Cellular Healing Diet Case Study- Day 48 Brownie Recipe with Pictures!

Wow. I can't believe I made it 48 days. Well, I can, because this is a complete lifestyle change for my family and myself. Like I've mentioned in other posts, I'm on the Cellular Healing Diet developed by Dr. Dan Pompa. I'm also taking curcumin, which is proven to help convert oxidized Glutathione (GSSH) to the usable or "reduced" form of Glutathione (GSH). GSH is the "mother antioxidant" that our cells produce themselves. If our cells are chronically inflamed you cannot product GSH. Period. I also take the StressArrest from Designs for Health which is GABA and it is proven to calm the nervous system helping with anxiety and similar disorders.

I've been on the CytoCleanse for 1 week and notice a HUGE energy increase. I started at 8 capsules of Cytoclear/day and 8 capsules of Cytocatch/day. That was way too much for me to start with, so now I'm down to 2 capsules of Cytoclear/day and 2 capsules of Cytocatch/day. It is EXTREMELY important to begin slowly with this product if you are a sensitive or sick patient like myself (chronic ulcerative colitis for example).

Bottom line, the Cellular Healing Diet alone has done wonders for my energy and health. I'm looking forward to seeing how the CytoCleanse literally transforms my health. Get ready world, here I come!

Ok, on to the brownies. Ryan just asked, "Can I have a brownie yet?!" We've been out of Xylitol for about 2 weeks so we haven't had these magnificent brownies in that long. PLUS, I killed our blender by accident so we'll finally get one in the mail tomorrow from Amazon.com so we can have brownies and ice cream!!!

Here's the brownies I made tonight:



6 T flaxseed meal + 1 c & 2T of water and let sit for 2 minutes for it to gel----(or use 6 eggs)
1/3 c butter or coconut oil
1/2 c cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 c Xylitol (I use 1/2 c Xylitol and 1tsp Stevia)
1 c coconut flour

Melt butter on low and add cocoa powder. Add Xylitol and vanilla to flaxseed meal or eggs. Add the cocoa mixture and blend. Add the coconut flour. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Let cool for at least 20 minutes. Brownies are chewy!!

Serve with Chocolate Ice Cream~

1 c ice
3/4 scoop Whey Cool Chocolate
1 T cocoa unsweetened
1/2 tsp Stevia
1/4 to 1/2 cup canned full fat coconut milk

Blend to perfection- serve with the brownies!

Cellular Healing Diet Case Study- Day 44 Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream

I tried a new recipe on the Cellular Healing Diet today! The picture above is what it looks like so far. I put one can of coconut milk in a bowl with 2 tsp of stevita stevia and then 3 Tblsp cocoa (unsweetened). I mixed them in a bowl with a mixer and then covered it and put it in the freezer. I took it out 1.5 hours later and mixed it again. I guess I'm supposed to do this 3 more times to make sure it doesn't form ice crystals on the ice cream.
I'm doing it this way b/c I don't have an ice cream maker or a blender right now. I killed my blender the last time I made ice cream.




Today, I lowered the CytoCleanse dose to the maintenance dose instead of the ultracellular cleanse dose. I felt better today doing that, although I felt a little nauseated most of today.

This morning, I made 4 batches of skillet bread and put that in the freezer. I was going to make more Apple Flax muffins, but I ran out of Xylitol and the store is out also. I ground up about 1.5 cups of hazelnuts in my mini food chopper to make a hazelnut meal so I could put it on chicken strips and fry them up.

I dipped 3- 4oz chicken strips in water and then rolled them in the hazelnut meal. I fried them in coconut oil in a pan and they were yummy! Next time I would add some seasoning in the hazelnut meal like Italian seasoning or something.

I brewed my own Kombucha yesterday. My friend's mom gave me a baby and I started fermenting that yesterday. We'll get to try it next weekend and see how it tastes.

Cellular Healing Diet Case Study- Day 43 CytoCleanse Day 3

I woke up this morning and didn't have any urgency to run to the bathroom, but I did have to go.

With ulcerative colitis, it is important to limit nut intake, but it's been difficult. I had nuts yesterday and had blood in stool this morning. That seems to be the regular occurrence when I consume nuts. I will begin grinding my nuts to a nut meal and top it on my salads and foods and see how that goes.... or just eliminate them for a time.

I didn't have diarrhea this morning. But I did back off on the CytoClear today. I went down to 3 capsules 2x/day and then 6 CytoCatch right before bedtime.

I'm still taking the Designs for Health C3 (curcumin) and StressArrest (GABA) and L-glutamine.

Cellular Healing Diet Case Study- Day 42 CytoCleanse

I started CytoCleanse yesterday. The CytoClear is designed to actually clean out your cells at the cellular level. The CytoCatch is designed to bind up the toxins in the bile so it doesn't recirculate through your body once they are pulled from the body.
I started the ultracleanse where you take 4 capsules 2x/day of CytoClear and 8 capsules of CytoCatch right before bed. I had diarrhea this morning so I was told to back off and cut back the capsule count, but I actually had a NORMAL BM this afternoon. Holy crap!!

So, I will continue to take CytoClear and CytoCatch to detox my body.

I also got my urine porphyrin test back today. It looks as though I have slight mercury toxicity that is affecting my body's physiology. We will find out tomorrow from the French lab what my test actually means. I was surprised the levels weren't higher, but I'm so grateful that they are minimal as Asher probably has minimal if any mercury in his body from being in my womb.

I'm feeling like I have more energy, but I do feel a little brain foggy. I made coconut bread and peanut butter cookies today. I also made chili for dinner. I do not put beans in my chili and only put a 120z jar of salsa from Trader Joes in it. I eat the chili with goat cheese on it along with coconut bread since it's similar to a corn bread. Yummy!

If you are interested in the CytoCleanse email me at: bobsturner@gmail.com and I will let you know how you can purchase it through our office. You can visit our website here.

Cellular Healing Diet- Day 40 Sugar-Free, Wheat-Free, Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies!

Everything is still going awesome. I've been venturing out of Dr. Pompa's recipe book and experimenting on different recipes. Now that I know pretty much what we can eat, it's now so easy to change recipes around and they taste great!

Peanut Butter Cookies (Sugar-Free, Wheat-free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

1 cup of peanut butter (Valencia peanuts only- Trader Joe's has organic Valencia PB for like $3)
1 cup Flaxseed meal
3/4 cup Xylitol
1 Large Egg (or use egg replacer, unflavored gelatin)
1 tsp vanilla extract (no sugar!)
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients together and mix well. Add the vanilla and egg. Mix by hand until all the dry ingredients hvae mixed a thick, wet dough. Add the peanut butter, and mix thoroughly.

Roll the dough in your hand into 2 inch balls. Smoosh out with a fork (wet the fork with water between cookies to stop it from sticking)

Bake for 10-14 minutes at 350 degrees.

Makes 12 cookies

This recipe got 5 out of 5 from my husband Ryan. WARNING: Because of the high fiber content of this cookie, don't eat more than 2 cookies in one sitting.

Minimal symptoms of ulcerative colitis right now. I pray this continues to move in the right direction as my symptoms continue to subside.

I'm still taking the curcumin, gaba and l-glutamine for healing my intestinal lining and cellular inflammation.

Cellular Healing Diet- Day 38- Coconut Bread Recipe

I am feeling GREAT! I am 38 days into the Cellular Healing Diet and it is rocking my world.

I am taking 3pills/3x/day of Curcumin and 3pills/3x/day Stress Arrest (GABA) and L-glutamine 5g/4x/day to help soothe and heal my colon lining from the years of ulceration.

I found an awesome coconut bread recipe and I want to share it!

Coconut Bread

Ingredients:
6 eggs (or egg substitute, needed to have the coconut flour stick together)
1/2 cups ghee (or butter)
1 teaspoon stevia or 1-2 tablespoons Xylitol
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup coconut flour

Method:
Preheat your oven to 350. Whisk it all together, or blend in a food processor until all lumps are gone. Grease a bread pan with butter or coconut oil and pour your batter in. Bake for 40 minutes. This bread does not rise much if at all, but it's yummy, yummy, yummy!

I was able to play with Asher today outside and NOT FEEL TIRED. This is not normal for me. If I ever exercise, I always feel more tired afterwards. I have been feeling amazing the past week. I've also been doing Burst Training which rocks. 10 minutes, 3x/week. I do 4 sprints for 30-60 seconds with 2-3 minute rests in between.

I mailed in my Urine Porphyrin test to Paris, France last Tuesday and I'm looking forward to getting the results back this week. The results will tell me what type of Heavy Metals I have in my body, actually how much Mercury I have in my body. I have a lot of symptoms relating to mercury (Hg) toxicity. We think this is a high possibility because of the # of amalgam fillings in my mom's mouth when I was in her womb, the vaccinations I've received, and the 6 amalgam fillings in my mouth. So, we will see. If I am mercury toxic, we will pull it from my system using a chelator that actually BINDS to the mercury and PULLS it from the fat in my body. Once the mercury is fully pulled from my body, I need to get rid of the amalgams in my mouth which will take up to a year because I need to make sure my excretory systems are functioning optimally to make sure the mercury does not wreak havoc on my system.

Mercury toxicity has been related to ulcerative colitis... In genetically susceptible individuals such as myself. My grandpa Bailey had ulcerative colitis.

Ok guys, I'm doing great. I'm down on my knees thanking God daily for this information of the Cellular Healing Diet.

We are telling the world about it. You can learn more about our Nutrition Cafe' workshops on our website.

Peace.

Cellular Healing Diet Brownie Recipe!

I made it!!!

Today was 6 weeks on the Cellular Healing Diet and I feel WONDERFUL. I don't miss carbs, except Ryan and I went to a movie tonight and I smelled the popcorn and wanted some. But I reminded myself that the fake butter wouldn't go over well.

I wanted to share my brownie recipe again because it rocks and it's super easy!!!

6 T flaxseed meal + 1 c of water and let sit for 2 minutes for it to gel----(or use 6 eggs)
1/3 c butter or coconut oil
1/2 c cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 c Xylitol
1/2 c coconut flour

Melt butter on low and add cocoa powder. Add Xylitol and vanilla to flaxseed meal or eggs.
Add the cocoa mixture. Add the coconut flour. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Let cool for at least 20 minutes. Brownies are chewy!!

This is so easy to make and Ryan and Asher LOVE them! What a treat! My plan is to try some yummy muffins tomorrow.

My digestion is still OK, not awesome yet, but it's taken me 16 years to get here. I'm still chugging along.

I'm on a probiotic, curcumin (to reactive GSSH to GSH-- oxidated glutathione into reduced or usable glutathione), GABA (to calm down my body's anxiety that comes with ulcerative colitis).

We did a Tanita test today and I found out I was 28.7% body fat. I should be 18-25% body fat. My BMI was 24.6 so just on the cusp of being labeled "overweight." I will continue to do Burst Training (10 minutes 2-3x/week) and continue following the Cellular Healing Diet.

I just want to be healthy. I am committed to being healthy so that I can be energetic for Ryan and Asher. I will NEVER give up on that. In following my mission to get healthy, I am committed to helping others find their health as well. That's my mission bottom line. I know for most people, our Office is the "last resort" when they've tried everything else to get well- BUT, our goal is to be the first choice for healthcare. Getting rid of the root of the problem with disease. INFLAMMATION. Your body can heal itself and we can guide you there. We don't claim anything, we just move the interference from your body and let YOU do the work.

Let's press on today. Laugh. Smile. Enjoy today.

Ulcerative Colitis Case Study- Cellular Healing Diet

Another day feeling great. I'm so thankful! I've been watching Dr. Pompa's videos on the Cellular Healing diet and it's amazing. There are so many things people need to know about the food they eat!

I mailed in my urine test to test for mercury toxicity. Dr. Jen thinks I probably have chronic mercury poisoning from my mother's womb (she had many amalgram fillings) and my 6 amalgram fillings. So, we'll see what the test results are in about a week.

I did the VCS (Visual Contrast Sensitivity) test and it was negative- which means I tested negative for biotoxins (mold or lyme's disease).

It's important to note that mercury toxicity messes up the communication between your hypothalamus and the rest of your body, resulting in major hormone issues as well. I thought I had adrenal exhaustion at one point. I have progesterone production issues also, hence, the 4 miscarriages I've had. I'm really interested to see the test results. If I am mercury toxic, then I would get on a chelator that actually binds to the mercury in the fat (mercury LOVES fat, especially brain fat) and that would pull out the mercury in my body over time. I also would need to get my alamgram fillings removed- but this can only be done once I've prepared my body (excretory pathways) to eliminate the mercury properly. I will need to be on a 3-6 month protocol before I can get my amalgams out to make sure that my body doesn't go over the edge.

Anyways. All is well, just keep plugging away. My digestion still isn't where it needs to be, but it's much better.

I'm still taking my regular supplements and l-glutamine.

Ulcerative Colitis Case Study- Cellular Healing Diet Day 30

I feel GREAT!!! We have got into a method of how we do things at our house meal-wise. I'm always preparing ahead of time and it works perfect. One thing that stinks is this: I BROKE by blender!! I put too much ice in it to make ice cream and it died.

I'm looking for a new blender, but I'm still trying new recipes and experimenting with old ones. This is so fun!!

I've not felt this good in a long time. I'm not irritable or cranky. I feel rested when I wake up in the morning. I've been following this way of life for 5 weeks and I promise myself this: I WILL NEVER go back to the old way of eating. This life feels too good to be true.

I'm still incorporating Designs for Health Whey Cool shakes into my diet for snacks b/c it's quick and easy. Click Here to info on buying Designs for Health products. They are all pharmaceutical grade.

I'm also taking Designs for Health C3 Curcumin and StressArrest. I've noticed a difference in my anxiety and digestion with this. I've also incorporated L-glutamine into my protocol as I'm still healing the lining of my colon from years of ulceration and prescription drug use (prednisone & asacol).

For those of you who may suffer from digestive issues, please ask me how I can help point you in the right direction to get you feeling better. I personally don't charge anything for advice, but we do nutrition consultations in our office that take you through a customized program that will recommend certain testing to get your body back in balance.

Overall, I've been feeling amazing and I know that following Dr. Pompa's Cellular Healing Diet has been the "missing link" for me in my search for health and an answered prayer. I now know that eliminating sugar was the MUST that needed to be done for my health. This was the CAUSE of inflammation (along w/ bad fats) in my body- hence my Ulcerative Colitis (inflammation of the colon).

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get on track. We also do Nutrition Cafe' workshops that show you how to make the 3 Basic Changes that show you how to REDUCE inflammation, LOSE weight, and LIVE LONGER!!

Ulcerative Colitis Case Study- Cellular Healing Diet Day 26

Wow. I'm feeling MUCH better! No blood today and normal digestion. No bloating or pain. Nothing. I'm still taking this is strides as my body is affected when my menstrual cycle is approaching.

I've been eating great, yummy meals- mostly from the Cellular Healing Diet recipe book, but I'm starting to venture out and try out my own recipes.

I've made YUMMY, YUMMY brownies!! I'll share the recipe below.

Bobbie's Chewy Brownies:

These go in an 8" pre-greased glass pan.

6 T flaxseed meal mixed with 18 T of water
1 C Xylitol (natural sugar substitute)
1/2 tsp Vanilla (no sugar)
1/3 C butter (preferably organic)
1/2 C Cocoa (unsweetened)
1/2 C coconut flour

We had my chocolate ice cream with brownies tonight for dessert. It was AWESOME!

I've also been doing Burst Training. I've been doing sprints for 1 minute at 10mph 4 times with 2 minute recovery. I've also been able to do 40 pushups in a row now- full form pushups.

Not only is my digestive system feeling good and in the process of healing, I've lost 6lbs of FAT. Toxic fat I'm hoping.

Stay tuned for more nutrition on our website!

Ulcerative Colitis Case Study- Cellular Healing Diet Day 25

Sorry for not posting! I've been writing everything down in my journal on what I've been doing and how I've been feeling. I've been feeling great. I've come up with some REALLY awesome recipes and desserts without sugar. Ryan LOVES my ice cream and brownies :)

A few weeks ago Ryan and I watched the movie, Food, Inc., such an eye opener and confirmed why we eat the way we eat! It's based off the Omnivore's Dilemma book and shows how food is really made in the food industry. Or is it really food?

My digestion has been OK. I'm not flared up but it's not where I'd like it to be either. My energy levels have been insane and I never get the stuffed or full feeling when eating and I am always satisfied. We are eating so healthy and it feels great.

We signed up for a crop share (CSA) program this week through the chiropractic office that I manage. We get a full bushel of organic, local produce every week beginning in June for 18 weeks. It gets delivered to our office! We are so excited to try new vegetables and fruits. We are also looking for a place to buy a 1/4 of a grass-fed cow. It's a huge cost savings, helps out local farmers, and is SO GOOD for you!!

I'm still taking Curcumin to convert GSSH (oxidized glutathione) to GSH (reduced glutathione) to help my cells heal. I'm taking GABA or butyric acid to help my body calm down and stop being in fight or flight mode constantly. I've noticed a huge difference since taking these supplements.

The cellular healing diet has brought an amazing transformation in our home and Ryan even feels awesome on it. He's lost 10 lbs since beginning the nutrition program and we've figured out ways to get him his sweets without the sugar!

I've figured out a way to make amazing chocolate ice cream.

Put the following in a blender:

2 cups of ice cubes
1/2 cup canned coconut milk full fat unsweetened
1 packet or 1/2 tsp stevia
1 scoop of chocolate Whey Cool (we sell this in our office) Designs for Health brand
2 T of cocoa powder unsweetened


Blend and enjoy! I'll have to get my brownie recipe out here too. We had brownies and ice cream last night and it was amazing--- WITHOUT the guilt and health consequences!

The cellular healing diet is a GOD SEND!

Bobbie :)
