Recipe to help people suffering with Cancer


A woman who remained anonymous that lived in Bosnia, wanted to share her recipe to help people around the world that have suffered the ravages of the horrid disease, cancer.

This recipe only includes two ingredients, ginger and honey, that is extremely easy to prepare. The Bosnian woman claims this recipe brought her back to life. She suffered from cancer of the endocrine glands and because of this she was connected to machines for 3 weeks. However, she managed to heal herself without chemotherapy or an operation, thanks to this medicine.

To prepare this recipe you will need 2 large roots of ginger. Clean the ginger and grind them into very small pieces.

Next, mix the ginger into around 6 cups of raw organic honey.

Put this mixture in an airtight container. Consume 4 tablespoons of this throughout a day everyday. Make sure you do not use a metal spoon. Use a plastic or wooden spoon only.

You should notice the improvements somewhere around after three days.

How to Have a Happy, Healthy Liver...



Is your Liver Working Properly?  Did you know that without water your liver can not flush toxins out of the body?

We are 70% water and most people do not consume the correct amount of water on a daily basis.  The recommended amount is half your body weight, in other words a 180 lbs person should drink 90 ounces of water every day. 

Your liver “bags up” environmental toxins, like bagging up the trash, in a two-phase system of enzymes:

Phase One: consists of 50 enzymes that oxidize or reduce toxins.  That is, these enzymes either add electrons or remove electrons from toxins to give them an electrical charge.

Phase Two: consists of six different enzymes pathways that conjugate toxins to various organic compounds.  That simply means that these enzymes attach or join (conjugate) the electrically-charged toxin which another compound.  This makes the toxin water soluble so it can be flushed from the body via the kidneys or the colon.   This is why a good supply of water is helpful to the liver.

Foods to Enhance Liver Detoxification

In order to do this job properly these enzymes systems require a wide variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids.  So, if you’re feeding your warrior liver a diet of refined and processed foods, don’t be surprised if it wimps out on you when you need protection from chemical toxins.

It’s also important that your liver gets adequate amount of antioxidants.  This is important because the detoxification process produces free radicals that can damage the liver if there aren’t enough antioxidants to protect it while doing its job.

Sour foods are said to tonify the liver. Such as, unsweetened lemon water, black cherry juice, wolfberry and mangosteen.    Thai Go contains many sour fruits that can tonify your liver and provide the antioxidants it requires.

Dark, green leafy vegetables and onions, garlic and cruciferous vegetables are also great liver foods. 

Constipation and your liver

Believed to affect 25 percent of the population at any given time, constipation is different for each individual.  It has to do with the hardness of the stool (bowel movement) rather than how often one is passed. In a healthy individual one or more movement per day is desirable. The quicker toxins are eliminated from our body the less time they have to either ferment or cause other problems.

Mostly constipation is due to poor dietary habits, or by not going to the toilet when nature calls! This results in the bowel reabsorbing water and therefore making the stool hard.

Over a period of time, a layer of toxic waste products may build up on the lining of the sluggish bowel. This build-up can cause inflammation in the bowel, and the toxins are absorbed from the bowel and travel back to the liver via the portal vein. The liver has to work much harder to break down these internally produced toxins and symptoms of liver dysfunction may result. Thus constipation can lead to headaches, abdominal bloating, fatigue, allergies and skin problems.  This is called autointoxication or “a state of being poisoned by toxic substances produced within the body”.  I like to call it “Living in your own toxic soup”!

Colon Hydrotherapy and the Liver

You can’t clean your liver unless first you clean your colon.  Pathways must be open to dump the toxic sludge removed from the liver.  If you are planning to do a liver flush it is absolutely essential to make sure that one does colon hydrotherapy before and after each liver flush. It is extremely important to remove any stones that remain in the colon because once these stones disintegrate or decompose; a lot of toxins are released from these stones and also by the decomposing bacteria.

Not only will colon hydrotherapy open the pathways to allow the waste to be removed but it hydrates the body as well as allowing the colon wall to heal from years of abuse.

Combining Colon Hydrotherapy, adequate intake of pure clean water and diet changes can and has make dramatic changes toward having a Happy Healthy Liver.

Colonics for Detoxification and Weight Loss

Sherrie Rogers, MD., of Syracuse, New York, one of the worlds leading authorities on environmental medicine states in her book "Detoxify or Die" that toxins are not normal to the body, they are not meant to be metabolized by the body and we do not have the metabolic machinery to completely detoxify them.

Consequently, the body will have an allergic reaction when it is attempting to reject or expel the toxin or it will store the substance because it does not know how to handle it. Dr. Rogers also states that biopsy studies that were performed by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) showed that 100% of the people in the study had dioxins, PCB's, dichlorobenzene and dylem.  The PCB's are one of the most dangerous carcinogens known to man.  Hazardous chemicals like these can be found in breast milk in women living in the Artic Circle.

ColonicsAs these toxins accumulate in our body they cause what the scientist calls "the body's toxic load" or "toxic burden". At first we "feel a little off", but soon we become used to it. Then we start popping pills to feel a little better and consider this part of the aging process. We then resign ourselves to the thought that this is the general progression of time.

The FDA tests these substances for their toxic effect individually. No one, not the FDA, consumers or the Government knows exactly what effect consuming hundreds of these toxins on a daily basis will have on the body and, of course, it is impossible to test each person's exposure to the thousands of new products released on the market each year.

Americans' unhealthy relationship with food has caused us to gain weight.  First of all we eat entirely too much. With 24-hour markets, drive-thru and fast food restaurants, we have access to food 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

FAR-Infrared Technology - Health Benefits

Want to find out more about weight loss and saunas:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv0qKhbDnAA

Detoxification Thousands of environmental toxins saturate every aspect of our living environment. These toxins are unavoidable and are often absorb into our bodies. Since humans are bio-accumulators, the large quantities and numerous types of toxins we are exposed to overwhelm our bodies’ ability to metabolize and get rid of them naturally and thereby accumulate in our bodies. In time, the poison from toxins may result in immune symptom problems, such as chronic pain syndromes, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer So, how can you best get rid of these harmful toxins? Body detoxification through sweat in a Vital Sauna! Our revolutionary Vital Rays Far Infrared Carbon Technology coupled with the Magnetic Flux Therapy System is the perfect solution for helping your body get rid of the environmental toxic chemicals (pesticides, heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and hydrocarbon residues). The infrared heat energy deeply penetrates tissues triggering mobilization of chemicals from fat storage and directly into sweat and the magnetic therapy promotes metabolic processing of toxins to help your body expel them. Your body is your temple…it is vital that you take care of it!  


Weight Loss Weight loss is one of the great benefits of using our Vital Saunas every day. A single therapeutic sauna session will burn as much as 300-600 calories. Another problematic and difficult to get rid of waste is cellulite, a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes that are trapped in pockets below the skin. The infrared heat can assist this condition, as profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwanted debris from the body. Magnetic therapy can facilitate the metabolism process and thereby speeds up the removal of these wastes.  


Cardiovascular Health A heating effect deep in the muscular tissues and internal organs is caused by the infrared rays generated by our Vital Rays Far Infrared Carbon Technology. Our bodies respond to this deep heating effect via a hypothalamic-induced increase in heart volume and rate. This heart stress is beneficial because it leads to a cardiovascular training and conditioning effect. Medical research confirms that the use of a sauna provides cardiovascular conditioning as the body works to cool itself and involves substantial increases in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved overall cardiovascular fitness. Your heart is your most vital organ, take good care of it!  


Pain Relief It has been proven that heat reduces pain sensation by direct action on both free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. The Vital Rays penetrate heat deep into the skin, over 1 ½ inches into the muscle tissue, and alleviates symptoms such as back pain, sprains, strains, joint stiffness, muscle spasms and headaches as well as pains due to conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Magnetic therapy can assist in relieving the pain by blocking pain sensations. It improves blood flow and oxygen to enhance the body’s natural healing process. The improved blood flow and fluid exchange to the injured tissue helps reduce pain and inflammation. Heal your body with Vital Saunas!  


Skin Beautification Vital Saunas are excellent for increasing blood circulation to the skin, which is essential for beautiful, youthful, glowing skin! This increased blood flow brings important nutrients to subcutaneous and surface tissue, promoting cellular activity and growth. By freeing your skin from accumulated dirt and dry skin cells you will experience a new inner glow. The Vital Rays help firm and improve skin tone and elasticity. Infrared heat has been noted to reduce acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and any skin lesions or cuts. Additionally, open wounds can heal quicker with reduced scarring. Magnetic therapy has been known to positively influence conditions of aging. Keeping your skin healthy is a vital part of maintaining a healthy body!  


Body Flexibility Studies show that tissues heated to 130° and then stretched have exhibited an elastic elongation that persists long after the stretch is removed. A Vital Saunas’ infrared heat is a therapeutic haven for athletes looking for a pre-workout to warm up muscles for range of motion and increase flexibility to help prevent injury. It is also ideal for pre-warm-up for physical therapy and massage therapy, or for a relaxing your muscles after a long workout. Magnetic therapy has been noted to help increase athletic endurance and performance, as well as promote the healing process of body aches and inflammation reduction Improving your body’s flexibility is vital to living a healthier life!  


Relax & Rejuvenate Perhaps the most immediate relief you will get from basking in a Vital Sauna is simple relaxation, as it melts away the stresses and tensions of the fast-paced life, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! Infrared heat will give your body an overall massaging effect, soothing jangled nerves and knotted muscles. Magnetic therapy can help reduce stress and enhance your body’s energy supply!



Lower Blood Pressure Studies show that repeated far infrared sauna treatments improve impaired blood vessel functions in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. This suggests a preventative role for infrared sauna use for arteriosclerosis.  


Blood Circulation
Heating of muscles with infrared heat produces an increased blood flow level similar to that seen during exercise. Body temperature elevation also produces an increase in blood flow. As your body produces sweat to cool itself, your heart works at a higher rate to pump blood, increasing your overall circulation. At the same time the increased work load from your cardiovascular system helps free up harmful molecules in your blood vessels, allowing your body to flush them out through your sweat glands. Strong evidence suggests that magnetic therapy may help to increase blood circulation.  


Cancer Therapy Some researchers believe that infrared therapy can help stimulate the body’s immune system by elevating body temperature. The infrared sauna’s deep heat penetration raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. As it works to combat the “fever,” the body’s immune system is strengthened. The intense heat also stimulates production of white blood cells and therefore helping to target tumor cells. Studies have shown that extreme heat protects healthy cells and makes tumor cells more susceptible to radiation. This makes infrared heat a useful addition to cancer therapy treatment as it enables the use of lower doses of radiation. Other studies have shown that breast cancer was less prevalent among women who frequently use infrared saunas.
