~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dilator Magic Part 3: Exotics - Cacao, Camu, Schizandra, Guarana, Ma Huang & Friends ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dilators are substances and devices which open and expand. Dilator is pronounced die-later, which is what happens when we enjoy a constant flow of dilators in our eating styles. If we eat enough di-lators then we die later or in more upscale languaging, we live longer. Now onto our magical dilator journey part 3, complete with intriguing roadside attractions... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Administrivia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Articles : join@RadicalHealth.com Austin Events: austin@RadicalHealth.com Unsubscribe : leave@RadicalHealth.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Resource Guide ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Per your requests, here's a summary of resources referenced in this article.

Dilator Magic Part 2: Supercharge Your Beauty, Energy & Health The Easy Way http://www.radicalhealth.com/issues/2006-05-19:dilators.txt This week we'll wrap up with herb and food dilators, both exotic and common: - Dulse, Nori, Kelp - Cacao, Camu, Gojis, Schizandra, Tomatoes, Hot Peppers, - Ma Huang, Guarana, Yerba Mate, Sida Cordifolia, Kola ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How Dilators Work ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are several different ways dilators work: 1) Expanding fluid passages 2) Increasing nerve energy to fluid passage walls 3) Clearing debris from vascular (fluid passages) walls 4) Lowering fluid viscosity (thinning) 5) Increasing peristalsis The net outcome from all these actions is increased fluid flow and interchange. This increases nutrient delivery, nutrient uptake, nutrient assimilation and elimination. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Super Seaweed Energy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the first products we added to our Super Food catalog: http://RadicalHealth.com/order/ was Dulse. I fell in love with Dulse after investing nearly 3 years and $1000s attempting, with no success, to reboot my Thyroid which had pretty much turned off. I could walk out in the late afternoon sun on the hottest day in Texas and still be shivering cold. All my symptoms reversed in 3 days, when I started eating Dulse. This expanded my research into other Seaweeds and is why we carry our "Seaweed Energy" product. It's a very simple combination of equal parts Kelp and Dulse powder. Using emerald green and purple Seaweeds together is even more powerful as the holy trinity of energy: - Our adrenals, thyroid & parathyroid operate together as a single gland and: - Our adrenals feed on salt - Our thyroid feeds on salt with purple pigments - Our parathyroid feeds on salt with emerald green pigments Using high grade pure salts, like Himalayan Salt, along with Kelp, Nori & Dulse can usually reboot the most shutdown adrenals, thyroid or parathyroid. What's all this have to do with Dilators? Well this gland grouping is a primary contributor to energy management in our bodies. Part of this management is to upregulate signals to dilate/constrict fluid passages. If any of our adrenals, thyroid or parathyroid are either atrophied or shutdown, then the signals to dilate can be reduced or absent. Rule of thumb, enjoy some Vegan Sushi every day or two and have a handful of Dulse with your meals. If you're on the go, always have a handful of "Seaweed Energy" with you to sprinkle over your food. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cacao, The Most Broad Spectrum Dilator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cacao is the most fascinating dilator I've experienced to date. Cacao works in stages. First it's extremely high magnesium compounds open up the digestive track. In fact, one of the most enjoyable cleanses is living off Coco Chai and handfuls of Cacao for a day or two. Eating 100 grams of Cacao will usually upregulate elimination speed to it's max. I was well served to be near a bathroom the first few times I did this. After Cacao cleans out the digestive tract, next it starts on blood and lymph passages. Very little research has been done around this, so the specifics of how this works have yet to be determined. The vascular dilation features of Cacao are similar to it's function as a MAO inhibitor. No one has figured out how this works, it just does. After vascular passages are fully open, all the other intriguing 1200+ active substances in Cacao are now fully delivered all over our bodies. As receptor systems saturate, odd side effects occur. Downscale drugs which attach to these same receptors are displaced and after a few weeks of use become completely rejected. After a few weeks of Cacao use many people are unable to tolerate downscale drugs like cooked coffee, alcohol, sugar. Many people also report rejection of opiates, marijuana and prescription meds. Cacao has been one of the most powerful foods I've added to my eating style. The Cacao we import is specifically selected for it's most powerful attributes. I suggest you purchase and try every Cacao you can get your hands on and go with the one which gives you your highest experience of perfect taste and effect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Camu Camu, The Most Powerful Brain & Eye Dilator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Camu is cool. Camu's most pronounced effect seems to be on brain and eye tissue. I've seen some miraculous effects produced by adding Digestive Enzymes and Camu into a person's eating style. The best Camu is a bright red orange. Brownish Camu usually indicates it's been badly oxidized. Right now the best Camu I've found to date is from Amazon Herb: http://RadicalHealth.com/tools/join?channel=amazon;ref=$email Stay tuned though, as I'm working on providing a similar quality product for a much better investment (price). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Goji & Schizandra Berries, The Pinnacle of Oriental Medicine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These two berries are some of the most amazing Super Foods we have access to today. Each has properties so complex people have devoted their entire lives to researching them. Gojis are now available from us and a variety of other sources. Schizandra is just now entering our marketplace in production quantities. If you've tasted our Coco Chai Drink mix, you know the power of Schizandra. This berry is much like Vanilla, it amplifies other components to peak levels of expression. Gojis and Schizandra add many pigments, vitamins and minerals to the Dilator equation and in the future I'm guessing research will surface other highly unusual properties of both. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tomatoes & Hot Peppers, Your Super Niacin Sources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both these non-sweet fruits are amazing sources of Niacin. Many of the Hot Peppers available are near heirloom, as they are more challenging to cultivate than other produce. Tomatoes are great if you grow them yourself, preferably using Himalayan Salt Water as fertilizer. If you yearn for the days of Tomatoes from your Grandparents garden, look no more. We've added Dr. Bob Marshall's spectacular Tomato Concentrate to our line. If you love tomatoes, this Tomato powder is the real thing. I've been adding it to everything lately, especially guacamole. Avocado, Cacao and Tomato Concentrate makes an amazing base for all sorts of savory (non-sweet) Cacao/Super Food salads and pates. While concentrated Niacin is great for cleansing, Tomatoes and Peppers are great daily additions to balanced eating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Herbal Jewels of Ma Huang, Guarana, Yerba Mate, Sida Cordifolia, Kola ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is as much misunderstanding around these super herbs as Cacao. Many people are confused about Cacao, as even most so called Raw Cacaos are unfit for human consumption due to high caffeine from leaving in shell debris and incorrect processing/handling. Same with these Power Herbs. Just like Cacao, most of these herbs are usually only available in a denatured, adulterated form. They are usually superheated for weeks, boiling them down into substances which have amphetamine-like effects. Denatured Power Herbs can be deadly. And Raw (low temperature ground) Power Herbs are intensely interesting. I use these in very small quantities. Usually 1T of Guarana/blender of Coco Chai. Ma Huang even less, at 1t/blender. The others even less 1/8 - 1/4 t/blender. I adjust the levels to their lowest point, where I get an unwinding or expanding effect over 4-8+ hours, rather than an instant rush effect. In fact, the way I test quality of these "so called" stimulants is taking them right before bed. All Power Herbs, in their highest state, are adaptogenic. They amplify body inertia in the direction it's already going. In other words, as daylight increases they should stimulate and as daylight decreases they should mediate or relax. I select our Power Herb sources based on how well I sleep when I take them before bed. We have cold processed Guarana and Yerba available and are working on sources for the others. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wrapping Up For Now ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well it took me a while to complete this series. I'll be making an announcement about the reason why shortly. Stay tuned!
