should turmeric be taken with food

this is john kohler with okraw.com. i haveanother exciting episode for you today. we’re on a field trip and we are here at las vegas,nevada at pure health. and this is a health food store. now one of the interesting thingsabout pure health is that it’s actually owned by people who eat raw food. they’vebeen into raw foods for about 10 years. they’ve owned the store for about 5 years. so it’sa really unique combination. most health food stores prior won’t let me in the door withmy camera and film in there because they know i’m gonna talk stuff against all the productsbut actually i’m really welcome in here to talk stuff about the products because theowners have this probably many same opinions that i do on many of the supplements in there.one of the components that they do here is

that they do education and they wanna teachtheir customers how to be healthy, including things like raw foods and juices, becausein my opinion, that’s definitely the answer to health. because health doesn’t come ina bottle. anyways, what i’m gonna do today is we’re gonna go inside the store. i’mgonna go ahead and give a tour to you guys. and show maybe some good supplements and andthe bad supplements. some of the things you may need and some of the things you may notneed as somebody into raw food. pure health is centrally located here in lasvegas at washington and buffalo, and their hours are monday to saturday, 9am to 7pm.they’re closed sunday. the specific address is 7575 west washington street number 129.before i go into the store i need to give

a disclaimer here, anything in this videois for entertainment purposes only. if you have a medical condition, please see a bonafidemedical practitioner that can help you with your condition. and whatever i’m gonna sharewith you guys today is my opinions about stuff inside the store. so, ending the case, let’shead inside the store and check some of these supplements out. now, we’re inside pure health and this maylook like as standard supplement shop to you because there are a lot of the products ontheir shelves in bottles. but, you’d be mostly right, but a little bit of wrong becausea lot of the products they feature here are actually a whole food supplements. and what’sa whole food supplement? well, a whole food

supplement is derived from foods fed in natureinstead of you know chemicals found in a factory. so the first point that i wanna share withyou guys is that it’s always best to get your nutrition from the food themselves andnot visit a supplement store. i mean, think about it. why is it called supplement? becauseit’s supposed to supplement your diet you know. if you would have a fast food diet,you’re not getting good nutrition. you may have the supplement with real nutrition. butit shouldn’t be in bottles, it should be fresh fruits and fresh vegetables grown inmineral rich soils that you get the highest quality and you get the highest level of mineralsand antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. and more importantly, the phytochemicalsand phytonutrients that are now up and being

discovered and researched in all these amazingplants. so first off, i wanted to just tell you guys that i think that you know most supplementsin this store are hogwash. that being said, if you do have a medical condition, you shouldsee a doctor. but if i had a medical condition and doctors said “you know john you needto take this drug”, i’d much rather come to a supplement store like this and take anherb than take a drug that mediate a situation that i have personally. what you wanna doon your personal life is up to you but that’s definitely what i would do first. so, i liketo always teach the principle of you know, good, better, best. you always wanna try todo the best you can but in my opinion the best is eating fresh fruits and vegetablesand maybe just down from that you take a whole

food supplements. and maybe down from thatyou take in a synthetic supplements so that you are not deficient in, you know, certainvitamins and minerals that you may not be getting from your diet. and that’s whati’m gonna share with you guys today. i’m gonna go around the store and actually gonnatalk about a whole bunch of different nutrients that may or may not be in a raw plant-baseddiet. so, let’s come around the store and i’ll share with you guys some differentnutrients and some of the cool products and maybe some that are not so cool as well. the first area that i wanna look at actuallyis this section right here and this is known as “raw food section”. so the raw foodsection has lot of different raw products

and i think this is absolutely the futureof health food. you know, no longer do we have things in supplements, but we shouldhave real food that in this case are dry. so you know i think it’s sad that also many“raw food” sections are basically packaged products because to me, raw food is just freshproduce. next best after fresh produce is “raw food” products and hopefully productsthat, you know, minimally processed. some of the products that i like here are likethese guys right here, “himalayan golden raisins” and these are organic. also thingslike raw “incan berries”. so these are as fed in nature except one main component:the water content, silly. you know, these foods either grapes or incan berries or capegooseberries found in nature are fresh fruits

on the planet so it’s far better alwaysto eat the fresh stuff instead of the dried stuff. although travelling with the driedstuff if it keeps you from eating heavily food stuff or processed stuff, it’s definitelyfar better. that being said, i always encourage you guys to presoak dried foods whenever eatingit, because a big challenge with many people is actually dehydration. and if you are eatingfoods that don’t have at least your level of moisture, and our level of moisture is70 to 75% water percentage, then it’s gonna dehydrate you and dehydration is definitelya big issue and can cause problems. in addition this raw food section they havethings like cacao powder that i’m not a fan of, so you wanna check my video on thatif you haven’t seen it already. but what

they do have in here is actually hard to findin las vegas is the organic carob powder, and this is the raw carob powder. i like thisguy a lot. use this guy liberally. it’s high in fiber and doesn’t have the negativeeffects that the cacao powder does. in addition, they got things like raw apricot kernels.these are have been said to be high in b17 or laetrile, definitely really important nutrientto have. they also have a selection of nuts, raw macadamia nuts. i love macadamia nuts.they have chi seeds, hem seeds, pine nuts and mesquite powder, which are hard to findsometimes, as well as olives. i’m glad that they have a raw food section featuring a lotof foods instead of just the supplements that they also offer.

let’s jump right in. let’s talk aboutb12 first because b12 is a controversial subject for people that are plant-based eaters ornon-plant based eaters. you know people would say “oh you know if you are plant basedeater then you’re gonna be deficient in b12” but i think personally that, you know,everybody may be deficient in b12. and the best way to know for sure is to get checked.so, don’t just do a b12 test, you know, from your doctor. you wanna do the functionalindicators of b12 which is the homocystein and methylmalonic acid test so that’s muchmore important. that being said, those test are very expensive so i think it’s a loteasier, in my opinion, to, you know, play safe instead of playing or being sorry inthe end. so they have several different b12

supplements here and it’s very easy to supplementto ensure that you are not deficient. the one i like the most here is this stuff righthere. it’s actually called the nutrasuma b12. and it’ gluten free and the kind ofb12 that i like is the methylcobalamin style. and this has methylcobolamin in it. and theother thing that is important to me when taking any supplement is that it has a minimal amountof other ingredients, you know, i’m after the b12 supplement for the b12. i don’twant to take one like this that has things like fructose, sorbitol, cellulose, citricacid, steric acid, natural flavors, magnesium stearate, all kinds of other stuff. so i likethis one because it’s just basically the vitamins plus the still water and glycerin.so it’s still very clean. the other thing

that’s nice about this stuff is that it’son sale here for $9.99. so you know, that’s really cheap insurance whatever your dietis. so just ensure that you guys get some b12 because being b12 deficient over a longperiod of time is definitely not a good thing. next, we’re gonna talk about vitamin d.vitamin d is a very important vitamin, and actually it’s a hormone that’s reallyimportant. now, many people in today’s age, may be vitamin d deficient. and you know,it’s basically for one reason, because people are not getting enough sun. you can make yourown vitamin d in clear just by exposing your naked body to the sun. to make your own vitamind so supplements are actually not necessary. that being said, if you live in a northernenvironment, you don’t get a lot of sun,

you may wanna take a vitamin d supplement.in that case, i’d recommend something like this, d3 serum or actually this guy righthere it’s once again the nutrasuma vitamin d3. now these are not vegan. they’re probablyfrom sheeps wool. this is the d3. the d2 is actually a vegan but it may not be absorbedas well. that being said, instead of getting these, just get some sun, or you know, geta light box that makes the right kind of light so that your body can make its own vitamind3 from the uv or the ultraviolet light. another important nutrient that may be deficienton a plant based diet is this right here, vitamin k2. now it’s not the same as thevitamin k if you are actually eating a lot of leafy greens and vegetables, you’re gonnaget enough vitamin k, but your probably not

getting vitamin k2. and vitamin k2 is generallyfound in animal products. unless you’re eating a certain vegetable based product,you’re not gonna get the vitamin k2. so that’s why i eat natto. natto is basicallyfermented soy beans. it’s originally from japan. i love it a lot. it has a unique flavor.that’s one of the best plant based sources of vitamin k2 and i’ll encourage you guysto eat a fresh natto, because you know a lot of natto are shipped in frozen and when theyfreeze the natto it may affect the k2 negatively. so if you are not doing it, take a vitamink2 supplement. k2 has a lot to do with bone formation. so if you have, you know, bonesnot forming properly or maybe, you know, low bone density, it might be because you don’thave enough k2. one of my beliefs that i want

to give my body all nutrients out there andlet it pick what it wants to eat and i strive to get those all in its whole food form insteadof taking a supplement. but of course, supplement might be better than not getting the nutrientat all. now, we’re in the section with things likethe vitamin c powders. now i definitely don’t recommend vitamin c powders. think if you’reon a plant-based raw diet and you’re trying to take a vitamin c powder, you’re an idiotbecause you’re not eating enough fresh fruits and vegetables. for example if i want vitaminc, i’ll maybe drink some orange juice or drink and eat some pineapples. many othervegetables, including leafy greens, have high levels of vitamin c as well. so, i’d muchrather do that than take a supplement out

of a package and introduce you guys to, onceagain, choose nutrition from the food instead of out of a bottle. now we’re in the enzyme section. enzymesare something that i take very irregularly also in my diet because it’s a supplementthat i do take. and i think enzymes are very important to me, and after all, it’s oneof the reasons of living for raw food diet because the enzymes are knocked-out or degradedover 118 degrees. enzyme degradation is actually a function of time and temperature. and everyfood may be different but in general people say, their 118 or as high as 140 for somenuts and seeds. you know i have some friends, you know, dehydrate nuts and seeds at 140and they still sprout afterwards. so i think

people are gonna be paranoid about that. butnonetheless, the whole point is that enzymes are very important. and you know some supplementsand enzymes maybe beneficial for you. that being said i have to had some friends do alot of enzymes and it can cause digestive challenges with them. also, you may want tobe careful. probably my favorite supplement in here overallare the probiotics. the probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that should be livingin our guts. but with the advents of antibiotics kill all your probiotics, you know, you mayhave a hard time re-colonizing them or even having them in your system at all. base onmy research, the probiotics are actually part of your immune system and they also help digestyour food. and probably a whole host of other

things that we may not even know about yet.so i definitely take probiotics regularly. a lot of people might say, “hey john, insteadof taking a capsule can i take just like some sauerkrauts.” they even sell fresh sauerkrautshere. sauerkrauts has like lactobacillus, which is one kind of probiotics. this kindactually has 8 different kinds of probiotics in there. once again, i’m kind of goingthe assumption that i just want to give my body all the different kinds of probioticsand let my body figure out which ones gonna hang out or which ones gonna base on my specificinternal terrain, because your terrain and my terrain may be a different terrain. what we’re gonna look at next are theseguys right here. these are basically just

powdered foods in a jar. so basically they’redehydrated or actually more importantly freeze dried and they’re put in jar. if you don’teat enough kale, you gonna get some kale powder. that being said this stuff like 12 bucks,it’ll be a lot cheaper buy some kale and chew it really well. or better yet, juiceor blend it up. they also have things like this, eye food powder. so this is, you know,a supplement or a whole food powder for your eyes. it contains things like blueberry fruit,carrot, sea buckthorn fruit juice, gingko leaf, acai fruit, and also some calendulaflower. so instead of buying eye powder, why don’t you just find the fresh food theylist on here and eat them? it’s probably gonna be good for your eyes. one of the powdersi like a lot that they have here, that is

actually hard to find in many cases raw andfresh, is this stuff: turmeric powder. so turmeric, in my opinion, is probably one ofthe most powerful roots. they are very high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory allkinds of cool stuff. so, eat some turmeric. if you can find it fresh, or if you can’t,get some turmeric powder. well i think a plant-based raw diet is youknow for the most part really complete diet depending on what you’re eating and if you’repaying attention. i mean, you could eat dates and nuts all day and you could call yourselfa raw vegan but it’s not very healthy because you’re missing a lot of different nutrientsin a lot of different food. so i highly encourage you guys to actually rotate your diet. eata diet the majority of fresh fruits and vegetables

with limited amounts of nuts and seeds. isee a lot of raw food recipe books and a lot of people are into raw food may eat way toomany nuts and seeds, and that can, in my opinion, cause some challenges in the long run. thatbeing said, one of the things that may be deficient in a raw vegan diet is this guyright here. it’s actually called the dha. now our body can make our own dha, but theproblem is when you don’t have the right ratios of essential fats, namely omega 3 andomega 6, then your body is not gonna create the dha like it should. so for that reasoni like to supplement some dha because once again, our brains are made out of fat anddha is one of those fats that basically are really good for our brain. one of the problemswith many people into raw food is that they

eat far too many nuts and seeds. and if youare not eating the right kind of nuts and seeds, you’re really not getting the balance,the proper balance of omega 3 to 6 that you should. even many raw food diets, like junkfood diets, may contain far too many omega 6. like if you’re eating a lot of almondsand sunflower seeds, that’s really gonna jack up your 6s. thereby, you’re gonna eata lot of 3s to balance it out. so it’s very important to, you know, balance the typesof fat you’re eating on a raw food diets. now the interesting thing is if you eat alot of leafy greens and minimal nuts and seeds, then your omega 3 to 6 balance is gonna befine because, guess what, leafy greens have really high levels of omega 3s. and you’renot gonna get the negative influence of the

6 because you’re not eating a lot of otherkinds of nuts and needs. this is how things work in nature. it’s only when people getinvolved and start eating things in abnormal quantities that would be found in nature,then you could run in some problems. so for that reason and for other reasons, becausei want to keep my brain clear of fog and be healthy, i take the dha. because i feel itcan be helpful. i have had some friends also raw for long time take in dha and they’venoticed improvements in their thought process. so that might be something, you may wannatry. now it’s very important when you get dha, a lot of it may come from a fish or thisactually maybe vegetarian algae based source, because dha normally comes from fish. nowthis actually, the source of where the fish

gets their dha from the algae and these areactually in veggie-caps as well. so this is the brand i like, the flora brand dha. now, we’re in the section of the teas. inmy style of raw food diet, i don’t necessarily drink any teas. you know i think teas arebetter than something like coffee, but it’s better yet to like, for example, grow yourown peppermint, and pick leaves off, just basically put them in water and put them inthe sun to warm up and get the essence of the mint in there and then drink it. or betteryet, just juice the mint to get the flavor and the nutrition out of the mint in yourown personal diet. one of the cool things they’re doing hereis they’re selling bulk herbs and spices.

so they have their packs here like this organiccayenne powder, $13.30. that’s a full pound. you know, just go buy a couple ounces likein the grocery store, it’s like a couple bucks. so this will definitely save you money.the cool thing that they do here is they can order things for you. they don’t have itin stock, they can order it for you very soon and you can save a lot of money on herbs andspices by getting them in bulk here at purehealth. the other question i get a lot is “hey john,what do you think of aloe vera juice?”. so basically this is juiced aloe vera andyou know what i like to say to that is that anything in a package bottle or jar has tobe preserved in some way. whether there’s preservative or heat to kill the enzymes,otherwise, the product will actually go bad.

and also, the heating and processing reducesand lowers the nutrition in the food. so i always encourage you guys to actually makeyour own juice fresh and just eat the whole foods in their natural state. so instead ofgetting the aloe vera juice, why don’t you just buy an aloe vera plant? they’ll actuallygrow indoors and you could’ve easily cut this off and actually i like to blend in thealoe vera in a blender with some orange juice. what i do is i actually cut off a leaf andtake off all the green coloring, just use the center clear jelly part and put that inthe blender with some orange juice and man that is delicious. when was the last timeyou had an orange juice aloe vera drink? the next section is a section that has gottenpopular over the last few years is basically

mushrooms as medicinals. they have a lot ofdifferent mushrooms powdered up, dr. paul stemets. basically, this company has hostthis fancy mixed medicinal mushrooms in bottles. now, i’m not a big fan of eating mushroomsas a food, but as you know as medicine, i would definitely take it. i think some ofthe mushrooms can have a very beneficial effects in the body and may just give you the punchyou need sometimes to get through certain things. so one of the new areas i’ll belooking more in the future is actually the medicinal use of mushrooms because i thinkthey can be beneficial. another thing i wanna talk about today isthis colon cleansing kit. they sell colon cleansing kit here. you know colon cleansingand cleansing in general on a raw food diet

can be very controversial. there’s peoplethat really agree with it and people that really don’t. where do i sit? well i’mkind of somewhere in the middle, you know. i mean just being on a plant based raw dietis cleansing amongst itself. another way to cleanse really easily is juicing or even waterfasting. not juice fasting because juice fasting is really juice feasting cause you’re reallyeating but water fasting. and if you’re definitely gonna water fast, i recommend thatit is supervised. that being said when i got into raw food, originally i started by firstjuicing and then i got into major duty colon cleanse by dr. richard anderson called “therise and shine” . this is actually very similar to it. and you know that really helpedme to clean out all the gunk. and then i went

pretty much all raw after that and it reallyhad a profound effect on me and it may have a profound effect on you. that being said,you know i always encourage you guys to do the best that you can and fill out your bodyand see what feels right. whether you want to cleanse out slowly by juicing and eatingfresh fruits and fresh vegetables in the form of raw food diet or whether you want to goon a colon cleanse. i definitely think it’s all good because you are moving in the rightdirection, that’s what really counts. they have a small book section here at purehealthand probably my favorite book they have here is this guy right here. it’s actually called“the cure is in the cause” by dr. ruza bogdanovich. and actually i did hear dr. ruzatalked before and if you pay close attention

to the title “the cure is in the cause”. what this book talks about is if you are healthy to begin with and you didn’t dostuff to compromise your health, you wouldn’t be sick. and the cure is in the cause becauseyou know most people look to a supplement shop or to the doctors for the cure, for themagic pill, the magic bullet that’s gonna make them better. but my opinion, health resultsfrom healthy living. and basically getting out of the way and avoiding some of the marketingthat’s thrown out there that eat certain foods and what not. we wanted to just getback to simple diet of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables as majority of our diet, and takeaway the cause and guess what, i think that may be the cure.

now we’re in my most hated section of thewhole health food store here and we’re in the protein section. especially proteins likethis i really dislike highly it says raw vegan protein, and this is raw vegan protein powder.and so you know when you walked into a store like this, you’d see “oh! they got rawvegan protein powder” you would automatically think a raw vegan diet is deficient in proteinbecause you got to buy supplements, right? well completely hogwash. that’s totally, you know, not accurate if you’re eating properly, so leafy green vegetables have moreprotein by calorie than even meat does. i mean where does the meat or the animals getthe protein in it, you know, that we end up slaughtering for their meets. well they eatleafy greens through grass and other plants.

unfortunately, factory farmed animals eatyou know corn and soy that are probably genetically modified. but nonetheless, even from cornand soy, they make the protein that’s in the meat that they’re literally slaughteredfor. i don’t necessarily recommend you to do that and i don’t recommend you to buya raw vegan protein powder. i just recommend you guys eat copious amounts of greens. ipersonally eat about 2 pounds a day and besides greens, other fruits and vegetables also containprotein. but if you are concerned about getting enough protein, we’re gonna go to otherside of this rack and they do have some whole foods that are also protein because theseprotein powders are often extracted or highly processed foods. for example, they use hempprotein powder which is basically they take

the hemp seeds and they extract out the oilthen they have what’s left. and they seal that, bag it up and sell to you protein powders.so instead it’s far better to buy hemp seeds and eat those instead. but on the other side,there’s much better in my opinion and higher in protein than hemp seeds and other nutsand seeds. better than the protein powders you guy justsaw which are highly processed products are these guys right here. these are basicallyalgae powders and what they are basically just dried algae’s in a bottle. and so algaeare food if you go out to the lake and you could harvest your own algae, but i don’trecommend that. but you could eat them. i mean fish eat the algae, you know that’swhere they get all their nutrition from in

the ocean. but algae is definitely consideredanother green food, and in a matter of fact, algae has more protein in it than leafy greenvegetables which are already high in protein. so eat some algae for your protein but besidesjust getting the protein, you’re getting a plethora of other nutrition, and phytochemicalsand phytonutrients and also the minerals that are in the algae as well. probably my favoriteone is actually the chlorella, like the crack sell, chlorella. the brand that i actuallylike here is the health force brand. they definitely make some good products. one of the most popular supplements in ourraw food style diet are actually the green powders. so they actually have like the moringapowder, which i recommend you guys grow instead

of buying a moringa powder. they got thingslike wheat grass, barley grass juice. you know instead of buying wheat grass in a bottle,why don’t you just grow some wheat grass and chew on them. or better yet, juice it.but if you are gonna get some kind of green syrup in a bottle, i highly encourage youguys to get this. this is my favorite green super food vitamin by far. it’s the vitamineralgreen, by dr. james sheridan. this stuff is a 100% vegan, 100% raw for 20+ years. andthis is definitely a really good mixture of different green food basically. all the differentkinds of land green foods, water green foods, ocean green foods. in addition it has enzymesand probiotics, soil based organisms. so this is the one-stop shop for potentially fillingin any missing nutrient you may have. so i

like to take this as an inexpensive insurance.also, another thing i like to do with vitamineral green is to take it when i travel. maybe i’mnot able to eat my organic fruits and vegetables i normally eat, so i’ll take some vitamineralgreen, mix it in water on a plane, and drink it down. so good, and so nutritious. a question i got recently over one of my youtubechannel is “john what do you think about vinegars?” so you know they have some coconutvinegars here, whether it’s a coconut vinegar or apple cider vinegar, i don’t generallyinclude those in my diet. i mean, i might use some for taste and flavor, but i don’tgenerally consume them personally. another thing that’s really popular in raw foodis this one right here, bragg’s liquid aminos.

and i definitely do not recommend this stuff.it does contain naturally occurring msg, and if i did consume this, it gives me somethinglike a headache. so if you want amino acids, eat food. eat your leafy green vegetables.if you want a nice salty flavor, use something like these guys, the dohl’s flakes. thiswill give you a salty flavor instead of using the bragg’s liquid aminos. next, we’re gonna talk about salt. theyhave things like the himalayan rock salt, real salt here. it says nature’s first salt.and you know, people in general into raw foods may use a lot of salt to make the food tastegood. why are they doing that? well that’s because the food they are, you know, eatingdon’t taste good on their own, because the

food should contain trace minerals if it wasbeing supplemented into the soil in which they are grown. because unfortunately mostproduce and most fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, are not being grown in nutrientdense mineral rich soil. in any case, people love how salt taste that’s because we havesalt receptor, or sodium receptors. but we also have mineral receptors on our tongueand it lights up when we get salt. the prominent salt is that, you know it’s mostly sodium,while they are some mineral trace contamination in here, you are getting mostly sodium. youknow if you eat this whole bottle, you probably won’t be alive. it literally dehydratesus, so definitely, not a good idea. so if you wanna flavor up your foods and not usesalt, what would you do? they have a great

solution here at purehealth. they have theseguys at the bottom shelf. this is actually dehydrated food, and this is basically dehydratedsea vegetable. and sea vegetables are high in sodium but also the other trace minerals.and they got a full selection in here, actually the largest selection i’ve seen at definitelygood prices. this is raw and wild crafted sea lettuce flakes. they got raw and wildcrafted nori flakes. they got raw and wild crafted dohl’s flakes. they got raw andwild crafted condu flakes and they got raw and wild crafted wakambi flakes. so you probablythinking, “john which one of these are the best?” well, i don’t know. what i wouldrecommend is that you guys is buy all of them and taste them each one of these. and seewhich one drives with you. some taste fishy,

some taste not so fishy. i personally likethe dole’s flakes, and actually the nori and the sea lettuce. i don’t like the wakambior condu too much. but nonetheless, these are excellent addition instead of using thesalt in your diet which in my opinion is definitely not a health food. whether it’s himalayansalt, celtic sea salt or whatever your salt that you want. actually extra salt in yourdiet can cause a lot of challenges in my opinion. another question i get a lot is “ hey john,can i get enough sodium from the fruits and vegetables that i eat?” well, you know youcan do that, and i always recommend adequate amount of salt and i don’t know what fruitand vegetable you’ll specifically eat. if you eat things like a lot of celery, you maybe getting enough sodium. but i’ve also

had friends that were sodium deficient ona fruit and vegetable diet alone. so that’s definitely something to be aware of. one of the things you guys might be thinkingis “john, if i can’t eat salt and i’m not getting my trace minerals from salt, wheream i supposed to get them?” well, in my opinion you are supposed to get the traceminerals from the food that you are eating. but the problem is, in this day and age, mostgrowers, and even organic growers may be only supplementing their soil with 3 minerals:n,p, and k, and that’s because they found that those minerals actually make food growthe fastest. so what about all the other 80+ minerals on earth you know that should bein the soil but not these days because the

top soils are now eroded. well, the best solutionfor getting the trace minerals, in my opinion, is growing your own food, utilizing some ofthe trace minerals in rock powders and rock dust. so that you can have your own nutrientdense food because that’s not happening in organic and even in conventional food fromwhat i’ve seen. that being said if you don’t have that available, then the supplement isthe next best thing. remember, we always want to go nature first and supplements, if necessary,second. and so the supplement that i’d probably get for trace mineral is this guy right here,this is liquid light. it’s a natural folic acid mineral complex, and these one has over72 complex trace minerals and elements. that being said, it’d be much better to buy thisstuff and pour it in your garden and let your

plants absorb the minerals and eat the mineralthe way we’re supposed to eat them from the plants. besides from selling supplements here andsome of the products i’ve shown you guys, they also sell items that allow you to eatmore fresh fruits and fresh vegetables in your diet such as juicers. and also this guy,this is called the spirooli. this allows you to take a zucchini and basically make a pastalike shape out of it then you could eat your fresh zucchini instead of eating a cookedpasta. and actually they have very good price on these guys right here for the lowest inlas vegas. another thing they are offering are these guys are offering instructionaldvds from ronnie and minh. this is actually

a really excellent video to purchase, andit’s called going raw with ronnie and minh. minh make some amazing food and they showhow you can easily make some healthy raw food treats on a dvd. so especially if you arenew and you haven’t done before, definitely get this dvd and the spirooli slicer to createsome amazing recipes in your own kitchen. now if you don’t love all clean you canget down to buy the dvd here and you can visit ubraw.com or you can order these dvds online. well hopefully you’re on an organic rawfood diet, now to minimize toxins going in your body, but many people into raw food maynot realize, you know besides, what you’re putting in your body into your mouth, we’realso breathing toxins. in many cases sometimes

people slathering toxins into their body byjust standard lotions and shampoo and even soaps and toothpaste and deodorants. all kindsof stuff they’re putting in their body, your body is absorbing these things. so forthis reason, i’m glad they have a natural body care section with natural products thatyou can use but minimize toxins going in and on and being absorbed by your body. what i’mgonna cover next, because i’m not a girl and i can’t really cover shampoos and conditioners‘cause i don’t really use them myself, but what i will cover is a really great alternativeto lotion and also deodorant. instead of using any lotion, i like to usean oil, and my favorite oil, they have whole bunch of different ones here, almond oil,apricot oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, primrose

oil, shea butter, even like coconut oil onyour skin. but my favorite of all of these guys, and this is for on your body care notin your body, i like jojoba oil. jojoba oil is most naturally similar to our natural oilsthat we should have naturally in our skin. so i’ve been using jojoba oil a lot andi really think it makes a difference. instead of using any lotions, just get some jojobaoil. one of the things i also do is i actually make my own creams, so i actually combinethe jojoba oil 101 with some beeswax like they’re selling here and milk that up, andit makes a nice skin balm that i use. sometimes, i also add some herbs in it. and that’spretty much my regimen for skin care. use the oil, and then my cream, and pretty muchi’m all set.

conventional deodorants are probably the mosttoxic things you put in sensitive areas of your body all the time, like underneath yourarms where your lymph nodes are. so it’s very important to use a natural one if you’regonna use one. that being said, after being on a raw clean diet for 17 years like you’dsay i rarely have body odor, like maybe i eat garlic the night before and i’ll smellgarlic coming out of my pores, but otherwise, i don’t think i stink too much, neitherdoes my poop. but in any case, in case you do have body odor, and once again i believebody odors are caused by the bacteria and the toxins inside you that have to come outthrough your sweat glands. and if you do need to deal with that, a really excellent wayto do that would be one of these things. it’s

basically a crystal, and this is basicallya mineral you put on to basically negate the effects of the odor here. so i would definitelyrecommend this, although the goal is to just get off all of these products and live a simplelife, without having to buy extra stuff. besides the body care that you guys just saw,what’s really important is also you don’t put toxins in your mouth. you know, we putorganic foods in our mouth, but what about the toothpaste you are using? are you usinga raw food diet and still using colgate or crest or aqua fresh? you know i have visitedsome people’s raw homes and you know i’m surprised to find that they eat raw but arestill using toxic deodorant and toxic mouthwash and toxic toothpaste. so it’s very importantto come to a place like this just to get some

natural toothpaste. some of the ones i haveused in the past, i actually have used this vita-myr, i’ve also used periobrite anduse periowash a lot actually as a mouthwash, and natural mouth wash. and there are toothpastethat i’m looking at here is this earthpaste, actually it’s quite natural. for many peopleinto raw food, you know, having cavities and other things is actually a big problem. youknow for me what that relates to is actually having a proper oral hygiene. it’s everyimportant whether you’re raw or not is take care of your teeth. see a dentist yearly.brush and floss regularly because it’s the bacteria in our mouths that’s causing cavitiesand not the fruit sugars. so the bacteria feeds on the fruit sugars like we feed onthe fruit sugar and there are other foods

that we eat and the state of american dietyou know, people may not get as many cavities because of highly processed junk that actuallythe bacterias don’t even want to eat. i mean, you see a picture of mcdonald’s hamburgerslast like 2 years and doesn’t even decay. i mean bacteria doesn’t want that stuff,so they’re not eating it. but when you are eating the food that nature provides for us,bacteria loves that stuff and so do we. so make sure you brush and floss after everymeal is my suggestion. another really cool product that i like thatthey are offering here are these guys, soy wax & beeswax mix ear candles for only $2.so i don’t know if you guys have seen this before. but you do with these is actually,lie on your side, put it in your ear, you

have a plate there, and you light this upon fire. so your ears are on fire, although not really. so what this does is actuallycreates a vacuum to help suck out some of the earwax, because we know we’re not supposedto stick q tips in our ear to clean our ears out because that can puncture your eardrumyet people use qtips to clean their ears out. this is a natural way to do it and shouldbe definitely supervised when you are using this. i’ve done this many times and actuallymy brother has used this also. and every time it takes out a lot of wax and possibly othertoxins as well. but also, you know, i could always hear better without all the extra waxbuilt up inside my ears. so if you are hard of hearing, try this candle first is my personalopinion.

last thing i want to cover today is what theyactually got in the back room here and besides the presentation that i’ve talked to youseveral times and we’d probably be talking much in the future, they have actually whatis called a turbosonic machine, and how this was invented is because the astronauts thatwent up you know in the space shuttle, you know, they would lose bone density becausethey weren’t getting any gravity effect. so this was invented for them, but it’salso like a vibration therapy. it will move your lymph and it can actually move your differentorgans. i like this a lot, i was just actually on it a little while ago, and i think thiscan be very helpful for healing and for health. and as a okraw viewer, you guys are gonnahave 2 specials from pure health here. number

1 is you’re gonna be entitled to a firsttime session on the turbosonic for free and also you’re gonna get 10% off anything onthe store. so just tell them john kohler and okraw sent you on the video, and they’llhook you right up. so hopefully you guys enjoyed this episode, learning more about health foodshere in las vegas. if you are visiting las vegas later, you definitely need to come upand check it out. once again my name is john kohler with okraw.com. we’ll see you nexttime, and remember keep eating your fresh fruits and vegetables, they’re the best.
