Because i have spent many years eating seasonally, normally this time of year i usually put my Matstone juicer away until mid spring when its liver time, time to clear the liver.

But since following Dr Vonderplantiz work and the primal way of eating i am this year for the first time keeping it in a prime spot on my kitchen counter to use everyday.

I am going to continue to have a green juice everyday full of enzymes and nutrients not bound up to any cellulose.

Since realising that when we eat greens the cellulose and natural pesticides in plants prevent us from fully utilising any of the vital nutrients and perhaps as little as 30 %, i have stopped relying on them to  provide my daily quota.

I get most of my nutrients now from eating a primal diet rich in eggs, raw milk, fish and bone broth.

But i also want some alkalinity and some raw enzyme rich nutrients to flood my system.

This is where green juices come in…..

As long as i am regularly sweating so that i am clearing my liver of any debris pushed out of the cells as a result of flooding my system with raw alkaline juice i should be ok.

Its only dangerous when someone who may have a dis-ease is not helping their detoxification organ clear any waste. This is the Gerson therapy of pushing alkaline juices into the body but then pulling the residual waste that floods the liver

I call it the push/pull

Sweating does this by taking the load off the liver

I am also not worried about any lack of fibre as i have come to the conclusion that is is not fibre the body needs to remove toxins but fat.

Fat is far superior in binding to toxins and the higher the fat the healthier and more protected we become.

So here is the recipe i use. The ingredients must be organic otherwise once the fibre is removed pesticides will flood the system.

Ingredients

1 apple

1 carrot

2 stalks of celery

A handful of parsley

1/2 lemon

A small piece of ginger root

Put through the juicer putting the parsley and ginger through first. Add the rest of the ingredients.

Clean implements thoroughly

“Chew” the drink slowly

Enjoy!
