I'm wondering about "D" too ! ..it seems like all milks ie. soy and rice etc. are supplemented with D2.But I've read somewhere that its D3 that we should take? any info is appreciated - now that we're finding how important D is. By the way i love this blog even tho i've never commented - very uplifting - i come to you via doing research last year for a friend that had cancer -being a life long vegetarian and since getting into alkaline diet w/Dr.Robert Young i've become vegan and just found out that i've got a wheat allergy or something - when i stopped eating grains my lifelong asthma has disapeared! wow! cant believe it still that i've been poisening myself for my whole life! I'll be joining you on your wednesday fasts! love the strength and energy of this group!

Hey there, Loved the documentary and I've been a follower of your blog for a while now. Just curious, why D3 and not D2? Doesn't vitamin D3 come from an animal source?

When I cleanse, I use smoothies, juices and broths throughout the day.

Here are 2 of my favorite broths to use during a cleanse (if possible, use organic ingredients):

Bieler Broth:

4 medium zucchini
1/2 lb. of green beans
4 stalks of celery
Steam above until soft.

Blend above veggies with a BIG handful of parsley in blender until smooth. Add steamed spinach for more flavor (do it in shifts if all the veggies won't fit in the blender). The broth tastes best served hot with a bit of Bragg's ginger dressing drizzled over.

Alkaline Broth:

Use a big pot (not aluminum) and fill with 3 quarts of water.

Gather up and clean well the following veggies (don't peel them though):
2 potatoes
4 carrots
4 celery stalks with leaves
2 leeks
2 onions
5 cloves garlic (optional)
2 beets
1 head of swiss chard (or other deep green)

Chop up all the veggies so that they are very small. Add any spices that you like (basil, oregano, cumin, cayenne, etc.). Add veggies to water in the pot.

Cover pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a slow boil for 1/2 hour. After 1/2 hour of slow boil, turn heat off and let stand for 1/2 hour. Strain broth through a colander and discard/compost veggies (the nutrients are now in the broth).

Serve broth warm and add any spices you might like.

If you have any questions or I wasn't clear in my recipes, send me an email and I can clarify :) aimee@wellnessgossip.com

Kristen,

I love VG too - sometimes I go overboard with it and it is pretty intense - so is the "detoxing" from it! I'll have to try the Berry Greens - is it sweeter because of the "berry" in it?

Thanks!
Beth
PS - your pic is stunning!

Karen,

I had the same question, thanks for your bravery! To get even grosser, it's like sludge, is that ok? Do we need colonics or enema's to remove this stuff? :)

Re: Goddess Group Fasting Day!

KristensRaw — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 10:11:50 -0000

Hi Beth,
Actually, it's not really sweeter, it has a nice mellow vegetable/savory flavor that I quite like. The ingredients are great - just easily recognizable vegetables and some fruits. I'm a big fan and recommend it.

Cheers,
Kristen

PS thanks for the kind comment on my pic :)

This is gross but....is a side effect of detoxing feeling like you always have to poop but only a little comes out at a time??? I'm usually very regular, so I'm wondering if some impacted stuff is working it's way out....sorry to gross out the group!

Hi Kris!
I have a question about your supplements - do you take them all at one time (e.g., in the morning)? do you take them with food, juice, on their own, etc.? I am having such a hard time taking mine lately. I hate swallowing pills and will put it off for an hour then forget or get lazy, etc.
Thanks!
Jennifer
P.S. - Ordered your juicing tee and had it sent to India. It arrived! Will be taking a photo of myself wearing it at the Gateway of India this weekend...

Hi Stephanie,
I have been a 'starving student' for years and last year I found a juicer at a remote Target that was on sale for $12.99! I wish I would have known, because I could have sent it to you. If you check Craig's List periodically you might find a cheap one, or else ebay, or maybe put a request in the Life Lounge? I a sure that members have old juicers that they would not mind donating? Maybe also send an email out to friends and family or requst one for your birthday or something?

Hi Melissa,
You usually need a special juicer to juice wheatgrass. A Green Star does both regular greens, fruit AND wheat grass. It thoroughly juices all greens. You can try to get more juice from your greens if you don't have a Green Star, for example, by rolling the greens up into a ball if possible and trying to put it through a little slower than pushing it down really fast. Hope that makes sense. ;)

But, if you have a Breville or something like that, you need to have a separate juicer for wheatgrass.

Cheers,
Kristen

Hi Beth,
I'm a big fan of Vitamineral Green :) Good stuff! I also like New Chapter Organic's Berry Greens (it's a little less intense than VG) .

Cheers,
Kristen

Kris,
I have been following your blog since watching CrazySexyCancer. That documentary inspired me to the Nth degree! Here's the scoop - I come from a family that is diseased and overweight. I am 24 (25 soon... ick) about 130 pds, the mother of a 5 year old daughter, a dance teacher, a full time college student, have a fiance, and work part time. I am feeling old and achy. I have been trying to eat healthier and watch what goes in my pie hole, but nothing is seeming to help. My skin is gross, and I need a change. Do you have a suggestion for a starting point for a healthier diet that won't freak out my family? Maybe some supplements I should start with, or a food that will help? I've done ACAI juice and I like it... LOL. That's very new for me. =) Also, what resources do you recommend for continuing to grow in my efforts to stay healthy?
Thank you!
P.S. Love the blog...
Kelly

Scope went FANTASTIC!! Thanks for sending all the good vibes and prayers my way! The prep was aweful and I'll never do it that way again, but the scope itself was a piece of cake. Results to be confirmed in a few days when biopsy comes back, first diagnosis is Ulcerative Colitis (as suspected) but NO crohn's and even better NO polyps to biopsy =) Colitis was my best case dx....I'm happy!
