*When doing an internal cleanse, these foods will significantly slow the cleanse process.
Note: All foods become acid when sugar is added.

Go for fresh and alive as much as possible! Avoid processed foods.

Alkalizing is the key as a foundation for health. Any disease condition, pathogen,
imbalance, etc., can only exist in an acid environment. To become more alkaline, we
need an adequate supply of minerals. Commercially grown produce is usually deficient
in minerals and toxic with chemicals. Studies have shown that organically grown produce
has 50-400% more nutrition than commercially grown produce, and significantly less
lead and mercury.

How We Deplete Ourselves of Minerals

• Negative emotions (stress)

• Eating too many acid-forming foods
• Medicinal drugs
• Poor digestion and assimilation
• Eating foods from inadequate soil-commercially grown
• Bacteria and parasite infections
• Dysfunctional adrenals or kidneys
• Shallow breathing
 Ways to Maintain Health and Build Mineral Reserves

• Develop a happy and positive point of view

• Eat wholesome, organically grown fruits and vegetables
• Eat a diet that is 80% or more alkaline forming
• Cleanse and purify the entire body and mind frequently
• Rebuild the digestive system, then the liver and other organs
• Avoid drugs, vaccines, chlorine, fluoride, and other poisons
• Get plenty of exercise and rest
• Breathe deeply
• Form the habit of feeling sincere appreciation for the many gifts that life gives us

How to Make a Vegetable Broth

(for alkalizing the body)

Take three quarts of distilled water and add three medium to large whole potatoes, two to
three stalks of cut celery, and one or two large leaves any greens (collard, chard, mustard,
kale, turnip, beet or carrot tops) and a ½ bunch of parsley. You can add kelp if you want
high concentrates of minerals. Use a stainless steel pot and bring to a light boil with the
lid on. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the color leaves the vegetables. Cool and strain;
keep only the juice. Refrigerate and drink two to three cups per day.
You can play with this recipe and add more veggies or less water for more concentration.
