Salt and other cooking additions

  •  Himalayan or Celtic salt  – Good salt is your friend, NOT your enemy;
  •  RAW, UNFILTERED Apple Cider Vinegar – Raw, organic, unfiltered Apple cider vinegar has multiple health benefits
  • SHIRL’S AVOCADO OIL DRESSING Combine: 1 Cup Cold-pressed avocado oil 4 T ready-made mustard 3 T raw honey 2 T raw apple cider vinegar Keep refrigerated.
  •  MSG – Monosodium glutamate and other forms of neurotoxic free glutamate – this toxic flavor enhancer is a hidden ingredient in many products, designed to enhance the flavor of food. This might be alright if it wasn’t an excitotoxin – a substance that causes your brain’s neurons to fire, which when present in excessive amounts, can over-stimulate neurons, even to the point of destroying them. Many people experience painful migraines after consuming MSG -a sure sign that something is wrong!
