Celery Juice to Start the Day

I am reading a book called The Medical Medium by Anthony William.  One idea that is catching on with the raw food community is to start your day with plain celery juice.  Celery juice will be of benefit to anyone dealing with shingles, autoimmune, or mystery illness.  You can see a difference within a week.  Here is the link to more information about the benefits of celery juice on the Medical Medium blog.  You can also follow Medical Medium on Facebook.

Werener Kollath was a German bacteriologist, hygienist, and food scientist who was a pioneer in the whole foods movement.  Kollath was a member of the Nazi party so he lost his position as the dean of the faculty of medicine after the war but was able to keep his position with the commission and served in the Soviet occupation zone. His research after the end of World War II found that a diet that produces average health fails to produce the highest level of health.  In 1948 he published a second edition to a natural hygiene textbook and in 1950 he wrote an important book on the full value of nutrition and its importance for growth and cell replacement.  His books laid the foundation for the study of whole food nutrition.

In his studies he found that animals grown on processed, refined food that were lacking minerals and vitamins would grow and show no signs of disease, not even vitamin deficiencies. However, when these animals reached adulthood they showed signs of degeneration similar to humans in the Western world. Supplementation with vitamins did not help these conditions. The only thing that helped was an abundance of raw foods containing green leaves, cereals and vegetables.

Most of us are surely living in this state of average health. We usually don't even recognize that we are in a low state of health until serious degeneration begins to manifest. It has been proven by hygienists for many years that health can be improved by adding fresh raw food to the diet and by eliminating cooked, processed, high protein, and high fat foods.

Food prep for the day:
Green Smoothie for 2 (herbs from the garden, 2 bananas, 2 big strawberries, 1/4 pineapple, 1/4 papaya, 2 cups frozen wild blueberries, 2 scoops of chia seeds, water)

Green Salad (1/2 head green leaf lettuce, 1/4 chopped onion, 1 radish, 1 cucumber, 1 tomato, 1/2 avocado and  juice from 1/2 lemon)

I am still in healing crisis mode with coughing and ear ache.  I made it to Walmart and bought most of the groceries we will need for this week.  I may have to go back and get more celery for the celery juice.  Travis went to Food Wise for bananas and apples.  I forgot to get lettuce...imagine that...and had to go back to Food Wise for lettuce.
This week's grocery haul. ..$108.71

Darn! Forgot the lettuce and had to go out in the rain to go back to the store. Add $5.50 to the grocery tally.

Lunch: Green smoothie, orange, 1/2 avocado; peach nice cream that was leftover from the raw foods potluck

Dinner: Green salad; dehydrated crackers that were left from raw foods potluck, frozen cherries, pistachios

Our dog, Lucy, has been a finicky eater since she was a little puppy, The only thing she really loves to eat is chicken, but chicken wreaks havoc on her digestion.  Then we have all kinds of problems.  I watched Jonny Juicer's video about what his dog eats.  I talked to Lucy about becoming a vegan and eating like Noah, but so far she is ignoring me.  This recipe is good.  I ate a little of it myself, so why won't Lucy eat it. Maybe she will when she gets hungry enough.

Dog Food Recipe:
1 cup green lentils
1 cup quinoa or rice
1 cup diced sweet potatoes
 - Cook about 20 minutes in water until done

Top with:  diced red peppers, grated carrots, blueberries, garbanzo beans.
Sprinke with ground flax.  I didn't have any spiruline or wheat grass powder so I substituted kelp.
Add a little hemp oil ( I used flax oil).

There you go.  It has not been touched.
Lucy's new dog food

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...
