Britain's Jim Mann dominates to win the 174km race setting a new course record; Carol Morgan (IRL) wins the women’s race with a considerable lead.
As the MONTANE® Spine® Challenger goes into its second night, Jim Mann (GBR) started the day by convincingly winning the race and smashing the existing course record. Mann crossed the finish line, having covered the 174 km in an extraordinary time of 22h 53m 28s. This is almost three hours faster than former course record holder, Wouter Huitzing (DE).
Howard Dracup (GBR) finished third. He explained, “When I got to Pen-y-Ghent, I was crawling literally on all fours and going up over…you know the slabs at the top? When I got there, I was on my hands and knees and the wind just blew me over.” Simon Bourne (GBR) finished in fourth place.
The MONTANE® Spine® Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) Challenge, which is on the same course as the MONTANE® Spine® Challenger but only open to active Mountain Rescue personnel from England, Wales and the Scottish Borders, has been won by Joe Farrell (GBR) in 32h 25m 18s. In the women’s race, only Jane Hilton (GBR) continues to race.
The weather has been a challenge for all competitors and the rain and cold gale force winds, gusting to 70mph, have thinned the field.
Meanwhile back in Edale, the MONTANE® Spine® Race enters its first night. The men’s race leaders are currently led by Eoin Keith (IRL) and 2013 winner Eugeni Roselló Solé (ESP). They have been joined by Jasmin Paris (GBR) who also leads the women’s race ahead of Shelli Gordon (GBR).
The lead three are maintaining a steady lead closely followed by Jayson Cavill (GBR) and John Knapp (GBR). Followed by Montane ultrarunner, Kevin Hadfield (USA).

Objective: To assess the knowledge and practices of barbers regarding transmission risk of HBV and HCV viruses.Methods: A cross-sectional survey of barber's shops in Rawalpindi and Islamabad was conducted during September- November1998. Barbers were queried about hepatitis, knowledge regarding hepatitis transmission through razor, vaccination, sterilization, and the form of media they use for information and entertainment. Use of instruments on at least 2 clients were observed in each shop. Proportion and their 95% confidence intervals were computed.Results: Of 96 barbers approached, 12 (13%) knew that hepatitis is a disease of the liver, causing jaundice, it is transmitted through parenteral route and could also be transmitted by razor. During the actual observation of 192 clients, razors were cleaned with antiseptic solution for 22 (11.4%) and reused for 88 (46%) shaves.CONCLUSION: Level of awareness among barbers about hepatitis and risks of transmission is very low, and their practice of razor reuse that may spread hepatitis is very common. Messages about hepatitis need to be incorporated in media campaigns, in addition to regulation of practices.

There are many types of essays out there that are commonly assigned to students. Understanding their differences can help make the process of writing much easier.
A descriptive essay is one which describes something. That “something” could be a tree, a favorite ice cream, a person, a visit to a church, etc… The purpose of the descriptive essay is to offer detail about something using all of the senses. It should describe for the reader how something feels, tastes, smells, sounds, looks, or makes one feel. It can also describe how something took place or what something is. The essay can provide details in a list or it can present information in the form of a story, one which has a plot and theme.
The definition essay is one which defines a specific term. It might define the true meaning of honesty, or the abstract meaning of love, or how the meaning of family may run beyond blood relatives. This style of essay goes beyond a mere dictionary definition and then explains why the term is defined as such. It should tell a story, imply the definition, or require the reader to infer the meaning of something.
A compare/contrast essay might discuss the similarities between Paris and New York City, or discuss the differences between Los Angeles and London. It might discuss similarities and/or differences between two people or two religions. The purpose of this essay is to compare and/or contrast two concepts, places, people, things, events, and more. The essay can attempt to convince the reader of one side of an argument or it might just offer an unbiased discussion. It can be written in such a fashion as to arrive at some deep insight at the end, or it just can just focus on the similarities and/or differences of something. If assigned a “comparison essay”, it will typically just discuss the similarities while a “contrast essay” will just discuss the differences.
The cause/effect essay might tackle the cause of an event or the effect of an event. The essay should focus on what happened or how it happened, and what the result was. The essay is meant as a study between two or experiences or events. It can discuss both the causes and effects, or it can discuss one over the other. A “cause essay” is often only discussing the reasons why something took place, while an “effect essay” writers about what happened after en event.

Led by a consortium bringing together the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Luxinnovation, the national Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) was officially launched in Luxembourg on March 5, 2008, taking over from previous community networks Euro Info Centers and Innovation Relay Centers.
Ten years later, the national consortium assisted more than 20,000 SMEs through specialised European services and welcomed 13,800 business leaders at community-related events.
As part of the proposed internationalisation services, no less than 12,000 international business meetings were organised to put Luxembourg companies into contact with potential partners and foster European-wide and international business and technology partnerships.
“With the creation of this network, our goal was to provide businesses, through a single gateway, with a specialised information and advisory service and economic development assistance throughout their life cycle and in support of their innovation and internationalisation projects,” explained Carlo Thelen, the General Manager of the Chamber of Commerce.
By also enabling a better link between the companies and the services of the European Commission, the EEN network enables a better identification of the obstacles hindering the proper functioning of the internal market and directly involves companies at the forefront of Community policy-making.
“In this context, we can cite ongoing SME feedback, from entrepreneurs which provides the political class with the necessary information to open a public debate with the aim of forging a framework conducive to SMEs. This relay function is one of the necessary mechanisms for a European policy in favour of entrepreneurship,” said Charles Bassing, Deputy Director General of the Chamber of Trades, closing the event.
Participating in a panel including companies that have benefited from the services of EEN, Jean-Michel Ludwig, Head of the Start-up Support & SME Performance Department at Luxinnovation, emphasised the importance of innovation for any company, including the smaller ones.
During this round table, three companies with very different profiles, could confirm their experience with the network. The tyre giant, Goodyear benefits from the support of EEN for the development of open innovation initiatives that were also launched 10 years ago. “We were able to establish international contacts with partner companies which we would not necessarily have identified ourselves,” explained Benoit Duez, External Exploration Concept Leader at Goodyear.
Same ease to forge contacts for the young company AI4U, specialised in the development of artificial intelligence applications, created two years ago and which, for the moment, only serves customers abroad.
The Consortium’s constant search for improved action on the ground will be one of the strategic priorities for the coming years. In its federating role and its desire to serve the needs of national businesses and SMEs as closely as possible, the EEN network in Luxembourg will rely on significant coordination between all local economic and professional actors.
“The strengthening of cooperation links with economic actors in our local professional environment through coordinated and integrated actions will enable the development of a local dynamic that will be at the origin of new collaborations and associated synergies in the interest of our companies and local SMEs,” said Sabrina Sagramola, National Coordinator and Manager of the EEN at the Chamber of Commerce.

Being a mobile application developer is a lot like being a writer. It could make you a millionaire, or it could leave you in a basement apartment eating Top Ramen.
But an Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator company, TapFame, is ready to make things a bit easier on both the developer and the brands that are looking to build apps.
TapFame allows any developer to easily build a beautiful and engaging portfolio of their work, outlining each app they’ve built with screen shots, reviews, ratings, and the technologies within the app. Developers can also include their compensation information and location, giving companies all the relevant information they’d want during the hiring process.
And the portfolio is always 100% free to the developer.
On the other side of the spectrum, brands can post their proposed app project on TapFame under a strict NDA, so that TapFame can match the company with the proper developers behind the scenes. Of course, companies can search through featured developers on their own if they so choose.
In just four weeks of a closed beta, over 100 mobile app developers have joined the service and been verified as experienced developers. But perhaps more impressive, TapFame has connected these developers with around $105,000 so far. TapFame earns money by taking a 10 percent commission on every job sourced through the site.
Founder Satjot Sawhney was even nice enough to hook up TC readers with a promo code. The first hundred companies to enter the code TC100 will get to post one free project (the price is usually $25 per project).

Filled with nostalgic charm, Woodstock, Vermont transforms into a Christmas card. Photo: Woodstock Inn & Resort.
Travel advisors can pass along the magic of the holiday season to their clients by suggesting trips to any of these Christmas-themed destinations in the U.S.
This Massachusetts destination may draw to mind summer getaways, but charming cobblestone streets lined with decorated trees and storefronts on Main Street make it a perfect holiday destination, as well.
Thousands of visitors flock to the island every year for the renowned Christmas Tree Lighting and Christmas Stroll Weekend. The extravaganza kicks off with a wondrous Christmas Market filled with gifts and baubles. Santa Claus arrives via Coast Guard cutter for a parade. The day wraps up with a sing-along with Victorian Carolers.
Wellsboro has a unique bit of Christmas history that dates backs to the start of World War II. In 1939, a blockade disrupted the shipment of imported goods from Europe, including glass Christmas ornaments. As the holiday season was approaching, American retailers needed to meet the demand for more than 250 million ornaments. It was a factory in Wellsboro that would step in, with Max Eckardt’s Shiny Brite brand.
In honor of their history, Wellsboro puts up two dozen displays of these historic, locally made ornaments. The town also hosts a festive weekend filled with a live Nativity, holiday-themed game night, and more.
For the past 63 years, McAdenville has changed its name each December to Christmas Town USA. With it comes a full transformation, with 375 evergreen trees and nearly all the community homes covered in red, white and green lights.
Visitors can walk along the romantic, wreath-lined route through the center of town. During the Yule Log Parade, the log is pulled through the streets to the memorial Yule Log Fireplace at Legacy Park, and placed upon the fire.
Filled with nostalgic charm, this New England town transforms into a Christmas card with historic decorated homes, carolers serenading townsfolk, and horse-drawn sleighs. Visitors can experience the traditions of a 19th century Vermont Christmas, with a tour of the festively decorated 1890 Billings Farm House and farm barns. Everyone gathers for the lighting of the tree and Yule log, as sleigh bells jingle during the Wassail Parade.
It might not be a snow-covered winter wonderland, but there’s no shortage of Christmas spirit in Delray Beach. At the center of the aptly named Old School Square (a historic district revived as a cultural center), a 100-foot-tall Christmas tree opens to reveal a wonderland inside, with toy trains running around miniature scenes depicting holiday traditions. During the month-long celebration, visitors can take their pick from festive activities, including carols by candlelight, a holiday boat parade, and gingerbread house decorating.
Holiday celebrations get a colonial twist in Williamsburg, with caroling by torchlight, fife and drum performances, and the Grand Illumination, a celebratory fireworks and historic gun-salute display. More than 2,000 wreaths are hung in the town’s historic center, where holiday-gatherers can stroll with a resident adorned in 18th-century dress as their guide to the Christmastide season.
This alpine village honors its Bavarian roots with the Christkindlmarkt, a traditional German Christmas market, with booths where visitors can shop for gifts, decorations, and sweet treats. Or, visitors can take a step back in time and experience a Victorian Christmas at the Hardman Farm Historic State Site and learn about Victorian holiday traditions from docents dressed in their finest 1870s garb.
Guests are transported to Santa’s workshop at Ogden’s Christmas Village, where dozens of miniature cottages are modeled after Chris Kringle’s North Pole Village. No trip to the North Pole would be complete without a ride on the Polar Express; holidays revelers can take a ride on a mini-locomotive, as it travels through a tunnel, featuring holiday artwork done in glow-in-the-dark paint.
On cold winter nights, it’s fun to stay in the car and take a drive to view an epic holiday light display. This year, Branson’s Promised Land Zoo will be home to a new, two-mile drive-through display. The Zoo is also home to the region’s only live reindeer herd, giving patrons the opportunity to pet, feed, and take photos with Sven, Rudolph, and Prancer. The on-site Christmas village also includes a petting zoo with living nativity animals, visits with Santa, and a Christmas shop.
What the city lacks in quaint, small-town coziness, it makes up for in glitz and glam. Visitors can take a walk along Fifth Avenue for spectacularly decorated holiday window displays at department stores. The Bryant Park Winter Village has free ice skating, 170 pop-up kiosks and food vendors, and an outdoor beer garden. There are also holiday markets at Union Square and Columbus Circle. Oh, and of course there is the world-famous, 75-foot-tall Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. This is mostly because I don’t have that much to say at the moment. I’ve been practicing sporadically and my chops are suffering for it. While I had expected to have time during this break from my normal routine to practice a lot, I’ve found myself caught up in family stuff. I’ve been averaging a meager 45 minutes to an hour a day and I’ve missed a day or two as well. So I’ve managed to lose lots of endurance over the holiday break. Sigh.
I’ve also found myself a bit bored with what I’m practicing and I think this due to several things. One, I’m not playing very well and that’s depressing and frustrating. I like the music that I’m working on a lot but it really isn’t fun when I miss more notes than I get. Two, when I’m only playing for 45 minutes most of that time is taken up by my warm-up which I’m getting pretty sick of. I’m going to have to, at the very least, change the order of what I play for my warm-up. Part of my problem with my warm-up is that it’s turned into something I do by rote just to get through it. Not good. Then there’s my latest problem – D above third space C through G are flat. I’ve been doing something differently over the past two weeks that’s causing this and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I don’t think it’s an air support problem but who knows, it could be. The rest of my range is okay.
Perhaps bored isn’t exactly the right word. Maybe saying my enthusiasm has waned just a bit is more appropriate. Hopefully when the holidays are over and my schedule gets back to normal my horn playing will also get back to normal.
This entry was posted in Learning the Horn and tagged French Horn, Horn, Horn Player, Warm-up. Bookmark the permalink.
I never hear from you and wonder how it is going. Did you try the Brie En Crote? I think a bunch of us are in a slump after the Holiday programs. It is hard to keep going day in and day out with a strenous practice routine. I am scrapping by but have some difficult things coming up on the horizon. One of the things that is hard to accept is the lack of carry over of endurance. I have to work like a dog to keep the extremes in range. Then after long hours of playing (i.e. some days 4 or 5 hours to get the stuff prepared), I get a swollen lip. Half an Aleve helps but I wish I knew some other remedies for this. Got any suggestions for that and does it happen to you?
It is nice that you have gotten to know Johnathan Penny Horn. He said you guys are playing in the same concert band. I suggested he talk to you about the Hoyer horns as an option – provided he could find one that is not sharp.
I should hit if for three hours this afternoon to prepare some tunes for a piano and horn rehearsal tomorrow. So will sign off and see what I can come up with.
I’ve been in a bit of a funk. I actually miss our emails so I will try to write more. I have not tried the Brie yet but I’m planning to the next time I have people over. I actually played 4th horn for the Brahms Requiem in the middle of December and got paid! I’d love to find more of those gigs. At least band starts Monday. I was hoping to practice a lot during the holiday break since I didn’t have band or lessons and I actually played much less. I did get an hour and a half in today and the first hour was quite good. The half hour this afternoon, not so much. Oh well.
I have not experienced the swollen lip problem so I can’t really help with that. I do take Aleve daily for tendinitis in my shoulder so maybe it prevents the swollen lips. I do find that liquid vitamin E liberally rubbed on my lips fixes almost everything that I get that is lip related almost immediately.

In any marketing strategy, research is a vital part of the process. You wouldn’t build a house without a plan, and you shouldn’t attempt to build a marketing plan without some market research. It may seem like a simple concept, but can often be undervalued and overlooked. First, you need to understand your audience. After all, your products and services should either create or satisfy a demand; and your marketing efforts should reflect that. Use these steps to get started with your market research today.
If marketers were mind readers, there would be no need for research. You can try to guess at what customers are searching for to satisfy their needs. Chances are you have a good idea at what they want, or you wouldn’t exist. But to take your business to the next level, you should identify what you want to find out about your customers. You can achieve this through conversations with a group of your employees from across the organization. You can analyze what marketing efforts have worked in the past. And then it’s time to ask your customers directly.
There are a variety of ways to go about conducting your research. For instance, one way to find out how past marketing has worked is to ask customers how they heard about you. You can also take a look at sales trends after you put out a marketing message. Other ways to get information from your customers is to ask them in a survey. Keep those short, focused and unbiased. You can conduct them through your website, by phone or place a reply card with every order. This could result in a surprise at the responses you receive that you possibly guessed would turn out differently.
If you want to get more personal with your market research, conduct a focus group with customers. With this option, you’ll gain a quick snapshot at what trips triggers and what misses the mark. And you’ll probably get some good testimonials for future marketing pieces. No matter how you reach your customers, the results will be worth paying attention to for future marketing endeavors.
Now that you have a better understanding of what marketing methods have been effective, you have to actually put them to use. Too often, the research will be conducted only to not change the company’s ways. It can be difficult to let go of a strategy you’ve been using for years. But in the end, your goal as a marketer is to engage the most customers for your business. Although it seems like a no-brainer, make sure that you are actually listening to what your customers have to say. It’ll improve your marketing efforts in the long run, because having market research will help you better understand and communicate with your audience.

For the people of Junin in Peru maca has been used as a medicinal remedy to prevent and treat health conditions for over 2000 years. Traditionally it is used for it’s ability to balance hormones, mental health, reduce stress and adrenal fatigue as well as promoting vitality, focus, concentration, fertility and sexual function. If you ask any of the Incan descendants how to prepare maca they all answer the same way “It must be cooked or boiled to extract the medicine”. So why in our western culture are we suddenly changing 2000 years of tradition and deciding to consume raw maca powder?
How is maca traditionally consumed in Junin, Peru?
Maca is a root vegetable that is 70% carbohydrate, with a high starch content (similar to a potato). As such, in Peru, it is traditionally cooked in ways similar to that of potatoes or starchy foods. The whole fresh bulb or dried bulb is either boiled in a soup or grated into fine pieces and boiled as a tea or porridge. Stories say that the Inca would boil and consume up to 200g of maca per day via these traditional methods, with the local people claiming that sites like Machu Picchu were built with the power of maca. In more recent times maca has been ground into powders (fresh and dried) to increase surface area and allow easier inclusion into various meals. The ground powder is a favourite additive to Inca Tea (boiled cinnamon, cloves, oats and maca in water), one of the most popular way to drink maca in Junin (view here). For those from the region who want to eat their maca straight in milk they use pre-baked or gelatinised maca powder.
Raw maca is like a sponge for mold and the longer it sits in humid conditions the more mold it attracts. The problem with the type of mold that loves maca is that it produces highly toxic chemicals called aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are carcinogenic (cancer causing) and can have a serious long-term negative health effect on your body, even in tiny doses. The only way to kill this mold and remove the toxins is by cooking maca to sanitise it.
But doesn’t cooking maca destroy the nutrients?
How does cooking maca make it more bioactive?
To understand this you must understand the reason we consume maca. Maca is a medicine, it is a medicine for prevention of disease and for treatment to bring balance to our endocrine system. The main bioactives inside maca that give this physiological response are unique to this plant and are called macamides. There are 17 known macamides and each of them work directly with your endocannabinoid and endocrine system to produce positive health benefits for your body (Read more here).
Their biosynthesis occurs from breakdown of the heat sensitive glucosinolates (1) in the fresh maca bulb (Read more here). During initial drying of maca post-harvest there is hydrolytic processing of lipids and glucosinolates and a subsequent release of significant amounts of free unsaturated fatty acids (9, 10) and a key biochemical called benzylamine (7). Both of these compounds are precursors of, and whose accumulation correlates well with, the synthesis of bioactive macamides (11, 12, 13). What is now known is that the coupling of fatty acids with the benzylamine intermediate 7 (below), is a thermodynamic process (ie. it requires heat).
So it seems the Inca were right and the evidence now suggests that heating maca makes it more potent and bioactive. It also demonstrates that when it comes to traditional medicines it pays to ask the people with 2000 years of experience how to prepare it.
What is wrong with eating raw maca?
As outlined raw maca accumulates mold that produces toxic aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are cancer causing molecules that can remain in the raw powder of maca unless it is cooked. Eating raw maca is risky and can cause serious harm to your health and upset your gut biome (Read about examples of this here or here). In essence it can do more harm than good.
Raw maca root contains high levels of starch (amylose and amylopectin). Starch can often be hard to digest if eaten raw and may give some people symptoms such as bloating, gas, distention and abdominal discomfort.
We only sell gelatinised maca (pre-cooked) as it is higher in potency, easy on the stomach, ready to eat and more versatile. You can put it straight in a smoothie or cook it. (NB: this is 100% vegan friendly and does not contain gelatin).
Unfortunately, cooking or heating isn’t a reliable way to destroy aflatoxin. Anyone interested in that fact can do a quick Google search to learn more. Does Selwno test your maca products for aflatoxin to ensure customers aren’t being exposed to this carcinogen?
Thanks for your comments. Yes cooking doesn’t always destroy aflatoxins, but it kills the mould that produces them. The issue is that with the increasing global demand for maca many farmers are not allowing their maca to fully dry at altitude, a process that takes up to 3 months. During this time the risk for developing mould is at its highest, if not properly dried the maca can easily begin to grow mould. The species of mould most common to maca is one that has a high risk for producing aflatoxins. If mould is present in the raw bulb before processing it can contaminate the raw powder and continue to grow after processing. The risk is that if someone buys this powder they may consume it raw and subject their body to the mould and the aflatoxins it produces. When you buy raw maca from a large superfood corporation you are in essence buying from a broker in Peru who’s job is to source affordable powder from farming regions and on-sell at a profit. So our question is do you trust a broker to ensure the quality of that powder, that it is properly dried and free of mould? Do they even know how that maca was farmed and dried? Do they test for mould levels? Our maca is sanitised by a gelatinisation process (Pressure cooking) to simulate traditional preparation and remove all possible mould, bacteria etc before bagging and shipping. We test mould and bacterial levels both before and after processing to ensure our maca is safe to consume straight. We also assist with harvest, seeding, planting and drying in Peru on the farm to ensure that our maca is completely dry before processing and free of mould. Our maca is farm to table, we do not have to rely on brokers or intermediates, we personally source it ourselves. We also have a research program with a university in New Zealand that analyses our maca for medicinal and quality purposes. Maca has never been consumed raw in Peru and the medicinal benefits are enhanced with cooking so we advise customers that the safest way to consume maca is in the gelatinsed or atomised forms for these very reasons. This is why we choose to only sell these forms of maca. Not all food is meant to be eaten raw and raw is not always best. We have met many customers that have become sick from eating raw maca in a smoothie and having tried our maca have had no problems since. We just want people to have a good experience with maca and understand the way it is traditionally prepared and consumed. I hope that answers you questions and concerns.
Thank you very much for your well explained article. Well… I didn’t know this and I was eating raw maca for around five months, not in big amounts but still raw. I’d like to ask if boiling raw pieces (this is the way I bought it and I usually prefer) could do. I understand that boiling it is okay but I prefer to ask since I don’t have powder or other form but the above-mentioned. Thanks in advance!
Yes definitely, in Peru the most common way to consume is to boil the dried bulbs. The dry bulb is 10x more medicinal than the fresh bulb so it is the way it is most frequently consumed. Often they will add in cinnamon, cloves and quinoa or oats to make a tea or runny porridge also. Delicious!!
Hi, thank you very much for all the knowledge provided. I have got a question: I only possess the dried bulbs of maca negra. I am about to start boiling 1 turnip (14grams) in 1l of water for about 60min. Once it’s boiled, should I just eat the bulb alone or can I also drink the decoction as well ? Looking forward to your answer. Thank you beforehand!
You can eat the boiled roots and drink the broth for full benefit. Definitely as a minimum consume the broth though as this should have most of the nutrients and macamides in it.
For those who have adverse effects from consuming raw maca we recommend ceasing use immediately. If you still feel unwell and have upset your gut biome then it is good to begin a short course of probiotics, combined with daily prebiotic rich foods. A detox type diet eliminating refined sugars, alcohol, saturated fats etc and replacing with wholefoods is ideal. Our guide to ideal foods to help rebalance your biome are listed in our healthy living guide here: http://www.selenohealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Seleno-Health-Lifestyle-Guide.pdf If you do want to give maca another go then be sure to use a gelatinsed powder or cook your raw powder. Gelatinised maca can also be further cooked to completely sanitise and breakdown the starch. This will not destroy the active ingredients and will promote better digestion. We have some great recipes on our homepage that you can download and try out. If you struggle with gelatinised powder also then try cooking it as it may be an issue with starch. You may also want to try atomised maca, that is completely starch free and sanitised. It is the most digestible form and the most gentle on stomachs. It is 10x more potent than the equivalent raw powder, has a mild flavour and rapidly dissolves. Check our website fro more details.
You have to cook it to remove the toxic mold. Otherwise purchase pre-heated maca.
Can breast cancer result from drinking maca? Do your chances increase if you have cystic breast? Most of the info on line is contradicting, it’s difficult to tell who is being honest.
We recommend cooking raw maca powder or using a pre-cooked (gelatinised powder) instead. In regards to the definition of cooking, it needs to be enough to sanitise the powder so boiling or baking. Again if you want a simple solution the pre-cooked (gelatinised) powder is the most versatile option.
I’ve recently bought raw maca and have only been consuming it for a short while before reading your article. Would roasting the raw maca be a safe way to consume it or should I discard it instead? I’ve read about roasting maca in an oven on 180 celcius for 3 minutes on and off.
In regards to eating it raw, one big issue is that most maca is processed in Lima after harvest and many farmers are not able to fully dry their maca for 3 months due to the consumer demand and push to produce. If raw maca with low levels of mould are taken to Lima for processing the damp humid conditions there at that time of year allow for the mould to rapidly grow. Some powders can sit in these conditions for months and the mould could easily spread. The issue is that the raw powder exported has a higher risk for mould that can produce aflatoxins. This was never a problem in Junin and most maca in the region is raw, remains dry and is always cooked after production to protect the digestive systems of the consumer. The other issues with eating it raw include a high starch content that can create gastro-discomfort (bloating, distention) and also high levels of glucosinolates that may damage thyroid activity. Compound this with the fact that cooking doesn’t destroy any of the bio-activity, if anything it may enhance it, then the question we ask is why are we in the West eating it raw? It has never been done in Junin and they advise against it.
If you have purchased raw maca then you have to know where it is from, how it was dried, how and where it was processed and the mould levels. Cooking aflatoxins doesn’t destroy them so it may be a waste of your time if there are aflatoxins in your powder. This is the problem when superfood companies buy foods they know little about, you are at the mercy of a broker from a corrupt industry. So may answer is yes you can bake your maca but do you trust where and how your maca was sourced? If you bake it do so for 20-30 mins at 180-200 deg.
I am positive the red ancestors appreciate you for this article and it should be read by all western health seekers. Maca is more potent as a natural pain killer, and powerful medicine boiled as a tea. The red people knew that boiling herbs extracted their medicine for humanity to drink and benefit. The medicine doesn’t get burnt in the boiling process. It gets extracted! If you don’t boil the holy herbs and roots, THEN there’s a loss! Ahomatakweeohsin. You are showered with blessings for writing this article.
hi! I have gelatinized maca powder and was wondering if it can be added to baking recipes?
Yes, gelatinised maca can be baked, cooked, boiled or eaten straight, it is the most versatile powder.
Should it be cooked on a high heat or low heat? And how long can it be boiled. Thank you.
In Peru the people will boil raw maca into teas, porridge, soups or stews or bake into foods (200-220oc for 30+ mins). There is no limit to how long it can be boiled.
Is fermented (for around a month under the sun) the same as cooked? Or is it different?
And does it make it similar to being gelatinized?
Gelatinised maca is a unique form of powdered maca that is formed by pressure heating raw maca powder (after sun drying), forming a powder that is ready to eat, in essence it simulates traditional cooking and creates a powder that is safe to have in raw foods without the need to further cook. It was created specifically for the export market and is the form that we prefer to export so people do not get sick from eating raw maca.
Hi, thanks for the detailed response! So what do the ‘fermented’ maca powders do to ferment it then?
Also, do you have plans for gelatinized versions of red/black powder or perhaps a gelatinized mix of all?
Reading the details of the products it sounds like they add bacterial culture, water and sugar to the finished maca powder or root and the bacteria feed on the sugar and carbohydrates. For example one product says: “PROPRIETARY FERMENT MEDIA (organic Saccharomyces cerevisiae, organic molasses, organic maltodextrin, organic gum acacia, organic soy flour, lactic acid bacteria [L. acidophilus, B. bifidum and L. rhamnosus], bromelain [deactivated] and papain [deactivated]) and organic maltodextrin.” Others use kefir grains and ingredients like “Water, Organic Maca, Organic Raw Cane Sugar, Active Cultures”. So in essence the bacterial cultures they are adding are consuming the carbohydrates and sugars they also add to make a ‘living’ brew which happens to contain maca. The issue is that they dont say wont kind of maca roots or powder they use, this is important as it can determine the medicinal properties.
We believe if people want the benefit of probiotics then use kefir, kombucha, kraut or another probiotic source. Mixing it with maca is only useful if it is standardised to a macamide per mL dose so then you know how much to consume. In our 10g (1 tsp) serve of yellow gelatinised maca we have 65mg of total macamides, ideally you need at least 50mg per day. So it would require 10g per daily serve of fermented drink of powder. It seems more like companies are creating a ‘fad’ product by trying to cash in on the fermenting craze by fermenting all superfoods, regardless of whether they traditionally ferment or not. The problem is that medicinal plants like maca need standardising in order to determine how much to dose, clinical studies have shown a min 50mg of macamides per day for 8+ weeks for benefit. If this is not something that is possible to obtain from a single maca source then you may just be wasting your money. In Peru maca has been used medicinally by boiling the dried roots into teas and broths for 2000 years, it hasn’t been fermented for benefit and probably for good reason. For gut health they prefer chicha de jora (Fermented corn) or Tocosh (Fermented potato) as these foods easily cultivate natural probiotic bacteria. All the ‘fermented’ maca products we have looked at have complex fermented brews added to them containing sugars and bacterial culture. There is no natural fermentation of maca from the bacteria that live on it.
That was informative. Thanks! About the red/black powder though, you only have atomized versions of those.
Will you be providing gelatinized versions of Red or black maca? Or perhaps a combined red-yellow-black maca gelatinized mix?
For now we sell the atomised (extracted) maca is this is more in line with traditional uses of the red and black forms of maca. To stay in touch with our product updates please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for info.
Got it. Is the atomized version equally safe compared to the gelatinized versions?
Yes atomised maca involves boiling with water and plant based alcohols over a 3 day extraction, so safe to consume directly. It concentrates it 10:1 i.e 10kg produces 1 kg of concentrate.
Hi, I’ve bought a bag of raw Maca powder before I came across this article and started researching it more. I don’t want to waste the Maca powder, how do you suggest I cook it to consume it?
Would boiling it and drinking as a hot drink be okay?
Bake at 200-220 degc for 20-30 mins until golden brown or boil for a min 5-10 mins. But for versatility in the future its much better to get an activated powder that is ready to eat.
I placed my organic Maca powder in a non+stick cake tin and baked at 200C for 20 mins and it produced terrible smell and smoke whilst in the oven. It came out dark reddish-brown and tastes really bitter. Have I burnt it? What could have gone wrong?
You say to bake it until golden brown, but that’s the original colour of my uncooked organic Maca powder..
Are you sure it was pure maca? Some cheaper powders exported are actually often diluted with starch or additives and/or sugar. Also could be that your oven is too strong, was it on grill or fan forced? You may need to stir the powder around as it heats. It is quite time consuming and difficult, which is why we always advise people to just buy gelatinised or activated maca as this has already been through a heat-activation step and can be consumed straight in raw foods like smoothies.
How shoud I cook the powder ? In the oven ? I didn’t knew about this issue before buying the maca powder so unfortunately I got a raw powder from Peru. Lukely I havent’ consumed any of it so I can cook it before I use.
Yes we ship to Europe. It is a flat rate $9.90 USD regardless of order size. Expected shipping times are 5-15 working days depending on customs clearance times.
Hi Seleno Team 🙂 I met you a year ago in Blenheim (Realfood) where I bought my first bag of Seleno yellow Maca and I loved it! since then I consume every day. My partner and I consume 20g of your yellow Maca mixed with water every day and we drink in the morning. we wonder if we can eat it in a dayly basis. Thanks!
Hi Vera, great to hear you are still enjoying your maca. Yes you can definitely consume daily, there are no negative effects to daily consumption. Maca traditionally is taken daily in Junin (peru) and studies have shown that the effects are not diminished with daily use.
Hi, would maca extract be okay to take, does not say it’s gelatinised on the bottle. Many thanks.
I already bought raw maca powder. How can I cook it?
We always advise people to buy the gelatinised or activated maca powders as these are pre-cooked and can be consumed directly into foods like smoothies safely. Cooking raw maca, either boil (5-10 mins) in water, tea or other cooked foods or you can bake in the oven, keeping an eye on the powder and agitating over 20-30 mins. But next time go with a pre-cooked powder to save time and hassle.

I was always the girly girl in my circle of friends and family. Naturally, I was always learning about the latest makeup trends and how to achieve them. If you are passionate about something, you consequently find hours have past as you have finished reading through every beauty magazine and practicing on yourself! That was me growing up! Learning by doing.
People knew that style, hair and beauty were three things that were integral to who I was! My mother is Indian and is an artist, so you can only imagine the tapestry of dramatic makeup and colors I was exposed to. While other girls dressed up with concealer and mascara for special family events, I was perfecting a heavier dramatic look. By the age of 12, I had mastered winged liner. By the time I was in college and friends were attending galas and special events, the rumors spread to go get glam with Jeet.
I graduated from University of Maryland with a degree in criminology and did work as a background investigator for a few years after graduating. But after having our baby girl, I found myself exhausted…trying to keep up with a full-time job I wasn’t in love with and raising a child with my husband. I wasn’t there for her in the completely present way I wanted to be, I needed flexibility; I needed to open up my own beauty practice.
You can imagine the pushback I received! “That’s a great transition job, Jeet. But you can’t make a living doing this!” That only fueled me even more! I was determined to show that if you allow what you love to drive your ambition, nothing can stop you. I had a lifelong passion for beauty doubled with a momma’s love for her baby, you bet this was GOING to happen! In 2014, I took the leap and immediately started learning from a few artists in the area. I combined my self-taught talent with the mentorship of women who were where I wanted to be. What’s that quote? “Surround yourself with what you want to become”?
I have always admired and learned from Tamanna Roashan (@dressyourface). To me, she’s the OG of the Instagram makeup world. Creating a million dollar industry by the time she was 30? Attending her seminar was a must. I think I am able to work will all types of clients because of her tutelage. I model her work in mine and tailor it to each of my clients. Every issue from skin tones, color matching, Arabian makeup…I’ve mastered it because I’ve done it.
We’re all women. We all understand times of insecurity. From young girls just entering the world of makeup, college women wanting to learn a more professional look, expecting mommas who feel as though they’ve lost their beauty mid-pregnancy to single mothers and working mothers. Heck, even during times you just feel bloated and need to learn about the magic of a good contour.
I think I loved beauty as a child because there is a confidence that comes from feeling beautiful. I always felt confident when my makeup was done. I learned that by doing it.
I love when women look in the mirror and feel confident, and that’s how every woman leaves after she has worked with me.
I’ve learned that, by delivering it.

As I start this, I’m riding the BART train into work. This is a way of commuting I’m still not used to. It’s not cheap—$4.75 each way on BART plus $1 a day for parking (unless I buy a monthly parking permit, which is actually more expensive per day at $30 a month). It’s also not fast—the drive from the apartment in Foster City to the Millbrae Transit Station, the southern end of the BART line on the Peninsula, is 15 to 20 minutes and the ride on BART is 35. On the flip side, though, it’s relatively easy: obviously, on BART there’s no driving involved. And parking fees alone at my building would cost more than I’m paying for this trip.
I’ll admit that of the several commuter rail services I’ve tried in the Bay Area, BART is the best only in terms of reach. Caltrain is considerably quieter, considerably more comfortable, and considerably faster—a limited or bullet train would make the trip into San Francisco from Millbrae in under 20 minutes. And it’s no more expensive. Unfortunately, the SF Caltrain station is a mile and a half from the office, more than I’m inclined to walk. Taking MUNI from the station to the office would add another $4 per day in the commute. In theory, I could actually catch Caltrain closer to the apartment at the cost of an extra buck a day in parking, but at that point it’s become a third again as expensive, and Caltrain—as jakebe frequently has reason to complain—has the Achilles’ heel of railroad crossings, providing high potential for traffic accidents and the occasional suicide. BART is at various points a subway or an elevated track, but roads never cross it.
On the other hand: more comfortable, quieter, and—yes, when not delayed—faster. Hmm.
Anyway, this gives me something to think about: I can make a go of this kind of commuting and be moderately comfortable with it. This opens up the potential for living longer distances away from my work if I choose to, provided that both my home and my workplace are sufficiently close to rail lines. I could move back down the peninsula and take Caltrain in, or go anywhere in the East Bay that’s still on BART—although that would open up the problem I’ve written about before of being farther away than I’d want from friends. Granted, driving an hour or so each way to get somewhere on a weekend is hardly new for me, but I’ve noticed that in practice getting together with friends much past a ten-mile radius of one’s house rarely happens. Maybe one can develop a mindset of frequently pinging friends to see if they’re busy, to even (gasp) plan ahead, but by now it’s a little unlikely I’m going to change my ways, I’m afraid.
But: speaking of that, and of lack of planning ahead, I’d like to see if I can get people together for my birthday—to go out to a group-friendly restaurant, perhaps Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto. (I’m open to other suggestions; my thought is that Palo Alto isn’t too far for people from the South Bay, but isn’t as far as, well, the South Bay for anyone coming from the north or east.) Technically, my birthday is tomorrow, and while I’d normally just suggest bumping things to the next weekend, the next weekend is, well, Halloween. So. I may see if I can get people together for the next next weekend, say, Saturday November 7.

Smith has already scored 426 runs in the series.
The modern world of cricket has seen many batsmen with unorthodox stance and style. It is in a way their uniqueness which brings out the best in them. Steve Smith who recently helped Australia regain the Ashes in their own backyard, falls in the same category. Former England skipper Nasser Hussain has come out criticizing the Australian skipper and has went to the extent of saying that no youngsters who aspire to become a batsman and play for their country should try and copy that.
Smith has scored over 1000 runs in each calendar year since 2014. He has also managed to score five centuries in each of the last four years. Even then, his shuffle across the stumps makes him prone to lbws. However, bowlers fail to get him out that way. There has been numerous analysis and countless comments on him but he still manages to churn out the runs with unparalleled consistency.
Smith so far has scored 426 runs in the three Test matches at a staggering average of 142 and he isn’t done yet. The next two Test matches not only gives him a chance to whitewash England but also pile on their misery by scoring as many runs as he wants to. He got to his highest Test score of 239 at Perth notching up the second double hundred of his career.
“At the moment his bat looks six-foot wide. He has got an insatiable appetite for runs. You can see when he bats, he gets in that little bubble. He’s almost oblivious to everything that’s going on around him, except the ball that is coming out of the bowler’s hand,” Nasser concluded.

It looks like I’ll just barely make my goal of adding all 2015 race recaps before the new year!
-Location! Fallbrook is a beautiful city in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. I love going up there for the rolling hills, big trees and general change of scenery. This race was only 20 minutes from my house, so packet pick up the day before was convient and driving to the race was a piece of cake.
-Small Town Feel: I have a soft spot for small races that have a local feel to them and the Avocado Half hits this mark. I love how the race started from the Live Oak park, a personal family favorite. Most of the volunteers looked like high school students and the local marching band and pep squad were out on the course cheering on runners.
-Medal: Okay, this is a seriously cool medal. The race was on Memorial Day weekend, hence the flag.
Course: Because Fallbrook is so beautiful, I was expecting the course to be more scenic. It mostly followed a business route main road. There were a little bit of trees and open space near the residential areas, but I really didn’t care to run past fast food restaurants and dental offices. The two out-and-back segments just weren’t that interesting. Side note: the 5K route (which comprised of the first segment shared with the half) was the worst I’ve ever seen at a race. An out-and-back straight down then straight up the highway road. I felt bad for the participants.
Course support: I’m not usually a back-of-the-pack runner, but by May I was well in to my second trimester and slowing way down. Nonetheless, I was within the course limits and there were still several hundred people behind me. Which was why I was completely shocked when I got to the second water stop and they were out of water! The next stop was out of cups, and volunteers were holding up giant jugs of water for runners to put their mouth up to the spout. This is completely unacceptable to me. I held out as long as I could before I had to give in and try and cup some water in my hands around mile seven. At mile 9 I was excited to see cups and water, until it turned out to be a clear, unmarked mystery sports drink. The day was cool and overcast but that was still the least comfortable I’ve ever felt finishing a race. Luckily I had scored one of the only parking spots in Live Oak park, because I heard stories of runners waiting over two hours to get bussed back to their cars. Basically the race directors need to step up the planning and organization.
Overall, I was proud to complete my third half marathon of my pregnancy at a local race. I have other plans for Memorial Day in 2016 so I will not be back to Fallbrook. Supposedly the course is changing next year, and I will be excited to see the new route because that will absolutely influence whether or not I would return in the future.

The global color cosmetics market is observing significant growth due to increasing consciousness among the younger population regarding their appearance, enhanced beauty and personal care sector, innovation of new products, improved quality of life and increase in demand for color cosmetics to reduce age-related skin imperfections.

The growing number of online retailing channels has increased the accessibility of these products and is able to capture large consumer base. The cosmetic manufacturers are increasingly using online modes to develop an online store and are also required to maintain strong relations with the existing retail channels in order to satisfy the increasing demand of their consumers and maximize their utility.

It includes products such as eyeshadows, foundations, nail paints, lipsticks, powers and others. Its range varies from brand to brand and gain maximum consumer from the products that develop a point of difference in their product offerings.

Among the two categories, the mass product is expected to hold the larger market share during the forecast period owing to pocket-friendly pricing and its large customer base. On the other hand, the prestige product segment is expected to grow at a faster rate than mass product segment as the brand consciousness and loyalty is increasing among the prestige color cosmetics customers in the developed regions.
On the basis of application, the color cosmetics market is categorized into nail products, lip products, eye make-up, facial make-up, hair color products, and special effect products. Applications such as lip products, facial make-up, nail products, and hair color products are expected to register higher growth than other applications during the forecast period.
The primary factors that are aiding towards the growth of the global color cosmetics market include the increasing awareness among the consumers regarding their appearance and the attractive packaging of these color cosmetics. The booming fashion industry is making the younger population conscious regarding their physical appearance and the offerings introduced by the personal care industry is satisfying the social needs of these consumers. The young girls are increasingly following their fashion ideals, as a result, the cosmetic companies are making those celebrities as their brand ambassadors which have greater popularity in the overall market.
With an increasing number of working populations globally, the trend for coloring their lips, nails and eyelashes are increasing and as a result, the cosmetic manufacturers are rapidly increasing their make-up range and enhancing the distribution reach as the new players enter the market. The attractive packaging that comes with these cosmetic products makes it very appealing and gain instant attention from the consumers. Moreover, these factors are increasingly affecting the demand for color cosmetic market globally.

The new products introduced are increasingly adopted by the innovators and early adopters of the adoption process cycle that comprises of the majority of the market globally and supports the growth of the global color cosmetics market. However, the high cost of quality chemicals, economic downturn, strict regulations and the high price of packaging are the major factors restraining the growth of global color cosmetic market.
Geographically, North America is the largest color cosmetics market as the demand for beauty and personal care products in the region is increasing. The growing demand for organic cosmetic products, technological upgradation in the color cosmetics, attractive packaging and increasing consumer health awareness about personal care and fashion trends are expected to drive the growth of this market in North America.
The global color cosmetics market is expected to witness the fastest growth in Asia-Pacific. The increasing disposable income of the population, accelerating consciousness regarding appearance and improving quality of life are the major factors contributing towards the growth of the color cosmetics market in this region.

eczema is the label that is applied to forms of itchy skin rashes that appear on the human body. often the rash is worse around joints and areas where the body perspires, such as knees, elbows, fingers & armpits. when scratched, the feeling is often ecstatic for a brief period, followed by increased pain, worse symptoms and possibly also infections. i have experienced extreme eczema since i was a small child and used almost every healing method that i could find to bring balance back to my body and skin.
here i will share some of what i have learned over 3+ decades of dealing with what truly can amount to be a disability in every sense.
mask over the root causes of the problem.
create a perpetual cycle of medication and re-medication which is stressful, expensive and unnecessary.
deny the true voice of the ailing body from being heard and truly appropriate action being sought and found.
can actually weaken and thin the skin - in the case of steroid creams.
no-one was asking "what are the causes of the eczema?" since the doctor's thought on that topic ended at his claim that "eczema comes and goes in 7 year cycles - so you will have it for 7 years and then it may end!" (seriously, that is what i was told as an IMPRESSIONABLE child).
the causes in my case?
we are all unique and there are many ways for a body to be pushed out of balance. all dis-ease is an expression of imbalance, in one way or another, so to heal our issues we need to know what true balance is and to make the called for changes that will create/allow a new balance within us. in my case, there were numerous environmental and internal causes for my suffering with eczema. both my parents smoked industrially produced tobacco cigarettes, which we now know commonly contain hundreds of synthetic chemicals, none of which should be present in the air that we breathe. the toxic load that this placed on my body was high and no-one was aware/awake enough to care enough to change that for me. additionally, at that time (the 1980s/1990s) there was little awareness of the high levels of toxic, synthetic chemicals being put in our food and drinks, such that my body was bombarded constantly with chemical structures that simply did not belong in my blood, organs and SKIN!
the medical approach, as is sadly so common, was to apply yet MORE synthetic chemicals to an already overloaded body. since the intentions of the medical approach was to suppress symptoms, the main outcome was to delay me noticing that the medical approach was making the body MORE sick and not less. this suppression and denial made the process of learning how to heal the body far more difficult than was necessary and added great confusion into my mind. there were some days where my arms were totally bandaged since they were weeping and infected; i could not move my arms without intense pain being triggered over all of the skin. on top of this, i was commonly 'made fun of' at 'school' by other children whose own lack of heart presence and thus their associated loss of intelligence and conscious awareness was causing them to trigger extra stress in my developing being, emotions and mind.
this combination of environmental and dietary pollution, with psychological abuse and medical malfeasance/corruption/denial led me to feel helpless, lost, confused and broken. i did not make any particularly successful healing occur until i had left school at age 16, when i could begin to make more liberated choices and more radical changes in my life experiences.
our bodies are highly complex and highly able to heal themselves if balance is allowed and we choose to listen to the body's needs and change our behavior accordingly. there are numerous ways that the body's self healing processes can become broken or overpowered and without conscious awareness of what is occurring in the body, we may not detect the deeper problems in our body's energy flows and may become trapped in a never ending cycle of fixing what is not broken and ignoring what is broken. the lymphatic system is a key part to the body's way of being cleaned internally. the lymphatic system is a fluid system that is similar to the blood system except that it does not have a constantly active pump to circulate the lymph fluid in the same way that the blood system has the heart to keep the blood moving. in the case of the lymphatic system, the movement of the body and in particular the legs (through walking/running) acts as a pump which stimulates movement of lymph. in eczema, what may be occurring for many is that, the immune system begins to remove/break down the skin cells rather than perform it's intended role of removing 'invaders' and toxins from the body's cells. the more overloaded the body is with toxic debris, the more likelihood there is of an immune system overload and dysfunction, since at a certain point there is simply too much for the body to clear away. if the body is acidic, due to eating acid forming foods such as meat and dairy (as i was fed as a child) then the body will commonly store the acid metabolic wastes that are produced as an effect of these dietary choices in body fat and this will cause another level of problem for the evolving soul/body, which causes extra stress and extra load on the lymphatic, blood and other sub-systems. our skin is an organ of elimination, meaning that the skin is part of a process of releasing the things we do not need, just like our bowels excrete cellular and food waste, our skin excretes a variety of elements too. if the main 'cleaning' organ of the body (the liver) and the associated other organs/sub-systems (kidneys, lymphatics, blood and others) are not working optimally, then the skin may be over burdened and skin symptoms will develop.
all of these are essentially expressions of the same dysfunctional patterns, beliefs and behaviors and thankfully they all have solutions that are clear, easy to adopt and commonly very successful. we need to learn to thoroughly detoxify the body and to make the necessary changes that will clean out everything that is in the body that should not be present, while also doing the same for our environment beyond our own body. the energetic environment that we have inherited from the 'industrial age' is hugely out of balance and the corporatisation of food and medicine has caused far more problems than it can solve. how do i know this? i know this since i have now healed my body of 95% of the allergic / immune system dysfunctions and symptoms that are commonly called 'eczema', 'asthma', 'hayfever' - plus several addictions to corporate 'food' items and other related issues. i did this using well known detoxification processes and through listening to my body and emotional intuition, i learned to how to alkalyse, hydrate and feel my body's needs and i know that NO amount of medical intervention or prescribing will help to heal us while we are not using the required self-healing methods to heal ourselves.
what type of detoxification works?
every body is unique and while i will happily share what has successfully helped me, others will need to learn to tune in to their own ever-changing needs, if they are to cause internal balance and health. in my case, i began with the master cleanse, which is a 1-2 week process of stopping eating and instead only drinking a mixture of organic lemon juice, maple syrup & cayenne pepper (in proportions that are defined by the creator of the cleanse). i also drank 1-2 pints of salt water every morning to initiate an internal cleanse of the digestive tract, which helped a lot. at the end of this process, my taste buds had 'reset' and i now found i could enjoy eating leafy green vegetables and many other living foods, which for all of my life until that moment i had disliked the taste of. i had overloaded my body with sugar, synthetic 'simulated' flavoring and other low quality 'foods' as a child and my perception was distorted as a result. the master cleanse helped me to 'reboot' my body system and was a major first step to health for me.
since that first step i have bought a high quality juicer and high speed food blender, which allow me to produce high quality juices and smoothies that not only help to accelerate the cleaning out of the body (and healing of the skin), but also rapidly replenish the body's stores of minerals, enzymes and vitamins - which are exactly what the body needs to maintain healthy skin. i now find that drinking a daily 'lemon and ginger blast' (juiced organic cucumber, lemon, ginger, fennel, celery, apple + herbs) keeps my skin health and overall health higher than i can achieve through any other approach i have found.
essentially, any action you can do to detoxify the body and the environment will also help the skin. so stopping using non-organic food, cleaning chemicals, household furniture & clothing will probably help. these 'things' in our lives are generally from the earth, in that they are made using material that is either dug up from the earth or grows on the surface of the earth. the cleaner they are, the more balanced we will be too.
the tap water in most areas of the planet is not great quality. even in the areas where tap water is considered to be clean, there will be a variety of chemicals present in the water which do not help us. i have tested the water in the area commonly known as 'england' and found bromine, chlorine, fluoride and others in high enough concentrations to cause the body problems. so fitting a water filter system to cover your home's entire water supply is a great help. i advise to avoid activated alumina as these have the potential to dump aluminum into the water, which when combined with fluoride has been shown to be a massive health risk. carbon filters will remove chlorine and many other toxins, though you may need to use other processes to create truly clean water. a home distiller is also a great option for drinking water, since it will remove almost every chemical from the water - so much so that you will need to remineralise the water afterwards and raise it's PH level. i recommend using pharmaceutical grade bicarbonate of soda to raise the PH and one of the remineralisation fluids that are available online, such as ultratrace.
stopping smoking and relocating to an area with as little pollution as possible will help a lot. so too will learning to breathe deeply and learning to release any habits of controlling the breathing that result in shallow breathing and an associated lack of oxygen in the body. a lack of oxygen will diminish the body's health and also the mind's ability to think clearly, so this is also a must to address.
we are commonly led to believe that sun can be dangerous for our health. however, this is fictional since without direct sun exposure our health will decrease - we need to receive relatively low levels of UV light that are provided by our sun. repeated experiments have shown that health is decreased considerably (to the point of causing death) if a living being does not have enough access to direct sunlight and instead is blocked from the sun by simple transparent window glass or other materials. the fact that we often spend most of our days behind windows in building and cars (such as SCHOOLS) is a significant factor in our ill health. we need to get 'outside' and into the sunlight as much as possible (taking care to listen to the body's needs, to re-hydrate and to come into shade whenever is appropriate).
one of the more recent healing steps i have had great success with is bathing in a mixture of minerals, salts and earth. when done correctly, this has an immediate soothing, healing and balancing effect on my skin, so much so that if i have any symptoms of eczema they will be gone within minutes or in some cases in hours, after such a bath.
1 cup of bentonite clay (or other similar high quality, clean earth - that is known to aid in detoxification).
all of these can be found online quite easily and are highly recommended from experience.
another great option can be trans-dermal magnesium, which is a liquid form of the element magnesium. BE CAUTIOUS with this, since it can cause extreme burning sensations when applied (even diluted) to broken skin - i speak from experience. however, if used appropriately this can have an overall beneficial effect on eczema in some cases.
when we suffer with eczema, we are producing a large amount of dead skin cells which equates to more dust in our home. this also commonly may result in problems with our bed's mattress in terms of various types of mites and other tiny life forms that are attracted to the dead cells. therefore it is significant when healing eczema to ensure that your bed and house are kept as dust free as possible. cleaning modern mattresses is not a simple task and so i recommend finding other forms of sleeping arrangements that do not involve such large elements as metal sprung mattresses. you may find that a futon works well since it can be easily moved to be cleaned, unlike a standard sprung mattress.
in the few times i have applied my own urine to areas of eczema on my body, the skin has healed rapidly. i wish i had known about this simple approach when i was a child as it would have saved me a lot of heartache.
once we are all aware of the true ways of healing our body and our mind, we will be free in ways that even now few can imagine.
