Atsuete replaces tomato sauce in cooking

by

There are popular dishes that require tomato sauce in the recipe.  The problem is that I and two of my children are eczematic which means we are allergic and react to tomatoes.  And tomatoes being a nightshade is contraindicated to children below 7 years old according to anthroposophic medicine.  One lucky day, a few weeks ago as my mother in law was clearing the garden, she saw that our neighbor’s atsuete tree had grown over to our side and had lots of ripe atsuete fruit.  Suddenly we had lots of organic atsuete in our hands.  What to do with all the atsuete?

My mother in law first thought of what we had available.  We had some callos – beef stomach in our freezer, maybe it was time to make beef callos but instead of usually using tomato sauce, use atsuete sauce.  The callos turned out wonderful, tasty, fatty… the atsuete had a tasty oil by itself aside from the red color.  The callos gave the children a chance to eat organ meats… which is important to growing children.

This lunch time our maid was cooking chicken afritada ala atsuete instead of tomato sauce.  My wife saw our 2nd boy eating organic chicken afritada and thought that my boy was eating tomato sauce… no, no, it fooled her too, atsuete sauce looks and tastes like tomato sauce for afritada.

If you have eczematics, psoriatics or arthritics in the house, you may do them a favor by switching from tomato sauce to atsuete sauce.

My 4 year old girl had tummy ache and sore throat and we cured her fast

by

Last night my 4 year old girl was complaining of a tummy ache.  Maybe she ate too much.  This girl tends to eat too much.  Auntie tapped lightly on her big tummy and sure enough it sounded like a little drum.  Too much air, gas trapped inside.  Time for some gas relieving measures.

First on my mind was manzanilla, a cheap green oil, asked the maid to fetch it but they said they ran out.  I smelled liniment, no!  No to liniment!  I opened the maids room and said no to liniment ever, I said that the brand Pau that is commercially sold is NOT Pau d’ Arco the original real thing that contained the South American bark Pao d’ Arco, the Pau sold here is liniment is just plain liniment… a marketing gimmick.

My wife called on our senior nannie and she knew some herbal relief.  She chopped some red onions and juiced it and wiped the juice on her tummy.  Asked my little girl to lie on her back and rubbed some onion juice at the bottom of her spine.  A few minutes later I heard them say my little girl had puked and sure enough I saw she puked a lot on the floor.  I think this was pure gluttony.  I should see her more during the afternoons and see what they are feeding her.

This morning she immediately complained of pain in her throat, pain swallowing anything. So much pain she can’t even have breakfast.  We were having watermelon and she cannot even eat watermelon.  Bad sign.  I needed something that worked fast.

For the soar throat I got 1/4 cup of water and put 10 drops of Quantum Minerals Plus in it.  I asked her to gargle it, immitating me.  Raise her head and gargle for 1 minute each time until she finishes the 1/4 cup.  The first gargle, I asked her to swallow.  The next gargles I asked her to spit it out.

And to top it all off, my wife asked our maid to freshly squeeze some oregano leaves and asked our little girl to drink a good maybe 1 tablespoon or more from a small cup.

Our 4 year old girl went with us to her older brothers’ school.  We had a meeting there with the Eurythmy doctor for our eldest boy.

Around 10pm I asked my little girl if there was still any tummy pain.  None she said.  I asked if there was any throat pain, none whatsoever.

It feels great to be able to fix your child’s problems on the spot.  I remember with our oldest boy we were still bumbling parents.

My 7 year old woke up with eye irritation and inflammation cured immediately with Eli Clear Herbal Drops

by

Our 7 year old boy was slow to breakfast this morning.  I went to him and saw him still lying down rubbing his right eye.  I see it was itching and inflamed and red.  Oh no, does this mean another missed day at school?

I remembered I had Eli Clear herbal drops invented by Mike Bote.  On the label it says the ingredients are: gotu-kola, hibiscus rosa sinensis, sebania grandi flora, kalanchoe pinnata.  Made in the laboratory of our neighbor SNBC for MC BOte Health Care, 573 Lecheria, Calamba City, Laguna.

Back to my boy, I just put one drop in his irritated right eye and I went back to breakfast.  A few minutes I checked up on him and to my surprise he was already dressed for school!  Ha ha, the Eli Clear worked instantly and my boy felt great the rest of the day.

Isn’t it nice to have these herbal things handy at home?  You can order Eli Clear directly from Mike Bote by calling his cell phones at 0922-8001790 and 0922-8593827.

Eli Clear is used for the ears, eyes and nose.

My 5 year old boy who had tummy ache now cured and had gone to school today

by

My 5 year old boy started having his tummy ache last Monday morning and threw up empty fluid.  I think it was due to either bad food, maybe from the tiny oranges kyat kyat imported from China and / or that “cake” called “sansrival” that was given to him behind me and my wife’s back last Sunday afternoon and / or maybe it is because we ate out Saturday evening at a restaurant.  Maybe there is a parasite component to this upset stomach, maybe I passed it on to him as a week ago I myself had tummy aches.

What we did were these.  I gave him barefoot herbalist dewormer every morning for 4 straight days 1 teaspoon in 1/4 cup of water.  No food was given until he asked for it and we followed what he wanted.  I gave him Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea for colon cleansing on the first day of the problem to flush out whatever it was bothering him… not much came out but his poop stinked real bad.  I ordered a temporary stop of his vitamins and supplements, the calcon 1 and 2 supplements, and the vitamin c, and the multivitamins of the anthroposophic doctor.  I witheld toothpaste, even if our toothpaste was non-flouride, and witheld soap and shampoo as well.

Our boy missed 3 days of school.  He went back this morning.  No more pain in his tummy and he seems to have a healthy appetite today.  And he was playing, running, jumping, swinging on a rope, and climbing the monkey bars in school.  All good signs that all is well.

I tried home made raw steak tartare for the first time

by

My son wanted ground beef the other day.  So I went to market and bought the part I wanted.  P 230 / kilo and had it ground up.  Yummy… fatty.  I refrigerated the ground beef, never freezing it and proceeded the following day to make my first home made raw steak tartare.

From what I understand of the original recipes on the internet and with having little available materials, this is what I came up with.

  • Fresh raw ground beef… yellow fatty.
  • 1 red onion, chopped in small bits.
  • 1 fertilized chicken egg yolk.
  • Freshly ground pepper.
  • 3 pieces siling labuyo / Philippine Cayenne chopped in small bits.

Just mix them together and eat.  Yummy, the fresh raw cayenne really made it taste great.  I think it needed more cayenne.  Finished a bowl full.  Felt full, just the right amount.

Something for me to keep handy in the future when I eat within a social setting.

Was looking for Ultra Phos Liquid and bought Super Phos instead

by

I was inspired by Dr. Kenneth Sutter’s book the Natural Healing Paradigm and thought, maybe 20+ liver flushes wasn’t enough for me.  Maybe I’m missing something by not doing a different kind of liver flush.  Dr Sutter prefers the coke + lemon + olive oil + ultra phos + apple cider method of liver flushing.

I remember my friend Jackie showed me her bottle of Super Phos.  I thought that was Ultra Phos.  I called up Dr. Dy Liacco and passed by his house in La Vista this afternoon.  I got Super Phos instead.  It seems to be basically the same thing.  Dilute in apple juice.  Hmmm…. apple juice is much easier for me to come by than apple cider.  I buy either Ceres or Harvey Fresh because these are pressed straight into juice… not from concentrate… pure.  And they are not American products… most american apple juice I see are cheap blends… from concentrate cheap stuff.

So tomorrow I begin my 3 day apple juice drinking.  Not a fast.  Just 1 liter of apple juice per day with Super Phos dissolved in it.  And by friday evening I do the coke + lemon + olive oil liver flush as described by Dr. Kenneth Sutter in http://www.curemanual.com/blog/2008/10/dr-sutters-olive-oil-coke-lemon-liver-flush/

I’m expecting different results with this different kind of liver flush.  I dream of being a Superman when my liver is 100%.  With my raw paleolithic diet… the future is bright.

My 5 year old boy has stomach pain and threw up this morning

by

This morning my 5 year old boy was not able to go to school.  He had stomach pain.  He threw up some fluid this morning.  Not food.  In fact last night he only had tiny oranges for dinner… kyat kyat they call it.

Last night we went to an at home party.  But all the food there was contradictory to his eczema.  His left ear was beginning to act up again so as is good practice, we be strict with his diet immediately.  The party last night had everything bad for him: non-organic chicken, fish pond grown prawns, crabs, toasted bread, noodles / pasta.  The only item there safe for him were tiny oranges, kyat kyat.

My boy did not mind.  I forgot to feed him when we got home.  He didn’t ask for anything.  So he slept.  But this morning there was his stomach pain.  He barfed some fluid on the couch, then I got him to barf some more on the sink.  I told him to barf until he felt better.  I was with him throughout… kids need parental presence at this age.  He wanted to poop, but there was no poop.  He asked for Dr. Tam’s Miracle tea.  Boy knows some parental taught remedy.

Remedy I did for my boy was this:  If he were hyperacidic, I had him eat some cooked ground beef he was supposed to have for lunch in school.  I had my boy drink 1 teaspoon of barefoot herbalist dewormer mixed in 1/4 cup of water.  If he had some nasty parasite, that will calm down his stomach.  And a while later I had him drink 1/4 cup of Dr. Tam’s Miracle tea so he can poop his troubles away.  I left the house at 10am.  He says his tummy feels just a little better.  But he is playing with his sister and a visitor baby Dane.

I have 2 possible lunches for him later.  I’m making raw steak tartare for myself and there is the kinilaw tanguigue for lunch, also more cooked ground beef if he prefers cooked… and maybe some indian ghee. Let’s see.

Update: at lunch my boy was still in no mood to eat.  I just made sure he wasn’t dehydrated by coaxing him to drink fresh coconut juice when thirsty.

After I had lunch my boy barfed on the couch, the same cooked ground beef he ate in the morning, undigested.  So much for the hyperacity theory. Seems his digestion is shut down either due to parasites or some junk food he must have eaten, or the kyat kyat imported from China last night.

His poop stinks.  Had 2 movements after I had lunch.  Smelled bad.  But not much mass.  Maybe he has old stuff in his bowels.  Maybe it was that darn cake he was given sneekily Sunday after lunch.

Around 5pm my wife arrived.  I was back in the office checking on things.  My boy seemed better.  But I arrived and he got worse again.  I was frustrated to find out he was given those awful bottled vitamin C and multivitamins I’ve been having arguments with my wife against.  grrr… I discussed that this was not the time to give our boy anything synthetic, any food, anything non-healing.

The boy is not hungry, don’t feed him.  Follow his body wisdom.  He gets thirsty sometimes, give him coconut juice.  My wife suggested salabat / ginger tea, good idea, may it calm down his tummy.

Tomorrow he stays home for observation.  I’ll give him another dose of the dewormer first thing in the morning.
