Juicing
I just bought a juicer, and I figure I would start posting good ideas for juices here as well, check out this one that was sent to me by a friend:
This tonic recipe is from Lou Corona…Holistic Health Educator. When Lou was 21, he overcame many health challenges (a tumor, arthritis, asthma, severe acne etc) by adopting a vegan and total living foods lifestyle. Lou is now 55…most people think that he is about 30.
LOU’s LEMON GINGER BLAST Yields: One or more servings. Lou drinks it all…every morning!
This natural tonic is Anti-Viral, Anti-Fungal, Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Parasitic, Anti-Mucous, Anti-Fat, Anti-Carcinogenic and Tumor…Plus, it is great for the Heart and Cardiovascular System!
BLENDER INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are using a K-Tec or Vita Mix Blender (other blenders will handle it O.K….just cut produce into smaller pieces):
Place in Blender…
1 inch Fresh GINGER…only peel off the bad spots
(work up to the advanced version slowly…which is 5 to 6 inches)
2 LEMONS (peel the yellow part off and cut in half)
3 or 4 Sweet APPLES (peel skin…only if it is not organic and cut into wedges…use the core too)
1/8 tsp *90,000 H.U. CAYENNE PEPPER (work up slowly to advanced version of 1 Tablespoon)
1 ½ - 2 cups of PURIFIED WATER (add enough to make 1 ½ to 2 quarts of the finished product)
Blend the above ingredients (do not over blend…just until everything is barely processed…or you will lose nutrients). Strain with a large strainer or juice bag…and drink the liquid. The reason for getting rid of the fiber is so the “Blast” can go right into the body and start cleansing.
* The spice rack type of CAYENNE PEPPER is only about 20,000 to 40,000 H.U. Start with that…if you already have it in your cupboard. But, when you are out…the 90.000 H.U. is recommended (available at any decent health food or herb store…I try to buy it in bulk). When I use fresh hot peppers (any variety will do) I prefer the red chili pepper or once in a while (when I am in an adventurous mood)…I will use Habaneros. They are really HOT!
JUICE MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS:
Run through the juicer…
GINGER, LEMONS, APPLES.
Then add the WATER and CAYENNE PEPPER.
If you want to use fresh hot peppers…run them through the juicer first. Then juice the other ingredients.
When in season, I substitute WATERMELON or GRAPES for the APPLES. When I use WATERMELON, I do not add any water. If I use GRAPES, then I cut down on the water. My friend Lindsey loves to use GRAPEFRUIT instead of APPLES. I have not tried it yet. On a few occasions, I have used ORANGES in place of the APPLES and the LEMONS.
I try to make sure we drink the “Blast” every morning. When a day or two goes by without it, I notice a major difference in the way I feel (less energy and not as “in tune”)…big time! Sometimes I drink the whole thing. But, most of the time our family shares one or two batches. If I have been exposed to an illness that is “going around” or I feel that a cold or flu is “trying to get me” (like a scratchy throat, sneezing a lot or burning sensation in my nose)…I drink it all day and nothing else except lots of purified water. Then I don’t get sick!
