OCCUPY RAW - Reclaim Your Right to Self Heal!

Scott Mathias - Wednesday, October 26, 2011
By Scott Mathias Integrative Health Coach and Creator of iLifeFoods.com

Right now is the time to ‘Occupy’ a space of personal or group sovereignty.

Millions of people around the world are activating their inner desire to reclaim their rights as human beings to be fairly and justly treated; their rights to a house and food without being prey to the whims of the greedy corporate money lenders.

The Occupy Wall Street movement is leading the vanguard in the western world just as the Summer of Egypt led it in the eastern world. It’s all about a lack of Governmental and corporate love and caring for the rights of the people. For too long rights have been trodden under the feet of beauracratic administration – red tape in the guise of ‘threat to national security’ – ‘we know what’s good for you’ adage and we will choose what you eat, what we inject into your body and whether you are entitled to have a roof over your head and food in your belly.

The same applies to the totally outmoded medical-pharmaceutical model which most people know and understand to be broken and driven only by the corporate desires of the medical and pharmaceutical industry to achieve massive and mind boggling profits.

The sickness industry is alive and well and what are you doing about this ?

The only way a change to the old world model of managing sickness to one of promoting health care and awareness will change is if you stand up now and and say NO-MORE!!

Taking charge of your own healing process – becoming your own Doctor – infact becoming your own ‘Phytonutritional Facilitator’, will be the start of a new wave of consciousness to sweep the planet. It always starts with the ‘power of one’ then the 100-monkey effect kicks in – 2-4-6-8 and so on. 

Raw is just one way to align your body’s natural bio-energetic balance. Plant food contains the resonating patterns which are 1000% aligned with your DNA. Science is even showing us that the levels of phytoenergy in plant foods far exceeds anything the eyes can see but meets the needs, and beyond, of the body’s own bio-cognitive resonance.

Sometime ago I took myself to my personal vision of being whole, complete and balanced. I own this vision, even to this moment, by witnessing my mind and listening more intently to my body. You are invited to do the same.

Vegetarianism – Veganism and now Raw Food was the progression. I can feel when my body is fed with LIVE food. It dances to a tune which it hadn’t heard for lifetimes!! Now I use my heart and mind to reconnect with my body to create a symphony of healing and supportive energies.

I Am my own healer. I know my body more than and better than any other person, so therefore I am able to heed its calls for healing food and so can you!!

Learn to LOVE RAW. I know within myself I actually never ever needed to eat the flesh of another animal, be forced to drink the milk of a cow which has been artificially forced to lactate almost 12 months of the year or eat the seeds of the wheat plant which contain a deadly gluten which most digestive systems are unable to break down.

Its time to Occupy Raw and Reclaim your right to self-heal

Would you like a sense of Nutritional Freedom with RAW Food ?

Scott Mathias - Thursday, September 29, 2011

 Scott Mathias is Integrative Health Coach and Creator of the iLifeFoods.com range of SuperCellFoods

 Right now I'm feeling a sense of freedom and liberation around the changes taking place with my diet. At the same time I am also coming understand how powerful religious, political, social and cultural forces are in determining what we should eat.

 I was bought up in New Zealand and post war was virtually force-fed dairy products in order to support the emerging dairy industry there. So too bread and wheat products to help get the South Island wheat industry up and running after WWII .As a consequence I experienced what I now look back on as horrible digestive issues which I know impacted on my ability to feel good. The right nutritional information wasn't getting through to my cellular system.

 Now, quite some years later I might add, I am over the need to eat what is on offer via the supermarket or what is shown on TV or in the newspapers. I eat what I know my body loves and enjoys.

 I am now enjoying pampering myself and see creating food as part of my daily meditation where I can offer thanks to the earth for all she has done and continues to do for me

 I want to show you some of what I have eaten in the last 24hrs - each morning anyway I start my day with a fruit/vege smoothie which includes some of the iLifeFoods dried VegeShot or VegeShot Smoothie Booster. I love little raw treats more and more. What I did the other night was an avocado creams with garden herbs et al on top of cucumber slices!!!. I like something special too as my main course - a Zuccipasta - raw zucchini pasta with a RAW tomato sauce with the same ingredients I used when I used to prepare a cooked tomato sauce. Finally I like to do a RAW sweet which is really quite different to a cooked sweet - this time a new twist on an oldie but a goodie - Coconut Kefir with cacao powder and strawberries topped off with coconut palm  sugar - makes the old chocolate mousse look a tad tired doesn't it ?

 

Tropical Fruit Smoothie           Avocado cream on sweet cucumber               Zuccipasta with RAW tomato sauce

Tropical Fruit Smoothie : Blend a frozen banana with mango, paw paw (papaya) , pineapple, 1 sachet of VegeShot Smoothie Boost Serve garnished with a twist of kale.

Avocado Cream served on Sweet Lebanese  Cucumber : 2 creamy avocados into a blender with the juice of a lime, handful of garden herbs -basil, majoram - pinch of sea salt . Blend and serve on slithers of cucumber and topped with a baby grape tomato and drizzle with macadamia oil and add a grind of pepper.

Zuccipasta with RAW Tomato Sauce: Firstly blend your sauce - 4 largish Roma tomatoes , large pinch of dried Italian herbs, glove of garlic, touch of red onion,fresh basil, 1 small red chilli, pinch of seasalt and ground pepper and small sprinkle of coconut palm sugar. Blend together until smooth and creamy. Set aside. take two largish zucchini or courgette and using a small Gefu Spirelli Spiral Cutter.This is a great little device into which you slide your courgette or zucchini or cucumber..it will also do a sweet potato if you clean and prepare it to fit neatly into the end.

I have some of these great little hand operated beauties coming so if you want to put your name down for one then  just email me

I like to spend a moment giving some thought to how I can introduce a safe sweet finishing touch to my meals. Sometimes its dried fruit based and sometimes its something just a wee bit special - such as a beauty I created the other night .

Coconut Kefir with cacao powder and strawberries and topped with a sprinkle of coconut palm  sugar. Put 6 strawberries in the blender along with several good dollops of the creamy kefir mixture, add a teaspoon of raw cacao powder and blend together until a smoothy creamy consistency. It turned out sensationally when served in a small liqueur glass and by the way you might care to add a drop or two of your fav liqueur into the mix to give it an added zing  if you wish.

So what is Coconut Kefir I hear you ask ? Well its two 600ml cans of Organic coconut cream into an airtight jar into which you add one 'Natures Own' Kefir starter sachet. Stir it thoroughly and  let it sit on the kitchen bench for a few days until it starts to go nice and sour and then put it into the fridge where it will solidify. This is the best stuff for helping to get new flora back into the tummy AND its not milk based.

Kefir has its origins in the middle east where the culture is added to cows and goats milk to create a form of cultured yogurt which helps in the process of digestion and maintaining stomach flora.

Raw food with a balance of fats, carbs and proteins and has been  a transformational experience for me . I was a vegan for many years but was still taking some light protein from time to time  like fish and chicken. When I dropped flesh of any kind I began to feel even better and more alert. Then when I began to just eat non cooked vegetables I found my energies and general state of body and mind slipped up another notch.

It is very simple to slot one's brain into gear around preparing raw food but for many its a difficult task when all that 'seems' to be on offer is the usual 3-dimensional food of meat and three veg and plenty out of a packet.

I can help you understand more about the RAW approach to life and living and teach you how to prepare the food you see on this page. I offer three day intensives built around my own lifestyle and using an Integrative Nutrition approach. I also offer nation wide - global wide - 3 and 6 month Health and Wellbeing programs and my very popular 4 hour 'RAW in the Kitchen' experiences based from my cottage in Doonan, 10 minutes South of Noosa, about 1.5 hrs north of Brisbane. If you would like more information please email me to find out more information and dates and times for classes. For the longer health programs I offer an initial FREE HEALTH ASSESSMENT.

Why your gut absolutely needs fermented foods for building good bacteria and enzymes

Scott Mathias - Tuesday, July 05, 2011
Fermented Foods, or cultured foods, contain bacteria in the form of micro-organisms.  They are jam packed with beneficial enzymes and bacteria which assists in efficient food digestion. Fermented foods supply and nourish intestinal bacteria. 

  Fermented food, as it is broken down by the digestive process, produces enzymes, moulds, yeasts & lactic acid bacteria.These organisms predigest the foods, breaking down the complex proteins, carbohydrates and fats so the body can more easily assimilate amino acids, simple sugars & fatty acids for use. 

  The action of the culture organisms makes the minerals in fermented foods more easily available to the body.  The bacteria also produces B Vitamins – which we know are great for cell metabolism, immune & nervous system function & energy production!

 Fermented vegetables like kale & cabbage are a great source of Vitamin C.  Due to the vegetables being fermented, your body is able to absorb the vitamin C which will assist in adrenal & thyroid health! Vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins are crucial to adrenal health. Being water-soluble vitamins, they are easily depleted and may need regular supplementation, making fermented foods a great choice.

Directions to make: Use the cole slaw attachment on your blender and chop up half a cabbage, 6 carrots, handful of rehydrated wakame seaweed, 3 gloves of garlic and a 'clutch' of dill. Pack into a rubber-sealed-clip-down-top-jar. Add a weight to the top, clip dowm and leave in a warm spot for 7-10 days. When ready you will notice a strong fermenting aroma.This is GOOD!!  Use a tablespoon with each meal to add good bacteria and enzymes to your stomach.

Picture shows: Fermenting cabbage, carrot, seaweed, garlic and fresh dill

Vitamin C is stored in high concentrations in the adrenal glands, & as adrenal function assists in regulating hormone balance, it is important to ensure the adrenals are nourished.

Fermented foods are very rich in enzymes that are produced by the culture organisms and take part in the processes of fermentation. This means that eating fermented foods assists in the digestion of other foods by building up the enzyme supply. The more good bacteria in the gut, the more easily the body can produce enzymes.

There are more than 150,000 different types of enzymes in the human body and all functions of the body require them including neutralising toxins and downgrading hormones in the liver, removing waste products from cells, storing surplus nutrients in the liver and muscles and building mineral levels in nerves, bones and blood. The proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the food we eat must be broken down into simpler units to enable the body to absorb.

Here @ iLifeFoods we also ferment rehydrated green papaya flesh, skin  and seeds to great effect. The papain enzyme combined with the action of fermentation creates a very powerful digestive aid.

  Dried pieces of high grade Australian green papaya flesh, skin, leaf and seeds are now available in bulk 500g packs enabling you to ferment you own 'super enzyme rich' papaya. Note: we only use Australian grown green papaya. There is Indian grown product available but it is of inferior and suspect quality (watch out for rodent faecal matter!!)

Please email us directly for details of pricing and delivery for dried pieces of papaya flesh ready for fermenting CLICK HERE

150g jars of dried green papaya are now available which can be used either for further fermenting or for making a daily Green Papaya tea from.
