotics more professional.

Your primary immune system is the barrier between you and the outside environment. We are so constructed that we have the “outside” inside us as well as outside. Our digestive tract is open, on a restricted basis, to the outside world. We are somewhat like a complicated pipe with legs and arms attached. The real us lies in the pipe walls. So it is of primary importance to control what substances and what organisms have access to the real me.

The primary organs of control are your skin and intestinal lining. Both of these organs require beneficial bacteria to do their job. Your skin was inoculated with these bacteria when you were born unless your mother had just received a course of antibiotics or you were delivered by c-section.

75% of your primary immune system depends upon your intestinal tract, which will have 5 to 8 pounds of bacteria. These bacteria are not a weight-loss option. Your only choice is, “Are these pounds beneficial or are they detrimental? You began accumulating beneficial bacteria through your mother’s breast milk. In many traditional communities, you would have continued to accumulate beneficial bacteria by eating cultured foods.

In our “anti-culture” of antiseptics, antibiotics, and irradiated foods, our food practices and our medicines destroy our immunity by killing the beneficial bacteria on our skin and in our intestinal tract. This leaves an environment free for the proliferation of detrimental bacteria. This, in turn, wrecks havoc on the real me inhabiting the “pipe walls.”

What are the consequences of having a prevalence of bad bacteria in the gut? How can you change things for the better? I will talk about these issues in future posts.

Several things came together that made the achievement of my goal easier.

Sego Lily Vessel

I found the old flower book, The Field Guide to Rocky Mountain Wildflowers by Craighead, Craighead, and Davis (1963). I admit 1963 is not old, it is within my memory. But it is old enough that botanists knew how to draw or they incorporated drawings from someone who did know (i.e. Grant O. Hagen and Eduardo Salgado). This is a necessary step for me. I can more easily make a drawing from another drawing than I can from a photograph or from life.

I ate part of a capsule of Simplexity Health’s Omega Gold (now called Reflex). This combination of foods is one of the best, if not THE BEST, for your brain. It has the right amino acids in the right balance that are all derived from nature. It contains other botanicals that have a long history of supporting mental clarity. The suggested consumption is 2 capsules. I was delighted with what I was getting with just 1/3 capsule. After being away from the Omega Gold for a while, I could tell quickly that it did feed my creativity.

I had a hollow vessel waiting to be finished and parted off the turning blank.

All three of these things happened yesterday without my planning.

After a quick look in the flower book, I saw I could reproduce the drawing for the sego lily. Once it was penciled onto the vessel, I burned in the lines.

Sego Lily

Here it is, a lily for you. May its beauty brighten your day and encourage you to feed your creativity.

The “counterfeitness” of your $100.00 bills is determined by pure convention. However, you can pass all the legislation you want, no amount of laws will make counterfeit food perform its crucial function at the critical moment when your cells need the minerals, vitamins, or other nutrients that should be there in appropriate combinations and appropriate forms. The wrong twist to a molecule can mean the difference between nutrient and poison. The wrong combination of nutrients can render those nutrients difficult or impossible to use.

Genuine food is produced in a naturally fertile growing environment, one that is free from man-made chemicals that interfere with the natural production of food molecules. By long practice we know those molecules as nutrients. It is not always possible to look at a particular food and tell if it is genuine or counterfeit. But your cells can tell every time whether or not they are receiving a full complement of the nutrients they need to keep you functioning at peak health.

Genuine food, whether of plant or animal origin, began its journey as minerals from the earth, carbon dioxide from the air, and light from the sun. Bacteria can play a role at all stages of the process of shaping those molecules. In some stages they play a crucial role.

Is it any surprise that one of the most powerful foods on the planet today comes from an organism, a blue-green bacteria, that has been in the business of food production since life began? Simplexity Health’s Super Blue Green Alpha Sun is perhaps the most genuine of all foods. The “Why Algae Overview” explains the growing environment of this organism and how it is treated during harvest and freeze drying. All these steps are important in maintaining the integrity, and thus the genuineness, of this food.

If you do not wish to suffer the consequences of eating counterfeit foods, (and they do come with a penalty) then you must begin today to consume the genuine article.

Whatever road you are on, the paving stones are not the good intentions but the core values of your life that determine your behavior. At some time, you have accepted, perhaps, or chosen those values to be your determinants.

On a more surface layer are good intentions. They exist to impress ourselves, impress others, or to provide some measure of insurance against the consequences of our behavior. When the core and the surface come into conflict, the core rules.

Perhaps you want to improve your health. You ask my advice and after our initial consultation I advise you to take certain actions, some of which requires purchasing certain food, some suggesting a lot more effort in preparing healthy meals. However, your core values include convenience and amassing money. You will not follow through on my advice nor on your goal.

These choices we make in spite of our good intentions are our real intentions speaking, declaring themselves for us to see. We can learn their language. We can read the road map we have printed on our soul. We can even re-choose. But we can’t do it in ignorance.

Jesus told those who would follow him, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” The change from one set of core values to another is as dramatic and as complete as that suggested by Jesus.

To attempt a change by anything less is only to work on the surface. All our good intentions will still lie on top of the road. However, they are merely mud that sticks to our shoes and legs. Not paving stones at all.

However, this title is a question regarding the lacto-fermented foods I produce. Do they have live enzymes?

One of the tests for live, activated enzymes is to sprinkle some over a bowl of warm oatmeal and let it sit for 20 minutes. If the enzymes liquefy the oatmeal, you know they are active. If no liquid forms, either the enzymes are not viable or they lack certain co-factors, minerals and vitamins, to activate them. Which amounts to the same thing as far as function goes.

I was warming up my breakfast of lacto-fermented oatmeal and had added in a lump of cold, non-fermented oatmeal. I let my bowl of food warm gently over a pan of hot water for about 20 minutes until the food was ready to eat. After uncovering the bowl, the first thing I noticed was a quantity of clear liquid around the lump of non-fermented oatmeal. While not appetizing, it was exciting to verify that I am producing enzyme alive, easy to digest food.

So, definitely not dead!

Aging takes place when your body begins to slow down in its ability to produce these adult stem cells. A controversial procedure to use stem cells involves the use of placental tissue for the embryonic stem cells it contains. But there are no controversies nor legalities involved in supporting your body’s efforts to produce its own supply of adult stem cells.

Ponce de Leon sailed off to look for a fountain. He discovered a land instead. From the land of Ponce came Dr. Bickford’s research discovering certain foods that promote youth. You can experience the effects of Dr. Bickford’s discovery in Simplexity Health’s StemPlex.

Yes, drink plenty of Ponce’s water, but the power of youth is in the food.
