Yummy Yummy Yummy Raw Butternut Squash Coconut Soup in my TUMMY!

The soup has a really buttery flavor even though it contains no oils or fats aside from the fresh almond milk. It has a few more spices than Ann Wigmore might have been comfortable with. But other than that, it fits right into her diet. Nothing fancy about these ingredients at all. Combined together: YUM!

Serves: (depending on bowl size, 10ish)

Ingredients (use organic)

• 3 cups chopped, peeled butternut squash
• 2 1/2 cups shredded coconut  (macaroon cut preferably)
• 6 cups fresh almond milk (make your almond milk by blending in a high-speed blender 1 cup of raw soaked almonds with six cups of purified water
• 2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 Tablespoon curry
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
• 4 cloves garlic

Note From Patty: Wow, Rheba hit it out of the park with this salad. My favorite raw salad.  I could eat it every day. Imagine the possibilities here — things you could add to it (onions, dehydrated mushrooms, etc…)

Our Featured Raw Chef for this post is Rheba Mohammed of Detroit. We are very grateful to her for sharing her talent with us. Rheba currently is serving as a volunteer at the center and working in the grow room. She has years of experience as a raw chef and several times I’ve heard people say, “Anything Rheba makes tastes great.”

The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. And it’s inexpensive, too.

THANK YOU RHEBA!

Rheba’s Raw Moo Shoo Salad

• 5 cups of white cabbage, shredded
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 teasp Himalayan sea salt
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice

CHI Cucumber Sandwiches with Patty’s Ranch Dressing and Patty’s Indian Coconut Soup

Dear Friends,

I hope you enjoy this delicious soup recipe. And to those of you who tried the mushroom soup, I’m really sorry if, when you dehydrated it, it fermented on you. We discovered the same thing in our own kitchen and decided that mushroom soup is best served at room temperature or warmed just slightly in your Vitamix. This week I’ve created for you a soup you can heat in the dehydrator. I just LOVE it and so do a few other people around here. If you like Indian food, I suspect you’ll love it, too. If you’re not super crazy about Indian food, you’ll probably be able to take it or leave it. Whatever the case, I hope that if you’ve ever visited Creative Health Institute, you’ll be able to appreciate that it’s a great way to re-purpose our perpetually accumulating carrot pulp. We serve carrot juice daily to all of our guests who are addressing cancer challenges so we always have lots of carrot pulp around.

Also,  our friend Garrett from Texas wrote to ask that we include a good number of soups without cashews because many people like to avoid eating them. Considering Garrett’s suggestion this soup is cashew free.

And for those of you who want to spice up your Valentine’s Day, serve it like I do — with a few extra sprinkles of cayanne pepper.

Also, I want to say thank you to those of you who have offered to donate cameras! We received our first camera gift in the mail yesterday from Dolores and it enabled me to take this photograph for the blog. Julia just dropped off a camera that will allow us to take short videos. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We are so grateful to Delores and to Julia  to all of you consider  who Creative Health Institute so generously. Please remember one easy way to support our wonderful community is simply to do all of your online shopping through our link to Amazon.com on our web page. Each time you shop online through our online store, CHI receives a donation that will enable us to help others.

Love and blessings,

Patty

Patty’s Delicious  Raw Ranch Dressing

Blend in your high speed blender:

• 2 cups of soaked raw cashews

This is a delicious ranch dressing for any raw salad or wrap. You may enjoy making our CHI Cucumber Sandwiches with it. Do it just like this:

1. Take a square of your favorite raw bread (keep it simple…don’t use anything that overpowers the simple flavors of this yummy sandwich).
2. Spread thinly sliced organic cucumbers in a thin bottom layer.
3. Add about a tablespoon full of Patty’s Ranch Dressing on top of the cucumbers.
4. Put two slices of avocado on top the dressing (it will help to hold on the dressing and tomatoes if you place them right).
5. Add a spoonful of chopped tomatoes.
6. Garnish with alfalfa sprouts.

This yummy sandwich was a joint creation of Patty, Don, Cheryl and Johannes from Austria. We hope you will enjoy the subtle flavors! We couldn’t assemble them fast enough and interns were gobbling them off the platter as we made them.

 Nothing Cleanses The Lymph System Like Dry Skin Brushing

 What is the largest organ in the body? THE SKIN!

1. What is one of the most important elimination organs in the body? THE SKIN!
2. What organ is responsible for ¼ of the body’s detoxification each day?
   THE SKIN!
3. What organ eliminates up to 2 pounds of waste acids, daily? THE SKIN!
4. When the blood has an over abundance of toxic materials, what organ will reflect this with problems? THE SKIN! 

Dry skin brushing is a swift and powerful way to enhance the detoxification process . Its easy, pleasant and yields tremendous benefits!

Dry brushing has been used for centuries by Scandinavians and Russians. More than 30 years ago, a Finnish doctor and one the greatest doctors of the century, Paavo Airola prescribed dry skin brushing for all his patients for detoxifying the lymph system and to exfoliate and stimulate the skin. Today,many health practitioners recommend dry skin brushing to open the pores of the skin and clean out the lymphatic system.  Dry skin brushing is not only a great way to maintain healthy skin, but also helps maintain a healthy body. The ability of the skin to open up the pores to excrete toxins is of paramount importance in helping to overcome autointoxication. 

When the pores are not clogged with dead cells and the lymphatic system is stimulated and cleansed, all organs in the body are better able to carry out the important function of eliminating toxic waste. Further, it increases blood circulation in all underlying organs and tissues. 

As part of a detoxification and autointoxication cleansing program, our guests combine skin brushing, saunas and warm and cold showers. Follow these steps for the highest level of cleansing:

1. Skin brush before entering the sauna, remain in the sauna until in a full sweat.
2. Take a warm shower followed by a quick cold shower
3. Dry off all of your body and dry skin brush again – always towards your heart accept for between the bottom and top of your neck.
4. Jump back into the sauna and remain to the point of flowing perspiration. 
5. This combination of skin brushing, saunas and showers has proved to be a powerful method for eliminating waste and toxins from the body.

CHI recommends you dry skin brush, morning and night, before your enema, during the program, then once a day after the program is completed.

       I.        A long-handled natural bristle brush, with a removable head is best. 

      II.        When you first start be sure to brush the skin lightly. Always towards your heart accept for between the bottom and top of your neck.

    III.        As the skin becomes toned, you may brush heavier.  Women should not brush their breast.

   IV.        Start at the bottom of the feet using a straight motion. 

     V.        Brush in long strokes from the feet toward the waist.

   VI.        Brush from the waste to the bottom of your rib cage, moving the brush with clockwise circular motions.

  VII.        Brush the ribcage towards the heart.

 VIII.        Hold your arm out in front of you and brush from your fingers toward your shoulders.

   IX.        Brush up from the bottom of your neck to the top of it

     X.        Brush from the bottom of your neck toward your heart.

   XI.        Brush your skin until it gets a red glow.

  XII.        Women should avoid doing the breasts. 

 XIII.        Never wet your dry skin brush, accept for cleaning. Avoid sensitive areas and anywhere the skin is broken.

 XV.        Skin brushing should take about 5 minutes. Clean your skin brush using soap and water once a week. After rinsing, dry your skin brush in an open, sunny spot to prevent mildew.

Proper Showering After Dry Brushing

If you are not following the aforementioned routine, a shower should always follow skin brushing. 

1. This will remove uric acid crystals along with any dead skin that has been loosened. 
2. Always start your shower with warm water and end with cold. 
3. Once the water is cold, do not stay in any longer.  When the water turns cold, let it hit your legs first.  Do not let it hit your heart or head first as this can cause a slight shock to the body. 
4. Vigorously dry off your body.
5. Though this is not a problem here at CHI hot shower temperatures create steam that can disperse toxic chemicals found in unfiltered water:   Therefore, avoid hot showers, if your water is not filtered. 

The Seven Magnificent Benefits of Dry Skin Brushing

      I.        Opens pores, removes toxins and dead skin allowing the skin to breath.

    II.        Increases blood circulation and healthy cell renewal.

   III.        Helps to stimulate hormone and oil-producing glands.

  IV.        Helps to take the load off other organs by helping the eliminative system, discharge metabolic wastes, greatly aiding with the movement of lymph and the lymphatic drainage of the entire body.

   V.        Helps in rejuvenating the nervous system. Helps improve muscle tone and prevent fat deposits, including cellulite.

  VI.        Rejuvenates the skin and improves complexion.

 VII.        Dry skin brushing stimulates the lymph canals to drain toxic lymph matter into the colon, thereby purifying the entire system. This enables the lymph to perform its house-cleaning duties by keeping the blood and other vital tissues detoxified. After several days of dry brushing, you may notice the gelatinous lymph material in your stools.’

Carrot Celery Clean Sweep

Makes 1 large or two small glasses

Ingredients:

• 1 celery stick
• 11 oz of carrots
• 5 oz green grapes
• several large sprigs of parsley
• celery and/or carrot stick to serve as garnish

Directions:

1. Using a sharp knife, roughly chop the celery and carrots. Push Half of the celery, carrots and grapes through a juicer, then add the parsley sprigs. Add the remaining celery, carrots and grapes in the same way and juice until thoroughly combined.
2. Pour into one or two glasses and serve with celery and/or carrot stick stirrers for garnish.

Health Tip: This juice is so packed with goodness, you can almost feel it cleansing and detoxing your body. As well as valuable vitamins, the carrots and grapes provide plenty of natural sweetness, which blends perfectly with the mild pepperiness of the celery and fresh scent of parsley. Drink this juice on a regular basis to give your system a thorough clean-out. Carrots are an excellent source of antioxidant compounds, and the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes. Carrots’ antioxidant compounds help protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer and also promote good vision, especially night vision.

Kelli Vaccarelli, who is a guest teacher and alternative health advocate, asked me to speak on different types of juice that would help with bone healing. Since I believe in nutritious foods strengthen and heal our bodies and yes even mend broken bones.  The first thing I recommend for helping to heal broken bones  is juices, energy soups and smoothies made with wheat grass, dark leafy green vegetables, sprouted seeds, grains, nuts (nut milk) of course wild edibles, like comfrey and lambs quarters.

All of the aforementined foods, especially any food you have sprouted are nutritional powerhouses and should always be a part of your bone mending program.  All of them are loaded with iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, these minerals are proven bone healers. We can’t forget about the vitamins and phytonutrients, especially C, E, K, many of the B vitamins, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.  

My favorite green plant is wild comfrey, it has so many amazing medicinal uses. For thousands of years mankind has juiced, made tea and drank comfrey, for many good reasons.

In the case of helping a broken bone to heal it would be my personal first choice.  It has proven to accelerate healing and strengthen broken bones. Unfortunately I would be breaking the law if I told you to juice it or make tea with it, as a resent law has been handed down and it’s no longer legal to ingest comfrey. There is another way to get the benefit of this wonder green and that it to make a poultice with it and apply it over the break. I have also heard that some homeopaths have a tincture that is made from comfrey and they are able to bypass the legal issues of consuming comfrey. I will need to do more research on this one.

Another mineral laden food is sea vegetables and you should try to add them all of your juices. Here at CHI we make sure we have at least 3 teaspoons of these super foods every day. You can blend them in to any juice; I also suggest sprinkling ground sea vegetables, because of their salty taste, on to raw soups, veggies and salads.

What other foods could be used to make up the bone healing juice?

 When you make the bone healing juice, don’t forget to fortify it with seed and/or nut milks. The milks will help speed the mending of broken bones. Make sure all of your nuts and seeds are RAW, organic, soaked and sprouted.  Soaking and sprouting your nuts, seeds, and grains brings out the optimum level of nutrition. My favorite for healing broken bones is sesame milk.

Another thing is, don’t forget to blend in at least a small clove of garlic it will fortify the juice and help reduce inflammation and protect the broken bone from infection.

Kelly, there are dozens of great foods you can juice,  that will help your friend accelerate the healing of the broken bone. Below is a list of some of the ones I would include as long as I remembered to always include the leafy green vegetable-plant and sprouts as the base.

• Apples
• Broccoli
• Carrots
• Sweet potatoes
• All Squash
• Oatmeal- make in to a milk and add to juice
• Grapes, especially red grapes
• Grapefruit, especially pink
• Raw Honey
• Sprouted Garbanzos
• Tomato

Kelly, I wish you the happiest new year ever and and hope and pray your friend heals quickly.

As Always,

Bobby
