Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Brown rice protein doesn't have the stagnating negative effects of whey protein, because whey protein is a dairy product. Brown rice protein also doesn't have the controversy currently surrounding soy protein, even though I personally think soy protein is an outstanding protein source, and I eat it every single day. For people who want to stay away from soy protein because of some things they're reading in the press, rice protein is a highly recommended source.
Note that with the addition of the rice protein, you're now covering three macronutrient groups in this food bar. | | The next ingredient is organic brown rice protein. Wow! I couldn't have chosen a better ingredient if I were formulating a line of food bars myself. This is my number one recommended source of dietary protein. Brown rice protein doesn't have the stagnating negative effects of whey protein, because whey protein is a dairy product. Brown rice protein also doesn't have the controversy currently surrounding soy protein, even though I personally think soy protein is an outstanding protein source, and I eat it every single day. | | For people who want to stay away from soy protein because of some things they're reading in the press, rice protein is a highly recommended source.
Note that with the addition of the rice protein, you're now covering three macronutrient groups in this food bar. With the almonds you have the fats and the healthy oils. With the dates and the agave nectar, you have the complex carbohydrates. And with the brown rice protein, you have a good serving of protein. In fact, the bar contains a whopping 14 grams of protein. | Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith See book keywords and concepts | Choose from a whole-food multinutrient from pea and rice protein if you are vegetarian.
Again, you'll find both liquid greens and whole-food multinutrient supplements at health food stores, or see the Resource Directory for specific suppliers.
THE DETOX DIET
The concept of nourishing your body is clearly tied directly to diet—what you eat. The foods you choose to put into your body are what ultimately nourish (or in some cases deplete) your cells. I just shared with you how high-quality proteins, for example, give you the amino acids you need to build and maintain bodily structures. | | Choose a whole-food multinutrient from pea and rice protein if you are vegetarian, as described in Chapter 6. (See Chapter 11 for protein recipes.) You can also have a cup of herbal tea before bedtime—chamomile or lavender is nice and relaxing. For your bedtime fiber supplement, choose one that is organic and contains good sources of fiber such as flax, acacia, and gluten-free oat bran. Although some people choose psyllium as their fiber supplement, for many this type of fiber can be dehydrating to the colon, contributing to a more constipated state. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | The ingredients are organic freeze-dried berries and chia, along with rice protein, pea protein, enzymes, and probiotics. It's also got multivitamins, herbs, antioxidants, and minerals. That is an all-in-one. You can live on that.
The primary difference between the Super Greens and the Super Berry is that one has vegetable greens and the other has berries. So they are slightly different. The Super Berry is sweetened with tagatose, as well as xylitol, fructooligosaccharides, and a little stevia. In the Super Greens, we have mannitol, xylitol, fructooligosaccharides, and a little stevia. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | We don't do anything too basic, like just rice protein. Everyone else has done that already, and again, we want people functioning at their peak.
At this point, I would like to design for everyone in the world, but I have to do the best I know and lead the way. I think one of my tasks is to be the leader to change the industry, to change the mindsets. Because you can talk to any one of my manufacturers and they will say, "There is nobody out there doing what he does and he insists that we do it his way. We do it because that is his thing. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | Plant-based proteins that I recommend include brown rice protein, which can be purchased as a powder. The manufacturer I recommend is Nutribiotic, and they offer a vegan vanilla rice protein product that's outstanding. I also recommend hemp protein from companies like Nutiva and Ruth's Hemp Foods. Other sources of plant protein are good. The only one I don't recommend is isolated soy protein because of some of the effects of soy protein. The only soy products I recommend are fermented, non-GMO soy. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | In the past, I have eaten quite a bit of soy, including soy protein, but my favorite protein source at this point is actually rice protein, because I think it's a cleaner protein. Occasionally I will use high-quality whey protein, but I continue to notice that it's not as "clean" a protein source as rice protein. I'm definitely not going to be buying TVP chunks any more. If the rabbits won't eat them, that's scary. Rabbits will eat practically anything, including cacti, old fruit, dried lettuce, and vegetable scraps. But they won't eat textured vegetable protein, at least not in my back yard. | Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith See book keywords and concepts | Look for one made from pea and rice protein.
Other important amino acids and antioxidants that you can find in supplement form to support detoxification include the following:
?alpha-lipoic acid
?glutathione
?N-acetylcysteine
?glutamine
?calcium-d-glucarate
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are often referred to as good fats because of the healthy benefits they provide (they are a form of polyunsaturated fats). In fact, EFAs aren't just good, they are essential to supporting optimum health. | Ron Garner See book keywords and concepts | Apple and/or banana, strawberries, et cetera 1 (or several) tablespoons hemp protein powder 1 teaspoon greenfood concentrate powder
Optional—add one or more of the following: Flavoring, such as cinnamon or oil of orange Vi teaspoon powdered enzymes rice protein powder Carob powder
This is very concentrated food. Drink it slowly, and mix it thoroughly with saliva in the mouth. This nutritious combination contains everything to live on and build health in your body. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Note that with the addition of the rice protein, you're now covering three macronutrient groups in this food bar. With the almonds you have the fats and the healthy oils. With the dates and the agave nectar, you have the complex carbohydrates. And with the brown rice protein, you have a good serving of protein. In fact, the bar contains a whopping 14 grams of protein. Now that's about half as much as perhaps a high-protein food bar, but it's still a lot more protein than you would find in most other sports bars or energy bars. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | I talk about honest companies like Amy's Kitchen, making organic frozen foods that are healthy and don't contain chemical additives, or Peaceful Planet, making wonderful rice protein energy shakes. Then there are companies like Lydia's Organics -- a small outfit making the best portable health food I've ever seen -- and Food for Life, which makes Ezekiel breads, tortillas and cereals.
There are probably hundreds of other companies I've mentioned or covered in my articles and reporting. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | I like to make quinoa pudding with natural sweeteners and a little bit of rice protein. I might put in some bananas, and it's just wonderful instant pudding, without any harmful ingredients. Or, like you say, you can make a quinoa chili. Just put in some beans and some tomato sauce and you've got a quinoa chili.
I think it's also important to remind people that when they are eating other grains, those other grains are not a complete protein. They don't have all the essential amino acids. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Maybe I'll even throw in some macadamia nut oil, rice protein, fresh strawberries, or fresh blueberries. You can't beat that, as far as I'm concerned. But it's important to note that you cannot get to a state in which you can even appreciate those tastes without giving up the assault on your senses posed by high-sugar, high-salt products. Most Americans have, quite literally, destroyed their sense of taste. They can get it back, but it's going to take giving up the offensive foods and substances that are now considered everyday items in the American diet. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | The manufacturer I recommend is Nutribiotic, and they offer a vegan vanilla rice protein product that's outstanding. I also recommend hemp protein from companies like Nutiva and Ruth's Hemp Foods. Other sources of plant protein are good. The only one I don't recommend is isolated soy protein because of some of the effects of soy protein. The only soy products I recommend are fermented, non-GMO soy.
If you combine this with a low-glycemic diet, hypoglycemia will almost always disappear within a matter of a few weeks. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | If you've been reading this site for any period of time, you know that I have a morning drink, blended drink, where I combine rice protein, spirulina powder, superfood powder, soy milk, stevia, whole aloe vera leaf right out of my yard and a few other elements including coral calcium, and then drink that down as my breakfast.
But, I don't rely on coral calcium exclusively. I also consume a large amount of spirulina. It can be anywhere from 5 to 20 grams a day, depending on the day. I also tend to eat a lot of dark, leafy vegetables. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | In fact, I call it dough, but it's actually made with a superfoods powder blended together with dates and rice protein powder, then formed into spherical shaped chunks. And this is the food that I typically carry with me if I go eat somewhere, because obviously I can't eat the toxic food at the restaurant, so I have to bring my own.
What's really funny about this is that people look at my food, which is real food, and they don't recognize it as food, so they ask, "What is that? | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | To do this, simply blend up some soy milk, stevia, rice protein or other protein source, add some flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate (that would be cocoa powder only, not sweetened chocolate), and then add in a couple of tablespoons of macadamia nut oil. This will make the drink have the texture and taste of ice cream, because when you're eating ice cream it's actually the fat combined with the sugars that makes it taste so good. | Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C. See book keywords and concepts | You will want to have at least the following every day:
• 6-8 glasses pure (not tap) water
• 2-3 servings fruit (preferably cooked or raw, not dried)
• 3 servings raw or cooked non-starchy vegetables
• 1 serving whole grains or starches
• 1 serving animal protein
• Or if vegetarian - 1 serving beans, lentils, nuts or seeds, or a non-allergenic protein powder such as rice protein (no whey or soy protein powders, until you have tested them)
• At least 1 tbsp and not more than 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil or unrefined sesame oil. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | And with the brown rice protein, you have a good serving of protein. In fact, the bar contains a whopping 14 grams of protein. Now that's about half as much as perhaps a high-protein food bar, but it's still a lot more protein than you would find in most other sports bars or energy bars. And, again, this is a high-quality protein, not some dairy-derived protein source. This is an outstanding ingredient, and it just goes to show you that whoever was formulating this bar really knew what they were doing in terms of nutrition. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | Currently, my #1 recommended protein powder is an unsweetened brown rice protein powder from a manufacturer called Nutribiotic. Their products are available at most health food stores.
Healthy cooking oils: olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil
Be sure to get a fair amount of healthy cooking oils into your diet. One of the best choices for this is cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil, which is good for your heart, your cardiovascular system, and your overall well-being. Of course, extra-virgin olive oil is rather expensive, so your next best choice is canola oil. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | I think it's the addition of the brown rice protein (my top recommended plant-based protein source) that creates a pie crust taste. It's out of this world.
Pure Bar gets an enthusiastic five-star rating from me. Everything is right about this bar, and if I had the cash, I'd buy one for every person on the planet. Nobody should miss out on the pure goodness of this food bar marvel!

Smart Monkey Bars
Organic? Yes
Raw? Yes
Sweeteners? | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | My recipe is to add one scoop of soy protein or rice protein, some stevia powder, and some soy milk and mix it together in the bowl before adding the cereal. With the cereal added, it's a delicious bowl of a high protein, high-fiber cereal that satisfies even my strongest desire for a bowl of Lucky Charms.
I purchase this Hi-Lo cereal at Trader Joe's, and I'm not sure where else it might be available, but I suspect that as it gains in popularity, you'll be able to find it at other retailers as well. If you don't find it at your grocery store, approach the store manager and ask them for it. | | Personally, I recommend two types of protein powder: soy protein and rice protein. Look for protein powder products that are unsweetened (or sweetened only with stevia), and absolutely avoid protein powders made with artificial sweeteners.
The next best sweetener ingredient, in my opinion, is fructose. Although fructose is a refined carbohydrate, but it has a much lower glycemic index than refined sugar, and it closely resembles the sugars found in fruits. | | Another of my favorites is to add cinnamon powder, coconut oil, rice protein powder and stevia. It makes for an excellent "cinnamon oatmeal" replacement, without all the carbohydrates.
But don't think that all barley is the same. Rolled barley has a very different effect on your body than pearled barley. Rolled barley has a higher glycemic index and acts a lot more like oatmeal. Therefore, it should be avoided. Stick to pearled barley as your grain of choice. | | My own diet consists of ingredients and foods like coconut oil, unsweetened soy milk, oat bran, stevia, rice protein, eggs, fresh or frozen vegetables, shrimp and seafood, avocados, healthy oils like flax oil and guacamole, hummus, bean sprouts, tofu and a limited amount of fresh fruits. Some people may consider these to be expensive food items, but they are a fraction of the price of many manufactured products, and they are certainly far cheaper than the medical costs associated with diseases like diabetes and heart disease (which are caused by processed foods). | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Brown rice protein, however, is clean. (I recommend the Nutribiotic brand.) Other strategies for cleaning out your system including buying a Vitamix and blending up a fresh raw foods shake each morning. Be sure to use greens such as celery and cucumber, along with various fruits or superfood powders.
And above all, if you want to eliminate body odor for life, avoid cheese, milk and dairy products. They make you smell like "milk and butter." The smell of these products is so bad that when U.S. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Occasionally I will use high-quality whey protein, but I continue to notice that it's not as "clean" a protein source as rice protein. I'm definitely not going to be buying TVP chunks any more. If the rabbits won't eat them, that's scary. Rabbits will eat practically anything, including cacti, old fruit, dried lettuce, and vegetable scraps. But they won't eat textured vegetable protein, at least not in my back yard.
Yet look at all the processed soy protein found in protein bars, cereals and frozen pizza. It's even used in burgers at fast food chains. |
