Video: Say Yes! To Vivacity with a Midsummer Green Drink

Dear brothers and sisters,

In 1960 H.E. Kirschner M.D., a physician in southern California published a slender volume, “Nature's Healing Grasses.” In our opinion, it is a California classic. It has gone through many printings. What Dr. Kirschner was doing, was to blend, in an ordinary blender, edible wild plants including dandelion, malva, alfalfa, filigree and lambs quarter along with parsley, an herb. He would add water. He administered this green drink to his patients with dramatic results. Decades later, the "raw" food movement took up where Dr. Kirschner left off. It is part of the living legacy that raw foods have bequeathed to the world.

In this video we start by making a base for our green drink. We blend together grapes and  sliced tomatoes.

We go on to add lettuce, kale, collard greens and red dandelions.                                                                                                            

This is surely the drink for our times. One can taste the vitality.  We urge you to give it a try.

Please write in and tell us from your experience why green drinks,victory gardens, intermittent fasting, and vigorous exercise are steps toward healing this great land and its people.

Living Tree Community Foods California Heritage Olive Oil is rich in antioxidants. We invite you to rejoice in its robust, sharp flavor. Experience how its pungency enhances the flavors of food.

Our California Heritage Olive Oil has a high available biophenol content: 605 ppm (parts per million) compared with 222 ppm for most extra virgin olive oils. In other words, its biophenol content is 2.7 times the average. Very high phenolic content and excellent stability should provide long shelf life of over a year as well as beneficial health value. This olive oil has, along with its bitterness and pungency, mineral and green vegetable organoleptic characteristics.

Living Tree Community Foods Raw Organic Tibetan Black Barley is provided by Oregon Grain & Bean, with this crop grown on an organic farm in Idaho. Tibetan Black Barley, with its bran intact, retains its firm, plump texture during cooking, making it perfect in soups, stuffings and stews. It’s also great when mixed with other grains due to its somewhat chewy, contrasting texture.
