Replacing Ice Cream with Frozen Fruit.

Ice cream was always my weekend cheat food.  It was my “go-to” cheat that I would indulge in, having reached maintenance phase and I often looked forward to it a great deal, really able to indulge, but while not going too crazy with toppings and whatnot.

I would opt only for the Turkey Hill natural brand or Bryers, the varieties of both that contained very few ingredients with no additives.

The only thing I was contending with was a huge sugar dump and some likely poor quality dairy.

A new organic ice cream came out at my local grocer, but I never got around to trying it, and may sometime soon.

But in the meantime, I decided to just do fruit smoothies on the weekends instead.

I was anxious to see if I could get used to them as an option.

Like anything, it took a few weeks to stop craving the ice cream, but it did happen.  What I like most about this new option is that I get a load of fiber to help “chase” the other cheat foods I have on the weekends (often a restaurant dinner like Mexican or Thai) and help ensure a healthy and easy “exit” the following morning of that food.

So, so far, so good.

At this point, there is even a chance that I am too LOW on sugars overall, considering my workout routines. 

So I’m monitoring that as well.

Proven Relief for Shingles

It simply makes sense.

Vitamin C is an incredibly potent anti-viral nutrient.

I’ve experimented with mega-dosing, and as long as it is done correctly, responsibly, and with respect for the vitamin, it is an incredibly potent and effective medicinal vitamin.  Pretty much no disputing it.

In a recent issue of Medical Science Monitor reported on the results of using an IV of C for two weeks to obtain overwhelmingly huge results…almost 95% of the subjects seem to have obtained tremendous benefits.

The amount of C they used surprised me, as being somewhat lower than I imagined.  The specifics were not mentioned, but I’m going on the assumption that they used a sodium ascorbate as the IV solution, and they did not mention whether oral ascorbic acid may have been used in conjunction, which would have been my chosen route for full saturation.

Every time these items are reported, I can’t help but get a bit angry.

Why hasn’t this been tried and reported on decades ago, while countless people (including someone I know closely) have suffered with the pain involved in dealing with this condition?

It makes me want to…

…I can’t even say what it makes me want to do to some specific organizations that seem absolutely determined to keep relatively safe and yet highly effective alternative solutions out of the public’s reach.
