10. Use Herbs and Supplements

Tumeric has been recommended for the treatment of cancer. There are ways to improve the effect. Add Pepper, and some fat or oil. I have found that using Coconut Cream with Tumeric, Ginger and black pepper, with other ingredients in a smoothie is a good way to have it. Start out with small quantities of each, with banana’s or berries until you get used to it.

I use about 2 cm of Cucumber, 2 Teaspoons of dried Kale, 2 Teaspoons of Tumeric, 1 Teaspoon of Ginger, 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon, 20 grinds of black pepper (having said that the pepper grinder isn’t very good) 2 teaspoons of ground linseed, 2 teaspoons of sunflower seeds, and half a dozen activated almonds, with about 100mls of Coconut cream and topped up with coconut water to 500mls total in a blender. This is seriously textured but seems to be very good for me, giving me a lot of the minerals and vitamins I need along with the Tumeric and Ginger. I try and make sure I have this 4-5 times a week. Often I have half mid morning and the other half mid afternoon.

In Winter, I have been having my herbs and spices in my morning porridge, a tspn of Tumeric, Ginger and Cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg, linseed, sunflower and chia seeds, with some Goji berries. Superfood porridge.

I personally don’t use enough garlic, I need to find a way to add it to my diet easily. Doesn’t go well in a smoothie or granola as I once found when I mistakenly added garlic that looked like sesame seed by mistake.

In Wellington NZ we have a store Moore Wilsons, where you can buy the above ingredients in bulk at very reasonable prices.
