FTC COMFREY WARNING: External
use only. Consuming comfrey can cause serious liver
damage. Comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids,
which may cause serious illness or death. Comfrey
should not be taken orally, used as a suppository,
or applied to broken skin. For further information

The green drink is the
epitome of refreshing, living energy from plant sources.
Each mouthful of the juice should be "chewed"
thoroughly (swished in the mouth) and mixed well with
saliva before swallowing.
Fresh greens, such as comfrey,
parsley, mint, lambs quarters, marshmallow (that is,
common mallow), your dandelion and other local greens,
blended into a base of pineapple juice in a blender.
At first you may wish to strain out the pulp, but
it is good for you too, and soon you should become
accustomed to it. Some people make a green drink by
simply blending the wildings into water, straining
out the pulp and sweetening a bit with pure maple
syrup or honey. This green drink supplies vitamins,
minerals, enzymes, and healing factors in a fresh,
assimilable form.
Make the green drink by blending
into apple juice (or some pleasant tasting vegetable
juice, such as fresh carrot), comfrey, marshmallow
root (mallow), parsley, spinach, and other greens.
Sweeten with honey and use a cup morning and night
(children in proportion). The use of grapes, grape
juice and raisins in an abundance is excellent in
rebuilding an iron deficient bloodstream.
The simplest method is to place
pineapple juice in a blender container in the quantity
desired. Add green Alfalfa leaves (or Alfalfa sprouts)
to taste, less at first, and building up to more as
you become accustomed to the flavor. Alfalfa is quite
strong tasting; you might wish to begin with additional
herbs such as parsley, chard, dark lettuce, lamb's
quarters, comfrey, and other mild tasting greens.
Two sprigs of Alfalfa has been a good starting point
for the green drink which we feed our young children.
Blend the greens into the drink until they are thoroughly
pulverized. You can add a little water or a couple
of ice cubes to thin the drink a bit if you like.
Some people like to add an almond-date-sunflower seed
emulsion, made by blending the soaked seeds and dates
with pineapple juice, for a delicious and protein
filled green drink; however, we have found the pineapple
juice and green combination delicious and satisfying.
For a tiny infant, you can strain the fibers out of
the drink, but most people can benefit from the fibers
of the greens. Do not make the drink too thick at
first, however, as some people might find it unpalatable.
Soak overnight in enough water
to cover:
7 Almonds
4 Pitted Dates
Handful of Raw Sunflower Seeds
Next morning, pour in blender and add:
2-3 Handfuls of Greens
(Romaine, spinach, comfrey, parsley, mint, sprouts,
celery, carrot and beet tops, etc.)
Pineapple Juice to make 1 to 1&1/2 quart, total
Blend well, store in a jar in
the refrigerator. Will keep 2 days although it tastes
best when fresh.
2 ounces Comfrey root, cut (symphytum
officinale)
1 quart D-cell or distilled water
6 ounces Honey
2 ounces Glycerine
Preparation: Soak the root in water
for 12 hours. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for
30 minutes. Strain, then filter and squeeze through
muslin or linen cloth. Return liquor (liquid) to the
cleansed vessel, add the honey and glycerine, simmer
for 5 minutes and set aside to cool. Placing in a
wide-mouthed bottle and keep in a cool place.
Dosage: Coughs, raw or sore throat,
slight hemorrhage: 1 wine glassful every hour until
tissues are healed and coughing stops.
Popular with the whole family as well as a lady with
morning sickness, and it is surely more wholesome
than the sugared varieties purchased at stores.
Bring 2 gallons of water to a boil with 1 tablespoon
ground Ginger. Allow to cool to lukewarm and strain.
Add two cups of honey to the water-Ginger mixture
and stir well. Add the juice of four lemons and just
1/4 teaspoon of dry baking yeast (wine yeast would
work even better but is less available). Put into
absolutely clean gallon jars and cover lightly. Allow
to stand for two days. It should be nice and sparkly
by now. If it gets too sparkly, refrigerate.
Dr. Finley is a naturopathic
doctor in Tigard, Oregon USA. His patients use these
recipes with great success.
This broth cleans the blood and
helps with the flu.
Peel, slice and dice fine 3-4
white onions, add 12oz. steam distilled water and
low simmer 25-30 minutes (covered). Salt and pepper
to taste. Drink the broth only.
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon honey
Stir well into 8oz. of HOT water. Drink**
while hot, jump into bed and sweat.
**Note: It
is best to keep the herbs stirred as you drink since
they like to settle on the bottom.
Good source of calcium.
After breaking the clean
eggshell open, be careful to pull out the small membrane
that lines the shell. (Best to use eggs from free-roaming
chickens...check at your local health food store)
This membrane is high in cholesterol and it is wise
to eliminate it. Dry the shells at room temperature
or under 130 °F. When thoroughly dry, powder the
shells in a blender, nut mill or with a rolling pin.
When the powder from one dozen eggshells is ready
and finely powdered, cover with one pint of apple
cider vinegar or one pint of lemon juice (lemon juice
will sour and spoil quicker than the apple cider vinegar).
Mix the eggshell powder and liquid in a large container,
because the chemical reaction will cause the solution
to foam. Allow this to set for several days. Then
strain and combine with honey and water (to taste).
For the adult, use two or more
tablespoons (or add to distilled water, tea or juice
if desired) and for children in proportion. Some people
like to add a tablespoon of honey for each tablespoon
of the vinegar-calcium mix, as this is a great help
in adjusting the hydrochloric acid balance in the
body as well as feeding calcium to the system
(strengthening, soothing and healing
of inflamed surfaces)
The powder made into a mucilage beverage
or gruel is a bland and nutritive food for babies,
the elderly, or convalescents (it possesses as much
nutrition as oatmeal, and is an excellent sustaining
food). The gruel is a valuable remedy in all cases
of weakness, pulmonary complaints, stomach inflammation,
diarrhea, lung hemorrhage, etc.
1/2 tsp. Slippery elm, powder
(Ulmus fulva)
1/2 pint Raw milk**
1 tsp. Honey
dash Cinnamon or nutmeg, powdered
Make a paste out of the slippery elm
and honey (press out the lumps); bring the milk to
a boil and stir in the slippery elm mixture as the
milk reaches the boiling point. Remove from the heat
and stir 5-10 seconds, adding the cinnamon or nutmeg.
If the finished product contains lumps of slippery
elm run it through a blender for a few seconds.
**NOTE: We
found soy milk will also work with this recipe.
This simple recipe is very delicious
and satisfying.
Simmer red potatoes, celery, carrots,
onions, garlic, herbs and whatever other vegetables
you like in distilled water until tender. When it's
done, add tamari soy sauce to taste. You can blend
this in the blender if you like.
Make the broth with potato peelings
at least one half inch thick, comfrey leaves, celery
leaves, cut-up celery stalks, a few carrot tops from
the garden, not wild, beet greens, spinach greens,
chopped onions and garlic and several whole, black
peppercorns as a stimulant and digestant. Cover the
mixture well with distilled water and slowly simmer.
If possible, keep the temperature around 130 degrees
for six to ten hours. Do not boil. After simmering,
strain the preparation. Use this broth between meals
as you might a tasty tea being sure to chew it well.
A rough parallel to the intravenous
solutions that are administered in hospitals and similar
to the electrolyte drinks that are sold commercially.
Good for giving children instead of the commercially
available solution
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup honey (use maple syrup for babies)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 crushed dolomite tablet
Mix into enough water to make one quart, refrigerate.
This is a good mixture for restoring energy and also
for taking after vomiting, such as during morning
sickness.
This stops the onset of shock
as well as warming the body, increasing circulation,
raising the blood sugar to provide energy, and preventing
hemorrhage danger.
1 cup of warm distilled water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup honey
1 full teaspoonful of cayenne or 1 dropper of cayenne
extract.
1 pound Garlic cloves, peeled and
minced or chopped (Allium sativum)
Equal parts Apple cider vinegar and distilled water
(or D-cell water), sufficient to cover the garlic.
1 pint Glycerine
3 pounds Pure honey
Place the garlic into a wide mouth
jar, cover with the vinegar and water; close, shake
well together; allow to stand in a cool place for
4 days, macerating (shaking thoroughly) 1-2 times
daily; add the glycerine, shake and allow to stand
another day; strain with pressure and filter through
muslin or thin linen cloth; add the honey and stir
until thoroughly mixed; seal the jar tightly and keep
in a cool place. Take 1 teaspoonful - 1 tablespoonful
3-4 times daily between meals.
Rejuvelac is really cheap, and
yet provides the ferments which can help restore proper
intestinal flora.
Soak one cup of organic wheat--previously
washed--for forty-eight hours in three cups of distilled
water in a cool environment. Pour off the soaking
water, but do not throw it away, as it is an extremely
rich source of enzymes...this is the Rejuvelac. Drink
as a health beverage, refrigerate. Use the same seed
to make a second and third batch, not rinsing the
seed in between. These batches need soak only twenty-four
hours.
2 teaspoonfuls of apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoonfuls of honey
Mix in a glass of steam distilled water three times
a day.
Vermont folk medicine practitioners,
although they do not distinguish between arthritis,
bursitis, rheumatism, gout, osteoarthritis, etc.,
have been successful in treating all these diseases
with this formula. The apple cider vinegar creates
an acidic medium which is capable of dissolving excess
inorganic calcium--even if it is in the form of arthritic
deposits in the joints.
OPTIONAL: (If
you want an even healthier drink, add a little bit
of black strap molasses (1 tablespoon) and some cayenne
(start with just a pinch then work your way up to
1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon; or1/3 dropper up to 1
full dropper of cayenne extract).
The allopathic drug popular for
"ulcer management" is Tagamet. This stops
the production of hydrochloric acid by the stomach.
We want to regulate the production of acid. Whether
there is too much or not enough, this formula will
be a great aid:
1 tbsp. raw honey
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Mix in a glass of steam distilled water and drink.
Take this formula 1/2 hour before meals.
2 cups of dry soy beans will make
approximately 1 gallon of soy milk. Adjust recipe
if you wish to make less.
2 cups organic soy beans
Soak in double amount of water overnight (8-10 hours).
Replacing water at least 1 time (2 preferable)
Drain and rinse beans. Grind beans (add
¾ c. beans to blender and 1¾ c. water
at a time). Blend till it looks like oatmeal. Pour
into large heavy pot…NOT ALUMINUM OR
TEFLON. It is preferrable to use stainless
steel, glass or enamel.
Add:
1/2 cup brown rice (optional…makes a creamier,
better tasting milk)
1/3 piece of vanilla bean (optional…can use 1
½ teas. vanilla extract when milk is finished)
Bring to a slow boil (stir constantly), then turn
down heat. Simmer for 30-40 minutes. (I put a lid
on and cook on low or simmer.) If heat is low enough
you will not have to stir. If it still starts to scorch…you
need to add more water. Try 1 cup at a time.
Pour through a strainer first to remove
bulk of “sludge”, pressing sludge to get
out milk. Line a colander with a thin cloth (several
layers of cheese cloth works well) and set it up over
a big bowl or another pot. Pour some of strained milk
into colander. Let drain…then pick up ends of
cloth bring together and twist to squeeze out milk.
It helps to wear kitchen gloves since the milk is
hot.
When strained. Season to taste with:
Sea salt
Honey
Olive oil (optional -approx. 1 tablespoon)
Be careful not to add too much
water. It should be thick like cream (or paint) in
consistency. Refrigerate, enjoy!
A power-packed drink which helps
with hypoglycemia.
1 handful soaked or sprouted almonds
1-2 cups of water
1 banana
1 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon brewer's yeast
1 handful chia seeds
Blend until the seeds thicken the drink. This is mild
but very helpful in feeding high vibration protein
to the system.
An old-time remedy for coughs.
2-3 large onions, chopped
honey, enough to cover onions by 1/2"
Licorice root (powder) or horehound herb or wild cherry
bark (optional)
Cover the onions with liquid honey,
so the honey is at least one half inch above the onions
in the pan, use stainless steel, glass or enamel.
Low heat (under 130° or below simmer) for several
hours, or all night, if desired , on very low heat
in a double boiler (I use a smaller pot in my slow
cooker, with a rack in the bottom and about 2-3 inches
of water). Strain and press out the liquid and use
it as a cough syrup.
Optional - for each pint of liquid honey
used, add one ounce (more or less as desired) of licorice
root (powder) or the same amount of horehound herb
or wild cherry bark. Add when the honey and onions
are put together at the beginning. Any one of these
three mentioned herbs is a very fine expectorant and
demulcent herb and is used to aid in breaking up phlegm
and discharging it. This remedy is good for clearing
out the lungs and bronchials and also disperses itself
throughout the whole system with great benefit.
One teaspoon each fifteen minutes
or half hour, as needed. Hold the syrup in the mouth
and let it trickle down the throat slowly. Do not
drink or eat after to allow the syrup to "stick"
to the throat.
