Trace minerals: Fact: we are all deficient in trace minerals. Chemical and electrical processes are occurring in your body at every moment. These processes only function correctly if the proper balance of minerals is continually being supplied to your system. For example, Iron for your blood, Sulfur for your muscles, calcium for your bones. Ideally, minerals should come from eating raw and traditionally prepared foods. However, even eating a completely raw food diet isn’t enough since researchers have proven that soils are depleted of minerals. Mineral deficiency can be the root of many diseases.

Drink on an empty stomach first thing in the morning for a boost of energy given to your kids in water or a small amount of juice.

What you drink : Pure spirits. Some alcohols have a lot more toxic by-products from fermentation than others. They are, in order from best to worst: Vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey, other distilled spirits, dry cider, dry champagne, dry white wine (hello bloat!), white wines (more bloat!), red wines, dessert wines, beer. Charcoal can also be used for stomach flu and other sicknesses as it is a purgative. At first sign of stomach upset take a few and it can cut sickness time!
What you do:
Hydrate heavily by drinking a glass of water (extra points for mineral water) for every serving of alcohol you consume – ideally at the same time or right after. Before you can eliminate toxins, your body dilutes them with water so they don’t harm you on the way out. The water either comes from your tissues or water you drink – so drink water.
What you take :
(Critical) Block the conversion of alcohol into aldehyde, the most hangover causing metabolite that also causes very fast ageing, wrinkles, etc. Before each drink, take one Vitamin C capsule.
Last and Key Step:
Mop Up Take 4 capsules of Activated Charcoal after you’re done drinking (or if you choose beer or wine, take 1 capsule with each drink).
