Repost from @alkaline_vegan_news I cannot stress enough how important this is! We’ve gotta remember that we have been fasting all night, so we don’t wanna hit our digestive systems with something hard to digest, high in fat and no water content. Just like how you can do an extended water fast, juice fast, dry fast...you would NEVER wanna break it with something hard to digest like animal foods. You want to break your fast with fruit.
Always focus on hydration first thing...so warm lemon water, herbal teas, green drinks, fresh pressed juices and FRUIT! I started my day today with burdock root x dandelion tea, then a green drink (celery, spinach, apple, cilantro, parsley, ginger with some pineapple water...I use a vitamix then strain) and then I had 3 oranges then later a cherry x banana x mango smoothie, then some apples! 😋🌿🍎🍊🍌

🌺🌼COME JOIN US! Abby of @primephysiquenutrition & I will be coaching #eczemawarriors through their healing recovery journey in the next round of 8 week coaching on November 20th! I KNOW how awful #eczema can be, I was diagnosed at 10 months old & used #topicalsteroids for 26 years (I actually developed Hodgkins Lymphoma at 23 from what I truly believe was attributed by #topicalsteroidaddiction ) ! I’m thankfully free of them for 6 years now 🙏🏽 & went through the brutal #topicalsteroidwithdrawal . I WISH I had a support system like the Conqueror Eczema Academy when I was going through the worst stages of #tsw where I battled high anxiety, depression, constant pain & crazy symptoms as my body detoxed. It would’ve been so helpful to have a community all over the world to share with, learn with & vent when I was super frustrated. We offer great info on how to truly heal from the inside out, tons of encouragement & support & there are many modules with experts in the field! Simply SIGN UP BY: going to www.eczemaholistichealing.com , click on the “SHOP” tab & you’ll see the Conqueror Eczema Academy link to sign up (or click my link in my bio) 😊 Check out this testimonial from Cassie aka @thenatnurse : “I just wanted to say that since this was my first call, I wasn’t really sure how it would go or what these calls are typically like but it has put me in such an amazing mood and hearing all of you speak about all of your experiences! It has made me so incredibly grateful to have found this group and I’m really in awe that all across the world we can all be going through such similar and intimate experiences and we can share and learn from one another. I was already feeling this way halfway through the call, and then I texted my sister (who also had eczema) and I told her “I’m on my first call, it’s so awesome!” and she texted back “I’m so jealous, where was that when I was going through it!?”🌺🌼I hope to see you in our next round!💜 #eczemaholistichealing #eczemarecovery #eczemarelief #eczemasucks #eczemasupport #eczemawarrior #eczemaproblems #dermatitis #foodismedicine #skinblogger #skinhealth #eczemafree #eczemaremedies #eczematips #eczemafighter #eczemahealing
I can’t believe 10 years have passed since my Hodgkin’s Lymphoma stage 3b diagnosis! I thank God everyday that He brought me through, & stronger than ever, with a deep passion for natural healing🙏🏽. I mark today as my 10th year cancer free, as this was the day that I completed my very last chemo treatment. I did 6 months of chemo, 2x a month. I try to not live with regrets, & I must admit, it’s something that I still struggle with even ten years later...the regret of not looking towards alternative routes of healing instead of using chemo (which my oncologist told me has a half life of 10-12 years in the body!). I WISH I had all of knowledge that I have now about healing from the inside out & I WISH I was in the right head space to do so. I just know in my gut that 23 years of topical steroid use for eczema at the time contributed to the cancer. Plus just not taking care of my health in general, eating terribly etc. Clearly in retrospect I would’ve done things much different, BUT I’ve learned that everything happens the way it should, in its own divine time, in its own way. Some background to my diagnosis...I was 23 years old, I had graduated college the year before, the stress of school really took its toll on my body & my skin & overall health was going downhill fast. It’s like I could feel it the moment I graduated...like I was just holding out the last couple of months, struggling to make it through. I didn’t know anything about stopping the steroids and looking towards natural routes of healing, I had no intention of living a healthy lifestyle...I became reclusive because of the way my skin looked as it was getting worse and it was hard for me to even look in the mirror, hence why I had no idea of the lump growing in my clavicle. It was only until I went for a regular check up with a new primary care doc did she point out the lump. Many needle biopsies at the ENT doc later which were inconclusive, then to surgery of the removal of the golf ball sized mass which then led to the diagnosis of cancer. 🌺Read more in the comments...
Rainy days call for some colourful soup and salad! 🥗🥣 Here I have a spring mix salad with beets, tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper and zucchini no dressing as the sweetness from the tomatoes, pepper and beets were just fine for me! I usually put 1-1/2 chopped avocado on top but the 12 avocados 🥑 I bought today were all green! Why 12??? Because at 3 for $1 you gotta stock up! 😂 The soup was super simple to make with chopped potatoes, carrots, onion, spinach, kale, garlic and ginger and at the end I added chopped red pepper (to keep it crunchy) and minced parsley & cilantro. 🌱🌿 There are some red lentils in there too which cook super quick, and the spice blend is curry powder, cumin, cinnamon, coriander & fennel. I added veg broth and a little bit of some coconut cream bar. 😋 #eczemaholistichealing #vegan #vegansofig #poweredbyplants #plantstrong #crueltyfree #curry #foodismedicine #vegansoup #vegandinner #eczemarecovery #eczemarelief #topicalsteroidwithdrawal #dairyfree #foodismedicine #redlentils #plantpowered #veganlife #eczemahealing
Getting my electrolytes in at #jaxvegfest (vegan outdoor festival) yesterday! Hydration is KEY to healing and coconuts are wonderful for that! Coconuts are rich in potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium. 💚 DID YOU KNOW.....
🥥Helps replenish Electrolytes - Because coconut water is high in potassium, and such a great electrolyte replacement, it has even been used for IV hydration in certain emergency situations. 🥥Lowers high blood pressure - The potassium in coconut water counteracts the effect of sodium in the body, helping lower blood pressure. 🥥Reduces cholesterol - Researchers believe that the benefit of potassium, calcium and magnesium content in coconut water, all electrolytes that play a role in helping maintain heart health can help reduce cholesterol levels.
🥥Cleanses & detoxifies - Coconut water contains a similar electrolyte profile to human blood, making it an ideal beverage to replace fluids and help remove toxins from the body. Remember, hydration & elimination are KEY in detoxification!
🥥Reduces stress & muscle tension - Some of the electrolytes found in coconut water, specifically calcium and magnesium, may help with stress and muscle tension. Adequate calcium intakes may help keep our all our muscles relaxed. Magnesium has been nicknamed the “relaxation” mineral. Its primary function is in the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that helps us relax. It also helps with the formation of serotonin, the “feel good hormone.” 💚🥥💚🥥 Get your hydration in with fresh coconuts! If you can’t find them fresh, always look for brands that are refrigerated without any preservatives in them...it should only say “coconut water” on the ingredients list.🌴 #eczemaholistichealing #coconutwater #veganfestival #vegfest #vegfest2018 #jacksonvillevegfest #vegan #foodismedicine #vegansofig #eczemarelief #eczemarecovery #topicalsteroidwithdrawal #redskinsyndrome #eczemahealing #coconutwaterbenefits #poweredbyplants #plantstrong #italisvital #eczema

💥Happy #worldveganday ! 🌿🐷🐥🐮🐠🌿 One of the most profound choices I’ve made in my life was to adopt a vegan lifestyle over 3 years ago. I initially did it for my health, and of course, have seen amazing benefits from it, and I continue to learn how healing food can be. 🍉🍇🥑🍊🍋🍎🍌As I learned more and more about animal suffering and the cruelty involved, it made an even deeper connection within myself. When you truly break it down, it’s just simply choosing life over death...making intentional, conscious decisions everyday that not only have an impact on yourself but the whole world! 🌍 I love the direction this movement is going in, more people and businesses are catching on and the testimonials of people preventing and reversing disease alone are a great reason to make the switch! I know it may not happen overnight for some, but just making choices overtime will get you there and then it will become a lifestyle 💚 There’s TONS of resources to learn from and easy ways to make the transition. Always feel free to reach out if you’re in need of any vegan tips! 😊 #eczemaholistichealing #vegan #vegansofig #veganlife #gofruityourself #hclfvegan #poweredbyplants #plantpowered #italisvital #eczemahealing #eczemarecovery #eczemasupport #eczemarelief #crueltyfree #worldveganday2018
Repost from @tswjess , thanks for sharing this craziness! This was the question on Jeopardy tonight and the answer was dandruff. It just shows how the answer for any skin condition is instantly topical steroids! 😩 By the way, a natural topical remedy for dandruff is a mix of melaleuca x lavender essential oil x coconut oil on the scalp. Using things like African black soap, bentonite clay and activated charcoal on the scalp are also great natural, topical treatments and OF course healing from the inside out. 🚫Cutting out mucus causing, highly inflammatory, acidic foods (aka animal products & processed food) is so important! Suppressing the issue with chemical laden, poisonous creams is not the answer! These are the essential oils I use if anyone is interested: www.mydoterra.com/debraahall1 #eczemaholistichealing #topicalsteroidwithdrawal #topicalsteroidaddiction #eczema #dandruff #skinconditions #eczemarelief #eczemarecovery #dermatitis #eczemaproblems #eczemasucks #skinblogger #eczemaremedies #dryskin #dryscalp
