Seaweeds in granules and powder forms can be sprinkled in salads or mixed in smoothies, while whole leafs can be used in Miso soup.

Herbs

Pacific Botanicals sells wholesale only organically grown and wild-harvested herbs.

iHerb provides natural products, including herbs in bulk, at significant discount prices. Some of our family’s favorites include:

  • Organic Green Power Blend by Starwest Botanicals is high in chlorophyll, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and enzymes.
  • Brewer’s Yeast (grown on beet molasses) by Modern Products or Lewis Labs is high in B vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
  • Organic Rosehips Powder by Starwest Botanicals is high in C vitamin. You can make your own natural multi mineral and vitamin formula by mixing the above three complementary ingredients in desired proportions. Be creative and add other ingredients as well. Just sprinkle it in your own made vegetable juices, smoothies and salads for an incredible boost in energy.
  • Quick Colon Formula (Part 1 and Part 2) by Christopher’s Original Formula. Remember, if we do not have two bowel movements per day, we are constipated. Constipation facilitates both the production of toxins in the colon and their subsequent reabsorption in the bloodstream (Schultze, 2010).
  • Flax Oil by Barleans for the essential Omega 3 oils.
  • Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil by Nutiva is our first choice for cooking oil.
  • Organic Curry Powder by Starwest Botanicals has many health benefits. Its main ingredient, turmeric, has antiseptic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Kitchen Tools

Blenders

Vitamix offers high performance blenders, which provide an easy and delicious way to increase the quantity of vegetables and fruits in your diet. Blending increases digestibility and preserves enzymes, while the increased fiber content improves regularity. Check the original Vitamix recipes online.

Juicers

According to Dr. Schulze, drinking fresh juices is like a blood transfusion, rapidly restoring the quality of the blood even in anemic patients. We recommend masticating juicers, as opposed to high-speed centrifugal juicers, since they avoid oxidation and preserve better the quality of the juices (see Comparison of Juice Extractors: Enzymes). You can really taste the difference. The juicers below are also better at juicing green vegetables, including wheatgrass. For juicer comparisons, please check YouTube and choose your favorite.

  • Green Star Elite is a versatile juicer and food processor, which produces high quality juice.
  • Champion Juicer is an old-timer favorite. Make sure that you also get the “Greens Attachment” for juicing wheatgrass and leafy greens.
  • Omega Vert VRT350HD is a revolutionary high efficiency juicer in a compact vertical design.
