Amazing Beautiful – Wondrous Things … Animals, Kids, Inspiration, Fun : )

LATEST UPDATE 1/28/2012:

In 2009 and 2010, Dave the Raw Food Trucker experienced a cancer remission, full kidney recovery and complete diabetes healing using the “rainbow diet” nutritional program created by Dr. Gabriel Cousens. Dave lost almost 200 pounds and was able to return to work.

In 2011, Dave the Raw Food Trucker suffered a heart attack.

Now, in 2012, Dave has recovered from his heart attack and is once again promoting a mostly raw lifestyle. He will be coming out with a book within the next two years and will have products, services and more information at that time.

The videos below of Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Dave’s inspiration, may help explain the diet Dave used. Thousands of people have experienced Dr. Cousens’ diabetes cure and now live a medication free life.

Another great benefit of Dr. Cousen’s diet is the normalization of weight. Again, Dave lost 200 pounds on the diet. Currently, under the tutulage of Dan McDonald a raw food “liferegenerator,” Bill Barlow lost 90 pounds in only 4 months on the green juice diet. Bill eats all the fresh, raw vegetables he wants, as did Dave.

(Note: Dr. Cousens is a medical doctor, and as such, can presribe and recommend medical treatments. If one is seeking to lose weight or regain health, it is highly recommended that you do your own research and read Dr. Cousens’ books and other fully qualified medical authors in full, and consult with a credentialed professional.)

DAN THE MAN – DAN MCDONALD LIFEREGENERATOR
RAW GREEN JUICE RECIPE
with DAVE THE RAW FOOD TRUCKER & BILL BARLOW

Recipe for Green Juice – Great for Dieting and Losing Weight

This is the original green juice recipe that Dan the Man and Dave the Raw Food Trucker used back in 2009. Dan is now a popular raw food hero and strong proponent of fresh, live green juice. He believes in the natural healing and diet benefits of raw fruits and vegetables.

These ingredients are what Dan and Dave used to make 3 gallons worth of juice at once. This is an ULTRA LOW-glycemic juice that Dan and Dave credit for helping cure his body of Type II Diabetes & Stage IV Colon Cancer.

Dan, Dave and Bill are ALL about having their produce be 100% organic. Just do the best you can!

— 1 bottle of E3Live Algae (Blue Green Algae)
— Rainbow Light Advanced Systems Digestive Enzymes (to help control gas, especially when you first jump into a program like this! If you can’t find this brand, look for a type that’s raw vegan & whole-plant sourced)

* IMPORTANT – Whatever you do, be SURE a diet is right for you by checking with your physician, or at least reading up information from a bonafide DOCTOR. There are books referenced by Dr. Gabriel Cousens, M.D., here, to start with. *

*Dan added a couple more ingredients,
picked fresh from the garden!*

— Broccoli ~ Some call it the “answer to cancer” but what do you think?

WHAT TO DO WITH THE PULP?

Here’s a list of things you can do with the pulp remains:

* Make delicious broth for soups
* Broth for cooking sprouted grains, rice, etc.
* Broth for a delightful “vegetable tea”
* Use pulp to make nutritious cookies, muffins, cakes
* Pets love simmered pulp leavings – delicious! : )
* Added to home made pet food
* Excellent Compost for your cozy bin of worms (they love it : )

Enjoy!

Notes:

Some people believe that many people no longer have all the digestive enzymes they need and cannot simply digest all the nutrients they need. People crave more food because they’re not getting what they need. Today’s food in cans, jars, bottles and boxes have lost all their enzymes.

About Juice Feasting
“After starting a juice feast, a lot of women who are post menopausal regain their periods after day 10 and 22. Raw juicing can bring your body back to where it really belongs.”

* B e n e f i t s * according to Dan the Man

— Red Chard ~ High in betacarotene

— Collard Greens ~ High in phytonutrients

— Kale ~ Has the highest known level of phytonutrients in it that are digestible by humans (over 2x the level of spinach!)

— Beets ~ Beet green leaves have 2,000x the level of Vitamin K in them than the actual beets, so that’s why its worth it to Dave to buy them just for their greens!

— Bell Peppers ~ Great for flavor

— Celery & Cucumber ~ Function well as a hydrating juice base

— Tomatoes ~ Dave likes them because of the lycopene and chooses not to believe what they say about having to cook tomatoes in order to get more lycopene, for if you’re cooking tomatoes, you’re destroying the very enzymes that your body needs to digest the lycopene! What good is ingesting more lycopene if you can’t adequately digest, assimilate & utilize it?

— Aloe Leaf ~ Incredible for the cardiovascular system!
