God's foods

A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body!God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are in deed pure heart and blood food. Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart.

Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3)dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs ofthe body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries .

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Our planet is filled with the foods necessary to keep us healthy. It also contains many things that are not good for us in great amounts. But it takes man's intelligence to know what is right to put into his body. We all make the choice.

Garlic and Honey Seminar

I thought I was back at my very first Slowfood event. It was 5 years ago that I went to Gary and Mimi Verhaeghe 's Coffee Creek Ranch. Did that day change my life forever! I met Jasper and the Slowfood group there. If I had not gone there, I would have never met Christine. I remember the spinach with garlic that Jasper cooked in Gary's kitchen, topped with Gary's honey. Then there was this mason jar that Jasper brought, it was cherries to go over his gelato ice cream, only they had been soaking for a month in amaretto. WOW!!!

On the 5th of November this year, I got to share with Christine the taste of heirloom garlic. It was a evening at Jasper's. Hilary Cooley and Donna Cook and her son were at our table.

We started with a garlic tasting. We had to rate 7 heirloom garlics and some of them were hot and some were mild. Sitting at a table with people tasting garlic is a real quick way to get to know someone!!! Ha, Ha!

Gary gave us the history of his family in garlic. The Aime varity is the one his Grandfather Alphonse Verhaeghe started in 1919. It was named after his uncle Aime Verhaeghe, who passed the garlic on to Gary. This one originated in Europe. The taste is hot and zingy.

We tasted the garlic pieces.they hit your mouth in different bursts. The Russian Red was my favorite. Sixteen years ago I did a report in Culinary school on garlic . It is so interesting, I try to eat it in most foods.

We also had a great dinner prepared by Jasper. He served Riccota and olives with honey drizzled over the top. Then we had a carrot, potato, and garlic soup; which Christine still needs the recipe. A pasta dish with lots of garlic came next. That was followed by 40 clove garlic chicken. Wow! Then to finish it off, garlic gelato, just like we had at the first event. Lonnie Williams set this event up as the first time. Lonnie was the very first Slowfood member in Kansas City. http://www.slowfoodkc.org/

Gary's e-mail is gmpv@aol.com His company is the Coffee Creek Ranch in Stilwell, KS. He did a great job telling us all about garlic; he gave out recipes and also instructions on how to grow garlic.
Read of the small producers and their products, we need to support them.
