Simple and Cheap Detox Broth

I found this recipe from a book called The Seven Day Energy Surge by Jim Karas.
The recipe is from a doctor called Henry Bieler.  He used to give it to his patients when they were sick.  This recipe makes a large quantity, fourteen 10 ounce servings, enough for seven days.  If you don't want so much, cut it in half.  If you are using it to detox you are supposed to drink it twice daily.  Ideally you would drink this on a fast or limited diet.  The broth supplies, calcium, magnesium, chlorophyll, natural sodium and potassium to alkalinize your body.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound of string beans
  • 2 pounds zucchini
  • a hand full of curly parsley
  • enough water to cover your veggies
Into rapidly boiling water add above and boil for 10-15 min until fork goes thru outside of zucchini, puree using the water you cooked it in and make it the consistency you desire. Do not add salt or spices.

Recipe Notes
Sugar, caffeine, alcohol, meat, and stress make your body acidic.  An acidic body is a perfect site for disease.  To read more on this topic check out:

I know that alot of the articles don't provide a lot of studies but with all the research that I've done concerning the subject I wouldn't be surprised years down the road that this will become increasingly more important  regarding the avoidance of disease.  We all know that we should eat more fruits and veges!
