Food Additives to Avoid - E-numbers you should stay away from
Article about Food Additives
25th of July every year, according to Mayan astrology is The Day Out of Time. That is the day to look back to bad things that happened in the past year, write it down on a piece of paper and burn it. And the next day is the beginning of a New Year. Acctually I just got back from a celebration (this was the first one in my life for this purpose) and one other strange thing happened: after the burning process we had to draw a butterfly and then to write down (to its back side) all the good things that we want for ourselves in the next year. Butterfly symbolizes a transformation and I couldn't get better confirmation for my blog's purpose :)
Mayan calender consists of a 13 months (Lunas), each having exactly 28 days (which is the number of days Moon needs to travel arround the Earth (and also the number of days of female menstruation cycle)) so it symbolizes a human connection with the Nature.
So how we ended up with 12 months? It happened during the Roman times. Here are some details (you will notice that certain names of the months do not correspond with their ordinal):
January
Named after the Roman god of beginnings and endings Janus (the month Januarius)
February
The name comes either from the old-Italian god Februus or else from februa, signifying the festivals of purification celebrated in Rome during this month.
March
This is the first month of the Roman year. It is named after the Roman god of war - Mars
April
Called Aprilis, from aperire, 'to open'. Possible because it is the month in which the buds begin to open
May
The third month of the Roman calendar. The name probably comes from Maiesta, the Roman goddess of honor and reverence
June
The fourth month was named in honor of Juno. However, the name might also come from iuniores (young men; juniors) as opposed to maiores (grown men; majors) for May, the two months being dedicated to young and old men
July
It was the month in which Julius Caesar was born, and named Julius in his honor in 44 BCE, the year of his assassination. Also called Quintilis (fifth month)
August
Originally this month was called Sextilis (from sextus, 'six'), but the name was later changed in honor of the first of the Roman emperors, Augustus (because several fortunate events of his life occurred during this month)
September
The name comes from septem, 'seven'
October
The name comes from octo, 'eight'
November
The name comes from novem, 'nine'
December
The name comes from decem, 'ten'

I almost forgot: Happy New Year!!! :)
I'm thin. I have been thin almost always. BUT..six years ago I become thinier than ever before. And it was completely unintetionally.
Everything started when I met girl from Perth who was studying naturopathy there. She made a very close look to my eyes and said: 'you are eating to much cheese, and that is not helping your immune system at all'. And that was so TRUE.
Before that I was just an ordinary vegeterian who just didn't eat meat and eating a lot of cheese instead..broadening my knowledge about food, a logical step was to avoid all the food with E-numbers (food with additives). Well it is very hard to avoid all the food with additives, because there are in almost everything, so I stopped to eat things like chips, sparkling drinks, chewing gums, food in cans..I still eat chocolate, but not much (well that is my drug) ;) The result was stunning: I regain a LOTS of energy, I felt easyier and I LOST WEIGHT.
The last thing I didn't want to happen, but (as I heard) it happens to everyone who decide to do the same thing (this pure food consuming is acctually part of macrobiotics). And what acctually happens during that cleansing period (approx. 3 weeks) is: body is getting rid of poisons accumulated in organism so there is a possibility of 'stinking sweat' (depending of how much toxins there are accumulated), but you can do some walking and get rid of the toxins by breathing (researches show that is a better way to getting rid of the toxins than perspiration).
Losing weight is also possible through colon cleansing that is practiced in ayurveda medicine, but that is subject for another topic :)
This is a funny story acctually..but firstly some facts..I'm a macrobiotics fan who cannot resist to eat chocolate (who knows what they put in it) ;) but I've noticed that fruit makes me produce gas if I eat it after a meal. When a person produces gases organism usually tries to point out that there is something undesired in organism, like a little explosion that has to go out somewhere.
Maybe you have already heard that fruit should be eaten at least one hour before a meal (in one hour stomach usually manages to pass it further) or even better on a empty stomach so all the vitamins can be properly utilized.
So I've made a little test on my father. I asked him did he notice to produce gases after eating an apple after lunch. He said 'no'. And than he went downstairs (while I was at the first floor and could hear everything that was happening in front of the house). And then he made a sound :)
...
I've mentioned macrobiotics because they think that there is a way of preparing food not to produce gases. There is a certain cake I've tried in their restaurant (apple and bisquit) and it really works!
Well, out there might be someone in need for information, so ...I was at the funerral the other day..the guy was arround 30 and I think the reason that he died was that his organism was destructed with trying out various (just published) medicine for multiple sclerosis. I can understand that when people are desperate they want to try anything, but I strongly recommend to try something natural first.
Seven years ago I discovered that I have a sinus problem..homeopathist I went to is also a MD and a reiki teacher, but also a great psychotherapist. No matter what homeopathy definition states, but homeopathy is really getting to the problem cause and dealing with it. Pills are made from natural materials so the is no way that they can harm your organism. You can also find them in drugstores, but those are rather generic. A good homeopathist will give you pills made especially for yourself. I'm specially proud because I recommended my homeopathist to my friend and she cured her mother's cancer. She also helped a few animals with really serious diseases :) Diagnosis must be made anyway, but after that try with something natural first :) and be optimistic!
In my case I always knew the answer. No matter was it temporary solution or some that pointed that I'm on the right way (life path), I always knew what should I do.
And as the time goes by, I know that all the things that I did before was a preparation for my big future :)
Sometimes it happens that you cannot make a decision between two things..well, than the following technique shoul'd be applied: you shoul'd think firstly on the first possible solution and try to sense how do you feel arround your heart and stomach..then apply same technique on other solution.
You will SURELY feel some dis-ease while thinking on wrong solution.
And that is IT, that is your soul telling you what to do!
This can be implemented on various life areas from those refering to choosing right job to those refering to should you travell or not, or even on deciding weather or not you should take your child to doctor or try some home natural medicine healing first.
Good luck!
