A Purifying Diet

clean fabrics, clean body tissues, take on the color or dye of health. The liver-flush in the morning with fruit or vegetable juices, a raw salad with a baked vegetable dish at noon, and fruit for supper is an ideal and simple diet for health.

AT NOON: Take a raw salad made of fresh greens, like lettuce, finely grated cabbage or other edible greens in season, together with grated carrots, radishes, turnips, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions or whatever is suitable and available. The contents can be suited to taste, but should definitely include sprouts made of mung or soy beans, foenugreek [fenugreek] and alfalfa seeds. To this salad may be added a dressing of almond, olive, sesame or other good vegetable oil together with lemon and ginger, garlic, and onion to suit the taste. If there is constipation, then add some pears to the salad. A pomegranate, papaya, mango, apple, pear, grapes, figs, dates, or raisins - any one of them or a combination makes a nice dessert. This constitutes a delightfully wholesome meal, providing all the necessary protein, vitamins and minerals in an appetizing and easily assimilable form, as found in Nature. A dish of plain baked vegetables, with sprouts and lentils may be added if hungry.

NOTE: Boil for about one hour, the vegetable pulp residue from the vegetable juice made in the morning, together with onion, if desired; strain, and take this as a hot beverage between meals. Add fresh ginger juice to suit the taste; a little black pepper can also be added to vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower and turnips to prevent gas formation.

During the afternoon take another glass full of fresh raw vegetable juice, like in the morning. Again boil the residue vegetable pulp, to which other fresh green vegetables or leaves may be added as desired and available, which can be used as a hot soup later in the afternoon or before retiring. Fresh fruit juices can be taken between meals or at night, but not with meals.

EVENING MEAL, DINNER: Use papaya freely, or fruits like apples, pears, grapes, and pomegranates plus the herb tea
