Would you feed your children gas?

So the journey of a little girl who came from the loving arms of parents who supported her every whim, to the strong independent woman and mother who felt she had done all her homework to find the keys to health to give her and her family the best possible choices for eating and being healthy. To now the empowered mother who has been able to strip away the layers of film that have been applied to her over the years, is not the story you expect to hear.
Imagine this: As an only child, of divorced working parents I was often alone after school. Left to my own devices I would frequently eat three bowls of Trix or Captain Crunch. I remember after the second bowl how full I felt but I continued to the next bowl. I was addicted to the sugar, chemicals and synthesized additives. It gets worse.
I became a very good baker by the age of 13. I would make pies and eat sthingys full of shortening straight. Looking back on that experience now makes me sick but maybe it makes sense. Maybe it takes going that far to come this far.
In January of 2007, at 42 years old and a self professed health and nutrition nut, I found myself sick with respiratory viruses. I had been experiencing this for the past few years and could no longer contribute it to having small children as my kids are now 8 and 16. This puzzled me because I felt like I had a very good diet. I ate mostly vegetarian, wholesome seemingly “natural” foods. We all know by now that diet is the cornerstone of health. I was also very active and used holistic and natural healing methods for over 18 years.
So how is it that by March of 2007 I was as sick as I had ever been before searching for a more answers to that elusive health key? I was soon to find it in the form of a dear friend acquainted me with Yerba Mate and the health benefits this little plant can provide.
I drank it every day throughout the day and I regained my health quickly and effortlessly, but a funny thing happened on the way to recovery. Not only was I nourished with 191 anti-oxidants and over 50 vitamins and minerals but I began to detoxify my body to levels I had not ever experienced with any other herb or treatment. I was even able to stop drinking coffee: the only “vice” I felt like I had that I was very attached/addicted to. As I began to shed the layers of toxins in my body with Mate as the catalyst for cleansing, my eyesight and education increased.
Now here is the part that I implore you to pay attention to: I started reading labels every day at my local “natural foods store” and realized that petroleum chemicals are packed into almost every food, drink, shampoo, home cleaning products in the store, not to mention the chemical laden air we breathe. This awakening made me thirst for knowledge and I embarked on reading research frenzy for information on chemical compounds added into foods and the dangers they present. The more I learned the more I continued to drink the Yerba Mate because it cleansed me of the toxins I had accumulated over many years of thinking I was eating healthy. Before this journey began I felt I was doing very well in my desire to provide my children with the best food choices possible. I was in for a shock when it became apparent from reading the labels of even the “organic” foods were not what they were masquerading as. Even “natural” foods or flavorings can be made from natural gas! That’s right I said gas: petro-chemicals. It was right about here I started to get mad. Mad as a mama cat!
This heightened awareness brought on by my own body and its cleansed state made it possible for me to begin to see, smell and taste the chemicals in everything I consumed and purchased. There are no 100% chemical free choices. I was no longer okay with “sort of eating well” and could feel the difference in my attitude, health and energy which fueled my quest. The only thing that continued to detoxify and shield my body from the onslaught of toxins was Yerba Mate. In a sea of choices for the average American there is not a better choice to nourish, fortify, strengthen and cleanse the body of dangerous toxins. I know because for the past 10 years I have tried every new cleansing system, program and diet. The layers of petro-chemicals continued to leave my body. Each day it was like another veil had been lifted and I could no longer consent to a pseudo chemical free diet. As a mother I was enraged at the lies we consumers were being sthingy fed.
It was at this time I turned to my family and asked for them to also drink Yerba Mate. My daughter who is sixteen had started to drink with her friends “energy” drinks with enough chemicals and drugs to kill a horse. I know that our children and being drugged by the soft drink and fast food industries and I am here to offer the same wonderful plant, Yerba Mate as a solution for this problem. Energy drinks can be made with Yerba mate instead of chemicals that essentially act in the body just like methamphetamines, only legal. My son who is eight loves to drink Yerba Mate and I saw a huge difference in his attention span and behavior. I also started making food that was 100% chemical free for my family. I know that if more mothers understood how toxic and lethal these drinks and 98% of the food we feed our children are, they would band together to support an alternative. I beg you all, mothers, fathers, grandparents, students, teachers and lawmakers to stand for our future generations and help them to cleanse so they may awaken to a brighter, clearer, healthier way of life, full of positive events and choices.
I share my story for the sake of all beings who want to clarify their mind body and soul with healthy choices brought to you by Mother Nature not Uncle Sam, the USDA, FDA or MacDonald’s.
