THE CURE FOR ALL CANCERS
Rinse the walnuts carefully, put them in the pot, and cover
with the alcohol. Sprinkle on 1 tsp. vitamin C. Seal with plastic
wrap and cover tightly. Let sit for three days. Pour into glass
jars or bottles, discarding walnuts, and add more vitamin C (1
tsp. per quart). This will keep the color green. If the glass jar
has a metal lid, put plastic wrap over the top before screwing on
the lid. Potency is strong for several years if unopened, even if
it darkens slightly. Refrigerate after opening.
You have just made Extra Strength Black Walnut Hull
Tincture. It is stronger than the concentrate made with just a
few black walnuts in a quart jar (my earlier recipe), because
there are more walnuts per unit liquid. In addition, you will not
dilute it before use (although when you take it, it will usually be
in water).
When preparing the walnuts, rinse only with cold tap water.
You may need to use a brush on areas with dirt. If you are not
going to use all of them in this batch, you may freeze them in a
resealable plastic bag. Simply refrigerating them does not keep
them from turning black and useless. The pot of soaking wal-
nuts should not be refrigerated. Nor does the final tincture need
refrigeration until after it is opened.
Exposure to air does cause the tincture to darken and lose
potency. To reduce air exposure, fill the pot as much as possi-
ble, without touching the plastic wrap, while still keeping a
snug fitting lid. Even more importantly, the glass jars or bottles
you use to store your tincture should have as little air space as
possible, without touching the plastic wrap on top. A large jar
should be divided into smaller ones when you are ready to use
it. The idea is not to have partial jars, with a lot of air space,
sitting for longer than a month or so. To regain some green
