Spa Body Wrap to Lose Inches and Detox

I lost 2 inches around my belly with the Spa Body Wrap

Now you can experience the slimming, cleansing, detoxifying and exfoliating properties of the Spa Body Wrap in the privacy of your own home. Reduce cellulite and lose several inches in about an hour! This Hollywood Celebrity secret has prepared many actors to look their best on camera.

We will be discussing the natural wonders of sea clay, activated charcoal and other ingredients in the Spa Body Wrap. The secret to the Spa Body Wrap system is in the absorbent volcanic clay called Bentonite, along with the detoxifying properties of activated charcoal, and the collagen production properties of Tripeptide-1. You may order the Spa Body Wrap at http://www.Spa-Body-Wrap.com

Begin by measuring the areas you are going to wrap with the tape measure included in the system. If you are doing a full body wrap, measure your thighs, arms, belly and buttocks, and write the numbers down. Some people like to mark the area on the skin being measured, to insure that the tape measure is used in the exact same spot after the treatment. 

I like to begin with a really hot bath or shower, and scrub the body well with the exfoliating loofah. Don’t use soap, just use hot water to open the pores, and the loofah to scrub the skin and remove dead skin cells.

The body contouring sea clay mixture can be applied with your hands or with a medium paint brush. Apply it thick enough so that when it dries you will not be able to see the skin, but not so thick that it clumps up, about 1/8th of an inch.

Benonite clay is made up of tiny platelets, with positive electrical charges on their edges, and negative charges on their flat surfaces. When benonite clay adsorbs water and swells up, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge. Toxins are drawn into these spaces through electrical attraction and bound. The clay’s strong drawing powers help your body detox through the pores of the skin. Benonite clay can draw out and adsorb pathogenic viruses, herbicides and pesticides, heavy metals, poisons, and can remove swelling and inflammation from insect stings and bites.

Next, soak the bandages in warm water, then wrap the area with the elastic cotton wrapping bandages included in the kit help to lift and shape the body and iron out any bulge. Don’t wrap tight enough to cut off the circulation, just tight enough to make you look a little thinner. Wrap the entire area using even pressure, and overlapping each preceding layer by about 2 inches. When you get to the end of your first bandage it will Velcro to itself. After you have finished wrapping, cover with a robe or towels, and relax for an hour, allowing the system to do its work. 

Another ingredient in the Body Contouring Sea Clay is Tripeptide-1, a peptide that contains three amino acids - glycine, histidine and lysine. It specifically helps to increase collagen production in skin cells when applied topically.

My favorite ingredient in the sea clay is Activated Charcoal. Charcoal was used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans as a medical treatment. Activated charcoal can be used to treat acne, rashes, bruises, poison ivy and other skin problems. Activated charcoal will draw toxins, bacteria or poisons through the skin, removing them from the body. Each charcoal grain looks like a sponge or volcanic rock, with thousands of tiny holes. These holes soak up toxins, allowing them to be removed from the body.

Much of the slimming effect of the Spa Body Wrap comes from the removal of toxins.  The Sea Clay contains over 70 minerals that cleanse and purge the body of toxins stored between fat cells known as adipocytes. Toxins stored in between adipocytes can inhibit weight loss by causing cellular stress. Toxins also contribute to cellulite, stretch marks and other unsightly blemishes in the skin. Many spas recommend doing a treatment at least once a month to cleanse the skin and body, and to make the slimming effect last longer. 

After allowing the sea clay to dry completely, remove the bandages and shower to remove the clay. The bandages can be machine washed and reused. Take out the tape measure and the areas that were treated. Be sure to measure in the same spot as before the treatment. When adding up the inches lost, many people experience from 6-20 total inches! I personally lost 2 inches around my belly on my first wrap, however I am a vegan and don't drink, smoke or eat much junk food, so I had less toxins to lose than many people will. Although some of this is water weight, much of it is because of the toxins removed. Your skin will feel soft, smooth and super clean!

Now you are ready to dress up and show off your slimmer, sexy body. You feel great, knowing that you have done something good for your health and your love life. When that special someone sees the slimmer, younger looking you, thank the Spa Body Wrap for making your love life a little more exciting.

A summer camp for obese children

Waterfall in Yosemite Valley
DennisDavisPhotography.com

I was a dirt poor, obese, gay kid with few friends. The one thing I looked forward to more than anything else when I was growing up was going to Yosemite and going to Camp Wawona summer camp. Most of those camps were for one week, but that was plenty of time to change a kid’s life. We had swimming, hiking, archery, water skiing, crafts and taking care of live animals in the nature center. We were so broke the church had to pay our way sometimes, but I went every summer for ten years.

I would love to help a charity put on a summer camp for obese children. The best way to teach a child about a new diet is to put them in a controlled environment, and feed them healthy food, and help them have fun with outdoor exercise. As you know from the name of my blog, if it were my charity I would feed these kids a vegan diet with very low sugar. Hey, it’s my dream, and I can dream it any way I wish! I would teach them songs around the campfire that will instill health principles in their head forever.

So steal my idea, and start one! We could use 50 of them. As I was a poor, gay, obese kid, I think it would be cool to offer at least one or two weeks of the camp for gay obese kids. Maybe they would need to have all kinds of medical and professional people there to monitor them; I am not sure what would be required. I do know that lots of them will come hating themselves, and leave with new friends and new hope for a better life.

On a low sugar, vegan diet, an obese child might lose 10 pounds in week, or 20 or 30 in a month, when combined with climbing mountains, swimming or volleyball every day. I enjoyed feeding the animals in the nature center, and was able to take care of a Rosy Boa for a week, which is why today I am not afraid of snakes.

Church was under the trees in the “church bowl”, and night time church looking up at the stars was awesome! But the nightly campfires were my favorite. The camp would bring in missionaries, who would tell stories of Africa, China, or the Philippines, and the children were spell bound. I was so impressed with the guys playing guitar that I later took guitar lessons from one of the guitarists from the camp, and that’s why I play guitar today. Climbing a ½ mile uphill 4 times a day just to go to your cabin to get something can really work off the calories!

This is a really big idea, but it could be a great blessing to lots of overweight kids. Childhood obesity is increasing.

Facts:

•  Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years.
• The percentage of children aged 6–11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 20% in 2008. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12–19 years who were obese increased from 5% to 18% over the same period.
• In 2008, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Are You Eating Your Friends?

Your friend's sister? Food Photography

Have you ever twisted off the head of a chicken, or chopped its head off with an axe, and watched the blood spray out? What does that have to do with the Grilled Chicken Sandwich you just had for lunch? Is the death of bird and the meat in your pasta even associated in your mind, or do you even give it a thought?

I grew up in a farming area in central California, near Modesto. My uncle had a large farm near us with cows, chickens, ducks, sheep, a horse or two, pigs and lots of pets. I learned to milk cows when I was 10 or so, and helped my cousins feed the chickens and ducks. I would go into the hen house and get the eggs, and there would always be baby chicks to play with. I loved baby chicks, so fluffy and yellow, so soft to put up next to my face. I would name them silly things like Earl or Fluffy Buffy, and they would follow me around the barnyard begging for food and referring to my clothing choices as “cheap, cheap, cheap!”

The first time my cousin killed one of my baby chick's parents, I was perhaps 9. My sister and I were asked to help chase down one of the hens and help him catch it, and then help him hold it by the legs while he chopped the head off with an axe. That chicken struggled and squirmed and pecked, it did not want to die. He raised the axe, and dropped it on the neck, and blood sprayed all over me, but the axe had only gone half way through as it was dull. The chicken’s feet had sharp claws, and it scratched me, with its neck spraying blood all over me. He chopped again, and the head came off completely. “Let it go!” he commanded, and I turned it loose. The hen ran around the yard without her head for what seemed like several minutes, spraying blood as she ran. At the end, he picked her body up and began plucking the feathers out, asking if I wanted to help. I could not.

That night, she was served on a beautiful platter with onions, tomatoes, potatoes and rosemary. All of my cousins enjoyed the meal, but I could not eat her. Could you? No? Perhaps you just ate her grandson!

About a year later age 10, the ducks we kept in our back yard hatched out about 7 ducklings. I picked out one with a very orange bill, green eyes and a very quacky mouth and called him “Yacky Doodle”. Yacky Doodle followed me everywhere in the house, and would sit on my lap while I watched TV. I had to clean up a little poop on the floor, but I loved my pet baby duck more than any pet I have had since. I put him on the chair next to me when I ate, and gave him food off my plate. I slept with Yacky Doodle, and hugged him close to my face and kissed him each night.

One night I kiss Yacky goodnight, and forgot to put him in his box on the floor. Yacky went to sleep next to me, and I rolled over in my sleep and squashed him flat. I never felt anything, but the next morning I was crying to “make Yacky Doodle wake up, momma, please!” Is that why when I go to my favorite Thai restaurant and order spicy stir-fried cashew nut vegetables, I order the vegan “Mock Duck” on the menu instead of fried “Yacky Doodle” real duck right next to it? I think it does, although my vegan lifestyle started this time as a desire to lose weight and become healthier, I think my love for animals makes it very difficult for me to eat them.

I am too kind, tender-hearted and gentle to eat anything with a face, and yes, I am gay. Many football watching, beer drinking, deer hunting, gun toting “macho men” would call me a “sissy,” and tell me I could never survive in the dog-eat-dog, kill or get killed real world. “If I was stranded in the forest with nothing to eat, I would eat my own child if that’s what it took to survive” one carnivorous friend told me after watching a movie about airplane crash survivors eating each other.

I on the other hand, do not eat my pets, friends, family or business clients. I choose all animals as my friends. Some animals may choose to eat me, but I choose not to eat them.

My youth on a California farm also taught me to recognize the difference between “organic” farming practices and “factory farms”. Cows raised on “organic” farms get to eat real grass. Chickens get to scratch in the dirt outside instead of being confined to a cage. In contrast, a factory farm animal lives in its own waste; it walks in feces, licks it off of its legs and feet, and stands and sleeps in poop. They are confined to cages or stalls, and fed hormones and antibiotics to keep them fat and producing eggs, milk and meat.

We have many diseases in common with chickens and cows, such as flu, cancer, or even mad cow disease. When antibiotics are put into the animal’s food, any virus or bacteria they have become resistant to those antibiotics over time. When you eat the meat, eggs or milk, those antibiotic – resistant virus and bacteria are introduced into your body. When you get sick and go to the doctor, she gives you the same antibiotic that was in the animal’s feed. You take the medicine, but you don’t get well. You could die from the disease before the doctor discovers why you are not responding to the antibiotics you were given.

In the documentary movie “Forks over Knives”, see http://www.forksoverknives.com/ there is a lot more information about factory farms and the reasons for becoming a vegan. People assume that the animals they eat did not suffer, and died a humane death. Watch the movie, I dare you!

Here is my challenge to every carnivore: Before you eat another grilled chicken sandwich or big Mac, go to a slaughterhouse and watch them kill a cow or chicken. Better yet, kill the animal with your own hands. Watch it die, then see if you can buy that very animal and eat it. I can’t eat anything with a face. Can you?

Walking as exercise

Walking is one of the best exercises that you can do. You always have the equipment you need, attached to your body! It is simple, requires no special clothing or gear, and gets you where you need to go.

Even if you go to the gym regularly, you can still benefit from going for a walk in the fresh air. I like to carry small weights, and lift them over my head as I walk. My partner likes to kick a soccer ball and run on the beach or in a park while I walk. He also likes to run backwards, or up and down stairs while I am walking. I like to watch, and keep walking. 

If you are in an area with lots of rain or snow, look for a place you can walk indoors at work or near home. This could be a shopping mall, gym or large building complex. You can shop and get your exercise at the same time!

I went through a period of time recently when walking was my primary source of exercise. I had two walking partners, and 5 days a week we would meet around 9 am to go for a walk on the beach bike path. This was about a 4 mile daily walk, and in Long Beach it is warm and dry enough to walk outside 95% of the year. I found that I met my neighbors along the way, and it made me feel better to perform my work. 

Let’s go for a walk!
