Calorie-Restricted Diet
★★★★★
I am forty eight years old. I look younger than my age for a number of reasons...I have youthful body...I still have a flat stomach and a small waist...I have very clear smooth skin and no wrinkles..I have good strong bones and good muscle tone...I believe that calorie restriction for long periods throughout my life and regular exercise for most of this time have contributed to this...other things that may have made a difference is that i eat butter, not margarine (transfats) , i use iodized salt or rock salt and I have never habitually used sunblock...I don't eat much..I smoke cigarettes and marijuana..

Thanks Mmsg! I've added your under-neck-skin-tightening exercise to my "5 Tibetan Rites" that I do every morning and I'm seeing even better and greater tightening of my now older, turkey-neck skin acquired after losing 40+ lbs. Your solution of opening the mouth wide then slowly closing it does contract the muscles in the lower jaw and neck area. I've been doing this during the 3rd Tibetan Rite for the past 3 weeks. Result? Today, as my husband sat across the table from me he remarked upon how thin, tiny, and tight my neck and face has become -- elfin he said! Well, I'm too tough to be an elf (despite the weight loss) but I appreciated the compliment. :> Blessings to All! Caitlin

I read somewhere that cold showers/baths has an alkalinising effect on the body. Cold helps to balance the body's pH level. Great in theory, but it is winter here now and I just can not bring myself to such torture as a cold shower. My 4 year old grandson insists on having cold baths....his daddy practices natural medicine and also has cold showers. I have never known my son in law to be sick and his skin is amazing.

Cold showers have been great for me too! I understand some people's hesitancy to hop into a cold show at first. What I do is start it out warm- not hot because those really hot showers just dry your skin up and I feel like they drive my body temperature up too. Instead, I start it out just warm enough to feel nice, then gradually cool it down as I am washing my hair & face, then by the time I get to the end of the shower, it's completely cold. I make sure to rinse out my hair completely with cold water, til there is no warmth running out of it anymore. My skin has definitely been more moist & smooth. My hair also feels much nicer- combining it with some of the natural shampoos talked about in other parts of the site, my hair is feeling much more soft and clean. I don't wake up the next morning with that gunky feeling in my hair. Cold showers take a little getting used to, but I definitely recommend trying it for a few days!

ORH here, and this is about my lake neighbor of 30 years that runs our ridges 3 or 4 times a week. He is an engineer at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant and a shy, but good guy. He is 67, and thin as a rail. We have offered them garden veggies numerous times, but he always says that he only eats meat and potatoes. I told him he was a paradox because he works so hard to stay healthy and I would expect him to only eat organic. My Tractor Driver met his wife at our mailbox yesterday and ask about John because we have not seen him for months. She said he had a stroke in October and is just now getting out of the house. We saw him today for the first time doing his jogging thing. John is slightly wild and strange because all dogs will bite him and he has to run with an electric cattle prod to keep dogs from biting him. If you are frightened of dogs you put off a smell from three places....... under arm pits, palms, and soles of your feet. This is not sweat, it is due to emotions and all animals can sense this and it makes them nervous and they will bite you. John has been bitten many times as a result. John, is in deep sheet because plaque due to his diet has him plugged up...... running or no running. My wife explained that EDTA Chelation will clean all this plaque out within 3 months. I can promise you that John will not participate. I am 84 and he is 67 and I will out live him. You are what you eat. I testify before many, but no one listens. They think I am a nut. New subject............. my left knee is now giving me pain. Let me tell you what I am going to do. I am going to shoot up my left knee with Ozone myself. I have had others save my right knee. Now I am going to save my left knee myself. If I fail, you will know. because I tell True Stories. Hips are also bad, but smart enough to not mess with my spine. Be glad when the IT's take over and we can progress by a thousand years on health and lots of things.

How do you cook your food without the salt? Are you cooking less salt or totally no salt? I want to start that too but the first time I cooked without salt, when I starved and while preparing to reheat the food I cooked (without salt), my whole body was shaking. I never felt anything like this before whenever I get hungry. Is it because of my body's reaction to no salt food?

I think your reaction is caused by a nutrient deficit. Salt is a needed ingredient in the diet. Even animals have "salt licks". Celtic Sea Salt is the best salt, in my opinion.

I agree with Molly.
Without salt our electrical system can't operate properly. Refined salt is a poison. Key word refined.
True sea salt, think pink or celtic, is good for us. The mineral profile of sea salt is the same as the body. I believe the celtic is best because it has more minerals, but pink or Himalayan is also good.
Without trace minerals we get the "munchies" because the body is saying I need nutrition. Without salt we die. Without cholesterol we get Alzheimer's.
Half truths can kill us.

* Still have not gone through menopause, my hair has no gray, my teeth are just like when I was young - I do yoga daily and callanetics and am very active physically. Most people I know are sick with all kinds of things and they run for a prescription immediately - this, I believe, was the biggest factor for me. Oh one more thing - I also use lots of fresh garlic daily in salads. This may sound difficult, but I find it extremely easy to live like this and cook so minimally. No grease in the kitchen!

Dear Valentina, Was very intriqued with your post on earth clinic. How you have remained so young looking and no menopause yet. I think it is wonderful. Could you please tell me what you eat for breakfast? lunch ? (probably your salads {with cottage cheese sometimes}), also what do you eat for dinner? This no grains, rice or beans would be hard, that is my main diet here in mexico but my health is not so good and I am seeking other avenues. Hoping you can find the time to answer.

Donate Blood Regularly
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/national/2015/04/04/tech-titans-latest-project-defy-death/
My suggestion is that they just read EC and the Yahoo's on this site will help them live a long life..... for free. Here is an example.
An article by one of my favorites , Dr Robert Rowan, explains what is revealed in a book by Dr Kensey " THE BLOOD THINNER CURE". Your blood cells get old and stiff and scar your vessels. Your young cells are soft and pliable and thus do not cause you the problems of clots or pluggage.
To keep young cells, then donate blood on a regular basis such that your bone marrow is constantly creating new blood cells. Hey, and instead of paying for this treatment , they give you a "T" shirt. This is not hard. It's a sheet + 2 = 8 thing. Our ancestors knew this and they had a blood letting on a regular basis at their barbers...... thus the barber pole of red and white.

Try this recipe first at night... you'll be surprised how refreshed you look and feel in the morning. If you like it, you may want to do it again in the morning.
PRIMARY INGREDIENTS
1 Tablespoon Blackstrap Molasses (be careful if you have diabetes -- this may be too sweet for you)
2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
1/8 teaspoon of Baking Soda (per Ted's alkalizing formula)
Glass of hot water (steam distilled water is best)
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
2-3 shakes of cayenne pepper -- optional (good addition if you need to cut mucous production)
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric -- optional (add this if you have boils or any kind of acne)
Add these ingredients to your mug of hot (but not boiling) water. Stir well and sip slowly. You may want to follow this drink with a couple glasses of water since it can cause dehydration (especially during the night).
Note #1: Blackstrap Molasses is a great skin purifier.
Note #2: Apple Cider Vinegar causes the skin to glow with a healthy pink flush
Note #3: Turmeric appears to shrink pores
Note #4: Baking Soda alkalizes the formula
Facial
This question is for Anejette, I read your wonderful recipe for the face, but I'm confused on the steps, or after putting the brown sugar you have to clean your face before putting H2O2, clean the face again and apply the egg. Could you please help clarify the steps.

Hi Lynne, I bought a book called "Eva Fraser's Facial workout" but I find the exercises quite difficult so I just gave up. I just don't seem to find the right muscles! Is "Ageless if you dare" also a book? I might give it a try..... Being 53 I would also like to keep my face in good shape.

Hi Francisca, It is a program developed by a lady named Louise Annette. When I purchased the program a year or so ago I got a book and a dvd (only available online) but I think she is updating the program and will be releasing the updated materials soon. If you google her name and "Ageless if you Dare" you'll find lots more info. I just love it. Take care.

I have been doing Facercise with some success, but the naso labial folds only disappear for about thirty minutes after the exercise. I am searching for a better one. I have always been feeling the effects of gravity on my face all day long, until today. I think it's because yesterday I did the cheek developer lying instead of standing. My face felt much more smiley today; lifted. I am going to get a few more books from the library on this subject , & will report my progress if y'all want. Unfortunately I can't get Eva Fraser's book.
A note on the exercises to get lids to be wide open- The only one that's worked for me is the one from Timeless Face, but I alter the time a little, holding reps 6 seconds, 3 or 4 that way, & then an isometric hold for 25-30. My eyes stayed fully open today for the first time, even when I was very tired.
The Timeless Face exercise for lifting up the mouth corners has always worked for me- Carol Maggios exercise hasn't.
For an exercise for younger hands, go to Carolyn's Facial fitness site.
I have also started Tanaka face massage. This is free on youtube. It feels wonderful.
I did the facial acupressure (lindsey wagner's) for 30 days & had absolutely no change.
Flaxseed Oil

Although Flaxseed oil can prove somewhat beneficial, it does more harm than good!!! It is like killing a fly with a sledge hammer.
Flaxseed oil is one of the highest foods containing ALA - Alpha Linolenic Acid. ALA is bad for the body!
ALA is a wet blanket for the enzymes that control the eventual flow of Omega 6 essential fatty acids towards the eicosanoid hormones. It knocks out both good and bad eicosanoid hormones. Knocking out the bad ones is good but knocking out the good ones as well creates a breeding ground for cancers!!!
This work is found by Dr. Barry Sears who wrote THE ZONE diet book. He won a Nobel prize in science for his discovery of the eicosanoid hormones and how they function. His advice to keep healthy hormones is to avoid all foods especially Flaxseed oil, which contains ALA. ALA is also found in egg yolks, walnuts, corn and canola oils as well as, Beef, pork and ham..
ALA foods, suppress immune system, increase inflamation, decrease oxygen flow and endurance and constrict airways while also causing blood platelet aggregation.
You may want to rethink your Flaxseed oil remedy. Like I said its like killing a fly with a sledge hammer.
Response to Janice: I think your error is in picking out one chemical alone and ignoring all the other fail-safe chemicals that our creator put into this plant. Most plants (even the non-hybrids) have a few harmful chemicals but other chemicals included in them make them safe to eat or take as herbal remedies. Hence my pokeweed berries that are supposed to be poison, but 40 years past first beginning to appreciate their good qualities, I have nothing but good to say about them although they are supposed to be poison.
The below info on flax seed oil comes from the Federal Government's Data Base on plants compiled by James Duke, PHD. This is only a small part of information on chemicals in flax & their actions.
I also wrote down some of the chemicals found in flax seed:
acetic acid 3,105 - 3,853 ppm (ACV is 5% actic acid)
alanine - antioxidant, cancer preventative
alpha linoleic acid l08,000 228,000 ppm
magnesium 3,715 -7,002 ppm
tocopherol 57 ppm (Vit E)
tryptophan, lysine, and other amino acids
I can also add that I have taken quite a bit of flax seed oil without any harm or unwanted side effects. Jim Duke's book "The Green Pharmacy" also includes flax seed and flax seed oil.

Re: Janise from Los Angeles, I am a student about to graduate with a B.S. in Dietetics (on my way to becoming a Registered Dietitian) and I actually just covered this subject: Alpha Linoleic Acid is Omega 3 essential fatty acid. Omega 6 is what we consume too much of in the Western diet and it is what interferes with the function of Omega 3. Naturally we are supposed to consume these two essential fatty acids in a 2:1 ratio, but in our diet the ratio is closer to 20:1. Due to the elevated Omega 6, all those symptoms that you mentioned (i.e. inflammation) are actually aggravated. Omega 3 (alpha linoleic acid) is very important and very beneficial, as it is important for the composition of tissues, membrane phospholipids, retinal photoreceptors, cerebral gray matter, testes and sperm. It also produces eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Studies have shown that increased consumption of omega 3 fatty acid improves a number of conditions and promotes general health. In summary, flaxseed oil is good for you. Your argument appears to be the opposite of what health professionals advocate.

Flaxseed oil is used to make linolium {lino used as a floor covering} Lino is oxidized linseed oil. Flaxseed/Linseed is a highly volatile oil (oxidises easily). If you must use it, only buy cold pressed oil in a dark bottle and store it in your refrigerator. Throw out any unused linseed oil after 3 weeks. Otherwise you will just be making lino on your blood vessels. The most volatile oil of all, is canola oil. The most stable oil is coconut oil.

Actually flaxseed oil can't be that bad. Many people use flaxseed oil mixed with cottage cheese to cure cancer. Read about the Budweig diet.

Hi Spring, Flaxseed is very high in phytoestrogen even higher than soya 3x, and estrogen dominance leads to a lot of problems in both men & women. Somebody in Canada analyzed the estrogen content of of foods. A lot of pesticides & virtually all plastic contains estrogens so we are are bombarded with estrogens because soya is just about in every product & camouflaged with very fancy names to confuse you.

I am willing to bet a yearly income that that was a medical person responding to that flaxseed cure. You use the oils, I use the seeds, organic i might add, then i grind them up and add them to all kinds of foods. It is healthy for the body to have 3 bowel movements every day. I struggled with that for years. Not any more. A few tablespoons in my cottage cheese and waalaa. It's poopy time. Lol not just like that, but it will work it's way to let you know, hey: it's time. It is not a right now kind of thing. Sometimes it's all day before i sit down to go. This is another of the best ways to remove those bad things left in the body. Also, eat as organically as you can. It cost a bit more, but your life is priceless. You are worth all the effort. Trust me.
