HEXAGONTAL WATER MACHINE NOW AVAILABLE
You can order the Vitalizer Plus
hexagontal water machine from
www.doctorparthenia.com website and use Pay
Pal. This water machine restructures,
alkalinizes, oxygenates, and adds minerals to
the water. Hexagontal water has six functions:
1.
It hydrates the cells because the
molecules are smaller than regular water which
allows it to go straight to vital organs and
rejuvenate them immediately;
2.
helps transport nutrients to
cells because it is hexagontal shaped and so are
cells
3.
enhances waste removal from cells
4.
supports the immune system
5.
improves cellular communication
6.
enhances metabolic efficiency
Dr. Emoto, who wrote Messages
From Water tested water from this machine
and found that it produces perfectly hexagontal
water that stays structured for up to 21 days.
This machine is compact enough to
sit on the kitchen counter, looks like a blender
and produces a half gallon of hexagontal water
in 9 minutes. It comes with a mineral filter
that needs to be changed after 4,000 minutes of
use. Replacement filters are $70. The machine
is $495, which is the lowest price that the
manufacturer allows; it retails for $685.
Students will not be charged tax. See
Newsletter #3 for more information on hexagontal
water or go to
www.doctorparthenia.com.
Grapefruit Cellulite Reduction Cocktail
3 large grapefruits (pink)
1 large orange
1 medium Ponderosa lemon or 2 regular lemons
4 Feijoa (pineapple guava) or 1 cup of fresh
pineapple juice
Slice all fruits in half and process through a
citrus juicer. Feijoas are scarce in most areas
of North America. If you cannot find them, add
1 cup of fresh pineapple juice instead. This is
a great drink for cellulite reduction. Fast on
this drink for three days and see miracles
happen. Serves 4
WHY BEANS, WHITE POTATOES,
AND CEREAL GRAINS ARE BAD FOR YOU
The following information is also from David
Wolfe’s book Eating for Beauty, Appendix
B: Non Beautifying Plant Foods
The following are plant foods that David Wolf’s
research reveals disfavors beauty:
BEANS:
The Pythagoreans and Egyptians abstained from
eating beans. They held beans to be unclean.
Beans (legumes) contain coarse, irritating
proteins that cause inflammation. Beans
(including peanuts) naturally contain a host of
alkaloid toxins. These protect the beans from
animals that would eat them in the wild.
Several of these compounds are toxic cyanogens,
such as cyanide (found in wild lima beans). Raw
beans and peas also contain hemagglutins
(causing the blood to clump up) as well as
substances that inhibit the digestion of
protein. Raw fava beans are very toxic,
containing vicine, covicine, and isouramil.
Some individuals cannot break down these toxins
at all. These toxins inhibit red blood cells
from delivering oxygen to the rest of the body,
bringing on headaches, dizziness, nausea,
vomiting, severe abdominal pain, and fever. Raw
peanuts are typically contaminated with
aflatoxin, a harmful fungus. Though these
toxins are mostly destroyed by cooking, their
presence indicates beans are not a natural food
for human consumption. Soy beans are the least
coarse of the beans. They contain more fat,
relative to protein. However, soy oils (e.g.
partially hydrogenated soybean oil) have an
anti-thyroid effect that slows down the thyroid,
leading to a slower metabolism and weight gain.
Note: I know a lot of you love your beans and
are not about to give them up; I just wanted you
to know why you get gas when you eat beans and
why you gain weight when you eat them. I had an
interesting experience with them over the
Christmas Holidays, when I was at a Spa in
Texas. I ran out of raw food (they are really
into their meat and cooked food in Texas). The
only choices I had on the menu at the restaurant
in the spa were beans and rice, (I was told they
were cooked without meat) a Ceasar Salad (with
anchovies in the dressing which I could not eat)
or grilled cheese, which I ate once and had them
grill it with a corn tortilla and no oil. I
gained five pounds in one week from eating small
amounts of beans and rice and one grilled
cheese. The issue is always: what are you
willing to give up to be beautiful? It’s a no
brainer for me. My answer is: whatever it
takes.
POTATOES:
Potatoes are a nightshade family food which
contain various types of toxins. Some
nightshade species, such as datura (jimson
weed), are deadly if eaten. Baked potatoes are
not only very sugary/starchy and fattening, they
also contain the irritating alkaloid toxins
solanine and chaconine, which affect the
nerves. Solanine is most present in the eyes
and sprouted portions of the potato, yet is also
found in the skin and throughout the root in
lighter concentrations.
CEREAL GRAINS
Many cereal grain seeds (such as wheat berries)
are so hybridized that they contain too much
gluten. Gluten is an irritating inflammatory
substance that can actually burn the sensitive
lining of the intestines. Products made from
wheat seeds (bread, pasta) can actually cause
our face to become puffy. These products, like
other starchy carbohydrates (baked potato), tend
to make our skin pale and pasty in appearance.
When I quit eating all wheat products the pain
from my fibromyalgia went away. I avoid all
wheat products as much as possible.
WEIGHT LOSS NEWS FROM MEMBERS:
Last week I reported that April Morales was
doing the Master Cleanse, also known as the
Lemonaid Fast. She did it for seven days and
lost 13 pounds. She looks fabulous and told me
she feels even better. I reminded her that she
will gain the weight back and will start to feel
bad again if she returns to her old ways of
eating. April told me that she accepts that she
has taken this on as a lifestyle change. Even
her husband did the fast for three days.
Ideally, we should do a liquid fast at least one
day a week to give our bodies a break from
digesting food, which takes up a lot of energy
that it could be using to heal what is wrong
with us or to make adjustments to our health.
Augie, one of Mission College’s mechanical
maintenance men has lost 30 pounds since
watching my DVD. He did it without the detox
over a two month period. Augie has ordered one
of the Hexagontal Water Machines to supplement
his new life style so that he can rejuvenate his
body inside and out.
Ivan lost 15 pounds last month without even
doing the detox, which he just started. He is
looking forward to more rapid weight loss with
the detoxes. He also reports that the girls are
really noticing him. Ivan commented that he
doesn’t know what he will look like when he gets
to the proper weight for his height, but he
can’t wait to find out!

RECENT OUTINGS:
OUR TRIP TO GLEN IVY HOT SPRINGS
Nine of us carpooled to Corona
and spent the day at Glen Ivy Hot Springs. We
arrived around 1 o’clock and left when it closed
at 7 p.m. As we were leaving, Yvette commented
that it felt like we had been on a vacation and
we all agreed. The place looked like a tropical
island with exotic plants, birds, waterfalls and
mountains. Everything is sparkling new, in
pristine condition, and the service is first
rate.
Their prices are already so
discounted at $35 during the week (Mon-Thur) and
$48 on the weekends that they do not offer group
discounts; only 15% discounts to teachers, so
Christina and I got discounts. The group
agreed, however, that we definitely got more
than our money’s worth with our visit to “Club
Mud,” the hot springs, dry sauna, aroma therapy
wet sauna, and access to Café Sole, shops and
juice bars all for the price of admission.
We all opted to experience the
underground “Grotto” where we were painted with
a paste of mint green sea weed and aloe vera,
under heat lamps in a hot cave. You get green
apples and hot tea afterwards. We thought the
experience was worth the extra charge of $25.
When we first arrived, we painted
ourselves with red mud, in the mud bath, then
walked into the hot cave at Club Mud to let it
dry. We all looked like little red Indians as
we rubbed the dry mud off of our face and bodies
to exfoliate the skin.
While soaking in the sulfur hot
springs, we noticed that the minerals in the
water changed our silver jewelry different
shades of blue, purple, black and brown. But
the best part was that everyone lost their dark,
rough skin on the elbows. One of the girls lost
her guitar calluses on her hands, which she
complained about because she plays in a band,
but none of us complained about our baby soft
skin that literally glowed.
We decided that the group has to
make a trip to Glen Ivy at least once a month
and that we are all worth $48 as part of our
commitment to living The Secret, which
stresses “feeling good.” And boy did we feel
good all day long and a long time after leaving
Glen Ivy.
Personally, I have decided to
treat myself to Glen Ivy at least once a week.
Here’s why: It is the ultimate compliment to
being on a raw diet and drinking hexagontal
water. Cleansing, rejuvenating and detoxing our
inner organs with hexagontal water, feeding our
bodies whole, organic, living foods, and bathing
in hexagontal mineral hot springs is a total
health régime inside and out. Moreover, hot
springs replenish and beautify the largest organ
on the body, the skin, which of course, is the
first thing people notice. The water in hot
springs contains naturally occurring hexagontal
water, which is known for its curative
qualities.
The reason why Ponce de Leon was
looking for the “fountain” of youth is because
our bodies are 90% water at birth and intuitive,
intelligent or scientific people know that pure,
structured, hexagontal water is the elixir of
life and is the real fountain of youth. Not
only do we need to drink hexagontal water, but
we also benefit by bathing in it as well to
maintain and restore total health. I will be
going to Glen Ivy every Monday. In addition, I
will also attend the group outing once a month
on a Sunday after Agape.
Agamemnon, the leader of the
Greek armies, during the Trojan war, is said to
have brought wounded soldiers to Balcova Hot
Springs near Izmir, Turkey, known today as
“Baths of Agamemnon.”
Hot springs
and saunas work to cleanse and beautify the body
by stimulating circulation in the muscles and
skin, and by increasing internal enzymatic
activity.
The skin plays a major role in
the eliminative value of hot springs and
saunas. It is through the pores that up to 30%
of our body wastes are eliminated. This
elimination is greatly stimulated by sweating.
Perspiring is not only necessary for our health,
but it also makes our skin beautiful.
Soaking in salty hot spring
waters draws oils, fat soluble toxic minerals,
and toxic fats out of the skin. Soaking in
sulfurous hot spring waters allows the skin to
absorb the beauty mineral (sulfur) directly.
Hot spring bathing has been shown
to:
1.
improve the skin’s suppleness;
2.
aid in elastic connective tissue
and erasing wrinkles;
3.
be loaded with enzymes which
scour, clean, and nourish the skin. Natural mud
baths are particularly loaded with enzymes ...
The curative properties of mud can be ascribed
to the presence of the enzyme catalase;
4.
help to heal acne, eczema,
rashes, psoriasis, and other skin challenges;
5.
help to build strong bones and
teeth through minerals that can be absorbed
directly into the body through the skin.
THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR:
We had a really nice turn out for
The Peaceful Warrior. It was clear from
the audible reactions and responses from the
audience that they really got this movie the
first time. People laughed at Nick Nolte’s dry
sarcasm and wit throughout the film and they
clapped at the end when I asked the audience:
“What time is it?” I wasn’t sure if they had
gotten the significance of the Mayan Calendar in
the movie, but everyone answered in unison
“Now!”
When we were at Glen Ivy I asked
the group “What time is it?” and they all
shouted “Now!” The amazing part of our outing
at Glen Ivy was that everyone in the group
stayed in the moment all day, really feeling and
experiencing the joy and the newness of each
experience at Glen Ivy while remembering to stay
in an attitude of gratitude for the beauty of
our surroundings, for how affordable the
experience was and how blessed were to be with
such an harmonious, loving, and peaceful group
of people.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What about Varicose Veins and Spider Veins?
Christina wants to get rid of
varicose veins, while others would like to get
rid of red or blue spider veins. I did the
research years ago and formulated the following
combination of herbs which make up a delicious,
aromatic tea that I have now renamed Dr.
Parthenia’s Balancing Tea. It is good for
increasing circulation, hormonal balance,
balancing the whole endocrinal system, and
cleansing the liver and kidneys.
Sage (powdered)
Cloves (powdered)
Cinnamon (powdered)
Saw Palmetto Berries
Milk Thistle Seeds
Mullen Leaves and Flowers
Red Clover Tops
Cats Claw
Skull Cap
Sarsaparnia Root
Go to Herb Products on Magnolia
in N. Hollywood and purchase them in the four
ounce bags, then dump all of the bags into a big
glass or plastic jar, shake thoroughly each time
you use it, and brew in a coffee pot to make a
delicious pot of tea to sip throughout the day.
You can substitute this tea for your daily
detox. It will last for over a year. The
cloves and cinnamon will give the tea a
wonderfully fragrant taste. You may sweeten
with agave nectar, if desired, but it is not
necessary since the tea tastes great.
What Can We do About Gray Hair or Thinning Hair?
Several members of the group have
premature grey hair or thinning hair. Please
refer to my book for my hair loss and hair
thickening formula. However, David Wolfe
recommends the following in his book Eating
for Beauty.
Premature gray hair is caused by
a lack of B vitamins, a deficiency of raw fatty
acids, and trace minerals (silica, sulfur, and
copper). Dr. Ann Wigmore restored her hair from
gray back to its original color primarily by
drinking rejuvelac (the enzyme-rich,
B-vitamin-rich water left over from the process
of sprouting grains). Rejuvelac can be made at
home (see Dr. Wigmore’s books for instructions),
but is not generally available at stores. Raw
sauerkraut and kim-chi are available at stores
and they possess many of the same properties as
rejuvelac. I recommend the Rejuvenative Foods
brand found in the refrigerated section of your
natural food store. (Wolfe 84)
I personally have not tried this
formula yet, but I will pick up Dr. Ann
Wigmore’s book this weekend and start making my
own rejuvelac.
I started graying prematurely at
28 and used the formula in the book Life
Extension which did, in fact, get rid of my
gray hair in a few short months. It stayed away
as long as I continued to use the formula but
came back a few months after I stopped. It was
a lot of pills to take, but it definitely
worked. The formula is available in the book
Life Extension. I loaned out my copy of
the book, but you can go to
www.lifeextension.com
to order your own copy or pick it up at GNC,
Whole Foods,
amazon.com, etc. Everyone should own a copy
of that book anyway. It’s time for me to order
another copy. I will include the formula in an
upcoming copy of the newsletter for all of the
lazy readers out there.
I can also attest to the Chinese
herb Shou Wu for thinning and gray hair. It
made my hair noticeably thicker within four
months. It should be taken three times a day,
but I only take it once a day and my hair still
became a lot thicker, so I’m thinking that if I
just start taking it as directed, it will also
reverse the gray hair. It is NOT expensive;
only about $3 a bottle and is to be taken in
conjunction with the Chinese herb Liu Wei Di
Huang Wan for the kidneys. It’s the same price
and should be taken three times a day as well.
I have just begun to take it as directed and
will report on the results in three months for
gray hair, since I already know that it works
for thickening the hair.
NEWS
DR. PARTHENIA WILL BE GIVING DEEKSHA
AT ALL SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS:
Since I returned from India in January of 2006,
I have been giving Deeksha (a non denominational
transference of energy, grace, or oneness) once
a month on the new moon. By popular demand, I
will now be offering deeksha weekly at all of
the meetings to those who want it.
In the movie The Peaceful Warrior, Joy
gave heart deeksha to Dan. When he asked her if
she shouldn’t be healing his broken leg, she
commented “I don’t think that’s the only thing
that was broken.” After she gave him heart
deeksha, Dan’s heart chakra opened up and his
whole paradigm shifted. The more deeksha one
gives and the more deeksha one receives, the
more the frontal lobe and the heart opens up.
Deeksha automatically quiets the chatter we are
used to hearing from the ego because it opens up
the frontal lobe (third eye) and the heart
chakras to receive energy directly. Deeksha
is also known as “healing hands” or “laying on
of hands,” and was practiced by Christ and his
disciples.
BROWN RICE SOLUBLES aka TOCOTRINOS
NOW AVAILABLE AT SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS
Rachel, the chef at CRU orders a lot of her food
products from David Wolfe and has a wholesale
account with him. The brown rice solubles, also
known as tocotrinols (which are rich in 100
vitamins and minerals and is as good a source of
Vitamin E as wheat germ and tastes better) that
Erewhon sells is the brand distributed by David
Wolfe’s company. She is ordering a dozen
bottles of it for the group. I told her to add
10% to the wholesale price for her trouble and
the group will still be able to get the
tocotrinols for $27-30, which is still cheaper
than the $37 charged at Erewhon, depending on
what Rachel charges. Plus, the group will save
tax, gas and time. It will be available, along
with the Coral Min calcium, at weekly meetings.
DR. PARTHENIA’S PAPERBACK BOOK
AND DVD NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE:
You can now order a paperback version of the
book (the same one available at Pleasantville in
Pasadena) and the DVD online for $19.95 each
plus $4.05 shipping and receive it in 2-3 days
priority mail. You can save $5 by ordering both
the book and DVD together.
