 Use a vita-mix 5000 to obtain the necessary chlorophyll juice from the aforementioned leafy greens.)
Another wonderful source are certain cereal grasses that grow in the organic soil and cold winter climate of Lawrence, Kansas. A product called Mighty Greens is in my estimation the strongest source of mixed chlorophylls (grain, vegetable, and seaweed) that I've ever become acquainted with. |
| Details are provided on how to make it using a vita-mix 5000 machine. (See Appendix I for information about this product.) Desiccated liver tablets and powdered liver can also be used if necessary. These supplements may be obtained at most health-food stores, pet-supply centers, or some veterinarians.
Brewer's yeast is a useful item and duplicates some of the same nutritional benefits that liver does. But due to its smell or taste, it might be better to mix a little in with the animal's food: one-half tablespoon for small and one-and-a-half tablespoons for large-sized animals. |
| Tokyo Dog, Teriyaki Style_
1 cup chopped tomatoes 'A cup celery with leaves
2 tablespoons sweet green bell pepper 4 baby carrots
2 tablespoons raw onion 2 tablespoons Teriyaki Sauce 1 Vi cups ice cubes
Place all of the ingredients in the vita-mix 5000 in the order given. Secure the two-part lid by locking under its tabs. Move the black speed control to the high position. Lift the black lever to the on position and permit the unit to run almost 2 minutes, until the contents are smooth. Let the liquid set at room temperature for 20 minutes before pouring into the dog's feeding bowl. |
| Boxer Rebellion_
1 cup fresh tomatoes
'4 cup lettuce
'4 cup carrots
1 tablespoon onion
3 sprigs parsley
'4 cup sweet red- or green-bell pepper *4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce pinch of granulated kelp (a seaweed) 1 cup ice cubes
Place all of these ingredients in the vita-mix 5000 in the order given. Secure the lid as suggested in the previous recipe. Move the different levers to the positions previously indicated. Run the unit for one-and-one-half minutes until everything is well mixed and has a smooth consistency. |
| See Product Appendix under vita-mix Corp. for more information.) Add about one-half teaspoon every day to your pet's meal. Besides getting rid of worms, these items are also healthful for it.
Next in the nutritional arsenal would be wheat-germ oil, but not just any kind. The type I've recommended for many years is animal-strength quality and goes by the name of Rex Wheat Germ Oil. Cats should receive one-half teaspoon daily, while dogs get either one-half teaspoon (up to 50-pound weight) or one full teaspoon
(over 50-pound weight), depending on their size. |
| See Product Appendix under vita-mix for information on their Vita-Vac cleaning machine.)
• If outside air is tolerable and the room has a window, keep it cracked a bit to let in fresh air periodically. Do not do this, however, if outside air is extremely polluted.
• Curtail the intake of sugar-rich foods and your allergenic responses will be cut in half.
Anal Inflammation
What to Do for a Sore Anus
A household pet will frequently get an inflamed anus due to many watery or loose stools. This causes the surrounding tissue to become irritated and occasionally infected with bacteria. |
 Grind nuts to a fine meal in a vita-mix food blender. Use the blade recommended for grinding wheat into flour. Then add everything else and blend for 1-1/2 minutes. Stop several times to scrape down container sides with rubber spatula. Add to bread recipe as previously indicated.
AMERICAN CENTAURY
(Sabatia angularis)
Brief Description
American centaury was included in United States Pharmacopeia from 1820 to 1870. The plant grows from 1 to 2 feet high. The stem is branched above, square and smooth. Leaves are ovate, about a foot in length, and heart-shaped. |
 A delightful health drink which is easy to prepare in a vita-mix, calls for one-fourth cups fresh peaches and pears (cut into small pieces), a dash of powdered ginger, and one-half cup sugarfree ginger ale. Mix on medium or high speed for twenty seconds. Some people like to add half a cup of ice cubes, which is okay to do if the lungs aren't inflammed in any way. This mixture yields about one and one-half cups of a health drink that's sweet, creamy, and refreshing to the palate. |
| Into your vita-mix or blender put one half fresh banana (peeled), 1 cup mango juice, and 1 cup ice cubes. Turn on high speed for 15-20 seconds. The result is a veiy smooth, semi-sweet and extremely pleasant drink that will feel heavenly going down and is easy to digest.
BEAN SPROUT JUICE
"Liquid Protein for Physical Stamina"
DESCRIPTION
The bean (Pbaseolus) kingdom is one of the most varied in the plant world. Beans range in size from limas and kidneys, which are nearly an inch long, to pea beans, no more than %" long. |
| METHOD OF PREPARATION
Delbert and his wife used their vita-mix to juice the peas they picked fresh and ripe from their garden. "I put my cup of shelled peas in the two-liter container and set the left button to the variable position," Mrs. Granger told me. "I then turned the speed knob slowly up to number 3 position to sort of puree my peas before adding a little water. After it got to a runny consistency, I poured the liquid into a glass and gave it to him to drink with his lunch." She did this every day for the period of time stated until he was completely healed. |
| An additional analysis commissioned by the vita-mix Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio shows the vitamin A content is 20 I.U. per 100 grams of apple juice and the presence of chromium was detected in 0.2 ppm (parts per million).
THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS
There are several things which make apple juice one of the most beneficial things for even the worst kind of constipation. First there is the high pectin content. Pectin is a water-soluble substance in many fruits and vegetables that yields a gel from which jellies are made. |
| In a vita-mix blender puree this mixture until smooth and creamy.
Return to pan, season with kelp, and heat through. Yield: Serves 2.
TEA
(Camellia sevensis)
Brief Description
Tea drinking in some Asian countries has evolved into quite a delicate art, much as wine sampling or tasting has done in France. There are connoisseurs of finely brewed tea, who can tell what type of water was used, what kind of utensils were involved and the approximate conditions under which a particular tea is made. |
| Once you get the powdered ingredients and some double size capsules to fill, make up a small mixture as follows:
4 parts (teaspoons or tablespoons) club moss
3 parts (teaspoons or tablespoons) Jamaican ginger root 2 parts (teaspoons or tablespoons) gotu kola
Mix them thoroughly together by hand in a large bowl or dry mix in the plastic container that comes with a vita-mix whole food machine or similar processor.
After this, spread out a clean piece of cotton cloth on a flat surface. |
 The previous 3600 Plus vita-mix model, which is all stainless steel except for the plastic "two-piece Action Dome" that attaches to the top of the container, costs about $300 to $400 when purchased new. I've found them used and in excellent shape for $20, $60, and $150 Canadian in British Columbia; however, for the work this tool does, it is worth the $300. This is the best domestic designed machine I've found for powdering herbs and for blending fresh-plant extracts. It is a powerful, versatile, and very durable product that is well worth its cost to an inspired medicine-maker. |
| Mixing a small handful of brooklime with 1/2 cup water in a vita-mix machine or similar food processor is probably the easiest way to get enough juice to do a sufficient job.
One or two cotton balls or a layered strip of gauze can be saturated with some of the juice and then applied to the problem area and secured with tape.
For an allied plant with similar healing properties, consult the entry WATERCRESS toward the end of this book. |
| The new model juicers that vita-mix now manufactures have "space-age material" plastic containers (which I'm told will also fit the older 3600 model motor base); I don't know, however, how well these will hold up to the beating of grinding herbs. The all-stainless steel machines used to come with a five-year warranty. (Actually, way back, they used to have a lifetime warranty.) But this most recent model comes with only a one-year warranty. I guess the space-age material is still in its experimental stage. |
| In a vita-mix whole food machine or similar blender, combine the watercress, basil, liquid Kyolic aged garlic extract, olive oil and parmesan cheese. Process until somewhat pasty. Then add the milk and pulse only until mixed; be careful to not overmix. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the walnuts and green onions. Add kelp for flavor. Dip will automatically thicken as it stands. Yield: Makes 1-1/2 cups.
NOTE: The fat content of this glorious dip is one-half that of standard commercial dips! |
| In a mastication juicer there is no problem using them whole, but in a centrifugal juicer such as a vita-mix, it's a good idea to remove stems and midribs and then cut the leaves into small pieces with a pair of scissors so they can juice more easily. It may be a good idea to add a little water with the leaves so the final liquid won't be too thick.
NECTARINE JUICE
"Unbelievably Good for Your Nerves"
DESCRIPTION
The nectarine (Prunuspersica var. nucipersicd) originated in ancient China. It is botanically classified as a drupe and is akin to the peach, plum, apricot, and almond. |
| Chop the plant into small pieces and place them into a vita-mix or some other suitable blender.
2. Prepare custom menstruum (see below).
3. Cover the herb with menstruum and blend it hke a smoothie. (You will have to use enough of the menstruum to cover the blender blades.) Use as much of the measured menstruum as you can to make the mixture churn actively in the blender. (In some instances, you may not be able to fit in all the menstruum during this blending stage.)
4. Pour the liquefied ingredients into ajar and cap tightly. |
| Metal hand-powered grain mills, smad electric coffee bean mdls, and older model (stainless steel type) vita-mix blenders are excedent tools for grinding all but the hardest of herbal material; however, nothing short of a rock crusher can pulverize dried Turmeric, dried WddYam, or dried Red Root.You have to shred dense plant materials hke Turmeric and Wdd Yam while they are still fresh (undried) by using a cheese grater or an electric food processor and then dry them.You need to use pruning shears or a heavy-duty lopper to process dense woody roots hke Red Root and Oregon Grape root. |
| Pour the entire ingredients (herb and menstruum) into a vita-mix or some other suitable blender and blend it like a smoothie. (You will have to make a large enough batch, so that the volume of menstruum required is sufficient to completely cover the blender blades.)
4. Pour the liquefied ingredients into ajar and cap tightly*
5. Agitate tincture frequently for 14 days, then let it sit another day.
6. Decant, press, and filter.
7. Bottle, tightly cap, and label. |
| But I had him invest the time, energy, and funds into growing his own fennel and then getting himself a vita-mix juicer to make it in. Only after his wife started doing this for him and he began drinking tiny amounts of it with every big meal he put away, did he begin to feel more comfortable inside.
I don't think I'll ever be able to change Vic's or "Duke's" eating habits. No more than President Bill Clinton is apt to become a Republican. But at least I was able to find a remedy from the first individual to help the second person. |
| In a vita-mix whole food machine or similar food processor, combine 1 cup beans and oatmeal. In a saucepan, melt the butter, add 1/4 cup flower and cool for 3 minutes. Slowly add milk and reserved bean liquid, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring always until thickened. Add the kelp, nutmeg and parsley; mix with the beans and oatmeal.
Preheat oven to 375° F. Dab a paper towel in some olive oil and lightly rub it over the sides and bottom of a baking dish. Then fill the bottom with bread crumbs. Add the remaining beans and pour the beans/oats mixture over the top. |
