This is a moment that I am having that just “came to mind”. Since I started school for massage therapy 5 years ago, I always knew that my goal would be to create a business…a brand…that when people heard the name, saw the name, they knew who it was. They knew what it stood for and what came with being a client, a customer, an employee, a member, a fan of it. The birth of Therapy by K. To this day, I have been building on the brand “Therapy by K“, adding more value and more meaning to the quality behind it. I’ve set out the find others that I can work with to help create that for Therapy by K. Whether it’s their services or wisdom, all methods are accepted!

I would like to extend my services by offering a bit of Therapy every once in a while. More often than a while…But something that will keep you branded, a chance to learn about new brands!

About half are orange carotenes: alpha, beta and gamma and half are yellow xanthophylls. They work synergistically at different sites in our body to enhance antioxidant protection. Twenty years of research proves eating beta carotene rich fruits and vegetables gives us real anti-cancer protection. Synthetic beta carotene has not always shown these benefits. Natural is better assimilated and contains the key 9-cis isomer, lacking in synthetic. As suspected, natural carotenoids in algae and vegetables have the most antioxidant and anti-cancer power.

Spirulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots. So even if you don’t eat the recommended 4 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day (most people eat only 1-2, including french fries), get your natural beta carotene insurance from spirulina to help support your body’s defenses.

60% easy-to-digest vegetable protein without the fat and cholesterol of meatPeople are eating less meat and dairy protein because they want to lower fat, cholesterol, and chemicals in their diet. Spirulina is the highest protein food with all the essential amino acids and has only a few calories to keep your waistline where you want it.

A rare essential fatty acid is a key to health
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in mother’s milk helps develop healthy babies. Studies show nutritional deficiencies can block GLA production in your body, so a good dietary source of GLA can be important. Spirulina is the only other whole food with GLA.

Iron for women and children’s health

Iron is essential to build a strong system, yet is the most common mineral deficiency. Spirulina is rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals, and is easier to absorb than iron supplements.

High in Vitamin B-12 and B Complex.

Spirulina is the highest source of B-12, essential for healthy nerves and tissue, especially for vegetarians.

Spirulina strengthens the immune system and based on those who take it, they have fewer colds and flu, or if they get a cold, they escape more chronic symptoms. They say wounds heal faster and they recover more quickly from illness. They have more energy. Spirulina is a powerful tonic for the immune system.

The following is taken from an interview with Robert Henrikson, author of the book “Earth Food Spirulina: How this remarkable blue-green algae can transform your life and our planet”, in May 1998, featured on http://www.spirulina.com/

Tocopherly acetate is used as an alternative to tocopherol (vitamin E) itself because the phenolic hydroxol group is blocked, providing a less acidic product. It is believed that the acetate is slowly hydrolyzed once it is absorbed into the skin, regenerating tocopherol and providing protection against the suns ultraviolet rays.

Phenols are a class of chemical compounds or parent compound used as an disinfectant and for chemical synthesis.

The term hydroxyl group is used to describe the functional group -OH when it is substituent in an organic compound. Organic molecules containing a hydroxyl group are known as alcohols.

So the majority of our everyday skin care products contains Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) and other things with scientific names! But do we  really know what they are…we should know what we are putting on our skin, what is going into our bodies. A lot of today’s skin care products are drowned in chemicals and synthectic stuff…is it really doing for you what you want it to and what you need it to?

DO YOU KNOW?

Serves 4

Avocado, daikon, carrots, scallions, cucumber, red bell pepper, and clover sprouts in a raw, fish-free nori roll.

4 sheets raw nori

4 large, flat collard green ( or romaine lettuce leaves)

1 1/2 cups shredded carrots

1 1/2 cups shredded daikon

1 avocado, thinly sliced

8 scallions (green parts only)

2 cups clover sprouts

1/4 cucumber, seeded and cut lengthwise into 4 long, thin slices

1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

Lay out the nori sheets on a clean, dry surface. Arrange a collard green or romaine leaf on top of each nori sheet so that it completely covers the half of the sheet that is closest to you. These leaves will prevent the vegetables from getting the nori sheet wet, which makes the nori more prone to tearing.

Place a narrow layer of the carrots along the length of each nori sheet, about 1/2 inch from the end closest to you. Top with the daikon, avocado, scallions, sprouts, cucumber, and bell peppers, keeping the ingredients in a narrow pile.

Fold the edge of the nori closest to you over the filling. Gently roll each nori away from you, tightly and evenly, into a firm, snugly wrapped roll. Seal the exposed edge of the nori to the roll by wetting it with a little pure water or Nama Shoyu.

Cut each roll into 2 pieces with a sharp, serrated knife.

And there you have it! These are awesome and fresh and this book is amazing. Credits to Matt Amsden

If you have a method of therapy that may get you through the day, that has maybe gotten you through a  medically challenging time, that you just use in everyday life, feel free to share! As well as the therapy that I know and use, I will share with all!

There is so much that I would love to share…so instead of trying to type everything that I am trying to accomplish in a box…let me start to work outside that box!

Namaste
