The Beautiful Truth & The Gerson Therapy

Amazing, amazing movie!  Please educate yourself and watch this movie.  You will definitely want to take notes when watching this movie.  If you know anyone who has/had cancer, you will want to watch this movie.  If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you will want to watch this movie.  If you do not want to get cancer, I would recommend watching this movie!

Food Inc.

After watching the documentary, Food, INC. over a month ago, I have not eaten the same.  This movie is so powerful and educational!  I highly recommend you watch it and take notes.  If you have daughters, please watch this movie.  If you have sons, please watch this movie.  If you care about animals, please watch this movie.  If you care about your body and your health, please watch this movie!!

Did you know that cows eat grass?  Yea I think everybody knew that.  But did you know that billions of cows everyday are being fed corn?  Corn is cheaper and gets them fatter faster.  Corn is bad for cows, their bodies cannot digest the corn they are given.

Notice the years above the chickens.  Notice the chickens bodies.  Notice the number of days this takes to grow a chicken to that size.  47 days....isn't that chicken really still a baby?  Why are we eating chickens that are full of growth hormones?  Did you know you were eating chickens with growth hormones?  Do you know what effects growth hormones have on your body and your children's bodies?  If you eat/buy fast food chicken, you are eating growth hormones and supporting this awful abuse.  Do you eat/buy Tyson chicken?  Then you are eating growth hormones and supporting this awful abuse.  Basically, if you are not buying locally grown and loved chickens (meat, veggies, fruit) that have not been injected with growth hormones and abused by living their horrible lives in the dark until they are killed, you are eating growth hormones and supporting this abuse (which I was not aware of until watching Food, INC.).

Food to Improve Your Skin

 Dr. Perricone says if you eat 3 to 4 hard boiled egg whites for breakfast for 3 days (and following the diet for snacks and other meals) you will notice a face lift and beautiful, healthy skin.

By eating 1/3 cup of fresh raw almonds two to three times a day inbetween meals for snack will improve your skin (and by following the other meals in the diet for 3 days).

1 cup of fresh green leafy spinach for lunch and dinner (with no dressing) will improve your skin drastically in 3 days (if you following Dr. Perricone's full 3 day face lift diet).

Dr. Perricone says that everyone should eat fresh raspberries and blueberries multiple times everyday!  He recommends 1/3 cup of fresh berries on top of fresh cup of spinach salad.

Dr. Perricone is a big fan of fresh Alaskan salmon for our bodies and our skin.  He recommends eating 4 ounces of Alaskan salmon twice a day with fresh berries and fresh spinach salad (if you are going to smoke, broil or grill salmon, Dr. Perricone recommends using fresh lemon juice and fresh herbs instead of sauces, rubs or packaged spices).

Dr. Perricone also recommends drinking distilled water.  It is the purest water we can take in for our bodies and our skin.  For this 3 day face lift diet, he recommends drinking only distilled water (1 cup of black coffee or tea is allowed).
