What besides Foods?
Relevant aspects besides the foods:
- Daily Water Needs: Your weight in kilograms = # oz of filtered, vortexed water, for proper hydration, and naturally flushing of the uric acid from the body.
- Large amounts of organic Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, including garlic, celery seeds, alfalpha, berries, and lots of vitamin C throughout the day.
- Select a more slow indirect heat for cooking: crock pot, rotisserie, steaming, lo-heat baking, roasting, boiling or simmering. High direct heat alters the food chemically, makes it more acidic, and looses most of its nutrients.
- Organic/raw ACV: 2 tbsp twice/day with water and preferably Cherry juice. Can also be used inside a cloth that is wrapped around inflamed area, then covered with plastic and stretchbandage. Or used as a spray hourly on inflamed area, or as ice cubes wrapped in plastic and stretchbandage.
- Sodium Bicarbonate: ½ tsp in a glass with water, twice/day. Also 60 ml of this baking soda in a hot foot soak for 30 minutes, thrice/day.
- Castor oil wraps as ACV above, adding thick and warm socks or other means of heat
- Hydrotherapy: footsoak in a cold-hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold bath, switching each 60 sec.
- Sour dairy products are a good source of friendly bacteria for the body. Cottage cheese, sour cream, and plain yogurt (add fresh fruit, honey or stevia).
- Select sea salt, because it is produced through evaporation of seawater, usually with little processing, which leaves behind some trace minerals and elements depending on its water source. These insignificant amounts of minerals add flavor and color to sea salt.
- Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits. It is more heavily processed to eliminate trace minerals and usually contains an additive to prevent clumping. Often iodine is added, an essential nutrient that appears naturally in minute amounts in sea salt.
