I know it is boring, but today was pretty much the same as yesterday with regard to what I had to drink. But that is the realm of fasting. There is a lot going on, but more on a non-verbal/non-physical level. There are wonderful things you experience when you are fasting that you cannot experience any other time.
I would like to talk to you about two things tonight: Irish Moss and Blood Oranges.
Irish Moss, because it is a seaweed, contains Iodine, many vitamins and minerals.
It is an excellent tonic, good for all lung problems
and especially useful for the thyroid when it is under productive (hypothyroid).
Irish Moss is said to be very good for tuberculosis, bronchitis and intestinal problems.
It is used sometimes in dietary uses
as a gel or a thickening agent. In medical uses it forms a
gel or viscous solution internally which coats the
gastrointestinal tract which makes it an excellent applications
for ulcers. It also seems to inhibit the release or
formation of stomach acids which is also somewhat
healing for gastric or duodenal ulcers. Irish moss can
sometimes be added to the regimen when you are trying
to purge gastrointestinal parasites as it, like Slippery
Elm, makes the tract very slippery and causes the
parasites to pass very easily.
Also, Irish Moss is said to have 15 of the 18 essential nutrients necessary to support human life.
It makes a great addition to smoothies, in addition to its health benefits as it is a great thickening agent.
The Blood Orange is an amazing little citrus fruit. It is slightly less acidic than other oranges, and contains a lot more C and Potassium than other types of oranges. Even though they are small in size, they are great for juicing and the juice has a rich, sweet,slightly tart flavor. In all my years of doing 40 day fasts, this is the first year I have juiced blood oranges. They are wonderful...
Well, I hope this has helped you in some way. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me...
All the best always,
Yoel
