Sprouted Nut Milk

by

I typically use almonds, brazil nuts, and apricot kernels for my sprouted nut milk. The almonds are rich in vitamin E, all of the B vitamins except B12, manganese, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and selenium. Brazil nuts are extremely rich in selenium as well! Adequate selenium in the diet can help prevent coronary artery disease, liver cirrhosis, and cancers! Brazil nuts are also rich in B-vitamins, including folate. Natural folate, as opposed to folic acid, is GREAT for people with methylation issues. Brazil nuts also contain copper, magnesium, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. Copper helps prevent anemia and bone weakness (osteoporosis). Manganese is an all-important co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase.

Apricot kernels are also known as B17, a vitamin that is used in cancer prevention. If you do your own research on apricot kernels, you will find that the kernels contain a cyanide that is toxic to tumors and cancerous cells. The maximum recommendation in no more than 8 kernels per day; however, a lethal amount of apricot kernels is closer to 150 kernels per day. Like anything, do your own research, choose food that works best for you, and don’t go over board with anything. Even water can be toxic at a certain level, so don’t be afraid to learn about foods such as apricot kernels. Apricot kernels can be bought on Amazon, or at some health food markets.

This milk is mildly sweet, and so delicious!

This milk is SCD, GAPS, & Paleo safe.

Autoimmune Green Juice

by

According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, parsley and celery are both very potent in inhibiting autoimmune disease, particulary due to a flavonoid called apigenin which reduces inflammation, and reduces the risk of cancer due to it’s anti-tumor activity. Celery is also very rich in luteolin, a bioflavonoid which is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, helps reduce inflammation, and promotes nerve and muscle function.

I make this juice with green apple and a little lemon for extra flavor. It’s super simple and so refreshing!
