The Best Oatmeal in the World

People who don’t like oatmeal haven’t tried the best oatmeal in the world. If you can afford it, get an oat flaker.
It’s an oat grinder. Google one. They are expensive, but will remain in your family forever. You’ll be passing on great oatmeal to your kids, and their kids.

Whenever grains are ground, 50% of nutrients are oxidized in a matter of days. So if you “freshly flake” and cook immediately- pure health.

You’ll need to purchase oat groats- oats right off the plant.
We purchase ours at our natural food co-op- The Good Earth. To feed two people, flake to get a scant cup. Boil 2 cups of water, stir in the flaked oats, bring to a boil. Watch carefully so it doesn’t boil over. When it boils, turn the heat down to where it’s barely boiling and cover. Stir after a few minutes and cover, let cook for 10 minutes. Shut off the heat and leave for 5 minutes. That’s it!

We never use processed sugar anymore on our oatmeal.
This works awesome! -mash ½ ripe banana in the bottom of your cereal bowl, then stir in your serving of the oatmeal.
Or instead of banana cook a small amount of raisins, cut up dates, cut up dried apricots (one of our favorites), cut up dried apples, cut up dried peaches, or cut up dried mango with the oatmeal. Instead of cooking dried fruit with the oatmeal, after cooking add cut up pieces of fresh fruit, such as mango, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, be creative! Garnish with cinnamon if you like. We add either rice or soymilk. To mix it up, sometimes I add chunked raw, unsalted, unroasted pecans, almonds, or walnuts.

This is the best tasting oatmeal. It has such a vibrant taste compared to Quaker Oats/processed oatmeal. The natural sweetener will be more than enough combined with the great taste of the oats. It is wonderful!

Please pass the antelope milk...

From a fellow blogger: "Let's really think about it. Why does anyone feel compelled to drink cow's milk? Why would anyone find it necessary to nurse on a cow three times a day? Why not an antelope? Would you be appalled if someone served you a glass of antelope milk to drink? Yuck. But maybe you'd gladly take that cow's milk, containing hormones, pesticides, pus, and any assortment of antibiotics, dioxins, bovine cancer cells- all kinds of bad stuff. There have been countless studies that show milk can have debilitating effects on a wide assortment of people. Kids can have unknown allergies to it. It may even be related to autism when the milk proteins (which humans aren't great at digesting) cross over into the bloodstream and mess with the nervous system. And the whole calcium thing. How does every other animal have strong bones? Drinking cow's milk? No. From the foods they eat. A cow gets its calcium from the grass and grains it eats. But most cows

Doctor’s Orders: Eat Well to Be Well

OAKLAND, Calif. DR. PRESTON MARING was striding along a hospital corridor at double speed on a recent Friday morning, his tall frame, white hair and frequent gesticulations prompting waves of greetings from colleagues, who also took care to sidestep his forward momentum. His destination was the weekly farmers’ market he started in 2003, just outside the front door at the Kaiser Permanente medical center here. “Since it’s mine, I made the rules — all organic,” he said as he skimmed by a line of stalls where fresh fruits and vegetables are sold to hospital workers, passers-by and even, he said, those bringing patients to the emergency room. Dr. Maring, 64, a gynecologist and obstetrician with three decades as a surgeon, is well known as a former physician in chief at the hospital, the man who spearheaded the creation of its new pediatric neurosurgery unit. But increasingly, his reputation and perpetual motion revolve around his conviction that in the health professions, the kitchen must

It is hard to eat and drink healthy, but it can be done.

Healthy eating is certainly not for everyone. For most it is too difficult to rid unhealthy food addictions. Temporary taste satisfaction is more important than thinking of health for the long term. I grew up eating all kinds of animal foods, plus sugary, salty, oily junk foods as well. These unhealthy addictions are not easy to give up. Babies/children raised on healthy food and drink alone have a great chance for long term health. But that does not mean adults who've been raised on unhealthy food cannot make the switch. Some people like myself are forced to eat healthy because of illness. I have Crohns Disease (which by the way comes from drinking cow's milk/eating dairy products). I took the doctor's pills for 2 years after the initial diagnosis. Then I learned what is healthy and what is not, changed to a healthy diet, and was able to stop taking all pills. If I continue to eat healthy there is no need to take any pills whatsoever for Crohns. (The only "pill"
