Cleanse the Body with Honey and Cinnamon
Boil 1 cup of water. Pour the water over 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cover the mixture and let it steep for 30 minutes. Then, while cool, add 2 teaspoons of raw honey. Never add the honey when the mixture is hot because the heat will destroy the enzymes and other nutrients in the raw honey. Drink half of the mixture right before going to bed. Cover and refrigerate the other half of the mixture. In the morning drink the other half cold or at room temperatuer.
Do not add anything else to this recipe. It is only effective on an empty stomach, primarily at night. The cinnamon and honey will have a cleansing effect in the digestive tract, cleaning out parasites and other fungus and bacteria that slow down your digestion and cause a toxic build up. While doing this cleanse, if the toxins being released cause any unpleasant side effects, cut back on how much you use or take a break. One of the pleasant side effects can be a feeling of more energy.
Potatoes with a Green Tint
Potatoes may contain a chemical called solanine. When potatoes have a green tint to their skin, they may actually have a sunburn. Potatoes grow underground and if they are exposed to light, they develop a green tint due to chlorophyll production which normally happens in the stems and the leaves, but not in the tubers. The chlorophyll is harmless, but the light exposure also causes the potatoes to develop a higher level of an irritating chemical called solanine which causes the potatoes to taste bitter.
Some people claim to be sensitive to solanine and believe they may feel increased arthritis type pain after eating potatoes with a green tint. Although the association between arthritis pain and solanine from dietary sources remains unproven, research does show that solanine may adversely affect the cells that make up the lining of the intestines and could possibly irritate inflammatory bowel disorders. To avoid solanine, don't buy potatoes that have green skin. Store potatoes in a dark place in your pantry or kitchen.

Ginger Tea
Ginger tea is usually used to help digestion and relieve nausea but it can be used to boost the immune system and ward off colds, sore throat and the flu. Ginger tea bags are available in health food stores but if you want to make it from scratch it's easy to make. Just heat 4 cups of water in a sauce pan. While it is heating peel a two-inch piece of fresh ginger root and cut it into thin slices. Once the water boils, add the ginger, cover it with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. After it has simmered strain it and it is ready to drink. You may add honey and lemon to suit your taste but know that ingesting sugar depresses the immune system. Artificial sweeteners are not recommended.
