Great Warm Turkey, Mushroom, Onion in GHGF Espresso Red Wine Sauce and Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad



This was a great warm turkey mushroom sauce over salad mix, strawberries, pineapple, tomatoes. Plus the exact amount of extra sauce left on the plate for mopping up with Ezekiel Bread.

I could see this becoming a local restaurant lunch favorite and top seller. It probably has a hard cost of about $2.50 with grilled turkey. It drops to about $1.50  using chicken thigh meat. 

I cut up a 4 ounce piece of pre-grilled turkey, added cup sliced mushrooms and 2 thick slices of red onion cut up in a small frying pan.  I added 2 or 3 tablespoons of Good Housekeeping Good Food Espresso Red Wine Sauce, 1/2 cup water, and some Bolthouse Classic Balsamic Viangrette. Let it simmer, pour over cold salad. Wow.

It's great. Less than 400 calories, probably more like 350.

Way Out Fringe Conjecture about Oceans Sloshing From Basins This Month - The Global Coastal Event and Clif High - Web Bots



May 17, 2013 Wujo Listen HERE 

May 11, 2013 Wujo Listen HERE 

May 4, 2013 Wujo Listen HERE 

Clif High is an atheist so I discount almost everything he reports. He refers to "the Universe" as his higher power. He takes a dim view of Christians as dumb followers. Clif used to be the darling guest on every alternative Internet radio show, as well as a few mainstream shows like Coast to Coast AM, until he had a list of prediction misses/failures. Now he does his own interviews and releases them weekly called Wujo's . He's been wrong as often as he's been right.  At a 50/50 correct to miss track record, this one probably demands some attention.

This Global Coastal Event prediction has been showing up since 2003 in vast swaths of Internet linguistic mining. The idea is everyone has limited psychic abilities and somehow it oozes out in regular conversations and writings. If you can data-mine huge swaths of linguistics from the Internet you can somehow piece together all these psychic clues. So Clif's Web Bot program mines huge amounts of Internet chatter and through some magic and secret (I believe BS) programming process determines future events.

I'm monitoring all this because it's interesting when Satan's minions start screaming the sky is about to fall, or in this case, an ice shelf breaks, or a huge Pacific earthquake, or asteroid causes a huge global tsunami or this Global Coastal Event.  I believe this is suppose to happen between the 19th of May and May 25.

Keep your water wings handy. We're all going SWIMMING! Yaaaaay!


Here's more information on possible scenarios that could cause the Global Coastal Event taken from Clif High's writing a year ago:

Clif's theory as of this date (2012), is that the event seen by remote viewing, and through his web bot information, may be related to an event at the south pole which causes the ice to suddenly move or melt.

He talks about a shift in the Antarctica ice, a giant mass leaves Antarctica causing tsunamis devastating coasts up into Alaska. He thinks there would not be a long term water rise though because of the ocean being so big.

Clif says it may take up to six weeks for all the ice to move into the ocean but the first part could start the tsunami. It could be weeks that the waves take to grow higher and higher... over a number of weeks.

Pre-grilling a bunch of meat to use all week in pictures

It is so much easier to grill up a bunch of meat once or twice a week to pull from as needed.

Buy the chicken or turkey on sale or as cheap as possible either boneless or whole. The whole chicken is more work but boiling the meat left on the bones makes some of the best chipped BBQ I've ever made.

This is a pound of chicken thighs you can occasionally buy on sale at Costco for .99 a pound in Fridge to Freezer Pack. Stock up and freeze when on sale. About .25 a serving (thigh). Marinate, grill, and let it cool. Put in a plastic zip-lock bag or BPA free container.





The Costco Fridge to Freezer packs also come in Organic, as well as low sodium regular breast meat. I've bought boneless, skinless breast on sale for $1.99 a pound. About 50 cents a serving.



Butterball Turkey filets, about $4.68 a pound at Walmart. One of the few things I buy at Walmart. Marinate, grill, let it cool. Put in a plastic zip-lock bag or BPA free container.

The Top 10 Weight Loss Supplements - Dr. Nicholas Perricone

Dr. Nicholas Perricone is on my short list of people I consider brilliant. When I have the opportunity to hear him speak I stop what I'm doing and focus like a laser beam. Many of the supplements I take are because of information I've received from Perricone.  Several listed below are in my regular list (2 posts down) and several used to be and just dropped off. The problem with learning this information is the number of supplements you ultimately end up taking daily. I'm a firm believer from experience that these supplements do accelerate weight loss. Omega Days.


Dr. Nicholas Perricone

Posted: 07/08/2009

Summertime is a great time to shed excess weight. Unfortunately, as we age, it becomes harder to shed the pounds. It is easy to be envious of the beautiful 40+ stars like Sheryl Crow, Halle Berry, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Michelle Pfeiffer, Iman, Christie Brinkley and many more who are as slim and trim as their 20-something counterparts. My patients wonder how do they do it! Well, we know it is not because of a diet full of chilidogs and nachos. You have to work at it, exercise and make the right food choices.

A little help from our friends
But sometimes we need a little extra help, and here is where the right nutrients can make a difference. A young cell is characterized by its energy production, just like a young body. As we age, our physical output decreases. To this end, I have looked for methods to increase energy, naturally and safely, at the cellular level. This has led me to a number of nutrients that work in a special way to enhance the loss of body fat, preserve muscle mass and regulate levels of blood sugar and insulin -- key attributes of a healthy, young body, regardless of chronological age. They will also promote beautiful, healthy, youthful-looking skin. Here are ten of my favorites:

1. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Alpha lipoic acid, often referred to as 'the universal antioxidant," is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory found naturally inside of the energy producing portion of the cell known as the mitochondria. Alpha lipoic acid enhances our ability to metabolize food into energy. ALA is a unique antioxidant because it is both fat and water soluble. This means it can go to all parts of the cell, including the lipid (fat) portions such as the cell plasma membrane, as well as the interior of the cell (known as the cytoplasm) where water soluble chemicals reside.

2. DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol)
DMAE is a naturally occurring nutritional substance with powerful anti-inflammatory properties; it is found in fish including wild Alaskan salmon, anchovies and sardines. DMAE is important in the production of neurotransmitters, which are essential in the communication from one nerve to another and between nerves and muscles. Taking DMAE as a supplement will not only improve your cognitive function by improving memory and problem-solving ability, it will help increase skin firmness and muscle tone -- important for anyone on a weight loss or anti-aging program.

3. Glutamine
Glutamine is the body's most abundant amino acid. It plays an important role in keeping the muscles functioning properly and helps reduce muscle deterioration. Glutamine literally drives muscle-building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesized for growth. It is also converted into glucose when the body needs more energy. When the body is in a highly inflammatory state, it breaks down our muscle tissue to get the extra glutamine needed, resulting in muscle mass loss.

4. Carnitine
Carnitine and its derivative, acetyl L-carnitine, are two of the most important nutrients for weight loss. Carnitine is critical for energy formation and an active metabolism. Carnitine transports the fatty acids from our blood into the cell for this energy production. Thus, for carnitine to have optimum effect, we must have adequate essential fatty acids, such as omega 3's, present in the diet.

5. Acetyl L-carnitine
Acetyl L-carnitine acts as an antioxidant, a natural anti-inflammatory that enhances the affects of the other antioxidant systems within the body. These anti-inflammatory properties protect the cell plasma membrane (the cell's first line of defense) and prevent the conversion of arachidonic acid into pro-inflammatory chemicals. Although exercise will naturally increase our levels of acetyl L-carnitine, if we are obese, over thirty or have other health problems, it will not raise them to therapeutic levels, therefore supplementation is necessary.

6. Coenzyme Q - 10
Coenzyme Q-10, also called ubiquinone, is a powerful antioxidant/anti-inflammatory with many benefits for treating and preventing obesity. It acts similarly to acetyl L-carnitine in that it assists in energy production within the mitochondria. CoQ10 enhances the metabolism, giving us greater energy and endurance, a greater ability to lose body fat, preventing the energy decline seen in aging cells. CoQ10 also maximizes the burning of foods for fuel, helping to normalize fats in our blood.

7. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
Conjugated linoleic acid is a fatty acid found in many of the foods we eat. At one time, beef and lamb were exceptional sources; however when their diet was changed from grass to grain, levels of CLA dramatically decreased in the meat and dairy products. CLA has powerful antioxidant/anti-inflammatory activity. It decreases body fat, especially in the area of the abdomen and helps block the absorption of fat and sugar into fat cells (adipocytes). It also helps the insulin receptors remain intact, thus increasing insulin sensitivity.

8. Chromium
Because Chromium is an essential nutrient for normal sugar and fat metabolism, it is critical in our effort to control and reduce excess body fat. Chromium supplementation effectively lowers blood sugar and insulin levels and can also increase levels of the 'good' HDL cholesterol. This lowers total cholesterol and triglycerides, thus playing a key role in regulating appetite, reducing sugar cravings, and lowering body fat.

9. Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)
Gamma linolenic acid is an important omega-6 essential fatty acid. The average American diet causes a deficiency of GLA because of the large amounts of trans fatty acids, sugar, red meats and dairy products. The body rapidly converts GLA into dihomo-gamma-linoleic acid, the precursor of prostaglandin E1, a powerful anti-inflammatory hormone-like compound that helps to regulate inflammation, blood pressure, and many other bodily processes.

10. Maitake Mushroom Extract
Studies show that maitake mushroom extract enhances insulin sensitivity for controlling blood sugar levels and may serve as a safe and reliable weight loss supplement -- even without additional behavior modifications, such as decreased caloric intake and increased exercise. It is established as a powerful tool in preventing a dangerous quartet of metabolic imbalances that increase our risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes called Metabolic Syndrome. Metabolic Syndrome consists of high blood pressure, elevated levels of insulin, excess weight (especially around the abdomen), and dyslipidemialow, or low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, and high levels of triglycerides.

Major Ed Dames on C2C and Clif High Wujo - Interesting Fringe Conjecture About Kill Shots and Global Coastal Event in 2013

This is double do-woo-woo flying through the air. Will it hit the proverbial fan, or will it miss? Only time will tell. Grab the popcorn and enjoy the show. : )


What is Remote Viewing and the Kill Shot? During the top-secret Remote Viewing (RV) CIA and U.S. Army research program, trained viewers that were normally tasked with foreseeing the outcome of war related events began picking up on a future occurrence that appeared to mark a dramatic shift in global life. At first, these viewers, along with Major Ed Dames, the program's senior operations and training officer, had feared their subconscious was foreseeing nuclear war. It turns out after years of Remote Viewing sessions, the event is in fact a series of solar flares that are so devastating to the Earth, it may cause the death of billions and change life on Earth as we know it. Major Ed Dames believes the Kill Shot happens in 2013.


What is the Global Coastal Event? Web Bot is an Internet Bot computer program whose developers claim is able to predict future events by tracking keywords entered on the internet. It was developed in the late 1990s, originally to predict stock market trends. The creator of the Web Bot Project, Clif High keep the technology and algorithms largely secret and sell the predictions via the website. The Global Coastal Event appeared in Internet linguistics 10 years ago. According to this prediction something happens that causes the oceans to slosh out of their basins causing tsunamis, destruction, death, etc. Clif believes this event will happen before the end of this month, May 2013.

A 1400 Calorie Day on The Ezekiel Diet in Pictures

UPDATE:  I weighed in 2 lbs lighter this morning from the food and supplements highlighted below.

It's been a while since I've done a day on the Ezekiel Diet in pictures. I'm focusing on dropping four pounds and reduce bloating and inflammation. Most overweight people will lose a pound eating the following menu. I do. I'll probably be a pound or two lighter tomorrow. I also drank a pot of coffee and up to 80 ounces of clean water. Don't eat anything after 6 PM and you'll burn fat all night.

Many think a diet meal is a small piece of chicken or fish and a couple asparagus spears. Actually that's a misconception. This menu of groceries below is only about 1,278 calories. Certainly not starvation eating.

I roughly estimate this list of groceries at between $7 and $8 worth of food. Less than $10 a day. Summary: 8 ounces turkey $2.50, 3 slices Ezekiel Bread .75, 2 eggs .35, grapefruit .60, 2 pumpkin pie slices w cream $1.00, zucchini .75, salad and berries .75, condiments $1.00, pot of coffee .50, about $8 total.

Breakfast - 320 Calories (2 eggs, small grapefruit, Ezekiel Bread)


Mid Morning Snack -  8th slice Pumpkin Pie, Almond Crust, Stevia instead of sugar, 124 Calories


Snack -  Almonds 100 Calories


Lunch - Turkey Spinach Berry Salad w dressing Ezekiel Bread 290 Calories


Mid-Afternoon Snack -  8th slice Pumpkin Pie, Almond Crust, Stevia instead of sugar, 124 Calories


Dinner -  Turkey, Mushrooms, Onion, Merlot Wine Sauce, Grilled Zucchini and Ezekiel Bread - 320 Calories


Plus I take:

2 whole food multivitamin
2,000 to 6,000 mg Omega 3
Iodoral 12.5 mg iodine (83 times 150 mcg RDA) thyroid has to work to lose weight, the 150 mcg iodine RDA is so low it suggests a conspiracy to increase disease. Japanese routinely get 100 times US iodine RDA in their diet rich in kelp. Research it, it's important.
2,000 mg Ester C (up to 6,000 day)
Magnesium
CoQ10
2,000 mg CLA - breaks up internal visceral fat 
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
400 iu E
10,000 iu D3
Selenium
3 Apple Cider Vinegar
1 or more Allimax (garlic)
2 Green Tea Extract
2 Acai Berry
1 resveratrol
1 chromium picolinate
1 DHEA 100 mg - not to be taken continuously - too much testosterone
2 Super B Complex
1 Probiotic
1 g L Lysine
L Argenine

Everything highlighted in yellow aids weight loss and metabolism. Looks like a lot but I buy most of it online at Swanson's at some of the lowest prices possible. I get a lot of buy one get one free as well. They're rated top in 2013 by ConsumerLab.com  for an Internet Based Merchant. I get some from Costco. A few things I get at Walmart like Green Tea Extract and Acai Berry and maybe Ester C.  Very few things I get at a health food store. I get  fill-in vitamins, Real Salt, specialty sauces, KIND bars and hard to find organic stuff at the health food store.

320 Calories - Grilled Turkey, Mushroom, Onion in Merlot Wine Sauce with Grilled Zucchini and Ezekiel Bread

Weight loss meal....


This is a small 4 ounce pre-grilled turkey breast mixed with sliced white mushrooms, red onion simmered in Braswell's Merlot Wine Sauce. Two small quartered, (8 spears) grilled zucchini brushed with olive oil, sea salt and seasoning, and a slice of Ezekiel Bread.

4 oz turkey - 120 calories
1/2 cup white mushrooms - 10 calories
slice of red onion - 5 calories
3 tablespoons Braswell's Merlot Wine Sauce - 45 calories
2 small zucchini - 40 calories
brushed w olive oil - 20 calories
slice Sesame Ezekiel Bread - 80 calories

320 Calories Total

You could use 6 to 7 ounces of turkey (instead of 4 ounces) to get the meal closer to 400 calories. I always beef the meat entree up with a cup of onions and mushrooms for less than 15 extra calories. They soak up the sauce and add a lot of flavor to the meal.

Who Owns The Media? The 6 Monolithic Corporations That Control Almost Everything We Watch, Hear And Read

Most people are completely unaware of this information/entertainment cabal that's systematically bought up most of their sources of information and entertainment. Was this just coincidence, or was it a conspiracy to control your realty? This is why most people have the 'herd mentality.' They're oblivious to the fact that they're being programmed daily by these 6 monolithic corporations. Think about it. Omega Days indeed.


By Michael, on October 4th, 2010
See Article HERE

Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations  controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States.  Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations.  These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day.  They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don't even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment that they constantly ingest.  Most Americans don't really seem to care about who owns the media.  But they should.  The truth is that each of us is deeply influenced by the messages that are constantly being pounded into our heads by the mainstream media.  The average American watches 153 hours  of television a month.  In fact, most Americans begin to feel physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or listening to something.  Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands each year.      

The six corporations that collectively control U.S. media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal.  Together, the "big six" absolutely dominate news and entertainment in the United States.  But even those areas of the media that the "big six" do not completely control are becoming increasingly concentrated. For example, Clear Channel now owns over 1000 radio stations across the United States.  Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are increasingly dominating the Internet.

But it is the "big six" that are the biggest concerns.  When you control what Americans watch, hear and read you gain a great deal of control over what they think.  They don't call it "programming" for nothing. 

Back in 1983 it was bad enough that about 50 corporations dominated U.S. media.  But since that time, power over the media has rapidly become concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people....

In 1983, fifty corporations dominated most of every mass medium and the biggest media merger in history was a $340 million deal. … [I]n 1987, the fifty companies had shrunk to twenty-nine. … [I]n 1990, the twenty-nine had shrunk to twenty three. … [I]n 1997, the biggest firms numbered ten and involved the $19 billion Disney-ABC deal, at the time the biggest media merger ever. … [In 2000] AOL Time Warner’s $350 billion merged corporation [was] more than 1,000 times larger [than the biggest deal of 1983].

--Ben H. Bagdikian, The Media Monopoly, Sixth Edition, (Beacon Press, 2000), pp. xx—xxi

Today, six colossal media giants tower over all the rest.  Much of the information in the chart below comes from mediaowners.com.  The chart below reveals only a small fraction of the media outlets that these six behemoths actually own....

These gigantic media corporations do not exist to objectively tell the truth to the American people.  Rather, the primary purpose of their existence is to make money.

These gigantic media corporations are not going to do anything to threaten their relationships with their biggest advertisers (such as the largest pharmaceutical companies that literally spend billions on advertising), and one way or another these gigantic media corporations are always going to express the ideological viewpoints of their owners.

Fortunately, an increasing number of Americans are starting to wake up and are realizing that the mainstream media should not be trusted.  According to a new poll just released by Gallup , the number of Americans that have little to no trust in the mainstream media (57%) is at an all-time high.

That is one reason why we have seen the alternative media experience such rapid growth over the past few years.  The mainstream media has been losing credibility at a staggering rate, and Americans are starting to look elsewhere for the truth about what is really going on.

Do you think that anyone in the mainstream news would actually tell you that the Federal Reserve is bad for America  or that we are facing a horrific derivatives bubble  that could destroy the entire world financial system?  Do you think that anyone in the mainstream media would actually tell you the truth about the deindustrialization of America  or the truth about the voracious greed of Goldman Sachs ?

Sure there are a few courageous reporters in the mainstream media that manage to slip a few stories past their corporate bosses from time to time, but in general there is a very clear understanding that there are simply certain things that you just do not say in the mainstream news.

But Americans are becoming increasingly hungry for the truth, and they are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the dumbed down pablum that is passing as "hard hitting news" these days.
