Dear Friends,

Since Valya’s newest documentary "Reversing the Irreversible" was released, we received lots of questions about diabetes. I find myself in a difficult position- I am not a medical doctor and legally am not allowed to give any medical advice. Even though some conclusions are obvious, I am not allowed to even point in their direction. Legally. But we want to help if we can. That is why Valya has chosen a script that consists entirely of other people’s testimonials. By watching it you may come to your own conclusions. And that might save your life. While we cannot give you recommendations, we are allowed to share our personal observations. For example:

While conducting my green smoothie retreats, I have noticed an interesting trend in the tastes of our participants. In the beginning of the retreat, it didn’t matter how many fruits we put into their smoothies, most of the people commented that the smoothie was not sweet enough. However, their attitudes usually changed towards the end of the week, when the participants noted that the smoothie was too sweet, despite the fact that it consisted of 70-80% greens and only a small handful of fruit.

As I was pondering of this phenomenon I remembered another story. My diabetic brother shared the observation with me that when he was a teenager, he needed only one teaspoon of sugar in his tea to be satisfied. When he developed diabetes, he noticed that he began feeling the presence of sugar only after adding nine teaspoons of sugar to his tea. He complained to his wife that the sugar became less sweet and was surprised to know that she was still satisfied with one teaspoon of sugar in her tea.

Considering both stories, it was logical to suggest that most people in today’s world have slightly elevated blood sugar due to a common consumption of refined foods in their diets, and as a result they have stronger insulin resistance, a physiological condition where the natural hormone insulin becomes less effective at lowering blood sugars. After searching on the Internet I was able to find several studies that confirmed my hypothesis. ¹

Now I understand what happened to the tastes of my retreats’ participants.
On the first day of retreat many of them still had elevated blood sugar and even very sweet green smoothies tasted savory to them. As they abstained from processed and refined foods during our retreat, and penetrated their bodies with healing chlorophyll by drinking four large cups of green smoothie daily, their blood sugar normalized and they became satisfied with a much more balanced taste.

Observation constitutes the foundation of every science. You and I, like everyone on this planet, have the right to make observations and draw our own conclusions, whether we are scientists or not. Our personal experimentation helps us stay in charge of our own lives. No scientific data can substitute for our own experience.

I strongly believe, now more than ever, that it is safer to go on raw food for two weeks to see for yourself how you feel than to read ten books and follow their recommendations without having any idea why. Through our careful observations we all have the ability to clearly see the results of our actions.

I hope to inspire you to start observing which of your actions makes you feel and look the healthiest, and as a result to create a personal plan that will work for you in the best way. You are your own best expert.

¹ Type 2 Diabetes - Can You Taste Sweetness in the Food You Eat?  by Beverleigh H Piepers,  http://ezinearticles.com/?Type-2-Diabetes---Can-You-Taste-Sweetness-in-the-Food-You-Eat?&id=3873532

Several years ago, I started to have dental problems from not eating enough greens, lack of chewing and whatever other reasons. I found that it was difficult to find a holistic dentist who would cooperate with me, agree to use less toxic materials and not making fun of my unusual requests. 

I went from dentist to dentist and I was left feeling rather frustrated. Years went by and my dental health was continuously declining.  The dentists offered me treatment plans that I was not comfortable with due to my beliefs.   You might think that I am too picky, when in fact I am a very patient patient!   I had lots of unanswered questions and I needed the answers not only for myself and my family, but for my readers and followers.  Finally I decided not to look for any non-traditional, already alternative doctor, but find a young, ambitious, well-educated dentist that loves his work and does his job well.  This is how 5 years ago I walked into the office of Dr. Jared Anderson, who has been my dentist since then.

First I was attracted to the fact that Dr. Anderson is a graduate of 2 prestigious dental schools in the United States.  Most of all, it appealed to me that Dr. Anderson loves his dentistry and his patients more than anything in the world and he cannot hide it.  His office is overflowing with the finest pieces of equipment.  He proudly informed me that he doesn’t use Amalgam fillings and uses only the best materials and procedures that he is aware of.  I was already experienced in how to irritate dentists with my never-ending queries.  With Dr. Anderson, I tried to keep my mouth shut even when it was wide open!  Dr. Anderson appeared to be a curious young man.  When I presented him with my book “Green for Life” he read it, asked many questions and was brave enough to try a green smoothie.  Another time, Dr. Anderson tried my jaw exerciser for himself and gave me feedback.  I lent him some documentaries from my library.  He especially liked “The Beautiful Truth” about Gerson Institute and the role Mercury fillings play in human health. 

I asked Dr. Anderson why he doesn’t have Mercury fillings removal listed among his services. He explained that American Dental Association doesn’t officially recognize these fillings as harmful and strongly discourages advertising of their removal. That is why I am writing about that.

If you need to remove Mercury fillings and live not far from Oregon I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Anderson for this special task.  He has all the necessary skills and equipment for this procedure, including high volume suction and tooth isolation. Dr. Anderson’s phone is 541-488-5088.

You may also consider beginning to educate your own dentist by sharing your books and DVDs with them.  Keep in mind that at the dental school only 2 hours is given to studying nutrition.  I have even met dentists, who advised me that meat is good for teeth and sugar has nothing to do with cavities.  If the dental schools don’t have time to educate them, we can take the time to help our dentists understand nutrition better.

During my recent visit in Moscow, a shocking episode occurred. I was surprised to hear from several women, that they will, "Never ever again color their hair!" My sister, Marina, explained to me that a few months ago, one tragic event made the headlines of every major paper and TV news channel. Apparently, a 31-year old school teacher applied a routine color treatment to her hair, as she had done for many years on a regular basis. Only this time, she has developed an allergic reaction, she felt burning and the skin on her skull quickly began to swell. The young woman attempted to wash the color off without any success. Her heart stopped in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. Official expertise concluded that the chemicals in the coloring treatment killed her. To the shock of the nation, this hair coloring treatment was very common and widely used. Here is this information in Russian. 

I so much appreciate that I was able to reverse my graying hair by regularly consuming green smoothies and never had to use any hair coloring.      

Love, Victoria

Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you one of my heroes and one of the best doctors in the United States: Dr. Thomas Lodi  from Mesa, Arizona. Dr. Lodi is an invaluable friend to many cancer patients.
Valya and I visited his outstanding healing center and did this interview with him. If you like what Dr. Lodi says, please don’t hesitate to support this brave man by leaving a comment and marking the "like" button. Feel free to pass this video to your lists and websites.

I resonate with Dr. Lodi’s work because I too trust the healing potential of the human body. Every time anyone asks me about healing cancer, I always recommend them to watch a documentary Healing Cancer from Inside Out by Mike Anderson. Several times I bought ten copies of this brilliant video and gave away to other people. On two occaisions I paid my close friends to watch it and I beleive their lives have been saved by it. You can order this video here.

Love, Victoria

Dear Friends,

We are so glad that you enjoyed our previous post with information about the outstanding benefits of pomegranates. Many of you asked exactly how to juice these miraculous fruits. Here is how we do it in my family. You may use any electric citrus juicer. We especially like the CitriStar we bought from Tribest.com because of its powerful motor. Since juicing pomegranates is a bit more complicated than juicing oranges, Valya and I made these photographs for you.

Good tip #1: Choose smaller, dark red ripe pomegranates that yield slightly to the touch.  Cut pomegranate in half.

Good tip #2: Place a plate under the pomegranate to avoid staining your cutting board red forever and to save some extra juice.

When cut correctly, you will be greeted with a beautiful red star.

Begin to juice just like you would juice an orange.

When you get to the seeds hidden in the folds as shown in this picture, tilt the pomegranate so that the ream of the juicer is pointed towards each pocket of seeds.

You will see that is very easy to juice most of the seeds.

To collect every bit of the precious juice, you may grab the seeds and the pulp and squeeze them with your hand.

Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice is often tart in taste. In my family we like to juice an orange or two on top of the pomegranate.

This picture shows a juice made of two pomegranates and three oranges. I like to drink this cocktail every morning during the short pomegranate season

Enjoy!

Love, Victoria
