Cassava, yuca, or manioc tubers as you would find them in a grocery store. As you can see they are waxed. The reason for this is that the outer skin is toxic. Once you peel away the outer layer, then the rest is safe to eat. Amazing facts: these tuber vegetables, like yams, are a major food source for people in many parts of the world. Tapioca pearls and boba are produced from these tubers!

PURPOSE OF ARTICLE: Announcement. UNDERSTANDING THE NOURISHMENT RANKING SCALE USED IN THE WORK WITH 5ED CLIENTS: The real value of this work comes when you can find out through muscle testing, or dowsing (applied kinesiology) which of the elements your body needs most, and which of the elements your body needs least. The results of this muscle testing process will reveal a 'blueprint' of your own unique body chemistry. The elements can be ranked from 1, being the most nourishing, to 5, being the element that your body doesn't need much of (or will pull you out of balance the fastest). Even the plant- or fungus-based remedies that will be the most effective for your healing process will vibrationally fall under the elements that nourish your body the most. Of course, everyone still needs to eat foods from ALL of the elements in order to keep a high level of health and fitness. It's just that you will be placing an emphasis on the elements that nourish your body the most. DISCLAIMER: I am not a licensed doctor or practitioner. My Bachelor of Science degree is in Agricultural Science, and I have a Master's degree in Spiritual Science (similar to a Master of Divinity degree). My intention is to work with clients as a healing ministry, and my integrity with this work is not to "hard sell" my clients, but to guide and assist them through this process of receiving the answers inside of themselves, and to empower my clients to claim their own inner wisdom.
