Many of you could kiss me for this one…

Introducing The Diabetic Pastry Chef - a cool blog by a (you guessed it!) diabetic pastry chef, where she shares all of her best baking tips with readers on how you can prepare delicious, diabetic-friendly and carb-sensible desserts that can rival their sweeter, naughtier counterparts.

This is NOT your average chalky protein bar type of deal. I’m talking real pastries, cakes, pies, cookies, custards, etc. You guys know how finicky I am about my food.

It’s a very unique site, with a huge readership following this lady from various online forums that prompted her to start her own blog. Her readers have tried her recipes and totally rave about them on the forums. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

The Diabetic Pastry Chef updates her blog frequently, so you’ll want to stay tuned to it daily for the latest awesome diabetic and lower-carb dessert tips!

SWEET - in more ways than one!

Got fibroids, blood clots, cysts, or tumors, or know anyone who does?

Try Vitalzym, a systemic enzyme supplement that dissolves this stuff in your body.

Vitalzym is a systemic enzyme supplement that is meant to be taken on an EMPTY stomach so it can do its work to dissolve non-living matter in the body.

- Vitalzym is natural. It contains no animal derivatives, artificial flavors, yeast, or gluten.
- Vitalzym is lactose free and contains no harmful talc.
- Vitalzym is produced with enterically coated enzymes.
- Vitalzym’s formulation permits it to operate in an extremely wide pH range, allowing for better absorption in the stomach.
- Vitalzym uses pure high-potency enzymes rather than extracts.

There is a difference between systemic and digestive enzymes, so PAY ATTENTION.

This web community consists of passionate Vitalzym users who have achieved tremendous success with using systemic enzymes to dissolve cysts, tumors, clots and such in their bodies. Some folks have even posted before and after measurements of their tumors from using Vitalzym. Others post their medical test results that prove that the tumors, cysts, and fibroids are gone!

WHAT ARE ENZYMES?
Enzymes are life. They are the catalysts that make processes happen in the human body, including digestion. Without enzymes, there is no life. Enzymes are powerful digestants. If you sprinkle a multi-enzyme digestive supplement into a bowl of cooked oatmeal, in about 20 minutes, it becomes pure liquid.

However, there is a difference between using digestive enzymes on a full stomach
to properly digest your food and systemic enzymes such as the Vitalzym supplement on an empty stomach to dissolve foreign matter in your body.

Note: When taking digestive enzymes that contain Amylase, always take an alpha-lipoic acid supplement like Insulow along with the digestive supplement. Amylase is an enzyme that quickly breaks down carbs. If your feet or hands tingle after taking a digestive enzyme, now you know why. That’s the beginning of nerve damage and pre-diabetes. The last thing anyone needs is a rush of sugar in their veins.
Insulow is excellent for directing sugar into muscle cells instead of into fat cells or the bloodstream. If you wonder how I can eat all of the sweet stuff I feature on my blog and not gain weight or get diabetes, Insulow is my answer.

Now you can say you actually learned something today!

I realize some of the items that I feature on my blog are not brand new to some of my readers.

However, my primary intention with this site is to bring what is not common public knowledge to the mainstream.

The products that I am exposed to here in Los Angeles or that you may have known about eons ago in New York, D.C., or Miami may be the greatest thing since sliced bread to someone who lives way out in the boondocks.

I have used Biofreeze ointment for about a year, and I absolutely love it. I can’t live without this stuff! It really and truly works to relieve pain. I’ve used Biofreeze on my temples to get rid of a headache, and it works LIKE A DREAM! My massage therapist rubs it on my back before she gives me a deep tissue massage. She can really get in there and work those muscles when I’m all numbed up from the Biofreeze.

When my feet are tired after a day of standing in spiked heels, I rub some Biofreeze on my tootsies and give myself a really good foot massage. I can really get in there and rub out what’s causing the ache without feeling any pain. By the time the Biofreeze wears off, my feet are completely healed and relaxed. Awesome!

Per the Biofreeze site:

Biofreeze is a topical pain reliever and does not enter the bloodstream.

Cryotherapy works by creating a cooling sensation that is transmitted through the nerve endings to the brain. It transmits at speeds faster than most pain sensations or warming sensations. Unlike icing an area, Biofreeze allows blood to continue to flow to the area so that it can be naturally repaired.

The best place to purchase Biofreeze is through a licensed Health Care Professional in your area. Check local yellow pages for Chiropractors, Podiatrists, Athletic Trainers, Occupational, Massage or Physical Therapists.

You do not need a prescription, nor do you need to be a patient of the Health Care Professional in your area to purchase Biofreeze from them. Biofreeze is not a retail product and is not available through a pharmacy or any retail environment.

Biofreeze is an over the counter topical analgesic pain relieving gel. It is labeled according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations regarding topical analgesics. All ingredients, product use and product warnings are listed on the label.

Please remember that Biofreeze is a topical pain reliever, not a cure to an underlying condition. It provides temporary pain relief. If you have any questions regarding the product or use of it , please consult your Health Care Professional.

Biofreeze is not intended for headache relief, but many people apply a small amount at the back of the neck or around the temples, and forehead. If you use Biofreeze for headaches, please take extra precautions to keep away from the eyes and mucous membranes.

I’m telling you, this stuff is WONNNNNDERFUL!

According to Dr. Sandra Cabot’s site, The Liver Doctor, the way for some people
to lose significant amounts of weight is by cleansing and healing their liver.

Per the site:
“More than ever before in the history of mankind, human beings need to have healthy livers to break down the chemicals that have crept into our environment. If you talk to radiologists and gastroenterologists who are looking at people’s livers today they will tell you that the condition “Fatty Liver” affects more than 50% of people over the age of 50!

Common causes are incorrect diet, excessive alcohol intake, adverse reactions to drugs and toxic chemicals, and viral hepatitis. Dr. Cabot believes it is because modern-day medicine has become sidetracked into treating the symptoms of diseases and not the causes. Excess weight is a symptom of liver dysfunction and not solely due to the number of calories you consume.

We have been attacking the symptoms of weight excess with fad diets, obsessional high impact aerobics, stomach stapling and toxic drugs, such as appetite suppressants, laxatives and diuretics. We have failed to consider the underlying cause of
LIVER DYSFUNCTION and indeed we have virtually ignored the hardest-working organ in the body, with dire consequences.”

Love your liver!

I can’t express enough what a difference having a showerhead that filters out chlorine and other nasties has made in the look and feel of my hair and skin…even my lungs!

It’s such a simple concept, but oh so beneficial. Filtered showerheads rock!

My skin used to be so sensitive after I would take a shower, and my hair felt gummy and gross. I couldn’t figure out why. It only happened once I moved to Los Angeles.

Three words: poor water quality.

You know that burning sensation you feel in your lungs post-shower? Believe me when I say chlorine vapor is the culprit. Isn’t that disgusting?

Bathing kids and pets in chlorine-filled H2O is one of the worst things you can do to them. I would never bathe a newborn baby in heavily-chlorinated water.

Folks, I hate to be the bearer of bad news…but that white, ashy crust on your skin may not be dry skin. And likewise, that film on your hair may be the result of chlorine buildup.

You can pile on the conditioners and lotions, but if you’re covered in chlorine, they simply won’t penetrate.

I am certain that the chlorine in my shower water is what was making my face all acne-prone and itchy, and made my hair so gnarly and matted.

Once I installed a filtered showerhead, my hair and skin absorbed conditioners and lotions like a dream. My skin is no longer dry, and it is virtually flawless. My hair is so soft now!

I could tell an enormous difference even after the first shower with my new showerhead. I use less soap and less shampoo and conditioner this way because they actually reach my skin and hair. A little product goes a long way, which is much more economical!

If you have zits, itchy skin, dry and cracked feet, ashy elbows, brittle hair, and burning lungs, you now know the potential evil. Do something about it!

I don’t know when my addiction to carbonated beverages began. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that my bottles were spiked with Pepsi and Sprite as a baby.

I always knew carbonation was bad for me, but I never realized just how bad it is until I stopped consuming it altogether.

Suddenly, my waistline is cinched and more slender. I don’t look or feel puffy anymore. I’m not gassy. Not that perfect me ever had issues with gas, I’m just saying…

I could only wonder, what in the world does carbonation do to the human body to make it expand and swell like I had experienced? It must be pretty potent stuff to cause me to loosen my belt buckle a notch after partaking in it.

I always heard that most sodas are acidic. I had no idea that Coca-Cola has a pH level of 3 on the pH scale. A lemon has a pH value somewhere in the range of a 2! That is really scary, and makes me want to develop amnesia as to how much Coke I have sucked down over the years.

Add the phosphorus and calcium-leaching factor to your soda, and you have a sure-fire recipe for rotting teeth, acid reflux, calcium loss, and bone weakness.

I’m not referring to the occasional soda drinker. That is NOT the person in question here. I’m talking about those of us with an addiction to sodas that we just can’t seem to shake.

You know who you are. You drank more than five cans of Coke yesterday. Or maybe you switched to Diet Pepsi because you thought it was a healthy substitute.

I am proud to say that, save for the occasional glass of champagne (of which I will never completely abstain), I am now an avid water drinker. My food tastes better! I’m slimmer!

My best advice on the topic is to ease up on the sodas, tapering off gradually. I never thought I could do it, but I have.

This may sound trite, but if I could do it - anyone can. Here’s to your health!

I was always notorious for having cold fingers and toes. Even when the rest of my body was warm, my extremities felt like ice cubes. Can you relate?

A while back, I was given a beneficial health tip regarding circulation that was so simple, I just had to try it. The secret?

Cayenne!

Folks, this really and truly works. I haven’t found anything that works as fast and effective to get my blood circulating and to bring heat to my icebox feet. Per the National Institutes of Health, cayenne may be helpful for diabetics, as well. Not cayenne capsules, but organic cayenne powder.

So instead of reaching for thick socks and the thermostat, I have gotten used to taking a teaspoon of cayenne powder straight, with no chaser.

Keep in mind that I’m more of a rebel than you may be, and I adore spicy food, so I actually get a sensational adrenaline rush off of this. You can take cayenne whichever way suits you best. Some people take it with a tiny bit of food or in a cup of warm water. You’ll be surprised at how effective this is!

Cayenne has also been widely reported to stop a heart attack dead in its tracks.

Curious to learn more?

I have spent literally hundreds of hours combing the Internet for the best possible nutritional supplements. My search did not include synthetic-based products. I wanted raw, real, whole food-based nutrients.

How many people can actually say they eat the ideal amount of organic fruits and vegetables, herbs, sea veggies, and all that good stuff every day? Do you?

I already take a food-based multivitamin, but I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something even better out there. I’m such a Curious Georgette.

Lo and behold, I have unearthed our bounty -
Galaxy Nutrients! Folks, these are the real deal.

In laywoman’s terms, I will say that one of the factors that makes their products different and better than the others is the soil on which their nutrients are grown. Galaxy Nutrients endeavors to provide the most biologically-active, truly LIVING nutrients on the planet.

So how can one tell if something is biologically active?
I found this article on Chromatograms to be very enlightening.

Imagine THE ENERGY you will have with not only eating healthier, more organic foods, but by supplementing (where needed) with energy-packed, raw food nutrients to fill in the gaps! Not dead, petroleum-derived poisons posing as nutrients, but
PURE NUTRITION.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Galaxy Nutrients.

I have yet to try these supplements, but I plan to do so sooner rather than later.

The Galaxy Nutrients site is filled with plenty of informative tidbits about their products. You can’t get better than real food nourishment!

I am a regular, everyday person. Sure, I’m in Hollywood and have access to the best plastic surgery in the world. But it’s just not me to go that route.

About five years ago, I had a Mediterranean vacation scheduled in the upcoming week.

Since I looked like a meatloaf, I figured trying something was better than doing nothing. My boyfriend gave me a gift certificate to get a Suddenly Slender Body Wrap at one of their official centers.

Hey, now that I think of it, was that a hint?!

At any rate, I made my appointment and went to the center, not expecting much of anything, really.

They measured my body before they wrapped me from head to toe, and I looked like Return of the Mummy, covered in mineral solution-soaked bandages. They also put clear plastic bags on my hands and feet.

When I asked my specialist why in the world she was doing that, she cheerily chirped, “To collect the toxins. You’ll see.”

And see I did!

My specialist instructed me to get on the treadmill and lightly walk for what I think was like 15 minutes or so while watching TV.

She explained that the motion would help the toxins to start flowing, and the minerals would extract those toxins from my skin. Or something to that effect. The specialist also reassured me that if anything, I would feel cool, not hot, while I was on the treadmill.

To my amazement, a good ten minutes into exercising, I noticed that those plastic baggies were filling up with dirty water. Yuck! My specialist explained that those were my flushed body toxins.

The unofficial, unscientific explanation of it is as follows: When the human body is filled with toxins, it retains more water to dilute the toxins in the bloodstream and cells to prevent them from poisoning you. When you release the toxins, the retained water flushes out with them.

Now here’s the good part…

After all was said and done, I really didn’t notice much of a difference, except that my skin felt like silk (from the mineral solution) and I felt peppier. But I kinda looked the same. I got dressed, left the center, and just went about my life.

I really didn’t give it much more thought. I was too busy shopping and packing for my trip to fuss with details like measuring inches and pounds lost from my Body Wrap.

I truly didn’t notice until I arrived to the Mediterranean and slipped into my bikini - with ease, looking like a red-hot mama!

I couldn’t believe it!

I looked in the mirror and had to do a double-take, because my body was utterly TRANSFORMED. I mean, I completely morphed into a Glamazon of Divadom. I had a naturally cinched waist! No back “fat”! No jelly rolls! ZERO cellulite!

You better believe if I’ve never used the word “sauntered” before, I’m gonna use it now to illustrate my experience!

I sauntered around that beach, shimmied into cute little cocktail dresses, the whole nine. All this from ONE Suddenly Slender Body Wrap. It took a few days for all of the toxins to flush out of my skin and kidneys, but it was well worth the wait.

Please note: I am NOT affiliated with Victoria Morton, the Founder of
Suddenly Slender, in any capacity. I’m just a really, really happy customer, and I am elated that I found something that WORKS!

I’m telling you - MEN and WOMEN - you gotta try one of these body wraps. You won’t believe it… Especially if you have a paunchy middle! I think they should be mandatory.

Here’s to no more lumpy folks hurting our eyes at the beach!
