GUIDANCE FOR REJUVENATION & WEIGHT BALANCE

Pick the freshest and most wholesome food you can and enjoy with your family and friends.

- Drink ½ your body weight in ounces of purified water daily. We like Alkaline 3 Ionized Water the best. $3 gallon

- Make sure to have bowel movements EVERY day (Magnesium might help constipation + Rub Castor oil on in pm.) Start your day with a warm cup of water of which you can add a tea bag, piece of apple to start the digestive process going.

- Increase intake of fibers such as ground flax seeds, psyllium, or fiber capsules (we have a complete fiber selection)

- – INCLUDE  GOAL PLANNING TIME, EXERCISE, PLAYTIME, REST & RELAXATION  in your weekly schedule.

FOODS TO EMPHASIZE

- Non-starch vegetables (raw if digestion permits or lightly steamed) such as carrots, beets leaves and root, celery, zucchini,squash, parsley, romaine lettuce, and spinach, (good to include because of their sulpher content: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts,garlic, radishes, and kale) Avocado and Olives provide good fats.

- Freshly juiced vegetables are invaluable, and homemade vegetable soups (A large bowl of soup is recommended daily)

-Fruits and vegetables with deep bright pigments because they are nutrient dense:  carrots, pumpkin, purple cabbage, cherries, plums. Make sure there are at least 80 % of your intake vegetables and up to 20% fruit.

-Greens: eaten or juiced or taken in powder form to boost your chlorophyll intake is very helpful:  Alfalfa, barley leaf, wheat grass, kale and spinach.  Sea vegetables such as hiziki,  arame, wakame, nori, kulse, and kombu are very high in minerals and very beneficial.

- Low sugar fruits such as granny smith apples, lemons, limes, (freshly made lemonade or limeade are great) diluted unsweetened cranberry juice (good for the kidneys), Diluted cherry or pomegranate concentrate (good for blood and liver) (1-3 Tbs. per quart)  - Nut butters and raw nuts such as almonds, sesame seeds, pumpkins seedssunflower seeds. Use nuts & seeds sparingly. Sesame tahini & almond butter are good. (make sure they are very fresh), and

- Wheat alternatives: as quinoa, amaranth, millet, spelt, brown rice, buckwheat, rye, wild rice or Ezekiel products (sprouted grains inspired by the Bible). Reduce/ eliminate wheat & wheat products (pasta, bread, crackers)

- Herbal teas such as Holy Basil, Peppermint, Nettle, Green tea, Dandelion Root, (we carry a  great nanized green tea ), Detox tea blends.  Pick herbs with no caffeine. Float a piece of apple or dried fruit to flavor.

- Dandy Blend drink (a great instant herbal coffee substitute that can be taken hot or cold) Also a spoonful of blackstrap molasses ( to taste in a mug of warmed water) makes a good coffee substitute and contains minerals.

- Stevia (an all natural sweetener, ask for a free sample) Learn to enjoy food without sweetening.

- Low sugar forms of soy, rice, or almond milks (look for 5-7 gram carb per serving or less)

- Reduce or eliminate cheeses, small amount of goat or feta okay.

-Spreads to dip veggies in: hummus, tahini, sunflower butter, salsa, (all hydrogenated oil and sugar free)

- Spices such as garlic, turmeric (ask about capsules) celtic/pink salt, ginger, and dulse, cayenne.

- Cold pressed olive oil, flax oil, coconut oil ( 1-2 tb per day) Apple Cider vinegar 1 tb per day high potassium.

- Lean proteins such as organic/free range chicken, turkey, beef (use animal proteins sparingly for short cleanses), eggs (free range) and fish (deep sea and oily such as tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, non-shellfish avoid raw, smoked or deep-fried) and tofu (Eat half your usual portion while cleansing)

FOODS NOT RECOMMENDED

- Artificial sweeteners (aspartame, saccharin, sucralose) – Limit or abstain from sugar.  Limit fruit to one piece daily of apple, pear. – Limited consumption of simple carbohydrates (white flour, pasta, crackers, etc.) Limit corn intake.

- Wheat products (can be irritating to the digestive system) Consider 2 weeks wheat free and limit grains to only 1 serving daily and best choices are spelt, buckwheat, rye, barley, oats, quinoa, rice, wild rice, and amaranth.

- Alcohol or- Fruit juices (small amount of unsweeten juice can be used to flavor water ( per 8 oz 4 tbs Juice or 1 tb concentrate per 8 oz water) – Caffeinated teas (except green tea) – Peanuts or peanut butter (usually contain molds) – Potatoes (plain baked or boiled in soup okay) – Products from Cow’s milk and Cow’s Milk ( use organic and cultured like keifer or yogurt if you do have dairy)-Processed Food of any kind (if you can’t pronounce it, leave it out)

-Supplements that can help with cleansing that are helpful: Cleanse Smart 30 Day Detox Box, Milk Thistle extract, Energizing Iron (Liver Extract), Lipo-Plex, Liver Complex, Gall Bladder Complex, Lecithin Granules, Mulit-Fiber Blend caps, Ground Flax seeds,  Greens Powder or capsules,  Liver Nano Detox Liquid, Gall Bladder Nano Detox Liquid, Digestive Enzymes, including HCl. My Favorite supplements for on going use: Good Multi-Vitamin, Multi-Mineral, Fish Oils, CoQ10, Digestive Enzymes, Fibers, Whey Proteins, Tumeric, Herbal combinations for organ or system to enhance.

RECIPES FOR REJUVENATION

HOMEMADE VEGETABLE SOUP: To a large stock pot with 2 quarts of purified water add your favorite vegetables such as 3 cups of chopped celery and potatoes, 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped onion, 1 -3 cloves of diced garlic, 2 cups of chopped broccoli, bell pepper red or green.  You can also add parsley chopped or dry (3 tbs fresh, or 1 tbs dry, which boosts potassium), sea salt and pepper to taste.  Spinach, Kale, will boost up your greens consumption.   You can also use some V-8 to replace some of the water. For extra protein you can add 14 oz can chickpeas, chicken breast chopped and right before serving I might also add 2 tbs of whey protein powder, or just make vegetable soup with just vegetables.  (1-4 tablespoons of Tomato Concentrate we sell to boost the lycopene and potassium in your diet).  Bring all ingredients to a slow boil and simmer for about 20 minutes except for the Tomato Powder.   For people with poorer digestion, take one third or more of the broth/steamed vegetables mixture and puree. Add back in to the main stock pot for a heartier, easier to digest broth. Just before serving to preserve the nutrition, you can also add any or all of the following to really boost the nutrition:  1-2 tbs. miso, for the enzymes, tumeric open 4 caps and 1-4 tb tomato powder, 1 tsp greens powder,  1 tb nutritional yeast, and coconut oil (good for the brain and to ward off virus). I also like to add a beef bone for extra bone health to the pot to cook in soup with vegetables. (Kroger’s sells bones)

LEMONADE: To 10 ounces of purified water add the juice of 1 lemon, 1-2 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup, and a dash of cayenne pepper. (We carry maple syrup and cayenne pepper)

To make 1 gallon:  Add 7-8 ounces of fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice, 6-7 ounces of grade B maple syrup and a dash of cayenne.  Stir and enjoy.  Store in the refrigerator and drink within 2-3 days.
Good Morning Shake (Sweet Taste) healthy – Great for breakfast. Enjoy for breakfast or anytime and this nutritious shake can help reduce food cravings. Generally when we crave a particular food, it is because our body is deficient in one of the 90 vitamins, minerals or essential fatty acids our body requires for functioning optimally.
1/2 banana or ½ cup fresh fruits or berries
8 oz.  purified water or rice milk, almond milk, or coconut milk
1 teaspoon or more of Greens Mix Powder
1 teaspoon Flax Oil, or Coconut Oil + 2 teaspoons Lecithin Powder for more brain power
2 tablespoons or more of of Slim Styles, or Whey Protein Powder
1 teaspoon Nutritional Flakes for extra protein, vitamins, and minerals. For extra fiber add 1-3 tbs flax meal.
PURE maple syrup or raw local organic honey to taste (1 tsp at most or best left out)
ice cubes to taste ( 2)
Method:Blend in blender or can shake in a bottle to mix.  Can use less liquid to make a pudding or put in the blender with small amount of fresh fruit and ice and water. This is an easy to digest meal replacement with a good protein and lots of good fiber. Drink water after eating the pudding. And if you mix it in blender with water you still might follow with glass of water.

“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it what ever I can………..Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me.  It is sort of a splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to other generations”                                                     ______George Bernard Shaw

A Good Exercise

40 minutes of silence, 10 people to be thankful for, 10 things to be thankful for,  2  songs (poems may be substituted)

4 treasured memories,  4 concerns, In a warm place put 20 minutes of solitude and the first half of the silence.  After five minutes, add the people and the things to be thankful for.  Stir, and let sit for 5 minutes.  Add one song or poem.  Mix in treasured memories which have been fully plumped to richness.  Add remaining song or poem.  Gently fold in concerns, one at a time, mixing carefully.  When all have been added, put aside, and take the second half of the silence into the light.  Yield:  One Peace Maker.  Serve with love.

The nutritional suggestions made in this report act as a guide to improving nutritional status.  The following is a suggested program for purifying and building the body.  I understood as a suggested dietary program to maintain good health, not a prescriptive program for disease or illness.

Quantum Reflex Analysis (QRA)
Rapid Assessment of the Body’s Main Organ / Gland Control Points
Interference Fields For A Rapid Return to Optimal Health Status

What if there was a way your body could quickly repair a damaged organ or rejuvenate itself at an accelerated rate?  What if you could regain peak mental and physical performance in spite of having been chronically ill and fatigued for years?  Today, many scientists believe the secrets of regeneration and healing lie not within costly medical drugs or expensive medical treatments, and in the body’s own Quantum Energy Bio-field (QEB).

More than ever, it is now possible to release the body’s inherent, powerful biological quantum energy circulation matrix that is capable of speeding up renewal and regeneration in our bodies.  Practitioners of QRA (Quantum Reflex Analysis) use the QEB as a template to define and eliminate stressors that have deactivated the body’s own potent internal healing systems for rejuvenation, endurance, vitality and longevity.

Just before serving: Open caps of tumeric and mix with Tomato Powder, add this and lemon juice, to soup and garnish with ½ the parsley, and grated parmesan cheese (opt) just prior to serving. Remember to remove bay leaves before serving.   Beans and lentils are a delicious addition for extra protein.

Looking for an instant soup idea? You can also mix 1-2 tbs. tomato powder, 2 caps tumeric, dash of pink salt, and 1-2 scoops protein powder in hot water for an instant soup that is very nutritious.   Extras: add some kefir, nutritional yeast flakes, and greens to this mug of soup to really boost the nutrition.

Healing properties of this soup include:

The simple tomato has gained a stellar reputation due to the discovery of a carotenoid called lycopene, a health promoting phyto-chemical which gives the tomato its red color.  Lycopene acts like a powerful antioxidant, helping to scavenge and neutralize harmful free radicals which can accelerate aging and cause disease. Lycopene also assists in the repair of damaged body cells as well as helping to inhibit DNA oxidation, which if left unchecked can lead to certain forms of cancer.  Many studies have supported the role of the tomato with its rich lycopene content in the prevention and nutritional support of prostate cancer, lung cancer and other types of cancer as well as heart disease and osteoporosis. According to Canadian research using lycopene to lower LDL cholesterol could mean decreased risk of heart disease. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene a powerful immune-boosting antioxidant (270 mg in 1 tbs of Premier powder) Tomatoes are also high in potassium an important mineral for kidney, heart, blood, muscle and nerve support (1 tbs of Premier powder has 450 mg. of potassium)

Herbs are nutritious. This soup is beneficial for fatty liver and weight watchers!

Tumeric is a powerful antioxidant that promotes healthy digestion, peristalsis and helps purify nerve channels and may help alleviate stiff joints.

A heart and liver healthy recipe. North Star carries:  Tomato Powder, Tumeric caps, Pink Salt, Nutritional Yeast, Greens Powders

North Star Health

With our commitment to excellence is proud to offer the addition of ionized alkaline mineral water to our offerings.  We have been selling this water and the machines since 2007.

This is an award winning technology and backed by more than 30 years of manufacturing excellence made by Emco Tech, which are the highest performing, most reliable and technically advanced ionizers available today. Their latest model is the Athena.

We believe that after drinking this water you will feel lighter, and feel more vitality. This water helps us be more alkaline and reduce the oxidation that can age us. We believe this to be the healthiest water available. Proper hydration is at the very foundation of any health program and a great preventative measure. The Athena ionizer produces a super abundant supply of powerful antioxidants in each glass. This water offers superior hydration up to 6 times more hydrating than other waters. Filtered for impurities, it is silky, smooth and refreshing. As water is ionized it provides a rich source of extra oxygen- almost double the amount of tap or bottled water!

The water is best consumed within 48 hours of dispensing from our machine. Drinking it as soon as you can after dispensing offers the best results. We might suggest you put only the water in the jug to keep it clean and after several fillings rinse with white vinegar before bringing back for a refill. You may purchase gallons at $3 per gallon with your container.   We are stocking 1 gallon size containers, and you can bring your own bottle as well.  Help ease landfill overflow! Easy to clean with diluted vinegar, or tap water and best done by hand. Don’t put in dishwasher. Because 60% of our body weight consists of water it is essential for us to drink pure water as it one of our greatest healers. We recommend you monitor your urine pH (we have paper).
There are 3 key reasons to drink ionized alkaline mineral water

1. First and foremost alkaline ionized water is a powerful antioxidant. Free radical damage can cause disease and step up the aging process. 2. Ionized water helps balance body pH by neutralizing and flushing out the accumulated acidic wastes in our bodies. 3. Ionized water has a different molecular cluster size and it only contains 6 water molecules instead of the 10 -13 in tap water. This smaller water cluster is much more hydrating than conventional water and therefore its detoxifying properties are 3 times stronger.

Dr. Robert Young, Author of ph Miracle endorses Ionizers made by Emco.
We stock these Books for more information on Alkaline Water.
The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water, by Bob McCauley (($15) and
Reverse Aging by Sang Whang ($12)

The Athena has 3 modes of water, Purified, Acid, and Alkaline. We only use acid water externally for rashes, infections etc. Purified water can be used for baby bottles and medications and folks that are very toxic.   For best pH and anti-oxidant levels, drink the alkaline water within 48 hours and at room temperature. (You can cook food, and steep tea in alkaline water.) Drinking with nutritional supplements is fine. Avoid drinking alkaline water with Medications. Keep all water away from UV light.

The very best water to drink is Ionized Water, which is produced by running normal tap water over a positive and negative electrode. Both the waters are ever flowing (no recharge time like with reverse osmosis water).  Both Alkaline and Acid Ionized water have extraordinary properties and benefits and the uses for each are very different. Because the predominance of hydroxyl ions in Ionized Water, the water becomes alkaline meaning it has a high pH. All disease thrives in an acid environment in the body and can not flourish in an alkaline environment. When we acidify our bodies through poor diet we become vulnerable to any disease that invades the body. The more acid we are the more susceptible we become to disease. We easily measure our pH with drops or pH tape in our urine. The greatest keys to exceptional health is keeping the body pH properly balance and alkaline and staying hydrated. Drinking plenty of Ionized Water easily helps achieve these goals.

We love the feedback on your experiences drinking this amazing water. We are happy to provide water for sale by the gallon. While this may be a good way to introduce yourself to this water you may ultimately choose to purchase a counter top unit for yourself so you will have fresh water at your disposal. Having Ionized Water on tap is one of the best investments in your health you will ever make. You can easily install into your kitchen faucet (in about 5 minutes) to a cold water line that does not go through a softener. The Athena is a state of the art unit and retails for $1995 and we believe it to be the very best unit available today. Bess you on your path in Good Health, Sincerely, Pamela Alboher-Ray Ph.D., and Staff at North Star.

ALKALINE WATER BENEFITS:* Excellent natural anti-oxidant that will scavenge free radicals before they oxidize cell tissue. * Buffers against lactic acid build up so that recovery time after exercising is decreased. * Provides more available oxygen to your body than ordinary tap water. * Increases energy and improves capacity for aerobic activities. * “Reverses the aging process, lowers blood pressure and helps the heart work less hard.” (“Reverse Aging” – Sang Whang). * Neutralizes and flushes toxins and acidic waste from your body. Your body can focus on achieving optimal health. * The electrolysis process rearranges healthy minerals that are native to your tap water according to their electrical charge. As a result, alkaline water contains essential calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium minerals in a form that can be assimilated. * Cancer does not thrive in an oxygenated and alkaline environment. A healthy pH balance promotes good health.* Ionized water contains smaller molecule clusters which help the body assimilate more water and to hydrate better. * Using alkaline water to reconstitute your juices from concentrate will result in a sweeter taste with less bite because the acid will be neutralized. The same will hold true for coffee and teas. * Natural texture and color is retained in vegetables cooked in alkaline water. Rice will be fluffier after being boiled in ionized water. * Helps with weight control and curbs your hunger when dieting* Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

ACIDIC WATER BENEFITS: *As a complexion enhancement, this natural astringent removes skin oil and greasy dirt without harsh chemicals. * Soothes dry, itchy skin. * Reduces acne. Simply apply as a mist. * Excellent natural hair conditioner and rinse.  * Highly antiseptic for cuts, abrasions, and wounds helping them to heal faster. * Use for brushing teeth.* Use as a mouthwash after brushing teeth. * Soaking in warm acidic water improves healing from athlete’s foot, rashes,and nail fungus infections.* Sterilizes burns or heat rash. * Cut flowers will last longer in acidic water.
* Promotes plant growth. Live plants thrive when watered with acidic water because it is much like rain water. * Reduces fungus on rose bushes. Apply by spraying them

Important Note: Never consume acidic water – NOT for Internal Use and it is great to gargle with spray on skin, water plants with!!
