"Stand up to cancer" by preventing and/or reversing it with the cures we have ALWAYS had, in nature.🥕

Pharma and mainstream medical do not cure anything. They may temporarily kill off tumors with their toxic "treatments", but they also permanently destroy all the healthy cells in your body, so the cancer can return with a vengeance, later.

Carrots, dandelion, garlic are just a few of the powerful remedies in your own backyard (get planting, if you haven't already).

I reversed my own, along with my mother's and several client's cancer diagnoses with dietary changes that included fresh pressed carrot and dandelion juice, along with lots of fresh garlic. Your body will be stronger for it. 💯

Pharma has no interest in keeping you healthy, they only want you as a lifelong customer.

I HATE baking. I'm not a patient chef so the precise measuring and lack of spontaneity and freedom drives me crazy. That is why you will rarely see recipes for such, on any of my sites. HOWEVER - this GF Honey Oat Bread is an exception. I will never buy GF bread again! This quick bread is fast, easy and so soft yet substantial. It can be a healthy snack on its own. Make it!

Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1-1/3 cup oat flour
1 cup GF all-purpose flour
2-1/4 tsp (aluminum-free!) baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1-1/4 tsp salt
8 ounces plain coconut yogurt
1 large egg
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup nut or oat milk

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 with rack in middle of oven. Generously grease a 9x5 loaf pan with extra avocado oil, and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, yogurt, oil, egg, honey and nut milk.

Pour yogurt mixture into the flour bowl and gently stir to combine until just mixed. Do not beat together, or bread will be too dense/tough.

Scrape into prepared loaf pan and smooth with t. Sprinkle whatever you would like to garnish your bread top with, such as oats, sunflower seeds, etc.

Bake 40-50 minutes, until browned on top and toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center.

Allow to cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Turn out on to the cooling rack and allow to cool until just barely warm - approximately 45 minutes to one hour.

Wrap or store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.

Reason #587 to grow your own produce; Beware of lettuce labeled as "Conscious Greens". It constitutes the first CRISPR-edited “food” item available to consumers in the United States.

CRISPR, which stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat, was used to edit the DNA of mustard greens, removing a key gene that gives them their pungent flavor.

Amazingly (yet not surprising), U.S. regulators do not consider gene-edited foods to be genetically modified, even though they are. As a result, none of the CRISPR produce items coming down the pipeline from Pairwise have to be labeled – meaning you and your family will not even know you are eating them.

Founded in 2017, Pairwise had successfully raised $90 million by 2021, and another $25 million since. All that cash will allow the company “to bring new varieties of fruits and vegetables to market.”

In other words, Conscious Greens Purple Power Baby Greens Blend is just the beginning. Pairwise is planning to unleash a host of new GMO produce items that will slowly begin to take over all the natural and organic fruits and vegetables sold at American grocery stores.

Back in 2022, researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital announced that using CRISPR in human cell lines increases the risk of large rearrangements of DNA. Consequently, the risk of cancer increases dramatically when used in that manner.

Pairwise is already said to be developing blackberries with no seeds – seeds are very nutritious, by the way – and cherries without pits – meaning you will not be able to reproduce them yourself by planting the leftover seed.

Tampering with DNA can produce many unexpected consequences as the God-designed DNA that was originally there becomes foreign and unpredictable, rendering it toxic in the case of food.

Knowing what is in your personal care products is critical to the health of your family. Physicians do not attribute the majority of health issues we have to the everyday products we are using in our home and on our bodies, because, like nutrition, it is not a part of their education. Our skin is our largest, most protective organ, and what we expose it to on the daily, either harms or heals. The FDA does NOT restrict the following toxins (even though most are banned in other countries). Companies are not even required to list fragrances, for example, on their product labels. Do your own research and avoid the following top offenders, at all costs;

Fragrances - this will be on the label, but not the exact chemicals used!
PEG's
Petroleum
Phthalates
Parabens
Aluminum, lead, heavy metals
PFOAS, PFC's, Teflon
Synthetic Vita A - Retinyl Palmitate, Retinoic Acid
Methylisothiazolinone (named "allergen of the year" by the American Contact Dermatitis Foundation)

All the above toxins are found in commercial laundry detergent, body lotion, colognes, perfumes, air fresheners, anti-bacterial products, make-up, sunscreen, bubble bath, candles, cookware, deodorant and anti-perspirants, hair products, toothpaste, and the list goes on...

All of the above have multiple studies proving they cause hormone and endocrine disruption, chronic allergies, cancerous tumor growth, organ damage, immune suppression, birth defects and reproductive system damage. I have seen it in my own clients. The U.S. still deems them as "generally safe", because people aren't literally dropping dead, suddenly, from using them. When you are continually bombarding your largest organ with these toxins, however, problems will arise, sooner or later.

There are many natural alternatives, and even homemade versions that are effective, and will also save a ton of $$. If you don't have time to DIY, here are a couple I buy from;

Clean People
Wellnesse
Health Ranger Store products

You can also support natural detox with these foods;

Chlorella
Dandelion
Cilantro
Apple Cider Vinegar
Coconut oil

We only have one body, and we all want to feel our best and have happy, healthy kids! www.eatwholeandthrive.com
