#8 A Detox Drink For A Healing Crisis

Detox #8  Is a drink for a healing crisis like cold, flu and sinus irritation.

When your body goes into a healing crisis you need to know how to help it do it's work.  That is what I want to communicate in this post.

A healing crisis occurs when your body senses the need to cleanse and the task is more than it can handle in the normal night-time hours.  Your physical design dictates cycles between food intake and digestion and assimilation for adequate fuel during the day.  At night it goes into a cleansing fast for 12 hours.  We call the first meal of the day breakfast, indicating that it is time to provide the body with more fuel for the day's activities. 

If we are over-eating regularly, you are putting stress on your body to maintain health.  If we are eating and drinking toxic non-foods, dead cooked foods or too many artificial  factory produced foods the body becomes exhausted and will then go into a healing crisis of some discription.

A healing crisis can be as simple as the common cold or flue or more complicated as allergies and inflammation of all sorts.   Americans are opposed to fasting from anything, but since fasting from food is built into your physiology by our Creator, it is also wisdom to set aside certain times to at least simi-fast.  In our over endulgent society, even those of us who really want to change our destructive habits find it an "up hill" battle, because we are so emotionally invested in the enjoyment of food and drink.

With that said as an explanation for today's posted drink, I want to share a way to very quickly help your body cleanse and recover it's balance in self-healing.  I dare you to try it.  Don't load your blender full of these ingredients until you have tried a small amount.  I don't like to be wasteful.


1. Bring out the green vegetables from your refrigerator and add a small amount of each to a blender.
        Spinach, kale, chard, cucumber, parsley, romaine letture, celery
2. Add a chunk of Ginger Root.  You can chop fine or grate it.  This is optional.
3. Add some water and start the blender.  Use as much water as you need to process these "life-giving" greens.    Blend until all are incorporated - no chunks.
4. Add more water until it becomes the dilution you can "enjoy". 

I can hear you laugh at the idea of enjoying this straight green elixir.  But you may be surprised.  I was the first time I tried it.  If you think it is bitter instead of mildly sweet, that is a good sign that you are too acidic and desperately need this drink.  This is a quick way to alkalize your system and help your body heal from the cold or flu.

If you drink half of it and want to add a little fresh orange juice do it, so as not to waste it, or add orange juice and banana.  That would make it a smoothie.   You may need to keep it stirred up or run it through a tight seive.  I hope you don't have to do this.  When you add banana it smoothes out the pulp of the vegetables.  This may be what Daniel and his Hebrew friends asked for.  

Be brave my friends.
