"Gross, Dad." The kids are not excited about the idea that they will soon be recruited into the ranks of the healthy. They much prefer to snack on pudding cups and English muffins. One of my daughters is allergic to wheat, so we seek to support her in any way we can. I drink a homeopathic smoothie every morning. I'm the only one in the house who hasn't been sick since before Thanksgiving. And now the rest of the family is starting to come around. My wife has decreed that we're going to get a case of SuperFood, and the kids are going to be required to have some every day.
My mother died at 62 of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease.) That horrible disease claimed her motor functions within a matter of months, and her life within a year of diagnosis. You can well imagine that I do what I can to stave off the onset of such a disease if, in fact, it's coming for me.
So what do I put in the smoothie? I'll tell you, it's a little unconventional. I also can't recommend this mixture for everyone. I'm a 40-year old man with a slight belly, so I take the prostate support version of this. You should contact a naturopathic physician in your area to get a more specific recommendation.
Before loading up the blender, I take a teaspoon of fish oil and a teaspoon of organic apple cider Vinegar (to support the function of the Pancreas.)
Anyway, here's the list of what goes into the blender:
1. Half a cup of frozen berries, or one cup of fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, or mixed berries)
2. Three to five standard ice cubes. (More if fresh fruit is used.)
3. One banana.
4. Two tablespoons of raw pumpkin seeds.
5. Two tablespoons of ground flax seeds.
6. Two tablespoons of Dr. Schulze's SuperFood blend (contains such ingredients as chlorella, blue-green algae, wheat grass, and spirulina.)
7. One quarter teaspoon of Human Micro Flora.
8. Two Aller-C capsules.
9. One B-complex capsule (with Thiamine).
10. One half-teaspoon of buffered Vitamin C powder.
11. Five ounces of Almond Milk.
12. Eight ounces of Water.
I blend all this until it's creamy, then chug it down. I find that this concoction gives me more energy and boosts my metabolism.
When I feel like a cold is coming on, I up the dose of Vitamin C to a teaspoon.
So far, this method has worked for me. When I was sick last year, this smoothie helped me recover in record time. And with God on my side, the body heals itself like nobody knows.
