Flora Consciousness

The Emerald Phase is restrictive enough to suffice for most flora imbalances, fungal and parasitic infections. Most people will likely not need to go beyond this phase in order to fully heal. However, those with more severe health issues and those who want to speed up their healing process even further will want to look beyond the Emerald Phase to the Topaz and possibly Sapphire phases.

This phase is the fourth phase in the journey through the Flora Conscious 7 Phase Meal Plan. As with every phase, all foods mentioned are plant based and organic. No animal products are recommended for any phase.

AS A PART OF EVERY PHASE:
Make sure that your whole grains have not started going rancid. Even the slightest bit of rancidity, that no one else with a healthy microbiome would notice, can provide a food source for harmful flora and destroy your progress toward getting well. Grains, as well as oils, can easily start to turn rancid when either stored or transported in warmer weather. If possible, it’s best to stock up on whole grains and oils in the wintertime and store them in your refrigerator through the summer – either that or don’t eat them at all (see phase 6).

Wash everything thoroughly - vegetables, fruit, greens, lettuce. Rinse grains and beans at least 2 - 3 times. This is to avoid picking up mold spores and parasite eggs from organic soil which can make flora imbalances much worse. It's worth it to take the time to wash each blade of lettuce thoroughly. There are several antimicrobial washes for veggies and fruit:

• 1.5% food-grade hydrogen peroxide spray (one point five percent / one & a half percent)

• Tub of water with 1 drop of tea tree & 1 drop of oregano essential oils

• Colloidal silver

• Ozonated water bath

Choose fruits & vegetables that are not too ripe, to be sure they don't harbor mold content.

Avoid using microwaves. It's almost just as easy to use a toaster oven, your stove or a regular oven and is so much healthier.

Try to finish eating your last meal at least 2 - 4 hours before bedtime, depending on your body type - if you feel too hungry to sleep, eat 1 - 2 hours before bedtime.

See Zero Point Coal Phase for foods and other substances to never consume.

FOOD COMBINING
These guidelines won't matter as much to someone with no dysbiosis and strong digestion, although it's helpful to everyone in terms of helping our bodies utilize energy in the most efficient way. These are very helpful guidelines to follow when any digestive issues or dysbiosis are present.

Serve carbohydrates (whole grains, beans, tofu) with vegetables. About 50% of our diet should consist of vegetables.

To help digestion, drink liquids at least half an hour or more before or after meals, although 4 - 6 oz of water or other drink can be had with a meal if needed.

To help with digestion, eat raw, fresh citrus fruit or juice separately from carbohydrates (grains, beans, legumes) at least 30 minutes before or two hours after.

Fruit should be eaten by itself to avoid fermentation in the stomach. Eat 30 minutes before or 2 hours after other foods.

Refrain from eating fruit at nighttime.

Have foods that are harder to digest first, for easier digestion.

The Diamond Phase is a life-long regular diet, followed once a proper balance of flora has been achieved. After having gone through the pressure and discipline required to achieve the level of health desired, the lump of Coal has transformed into a radiant Diamond! This phase is less strict than any of the others, but flora consciousness is still maintained utilizing food combining, acid-alkaline balance, and dietary propagation of beneficial flora. While still requiring discipline, the Diamond Phase allows you to enjoy all the Earth has to offer more freely than ever before because once an optimal balance of flora is achieved, many foods that previously caused trouble now have no negative consequences. Flora consciousness is the root of optimal health, as well as the light that makes you shine!

A diamond goes through immense pressure to change from a
lump of coal into one of the most valued jewels on the planet.

Dietary restrictions require discipline, but that
discipline can transform you into the clearest, most vital, brilliant version of yourself that you can possibly be!
