I rarely find something to discuss about the content on TheDoctorsTV these days; but today was an exception.

Dr, Travis, the hunk, enticed the audience with the promise of an hour of great sex. I was curious.

It turned out to be Tantra.

There was a nice lead in piece and then these doctors attempted to describe Tantric Yoga without any personal experience or direct knowledge of the practice! I laughed at their meager effort…

But Dr. Lisa was the most confused as she stumbled through a rehearsed set of concepts, key words, and images of sex and intimacy. She knows not… Yet she did make the effort and for that I want to acknowledge her.

Dr. Jim and Dr. Drew drank their Sex smoothies and they were ready. That’s the right attitude – being open and eager for an intimate moment or hour. The boys sipped through giant straws and passed the first test smiling with eyes lit up.

Tantric Yoga can go for hours and is so much deeper than sex alone. The connection and interaction is primarily spiritual for union with the divine. Most people in the West don’t grasp the full measure of that!

Sexual gratification is one aspect of Tantra. Partners facilitate the movement of energy in the human body and most humans reference that as sexual energy which attracts people to the process.

I suggest that you read more about it to better understand it. Then you will be ready to decide whether or not to experience Tantric Sex directly.

TheDoctorsTV and Tantric Sex

Just scroll down the synopsis to the bottom of the page for this segment on Tantra and sex. There is a video that has graphic material which describes the stages of generic tantric sexual methods; but you personalize it with your partner as you master the art form that is far from being as clinical as the doctors make it sound…

You can benefit from nourishment before and following your intimate encounter with this smoothie or shake. Electrolytes and trace minerals will take you further, longer, and reward you with more movement of energy. The energy you bring is of deep significance in the process of sharing and exchanging energy with a partner.

I was thrilled to see the chefs from the Food Network on Dr. Oz today!

Food is the best medicine when it comes to a healthy Lifestyle of Wellness.

Dr. Oz did well to bring these people to his stage and share them with the audience.

They let the food speak for itself and I hope there will be many more visits from these chefs to share their better recipes.

Dr. Oz and Food Network Chefs Share Healthy Recipes

Chef Todd also shared a reduced-fat recipe for Artichoke Spinach Dip which is still popular by exchanging yogurt and a few other ingredients.

you can eat well to be well…

Harley is a trainer who fancies himself an expert on the health benefits of nuts. He stated that nuts are not good snacks, because they don’t provide much protein.

Harley is hardly an expert on nuts. While those of us who do know that nuts are an excellent healthy snack are enjoying the EFAs in our jewels; we can still admire the nut for having a little protein and a lot of crunch. Not all of us restrict our snacks to those that only provide protein… That would be a silly thought in and of itself, one that Harley would entertain.

In honor of Earth Day, we want to share a source for beautiful green pistachios with you.

Braga Organic Farms Inc

These flavorful little gems take some time to open individually, yet the reward is substantial as you chew the delicious morsel.

Pistachios are wonderful in desserts like baklava, puddings, and as toppings for ice cream or yogurt. There are endless ways to use pistachios when cooking, limited only by your own creativity. They can become the crust for fish, finish off a salad, and add texture to soft foods in so many ways that it leaves you enveloped in green ideas.

There is a commercial on TV for pistachios and while some of the scenarios are ridiculous, it still brings home the point that we love our pistachios, no matter what it takes to open the shell.

Go GREEN with organic Pistachios for Earth Day!

Dr. Oz and his cohorts often make mistakes when telling you about Whole Grains.

Dr. Oz sounds like a broken record on whole wheat bread.

Chefs like Anne Burrell on the Food Network know more about whole grains than these doctors.

Today, she prepared a pork roast with a wheat berry dish to accompany it.

She has her recipe for wheat berries on her section of the Food network website and in her cookbook. You might be interested.

Wheat Berries with Mushrooms

Later today, Giada prepared a lentil loaf with brown rice as the whole grain, lentils, and vegetables that would be an ideal substitute for meatloaf.

Lentil Loaf

You’ll notice that these recipes have no bread in them…they use true whole grain goodness.

Let’s hope doctors get ‘on board’ with Whole Grains! The train has left the station.

Do not believe that the little white check leads you to whole grain goodness when it is only cereal and a marketing campaign that relies upon your ignorance to convince you that there are whole grains in that cereal box!

Bread and cereal are no longer whole grain foods…

Think like a chef, eat like a chef, and be healthier!

Dr. Oz usually finds mysticism and spiritual paths to be far too esoteric for his audience; but today he explores the Tibetan Health Secrets that may make a profound difference for people.

Dr. Oz and Tibetan Health Secrets

No one is expected to drop what they are doing and find a monastary where they can practice; but there are some things that people can add to their daily lives to find improvements in health, attitude, and a sense of well-being with the ancient traditions from Tibet, India, and China.

In fact, it’s better to implement these ideas and techniques in the course of your day-to-day activities rather than to become secluded, deluded, and depressed when enlightenment takes years and lifetimes of discipline, practice, and detachment in accord with the old ways.

The Tibetan fanfare that goes with the secret techniques tends to distract the individual who gets caught up in the number of prostrations, the chants, the lineages, the steps on the Path that may not pertain to their incarnation or disposition to bring wakefulness needs to be taken into consideration.

It’s one thing to recognize the value of sound therapy, energy movement in and around the body, and a few rites, rituals, and beliefs to improve vitality, lengthen Lifespan, and know peace within. It’s quite another to believe that the system is complete. For example, Chakra is not the correct term to use for the energy centers in the body. They are called Seals and there are seven.

Tibetan Bowls use vibration to align the energy centers of the body. It is wrong to assume that it’s a release of negative energy, instead of restoring Balance. Sound through humming, singing, listening to music, and playing an instrument can all be substituted for the bowls. Resonance is a healing method that has deep significance for human bodies.

Guess what! All of your Seals are open and functioning. What is sought is Balance within each Seal. The five rites are comparable to basic Yoga positions. Movement, food, attitude, and the environment all impact the human being. This is why It’s all about a comprehensive Lifestyle, not just 5 rites.

Fenugreek Seed Tea is something we’ve shared with you for years. Cooking with it is a little more sophisticated, but you can watch the Spice Goddess on the Food network for recipes.

The first Seal is not red. There’s so much confusion about this. Red vibratory information in foods will interact with the third Seal in visible light. All of those colors of food shared by the expert with Dr. Oz relate to the Third Seal, not all seven. This ancient knowledge was lost and confused by many and it is evident here!

It takes more study of semantics and systems of Thought to sort through all of this, but take what makes sense to you and look at the rest carefully. Don’t give your power of reason away to a belief system that was passed on to those who cannot ‘see’ the energy, but only have words to describe it like the two people today. They are neophytes in this tradition.

This episode of The Chew has to be one of those seminal moments on television when you know the value a program has to change people’s lives for the better.

The Chew crew were gathered to celebrate Earth Day which officially is observed on April 22nd. But for many of us – every day is Earth Day.

The Chew: Happy Earth Day Recipes and Creative Ideas for a Sustainable Lifestyle

Here is a group of diverse individuals from across the country who have come together for their love of food and family which now extends to the health of the planet.

Clinton was the kind of person with a background being the least likely to care so much…but care he does – deeply! I was smiling as he described a plethora of planetary tips to his audience today! He is sincere and that’s such a sign of growth and maturity to see built into an hour of content and entertainment that I am amazed at future prospects.

Daphne had a good deal to share and her contributions were appreciated to the fullest extent. Carla showed her spunky support and love for the good this does for family and friends.

Perhaps I was most surprised by Michael who knows his way around healthy sourcing of lamb and goat for his restaurants and his family table. His cultural heritage and close ties to family and food have kept him on track, even when most city chefs have compromised the quality of food in their establishments for the sake of making money. He has known and is dedicated to proving that healthy food and wealth go hand-in-hand.

Trisha Yearwood shared her love of cooking and her Food Network show by preparing a rice dish with the crew. Real people – both famous and unknown – can make a difference in the world by being true to their values.

The only person missing was Mario who was probably out planting his Arugula. Last year he gave away seeds to honor Earth Day with Martha Stewart. When we can see the entire cycle of life from soil to seed to plant to food on the table with chefs planting seeds to keep it all going; we’ve come light years ahead to begin to live a ‘Sustainable Lifestyle” as if it ALL matters!

Bravo!

We’ve seen our fair share of Smoothie recipes and here’s another one toadd to your collection.

You can never have too many variations on a theme like this…

Take note of the healthy selection of ingredients!

Dr. Oz shared his 24 hour group of ideas to end fatigue and get a person back in the energy saddle again.

Dr. Oz and His 24 Hour Fix For Fatigue

He may think that you are ready to spring into action in the morning by squatting, leaping, and encouraging circulation as you get out of bed, but be careful not to pull a muscle without warming up first.

Then he suggests the cold water mitten approach to stimulate the blood vessels. He forgot to go over breakfast foods.

Dr. Oz did get spelt in for lunch putting the grain into a salad. He showed a plastic bottle and a sprig of rosemary to use to spritz the skin; but that just goes to show you he has no earthly idea how advanced aromatherapy is. He’s trying to reinvent the wheel and is lacking a few spokes…

You can do better with a real application of the Essential Oil of Rosemary and either apply a drop to your wrist or diffuse the oil into a room. There are several oils and blends that will stimulate and invigorate you. Save the sprig of rosemary for chicken dinner!

Dr. Oz needs to have his head examined. He recommended that an herb known for overstimulating the adrenals be added to your oatmeal. Refuse to use that crutch!

One good idea was the coconut butter and oil in food preparation. He also introduced Rooibus tea. That’s not new to most of us, but his audience is about thirty years behind the times…

Gotu Kola when used properly is great, but don’t abuse it the way the doctor does. He tends to treat herbs like they are drugs and they are not! His knowledge of extracts and applications is lacking. Work on your spider veins from within first through nutrition, but don’t use an alcohol-based extract on the skin for more than a few days. Learn from your local expert Herbalist, not a doctor pulling rabbits out of his medical bag that he hasn’t raised himself.

I know he’s is trying and he means well…

You can do better and avoid the mistakes of a beginner in the holistic field of health care by tempering what Dr. Oz has to say with those who are genuine professionals trained in these Healing Arts.

Several suggestions were made about which foods are thought to contribute to preventing cancer on Dr. Oz yesterday.

Dr. Oz and Cancer-Fighting Foods

Beans contain fiber and help with the transit of material through the colon. Greens provide vital minerals and more fiber for the benefit of the digestive system. There are nutritional components in green plants that build the blood and nourish the cells in the body.

The doctor has forgotten about the power of sea vegetables like wakame, kombu, and nori. The doctor has also lost the concept of a true whole grain, but you will remember.

The seeds, nuts, legumes, beans, grains, fruits, vegetables, and all kinds of unique foods have a place in keeping you strong and healthy. When you balance your diet with herbs and spices and healthy beverages; then you will do as much as possible to prevent cancer.

While Dr. Oz can give you a quick glimpse into which foods are best, there’s a whole Lifestyle to take into consideration, including the quality of water you drink and the air you breathe.

Cocktails are becoming increasingly popular thanks to the experts who have learned to use unique ingredients in mixed drinks and specialty spirits.

Martha featured some of these herbs used in cocktails while she planted seeds with her expert guest who built a bed for herbs used in culinary applications.

Martha Features Drinks with Herbs

The ideas for drinks with herbs can be used for holidays or every day when you want something refreshing and healthy. These are nicely paired with sandwiches or salads for light spring fare.
