Six Minute Crispy Salmon

Six Minute Crispy Salmon

  • 1 – 2 Tbsp. ghee, avocado oil, olive oil, butter or other cooking fat
  • Two 6 to 8 oz., skin-on-wild-caught salmon fillets
  • Sea salt (I like the flakey stuff) and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Gomasio seasoning (Japanese sesame salt). You may also use plain sesame seeds.
  1. Thoroughly pat dry your salmon fillets with paper towels. Place on to a plate, skin side up, uncovered and place in to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour. This allows the skin to dry out and to maximize skin crispiness.
  2. Just before you are ready to cook the salmon, remove from the refrigerator and give it another little pat with the paper towels.
  3. Season the skin side of the salmon with sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Heat your oil or fat in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, carefully place the salmon into the pan skin side down. Season the non-skin side with sea salt and black pepper. Immediately press down each fillet with a flat metal spatula to keep the sides from curing up. Hold for just a few seconds.
  5. Cook for 4 minutes, skin side down.
  6. After 4 minutes, turn off the heat, flip over the fillets and let them cook another 2 minutes on the other side until you reach your desired level of done-ness. Do not overcook, but if your salmon fillets are on the thicker side, it may take an additional minute or two.
  7. Transfer the fillets, skin side up, to a plate for serving.
  8. Season with a generous shake of Gomasio.
  9. Eat immediately, and enjoy leftovers the next day.

Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad

Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad

  • 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts
  • 1 cup (3 1/2 oz.) walnuts, lightly toasted (bake at 350° F for 5-10 minutes)
  • 1/4 cup sharp Pecorino cheese, grated or crumbled (optional)
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. whole-grain mustard
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  1. Trim off any old outer leaves and woody stem ends from the Brussels sprouts.
  2. To shred the sprouts, carefully slice the sprouts thin by hand with a knife.
  3. Place the shredded Brussels sprouts into a large bowl.
  4. Crumble the toasted walnuts by hand into the bowl of shredded Brussels sprouts.
  5. Add the Pecorino cheese to the bowl.
  6. In a smaller bowl, combine the mustard with the lemon juice (use more if you prefer a stronger, more acidic dressing).
  7. While whisking the mustard and lemon juice together, pour a thin, steady drizzle of the olive oil into the bowl until the dressing reaches the desired taste and consistency.
  8. Pour the dressing over the salad.
  9. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Toss and serve.
  11. Top with fresh cracked pepper and extra Pecorino cheese, if desired.

Mercury Detox: Jeff’s Life-Changing Story

Amalgam fillings have been used for the past 150 years in conventional dentistry, but are they safe? In a word, no. These fillings are a combination of various metals, including the highly toxic heavy metal, mercury. I learned about mercury poisoning the hard way. I began having a whole host of symptoms that robbed me of the life I wanted to live, and you can learn more about my story in the 3-part series “When detox is dangerous” here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jeff Macioci, a man whose story is very similar to my own. He, too, suffered from mercurcialism, which is the medical term for mercury poisoning.

When he found me, Jeff was at death’s door–literally. But, with guidance and encouragement, he was able to start the cellular detoxification and healing process. This got him back on track in his relationships, career, and health. In fact, Jeff’s journey has inspired him to want to help others heal and avoid similar issues that arise from the toxins all-too-commonly found in our food, our environment–even our mouth. Jeff’s story is so inspiring that we wanted to share it with you so that people out there who might be going through a complicated or confusing health crisis know that help exists and true healing is possible.

Jeff’s Symptoms

Jeff recalls having a mouth full of amalgam fillings by the age of 13. Twenty years later, when he was in the peak of health at age 33, the mercury toxicity finally caught up with him. By that time, he’d already been struggling with the ups and downs of mysterious symptoms for over ten years.

The interesting thing about mercury poisoning is that it can affect so many different areas of your life. The symptoms are definitely physical, but they’re also emotional and psychological in nature. Jeff describes some of his physical symptoms: extreme fatigue, chronic digestive issues, muscular weakness, numbness in his arms and legs, ringing in his ears, buzzing on one side of his head, and extreme sensitivity to stimuli such as light, sound, and temperature.

Meanwhile, Jeff did everything he knew to try to stay healthy and heal his digestive woes. He adopted what he thought was a healthy lifestyle; he ate an organic, vegan diet and exercised often. He trained hard with boxing, lifting weights, and running marathons. And yet, all of this exercise was something his body couldn’t adapt to as long as that toxicity remained. Mercury is a known neurotoxin, so it accumulates in the brain and causes a whole host of problems.

And Jeff’s symptoms didn’t stop there. He was also experiencing mental and emotional issues like intense anxiety, social phobia, and panic attacks, along with irritability and insomnia. Jeff describes his social experience as “feeling like you’re just stepping away from everybody else, feeling like everybody is in on this inside joke and you don’t know what’s going on, really having a hard time just looking people in the eye and always feeling like everybody’s looking at me and watching me.”

This struck a chord with me, because my story with mercury toxicity was so similar. Your personality kind of turns so that you can’t look people in the eye. It’s the oddest thing and hard to describe, but the shyness wasn’t really me. It was the same way with Jeff. His relationships became troubled. “When things got tough,” Jeff explained, “I wouldn’t want to talk about situations. I was always wanting to be by myself. My mom would always say, ‘You think too much.’ She would always tell me ‘no man is an island’ because I always just wanted to be by myself…I used to be a people person.”

Seeking Help

As often happens with people who have underlying, unaddressed health issues, eventually the bottom dropped out from Jeff’s health. The emotional stress of his difficult relationships combined with the chemical stress of mercury toxicity became too much when he added the physical stress of intense exercise. He became weaker, and less able to perform as an athlete. The last straw happened after he donated blood, the final stressor that threw him over the edge.

This happens all the time. People struggling with chronic illness might have periods when they recover for a while, but it’s just an accident waiting to happen. That’s why I urge people not to wait when these symptoms show up; catch it before things get worse.

“I was literally on the brink of losing my job. I couldn’t even make it through work,” Jeff said. He felt completely overwhelmed, like he was “failing at everything.” He went to the hospital several times seeking help, and the doctors could only tell him that his physical tests were fine and that he only suffered from anxiety. In other words, they told him it was all in his head, which is the same message I was told when I went through this myself.

The doctors prescribed psychotropic drugs for Jeff, but they only barely masked one symptom from his whole, complex list of issues. This is another thing that often happens with Western medicine, even alternative medicine at times: only the symptoms are addressed. In a case like Jeff’s, even addressing his fatigue by supporting the adrenal glands and thyroid isn’t going to be enough. It’s the same with many autoimmune issues. You’ve got to get upstream, find the stressors that form the root cause, and then remove them.

Of course, until you understand the underlying cause of such disparate symptoms, this experience can be confusing and disheartening. In Jeff’s case, he was pushed nearly to the breaking point. He felt confused by his mysterious illness, cut off from his loved ones, and unable to process everyday life. “I was at the end of what I could handle,” Jeff said. He became suicidal at that point and prayed to God for help. As he told us, “I would say, ‘God help me, I’m sorry, and thank you.’ I couldn’t even get more out than that, and I think it’s beautiful that I still say that to this day because that’s all you need. I was just begging for something, begging for help. There were some nights that were so hard.”

Getting Well

It was at this point when Jeff found me. I remember lots of tear-filled conversations and praying together. Today, I am humbled by the profound changes that I see in Jeff since I’ve been guiding him through cellular detox. The PompaCore Cellular Detox® program involves three phases, and one of them is a brain phase to clear bio-accumulated neurotoxins like mercury. To put this process in perspective, I did brain phases off and on for four years. Jeff has done them cyclically for only one year, and he’s already a transformed man. He notes, “Things are coming back to me. I’m getting my life back.”

Jeff switched from a vegan diet to a diet high in healthy fats, and he began fasting intermittently. He also cut back on sugar and organic junk food. All of this has helped to restore his microbiome, which had been damaged by mercury poisoning. As Jeff explains, “Immediately what helped when I was in my worst times… was the sea salt, the minerals… to help the adrenals. I would have to say the fasting truly helped.”

In combination with proper preparation and cellular detox, Jeff also went to my dentist friend Dr. Grieco, who was able to remove his amalgam fillings properly, with all of the precautions taken, like rubber dams to prevent the reabsorption of mercury. He reports that almost immediately, the buzzing on the side of his head was gone. Jeff also had some underlying infections that needed to be reopened and cleaned. Hidden infections are another common stressor–I recently found out I had them–and many autoimmune sufferers who aren’t getting well, despite much effort, also hidden infections are triggering immune reactivity.

Another wonderful aspect of Jeff’s success with cellular healing is how his personality and emotional wellbeing have shifted. He says, “Kind of amazing going through detox here and I’m actually seeing my personality come through. That’s amazing, right? I’ll have conversations with people now and I want to be there… It’s just like, wow, this is what it’s supposed to be like! I knew that person was hiding underneath a lot of that.”

Spiritual Healing

As we’ve seen, Jeff went from a dark night of the soul and spiritual crisis to restoring his health on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. This is amazing stuff. I remember those early conversations when I was telling Jeff that God had a plan for him. It’s always hard to see that when you’re in the middle of a crisis, but look at what Jeff has now become. He’s decided to reach out and share more of his story with others.

As Jeff said to me on Cellular Healing TV, “I thank you so much for those prayers that you would say to me, that ‘God isn’t punishing you; He’s allowing you to go through this.’ Now I realize that. Now I realize that he allowed me to go through that because you don’t go through something like this and just go back to your everyday life. I’m going big… People are getting sick and there’s obviously a problem, and I’m here to help.”

Wow, how great is that? All of this really points to the power of story, the power of talking about our difficulties and not staying in the dark. We know from a scientific standpoint that when we speak about our past hurts, it’s healing. It helps us reframe the way we think about those hurts so that we can uproot the emotional trauma stored in the DNA. Literally, sharing our story is a part of the healing process, even on a scientific level.

Jeff’s story is inspiring. This is what can happen when you remove physical, chemical and emotional toxins and stressors from the body. Your whole life can turn around, and you can then use this newfound health and energy to help others turn their lives around. What a beautiful thing.

Amasai: A Guide to the Nutrient Rich Probiotic

Amasai has been getting quite a bit of attention lately, and many people are claiming it’s one of the healthiest and tastiest fermented milk products ever. Is it true? How does amasai taste? Are there any studies on its health benefits? Let’s dig into the matter.

What is Amasai?

Amasai, also called amasi or maas, is a thick fermented milk beverage traditional to South Africa and Lesotho. In general, amasai is similar to kefir or liquid yogurt but has a slightly stronger taste resembling cottage cheese. Recently, amasai has been gaining popularity in the Western world thanks to its potential as a natural probiotic with multiple health benefits.

The traditional way of preparing amasai is to store unpasteurized cow’s milk in a calabash and let it ferment for a while. After some time, the milk divides into a watery substance (whey) and soft lumps of starter amasai. The whey is drained, and fresh milk is added to the calabash. After a few hours of fermentation, snow-white lumps of delicious amasai are ready for consumption. (1)

Where Amasai Comes From

Amasai is a staple food in the traditional cuisines of South Africa, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe.

Sometimes amasai is confused with other fermented milk foods from the African continent, so here’s a quick list of essential differences:

  • The Namibian omashikwa is prepared by fermenting buttermilk instead of whole milk. (2)
  • In Kenya, milk is fermented in soot-lined calabash gourds to prepare mursik. The charcoal dust gives mursik a bluish hue and a smoky flavor in addition to its tart base. There is concern that the charcoal in mursik is a major risk factor for esophageal cancer in Kenyans. (3)
  • Kivuguto, nunu, mabisi, and aewsso are milk beverages prepared through the spontaneous fermentation of milk in Rwanda, Ghana, Zambia, and Ethiopia, respectively. (4) These are very similar to amasai in terms of production, but their taste will differ greatly due to the unique probiotic profile of each drink. 

The History of Amasai

amasai history

In South Africa, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe, preparing amasai has always been not only a matter of culinary tradition but also a convenient way to preserve the available food. After all, fermented milk products have a much longer shelf life than raw milk.

The tradition of making amasai is hundreds of years old, and modern authorities recognize it as an essential part of South African culture, lifestyle, and health.

In 2014, the South African Rediscover Dairy initiative even recommended taking amasai daily for strong health, suggesting a few ideas on how to enjoy the drink: (5) 

  • Drink it on its own or with added honey
  • Mix with fresh fruit
  • Eat amasai with bread for a simple meal
  • Pour some amasai over maize meal porridge (pap)
  • Use amasai instead of yogurt or buttermilk in your baking recipes
  • Add some amasai to your soups and pasta for a creamier taste
  • Use as a natural recovery drink after physical exercise

Regarding the health benefits of amasai, the first studies on the matter go back to 2004. For example, Richard Mokua, one of the pioneers in the field of amasai research, noticed that the fermented drink significantly reduced the incidence of diarrhea in children who consumed it regularly.

But how exactly amasai helps with that?

Amasai & E. Coli

In general, Escherichia coli is a normal part of the human gut flora and usually doesn’t cause any harm. At the same time, some strains of E. coli can be extremely dangerous and are some of the most common bacterial pathogens in humans. (6)

In other words, it’s alright to have some E. coli as part of your gut flora, but you definitely don’t want to get any of it in your food. 

The good news is that, according to Richard Mokua, amasai effectively kills off E. coli in just two hours!

In his research, Mokua took equal volumes of amasai, milk, and plain commercial yogurt. E. coli bacteria were added into all samples, which were then incubated at 37 C for eight hours. Every two hours, Richard Mokua evaluated the growth of the pathogen in all samples.

Here’s what he found: (7)

  • In some amasai samples, E. coli was almost undetectable 2 hours after the start of the experiment.
  • After 4 hours, E. coli was almost completely eradicated from all the amasai samples and some yogurt samples
  • On the contrary, commercial milk served as the perfect environment for E. coli growth

Amasai as a Probiotic

Mokua’s findings, as well as the studies that followed, confirm the idea that amasai is a powerful probiotic. After all, the common feature of all probiotics is that they contain beneficial bacteria and can inhibit or kill harmful bacteria.

In this aspect, Mokua’s research highlights that both yogurt and amasai are probiotics (with amasai being slightly more potent) while whole milk is not.

What are Probiotics?

According to the World Health Organization, probiotics are live cultures of microorganisms that provide various health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts. (8)

In general, the term is used both in regards to specific bacterial cultures (for example, different Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species) and the foods that contain them (amasai, kefir, sauerkraut, and others).

The Benefits of Probiotics

In general, probiotics are great for anyone’s health, regardless of the specific kind of probiotic you decide to take. Let’s take a closer look at what exactly they can offer you, according to scientific studies!

Improved Immune System

probiotics immune system

One of the greatest health benefits of all probiotics, including amasai, is immunity support. This effect is achieved through a double action: probiotics boost the body’s immune system AND fight harmful bacteria on their own!

Here are some exciting findings on the matter:

  • The lactic acid bacteria in amasai have antibacterial properties against a wide range of pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis (9)
  • Some probiotics are effective in preventing Clostridium difficile infection, a dangerous side effect of conventional antibiotics (10)
  • Probiotics modulate the function of macrophages and lymphocytes, two types of immune cells that are essential against bacterial and viral infections (11)
  • Probiotics are beneficial for any kind of allergic process. For example, studies have reported that probiotics are effective in reducing the symptoms of hay fever (allergic rhinitis) (12)

Some other diseases that could benefit from the immunity boost of probiotics include ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, chronic pouchitis, and liver disease. (13, 14, 15, 16).

Gut Support

According to the latest estimates, bacteria make about 0.3% of any person’s body weight. Essentially, we’re talking about 7 oz for every 154 pounds (or 200 g for 70 kg) of body weight! (17)

The lion’s share of this bacterial mass resides in the human gut and is collectively named the gut microflora. When you think about it, it’s not surprising that probiotics are extremely beneficial for gut health!

  • Probiotics prevent and treat infectious diarrhea (18)
  • Some probiotic strains alleviate lactose intolerance (19)
  • Probiotics significantly improve stool consistency and bowel movements in patients with chronic constipation (20)

Age-Related Conditions

Thanks to their ability to modulate and support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and keep harmful bacteria at bay, probiotics are beneficial for a wide range of age-related conditions.

These include Alzheimer’s disease and resulting dementia, as well as age-related cognitive decline in general. (21, 22) Moreover, there is preliminary evidence that probiotics could have anti-aging properties of their own. 

Studies have reported that progeria (a disease characterized by accelerated aging) is accompanied by an increase in the populations of Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria in the guts—with a simultaneous drop in Verrucomicrobia abundance. At the same time, the microflora of centenarians is abundant in Verrucomicrobia and really scarce in Proteobacteria! (23)

Probiotics and Nutrient Absorption

All probiotics, including amasai, can improve nutrient absorption. According to studies, here’s how it works: (24)

  • Probiotic bacteria decrease the pH in the guts, leading to improved micronutrient solubility
  • Probiotics enlarge the absorption surface of the guts
  • In some cases, probiotics directly enhance the absorption of some minerals, particularly calcium and iron
  • Some strains of probiotics even produce vitamins on their own, like B12!

As you see, the list of health benefits that probiotics can offer you is fabulous. So, what kind of probiotic should you pick? Is amasai a better option that kefir or yogurt?

Let’s see how they compare!

Amasai vs. Kefir

The main probiotic cultures in amasai belong to the Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, and Leuconostoc spp. genera. (25) The same bacteria are present in kefir. (26)

In terms of taste, most people describe amasai as tart and milky, somewhere in the middle between plain yogurt and cottage cheese. Kefir usually feels more sour and effervescent.

Regarding nutrition, amasai is a slightly better source of energy, calcium, sodium, healthy fat, and vitamin A. Kefir is somewhat higher in calories, total carbohydrate, and phosphorus. (5, 27) 

In general, both amasai and kefir are healthy dairy products and natural sources of probiotics. Ideally, consuming a bit of both every once in a while is a great idea.

Amasai vs. Grass-Fed Yogurt

Grass-fed yogurt usually has a gentler taste than amasai, so it’s probably a bit more suitable as a healthy dessert or salad dressing—but that’s a matter of personal preference.

Both foods are rich in probiotic cultures, but the probiotic profile of amasai is generally more diverse. Grass-fed yogurt is a better source of protein, calcium, and vitamin A while amasai is a bit higher in total fat and potassium. (5, 28)

All in all, amasai is a slightly better choice if you’re looking for probiotic health benefits while yogurt is slightly more nutritious.

Amasai vs. Other Forms of Dairy

Compared to most other dairy foods (like butter, cream, and cheese), amasai is a better source of probiotic cultures. On the other hand, amasai isn’t very filling, as it contains just 64 calories per 100 g. (5)

Another detail to remember is that amasai, just like other fermented dairy drinks, may feel somewhat exotic to a typical Westerner. If you’ve never tried it before, don’t judge it straight after the first sip: let yourself get used to the taste!

Should You DIY Your Amasai?

Making amasai is simple and easy, but here’s one important thing to remember. Homemade amasai can taste very different from one batch to another, even if you’re using the same starter in all cases.

This effect is based on a lot of factors:

  • The type of containers you use to ferment your amasai
  • What you do with the containers between the batches (nothing, wash, rinse, smoke, etc.)
  • Temperature, air pressure, humidity, sunlight
  • Presence of other fermenting foods in the same room (there’s a risk of cross-contamination)
  • Luck

To summarize, if you don’t mind a bit of randomness in your amasai, then making it at home could be an exciting activity to try!

How to Make Amasai

1. Take some milk from a trusted supplier. 

Ideally, this milk should be whole, unpasteurized, and coming from grass-fed cows.

2. Pour your whole milk into a clean, non-transparent container.

You can use a calabash, a jar, or a ceramic pot. It doesn’t matter much, as long as the container can be closed tightly to seal the fermentation process.

3. Add a bit of older amasai or an amasai starter purchased from a trusted seller. 

If you’re using a commercial starter, follow the provided instructions. If you’re using older amasai, don’t worry much about the dosage. Adding too little of it will make the fermentation a bit slower, adding too much will give you a thicker amasai that you’ll be able to dilute later with milk until you’re happy with the result.

4. Close the container and leave it to ferment for a while at room temperature. 

After several hours to a full day, drain the transparent liquid (whey) and leave the curdled mass in the container.

5. Add some more milk to the container, and leave it to ferment at room temperature.

Your end goal is a thick kefir-like liquid. This process can take anywhere from a few hours to two full days, so make sure to check the progress every once in a while.

6. Enjoy!

Drink amasai on its own, add some honey for extra sweetness, or combine it with fresh fruits and nuts. Once the amasai is ready, you can store it in the fridge for about two full weeks.

Amasai Drink Recipes

Amasai is delicious on its own, without any extra ingredients. If you want to get creative, however, here are a few recipes to try!

Banana and Chocolate Amasai Drink

Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or as a quick healthy snack.

  • Amasai – 1 cup
  • Raw cocoa powder – 2 tablespoons
  • One medium banana, raw 
  1. Chop the banana into medium-sized chunks.
  2. Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix well.
  3. Pour into a cup and enjoy!
  4. This drink also makes an excellent post-workout blend, so try taking it with you to the gym.

Spiced Honey Amasai Drink

This drink isn’t for everyone, but make sure to give it a try if you usually enjoy spicy recipes.

  • Amasai – 1 cup
  • Organic honey – 1 tablespoon
  • Ground cinnamon – half a teaspoon
  • Orange zest, finely grated –  half a teaspoon
  • Ground cloves – a few pinches
  1. Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix well.
  2. Some people may find this drink too spicy, so make sure to have a bit of plain amasai at hand to dilute the beverage if needed.
  3. As an optional ingredient, consider adding a bit of black pepper into the blend.

Summary

Amasai is a fermented milk beverage traditional to South Africa. This fabulous probiotic food has a long list of health benefits to offer—and you can easily make your own amasai at home!

Keep in mind, though, that you may need some time to get used to the tart flavor of amasai if you don’t usually enjoy fermented milk products like kefir or plain yogurt.
