Mamalaya’s Recipe to a healthy body

First of all, the best way to be healthy is boosting your immune system so that when you do come in contact with the bacteria, fungus, parasites and allergens that make you sick, you are strong enough to combat them and not let them settle in your body. A weakened immune system is the type of host that invites in all these organisms that make us sick, reason why young children and the elderly are usually the most prone to getting sick. It is not necessarily that they are exposed to more that we are, it is that their bodies cannot fight off the culprits quick enough. I currently take many supplements to stay health so I am going to list below the main ones that I believe are the reason for me not having been sick in the last 10-12 years (maybe longer but I can’t remember precisely) even though everyone around me gets sick…

1. Grapefruit Seed Extract or GSE: has very high amounts of disease-fighting, freeradical eliminating antioxidants and phytonutrients called bioflavonoids. One of these powerful bioflavanoids (plant antioxidants) include the chemical component hesperidin, a well-known natural immune-system stimulator and booster.

A recent study done by Microbiologists from the University of Georgia found that GSE was a very effective non-toxic disinfectant. Sadly, commonly-used disinfectants have high levels of toxicity and are harmful to humans, animals and the environment. The same study found that GSE demonstrates a "wide spectrum of activity," including antiviral, antimycotic, and antiprotozoan capacities against many bacteria and viruses, including E.Coli. It was also found to be an effective cleanser as a a pre-surgical soap.

Another recent study from The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that grapefruit-seed extract was effective in killing over "800 bacterial and viral strains, 100 strains of fungus, and a large number of single and multi-celled parasites." No other naturally-occurring anti-microbial can come close to these results.

Grapefruit Seed Extract is associated with the following potential health benefits:

• Powerful natural antiseptic.

• Antiviral and anti-fungal agent.

• Possible anti-cancer properties.

• Promotes the healing of wounds and scar tissue.

• Possible cholesterol-lowering properties due to the presence of the flavanoid naringin (a well-known plasma lipid reducer and plasma antioxidant activator).

• Excellent remedy for toenail fungal infections.

• Treatment for sinus, vaginal and topical skin infections.

• Environmentally-friendly fruit and vegetable wash for removing toxins.

• Effective preventative for Candida and other forms of yeast infection.

• Inhibits the formation of harmful intestinal organisms, including Giardia, without reducing levels of healthy bowel flora.

• Acts as a natural preservative for cosmetics.

• Can replace chlorine in swimming pools, public baths, water and sewage treatment centers, and it also used as a general water-purifying mechanism.

• May reduce chances of developing coronary heart disease in high-risk patients due to high pectin content in Grapefruit seed extract.

• Possible anti-biotic activity.

• Aids to alkalize the body, and is one of the world's most alkaline forming foods, helping to stabilize acidic pH levels, a central component for health rejuvenation.

• Great general immune system booster.

Other Home-Friendly Benefits of Grapefruit Seed Extract:

An excellent extract to have on hand while traveling into foreign countries, GSE acts as a natural germ-killer and an effective preventative mechanism for food borne illnesses that cause diarrhea and dysentery. It is also useful for our pets, and can be applied in both internal and external infections of the skin, including fleas. It is also highly useful for the modern eco-conscious gardener, and can used to remove fungus and mold from tools and supplies. It is also a great bug and plant spray. Grapefruit seed extract can be used to clean surfaces and even sprinkled into soaps for an added anti-microbial and viral effects.

The brand I buy tastes BAD but it is liquid but acts quicker than in capsules. If you do not like TERRIBLE flavors, go for the capsules.

Since this first post is a test, I will wait for comments to see if you want to know about the brands, the links, and especially the other parts of my recipe to a healthy body.

Have a great weekend!
