HERE are my answers to your numerous questions on how to feel better, live better.
Q: What are the factors that raise my cholesterol level?
Smoking, caffeine, stress, pills, refined sugar, food additives, environmental pollutants and high-fat diets. Eat wisely.
For example, light-meat turkey has only 67 mg of cholesterol; dark-meat, 75 mg; and chopped turkey liver (used as gravy), 830 mg.
Q: Is wheat grass a fad?
Wheat grass is popular because it?s the easiest way to correct internal imbalance.
A part of the cereal grass family like barley, oats and rye, it has high alkaline. Loaded with protein (more than chicken), Vitamin A (higher than spinach), calcium (more than broccoli), among others, it contains 17 amino acids, 13 vitamins and 10 minerals. Its chlorophyll, which I have dubbed ?green blood,? immediately gives your own blood a natural ?chelation? effect by drawing out heavy metals (which can cause cancer).

Q: I am always catching colds. Help!
Here is a sure-fire remedy, which is part of my regimen. Take two glasses of lukewarm water before breakfast (after brushing your teeth). Remember to ?swish? in your mouth two teaspoons of fresh virgin coconut/olive/sesame oil. This will draw out all the bacteria from your mouth.
After 10 minutes, spit it out. Drink two tablespoons of virgin coconut oil. Take one cup of wheat grass juice.
Take two tablespoons of fresh Kefir (super probiotic yoghurt-type drink).
Take three tablespoons of ACAI berry concentrate.
Have a fresh plate of fruits and old-fashioned oatmeal without sugar.
Take five servings of salad/vegetables. Have fish/chicken once a day (preferably organic). Eat red/brown rice.
Exercise three times a week.
Supplements: One multivitamin/mineral supplement.- 1,000 mg Vitamin C (two times daily)- 500 mg of super mushrooms Multi 5- One ampalaya capsule daily- One moringa capsule daily Drink 10-12 glasses of water.
