CarbohydratesAre composed of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms. They provide ENERGY to the structure
of cells and allow for a proper metabolic balance. * GLUCOSE : Grapes are high in Glucose * FRUCTOSE: Honey abunds in Fructose * GALACTOSE * MALTOSE: 2 Glucose Molecules * LACTOSE: Glucose and Galactose.Lactose intolerance: North America (10%), Asians (90%), Arabs (80%) * SUCROSE: 50% Glucose + 50% Fructose.
Risk of Hypoglycemia if pancreas overshoots to get Blood sugar levels normal. Refined sugar removes all nutrients and fibers that slow down the natural process of absorption and cause unbalanced blood sugar levels.
Using Refined Flour denatures breads from all its nutritious qualities, but
it extends shelf-life and makes it easier to handle than whole grain, intact
hulls based breads. B Vitamins help in digesting Carbohydrates, the more Carbs
intake, the more B-Vitamins levels should be. Normal blood sugar level: 1mg/ml

FatsLIPIDS : include fats, oils, waxes, sterols, and triglycerides, that are insoluble in waterTriacylglycerols are used for energy storage and insulation. Phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol are key building blocks of membranes and lipoproteins Cholesterol is converted to bile acids, which help emulsify food for digestion. Fat-soluble vitamins are involved in vision and cell regulation (A), calcium utilization (D), protection of membranes from oxidative damage (E and carotenoids), coagulation (K) .

Legumes: from Latin legere, to gather.A pod, such as that of a pea or bean, that splits into two valves with the seeds attached to one edge of the valves. Fruits: The part of a plant product Vegetable: (first recorded in 1582 as "having to do with plants") The edible part of a plant FactsBody Mass Index measures the ratio between height and weight:For example:

Intestinal Broom started on May 31st 2003
Ended on July 14th 2003Using Arnold Ehret's intestinal broom is a 21 active day process. The procedure involves taking 1 teaspoon-full of the herb mixture in at least 8 Oz of liquid (water or juice), and adding 3 to 5 drops of Grapefruit seed extract to control the diarrhea. The mixture is then taken once in the morning and once in the evening for 3 consecutive days followed by 3 resting days, bringing the total number of active days to 42.What it feels like is an individual experience I guess, one has to try it form themselves to know. In my case, over the course of the three consecutive intake days, the first one remains mainly unnoticed, having one or maybe two normal bowel movements depending on the food I ate; the effects become more noticeable on the second day, when bowel movements are then more frequent (3 to 4 times) and often consecutive; cramps appear usually between 6 and 8 hours of the mixture intake. On the third day, the body feels weaker than the previous days, bowel movements are as frequent as the second day and cramps are also present, some times even more so than on the second day. As the three days go on, the feces are increasingly less consistent, having a particular "quasi-chemical" odor, and floating on the surface of the water on the second and third day. Some tissue-like clusters are visible but not identifiable, is it food skin ? or dead-cell tissues ? On the fourth day, the body comes back to its original metabolism quite quickly. The last characteristic bowel movement occurs usually in the morning of the fourth day and then stops. In general, the positive effects that I was told about -get rid of the acidity of the body, clean up parasites and debris, feel more energized- are in my opinion arguable. As I have not felt particularly more energized. As for cleaning up of parasites, I suppose that anyone taking laxatives and passing so many bowel movements would probably experience the same effects (?). For one, I felt that I was taking care of my body, and that was probably the most significant contribution of this experience, my dedication at taking this quite bitter and unpleasant mixture at fixed and regular intervals (even while on a trip). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
