Lena Winston Testimonial

I signed up for this class at the last minute and even hesitated since I only recently moved back to the area, wasn’t settled yet, and other nutrition studies and work on my plate. Betsy encouraged me to dive in and I’m only so glad she did. I have been interested in raw foods for several years, been reading about it, doing some internal cleansing, and trying my hand at a few new raw dishes.

Even though I am an experienced cook, I felt intimidated by the new methods and chemistry of raw food preparation. Even with all my books and online resources, I’m a kinesthetic learner and really did need hands-on experience to learn. Betsy provided this through live demos, her teachings in the class, and in her internship (which I did). She is very generous and shares so many resources and much information. She also made it all seem easy and approachable.

pH Chart

pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, numerically equal to 7 for neutral solutions, increasing with increasing alkalinity and decreasing with increasing acidity. The pH scale commonly in use ranges from 0 to 14.

To test your pH, buy a roll of pH paper online. Test and write down your pH once a week or at least at the beginning and end of the course.

  1.  First thing in the morning, preferably after 6 hours of sleep, get a test strip or tear off a three-inch piece of paper from the roll.
    • Testing with urine: Either urinate directly on the paper or collect urine in a cup and dip the paper into the urine in the cup. Please note that first-morning urine (after 6 hours of sleep without urinating) is the most valuable pH reading according to our research.
    • Testing with saliva (if you can’t go 6 hours without urinating): Rinse your mouth with water, spit it out into the sink, and spit again. Now, collect some saliva in a spoon and moisten the paper in the saliva. Do not eat, drink or brush your teeth before the test.
  2. As the test paper is moistened, it will take on color. The color relates to the acid or alkaline state of your urine or saliva and ranges from yellow to dark blue. Match the color of your test strip with the chart provided on the back of your test kit. A number below 7 means that your urine is on the acid side. The lower the number, the more acidic the condition. Seven indicates a neutral state, neither acid nor alkaline.
  3. The ideal urine reading should be between 6.5 to 7.5, and saliva readings should be between 7.0 to 7.5, with an occasional lower (more acidic) reading.
  4. Keep the tape roll wrapped up so humidity does not ruin it.

 

Class Guidelines

Eat to Thrive Class Guidelines

  1. Focus, commit, and follow-through. Remember that “Winners never quit and Quitters never win”
  2. Respect.
    • Listen to the person speaking. If you have a question or comment, write it down and ask it after the person has finished speaking. 
    • If you are unable to attend class, let Betsy know at least 24 hours in advance so she doesn’t prepare for you. 
    • If you are detained, TEXT Betsy’s cell phone 617-835-2913. Enter class quietly and stay to exchange your DVDs after class. 
    • Turn off your cell phones
  3. Anonymity – what is shared here that’s confidential, stays here
  4. Be positive, unlimited, and unattached – avoid negativity, especially saying “I can’t”
  5. Support – we are all here to not only heal ourselves but to heal the planet. Be compassionate. Remember that love is the key
