*Hydrogen Peroxide 35% Food Grade Benefits*


Hydrogen Peroxide 35% food grade is some powerful stuff. Many households have the 3% peroxide used for scrapes and burns etc which is a diluted version of this powerful clear substance. Ive used it for years for many things. Before I discuss some of the wonderful benefits of using 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide I first want to NOTE: Food Grade Hydrogen peroxide can cause burns, be extremely dangerous, and even fatal if  it is not diluted properly. Be sure to dilute with water, use proper doses, and not just use alone. 


Lets discuss all the amazing ways hydrogen peroxide can be used.

* Water purifier-  
If you dont have a alkaline or distilled water filter add 3 drops to a 8oz glass of water, stir, and wait 3-5 mins before drinking. NOTE: Only 35% food grade is recommend for internal use (It has a strong taste if you add to much so dont yes I have and learned my lesson haha)

*Helps fight bacteria on your skin that cause acne- 
(Needs to be diluted to 3% so mix 1 ounce part 35% hydrogen peroxide added to 11 ounces water = 3% hydrogen peroxide, or you can use the already premixed 3% that you purchase from store) Where ever there is bacteria or fungus on your skin surface and below when you apply the hydrogen peroxide it turns white. Don't be alarmed as long as it is diluted properly the white will fade away. This is actually a great sign means its cleaning and bringing oxygen to the skin helping to fight off acne, blackheads, pimples, micro-organisms etc. I usually apply this right after I wash my face, I let it sit for 3-5 mins then apply a toner and moisturizer. If you have really bad acne feel free to add this to your daily routine at least once a day. 

*Purify Your Bath Water- 
Add 1-2 ounces to help kill bacteria and purify your water.

*Fruit and Veggie Wash- 
Add 1 ounce to a quart of distilled water and spray on your produce (Fruits &Veggies) You can make your own pesticide by making this solution. So easy yet very effective. It works

*Disinfectant/Sanitizing - 
You could literally swap bleach which is filled with very toxic chlorine to this all natural very potent solution. Add 1 ounce of peroxide to a quart of distilled water. Use to clean your counter tops, bath tub, sink etc. ( Note: Add vinegar to the solution to kill germs such as  salmonella, E-coli etc. 

*Makeup Brush Sanitizer- 
So anything that you place on your skin constantly will house germs and bacteria. Be sure to soak your makeup brushes (after you wash them) in the 3% solution once a week.

*Phone Cleaner-
Yes your phone is filled with a ton of germs from daily use and from constantly talking and placing it up to your ear. Take the 3% solution and clean everyday if not a few times a week.

*Toothpaste- 
Yes it works and will leave your teeth/ mouth feeling extra clean. Use baking soda and 3% peroxide mix until it forms a tooth paste texture and use. I actually use the 3% diluted version directly on my tooth brush and use. Your mouth will be foamy haha just rinse after you finish. My teeth always feel super plaque-free ahhhh! Also soak your tooth brush after which will help keep it free of nasty germs.

*Mouthwash-  
This stuff is seriously amazing so many uses. Mix 20 drops to a 4 oz. glass of water. Or use 3% ,Gargle and DONT swallow.

*Decontaminate Meat/Fish-  
For those who eat meat it is very smart to clean your poultry before consumption. Add 1 ounce to quart of distilled water. Spray and let sit for 3-5 mins and rinse.
 

* Purify your Pets water-  
Add 2-3 drops per quart of drinking water. Its important to make sure your pets are nice and healthy too.

*Athletes foot- 
 Having a foot problem yup this will help solve that too. Amazing stuff simply add 1 ounce to a quart of distilled water, spray your feet and the inside of your shoes constantly!

*Whiten Clothes- (use instead of bleach)-  
You can pour directly on a blood stain let sit then rinse. Add 1 cup to  washer.

*Natural Douche- 
For those who choose to douche this is a much healthier alternative/formula than the vinegar filled douche solutions out on the market today(the chemical filled douche solutions actually do more harm than good to the vagina). If you have regular yeast infections try using 2 capfuls of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with distilled water once a week.  (note: I am not a doctor just giving information so please be sure to check with your health care provider and also do your own research)

*Glass Cleaner- 
Spray 3% peroxide on your mirrors/ glass tables for streak free no smear surface.

*Wound Care- 
Soak infections for 5 minutes in 3% to help clean and help stop bleeding quicker

*Djehuty Ma'at-ra Full Body Detox Review*

Many people may ask what's the point of doing a full body cleanse/detox? Its vital that we take care of our bodies from inside out. Many times we just eat and do what ever we want and don't think about the long term consequences.  When you detox the body it will help with the removal of impurities from the blood Read Here. I suggest doing a cleanse/detox AT LEAST once a year, I say the more the merrier haha. I will definitely do this cleanse again in a few months. As humans living on earth today we are exposed to a ton of harmful chemicals, toxins, bacteria, growth hormones (GMO), airborne pathogens, acid base foods, stress and so much more. Doing a full body cleanse helps to rid your body of the toxic (JUNK) that is backed up in your system from over the years. Our bodies are screaming for help and this shows with the various illnesses, skin conditions, obesity, and disease.
So what exactly does this detox do? How does it help your body?? Why is it so important?

Detoxifying your body helps to rid the body of poisons. This detox will help to drive out mucus, old build up fecal matter (it works), and tons of toxic waste. Its so important to cleanse your intestines and entire body of old nasty waste and create a healthy thriving environment inside your body. When your body is in a healthy state it is easier for the body to fight off illness no one likes being sick.

Djehuty Ma'at-ra Full body detox is a 3 week cleansing regimen that will focus on purifying all your major organs.  The formula's are super potent, all the ingredients are listed on the product information sheet, directions of how and when to use, it is all natural, and you can take the capsules. This was a plus for me because taking liquid formulation's are often hard especially when they are gross lol, I was happy that I had the option to choose between liquid or the capsule formula. You can order the detox on sale now at Purchase Here I will discuss each formula briefly. 

**Formula #1 Blood and Lymphatic Formula: 
Helps to cleanse, detoxify, and rebuild your blood. Yes you need this, your blood is your life. Most outer skin conditions is a way of the body telling you your blood needs help and is toxic.

**Formula #2 Cardiovascular formula:
This formula helps to enhance the circulation in the body and nourish and tone the heart.



**Formula #3 Liver and Gall Bladder Formula
Rebuilds and detoxifies the liver/gallbladder helping to strengthen and nourish it. 

**Formula#4 Lungs Cleanser
This formula helps to nourish, strengthen, and rebuild the lung and respiratory tract.

**Formula #5 Kidneys Bladder Adrenal Cleanser
This formula helps to cleanse, tone, nourish and rebuild the bladder, gallbladder, urinary tract, kidneys etc. Super potent and highly effective.

**Formula #6 Colon Formula (Heads up it works and will flush your system)
Helps to get a non active colon moving again and helps push the toxic waste from your body this formula also helps drive out worms and parasites. (Eww yes the body has worms in it especially if you consume meat that's why its so important to cleanse from inside out ekkk)


Formula#7 Activated Charcoal
This formula is amazing when it comes to helping to create a alkaline internal body. It literally removes toxic residues and neutralize our systems.

(note its black & will turn your water black. It looks like something you don't want to drink hahah) I promise its tasteless. It took me staring at my black water for 5 minutes before I took a sip. I was scared of the look lol. To my surprise I couldn't taste it at all. Toward the end it may feel a little gritty just add more water if that happens. I used a paper cup because the charcoal semi stains.

After the detox I felt amazing and had energy out of this world. I am already a super happy bubbly person but the day after everyone kept saying you have so much energy today hahaha. I feel amazing and I also lost 2 pounds. I could have lost way more however I am already naturally tiny so I didn't cleanse to lose weight, I only wanted to get my body in a optimum state of health. I had to eat like 5 times a day because I have very high metabolism and can lose weight quick. When you are eating foods that your body can actually recognize your digestive system will process them quicker. The first few days you may feel like you are hungry every couple hours this is normal. Pre-plan your meals and make meal plan, this will be a great benefit and help keep you on track. During the cleanse it is recommended that you do a RAW FOOD diet Read Here. This will help get you the best results while on the cleanse because raw foods are pure and more nourishing to the body. Absolutely stay away from processed junk food, fast food, fried foods, meats etc while on the detox. I will be honest it was challenging to do complete raw food. It takes discipline but it felt so good after. I am use to doing the vegan diet so to go for 3 weeks no cooked foods was amazing and this has helped encourage me to include more and more raw foods and less cooked foods in my diet. My God-Sister is currently taking the full body detox and lost 5 pounds in 5 days. Thats amazing and she wants to lose weight, what better way to lose weight than to do a all natural cleanse. Happy Full Body Cleansing!
Here is a clip of Djehuty speaking about his herbal formula and what exactly you are taking and the importance of the cleanse. Watch Here

*RAW ZUCCHINI PASTA*

I was so surprised to find out that raw living foods actually taste good. I have made this raw spaghetti pasta a few times and it taste so rich and flavorful. Its amazing to me that you can create foods that are actually beneficial for your body but make them taste similar to the unhealthy foods we so often eat. This is a simple recipe, doesn't take long to make, loaded with health benefits Read Here, and can last a few days if you make a large batch. Now that's a win win.

What you need for the Spagetti Pasta:
A raw pasta maker I used paderno its only like 30$ and works great Order Here
Organic Zucchini's or Cucumbers (Zucchini has a better taste better in my opinion)

The  Organic Pasta Sauce:
5-6 Sundried Tomatoes (I used pre-soaked in olive oil if you used un-soaked soak in water for 5mins then add 2 teaspoons of olive oil if you are using unsoaked sundried tomatoes)
8-10 cherry tomatoes
1/2 a red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon of himalayan salt
1 or 2 crushed garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne (for a more spicy sauce)
1 teaspoon of basil
1 teaspoon of oregano



 Directions: Shred you zucchini using the pasta vegetable slicer. Cut the ends off zucchini and cut in half then place one by one on slicer. You can peel the skin or shred with the skin on its completely up to you.

Place your raw pasta in a bowl
Next place all your pasta sauce ingredients in a food processor

After you have your pasta and pasta sauce, combine the two and mix together.

If you want a warm salsa feel free to warm on stove for 1minutes or less and cover. (I didn't heat mine but some people prefer a warm sauce.


Enjoy your Raw Spaghetti Pasta :-)
