Balance pH

From the Product Information page on the Young Living site: www.youngliving.us


AlkaLime® is a precisely-balanced alkaline mineral and essential oil powder formulated to safely balance the acidity of the digestive system.* This is important because a balanced pH allows the body to maintain vigor and health. This formula helps counteract overconsumption of processed sugars and foods that may turn to sugar in the body, such as pasta, bread, and processed corn products.

Sodium: 573 mg per serving
Calcium: 692 mg per serving
Magnesium: 142 mg per serving
Potassium: 190 mg per serving

38.5 servings per container

Stir 1 teaspoon in 8 ounces of distilled water and drink immediately. Mix only with water. Take one to three times daily, one hour before meals or retiring to bed as an aid in alkalizing.*


Alkalime is a great product to quickly bring the body back into a more alkalinized state. I have used Alkalime when my pH is too low and within a two to three days my pH is back to normal range.

I use pH testing strips first thing in the morning and make note of my progress.

Once I have reached my goal pH level, I add just a pinch to each glass of water I drink throughout the day.

Do you know what the average pH level of the human body is? The average range is between 6.4 and 7.5. Numbers lower than 6.4 indicate acidic body chemistry, higher numbers indicate alkaline.

There are two basic tenets: 1) All disease and toxins are acidic; 2) Bacteria, viruses, and parasites die when exposed to high alkaline environments.

I've read from many sources that candida, fungus, bacteria and viruses all need an acidic environment to thrive. If you want to improve the terrain of you body and build better health, add Alkalime to your daily regime.

Cleansing

Young Living has many cleansing products - from colon to liver to kidney, heavy metals and digestive enzymes.

When cleansing we always start with the colon. Young Living products for this task are:
ICP™ helps keep your colon clean with an advanced mix of fibers that scour out residues.* A healthy digestive system is important for the proper functioning of all other systems because it absorbs nutrients that are used throughout the body. ICP provides ingredients such as psyllium, oat bran, and flax and fennel seeds to form a combination of soluble and insoluble fibers. Enhanced with a special blend of essential oils, the fibers work to decrease the buildup of wastes, improve nutrient absorption, and help maintain a healthy heart.* ICP provides three grams of soluble fiber and one gram of insoluble fiber per serving.
ComforTone® (capsules) is an effective combination of herbs and essential oils that support the health of the digestive system by eliminating residues from the colon and enhancing its natural ability to function optimally.* Because it supports normal peristalsis (the wave-like contractions that move food through the intestines), ComforTone is ideal for strengthening the system that delivers nutrients to the rest of the body.* It also contains ingredients that are beneficial to liver, gall bladder, and stomach health.*
Essentialzyme™ is an advanced multi-enzyme complex that promotes digestion and assists in the assimilation of nutrients.* Essentialzyme contains enzymes that support healthy pancreatic function.* Pancreatin 4X: 300 mg per serving

* This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.


These three products are the backbone or start of any Cleansing Program.

Why Cleanse? With toxins in our air, water and all the additives to our food, our body has a busy job filtering the bad stuff out. The cleansing products assist the body by removing chemicals, parasites and undigested or partially digested foods. This allows the body to function at a healthier, higher level of functioning.

The Deep Relief blend contains Peppermint which is effective with either headaches or stomach aches. Apply on location, across the forehead, along the jaw line, behind the neck or on the stomach, this oil blend and application method already has helped me tremendously. It is now a fixture in my purse.

Smelly Goodness

I have been using Young Living Essential Oils since the mid-90's. I love these oils. Pure essential oils contain chemical compounds that have an affect on diseases such as cancer, viruses, mold, bacteria and a host of applications. Here are some of the more common oils & applications:

Lavendar - I use this oil to heal sunburns or any type of burn.
Peppermint - Great for headaches and tummy aches, very cooling. It's lovely in a water bottle for drinking and for spritzing on hot summer days.
Peace & Calming - This is a delightful blend of citrus oils that has been my favorite for years.
RutaVaLa - a new oil blend including a new oil from Ecuador. This oil helps me sleep soundly through the night.
Aroma Siez - massage into sore muscles and the next day the aches and pains are greatly improved.

People who are not used to Essential Oils judge the oils by their smell. I pick an essential oil based on the chemical compounds and their uses. There are several oils that could be used for the same purpose, so if the first oil doesn't work, I move on. For example, there are several oils that could be used for skin rash or fungus. I would start with Lavendar - always great on skin - then move to spikenard, maybe the two together.

Four Freedom Gratitude Quilts


One of my hobbies is Quilting. I'm new at this and have enjoyed mostly every minute of it. I have sewn about 20 quilts for a volunteer organization called Operation: Quiet Comfort. I found them based on a recommendation of a friend and became involved with their activities. I knew I wanted to do something to support our men and women serving overseas and it has taken form in sewing. They have given so much to us and this is a small token in return. I am very appreciative of the freedoms our military men and women have defended since the beginning of our country.

The Four Freedom Gratitude Quilt is based on a design by Lori Pate, founder of Operation: Quiet Comfort. It's very simple in its design and it's all about the messages. 100% cotton blue jeans are collected and laundered. These jeans are cut into 6" squares and each square is signed by a concerned & loving citizen expressing Thanks and Appreciation for the sacrifices the military member recipient. Each of these squares are sewn into a quilt and shipped overseas to a Combat Support Hospital and given to a wounded soldier, sailor, marine or airman.

These denim quilts were inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt's address to the 77th Congress on January 6, 1941 -The Four Freedoms.
Freedom of Speech and Expression
Freedom of Worship
Freedom from Want
Freedom from Fear

My thoughts and prayers are with those who are currently serving overseas and those who have returned home, also with their friends and families who help make this nation great.
