Tarantula Care basics:

I've gotten tired of typing out "beginner tips" when people ask for them in Facebook groups, so I'm posting this as a resource to anyone who wants to get a tarantula but needs a place to start with researching. Please research elsewhere as well and be aware that there are many people who are successful at keeping tarantulas that may disagree on certain husbandry topics. This information is based off of the research I've done and how I care for my tarantulas. I may not be an expert with decades of experience, but I am a science minded individual who did a lot of research before getting my first tarantula and who has continued to learn each day I keep these beautiful animals as pets.

Temperatures-

No heat lamp, no heat pad. Fine at normal room temperature. If you're not cold neither is your tarantula. If your house is kinda cold get a space heater for the room you keep your tarantula in. Between 60-80F is fine for most tarantulas. Slightly below or slightly higher won't likely hurt them. If your house regularly goes below 60F then consider getting a space heater.

Enclosures-

Don't buy an enclosure until you know the size of the tarantula youre getting. You could be investing in a huge tank when all you're going to need for the next 5 years is a Tupperware or critter keeper. Give your tarantula at least 2x their legspan in all demensions of the enclosure. So a 2in. legspan tarantula needs at least a 4x4in enclosure minimum. Too large an enclosure may mean you struggle to find your tarantula or that your tarantula has a higher risk of falling and getting hurt. You can be generous with space without going overboard. For example a 3wx4Lx2h in. display case is a bit large for a 3/4 in. sling however it's much more appropriate than putting a tiny sling in a huge enclosure. Small slings are often kept in 4oz or 6oz deli cups and that is completely fine for a few months. Remember that you don't have to spend big bucks on glass enclosures. Often acrylic and plastic is more ideal for providing proper ventilation anyways. Explore stores like the Container Store for ideas. You can use anything from display cases to clear shoe boxes. Invest in a drill and get some 1/16th inch drill bits (that's what i use on sling enclosures, you can use a larger bit for bigger spiders).

You should know whether or not your tarantula is terrestrial (lives on or near the ground), arboreal (lives in trees), or fossorial (lives primarily underground). I won't discuss fossorials in depth in this post because I don't have any first hand experience, however the biggest difference between fossorial and terrestrial is you need to give them A LOT of substrate. Get them a tall enclosure and fill it most of the way with substrate. Most "beginner species" aren't fossorials so it's unlikely you'll be getting one soon unless you get an Aphomapelma seemanni. Tom Moran has a husbandry video on Aphonopelma seemanni if that's the species you're interested in getting.

Terrestrials should have at least enough substrate to burrow if they choose, so at least one leg span if possible. Do not give a terrestrial more than 2x their legspan between the surface of the substrate and the lid of their enclosure. They have very fragile abdomens and can die if they fall from even small heights. A terrestrial enclosure should be wider/longer than it is high.

Arboreals need an enclosure that is taller than it is wide. I like the AMAC boxes sold at the Container Store for slings, however other options include clear pill jars, plastic jars, and file boxes. Be creative. There are also glass exoterra enclosures that people like, however I personally don't like them because they don't give you enough cross ventilation and tarantulas can get their feet caught on the mesh/screen lids. I prefer something with cross ventilation (something where i can add a bunch of holes in the sides). Arboreals don't need that much substrate. Just provide enough to cover the bottom of the enclosure, help keep anything that you may place on the bottom of the enclosure in place, and absorb moisture.

Water and moisture-

You'll see some care sheets say that certain genera and species such as "Theraposa stirmi" (which I would not recommend for a beginner) need "high humidity". What they really need is wet substrate. "High humidity" species need their substrate to be soaked down more frequently or more generously. Many "beginner" terrestrial species are arid species (they live in drier climates). Nearly all Brachypelma, Grammostola, and Aphomapelma can be kept in the same type of enclosures. Give them dry substrate and a water dish, and overflow the dish a little when you fill it. Do not put rocks or a sponge in the dish. Tarantulas cannot drink from a sponge and rocks and gravel simply provide more surface area for mold to grow.

Small slings do not necessarily need a water dish. While they are small tarantulas lack the waxy curticle on their exoskeletons that keeps water in. Because they lack the cuticle they can get moisture from their substrate. Keep generally all terrestrial slings an moderately damp substrate and watch for mold growth.

Substrate-

There are a number of popular options including ecoearth (or another brand of coconut fiber substrate) and organic potting soil. Some people mix vermiculite in with their substrate but vermiculite shouldn't be used alone as a substrate. If you use potting soil ensure it's only soil and doesn't have added fertilizer or chemicals. Topsoil is heavy so doesnt need to be packed down. If you choose ecoearth or coconut fiber, it comes often in dense bricks. Add water to these bricks and pull them apart. You may need to do this ahead of time so you can let the coconut fiber dry off before you assemble the enclosure. Coconut fiber is loose and fluffy when you put it in the enclosure. Pat it down firmly with your hands otherwise the tarantula won't like walking on the substrate. Coconut fiber, topsoil, or specially designed tarantula substrates are all acceptable. Substrates NOT to use: sand, aquarium gravel, woodchips, mulch, pure vermiculite. The goal with a substrate is to provide a maxtrix that the tarantula won't mind walking on that will hold moisture and hold the shape of their burrows.

Tank accessories-

Hides- The most important accessory besides a water dish (which I recommend for all tarantulas besides tiny slings) for a terrestrial tarantula is a hide. This can be a plastic hide bought from a pet store, a piece of corkbark, flat or curved driftwood, a broken flower pot, or half a cup. Be creative. They can be as cheap as you want. Just be sure there aren't any super sharp edges. In a pinch you can make a hide from a plastic soda bottle. Cut out a portion of it and CAREFULLY use a lighter to curve the piece of plastic and melt the edges so that's theyre not sharp. I have used this technique a number of times. These hides then should be partially buried so that they are dark inside, but the opening is visible so they tarantula can use it as a starter burrow. Cork bark is very popular for hides and can be bought from a pet store or online. A variety of other hides can also be bought from pet stores. Anything that's half a cylinder and open on both sides will function well as a hide for your tarantula. A hide can be skipped with super small slings but should be provided once the enclosure is large enough. For slings I've used short parts of powdered drink tubes that I bury with one end exposed on the surface. You'd be amazed what junk you can cut up and use in an enclosure.

Tall anchor points- for arboreal tarantulas they need something that reaches close to the top of their enclosure so they have something that they can climb and use to anchor webbing. This can be a piece of corkbark on end, a pcv pipe, a log, silk plants, or anything! Corkbark and silk plants are the popular choices but you can use a 2x4 (nontreated wood) and paint sticks if you feel so inclined.

Low anchor points- all tarantulas can web, although some will do so more than others. A number of species, especially the popular "green bottle blue" are heavy webbers and should be provided with some anchor points even though they're terrestrial (even though some may argue sort of otherwise). These anchor points can simply be fake plants or something. Protip: fishtank plants are cheaper than terrarium plants and work just as well. Even cheaper are silk plants from craft stores. Just rinse and pat dry any tank accessories to remove dust from the store just in case. All tarantulas can benefit from some anchor points in their enclosures. Also adding a silk plant or two looks nice.

Food-

A tarantula can be fed practically any sort of feeder insect from meal worms to roaches to crickets. Meal worms, superworms, and dubia roaches will burrow if you let them, so before offering them to your tarantula you should pinch the feeder's head so that it is disabled but not entirely dead. Crickets are fine but can bite, so don't leave them unattended with a tarantula. Red runners (B. lateralis) are good but beware that they can infest your home if they escape, so use caution. Hornworms can make an occasional nutrional treat, however only use store bought worms. If hornworms have eaten tomato plants it can make them toxic to anything that eats them. On that note: NEVER feed wild caught prey of any kind. Wild caught feeders may carry parasites such as nematodes that can be passed to your tarantula and may eventually kill them. Purchase feeders from a pet store, online supplier, local breeders (some people will breed colonies of feeders), or from vendors at an expo.

Feed your tarantula a prey item around the size of their abdomen once every week or two if they will eat. If you don't have larger prey items you can feed them a couple at once. If they stop eating do not be alarmed, they might just be full, or they may be in premolt. Some species can fast for up to a year, so you tarantula is not going to die from self inflicted starvation. If it wants to eat it will. If it's not eating then remove the prey and try again in a week or two. If your tarantula is really fat, perhaps just wait to try feeding until it gets skinnier or molts.

Molting-

Tarantulas have an exoskeleton which does not grow with them. Because of that, like all arthropods they will molt, where they shed their old exoskeleton. They will likely stop eating. Premolt, or the period where they may stop eating and perhaps become more elusive or even close themselve off in their burrow, may last anywhere from a week to months, to a year in severe cases. Sometimes they will get duller in color during premolt, their abdomens may get black and shiny, and they may lose hair on their abdomens. If they refuse food and/or seal off the entrance to their burrrow, then leave them be, continue to fill their water dish, and wait to offer food again until they start wandering around their enclosure again.

When a tarantula molts it usually flips over on it's back. DO NOT TOUCH IT. They are very fragile during and after a molt. A molt can take anywhere from half an hour to 8 hours depending on the size of the tarantula. Do not intervene, just make sure they have water and leave them alone. After they have left their old exoskeleton they will be very vulnerable. The new exoskeleton is very soft and takes awhile to harden. Wait 1-2 weeks before you feed them. Best to go on the side of caution and wait 2 weeks if you're in doubt. What's important here is you wait until their new fangs have fully hardened and turned shiny and dark black. After 2 weeks it should be safe to feed. Remember, your tarantula is fine going awhile without eating, waiting an extra week or two isn't neglectful. Just keep its water dish filled and it will be ok.

Useful tools-

Feeding tongs: a must have. They can be purchased at a pet store or online. You'll need them for feeding and for removing things from the enclosure.

Paintbrush or makeup brush: a soft and clean paintbrush or makeup brush can be used to gently touch the back legs of a tarantula and coax it where you need it to go.

Plastic straw: just rinse and save one after a trip to a fast food place. Used for the same use as the paintbrush, but more useful if you have a tarantula that tries to bite (a plastic straw will not hurt their fangs if they bite it)

Wooden chopsticks: I don't see this on many lists but I've found chopsticks can be useful for pushing prey around if they're "playing dead" or for cleaning an enclosure (once again the wood is safer for fangs than metal tongs, however still attempt to avoid having your tarantula bite the chopsticks).

Plastic spoon: i guess it doesnt have to be plastic but thats what i use. Just keep one around. Its good for packing down substrate in enclosures that are too small to reach your hands into, and for digging starter burrows when assembling an enclosure.

Spray bottle: get a clean plastic water bottle for filling water dishes, misting, and wetting substrate. You can buy an empty spray bottle with an adjustable stream from Walmart for a dollar or two. Look near the household cleaning supplies.

Catch cups: collect a variety of clear or translucent plastic cups and bowls that you can poke air holes in. Always have a few catch cups and some flat pieces of cardboard that can cover them around when you open an enclosure. Should a tarantula escape, wait for it to stop moving, place the cup over it, and gently slide cardboard underneath. I bought a pack of clear solo cups a year ago and those are what I most commonly use. Empty containers from shredded cheese work well too and keep those lids in case you want to use them as sling enclosures later on.

Pocket knife: not everyone does this, but I have one old pocket knife that is my feeder insect knife. Sometimes you need to cut mealworms in half for smaller slings, that is the knife I use. Afterwards I wipe the blade off and close it and keep it with the rest of my tarantula tools.

You will discover what tools you find work for you after you have been caring for a tarantula for awhile. At the bare minimum get feeding tongs, a plastic straw, and some catch cups.

Conclusions, disclaimers, and further reading:

This guide is from my personal experience and research, however my opinions may vary from those of other keepers and hobbyists. This advice is based off of the care I provide for my tarantulas however you may find different care works better for you. I highly recommend you read through Tom Moran's beginner guides https://tomsbigspiders.com/beginner-guides/

Browse the forums on arachnoboards. There are many good youtube channels out there as well but some are more informative than others. I highly recommend Tom Moran for husbandry information. He may not be the most exciting and attention grabbing channel, but he has the most comprehensive and well phrased husbandry information than any other single person I've come across.

Each individual species is different and you should research the care and temperment of your particular species, but I encourage you not to trust traditional "care sheets" as many are misleading. I recommend using Tom Moran's content as a resource and asking questions on arachnoboards and other forums if you have further questions. Good luck and welcome to the hobby!

I am SO excited about this product!!!!! The American diet is extremely deficient in Magnesium and it is suspected that nearly everyone needs more magnesium. It is needed for 300 biochemical reactions in the body! The interesting thing about this mineral is that it is more readily absorbed by the skin than internal supplements. I make my own pure magnesium oil and use this as a base for this lotion. Only a small amount is needed. I prefer putting it on my feet, then covering them with socks before bed. A grape sized amount will offer approx. 500 mg. of magnesium. There are so many AMAZING benefits to Magnesium and you will feel the effects immediately. Just Google them and see! Again, I'm so excited about this product and I know you will be too! Comes in a 6oz. GLASS jar with white plastic lid. This magnesium lotion is nicely blended and easy to apply. Not chunky or chalky. To the magnesium chloride oil I add Organic Avocado Oil, Organic Shea, Organic Coconut Oil and Local Beeswax. All of these items are great at keeping your skin hydrated, your mind strong and happy knowing that all items are sustainable and pesticide free. What others are saying: "This product is a miraculous cure and relief for my restless leg syndrome. I read about this new product on the seller's Facebook page and I was eager to try it. For a little over a week, I have been rubbing it on my feet at night and whatever is left on my hands is massaged into my legs. From the first application, my discomfort has been eliminated, leading me to believe I do have a diet that lacks magnesium and this lotion is the exact help I needed. Please continue making this lotion and promoting it to help others. I am grateful!!!" "I love this lotion. My husband usually is bothered by my lotions at night, but the smell is light enough that he has been using it too. Very thick & moisturizing." "I have never had much trouble getting to sleep. I like to think of myself as a master sleeper. however, I do have trouble getting good sleep. My mind wanders throughout the night, I get jittery, wiggly, and wake up worrying. this lotion feels like its made for kings and queens. I sleep so deep and feel the difference when https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DwoD_HFKm/?igshid=17hhj697w4iv7

Top 10 Best Yogurt Making Machines in 2019

Living a healthy lifestyle is not just about working out. The food we put into our bodies can make a huge difference. Over the past few years we saw more and more people buying appliances to make their own bread, cheese and even yogurt. Out of all of them, yogurt seems to be the most accessible. Making yogurt at home is easy, inexpensive and it barely takes any time. On top of all this, yogurt makers are also very inexpensive and there are plenty to choose from.

The way yogurt makers work is very simple. A large unit is used to maintain an internal temperature constant so that the milk would start fermentation. A starter is needed or a bit of yogurt so that the fermentation process will transform the raw milk as well. The most effective way to make yogurt is to use small recipients. Yogurt makers that have one large recipient have a harder time maintaining the same temperature inside. It will be warmer towards the walls and colder near the middle. For our list we selected mostly yogurt makers that have smaller recipients for the yogurt.

Best Yogurt Making Machines in 2019

This makes it much easier to make small batches and to store them properly. At the same time, it is much easier to make multiple types of yogurt at the same time. For the sake of diversity, we also included a few yogurt makers that make the yogurt in a large bucket. With all these things in mind let us get right into our list of the top 10 best yogurt making machines in 2019.

10. Gourmia GYM1620 Digital Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Gourmia GYM1620 digital yogurt maker is a simple device with a low price tag. It was made to be simple, easy to use and deliver delicious yogurt that takes almost no effort to make. The design is simple and the kit includes everything needed to start making yogurt at home.

Pros

7 individual jars with lids

Simple to operate with just a start/stop button and a timer button

Free recipe book included

Cons

Instructions seem to be incorrect. It might be better to just ignore them completely

The fact that the yogurt maker comes with 7 jars with individual lids helps a lot when it comes to making smaller batches. With the recipe book included it is possible to make different types of yogurt at once. Also, the included lids will help when it comes to storing each batch in the fridge.

One odd thing about the yogurt maker is the fact that the instructions are wrong. The way they say in the book to start or set the timer seems to be wrong or maybe for a different model. On the other hand the yogurt maker is very intuitive to use even without proper instructions.

9. Euro Cuisine 2qt Yogurt and Greek Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Euro Cuisine is a brand that inspires trust due to the quality of their products. Their 2qt yogurt maker is a good pick for the ones that really enjoy yogurt. It can make large batches at once and it even works with soy milk. The yogurt maker is very easy to use and it is BPA free which is a major plus.

Pros

Can make batches of 2 qt at once

Completely BPA free

Easy to use with just a timer and an on/off button

Cons

Due to the size of the glass jar, the heat is not distributed evenly inside

Large recipients such as the ones used for the Euro Cuisine yogurt maker have a big problem with proper heat distribution. The only workaround is to mix the yogurt from time to time. If it is not mixed, it will cause some of the milk to remain liquid while the rest turns into yogurt.

In terms ease of use, the yogurt maker is a straight forward device. All it takes is to set the timer and turn it on. Inside the box the manufacturers included a stainless steel thermometer and a cotton bag that can be used to make Greek yogurt.

8. Aroma Housewares AYM-606 8-Cup Digital Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Aroma Housewares AYM-606 comes as a cheap and reliable yogurt maker. It has a different design when compared with other yogurt makers but for most part it works quite well. It may not look much in terms of design but the yogurt it makes is as natural as yogurt can ben.

Pros

Includes 8 BPA free individual cups with their own lid

Digital timer and automatic shut-off

Easy to use and just as easy to clean

Cons

Build quality is a bit disappointing

Despite all the good things that can be said about the model there is one big issue and that is the build quality. It looks and feels very cheap. It is entirely made out of plastic with physical buttons and a small display for the timer. Even the lid is made out of a plastic material.

Looking at what the yogurt maker offers, the device does have a decent capacity. It can make up to 8 cups of yogurt at once. All 8 cups are BPA free and come with lids that completely seal them. They are dishwasher safe and they can be stored in a fridge.

7. Cuisipro Donvier Electronic Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

The Cuisipro Donvier yogurt maker is one of the smallest models of its type. It has a decent capacity and can make 8 cups of yogurt at once. The shape of the yogurt maker is a bit more ergonomic which helps save counter space in the kitchen.

Pros

Ergonomic design, takes very little space in the kitchen

Comes with 8 individual cups with lids

Easy to use with just a timer button and an on/off button

Cons

Build quality is not great. The plastic feels cheap

The Cuisipro is a decent device and can make rather decent yogurt. The kit includes 8 individual cups that are BPA free. All of them have lids and on top of them, the yogurt maker has a see-trough cover to help maintain a constant temperature inside. It also features an automatic alarm that will trigger a beeping sound when there are 10 minutes left.

What some might find as a con is the build quality. There are a lot of yogurt makers that are mostly made out of plastic but the Cuisipro simply looks and feels cheaper than most of them. It works as it is but the build quality could be a lot better.

6. Euro Cuisine YM260 Yogurt And Greek Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Euro Cuisine YM260 is a popular choice for the ones that are looking for a large yogurt maker. This small automatic machine can make about 2 quarts of yogurt in less than a day. It has a large capacity container that is BPA free and comes with a low price tag.

Pros

Large 2 quart capacity

Low price tag, good build quality

Includes a serving bowl, steel thermometer, cotton bag for Greek yogurt and a small recipe book

Cons

Due to the large 2 quart capacity bowl, the heat is not distributed perfectly even

Making yogurt with the Euro cuisine is surely easy. The 2 quart capacity means that it can make a lot of yogurt in no time but the fact that it has issues with head distribution can be a problem. The only way around this is to mix the yogurt once or twice during the process.

Build quality is decent as it feels well-made and despite using a lot of plastic, it is BPA free. The side timer makes it much easier to set how long should the yogurt maker run while the see trough lid offers a great view of the progress.

5. Oster CKSTYM1012 Mykonos Greek Digital Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Oster CKSTY1012 digital yogurt maker was designed to be the perfect option for the ones that are thinking about a healthier diet. It is a simple yogurt maker with a good build quality and a decent number of accessories that make it easy to have both small and large batches.

Pros

Includes 6 7 ounce glass jars, a large 1 quart container with a lid and a Greek yogurt strainer

Simple design with a digital display, timer button and start/stop button

Large see trough lid

Cons

It is a big device and will take a lot of counter space

Size does matter at least in a crowded kitchen. The Oster CKSTY1012 is a large yogurt maker. It will take a decent amount of counter space and there is no way around this. There are smaller models but the ones that are considering the Oster should think about how big it is.

The kit itself contains a few helpful items to make yogurt. Unlike other models it does not have just small glass jars. It also has a large 1 quart container that can also be used ot make yogurt. It also comes with a strainer to make Greek yogurt and it makes it possible to produce different types of yogurt at once.

4. Dash Bulk Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Dask bulk yogurt maker is an interesting model that works surprisingly well despite the fact that it has just one large 1 quart container. It is very compact and extremely easy to use. All it takes is to turn it on and wait for the magic to happen. It is not perfect but it is surely one of the better yogurt makers in our list.

Pros

Large 1 quart container

Very compact form factor with a stylish glossy design

Just an on/off button and a glass see-trough lid

Removable parts are dishwasher safe

Cons

Heating element placed only on the bottom and has no thermostat

The placement of the heating element at the bottom of the recipient is not a very good design choice. This means that the bottom will be much hotter than the top side. The yogurt will need to be mixed half way through the process in order to obtain a decent quart of yogurt.

Some of the strong points of the yogurt maker are the design, price tag and build quality. It is actually a very stylish designed yogurt maker with its glossy finish and blue elements. The price tag makes it a rather affordable yogurt maker while the 1 quart capacity recommends it to pretty much anyone.

3. Dash Greek Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Dash Greek Yogurt Maker is one of their most popular models due to the low price tag, design and reliability. Despite having a bottom heating element, the heat distribution is surprisingly good which helps it make great yogurt every single time.

Pros

2 quart capacity with 2 BPA free containers included in the kit and a strainer

Timer control, start/stop and LCD screen for the timer

Bonus recipe book included in the kit

Cons

Poorly written user manual

Many might not think about it but the manual is important at least for a yogurt maker. The manual that comes with the Dash Greek yogurt maker is very poorly written. There are no clear instructions on how to set the timer based on the yogurt type and this can be a rather big problem for a beginner.

In terms of quality as a whole, the yogurt maker is very compact, stylish and easy to use. It is made mostly out of plastic with a see-trough lid and with all the buttons placed at the bottom. The large containers included come with their own lids and they are dishwasher safe.

2. Euro Cuisine YMX650 Automatic Digital Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

The Euro Cuisine YMX650 manages to make yogurt making at home very easy. It has a simple design with only two buttons and a small LCD display. The large see trough lid allows the user to see in real time how the yogurt is made while the included glass jars allows for different types of yogurt to be made at the same time.

Pros

Good build quality with a brushed stainless steel enclosure and a see-trough lid

Easy to use

Rather compact as it takes very little counter space

Can make yogurt in as little as 6 hours

Cons

Nothing worth mentioning

Having 7 6 ounce glass jars makes it easier to have smaller batches of yogurt. They also help with better heat distribution which in turn ensures better yogurt. The yogurt maker includes also lids for the jars that are stored inside the big lid of the yogurt maker.

Using it is very straight forward. All that it takes is to know how long to set the timer and just push the start button. The model is made out of metal and plastic which gives it a significantly superior build quality when compared with other yogurt makers.

1. Cuisinart CYM-100 Electronic Yogurt Maker

Check price on Amazon

Cuisinart CYM-100 yogurt maker has been one of the most appreciated models for its quality and ease of use. The design and built quality contribute to its appeal but the even heat distribution is the most important factor when it comes to proper fermentation and high quality yogurt production.

Pros

Can make 50 ounces of yogurt per batch

Automatic cooling feature that kicks in when the timer finishes the fermentation cycle

Stainless steel construction with glass containers and BPA free parts

Cons

Nothing worth mentioning

The Cuisinart CYM is one of the few models that have an automatic cooling feature. In fact, most models do not even have a manual cooling option. It will bring the yogurt to a chilling temperature once the user set timer expires.

One major aspect that contributes to the quality of the yogurt is the even heat distribution. Also using BPA free parts and a robust construction makes the yogurt maker one of the few premium models. This also means that it is a bit more expensive.

What Matters When Choosing A Yogurt Maker?

Yogurt makers are in fact very simple machines. There is no magic technology that makes yogurt. All it takes is heat, an enclosed environment and patience. The models in our list provide the basic requirements to make yogurt but some tend to fail while others make perfect yogurt every single time. Here are some things to look out for:

Is automatic cooling worth spending extra? The answer to this is yes and no. It is a feature that is nice to have but it is not required. Yogurt can be cooled jus by turning the yogurt maker off and leaving the jars at room temperature. The automatic cooling option only speeds up the cooling process as warm yogurt should never be placed in a fridge.

Small jars or a large container? The problem with large containers is heat distribution. Since almost all yogurt makers have a bottom heating element, large containers fail to distribute heat evenly this they are too hot at the bottom and not hot enough at the top. Small jars are much more efficient when it comes to heat distribution.

Parasite Plus Flush

Parasite Plus Flush w/ The Liver & Gallbladder Cleanse

Why on earth would you want to cleanse, flush, or detox anything?

As you eliminate decrepit waste matter from your cells, your body has to remove it from the body. Many of us are flawed in our ability to remove these toxins from our body. This leads to swelling, inflammation, or malfunction of various parts of the body. Following a healthy lifestyle and practicing regular cleansing patterns helps to drive this filth away from our life; allowing us to heal, grow and thrive.

Parasites

If you’ve made it to my site, then there is a good chance you’ve heard about parasites at this point. If you haven’t, it’s a can of “worms” that most people are fascinated to open. Parasites come in many forms and from many sources.

Before you jump to the conclusion that you don’t have any, let me pop that bubble and tell you we all have parasites. Even those of us who eat super healthy and cleanse often. Everyone has some parasites. If you’ve ever eaten meat, dairy, eggs, fish, walked around barefoot, pet an animal, swam in a lake or stream, or even drank fresh spring water then you too have parasites.

We can often live with these vagrants for years of life without ever knowing. More common parasites will cause poor digestion, fatigue, insatiable hunger, cravings for junk food, or many other conditions and diseases. When symptoms become unbearable we can safely turn to the following cleanse to drastically reduce the amount of critters in our body.

Liver & Gallbladder

These two organs serve to remove harmful toxins from the body and encourage healthful digestion into the bowels. As we consume acidic foods, our body protects the vital organs by wrapping this acid in calcium. Then these calcium deposits collect all throughout the body. One of the most overlooked places for these deposits is in the gallbladder.

When the gallbladder is clogged with these calcium deposits, it can become inflamed and/or malfunction. This leads to poor digestion, no hunger, weight gain, or even liver failure. Often this is when many doctors will jump at the chance to remove your gallbladder.

Many people opt to just cleanse the liver and gallbladder and skip the parasite flush. You can do either cleanse alone but I prefer to combine these two. When you detox parasites alone, you may not eliminate them easily. However, when you follow the instructions below, you will kill much of the moochers and flush their remains out with many calcium deposits.

The Procedure - A Three Week Process

Day 1 - Start with a teaspoon of Herbal Parasite Syrup in the morning. Try to maintain a clean diet for the whole 3 week cleanse. Mucus forming foods feed these suckers, so let’s starve them to improve the efficacy of the cleanse. Before bed we take another teaspoon of Herbal Parasite Syrup.

Day 2-4 - Take 1 tsp of Herbal Parasite Syrup morning and evening.

Day 5-7 - Take no parasite syrup, but maintain the clean eating.

Day 8-11 - Take 1 tsp of Herbal Parasite Syrup morning and evening.

Day 12-14 - Take no parasite syrup, but maintain the clean eating.

Day 15-18 - Take 1 tsp of Herbal Parasite Syrup morning and evening. Also drink 1 whole quart of organic, not from concentrate apple juice. (If you can’t tolerate apple juice you may substitute cranberry juice, but maintain the same juice for the whole cleanse.) These juices contain malic acid which will help to soften the gallstones and dissolve stagnant bile.

Day 19 - Drink 1 whole quart of organic, not from concentrate apple juice. No more parasite syrup is required today or hereafter.

Day 20 - Drink 1 whole quart of organic, not from concentrate apple juice. Today you must stick to a light, healthy, preferably raw diet. NO processed sugars, meats, dairy, fats, or oils should be eaten. After 2pm no food should be eaten.

6pm - Drink a 6-8oz glass of distilled water with 1 tsp of added epsom salt. Drink no or little water directly after this glass for about 30 minutes, then you may drink as normal.

8pm - Drink another 6-8oz glass of distilled water with 1 tsp of added epsom salt.

9:30pm - If you are at this time still constipated or haven’t had a movement for over 24 hours, then you may consider taking a cold catnip tea (or even just water) enema to break the bowels free.

9:45pm - Add 6oz of grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed is ideal, but an organic not from concentrate bottled juice will work) and 4oz of the best and freshest olive oil available to a mason jar. Put lid on the jar and shake well until the mix is well blended.

10pm - Stand next to your bed and drink the mix that you just assembled 10-15 minutes earlier. Drink the mix within 5 minutes or less. Lie down right away. Make sure all lights and distractions are turned off. Lie on your back with your head propped up with a pillow or on your right side with knees pulled towards your chest. Do Not Move (or even speak) for 20 minutes. Go to sleep if possible. Should you feel the need to go to the bathroom at any point, don’t wait, just go! Also a little advice: If you think you need to fart, DON’T! Go to the bathroom.

Day 21 - 6am (or upon wakening after 6am) - Drink another 6-8oz glass of distilled water with 1 tsp of added epsom salt.

8am - Drink a final 6-8oz glass of distilled water with 1 tsp of added epsom salt.

10am - You may begin drinking fresh pressed juices. I usually prefer to finish the rest of the grapefruit juice I bought or made.

11am - You may begin eating fresh fruits

12 noon - You may begin eating lighter cooked foods

6pm-midnight - You should be finished with the flush and be able to return to a normal healthy diet and lifestyle.

Gallstones are typically light green and smaller than a pea. However they can range from white to dark brown and be as big as a inch across. This isn’t common in my experience. You may feel nauseous, achy, sick, or tired during the last day, but this will pass usually within a day. Parasites will flush out with the stones and other liver debris. They range vastly in shapes, sizes, and colors. Please feel free to do your own research on these as there are too many to list at this time.

After any cleanse I do my best to maintain a mucusless diet as long as possible. You just detoxed, so why the hurry to retox? This keeps anyone of the several thousand parasite eggs left behind from growing out of control. I suggest doing this cleanse 3 or 4 times per year but making sure to keep 6 weeks or more between each cleanse.

Doing all of this and maintaining digestive health can help you slim down, boost energy, and stay healthy all year round.
