Dr. Oz thinks that people have to choose between Green Drinks or his new ‘Red Drink’ with beets for healthy beverages. That’s insane, because you can enjoy both Red Drinks and Green Drinks every day. You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other!

In fact, if you blend your beets into your usual Green Smoothie; then you will get a new shade with more nutrients to start your day or get a boost in the middle of the afternoon.

Dr. Oz mentioned that beets were a good choice for improving your health and that he was switching to Red from Green… He doesn’t have to throw out the baby with the bath water. He can rotate between a Red Smoothie and a Green Smoothie during the week. He could even find time in his busy schedule to include one of each during the course of his day. Many of us drink three Smoothies every day. There’s no law in the land of Oz that tells you that you can only have one a day.

Real Green Tea…imagine that…Dr. Oz is finally convinced that the traditional tea with thousands of years of solid proof behind its consumption in the East has actual benefits. Sometimes he sounds so smug… But at least he is coming around and getting his head on straight! It’s no wonder that the Healers in the East perceive Western Medical doctors as novices who are only beginning to touch the hem of the garment…

Do NOT take Chromium alone. It doesn’t matter what Dr. Oz tells you, you need all of your trace minerals daily to know genuine Well-Being. If you want to ensure that you have sufficient levels of Chromium as well as the rest of the minerals from a supplement, then Liquid Ionic Minerals is your answer. All of the major and trace minerals are represented and present for your ultimate health… There are many fine sources of Chromium in whole foods which will support your metabolism. I will leave it to you to conduct a Google Search…

Dr. Oz acts like no one understands the humble egg. Those of us who live close to the earth on the land actually raise chickens and eat our hen’s eggs. The source of your eggs is extremely important. Know your hens and be exact when it comes to selecting free range eggs. Not all eggs are created equal to each other… The way you prepare your eggs matters just as much! You can’t just slather fried eggs with butter and hollandaise sauce while slurping up the yolk with buttered toast and expect it to be a healthy choice for breakfast.

Eggs are like the perfect little complete package designed to join yolk and white to generate life. Poaching and soft-boiled eggs with sea salt do make a nice pairing when combined with whole grains and vegetables in the morning or any time of the day. I could go on and on about the methods for preparing healthy eggs, but that can wait for another day. Gomasio is one of my personal favorites when I want to season my scrambled eggs which have been colored with cilantro, garlic, and scallions. If you want to experience a new way to serve your poached egg, just break open your baked garlic mochi and spread a little Tofutti spread inside and then place your poached egg on top and sprinkle sea salt over it to get your crunchy, chewy, and soft breakfast treat.

I wondered why I dreamed a long dream sequence with Dr. Oz last night until I saw the segment with his children. It was sweet to see his family on the show, even if they revealed some secrets that the father might have preferred to have kept within the family. His short temper, his impatience, his rushing when driving, his competitive gaming, and a few other traits that you would hope that the children can tolerate until he becomes a saint. He is a doctor after all… He’s allowed to be what he is! But the children were brave for appearing and peering into their father’s personality.

Maybe Dr. Oz can try the new Hemphoria beverage that is touted to be a source for peace and happiness. Just a thought! If he realizes that the family is willing to risk his wrath at the revelations on national TV about his shortcomings; then perhaps he has the grace to change in the way he interacts with them for the benefit of the family…
