Two Personal Testimonials about Ningxia Red

About two months ago I got my top six front teeth worked on. About a few days later I got the flu or so I thought. Chills, fever, headaches, temporary muscle aches, irritability, difficulty sleeping, weakness, nausea, diarrhea, and gas. But no one else in my household got it and when you live in a household of 7, well you kinda like to share things. Even the bad. Then I remembered that detox symptoms can mimic flu symptoms. So I was detoxing from the major dental work. At that time I had/have been under a doctors care because of liver enzyme test coming back high. They were testing to see why the the levels were high. I had asked on a online discussion board last year when two of the three tests came back high and a lady had the same issue and it was because of detoxing. Last years ultrasound of internal organs had came back all perfect and the blood work my gastroenterologist had ordered all came back fine. SO when I got my teeth worked on all the bacteria and heavy metals where being removed from my body caused the liver enzymes to spike. During that time though I was feeling really sick. It was bad enough that the dr was threatening to admit me to the hospital. Somewhere I had read that Young Living's Ningxia Red and lemon essential oils would help with detoxing and liver problems. So I started taking the Ningxia Red and a couple drops of the lemon eo and my next blood work showed the levels going down and I started feeling much better. Still need to monitor my blood work but I believed that Ningxia red helped because there was nothing else different that I was trying.

In another way that NR helped was just this past week I have been ill-cough, stuffy nose, tiredness and no energy and in the morning I upped my normal 2 oz of Ningxia Red to 4.5 oz. About an hour after I would take it I noticed I had enough energy to take a shower, get breakfast, do some quick laundry, and do a little homeschooling and blog work. I had energy while being sick. I was also taking some in the evening but figured out that was the reason I couldn't fall asleep fast like I normally would-as soon as my head hit the pillow I would be out and when I stopped taking my dose at night then I was out like a light. I just drank some in the morning for a boost to get some things done while sick.

KEY BENEFITS

~~Seven times more pure therapeutic-grade essential oil—- Carefully selected for their health and flavor profiles, the blend of orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils found in NingXia Red is packed with 93% d-limonene- a potent antioxidant and a marker for bioactivity. Along with NingXia Red’s premium flavor, these essential oils also aid in maintaining the body’s normal cellular function
~~Preferred great taste—The new NingXia Red, now Halal and Kosher certified, contains no artificial sugars and has a unique, balanced flavor profile that captures the pure essence of the Ningxia wolfberry. The natural flavor is further enhanced by zero-calorie stevia (Rebaudioside A), essential oils, plus blueberry, cherry, and aronia juice. In fact, when compared to other similar superfruit beverages in a major university study, the new NingXia Red was preferred by 77% of participants over all other options in a blind taste panel!
~~Long-lasting energy support*—Long-term use of wolfberries (Lycium barbarum) may contribute to agility, longevity, and vitality. In fact, recent studies indicate that drinks containing wolfberry exhibit longer-lasting supportive effects on energy and caloric metabolism. NingXia Red is an easy way to get pure, premium Ningxia wolfberries and experience natural, sustained support for energy without the crashes and harmful side effects of coffee or energy drinks.
~~Fortifies the body and replenishes key nutrients*—The combination of whole wolfberries—the juice, peel, seeds, and fruit—with pomegranate and plum juice delivers vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and phytonutrients. NingXia Red also contains zeaxanthin, a carotenoid suggested to enhance healthy visual function. Recent studies on the consumption of wolfberries and whole fruit juices recommend 2 to 4 ounces for optimal support.
~~Revitalizing, full-body protection*—The combination of blueberry, grape seed extract, aronia, and pomegranate—some of the world’s most antioxidant-rich fruits—helps increase the S-ORAC level more than 30% over previous formulations. These levels were independently tested and may help defend against damage caused by free radicals.

Ningxia Red Smoothie Recipe

Ningxia Red Smoothies Recipe

Ingredients:

2oz Ningxia Red
1 cup homemade yogurt
1 cup fruit-I like peaches and blueberry-the picture above was raspberries and pineapple.
2-4 oz liquid coconut oil
1 avocado
1 banana
2 drops YL lemon essential oil

Directions:

1. Melt coconut oil. I use hot tap water to run over the CO bottle. Pour into the blender. We use the Vitamix and it really pulverize the ingredients to make them more digestible.

2. Put banana and avocado into the blender and mix very well. The coconut oils will mix with the banana and avocado and will not be clumpy when adding cold ingredients.

3. Add yogurt and fruit and blend well.

4. Add the Ningxia red and lemon oil. Blend well.

5. Pour into glass containers. Must be glass as the oils will eat at the plastic.

6. ENJOY a yummy super healthy smoothie.

Lemon or Lime Cheesecake

Recipe taken from Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall. Photo mine.

Ingredients:
3 eggs-warm to room temp
1/3 c honey
1 c scd yogurt-dripped
2 c dry curd cottage cheese
2 tsp legal vanilla
lemon or lime juice (optional)***

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325*.
2. Bring ingredients up to room temp.
3. In a blender add eggs first for blades to turn freely. Then add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Mix well, stopping to scrap down sides every 15 seconds or so.
5. Grease sides of pan with butter or coconut oil so cheesecake will not stick.
6. Pour mixture in smaller pans, splitting up batter so as to not fill more then half way full. It will rise.
7. Bake for 40 mins or until tops turn a slight brown. Do not open oven during first 30 mins.
8. Take it out of oven and let it cool.
9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
10. Enjoy.

Notes: When I cooked mine I noticed the center was a little wiggly-that is perfectly fine and actually makes a nice smooth cheesecake in the center but if you overcook it, it becomes dry and crumbly.
After I let it cool, I noticed it was a little watery and just drained it.

***I actually used Young Living Lemon or Lime Essential Oil (only YL-others are not safe to ingest) to flavor it. I used 10 drops and it gave a good flavor-not too strong or weak. But do not eat the whole cheesecake in a few days because lemon is a detoxing oil and you will feel the detox effect if you eat too much of the cheesecake with the oil baked in it. :)
