Red Cabbage

Did you know that cabbage leaves have natural antiseptic properties and can be applied directly to wound and bruises to help relieve pain and healing? 

• Red cabbage is higher in immunity boosting carotenes than other cabbages. 
• Red cabbage is also higher in vitamin C than pale varieties and is a good source of minerals including calcium and selenium.

Sprinkle red cabbage with lemon juice to prevent it from turning gray. Once cut, red cabbage should be used within one to two days. When cooking, steaming preserves the maximum nutrients, so try not to overcook.

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite Clay is an effective detoxifier with substances that absorb toxins from our GI tract. Bentonite clay can never be absorbed by the body, so it's not poisonous at all. When we take Bentonite Clay with Psyllium Husk, the clay does the important duty of absorbing all toxic substances from our mucuous linings - it's like a magnet that attracts toxins. Psyllium Husk then finishes the job by "pushing" all these nasty substances such as mucoid plaque out of our body. 

Bentonite Clay has a high concentration of minerals including silica, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and potassium.

Do your due diligence when considering a brand.
