WE ARE IN A WAR FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OF HUMANITY

Finally, a drop of truth in this Ocean of Propaganda that we receive daily.

Looking at the last few decades, humanity is on the eve of a great change. Humankind has had fantastic achievements that we have brought under our control. For instance, famine, contagious diseases, sanitation, Hygiene, antibiotics, and the creation of other   Antimicrobial Medicines. Humanity seems to be dying from the products they have created to consume and use along with slowly systematically poisoned for profit. At the same time, we are destroying more ecosystems and animals into extinction. The new power that we have is creating a pathway to transform us into our very own extinction. It seems that humans are undermining their very own existence. This greed is also creating alarming gene mutations and in the near future, we may not even be able to recognize a true human genome.    

The American health is an incredible journey where we always have had that need to be opening that window of discovery not just into humanity’s past, but also onto our future.

There is something really big and puzzling happening. We are currently living in the most advanced era in human history with more medical breakthroughs than ever before but we seem to be the sickest.

There is enormous power within our government, religion, politicians, corporations, the media, and the 1% elite idealists in our world. Yes, the scientists and researchers are creating but the reality is the money behind them is paving the way. The funding behind the research is not always truthful and the data effectively influenced to benefit the funding party.  

 In this book, I have done an intensive job of investigative work where you will learn the current profit environment in the many aspects of the American healthcare industry, the Food Industry, and the Chemical industry. This is not only currently harmful to us but for future generations to come.

You will also learn how Americans deliberately are Being Poisoned for Profit and perhaps finally be able to see the Price Tag Stapled to our ears. We are just disposable pawns in their game of chess. 

 The industry for profit over people is mean, nasty, greedy, and sinister. Everything I feared is true.

There is a war raging against humanity and our earth.  We have been passively indoctrinated and so utterly pre-programmed that we do not ask the questions that need to ask. We have laid our trust completely in those in power or someone with a title behind their name. People conditioned blindly believing in things simply because enough people assured us it was true. Infectious diseases have been irradiated but chronic diseases are the new black plague of our modern time. This book is profoundly personal as it represents a mission brimming with meaning.  As I reflect on extraordinary truths about our nation’s health history, current, and future, I also offer you wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We must stop the atrocities if we want to become a healthier nation in the future. We must stop the atrocities if we want the human race to survive. I hope my voice and advocacy will continue to help lead the way and this book will make changes for current and future generations to come. No, I simply do not have all the answers but I have written plenty in this book to make you start questioning EVERYTHING.

What you are about to discover is terrifying.

From the Author:

We are in a war for the sake of all of humankind. Clean water, clean food, clean land, and clean air is something we should not have to demand. Forced vaccines, misrepresented disproportionately medications, media propaganda, and endorsed environmental toxins are something from a fictional Hollywood movie but unfortunately, it is our current America. They create hate among us individually; it makes their job so much easier.  Divide and conquer. Blinded by fake narratives to keep our attention away from the atrocities currently done to the American people.

It is every living being right on this planet to have a healthy planet but yet it is also humanity’s responsibility as one of the smartest species on the planet to not pillage, plunder and destroy this given privilege. Perhaps, evolution made a mistake allowing us humans to be the dominators over the animal kingdom.

They view us as disposable lab rats with a dollar sign attached to our ears like animals heading to slaughter.   

 Why do you believe what you believe? At some point in your life, you trusted the information that you learned and that person told you how to read the language that you speak, count numbers, and learn to spell. The things you learned help to form our perception of what we believed to be facts. You have listened to, read, and watched a ton of content from birth until now. Have you ever stopped and listened to the content that you are viewing? Motion pictures, television shows, social media, and the news are the world’s greatest forces for influencing the public’s thoughts and opinions. Think about a movie you seen like Jaws for example. Did that make you scared to go into the ocean? How about the movie Top Gun? Did you all of a sudden want to become a pilot and a freedom fighter for justice? Think about when you are listening to the radio while driving, on some sort of social media app, watching television, or watching a movie at the theaters; what are you listening too? One word. Programming. Since birth, we have been programmed by television shows, movies, music, games, and now social media. Our government has always controlled our content but we have never paid attention to it. Now, what if they did not have our best interests in mind. Would you change your views if you found out this to be true? The gatekeepers want to control us. Years of research has left a missing element in my quest for the truth. This desire for the answers is the reason why I must continue to seek it out. This is why I have become an alchemist by heart and by nature. There is a means to teach, transform the health of others, and to show people how to prolong their life. 

However, sharing my research was and always will be the intention of all my books. I find that the more I research, study, root for facts, the more questions come to the surface and I am thrown further into that proverbial rabbit hole.  Imagine driving a beautiful freshly washed red car with shiny rims down an old dusty, dry, dirt road on a hot summer’s afternoon that has not seen rain in months. I can see my destination in the distance but it seems like I have been driving for hours, the longer I drive, the more dust and fine sand swirl around my car like a terrible dust storm from the ground, and soon the luster coated completely in the fine powder of discovery.

Insanity has roamed through our nation far too long, cloistered in a proverbial dark closet sits all the answers when you decide to take that leap of faith into the unknown. The enormous influence of dictatorship that wields over the American people has to end. The early and ongoing stages of crimes against humanity must stop.     

I take it as a compliment when people say that I am a conspiracy theorist. You see, I have challenged what others deem as normal. I deeply research topics then I use logic and my very own critical thinking skills to form an educated opinion instead of blindly perceiving what to believe or pushed onto a hamster wheel.  

I certainly do not follow the “programming” that many are so very use to either.

The term “conspiracy Theorists” mentioned by the CIA with the means to discredit the claims of anyone who questioned what was going on and to discredit information from leaking out about their activities. Therefore, when you hear someone deemed as a “conspiracy theorist” you really would not take him or her seriously, because you have been programmed to think this way. I am a “conspiracy realist” who prefers to be known as a well-informed, free thinker, who bases her opinion on science and research. Who also keeps her eyes open to the world around. My name is A.L. Childers, and I am an internationally recognized published author, blogger, and a Holistic Health Coach.  My gift to the world is that I am a seeker for the truth, a patriot for justice, and an advocate for human health.  I have a voracious appetite for pulling back the curtain on topics.

Health is the foundation of life. Money and freedom do not mean a lot if you do not have a healthy planet nor healthy people to live on it. The power of freedom will transform lives but when people are sick, in bondage and repressed there is a limit to what they can achieve.

There needs to be a genuine shift in the American healthcare industry, the Food Industry, and the Chemical industry. It should begin with the entire establishment, our leaders who refuse to sway or waiver in their integrity for profit, our environment, our agricultural system, the environmental chemicals, personal care products, and the nutrient nutritional factors in which foods sold to the public. Our capitalistic America; the current corporate-dominated system of bureaucracy would not stand for such a major shift in changing their bottom dollar of profit over people.  

Americans simply will not ever start healing our health issues if we do not start fighting back, demanding change, and essentially begin to understand why people are struggling with more chronic disease, chronic pain, and more obese than ever before in the history of our beautiful county. I am proud to be an American. The song by Lee Greenwood always gives me chills, brings tears to my eyes, and when I sing it I feel it in every part of my being.      

After becoming critically ill with a “so-called” long-term condition.  I healed myself with research, knowledge, and courage (induced by our toxic food, metal loaded toxic vaccines, a chemically enhanced water system, and current “health” care system practice); it has become the most important mission for me to spread the word about how dispensable we are to our capitalistic culture. I became a warrior for truth, freedom, and health. Our survival needs to have access to eat clean wholesome foods, clean air, and to be able to move without pain. We should be able to thrive happily into old age without the need for assistance while the importance of not having to take medications daily or being forced with toxic injections.

I am offering you an olive branch of wisdom while you travel with me down the proverbial rabbit hole.  I do hope that I will plant a seed where you will become more aware if you are not already and start asking the questions, doing your research, and realizing exactly how America is the land of the sick. The visual propaganda that we have all been lead to believe is a complete lie. This whole charade is about creating more sickness, selling more drugs, and propping up a complete medical industry. We are being fed fake foods that are processed, chemically laced, and resemble real food along with slowly poisoned by our very own environment. 

There are higher powers that are controlling the narrative and they are brainwashing all of us.

 Now for their encore, pushing for forced vaccinations as soon as they rush one thru, another one soon is to follow and by the same ones who think that we are here for harvesting, debt bondage, and forced labor.    

As human beings, we have the unique capacity to make rational decisions about our everyday lives. Being an American, we have the freedom of choice and that is a great human right.

Let us re-write humanity’s health story in many more ways than one.

Mother Earth is sick and she is suffocating. 

Nature will always win in the end long after humanity has left this earth.

We have work to do!

The truth is “learned” and never told.

–A.L. Childers

Chapter 1: Setting up your Hypothyroidism Holiday Kitchen

Leave a reply

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

― Hippocrates

Throughout history in various different cultures all around the world food has been used for its wonderful healing properties. The problem is with our current culture today is we are eating food like products. Our generation is the age where we are consumed with overly processed, genetically modified, artificially flavored and preservative loaded foods.

We are in such a state of denial. Every Cell in your body responds to the foods you consume.  These foods have a direct impact on your hormones and in return your hormones have a direct impact on every major system in your body. So many of us have these crazy phantom-like health problems.  Our body is lacking certain nutrients that heavily influence the function of every cell in our body while certain foods can inhibit your body’s ability to absorb the replacement nutrients needed.

Did you know that products we use every day may contain toxic chemicals and has been linked to women’s health issues? They are hidden endocrine disruptors and are very tricky chemicals that play havoc on our bodies. “We are all routinely exposed to endocrine disruptors, and this has the potential to significantly harm the health of our youth,” said Renee Sharp, EWG’s director of research. “It’s important to do what we can to avoid them, but at the same time we can’t shop our way out of the problem. We need to have a real chemical policy reform.” The longer the length of ingredients on your food label means how much more unhealthy it is for you to consume. When an item contains a host of ingredients that most likely you can’t even pronounce or remember to spell you can bet your lucky dollar that the natural nutrients are long gone. These highly processed frank n foods are very difficult for the body to break down and some of the chemicals will become stored in your body. Look at it another way. When is the last time that you see an Azodicarbonamide grazing in a field or Sodium benzoate being grown in a garden?

Here’s a list of the top food additives to avoid:

    Artificial Sweeteners. …

    High Fructose Corn Syrup. …

    Monosodium Glutamate (MSG / E621) …

    Trans Fat. …

    Common Food Dyes. …

    Sodium Sulfite (E221) …

    Sodium Nitrate/Sodium Nitrite. …

    BHA and BHT (E320)

These chemicals will increase production of certain hormones; decreasing production of others; imitating hormones; turning one hormone into another; interfering with hormone signaling; telling cells to die prematurely; competing with essential nutrients; binding to essential hormones; accumulating in organs that produce hormones. Woah! That’s a lot of work being done by these fake food chemicals. Another thing you should think about is to start making your own all natural cleaning supplies and being aware of the chemicals that you may purchase for your home, body and yard.  There is no one size fits all program when you are dealing with your body. When you start to eat smarter and are aware of what foods feed your body, despite the condition, you can start to feel better and manage your health better.

I write from the deepest part of my soul. I want you to understand that everything that I write, if you were to apply it to your life can and will make the difference between you having the energy to live your life as you want, or merely dragging yourself through life.

Remember, what we eat, governs what we become.

There is a major disconnect between what we believe to be healthy foods and what research tells us is healthy In fact, many of the health foods today that people go out of their way to eat daily are extremely thyroid suppressive.

As consumers we put our trust in the research and development of scientific studies, the FDA and the CDC. 

I can’t stress enough the importance of reading the ingredient labels on the foods that you are consuming. Food manufacturers are brilliant and they hope you don’t realize how tricky and clever they can be. Before you purchase that item, make it a point to know and understand each ingredient on that label. If you see a word on the label that you can’t pronounce or can’t define much less understand what it means. My personal rule of thumb is that if I can’t pronounce that food ingredient OR, I don’t know what the food ingredient is, then I don’t eat it!

There are literally thousands of food additives that can cause health-related problems. The book Consumer’s Guide to Food Additives is a great source that defines each individual, and often unpronounceable, ingredient or you can just go ahead and open up your web browser on your phone and google the item. 

Here is a list of a few things you can go ahead and mark off your list of things you need to avoid while purchasing your groceries.  

GMOs: Scientists don’t know exactly the implications of these genetically modified foods. They have not been tested on the long term effects on humans. It may take a few generations to see exactly how they change our DNA, scramble our genes like eggs and rearrange our chromosomes. There have been studies performed in mice that show a great deal of evidence to indicate that the GMOs can cause a host of illnesses. Peer review studies implicate GMO’s in the development of grotesque tumors, premature death, organ failure, gastric lesions, liver damage, kidney damage, severe allergic reactions, cancers, and a viral gene that disrupts human’s functions. Nearly all the corn and soy sold in the United States are GMO. Those are two things right there that you need to avoid completely when purchasing your groceries.

Soy: Soy products have hormone disrupting effects. Soy is also high in isoflavones (or goitrogens), which can damage your thyroid gland. Products containing soy protein appear in nearly every aisle of the supermarket. That’s because soy doesn’t just mean tofu. Traditional soyfoods also include soymilk, soynuts and edamame (green soybeans), just to name a few. Food companies also develop new food products containing soy protein from veggie burgers to fortified pastas and cereals. READ your labels. Dont worry you still can eat fried brown rice but replace it with Coconut amino’s instead.  Soy is estrogen mimicking, goitrogenic, hexane filled, protease inhibiting, GMO & an environmental destroying food.”

Hormones and Antibiotics: Most Livestock animals that provide meat and dairy products unless they are from an all organic farm are tainted with growth hormones, antibiotics and GMO feed. These chemicals pass through the food chain to us the consumers.  Growth hormones can cause opposite sex characteristics in developing children, early puberty, the development of cancer, and infertility. Even scarier is the world is becoming immune to antibiotics and these superbugs. Due from all the constant exposure from our food supply. Our bodies are becoming more resistant to the antibiotics that use to be able to easily treat an infection or a foreign body invader.

Pesticides: The use of pesticides in farming, on our foods and in our homes have become e rampant. The EPA knows what it’s doing to our bodies but the money is too good for them to stop allowing this to happen. It makes you wonder if they are bought off by the Round up giant Monosato. They do warn us of the birth defects, nerve damage and cancer that it can cause after being exposed or the other effects on our bodies after long term exposure but yet people still use weed killers and house hold chemicals every day.

 Neurotoxins: As I’ve said before unless you have a well your water supply is spiked with fluoride. Which is a neurotoxin that lowers IQ’s, has been linked to cancer, causes infertility, and hardening of the arteries. Every prepackaged food on the self has a chemical makeup of things to keep it from going bad and to taste better.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG): Never eat this neurotoxic, brain-damaging, genetically modified and concentrated spicy salt substitute. Causes brain damage in infants and unbearable migraine headaches in children, teens and adults. This is also used to make cheap, lower quality foods taste better aka “flavor enhancer”.

Aspartame, sucralose, sorbitol, saccharine, acesulfame potassium: These are all synthetic, IBS-causing, neurotoxic artificial sweeteners designed to make humans sick and fat.

Diacetyl: This synthetic artificial butter flavoring is often added to microwave popcorn. Able to cross the blood-brain barrier, this food additive nightmare causes beta-amyloid clumping associated with Alzheimer’s disease. You may not see the word diacetyl, so just look for “artificial butter flavor” and you’ll know.

Mercury, (listed as thimerosal), aluminum, formaldehyde and MSG: all very common ingredients in vaccines and flu shots.

Food can be a powerful medicine. I bet you never thought about your kitchen as a powerful belly-shrinking tool. Once you get your kitchen set up and stocked the right way, it certainly will make a difference in your health.  Simple food swaps, organizing your cabinets and the right tools at your fingertips can make all the difference. Creating a healthy kitchen environment that is inviting will put you in the right mindset that will mentally prepare you for success. The space around us makes a big difference between grabbing those bag of chips or that organic apple. 

Setting up your Hypothyroidism Holiday kitchen

All too many times when the holidays rolls around we try to do too much, too fast and it certainly comes back to bite us in the butt. Having a chronic illness already gives us day to day challenges.  Instead of jumping in with both feet blazing why not follow these simple tricks to make your life easier. You don’t need to do it all in one day. Approach it gradually. If you can get help from your loved ones then assign a task to everyone where you’re not overwhelmed or bombarded with things that need to be done.  Keeping your stress to a minimal is the key.  Stop expecting so much from yourself. Adjust your expectations and become more realistic of what your current abilities are. It’s not a downfall. It’s life and how it is for you. Don’t look at it like you’re less of a person. Everyone has their own issues and they might be better at hiding them than you. If you only have the energy for a few hours of activity, don’t push yourself, take your time and accomplish those activities as you can. You have to realize what is worth devoting your time and energy to, and try to stay clear of those things that don’t make the list. Of course, you want your house to be fully decorated with a holiday village, outside decorations, and other things but if you only have energy for a tree then only put up that tree.  We seem to forget what really makes the holidays memorable isn’t an impeccably decorated home. It’s spending time with each other, talking and laughing, and sharing wonderfully delicious foods. I prefer to not be curled on the couch in exhaustion and pain the day after and just focus on what’s really important. With these simple tricks in my book you can learn how to prepare slowly, always listen to your body, enjoy each moment and stay stress free. 

Always to remember to be kind to yourself.

My favorite Turkey Gravy

    6 cups turkey pan drippings or 6 cups chicken stock

    1/2 cup King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour (or your flour of choice)

    1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

    1/ 2 cup Kerry Gold Butter, ghee or coconut oil or non-dairy whipped butter

I prefer to use the pan drippings and add chicken stock if need be. I also like to boil the gizzards, neck, onion, celery, carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns in my chicken stock if I don’t have enough pan drippings. I cook it for about 25 minutes. Brig it to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes. 

If you decide to cook the gizzards, neck, onion, celery, carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns in the chicken stock to give it an extra sting make sure to drain it through a mesh strainer and throw away the gizzards, neck and an onion. 

Melt the butter in a sauce pan, add the flour, and stir with a whisk to combine.  Slowly add your stock as your was whisking the roux.  Season with salt and pepper to taste and yum!

I don’t know where to start

Hang in there. This wont happen overnight.

I know, there is so much information overload that most people are confused as to where to start.  You can start by taking ownership of your health. I wanted you to understand or get a idea of how everything has a part to play in your body. I am on a  path to help you, lead you and inform you through this terrible illness. Being diagnosed with hypothyroidism isn’t just here take this pill and it will fix your issues. Hypothyroidism has a root cause. Once you start addressing the root of your problems then your body can start healing itself. Your body is an awesome design but there is a complex balance between everything. It’s a domino affect. If you have something in your body that is overworked  it will cause a major shift in your body. Don’t worry the good news is it can be healed.

Sometimes we have to do a little pruning of the branches, in order for the tree to be healthy again. A number of things can be the reason why you have hormonal imbalances, food intolerances, thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, personality changes, leaky gut, depression, an autoimmune disorder, chronic pain, no metabolism and low sex drive, bloating, anxiety, menstrual problems and infertility. It starts with becoming aware and how your health can be influenced by many different circumstances.
How would you define good health? Logically one would define good health as absence of a disease or following some sort of ground rules that avoid developing a disease. This book can help you begin to understand what a Keto Autoimmune protocol is and start guiding you in the redevelopment and healing of your body. You will begin to understand how to fix your gut, strengthen your immunity and fight inflammation with an autoimmune approach. The Keto AIP removes all the common inflammatory food triggers that stimulate a possible autoimmune reaction in the body. Along with helping to reset those adrenals, boosting that energy and doing a little ass kicking to those hormones that have decided to act like a wild college student and pull an all-nighter the day before final exams.
Your health doesn’t have to be a difficult situation but a positive realization that things need to change. This new lifestyle change has many parts to it and I hope you will embrace not only the physical but the spiritual awakening. Common food intolerances that are known to trigger inflammation are eliminated in this Keto AIP protocol are Nightshades, Eggs, Grains (gluten), Dairy, Legumes, Corn, Soy, Dairy and lectins.

Let’s talk Turkey! THE TASTIEST HYPOTHYROIDISM ALTERNATIVES TO THIS THANKSGIVING DAY CELEBRATION

Leave a reply

The turkey is the centerpiece of most conversations this time of year. There’s no denying the importance of this Thanksgiving table’s show piece. The common rule of thumb is to allow at least 1 pound per person, plus an extra half pound per person if you want leftovers. My favorite is an organic “Pasture Raised” turkey. These birds are raised with organic standards, they taste incredible and no GMO feed is allowed. Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising turkeys but it doesn’t prohibit how they are raised, if antibiotics are injected, if animal by-products are in their feed and if there were any added solutions or injections to the animal. I look on the label for it to say “Pasture Raised” or I get to know a local farmer and speak with them on how they raise their birds and what they feed them.  If a label reads “free range” or “cage free” birds, that doesn’t meant it was raised the good old-fashioned way, outdoors in a fresh pasture.  If you purchase one with the label saying “Pasture Raised”, you know you are getting exactly that. These kind of turkey’s have a diet consisting of  plenty of nutrient-rich and antioxidant-rich green grass with the  ability to forage for worms, bugs and insects. Now if the farmer supplements with omega-3 rich flaxseed meal and vitamins and minerals that is ok, as long as these items aren’t the bulk of the turkey’s diet. It’s completely up to you if you purchase a “pasture raised” turkey or one from your local market.

Stuffed Turkey

1 12-15 lb.  Whole turkey breast, fresh or frozen and thawed

(Adjust amount of turkey stock for larger turkey)

    The stuffing of your choice from this book

    Cheesecloth (large enough for triple layer over turkey)

        TURKEY STOCK INGREDIENTS

    1 turkey neck

    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

    Himalayan sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    2 onions, quartered and finely chopped

    2 carrots, chopped in thirds

    3 stalks celery, chopped in thirds

1 tsp Himalayan sea salt

    2 tsp freshly ground pepper

    6 fresh sage leaves

    2 cups of water

 UNDER THE SKIN

3/4 cup Kerry Gold Butter, ghee or coconut oil or non-dairy whipped butter, softened

1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

(Mix this in a bowl and set aside)

    After you have cleaned your turkey form the brine mixture

    Pat the inside of your turkey dry. Season with salt and pepper.

    Stuff turkey with the stuffing of your choice. All of the stuffing may not fit but what doesn’t fit just cook it as instructed with the recipe that you had chosen. I also like to use my fingers to carefully loosen the skin around the entire bird. Take the butter mixture and rub all over the inside of the skin of the turkey. Place the butter pieces under the skin of the entire turkey. Rub the remaining butter pieces on the outside of the skin and season with salt and pepper. You can also place few sage leaves in between breast flesh and breast skin for extra seasoning.

    Place turkey in roasting pan, over a rack. Cover entire turkey with cheesecloth. Place the stock ingredients in the bottom of the pan. Roast for in a 350 degree oven until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches a minimum 165. Remember to remove the cheesecloth halfway through the cooking time, carefully remove the cheesecloth from the turkey and use the remaining butter/wine mixture to continue to baste the turkey. Always allow the turkey to rest 30 minutes before carving. If you find that the liquid is evaporating too much for the turkey stock you can always add more water or chicken stock to the bottom of the pan.  To make turkey gravy please go follow the directions that I have listed in the “sides” section of this book.

Now, since you stuffed the bird with the stuffing of your choice. Carefully remove the stuffing and place it in a bowl and serve it along with your sides.  

(You can add 1/2cup dried cranberries) 

My favorite Mama’s Cornbread Dressing!

This is my mother’s cornbread dressing but I have tweaked it where it is gluten free but it is wonderfully delicious.

2 onions, peeled and diced

4 celery, diced

1/2 cup Kerry Gold Butter, ghee or coconut oil or non-dairy whipped butter

4 cups finely crumbled gluten free toasted bread

4 cups finely crumbled gluten free cornbread (precooked the day before)

1 tbsp. Himalayan sea salt or Celtic sea salt

2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp. dried sage

2 tsp poultry seasoning

Turkey broth as needed

4 large eggs, beaten or flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons warm water (or 1 egg, if your allergies allow)

Melt butter in a skillet; add the onions and celery and sauté until tender.

Combine gluten free toasted bread and gluten free cornbread in a large bowl and mix. I always make my cornbread the night before in my cast iron skillet.

Add onions and celery plus their cooking liquid, the salt, pepper, sage, and poultry seasoning and mix thoroughly.

Add just enough turkey giblet broth to make a very moist mixture, not soupy moist, either, then stir in the eggs and scrape the dressing into a large greased baking pan or dish.

Bake in 400 degree F oven until dressing is nicely browned, about 30-40 minutes.

Optional: When I am feeling really southern in my roots and missing my grandmother. I will add to this recipe 2 chopped up, peeled precooked boiled eggs along with 2 shredded chicken breasts (meat only, no bones, of course). This is how my grandmother always made her dressing. 

If you don’t know how to make Turkey Giblet broth here you go.  In a large pot, combine the neck and giblets (throw away the liver), 6 cups water, celery, carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, skimming the froth occasionally, for 1 hour. Next you want strain the stock through a wire mess into a bowl. This may seem like a lot of work but the taste is soooOooooOoOOoOooOoo good.

I don’t know where to start

Hang in there. This wont happen overnight.

I know, there is so much information overload that most people are confused as to where to start.  You can start by taking ownership of your health. I wanted you to understand or get a idea of how everything has a part to play in your body. I am on a  path to help you, lead you and inform you through this terrible illness. Being diagnosed with hypothyroidism isn’t just here take this pill and it will fix your issues. Hypothyroidism has a root cause. Once you start addressing the root of your problems then your body can start healing itself. Your body is an awesome design but there is a complex balance between everything. It’s a domino affect. If you have something in your body that is overworked  it will cause a major shift in your body. Don’t worry the good news is it can be healed.

Sometimes we have to do a little pruning of the branches, in order for the tree to be healthy again. A number of things can be the reason why you have hormonal imbalances, food intolerances, thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, personality changes, leaky gut, depression, an autoimmune disorder, chronic pain, no metabolism and low sex drive, bloating, anxiety, menstrual problems and infertility. It starts with becoming aware and how your health can be influenced by many different circumstances.
How would you define good health? Logically one would define good health as absence of a disease or following some sort of ground rules that avoid developing a disease. This book can help you begin to understand what a Keto Autoimmune protocol is and start guiding you in the redevelopment and healing of your body. You will begin to understand how to fix your gut, strengthen your immunity and fight inflammation with an autoimmune approach. The Keto AIP removes all the common inflammatory food triggers that stimulate a possible autoimmune reaction in the body. Along with helping to reset those adrenals, boosting that energy and doing a little ass kicking to those hormones that have decided to act like a wild college student and pull an all-nighter the day before final exams.
Your health doesn’t have to be a difficult situation but a positive realization that things need to change. This new lifestyle change has many parts to it and I hope you will embrace not only the physical but the spiritual awakening. Common food intolerances that are known to trigger inflammation are eliminated in this Keto AIP protocol are Nightshades, Eggs, Grains (gluten), Dairy, Legumes, Corn, Soy, Dairy and lectins.

Perfect Turkey Gravy Recipes: THE TASTIEST HYPOTHYROIDISM ALTERNATIVES TO THIS THANKSGIVING DAY CELEBRATION

Perfect Turkey Gravy Recipes

There are many wonderful and different ways that you can make turkey gravy. Some people like to make it with giblets or just with chicken broth or even the drippings from the turkey. I’ve even made it weeks ahead of time to save myself some kitchen craziness on Thanksgiving Day.

My favorite is an old-fashioned gravy from the pan drippings made in just seconds before setting the food on the table. A deep flavorful gravy will enhance everything on your holiday plate with a touch of savory deliciousness.

You can make the Perfect Turkey Gravy Recipe with or without drippings. All you need is butter, flour, black pepper, chicken or turkey stock and/or drippings!

There are a few things you need to keep in mind when making your Perfect Turkey Gravy Recipe.

If you are using cornstarch to thicken instead of another gluten free flour you will skip the roux-making process. You see after you’ve deglazed your roasting pan and added the stock, all you need to do is transfer about 1 cup stock mixture to a medium bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until smooth (you’ll need 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch for every cup of gravy base in the pan). Return the mixture to the gravy base in roasting pan and whisk over medium-low heat until thickened and smooth.

If you are using arrowroot keep in mind that it can’t be reheated and it’s kind of hard to use as an ingredient.  I know, some of you prefer to use it as a thickener. Proceed with gravy recipe as you would for cornstarch (skipping the roux-making process). Transfer about 1 cup gravy base to a medium bowl and whisk in arrowroot (you’ll need 2 tablespoons arrowroot for every cup of gravy base). Just before serving, return arrowroot mixture to gravy base and whisk until thickened and smooth.

If you are using King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour.  I personally like this the best. I normally use gluten free flours but once a year I can be bad and eat my gluten. This flour is used just like regular flour in a roux—a 1:1 ratio of flour to butter. Cook the flour in the butter until it’s slightly browned, then add to your stock and pan drippings and whisk away.

If you are using coconut flour or almond flour you would use the same steps as you did with the King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour. A 1:1 ratio of flour to butter. Cook the flour in the butter until it’s slightly browned, then add to your stock and pan drippings and whisk away. Don’t worry this recipe is easy and has a wonderful step by step instructions. You can’t go wrong!

My favorite Turkey Gravy

    6 cups turkey pan drippings or 6 cups chicken stock

    1/2 cup King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour (or your flour of choice)

    1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

    1/ 2 cup Kerry Gold Butter, ghee or coconut oil or non-dairy whipped butter

I prefer to use the pan drippings and add chicken stock if need be. I also like to boil the gizzards, neck, onion, celery, carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns in my chicken stock if I don’t have enough pan drippings. I cook it for about 25 minutes. Brig it to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes. 

If you decide to cook the gizzards, neck, onion, celery, carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns in the chicken stock to give it an extra sting make sure to drain it through a mesh strainer and throw away the gizzards, neck and an onion. 

Melt the butter in a sauce pan, add the flour, and stir with a whisk to combine.  Slowly add your stock as your was whisking the roux.  Season with salt and pepper to taste and yum!

After it’s cooked through, add the mixture to an oven proof dish along with the apples, chopped figs, walnuts and cranberries and combine well. Place in the over 350 degree oven for 1 hour.

Let’s talk Turkey!

The turkey is the centerpiece of most conversations this time of year. There’s no denying the importance of this Thanksgiving table’s show piece. The common rule of thumb is to allow at least 1 pound per person, plus an extra half pound per person if you want leftovers. My favorite is an organic “Pasture Raised” turkey. These birds are raised with organic standards, they taste incredible and no GMO feed is allowed. Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising turkeys but it doesn’t prohibit how they are raised, if antibiotics are injected, if animal by-products are in their feed and if there were any added solutions or injections to the animal. I look on the label for it to say “Pasture Raised” or I get to know a local farmer and speak with them on how they raise their birds and what they feed them.  If a label reads “free range” or “cage free” birds, that doesn’t meant it was raised the good old-fashioned way, outdoors in a fresh pasture.  If you purchase one with the label saying “Pasture Raised”, you know you are getting exactly that. These kind of turkey’s have a diet consisting of  plenty of nutrient-rich and antioxidant-rich green grass with the  ability to forage for worms, bugs and insects. Now if the farmer supplements with omega-3 rich flaxseed meal and vitamins and minerals that is ok, as long as these items aren’t the bulk of the turkey’s diet. It’s completely up to you if you purchase a “pasture raised” turkey or one from your local market.

TURKEY

    1 12-15 lb.  Whole turkey breast, fresh or frozen and thawed

(Adjust amount of turkey stock for larger turkey)

    2 apples, whole

    4 large shallots, peeled

    3 sprigs thyme

    1 sprig rosemary

    Bunch of fresh sage leaves

    2 celery sticks, cut into thirds

    Cheesecloth (large enough for triple layer over turkey)

    TURKEY STOCK INGREDIENTS

    1 turkey neck

    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

    Himalayan sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    2 onions, quartered

    2 carrots, chopped in thirds

    3 stalks celery, chopped in thirds

    1 tsp Himalayan sea salt

    2 tsp freshly ground pepper

    6 fresh sage leaves

    2 cups of water

 UNDER THE SKIN

3/4 cup Kerry Gold Butter, ghee or coconut oil or non-dairy whipped butter, softened

1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

(Mix this in a bowl and set aside)

    After you have cleaned your turkey form the brine mixture

    Pat the inside of your turkey dry. Season with salt and pepper.

    Stuff turkey with celery, apples and sage, thyme, shallots, rosemary. I also like to use my fingers to carefully loosen the skin around the entire bird. Take the butter mixture and rub all over the inside of the skin of the turkey. Place the butter pieces under the skin of the entire turkey. Rub the remaining butter pieces on the outside of the skin and season with salt and pepper. You can also place few sage leaves in between breast flesh and breast skin for extra seasoning.

    Place turkey in roasting pan, over a rack. Cover entire turkey with cheesecloth. Place the stock ingredients in the bottom of the pan. Roast for in a 350 degree oven until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches a minimum 165. Remember to remove the cheesecloth halfway through the cooking time, carefully remove the cheesecloth from the turkey and use the remaining butter/wine mixture to continue to baste the turkey. Always allow the turkey to rest 30 minutes before carving. If you find that the liquid is evaporating too much for the turkey stock you can always add more water or chicken stock to the bottom of the pan.  To make turkey gravy please go follow the directions that I have listed in the “sides” section of this book.

It starts with becoming aware and how your health can be influenced by many different circumstances.

This book can help you begin to understand what a Keto Autoimmune protocol is and start guiding you in the redevelopment and healing of your body. You will begin to understand how to fix your gut, strengthen your immunity and fight inflammation with an autoimmune approach.

Your health doesn’t have to be a difficult situation but a positive realization that things need to change. This new lifestyle change has many parts to it and I hope you will embrace not only the physical but the spiritual awakening.
