The Doctrine of Signatures (For Health Conscious People)

Posted on 25 August 2009

  • You are what you eat, so eat well. A stupendous insight of civilizations past has now been confirmed by today’s investigative, nutritional sciences. They have shown that what was once called ‘The Doctrine of Signatures’ was astoundingly correct. It now contends that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to the benefit the food provides the eater. Here is just a short list of examples of Whole Food Signatures.
  • carrot

  • A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye…and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.


  • tomato

  • A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.


  • grapes

  • Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.


  • walnut

  • Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.


  • beans

  • Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.


  • celery

  • Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.


  • avocada

  • Avocados and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female – they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? … it takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them.


  • fig

  • Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.


  • sweet

  • Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.



  • olive

  • Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.



  • orange

  • Grapefruits, Oranges , and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.


  • onion

  • Onions look like body cells. Today’s research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

Jeleabi

Posted on 24 August 2009

Ingredients:

This Recipe is very much traditional south Indian recipe, mostly this recipe prepared by  all south Indian families on festivals and also special occasions like   marriage.

    jeleabi

  • 2 Cups Urad dhal
  • 1/2 teaspoon Yellow Kesari colour
  • 3 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Cups  Peanut Oil
  • 6 Cardamom pods

Method:

  • Soak Urad dhal in water for 4 hours. Wash it thoroughly and blend it to a smooth thick batter of piping consistency adding little water at a time.
  • Best blended 2/3 cups in 3 batches with food coloring.
  • For piping the batter, you can use a sturdy icing pipe with round nozzle not more than 5mm diameter.
  • Make your own (like I did): Take a thick cotton cloth 1 x 1 foot; punch a hole 3mm diameter in the center of the cloth; button stitch it to strengthen the opening either by machine or hand.
  • Make the syrup by boiling 3 cups of vegan sugar in 2 cups water in a 2 liter deep saucepan. Add split cardamom pods.
    Keep it on low fire on one burner. Leave a heavy ladle for dunking fried Jeleabi in syrup.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan on an adjoining burner on a medium flame. When the oil is hot make Jeleabi one at a time directly over the oil. Make 3-4 pieces per batch.
  • Fry  depending on whether you want your Jeleabi crispy or soggy. Remove them from the frying pan with a skewer or a ladle and dunk them in the syrup one at a time. The Jeleabi tend to float. Do not let them. With the heavy syrup ladle hold it down. In 30 seconds, they will be well soaked and ready for draining and laying out on serving tray.
  • Half fill your piping bag. Or put 1/2 cup batter in your piping cotton (stitched up as described earlier) and gather it from four corners and hold it like a piping bag.
  • Pipe over the hot oil, an inch above the surface of the oil, (Initially its very difficult to do,this recipe prepared by my Grandma all the credits goes to her only) with a steady hand, a quick 2 rings of spiraling circle closely adjoining each other (as you pipe it will try to move away); continue piping small circles in one continuous thread over the ridge formed by the spiral and finish when the small circles cover the entire ridge; break off by stopping the piping.
  • Move the Jeleabi away and pipe 2-3 more.
  • You can practice over your batter itself before trying on the hot oil.
  • Before Serving spread sugar on the Jeleabi.
