I pee standing up!

October 4th, 2009

i-peestandingup.com DO YOU?

TRUE STORY: When I was 16, I was squatting to pee in the woods and I fell down. Guess what I landed in…yup – poison ivy. Guess where I got it – yup… the worst imaginable spot and the worst imaginable case of poison ivy. It made a vaginal yeast infection seem like a walk in the park!

You can imagine how delighted I was to find this little device that ensures I WILL NEVER HAVE TO DISROBE AND SQUAT TO PEE EVER AGAIN!!!!

Now you might think this is only convenient for urinating outside, and while it is TERRIFIC for that – either with a skirt or pants (stay tuned for a photo of me using it with pants) it has lots of other uses too:

  • dirty gas station bathrooms
  • airplane bathrooms
  • porta-potties at concerts, festivals, street fairs, sports events, etc.
  • hiking and other outdoor sports, of course
  • marathon running and skiing!
  • traveling to other countries with sub-standard bathrooms
  • your “back to nature” friends who don’t have indoor plumbing
  • can’t find a bathroom? guys can pee behind a bush, now you can too!
Female urinating device lasts forever!

Female urinating device lasts forever!

My Honey, Justin, and I live on a farm in rural West Virginia (solar, organic, isolated) and we use composting toilets. We have found that if you DON’T pee in the composting “bucket” and cover your poop thoroughly with sawdust, there is no smell.

Justin installed a funnel type urinal for him to use, but it just didn’t work for my anatomy.

So began my search to find a way to pee that was easier than a female bedpan thing or plastic container, without going outside!

Now I pee, standing up, with my GoGirl female urination device,  right into his funnel. He thought I was the best before, but this really cinches the deal!!

Impress your boyfriend! Tickle your husband’s fancy! Pave the way for your daughters!!

Made from medical grade, soft silicone, the GoGirl lasts forever
and squishes up small to fit in your

  • pocket
  • purse
  • backpack
  • glove compartment
  • boyfriend’s pocket if you’re wearing a dress!

My boyfriend loves it! He thinks I’m so cool and cutting edge (well, he thought I was anyway)!! After use, I rinse it, dry it and put it back in the bag – I am giving away a free little drawstring cloth carry bag with every purchase of a Go-Girl.

i-Pee in a bag, free with your order!

Cloth bag FREE with order of GoGirl female urinating device!

If it’s not dried all the way, it can dry out through the bag. When there is no water available from a sink or a water bottle, I simply dry it with a tissue and rinse it when I can later. You can also wash it in the dishwasher!

This is the next best thing to sliced bread! It would make a good stocking stuffer, bachelorette party gift, mother’s day gift and of course birthday gift! Everyone I’ve given them to LOVED the idea of peeing standing up! Hey, get one and send me your photos – I’ll post them!! You go girl!!

Instructions are included, and it’s easy to learn to use it. You press it against your body and it makes a rather good seal. It takes practice a few times, but then you’re a pro and pee anywhere, anytime – standing up!!!

You may already have an iPod and an iPhone, now all you need to say is I pee with a Go-Girl!! Get a discount on THREE Go-Girls!

Heart Attacks Happen – Be Informed & Be Ready

September 13th, 2009

My mother passed away, calmly, on July 4th about 6 PM, at 81 years young. My mother did aerobics and weight lifting 5 days a week, played Mah Jong 2 nights, and packed up a suitcase and 4 gallons of ionized water and went to spend the weekend with her boyfriend  30 minutes away, on the beach in Florida. My mother lived a very full life. She was calm, as she had accepted that her death was her own fault. It was, and still is, a tragedy.

Mom ate pretty well, drank 2-3 quarts of ionized water a day, along with her coffee and daily glass of red wine, and, with all her exercise, she was “in pretty good shape for an ol’ lady” she used to say! Mom also swallowed LOTS of vitamins with breakfast, lunch and dinner. She took Chlorella & Spirulina and, although she didn’t care for “green drinks” she did take the powder in capsule form.

My Mom, Gert Marks

My Mom, Gert Marks

All this, and my mother was on NO medication other than something for osteoporosis and some homeopathic formula for pain in her slightly osteo-arthritic ankle. She did have a lung condition “Pulmonary Fibrosis”, which generally means death within 5 years after diagnosis, as the medical community can do nothing to halt this disease.

Mom seemed to have this beat with the ionized water – she amazed the lung doctors and defied the medical books! In her mid to late 70s, although her older brother and younger sister had already died from this disease, mom halted the progress AND THEN  increased her lung capacity by 16 ounces! This is UNHEARD of in a woman her age – not only halting the disease but increasing lung capacity by that much! The only thing different she had been doing was drinking the high-alkaline (your lungs are mostly water). Although she still had Pulmonary Fibrosis, her coughing and mucus production was greatly reduced, her x-rays showed the disease was not progressing, and, the doctors were astounded. I had taken her to a highly esteemed specialist at the Univ. of Miami Hospital (Dr. Marilyn Glassberg), who was interested in doing a study with the ionized water in her clinic but was so busy with patients, she never had the time.

Mom’s blood pressure was great, cholesterol was great, eyes, heart, blood – she kept up with all the periodic tests.

So what went wrong? Two things. First, somehow, there was an undetected build-up of plaque in ONE artery (the rest were perfectly clear), and, when Mom felt discomfort sometime late at night, she shrugged it off – until she realized she was in trouble and drove HERSELF to the hospital 6:50 in the morning.

She waited too long! Mom had heart attack information in three different places in her Florida condo describing the symptoms, instructions NOT to drive yourself, and, don’t wait. If you get to the hospital within 3 hours of symptoms starting, you have a much better chance. This was a fatal error for my mother.

They put a stent in, opened the artery and said she’d be in ICU for 2 days and probably have more energy than before! (We could hardly keep up with her as it was!) But then they realized how long she had waited – five hours? Six? Seven? More? The one artery that had plaque was 100% closed, while the rest were absolutely clear – they don’t usually see this – there is usually at least one other artery compromised. Despite the severity of the heart attack and having waited too long, they thought she still had a chance to recover, since she was in such great shape.

Unfortunately, although Mom’s organs and systems slowly came back, over the 12 days she spent in cardiac ICU her lungs could not recover from the damage due to the heart attack and therefore the lungs would not transmit the oxygen to her blood. The lung specialists all assured me this was from damage due to the heart attack, and had nothing to do with the Pulmonary Fibrosis! After 12 long days, and in good spirits, the doctor told us there was nothing more to do and the end would come soon. Mom knew she had waited too long and actually did this to herself, saying with her cute expression, “What was, was.” She was ready to go home to die. Yes, a nightmare and very surreal.

She also said, “It was fun while it lasted!” and I implore you, you who are reading this, to remember some of what my mother believed – life is for the living, so have fun, despite the curves life might throw at you. And, “Laugh. It doesn’t do any good to cry.”

Please continue reading below and feel free to download this page: Heart Attack Symptoms  from our Resource Center and print out and give to those you love – you might save their life by them getting help sooner, rather than later. It turns out many women experience heart attack symptoms different than men, and, MANY PEOPLE WAIT TOO LONG!!
Heart-Attack-SymptomsI print this on bright orange paper, so the folks I give it to will always remember the orange paper on their fridge, in their wallet, or both!

If you are reading this an either have Pulmonary Fibrosis or know someone who does, please share this article and ionized water with them. You just might save a life!

Himalayan Crystal Salt Solé (so-lay)

June 17th, 2009

urparamount-sole1Salt is as essential as water. We could not survive without water or salt. All the properties of salt that relate to our body are closely connected to water, because the crucial properties of salt, biochemically as well as biophysically, only exist in combination with water, and remember, we are mostly water – 70%!

This is very special salt.  This pink is hand-mined 5,000 feet under the earth from deposits of salt that are 250 million years old. The salt was crystallized over the millennia due to the immense pressure.  This crystallization captured the energy needed to dehydrate the primordial sea and it is this measurable energy that is released from the salt when it is dissolved in water.  The same way we know there is energy inherent in Quartz crystals, there is energy in this pressurized crystal salt.  This energy frequency matches the frequency in our healthy body, so it helps to “re-tune” and energize if the frequency is deficient.

The mixture of water and crystal salt, called “Solé” (so-lay) is the most flexible physical representation of pure solar and light energy. The word solé, is derived from the Latin word “sol”, which means sun. Solé is nothing but the fluid materialization of sunlight. Solé means fluid sunlight or fluid light energy. In water, the salt crystals release 84 minerals which are in almost the exact ratio  as the 84 minerals in our bodies since we supposedly came from this ancient primordial sea.  The minerals are also in their ionized form, which is the form our bodies recognize and can use, much as the ionized minerals in foods and .  In addition, this salt is qualitatively different than other sea salt, even pink sea salt, which is gathered at or near the earth’s surface and is not “crystalline” in structure. While these salts do have extraordinary mineral content, it does not always match our bodies’ profile, nor are these minerals in ionized form which means they are too coarse for absorption.

To use, you put the Himalayan Crystal Salt “rocks”  in a small glass jar or cup  and cover it with good quality water* (see note at end). If the rock does not totally dissolve, then you have the 26% solé solution, meaning the water cannot hold any more salt.  This solé is anti-bacterial, so you do not need to keep it in the refrigerator, and it will not go bad.  Use one teaspoon (not a metal spoon – use wood, porcelain or glass) first thing in the morning followed by at least 16 ounces of water to jump-start your day and “tune” your frequency.  This solé, salt water brine, is unquestionably the energy matrix in which life begins, develops and subsists. Remember, our tears, blood and lymph are all salty!

As you use up the water, simply re-fill your jar and the rock will give up more of its salt to the solution.  Replace the rock when all that’s left are pinkish specs, which are minerals that are too coarse to be of use.  BEWARE there are many brands of “pink salt” being sold as Himalayan Crystal Salt, but not all are – some are just “pink” salt from other places, some are actually “rock salt” from near the surface or from inferior mines. The salt we sell is certified to be the exact salt that has been extensively researched and documented to contain these life giving properties.

The human body needs only as little as .2g of salt per day. Rather, we tend to use too much salt than too little. As opposed to refined table salt, you can use Himalayan crystal salt more freely because of its holistic properties which make it easy for the body to assimilate. With the recommended one teaspoon of Himalayan crystal salt solé every morning, you are not only receiving the biophysical aspect of the salt, which is the frequency pattern of the crystal salt, but also the biochemical aspect of the salt, containing sufficient minerals and trace elements. The body will hold the frequency pattern of the crystal salt solé for 24 hours. Therefore, we only take the solé once per day on an empty stomach. Plus, the solé can neutralize your body’s acid alkaline balance, normalize blood pressure and dissolve toxins. Patients on Dialysis, or with high blood pressure, should generally use very little salt and follow the advice of their doctor.

People actually go down into these mines for the benefits of absorbing the unique energy, and ailments are cured.  Different grinds of salt are available:  rock crystals, pebbles or fine table salt, as well as bath crystals and salt inhalers for lung issues. For more information please call me, Tina Rappaport 561-291-9780.

*The best water to use for Solé is high pH ionized water (from a ), next best would be filtered tap water, then good quality bottled water such as Fiji, Zephyrhills, Whole Foods 365, Deer Park or supermarket “Spring” water.  Do NOT use Dannon Spring water, Poland Springs, Smart Water, Vitamin Water, Dasani or Aquafina – these are acidic waters and detrimental to your health.  Click here to get your free comprehensive and convenient Bottled Water pH Pocket Chart.

portable-rife-machine-smOne last comment. It has been found to help the electrical frequencies open up when using a Rife machine, as the frequency generator, also known as a Rife machine, matches the frequencies of diseased cells and pathogens to cause them to implode. As we know we are an electrical body, running on water and salt, so it is good to use some salt (Himalayan Crystal Salt, of course) before a Rife treatment, and, certainly to drink lots of water before and after this detoxifying treatment.

Do you like the “Seeds” on Everything Bagels?

June 17th, 2009

Well, I certainly do, but I don’t want to eat bagels!! So, I mixed up my own Everything Mix, and here it is! It’s good sprinkled on bread, veggies, my Kermit Sandwiches, and even ground up in “Tina’s Better Butters”! Watch for the upcoming blog on my “butter” recipes that aren’t butter!

Simply mix together and put in a shaker/pourer bottle from some old spices. I’ve given quantities by “parts” so you can make as much or as little as you want, and alter to your taste.

BEST IF ALL ORGANIC, OF COURSE:
1 Tbs. Caraway Seeds
2 Tbs.  Poppy Seeds
2 Tbs. Sesame Seeds
1 Tbs. Garlic Powder
1 Tbs. Onion Powder
2 tsp.

Kermit Sandwiches anyone?

June 17th, 2009

Tina's Kermit SandwichesIn speaking with some of you, I’ve mentioned these Kermit Sandwiches, as they are, by far, my favorite  food! They are simple and healthy

Sprouted Hemp Bread (French Meadow Bakery)
Ripe Avocado
Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil or Hemp Oil
Scallions, Onions, Red Onions or RAW Garlic!
Ripe Tomatoes
Tina’s Everything Mix (see next post) or Fresh Cilantro, if available
Sprouts (Alfalfa, Clover, Broccoli, Onion, etc)
OR Romaine Lettuce Leaves
(see below)

I start by toasting the bread to add some nice crunch, drizzle on oil (we need a couple of tablespoons a day, so here’s a good way to get some), scoop out the avocado and mash onto the bread and sprinkle on the salt. If you’re using “Everything Mix” or chopped Cilantro add it now, spread minced onions or garlic, top with thick slices of tomatoes, sprinkle with more salt. Last, add either the sprouts or romaine lettuce leaves (or both!) as the top of the “sandwich”. Don’t be fooled by substitutes – the toasted Hemp Bread MAKES this sandwich!! And, I don’t like pepper, but sprinkle it on if you do! These Kermit Sandwiches (named because they’re so green) go great with cut-up cucumbers, celery, snap peas and carrots, all sprinkled with Himalayan Crystal Salt and a glass of Yerba Mate tea with vanilla and stevia!

URparamount's Himalayan Crystal SaltHimalayan Crystal Salt from 5,000 feet under the surface of the earth is quite different than surface sea salts or other mined salts. Very briefly, it is a true crystal and possesses the same frequency as our body. PLUS, it contains the same 84 minerals that we have in almost the exact proportions we need/have.  PLUS it’s in the ionic state so our body can utilize these minerals.  It is believed that the Himalayan Crystal Salt is THE primordial sea that we came out of, hence the nearly perfect mineral match! This salt is the dehydrated sea, possessing the sun’s power in its crystals. Table salt, like all processed foods, is an aberration from the natural salts and is to be avoided.

We need salt to function – remember, our tears, blood and lymph is salty!! We need salt to make hydrochloric acid in our stomachs for digestion! It seems we optimally need about 1/4 teaspoon per quart of water per day. We are an electrical being, running on salt and water. Do some homework on all this, and for a good read, get Salt: A World History, by Mark Kurlansky (order it from my left sidebar link to Amazon). Fascinating how the world’s history, from earliest times, can be linked to the pursuit of salt!

Although it’s not on my site yet, I do sell Himalayan Crystal Salt at $6.50 per pound for either the fine table grind, the pebbles for grinding or the rocks for making Sole (pronounced Soul-Ay) to give you an electrical energy boost. Read about Sole here! I sell the bulk salt in baggies, rather than fancy packages or jars. Email me if you’re interested.

Water Ionizer Electrode Plates: Mesh or Solid?

May 1st, 2009

I’ve been getting this question more often lately, and I thought I’d address it here, publicly. Both types of plates are a titanium base coated with platinum. A lesser quality plate is merely sprayed with platinum, and I won’t address those here. Let’s talk about the electrode plates that are coated with platinum, not sprayed, because these are in the ionizer brands I carry.

The water I carry have both types of plates. The Aquifer, Affinity and Odyssey are made by Yi-Shan in Taiwan and all have large, solid titanium electrode plates coated with platinum. Yi-Shan has been making water for over 30 years, and due to the extreme durability of these “heavy duty” electrode plates, we are seeing life spans of 15-20 years with these machines, above the more usual 10-15 year life span.

Mesh electrode plates are rather new to the market. A titanium plate is stamped to create the mesh, with dips and valleys then coated with platinum. The platinum layer is thinner, making it possibly less durable and less expensive to make than solid electrode plates. Jupiter water ionizers, like the Orion and Delphi, use this type of electrode plates.

The two brands of water ionizers were tested against each other for quality of output using a machine from each company with five electrode plates. The pH and ORP tested the same, so in terms of water ionizing ability, there is basically no difference. The difference may lie in the longevity of the electrode plates (the expensive part of the ionizer due to the platinum).

Of course you, the consumer, cannot determine the durability or longevity until time passes. Please remember there is much competition, therefore much hype in the water ionizer world these days as in “new technology” and “more electrode plates” being promoted vigorously. Many “ionizer review” websites have popped up – ultimately they are owned by someone selling ionizers – most likely the one that got the most favorable review. For those of us who know how, it’s no big deal to make a new website!

When comparing water ionizers, take into consideration the type of plates along with all the other features, and, try to cut through the hype and marketing ploys. Read more about shopping for a water ionizer.

Swine Flu Epidemic – Not Me! Protect Yourself!

April 27th, 2009

The Swine Flu is being reported in worldwide media and everyone is worried. Of course it will get worse before it gets better, and, some say the Swine Flu Epidemic will get very, very much worse.

Am I worried about Swine Flu? Am I worried about any flu? No, I’m not even worried about a cold!

You might wonder why, and I’m going to give you a brief rundown of my “health” regimen. In 1997 (the last time I was sick) I had bronchitis for 3 months. I willingly took every drug the doctors threw at me to try and shake it, but it took 3 months. I swore I’d never get sick again, and I haven’t.

Over the past 12 years I’ve refined my diet to be at least 50% raw (nuts, seeds, lots of veggies, small amount of fruits, sprouted & dehydrated foods). The other 50% consists of lightly steamed veggies, whole grains and the occasional homemade pizza (shh!) and even ice cream once in a while! Oh yeah, and I do drink red wine a couple times a month. That’s the basic diet.

However, there are some other healthy things I ingest daily. First what I don’t ingest is soda, juices, carbonated or bottled waters, processed foods, meats and dairy. These things are acidic, and I’ve studied and learned that acidity allows germs – viruses, bacteria, fungus – to take hold and multiply inside you. They thrive on acidity, and create additional acidity from their waste products! Read My Story, particularly the part about my swollen knee for proof there is not only fungus amongus, but fungus IN us!

This theory of disease, that germs are already in us, but it is the health of your internal system that allows them to take hold, or not, was also supported by Louis Pasteur, the notable 19th century French chemist and microbiologist best known for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of disease. He recanted his famous germ theory of disease (microbes invade us and make us sick, therefore you need pharmaceuticals) on his deathbed. His popular germ theory was officially accepted and became the basis of Western medicine in the late 19th century, and the rest is history. His rival at the time, Dr. Antoine Bechamp, a genius in the field of science, was less well connected to the wealthy and those in politics, so HIS theory is what Pasteur, on his deathbed, admitted was correct, stating, “The microbe is nothing. The terrain is everything.”

It therefore stands to reason that the swine flu virus (or other pathogen) does not CAUSE disease, but rather seeks out an environment where it can thrive best, and that is in oxygen-deprived, acidic bodies. Disease cannot thrive in a well-oxygenated, alkaline environment. Therefore, the best defense against microbes, germs, harmful bacteria and viruses, such as the swine flu virus, is to keep the body alkaline and oxygenated.This enables the body to cure itself of virtually all diseases ranging from influenza to cancer, AIDS, heart disease, asthma, diabetes, arthritis and more.

The philosophy of the alkaline diet (briefly) is that the body must maintain a pH balance of 7.365 in the blood and other cells. In the same way that it has to maintain your body temperature within a certain range – your body will also do whatever it takes to maintain that pH balance. To neutralize acids consumed, our body buffers with alkaline reserves. However, with the modern Western diet this buffer is always very quickly exhausted, and the body has to draw alkaline minerals (magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium – principally) from wherever it can to keep our blood pH at 7.365. As stated earlier, when we consume too much acid and exhaust our alkaline buffers, our body is constantly being overloaded with acid build-up. Because the blood pH is so sensitive, a slight drop in the blood level, like to 7.2, gives a person the “condition” called Acidosis. Read more in “Your Body & pH articles…

Back to my lifestyle, in addition to being mostly vegan (a bit of cheese & fish a couple times a month), I believe in chlorophyll, good salt, good oils, and most importantly of all, good water.

I’ll address these each briefly:

  • CHLOROPHYLL: Veggies of course, predominately dark colored, and lots of broccoli. I also take Chlorella & Spirulina every day and you can read more about it here and in the articles on my site. Chlorophyll oxegenates your blood, plus these foods are alkalizing, and disease cannot live in an oxygenated, alkaline environment. Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Otto Warburg, in the 1930s(!), led us to the knowledge that cancer lives in a low oxygen environment like most bacteria. Every time Dr. Warburg lowered the oxygen level by 35% in a healthy cell, it became cancerous. Cancer needs a low oxygen environment to survive, as do other pathogens. Basically 99% of the time, a terminal cancer victims body is a thousand time more acidic than normal. This environment causes a low or no oxygen environment in which cancer and disease thrives.
  • Good SALT: Our body runs on water and salt, necessary for our electrical pathways. NOT ordinary table salt which is processed and the cause of all the “low-salt” diet hype, but good salt. I use only freely on all my food, and as a “Sole” as well. Although this is not up on my site yet, I sell this salt for $6.50/lb in fine granulated, small pebbles for grinding and larger rocks for making Sole. Do your research, then write me if you’re interested. Look up benefits, and, Salt Sole. You’ll find this salt’s mineral content almost exactly matches ours, as does the vibrational frequency of the salt. Other sea salts cannot match this Crystal Salt from 5,000 feet under the surface of the earth.
  • Good OILS: We need good oils for good functioning of all our body’s systems. Not the cheap stuff folks, sorry. Good oils like unrefined cold-pressed coconut oil, extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil, flax seed oil, hemp seed oil, fish oils and lots of fresh raw avocados!
  • Good WATER: By far, without a doubt, the most important part of a healthy diet plan! I won’t go on about the benefits of high-alkaline because you can read all about on my site and in lots of articles, but, since we are mostly water, it is essential to drink lots and good quality. Certainly the water from a , in my opinion, is the best and has done wonders for me.

All these components, together, keep me healthy. I haven’t been sick at all in 12 years. I believe my body is alkaline and running well so that it WILL NOT support the virus causing Swine Flu, any flu or cold virus. And maybe I’ll live to 120!

It takes work, and a bit of money, but these components can be yours, and you can be on the road to being healthy, staying healthy and avoiding Swine Flu!
