3-day LIVE Training Event in Niagara Falls, Canada
June 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Yes, of course we will have another gathering of Home Healers in 2012. It will take place in Niagara Falls on a Canadian side on June 1-3, 2012.
We have secured a beautiful hotel that guarantees you a room with the view on the Falls and a complimentary breakfast; we’ve got a wonderful conference room on the 9th floor with a falls-view terrace; we’ve ordered good weather – and we cannot wait to see you there!
We know many of you who attended the HBU LIVE 6/11 are coming back, and that makes us even more excited (we are even planning a special luncheon for our returning graduates and Practical Professors).
And that is not only because we will see the old friends, but also because it means that the very special healing energy that we jointly generated at the HBU LIVE 6/11 is still there – and it will grow even stronger when we are all together again, and new friends and healers are joining us.
(If you do not know what I am talking about and what our live conferences look like, GO HERE to see our report from the HBU LIVE 6/11: http://www.21centurydoc.com/events/live-events/healthboss-university-live-6-11/austin-live-event-report ).
We do not have an agenda yet – let it to be a mystery for now ? But you already know that we will do everything we can to make this event unforgettable and well worth your while to attend.
We are also taking your feedback from the HealthBoss LIVE 6/11 very seriously and will pack as much of hands-on protocols into the agenda as humanly possible.
You see, our Practical Professors last year were so eager to share with you all they know that there was not much time left for your practice. We will try to correct that this time around.
But no matter how we decide to structure the event we will focus our efforts on preserving and enhancing the “group healing effect” that we had so strongly at the HBU LIVE 6/11 and that still works for many of our attendees even now. As Clarence Robins, our wonderful 80+ years young friend from New York says, “I am still going strong!”
BTW, Clarence got rid of arthritis in his knee and may be DRIVING to our Niagara conference in June. Do you want to be like that when YOU are 80+? Join us at the HBU LIVE 6/12!

Wild Mushroom Soup and Crunchy Nut crackers Recipe

Wild Mushroom Soup

Per serving: calories, 192;

Total fat, 5 g;

• 3 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
• 1 1/2-ounce package dried porcini mushrooms

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
• 12 ounces assorted wild mushrooms (such as crimini and stemmed shiitake), sliced
• 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
• 4 teaspoons all purpose flour
• 2 cups low-fat (1%) milk

Bring broth to boil in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add porcini mushrooms to saucepan; let soak until mushrooms soften, about 20 minutes.

Drain, reserving broth but discarding any sediment in broth. Coarsely chop porcini mushrooms.

Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add wild mushrooms and button mushrooms and sauté until brown and tender, about 8 minutes. Add minced garlic, thyme, and porcini and sauté 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over; stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in reserved porcini soaking liquid and low-fat milk. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until soup thickens slightly, about 12 minutes. Transfer 1 1/2 cups soup to blender and puree until smooth. Return to pot. Bring soup to simmer.

Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Crunchy Nut crackers

Ingredients:

Soak raw nuts and seeds in water for at least 2 hours, let air dry for 30 minutes on paper towels

¨   2 cups raw mixed nuts of your choice: (cashew, almonds, pumpkin seeds, black sesame seed and flax seeds work well)

¨   1 egg and 1 egg white

¨   2 tbsp filtered water

¨   1 1/8 tsp Himalayan salt

Soak raw nuts and seeds in water for at least 2 hours, let air dry for 30 minutes on paper towels

Options: For extra flavor you can add Tabasco sauce, garlic, parmesan cheese (use your imagination)

Top with sea salt, anise seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds or any other seeds of your choice.

To make:

Preheat the oven at 360°F (180°C).

Line two baking sheets with parchment papers.

Grind nuts into a flour consistency in a blender or food processor (food processor usually works best).

Add egg, water and Himalayan salt and stir around with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together in quite stiff dough.

Divide the dough into two and place them directly on the parchment papers.

Roll them out to two rectangles as thin as possible. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin you could roll it with parchment paper covering the dough. Use a glass to cut them into round crackers or a knife to cut them in squares.

Spray some water or egg white on them and top with the seeds, salt, cheese etc

Bake for about 10 minutes or less.

Tip: Stay close and keep an eye on the oven, this crackers burn easily, especially when they are very thin. The thinner the better I think

Store them in jars or out in the open if you eat them within the first couple of days.

Super Food - Mushrooms

Super Mushrooms

There are many kinds of super mushrooms. The most common ones are Agaricus blazei, Maitake, Shitake, Reishi. Portobello, Cordyceps, Oyster, Morel, and Porcini.

Description: Mushrooms have been used for thousands of years by traditional eastern gealers but only recently by western Healers in advanced Medicine. Mushrooms are often incorrectly classified as vegetables or herbs, but they are actually fungi.

Many think mushrooms are low in nutritional value, but science is finding them to be full of “Medicinal Magic.”   Mushrooms are very rich in high quality proteins, beta glucans, nucleic acids, vitamins, and minerals, as well as specific type of polysaccharides  and other properties.

History and general information: Scientific studies of mushrooms only started approximately twenty years ago. Researchers have found that some mushrooms are rich in minerals (potassium, calcium, and magnesium), various vitamins (D2, B2, Niacin, and C), fibre, and amino acids. Another important ingredient especially found in the family of Polyporaceae (so-called “Monkey’s Bench”) is a polysaccharide compound which exhibits strong immune support activity.

Benefits reported:

• Mushrooms provide the body with the nutrients, proteins, minerals, and vitamins needed to generate energy and repair cells.
• Mushrooms boost the immune system.
• Increases hearing.
• Increases circulation.
• Improves eyesight.
• May cure impotence.
• May stop migraine headaches.
• Prevents tumours.
• Protects against influenza.
• Protects against cancer.
• Reduces the risk of stroke.
• Cures and prevents yeast and fungal infections.

 In addition, mushrooms are:

• Low in carbohydrates, calories, and sodium
• Cholesterol and fat free
• High in fibre and protein
• Rich in B Vitamins, which help maintain a healthy metabolism
• An excellent source of potassium, a mineral that helps lower elevated blood pressure
• A rich source of riboflavin, niacin, and selenium, an antioxidant that works with Vitamin E to protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.

• Research has shown that men who consumed twice the recommended daily intake of selenium cut their risk of prostate cancer by 65 percent.

• Regular ingestion of Mushrooms not only fights and reduces cancerous cells and tumours, they help prevent cancer cells from forming.

Health Benefits of Specific Mushroom Groups:

• Oyster Mushrooms are used to strengthen veins and relax tendons. “Tendon-easing powder” is an effective treatment for numb limbs as well as tendon and blood vessel discomfort. Dried Oyster Mushrooms are high in iron, which makes them a good blood builder.

• Portobello Mushrooms contain protein and a wide variety of B-complex vitamins such as riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and niacin. They are a good source of thiamine, Vitamin B6, folate, selenium, lysine, zinc, copper, manganese, and iron. One medium Portobello mushroom has even more potassium than one banana or a glass of orange juice.

• Morel Mushrooms contain protein, Vitamins D and B, riboflavin, niacin, and thiamine, which helps the body maintain a healthy metabolism. They also contain copper, selenium, and potassium. They are low in carbohydrates, very low in calories, fat free, and contain very little sodium.

• Maitake Mushrooms may best be known for their cancer-fighting properties. The evidence confirming Maitake’s therapeutic value is impressive. Laboratory studies have shown that, in mice with cancer, Maitake extract can block the growth of cancer tumours and boost the immune function.
• Maitake mushroom was found effective against leukemia and stomach and bone cancers.
• In addition, many doctors in Japan use Maitake mushrooms to lower blood pressure and blood lipids.
• This mushroom has also been reported to aid digestion by regulating the stomach and intestines, helping to eliminate food stagnation.

• Porcini Mushrooms contain copper, selenium, potassium, and protein. Just like Morels, Porcini mushrooms have cancer-fighting properties.

• Shiitake Mushrooms also appears to be effective against some of the more serious viruses we face today, including HIV and Hepatitis B. It appears to be a formidable cancer fighter. Research has shown that Shiitake lowers cholesterol levels.

• Reishi Mushrooms are particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma and other respiratory complaints. Reishi are good for respiratory strength and for easing the discomfort of coughing (at least one population study confirms this claim).

• Reishi Mushrooms: When more than 2,000 Chinese people with chronic bronchitis took Reishi Syrup during the 1970s, according to the article “Medicinal Mushrooms” by Christopher Hobbs (as published in Herbs for Health, Jan/Feb 97), within two weeks, 60 to 90 percent felt better and reported an improved appetite.

How to use:

Adding any one of these Super Mushrooms to your soups, stews, rice, pot roast, salads, and casseroles will increase your health and well-being.

Some Super Mushrooms can be purchased in capsule form. This is also an excellent way to get the amazing nutritional benefits of these Super Mushrooms.
