A Green Smoothie for Cancer Prevention


We have chosen specific fruits and vegetables that support the specific imbalances in the body that lead to cancer cell overgrowth.

We use two Green Apples for wonderful flavoring. Apples are a good source of vitamin C which is a necessary nutrient needed to turn the cancer overgrowth tide around. Sometimes we use six Pears instead of the green apples. Pears are also a good source of vitamin C and like apples contain pectin, a fruit fiber which slows the absorption of sugars. In spite of tasting sweeter pears often have a lower glycemic index than even green apples. It is important to keep sweets/sugars as low glycemic as possible as this is the primary energy source for cancer cells.

We use one bunch of Kale because it is at the top of the nutrient table in the majority of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, etc. Kale is rich in magnesium which supports our nervous system and is the control switch behind the sodium potassium pumps in our cell walls. K Magnesium is also vital for the absorption of calcium into our bones and Kale conveniently supplies the needed calcium as well as Vitamin C. ale is also rich in the B vitamins which support the nervous system and are very involved in energy production. A not so well known benefit of eating Kale is the amazing protein content. Kale contains over 40% protein by dry weight! Kale is also rich in chlorophyll, the blood of plants which enhances oxygenation of the body. Chlorophyll is almost identical to hemoglobin which is the oxygen carrying molecule in our blood. The difference is that chlorophyll contains magnesium whereas hemoglobin contains iron. Chlorophyll carries carbon dioxide while blood carries oxygen. This is also evidence of our symbiotic relationship with plant life. We breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide while plant breath in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.

We use ten stalks of Celery because it is a wonderful source of organic sodium that our body can use effectively.

We use two Cucumbers because they are rich in potassium, which is the primary electrolyte inside our cells. Potassium works in sodium-potassium pumps in cell walls which control intake of nutrients and excretion of cellular metabolic wastes. This is a critical process for those suffering the imbalance that leads to cancer cell overgrowth. Toxins must be removed as fast as possible so that homeostasis can once again be regained and health will then return no matter what your condition. Potassium is also critical in transmitting electrical energy throughout our nervous system.

We use a few stalks of Parsley which is high in iron, contains 3 times as much vitamin C as an orange, and is rich in calcium and magnesium. Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron from vegetable sources up to fourfold and calcium and magnesium work together in muscle contraction and relaxation.

We use a small knob of Ginger which is a wonderful circulatory stimulant that enhances the delivery of all nutrients to the cells through the bloodstream. Ginger contains anti-inflammatory properties so it helps reduce inflammation all over the body and possesses “anti platelet” activity, which helps thin blood and reduces the risk of clotting.

We use one lemon, a wonderful source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is important for immunity and tissue integrity as is involved in collagen formation. The pith is rich in bioflavonoids which enhance the absorption and activity of vitamin C. The organic acids in lemons cause the body to alkalize which in turn allows the body to release toxins from the lymphatic tissues, dissolves plastic residues built up in tissues, and creates an environment unfriendly to pathogens as well as cancer cells. Lemons are also rich in many B vitamins, are a great source of potassium and calcium, and add an enjoyable tangy taste to our juice recipe.
