'It is our privilege, our obligation, to create for ourselves a new design for living.  Every time we think, something new is being done.  God is not a static God and there is no time when creation begins, in the eternal now Spirit moves upon the face of the waters.   In the eternal now, by thought, Spirit moves as the Law of the Universe and out of it arises a new creation.'

Modified Dr Rau's The Swiss Detox Diet Week One DAY 1

To suit the local food produces and climate, I have modified the above diet:

The Swiss Detox Diet by Dr Rau - Day 5. Get healthier, save the environment by eating more green. The bonus is you will lose weight and slim down!

I embarked on this detox program coupled with prayer retreat (to detox both physical & spiritually) from the 29th Nov, 2010 until now; wish to write an update and the changes experienced:
  In the short span of 4 days:
1. sleep better
2. facial complexion and skin color clearer
3. lip color healthier
4. surprisingly energy level seems to have increased
5. smaller tummy
6. clearer mind (cool & calmer)
7. bonus - loss weight and slimmed down. 

How do I find the program by Dr Rau:
I have went through one program by a self-taught local 'health specialist', the program was much more tiring non-stop preparing detox juices, coffee enema...  I almost gave up on the third day because I was so hungry no solid foods were allowed not even salad for the first week.

I thank God with the strength of prayers and Dr Rau's diet allows you to eat salad, green vegetable, oatmeal...
(next post I'll share with you the diet plan of Dr Rau).

 

How to make and use Eco-enzyme or Garbage Enzyme.

How to Make Garbage Enzyme

Black (brown) sugar is one of the ingredients needed for making garbage enzyme.

 
 

This kitchen waste is another ingredient used for the production of garbage enzyme.


 

 


These bottles contain kitchen waste with black (brown) sugar and water. Fermentation will take place in the bottles for 3 months.  Then after filtration and removal of the residue, garbage enzyme is obtained.  The residue can be used again for a new batch of production by adding fresh garbage.  The residue can also be dried, then blended and buried in the ground as a fertilizer.

Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand.  Garbage for making enzyme does not include paper, plastic, metal or glass materials.  Avoid oily cooked food, fish or meat residue. Orange peel, lemon peel or pandan leave will produce better scent.  The ideal colour of garbage enzyme is dark brown. Add in same amount of brown sugar to re-ferment if the enzyme turns black.  It may have white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme, ignore it.  If you encounter worms in the container, leave it for a while and close the cover tightly.  If you have not gather enough kitchen waste, you may fill up the container gradually.  The 3 months fermentation period start from the last day you add in kitchen waste. 

1. Leave some space for fermentation.
2. Make sure the container is airtight.
3. Release the bottle cap at least once a day for the first few weeks to let out built-up gas; gently shake the bottle to mix the garbage; then tighten cap again. (More gas will be emitted during the first few days. Once there is not much gas emitted, you don't have to do this everyday. This also depends on the size of the container and room temperature.)

Uses of Garbage Enzyme
Garbage enzyme has many uses for the environment, agriculture and even in homes. 

Recycle garbage waste to save the environment. Why the use of enzymes?

Our mission is to spread the importance of using enzymes to protect our environment and slow down global warming and its harmful effects.  The purpose of this website is to educate the people of the world on how to produce and use enzymes in their homes and farms. We hope that more and more people will come to appreciate the usefulness of enzymes and each of us would do our part in using enzymes to reduce global warming for a healthier living environment. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and it is projected to continue.

Increasing global temperature will cause the sea levels to rise, and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events.  Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, trade routes, glacier retreat, many species extinctions and increases in the ranges of diseases.


The increasing frequency of heat waves in the temperate zones, typhoons, hurricanes and floods are signs of the changing weather and climate patterns and all these come about largely due to global warming -a combination of the greenhouse effect and other natural phenomena like solar variation and volcano eruptions.

Unless drastic measures are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, global warming will continue to worsen.  However, global warming can be reduced by using garbage enzyme. So do your bit and help reduce global warming for a cooler and healthier living environment for all of us! Help save Our Earth!

Use Enzyme to Reduce Global Warming

What is Garbage Enzyme?
Dr Rosukon's Garbage Enzyme is a complex organic substance of protein chains and mineral salts and juvenile hormones.

Functions of Garbage Enzyme
- resolve / decompose
- transform / change
- compose / make up / combine
- catalysis
As a result of catalysis, ozone is produced which can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and this in turn reduces global warming.

This enzyme can be produced easily with the organic waste from our kitchens.  During enzyme production, O3 + NO3 + CO3 are generated and these could help purify and whiten the clouds in the sky.  Those clouds that trap lots of heavy metals appear dark. Those dark clouds cause more heat to be trapped on earth due to the greenhouse effect. O3 (ozone) from the garbage enzymes could reduce the heavy metals in the clouds and this would reduce global warming.

More NO3 (nitrite) in the air is useful as nutrients for the plants and soil.

If every household makes and uses garbage enzyme, it would help tremendously in the reduction of global warming.

Well done mom! My mom is now an acitivist of saving the environment.

My mom is 76 yrs old this year she is doing her part to save the environment and so can you.

My mother who has been using those Eco-enzyme or Garbage Enzyme that I have made, to fertilize her vegetable.  Her comment is that the vegetable is much more tender, tastier and more healthy to eat.  It is truly an accomplishment to 'renew' her mind not to use artificial fertilizer which she had been using for more than a decade. Well, she took a paradigm shift!

She hires workers to plant vegetables and supply them to vendors to sell at the local markets around Kota Kinabalu.

See how green the vegetables after using this enzyme:

What about papaya? Read more about it. Materials obtained from different sources e.,g International Journal of Food Science & Nutrition, May.

  

Papaya was the only studied food found to halt breast cancer.
Scientists studied 14 plant foods commonly consumedin Mexico to determin their ability to halt breast cancer cell  growth. These included avocado, black sapote, fuava, mango, prickly pear cactus (nopal), pineapple, grapes, tomato,  and papaya. They also evaluated beta-carotene, total plant phenolics, and gallic acid contents and antioxidant capacity. They found that only papaya had a significant effect on stopping breast cancer cell growth.  
 (International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, May).  Papaya is a store-house of cancer fighting lycopene.The intense orangey-pink color of papaya means it is chock full of cancer fighting carotenoids. Not only beta carotene, but lycopene is found in abundance. The construction of lycopene makes it highly reactive toward oxygen and free radicals. Scientists at the University of Illinois think this anti-oxidant activity contributes to its effectiveness as a cancer fighting agent. Epidemiological studies have indicated an inverse relationship between  lycopene intake and prostate cancer risk. They showed that oral lycopene is highly bioavailable, accumulates in prostate tissue, and is localized in the nucleus of prostate epithelial cells.
 

In addition to antioxidant activity, other experiments have indicated that lycopene induces cancer cell death,   anti-metastatic activity, and the up-regulation of protective enzymes.
Phase I and II studies have established the safety of lycopene supple! mentation. (Cancer Letter, October 8, 2008)Prostate cancer was the subject of a study in Australia that looked at 130 prostate cancer patients and 274 hospitalized controls. The scientists found that men who consumed the most lycopene-rich fruits and vegetables such  as papaya were 82% less likely to have prostate cancer.

In this study, green tea also exerted a powerful anti-cancer effect. When lycopene-rich foods were consumed with green tea, the combination was even more effective, an outcome the researchers credited to their synergy. ( Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2007)
 
 
 Isothiocyanates found in papaya restore the cell cycle to
 eliminate cancer. Organo-sulfur compounds called isothiocyanates are found in papaya. In animal experiments, isothiocyanates protected against cancers of the breast, lung, colon pancreas, and prostate, as well as leukemia, and they have the potential  to prevent cancer in humans. Isothiocyanates have shown themselves capable of inhibiting both the formation and development of cancer cells through multiple pathways and mechanisms. (International Journal of Oncology), October, 2008)
Researchers in Japan clarified the mechanisms of action in a type of isothiocyanate found in papaya known as BITC,  that underlies the relationship between cell cycle regulation and appropriate cell death. When cancerous cells die on schedule, they are no longer a problem. The researchers established that BITC exerted cancer cell killing effects  that were greater in the proliferating cells than in the quiescent cells. Cancer cells that are proliferating are much more dangerous than cancer cells that are in a state of dormancy. (Forum of Nutrition, 2009) Enzymes from papaya digest proteins including those that protect tumors.
 
 The fruit and other parts of the papaya tree, also known as the paw paw tree, contain papain and chymopapain,  powerful proteolytic enzymes that facilitate chemical reactions in the body. They promote digestion by helping to break down proteins from food into amino acids that can be recombined to produce protein useable by humans.
 
 Proteolytic enzymes protect the body from inflammation and help heal  burns. They do a good job
 of digesting unwanted scar tissue both on the skin and under its surface.

  Research has shown that the physical and mental health of people is highly dependent on their ability to
 produce proteins they can use effectively. However, as people age, they produce less of the enzymes needed to effectively digest proteins from food and free needed amino acids. They are left with excessive amounts of undigested protein which can lead to overgrowth of unwanted bacteria in the intestinal tract, and a lack of available amino acids.
 
 Eating papaya after a meal promotes digestion, and helps prevent bloating, gas production, and indigestion. It is quite helpful after antibiotic use to replenish friendly intestinal bacteria that were the casualties in the war
 against the unwanted bacteria. When the intestinal tract is well populated with friendly bacteria, the immune system  is strengthened, and can better protect against flu and cancer.
  

Being a proteolytic enzyme, papain is able to destroy  intestinal parasites, which are composed mostly of protein. To  rid the body of intestinal parasites, half a cup of papaya juice can be alternated each hour for twelve consecutive; hours with the same amount of cucumber or green bean juice.
 
  Papaya contains fibrin, another useful compound not readily found in the plant kingdom. Fibrin reduces the risk of   blood clots and improves the quality of blood cells, optimizing the ability of blood to flow through the
 circulatory  system. Fibrin is also important in preventing stokes.
 
 Proteolytic enzymes containing fibrin are a good idea for long plane rides to minimize the potential of blood
clots  in the legs. People who sit at a desk all day might want to use proteolytic enzymes too.
 
 Proteolytic enzymes are able to digest and destroy the defense shields of viruses, tumors, allergens, yeasts,
 and   various forms of fungus. Once the shield is destroyed, tumors and invading organisms are extremely
 vulnerable and easily taken care of by the immune system.

Undigested proteins can penetrate the gut and wind up in the bloodstream where they are treated by the immune system  as invaders. If too many undigested proteins are floating around, the immune system becomes overburdened and unable   to attend to the other tasks it was meant to do.

 Proteolytic enzymes can  digest these rogue proteins, freeing up the   immune system.
