A Purifying Diet

The seeds should be chewed thoroughly, and then the residue can be spit out. This is a valuable procedure, which adds to the vital benefit of the fruits as cleansers and utilizes the whole fruit. Nothing is wasted in this way. Chewing these seeds after taking the garlic removes the odor and taste of garlic, as does also chewing some parsley or other edible greens of high chlorophyll (green) content. Brushing the teeth with a good toothpaste also helps to remove the garlic odor as does chewing fresh mint leaves, or cardamom or cloves and the like.

TWO HOURS AFTER BREAKFAST: Have eight ounces or more of fresh vegetable juice made from green cabbage, carrots, lettuce and other edible greens that are available, along with one or two ounces of red beet juice. To this may also be added the juice of radish, onion or turnips to suit the taste. Also, ginger juice, fresh lemon and honey may be added, if desired, to suit the taste. Two or three cloves of garlic may also be chewed and swallowed with this drink.

NOTE: Sip this juice slowly and thoroughly insalivate it before swallowing to obtain the greatest benefit from it. In fact, all foods should be thoroughly masticated and insalivated before swallowing to enhance digestion; and the insalivation also applies to the liquids. Liquids are taken between meals by themselves, not with meals.

That all has to be resolved in the healing crisis of elimination, like dirt is pounded out of laundry. Only
