Can I use Absorb Plus to LOSE weight?
Yes, because Absorb Plus can be used in three ways:
1.To maintain your current weight whilst increasing your level of nutrition
2.To resolve malnutrition and gain solid, healthy weight (not fat)
3.To control calorie intake and lose weight whilst still getting good nutrition
Whether you want to lose weight, gain weight, or simply maintain your existing weight, is simply a matter of calories ingested. One serving of Absorb Plus, with 1 tbsp. of Udo’s Oil added = 485 calories. You need 15 calories per pound of body weight, per day, just to maintain your existing weight. If you want to gain or lose weight, 1 pound = 3000 calories.
Therefore, if you add 3000 calories per week to your existing diet, you’ll gain 1 pound per week. If you subtract 3000 calories per week from your normal diet, you’ll lose 1 pound per week.
E.g. Mary weighs 100 pounds. Therefore, to maintain her current weight she needs to consume 1500 calories per day. She could have an Absorb Plus shake for breakfast or dinner, and have her other 2 meals total 1015 calories per day.
To gain weight (1 pound per week) she needs to consume 1928 calories per day. So she would need to drink 1 Absorb Plus shake per day in addition to her current/regular diet. Or, she could have 2 Absorb Plus shakes per day and have her other food equal 958 calories per day.
To lose weight (1 pound per week) she would need to consume no more than 1072 calories per day – she could do this by eating 2 small meals (totaling 587 calories) and having an Absorb Plus shake for breakfast each day.
To ensure weight loss is long-term, make sure you don’t lose too much weight, too quickly. One pound per week is really the maximum you should lose if you want to prevent a “famine response” in your body and lower your metabolism (the lower your metabolism, the more quickly you’ll gain weight in future). To keep your metabolism at a good rate, ensure your endocrine (hormonal) system is healthy, exercise regularly, and eat at least 3 meals per day.

"If I were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one thing along, wild oregano oil would be it! "~Jini
Jini's books have instructions for many uses for wild oregano. The most important is Jini's Wild Oregano Oil Protocol which is used to rid the gut of infectious agents and then implant a healthy bacterial population.

Most of the fat we consume is in unusable forms, which irritates our digestive system. Cold-pressed flax oil is absorbed very quickly and even people with a marked ‘fat-intolerance’ have no problem with it.
Since the 1950’s, most westerners have been severely deficient in Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) which leads to a wide variety of problems in the body. Regular ingestion of flax oil cures this deficiency.
You can safely supplement up to 8-10 tablespoons per day of flax oil and a good maintenance dose is 2-4 tablespoons per day.
Flax oil has a very mild, unobtrusive taste and is also great in salad dressings, drizzled over cooked vegetables, or stirred into dips, salsa or yoghurt. However, do not heat the oil or use it to fry foods as this destroys the Essential Fatty Acids.
Cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring also contain high levels of Omega-3 and other ‘good fats’ (EFA, GLA) needed by the body. If you try to work flax oil (Essential Fatty Acids) into these other areas of your diet it will soon be easy and delicious to get the amount you need each day.
The other major benefit is that Omega-3 is a powerful anti-inflammatory and has been used solely in double-blind, placebo controlled studies to induce remission in patients with Crohn’s Disease (The New England Journal of Medicine, June 13, 1996).

White Willow Bark (from which aspirin was derived) was originally used by Native American Indians and boiled to make tea which was drunk to alleviate pain.
It was also used 2,500 years ago by Chinese physicians, who also used the bark of the willow tree to treat pain and fever.
In the 19th century, western scientists discovered the active ingredient in willow bark was salicin, a natural chemical that the body first converts into saligenin and then into salicylic acid.
Using this model, German chemists synthesized acetylsalicylic acid (a non-natural molecular structure and therefore able to be patented by the Bayer drug company), from which all pharmaceutical ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) products are made.
However, both ASA and natural salicin work in a similar way.
White willow bark reduces pain by blocking the body’s production of inflammatory prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances involved in inflammation and muscle contraction.
White willow bark is also a very effective fever reducer. You can buy it in capsule form and either swallow it or open the capsules, and you can mix the powder with Cocoa Butter to make a suppository. I do this for children – but make sure to reduce the dosage appropriately.

Wild Oregano Oil has gained popularity for its potential health benefits and we at LTYG LOVE it! But how can you make the most of this natural remedy? How did I use it when treating my Ulcerative Colitis, especially since I was so hypersensitive to every new supplement?
Wild Oregano Oil (WOO) is the basis of many of Jini’s health protocols and home remedies because it is a POWERHOUSE!
Jini always says if she were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one thing along, wild oregano oil would be it!

Here’s another gut-friendly recipe for you! This egg salad, is quick, easy, and very nutritious! The best part? It’s also Paleo, Keto, Gluten-free, and completely dairy-free!
There is there is no mayo in this recipe, which can be a trigger for IBD people, but I promise you – the egg salad is still CREAMY and DELICIOUS.
You can have this as a quick lunch for yourself, but it’s great for the kiddos too!

A mom recently asked me a great question:
She has Crohn’s, her sisters have colitis, their mom has Crohn’s, and even her grandmother had UC. She wants to give her kids the best chance of avoiding these conditions.
But her husband feels like they should enjoy childhood - ice cream, birthday cake, pizza with friends.
