Raw Cookies! Wellness Center Special!

WELLNESS CENTER SPECIAL!

FREE Vitality Tanning Session with Every $50.00 you spend in the grocery store from Friday December 9 – Friday December 16!


WHAT DO WE DO EACH DAY?

People often ask members of our family what supplements we use. I thought I would share with you what we do each day!

AFTER our quart of lemon water the members of our family 14 years on up take B12 each day (1-3 tablets), Bee Pollen (1-4 teaspoons), an oil of some sorts (Coconut oil, flax seed oil, fish oil) and Vitamin D3 (Many of us LOVE the Vitamin D3 vitality bed!) If we have not eaten a lot of sauerkraut (which we do) we will enjoy a synergy or take probiotics.

Our younger children have enjoyed the following for years: A B12 tablet that we smoosh in a spoon, vitamin D3 drops or tablet smooshed, Barleans Kids DHA oil ( FANTASTIC for the BRAIN!), and then a half to full teaspoon of a flavored plant oil from Barleans ( Mango Peach, Strawberry, etc.) They also have a dropper or two of Kid e Mins and a dropperful of our NEW Calcium for kids, and a few times a week a dropper or two of Kid e Mune. If for some weird reason they get “backed up” and have not had a bowel movement that day, they get Kid e Reg two times that day!

I tell you, as a mother there is no better feeling than knowing the children are well protected, and have strong immune systems! Oh, if they do get a sniffle? Then Kid e Well and oil of Oregano!

We do use other herbs if we feel we need to. I myself am using oil or Garlic and our Ear and Nerve formula, two drops of each, in my ears at night as I have had ringing in my ears since the beginning of training on the CEDSA. Too much to do! Now I wait the wondrous self healing that herbs bring, as we have witnessed countless times in the past.

We then head over to the blender for our green drink!

Jen and Heather are both enjoying their CEDSA detoxing and health program and feel GREAT! Heather just this morning (Heather is our intern and she lives with us for the next many months), said “I really feel a difference, I feel what is going on in my body, more in tune, and I have more energy. I feel like everything is in harmony.”

Ok, Jen wants to add because SHE is excited too “I had lower back pains when waking up in the morning, and after taking the support for the endocrine system (the adrenals) it feels great! My upper neck and shoulders and my Jaw had aches and pains. I had his for so many years and it is going away. I think everything is now working synergistically, and life is wonderful!”

Thanks for asking!

RAW COOKIE Recipes from somewhere! I made a few changes along the way…Enjoy!

Raw Chewy Shortbreads!
This is a chewy yummy shortbread.
Ingredients
• ½ cup cashews (I like Brazil nuts too…)
• ¼ cup coconut flakes, (grind into a powder in the blender first)
• ¼ cup sesame seeds or hemp seeds, (grind into a powder in the blender first)
• ¼ cup flax, (grind into a powder in the blender first)
• 2 Tbsp. agave nectar
• 2 soft pitted dates
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ½ -1 tsp. almond extract
• dash of sea salt
Directions
In a food processor, grind cashews, coconut, sesame and flax until it reaches a flour-like consistency. Add agave, dates, vanilla and sea salt, and process into a ball of dough.
Flatten the dough as though you were making traditional cut-out cookies. Cut the dough into whatever shape you want.
Dehydrate for at least 24 hours to make them nearly crisp, but still a little chewy (I always preferred the Chewy Chips Ahoy over the original).

Raw Thin Mints
Ingredients for the wafers:
• 1 cup almond meal or cashews or Brazil Nuts (grind cashews into a powder in the blender first)
• 1/4 cup coconut flakes, ground into a powder(grind into a powder in the blender first)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 Tbsp. agave nectar (or sweetener of choice)
• 2-3 soft pitted dates
• 1 tsp. peppermint extract
• dash of sea salt
• optional: add 1/8 cup flax seed meal ground fine

For the chocolate coating:
• 2 T cocoa powder
• 2 T raw agave syrup (or other sweetener of choice)
• 1/2 t coconut butter or coconut oil or other nut oil .... OR 1/2 t filtered water

Directions
In a food processor, combine almond meal, ground coconut and cocoa powder. Add the agave, dates, extract and sea salt, and process to create a ball of dough.

Flatten the dough into a sheet, and cut out cookie-sized circles. Put the cookies in your dehydrator, for 12 -24 hours flipping once, until crisp.

Now make the chocolate coating:

Mix the agave syrup and the oil or water together.

Slowly whisk the raw cacao powder into the agave syrup mixture, mixing it in until well-blended into a smooth sauce. The amount suggested here is a rough guideline. How much cacao powder you will ultimately use depends on the consistency you want.

Once the cookies are done, dip the them in the raw chocolate and allow to set in the freezer.

SAINT NICK WILL LOVE YOU

CEDSA FINDINGS
We named the CEDSA testing room “Safari Sunrise” for a reason! Every time we do a scan on someone we discover really neat things! A few things we found were quite interesting, but I will not share too much this newsletter. One thing we found was that quite a few people have arsenic in their systems. When we traced it to the source, we found it was from their soda! An article that I just read in the newspaper revealed that bottled apple juice was found to have arsenic as well. When foods are packaged and water is added, there is little to NO requirements in some states to meet safe criteria. Juices, sodas, and bottled waters are loaded with chemicals, including fluoride if bottled with city water, and the consumer has no idea! Having an Electro Dermo Stress Analysis is just like a safari as you discover where your strengths and weaknesses lie.

FOR ALL TESTS BEFORE JANUARY 1st, the price will remain at $150.00 AND you will receive a FREE Ionic Foot Bath or TWO Vit D Vitality Light Tanning sessions. Call today to schedule your appointment!

A NOTE ON WATER
As mentioned above, when you pick up a bottle of water at the gas station, you can almost be guaranteed there are chemicals in that water you would NEVER let enter your bodily system. If city water is not distilled, or run through an RO system, you are digesting your neighbor’s pharmaceuticals and chemicals that are added to city waters (including the toxic chemical fluoride) that can simply NOT be removed!

The GOOD news is that you can purchase a distiller here at Nature’s Garden, or from many places on-line. The Reverse Osmosis water systems are fine, but does not remove arsenic, bacteria, nitrates and viruses as distilled water does. Another choice? Nature’s Garden now offers TAYLA water fresh from the tap!

Our water results just came back with great findings. Our well has been labeled “Total Coliform Safe or Bacteriologically Safe”, we are free from E.Coli, floride and chemicals!

Bring your water container and fill up with TAYLA water for only $2.99 a gallon. Please visit our TAYLA water page on our website to learn the incredible benefits of this amazing technology! TESTIMONIAL: One of the families that have been drinking only TAYLA water for the last many months from our store had wonderful things happening. The father had numbness in his hands for years. By the third day all his numbness was gone! The wife started to detox rapidly, and the children (who were a bit skeptical) will not drink the city water any longer! They LOVE TAYLA and they feel the difference!

Now I am not making these claims, but you can read many testimonies on our website and other websites from those who do use TAYLA water! Please realize that by law we need to remind you that we (our products, our knowledge, or our wellness center features) cannot diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. But we promise YOU sure can! GET EDUCATED on everything you digest or absorb!

Note: Our family drinks both distilled water and TAYLA water each day. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the difference TAYLA water has made to our home. It was worth every penny we spent on that system! (A great Christmas gift for your home, the appliances, and the outside and inside of all who live there! Call us at 262-629-4300 if interested!)

GETTING EDUCATED
We had a TERRIFIC turn out to our Cancer and Chronic Disease class! 42 people joined in the first presentation of this cellular, quantum physics and technical class. So many more people wanted to come, and all of us were quite on fire, that I have decided to offer this class each month just as we do the Living with Energy class. More details to come! EXCITING!

ROSE WAS STOLEN AT NATIVITY
The Nativity display was so wonderful again this year with 754 nativities and the Streets of Bethlehem were just bustling with excitement and actors in period costumes. The tax collector was scary, and even stole Rose right from her father when he did not have enough money to pay taxes! He found some real quick! (Roger was the inn keeper……really neat!) Mary and Joseph did finally find place up in Roger’s stable behind the inn, and Rose directed them. It was so nice to see so many of you! We hope you enjoyed a jump start to the Reason for the Season! Merry Christmas! Next year: the first weekend after Thanksgiving!

ENJOY THE WEEK AND……
Remember Nature’s Garden for all your healthy, local, organic, safe supplements, and raw food needs!
