The Whirlwind of Dietary Shifts

Ok.  I know it's like trying to nail down a whirlwind...my current diet of the week.  

Thank you all who spent time feeding and/or cleaning the juicer.   The juicer is going to take a rest for now.   Apparently juicing and fruit of all kinds can thin the blood.   A situation that I don't need at this precise moment....I am currently trying to control the bleeding I have going on.   

So here's the current plan for this week, from the recommendations of a Nutritionist of 30 years with whom I am consulting:   

LUNCH & DINNER: Have ORGANIC 2 year (at least) Barley or Sweet Brown miso soup for lunch and dinner every day (miso is a fermented food that is a natural antibiotic and also removes radiation and virus from the blood – use only 2 year old or older miso)

Get a good macrobiotic cookbook and use the recipes for a simple miso soup.  I prefer the brand "South River" Miso (found at Coop & Whole Foods) for the following reason:

"Miso has the aility to absorb toxins from plastic containers and should e transferred into glass, wood or enamel for prolonged storage.  The same holds true for other fermented foods and all oils.  Discard the miso that is stuck to the plastic"

BREAKFAST Have whole grain porridges daily

a) Put 1/4 cup of whole grain e.g. millet, brown rice, whole barley into a pot (a double boiler works great).
b) Add 4-5 cups of filtered water or twig tea, 1/4 tsp of sea salt per cup.
c) Cook for 1 hour before bedtime. Turn off and let sit overnight
d) In the AM cook another 2 hours, adding water/twig tea if necessary
e) Serve topped as you wish with cooked vegetables e.g. carrots, corn, peas, lentils, butter, etc)
f) Garnish with the sea vegetable, Nori. Produces 3-4 servings

So if you wanted to help me with getting the congee started (ie the pm part) here at my place or if you wanted to bring it over with you, that'd be spendid.   This process is alot for me on my own.   Stovetop cooking is preferable. 

PS.  Everyone that I speak with--doctors, healers, AA survivors--insist that ALL FOODS must be 100%ORGANIC.   I hate to say it but I do not believe that Trader Joe's offers true organic food so if possible please chose foods from our other wonderful venues:  Natural Grocers, Wild Oats or Whole Foods. 


Thank you for your continued help.
