Lemon Ginger Blast


Today I woke up feeling a little sick with a headache and general sick feeling.  My body felt like it wanted to start fasting, so I decided to go super clean today with fresh fruits and herbs.  I plan to stick with this until I get my weight down some.

First order of the day was to go to Walmart for groceries.  I spent $52.00 for two watermelons, cantaloupe, honeydew, organic broccoli, 2 bunches cilantro, kale, organic romaine, six avocados, two packages organic celery, a bag of organic lemons, a bag of organic limes, two organic cucumbers, two organic bell peppers, and some ginger root.

There is a new business near Hot Springs Village called Country Market.  This business is so good for our community.  I hope they will garner lots of support.  They sell fresh produce, much of it organic.  There is a garden next to the store where they grow some of the produce they sell.  I bought some peaches that had been picked this morning, and I bought two organic heirloom tomatoes.  Total...$9.04. As soon as I got home, Travis and I each ate one of the peaches and they were so good.

Lunch today was watermelon and a green smoothie made with kale, mint, bananas, grapes, strawberries, and apples.

We are working on getting everything ready for the garage sale on Friday and Saturday. 

Dinner was Heirloom Tomato; Avocado; and Lemon Ginger Blast.  The Lemon Ginger Blast was so clean tasting and good.  I found the recipe from Dan McDonald and Lou Corona.  Here is the recipe for the version I made today.

Lemon Ginger Blast
Process all ingredients through the juicer....1/3 bag of kale, 1 bunch of cilantro, parsley, chives, and mint from the garden, 1/2 large bell pepper, 1 large banana pepper, several stalks of celery, 1 whole organic lemon, a piece of ginger, a zucchini, a cucumber, broccoli,  two apples.


Tonight I had a cup of Organo Gold coffee and celery and carrot sticks at the house of a friend.

When I began working with Dr. John Fielder to turn my health problems around, one of the principles he gave me was, "If need be, come to the farm."  He was referring to his Clohesy River Health Farm at Kuranda, Queensland, Australia.  Clohesy River Health Farm.  I was committed to following all the principles, so I prepared myself to go to the farm if necessary.  My boss was put on notice that I might have to take off from work for a few weeks.  But I was lucky.  My family was supportive to all the natural things I began to do.  They put no pressure on me to follow the medical route; therefore, I was able to get healthy at home.

Often, our friends and relatives are our worst enemies when it comes to following the way of Natural Hygiene.  They are full of fear, and so inspire fear in us.  In cases like that, going to the farm would be advantageous.  It is a way to get away from the doubters and experience the natural lifestyle without distraction.  It is also an ideal place to fast and to rest.

To health and happiness.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
