RECIPES FOR RESTORATION

OF HEALTH, LOGEVITY

AND WEIGHT LOSS

Loving yourself enhances your immune system, changes your cells, and allows you to become immune to toxicities, because the frequency of love is the most powerful force in existence.

-Barbara Marciniac author of Family of Light

MOTIVATING TRIGGERS

TO LOSE WEIGHT OR TO GET WELL:

Those who are highly motivated can break addictions or kick old habits cold turkey and stick to the change. Motivators that can serve as powerful, positive triggers are a life threatening illness, (Note: some people use their illness to get attention or sympathy from others or to manipulate others and make them feel guilty, obligated or responsible for them because they are sick); the loss of a loved one through a divorce, break up or death; the impulse to attract a new mate will motivate many to lose weight, as will a class reunion, wedding, or an important public appearance. Barring such triggers, most people are so addicted to cooked foods, processed foods and meats, they are not capable of summoning the internal motivation to take action or to stick to a program.

In lieu of the foregoing, it is a good idea to eliminate eating highly addictive foods like meat, fried foods, carbs (white, processed breads, pastas), and/or refined foods, ONE AT A TIME due to the addictive nature of such foods. Even after the physical cravings are gone, old habits die hard. Thus, one has to learn new habits in order to replace old ones. Generally, a person has to practice a new habit for 20-30 days before it becomes engrained. Those who have already tried and failed to lose weight with other diets, may not be desperate enough, motivated enough, or might not have enough will power to bite the bullet and give up addictive foods and substances all at once. Even though cold turkey is the quickest, most effective route to health and weight loss, it also takes the most courage, discipline and inspiration to stick to. So rather than set oneself up for disappointment, take one step at a time by eliminating one addictive food at a time, then tackle the next one.

REMINDER: Please refer to the Alphabetical Index to Health under “Weight Loss” for additional tips for easy weight loss. The Master Cleanse definitely works, but tends to be a bit drastic for most people and is not recommended for those who have not gotten rid of yeast or gotten their sugar levels regulated.

Start out with the smoothies, juices and shakes in this chapter for 7-10 days. Parthenia’s Plasma shake is a perfect transition into the Master Cleanse (See alphabetical Index to Health in Part II of this book under “Master Cleanse”). This smoothie is filling, satisfying and acts as a blood transfusion in that the water of the young coconut was used in WWII for plasma when blood was not available. The two components of blood are plasma and chlorophyll, so adding leafy greens to the shake turns it into a blood transfusion.

This program is designed to detox the blood and clear toxins out of the body. It is meant to be used in conjunction with a total body detox and cleanse of the liver, kidneys and intestines for parasites, heavy metals, Candida and mucous plaque.

First, start with a colon cleanse in conjunction with bentonite clay and a series of colonics to remove impactions and blockages from the colon, then do the other cleanses depending on the state of your health. For instance, if you have problems with sugar levels, yeast, mold or fungus (allergies) then do the Candida cleanse second (which can be done in conjunction with the parasite cleanse. Or, if your liver is toxic, do that one next. Those with kidney or bladder problems should do that one second. Liver and kidney cleanses can be done together.

Everybody has at least four pounds of parasites in their colon, so that cleanse is a priority and can be done in conjunction with the Candida cleanse. The point is: all of the cleanses need to be done. Those accustomed to detoxing regularly can handle doing more than one cleanse at a time, but first timers should do no more than two at a time.

Wait a week between cleanses and drink plenty of water while detoxing to flush toxins out.

It is also important to use a dry sauna to sweat out toxins and impurities, or if you do not have access to one, do some form of exercise that causes sweating.

CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING MUSCLE MASS

OR WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT?

In Hollywood there is an old adage that says: One can never be too rich or too thin. I always point this out to clients who want to gain weight (mostly men who are actually more interested in building muscle mass. Those concerned about losing muscle mass while on a live/raw food diet, need not be concerned because the thiamin in Vitamin B1 actually builds muscle mass.

Those who are already thin and are worried about losing weight on this diet need not be concerned either. When clients ask me how to gain weight, my answer is: When the body is detoxed of heavy metals, parasites, colon impactions and other toxins, then fed proper nutrition through live foods and supplements, it will automatically decrease the weight of those who need to lose weight and increase the weight of those who need to gain. Our bodies are magnificently designed and more intelligent than any computer; it knows what to do to maintain health, beauty and vitality when we give it a break from having to protect us from all of the toxins we bombard it with on a daily basis.

Deficiencies of Magnesium, Vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, and Nicotinic Acid will result in an inability to lose weight, or if one is under weight, will prevent one from gaining weight as well.

Vitamin B1 (thiamin) deficiencies can cause: atrophy of muscles, diminished reflexes; poor endurance in walking. Best sources of Vitamin B1 (thiamin) are wheat germ, dried soy beans, brazil nuts, pecans, peanuts, hazel nuts, oats, whole wheat, dried peas and dried beans.

A deficiency of Vitamin D can cause: flabby, weak muscles; rheumatic pains in limbs, softened bones; joint swellings. Best sources of Vitamin D: egg yolk, butter, milk metabolized with vitamin D, whole, dried milk.

Potassium assures the elasticity of the muscular tissues and balances the acids in the body. A deficiency will result in constipation, incomplete digestion and weak muscular control. The best sources of potassium are tomato, kale, lettuce, celery, cabbage, Swiss chard, and cucumber.

DAILY FOOD RATIO

Keep in mind the following ratio in daily food selection:

10% Dried fruits, nuts, beans and peas (constructive)

20% Whole Grains and Starches (reconstructive) includes bananas and potatoes

30% Raw Vegetables (eliminative), includes raw milk products and salad dressings

40% Raw Juicy Fruits (strongly eliminative)

NOTE: Those who are diabetic or have Candida yeast should eliminate all fruits, carbs and sugars for 30 days to starve the yeast and get the infection under control first. During this time, focus on healthy fats like avocadoes and olive oil, and omega three oils like flax seeds, to regenerate the liver.

PARTHENIA’S LIQUID FOOD FAST

BENEFITS

• provides more substance than the Master Cleanse

• is satisfying to the taste buds,

• feels like a real meal on the stomach

• provides enough energy for workouts

• one cannot workout or do strenuous work on the Master Cleanse

• One will lose 7-8 pounds per week

• One does not feel tired, bored or food deprived

• One can substitute any combination of fresh fruits and vegetables

FRUITS AND VEGGIES TO AVOID WITH LIQUID FAST:

• Bananas are a carb and tend to constipate and too dense;

• broccoli and cauliflower create gas and increase weight gain

• Potatoes and beans are carbs

Remember to drink your minimum daily requirement of water while on a liquid fast, take a laxative tea or magnesium before going to bed, drink a cup of apple cider vinegar tea first thing in the morning and be sure to administer enemas, if not having three bowel movements a day.

BREAKFAST SMOOTHIES AND JUICES

For a Liquid Fast Choose any of the Following Juices or Smoothies

• 8-12 ounces of Parthenia’s Plasma Shake, or

• 6-8 ounces of any of the following fresh squeezed juices:

• orange juice (squeezed and blended in blender)

• pineapple juice (made in the blender)

• pink grapefruit (juiced and blended in the blender)

• apple juice (made in the juicer)

• grape juice (made in juicer)

Young coconuts are a staple item. They are white and shaved to a peak at the top. The water from young coconuts is identical to blood plasma. Thus, a shake with the water and tender meat from a young cocoanut thrown into a blender with spinach and arugula become a blood transfusion because the chlorophyll from the green plants make up the other component of blood (Eating For Beauty, David Wolfe)

PARTHENIA’S PLASMA

Makes enough for four people

Drink this every day, whether fasting or not, since it curbs the appetite, speeds up or regulates the metabolism, and the ingredients build the blood in that water from a young coconut has the same ingredients as plasma, minus the chlorophyll. That is the reason for adding green spinach and arugula. The chlorophyll in them creates a green blood transfusion. Blood in our bodies is actually blue green and only turns red when exposed to oxygen. Use your favorite fruits. The following are the fruits and vegetables I prefer and why:

NOTE: ON A CANDIDA CLEANSE, OMIT THE FRUITS (COCONUT IS NOT A FRUIT; IT’S A NUT)

1 young coconut (water and flesh)

1 mango (very high in antioxidants and beta carotene)

1 cup of pineapple (contains digestive enzymes)

1 cup of papaya (contains digestive enzymes)

1 handful of spinach (anti aging, prevents cancer and macular degeneration of the eye) and arugula (contains vitamin C, E and beta carotene)

or spinach and cilantro (cilantro kills parasites and cleanses heavy metals). Note: Both arugula and cilantro are pungent so mixing them together can create a really strong taste, so use one or the other, if unable to handle the pungent taste of both

ice or water to create the coldness and consistency desired

1 tablespoon of raw cacao (a super food full of vitamins and minerals)

1 tablespoon of maca (for energy or male potency)

1 tablespoon of hemp (powerful protein)

1 teaspoon Super Greens powder (choose your favorite but include spirulina)

1 teaspoon of orange, vanilla, or lemon extract

Dash of cinnamon, allspice, cloves (to kill parasites) and nutmeg

¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (blood purifier that cleanses the arteries and raises metabolism)

Pour the remaining plasma in a cold thermos, chill in the freezer to drink during the day.

PARTHENIA’S PLAIN COCONUT MILK OR CHOCOLATE COCONUT MILK

(makes one glass)

1 large, young coconut

1 tablespoon of orange extract

Ice Cubes

2 pitted dates

For chocolate milk add 2 tbls of raw carob or raw chocolate then blend

Pour the water and scraped meat from the young coconut into blender along with the orange extract, dates and ice. Blend.

This is a filling drink that satisfies hunger and cuts the appetite.

JUICING

Use as many dark, leafy green vegetables as possible because of their high content of B vitamins and calcium, especially kale, chard, water cress, bok choi, mustard, turnip, collars, cilantro, arugula, and cabbage.

Cabbage and cilantro are known to kill intestinal worms, while cilantro is a blood purifier and heavy metal cleanser. Combine leafy greens with carrots, beets, apples, carrots or pineapple to sweeten. Pineapples contain digestive enzymes.

Fresh, vegetable juice provides the best source of antioxidants and blood purifiers available to reverse the aging clock and induce weight loss for those who need it or to increase weight for those who are under weight. Drink a glass of vegetable juice a day whether fasting or not.

PARTHENIA’S LIVE JUICE POTION

3 large beets

3 bunches of Kale

3 large or six small Fuji or Gala apples

This should make a quart. Drink within two days. It is very filling.

The following soups will suffice for dinner with flax seed crackers sprinkled on top (available at Whole Foods). Alternatively, the juice and meat of a young cocoanut will suffice for dinner or a filling snack.

PARTHENIA’S SOUP FOR LIFE:

Choice of vegetables can be varied according to individual taste.

Do not leave out the avocado, basil, cilantro or dill.

Ingredients:

1 large avocado or 2 small avocadoes

½ cup of chopped leeks

1 small turnip or daikon radish

1 handful of spinach, or bok choi, or watercress

1 handful of arugula

1 half bunch of cilantro

1 sprig of fresh basil

1 sprig of fresh rosemary (1/2 length of index finger)

1 small sprig of fresh dill

2 cubes of low sodium vegetable bullion (from Whole Foods)

1 fresh lemon (squeezed)

1 cup of baby carrots

1 jalapeno pepper (take out seeds)

1 slice of onion

½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper

1 lime

1 lemon

2 cups of hot water

Lay out vegetables so that they are room temperature, before placing into the blender. If they are fresh out of the fridge, run hot water over them so that they are not cold.

Dump all of the ingredients into your blender except for the lemon juice. Pour two cups of boiling water into the blender until the blender is almost half full of water. This hot water will not destroy the enzymes in the vegetables because the vegetables themselves are not boiled.

Blend until smooth in the blender. Squeeze the lemon/lemon juice into the blender after ingredients are smooth, and then blend again. Serve immediately. Soup best served warm.

PARTHENIA’S HEIRLOOM TOMATO BASIL SOUP

(serves two)

2 Large Heirloom tomatoes, chopped

½ cup basil

1 small sprig of rosemary (1/2 size of index finger)

1 cup of chopped cilantro leaves

2 limes

1 tbl apple cider vinegar

2 tbl Nana Shoyu Soy Sauce or balsamic vinegar

2 tbl herbed white wine vinegar

1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

1 small bottle of seedless Kalamata olives cut in half for garnish

½ to one cup of hot water (depending on thickness of soup)

½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper

Dash of Himalayan sea salt to taste

Dump vegetables into blender with seasonings and hot water. Blend until smooth. Garnish with kalamata olives along with a little of their juice and a few leaves of basil or chopped basil.

CELERIAC AND GREEN APPLE SOUP

(From Raw Food/Real World by Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis)

Celeriac, a member of the celery family7, is an ugly, knobby root. It has a nice half-celery, half-parsley flavor, though, and is especially valuable as an ingredient in soups. Here, the woodsy, naturally salty freshness of the celeriac’s essence complements the tartness of green apple and the earthiness of black truffles or raw, dark chocolate shavings. In addition, celeriac is extremely low in calories, with no fat or cholesterol, immensely high in fiber, uniquely rich in flavor and full of raw recipe potential.

4 cups peeled, chopped celeriac

1 ½ cup chopped green apple

1 ½ cups raw macadamia nuts, soaked for 1 hour or more

1 ½ cups filtered water

2 tablespoons coconut butter

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup lemon juice

sea salt to taste

freshly ground cayenne pepper

¼ cup minced chives

1 small, fresh black truffle, shaved or julienned (optional)

Substitute sprinkles of raw, dark chocolate shavings (1 tablespoon)

½ cup black truffle oil

¼ cup of chopped chervil leaves or cilantro leaves

Blend the celeriac and green apple until smooth, then strain. Pour juice back into blender then put in other ingredients, except for oil, then blend until smooth. If it tastes too grainy because of the macadamia nuts, strain again. Serve room temperature with oil drizzled on top.

PINEAPPLE CUCUMBER GAZPACHO

½ cup chopped cilantro

1 tomato, chopped

1 avocado, chopped

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

MEDITERRANEAN ONION BREAD PIZZA

Rawvolution cookbook by Matt Amsden

Onion Bread Recipe:

3 yellow onions

¾ cup of Raw Flax Seeds

¾ cup Raw Sunflower Seeds

1/3 cup of Olive Oil

1/3 cup of Nama Shoyu Soy Sauce (it’s raw)

Grind the fax seeds and sunflower seeds in a coffee grinder to make the flour.

Pour flour into a bowl, and then use your food processor or a knife to cut the onions into round slices. Put them in the bowl with the flour. Pour olive oil and soy sauce on top then mix with a spatula until it is blended.

Spread dough onto your dehydrator sheet to a thickness of no more than a fourth or a half of an inch; otherwise it will be difficult to dry. It takes 24 to 48 hours to dehydrate at 117 degrees, depending on the thickness of your loaf. You may need to turn the bread over to dry both sides evenly.

RACHEL CARR’S MEXICAN MENU

Rachel Carr is the award winning chef at Cru Vegan Raw Restaurant in Silver lake, California. She is an intuitive, self taught chef who comes up with one of the most creative and amazingly original menus of raw food and desserts in Los Angeles. I never get tired of eating at her restaurant because she always has some kind of new special for me to try out. You have not lived until you’ve tried her chocolate raspberry crepes with coconut custard ice cream. I’ve included that in the list of recipes. I am also a big fan of her pesto and mushroom ravioli.
