The Green Detox Drink is thick, nourishing, and loaded with vitamins, but it is not a meal
replacement. However, you might feel quite full after a glass. It tastes like a thick orange juice
with a bit of a kick. The drink is very easy to prepare (five to six minutes total, including peeling
and chopping), and the ingredients are quite affordable, too.Note: The Green Detox Drink is not
compatible with dairy of any kind.
- Peel the lemon and orange and cut them into chunks. Place all the remaining ingredients into
a blender with the lemon and orange. Blend for 10 minutes. The mixture should be quite thick. - Dilute mixture with the water of your choice to make 1 quart and store it in the refrigerator.
Green Liver Flush
This is a traditional East European technique now making news among holistic healers. It is
effective in removing fat-soluble toxins, such as pesticide residues, from the body. The effectiveness
and safety of conducting a home liver flush has been debated among medical professionals. If you
have any liver or gallbladder problems or other health concerns, you should consult your doctor
before doing this procedure.
Here’s what you need: the juice from five medium-sized lemons, a slightly heated bottle of virgin
olive oil, a hot water bottle, and a shot glass for measuring. Arrange everything, including this book
and the TV remote if desired, on a coffee table so you won’t have to jump up and down too often. It’s
important not to perform the liver cleansing when you are home alone, in case you feel dizzy or weak
in the bathroom. Folk medicine recommends starting the flush at 7 PM.
Make sure you follow these steps precisely:- Fill the water bottle with hot water, place it on your upper right abdomen, and relax for thirty
minutes. - Drink one shot (2 tablespoons) of lemon juice.
- Wait fifteen minutes, then drink one shot (2 tablespoons) of olive oil.
- Alternate shots of lemon juice and olive oil every fifteen minutes until you are out of lemon juice.
Keep the hot water bottle on your right-hand side!
