Now that the supply of spring wild greens is diminishing I decided to include start this. So far feels great (though not my favourite taste!

Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie

Ingredients:

2 bananas
2 cups wild blueberries
1 cup cilantro (coriander)
1 cup orange juice
1 tsp barley grass juice powder
1 tsp spirulina
1 small handful of Atlantic dulse
Optional: water or coconut water or fresh orange juice to blend

Directions:

In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. If a thinner consistency is desired, add up to 1 cup of water. Enjoy

Spirulina: This edible blue-green algae draws out heavy metals from your brain, central nervous system, and liver, and soaks up heavy metals extracted by barley grass juice extract powder. Take 2 teaspoons mixed in water, coconut water, or juice.

Barley grass juice powder: prepares the mercury for complete absorption by the spirulina. This nutritive grass has the ability to draw heavy metals out of your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system. Drink 1-2 teaspoons mixed into coconut water or juice.

Coriander: Goes deep into hard-to-reach places, extracting metals from yesteryear (so it’s great for that mercury inheritance you’re carrying around!). Blend one cup in a smoothie or juice, or add to salad or guacamole.

Wild blueberries: Draw heavy metals out of your brain tissue, healing and repairing any gaps created by oxidation when the heavy metals are removed. It is important to use wild blueberries, as they possess unique phytonutrients with special detoxifying capabilities. The potent antioxidants in wild blueberries help reverse any oxidative damage left behind by the heavy metal removal. This is especially important for your brain tissue—in fact, wild blueberries are the most powerful food for halting or in some cases reversing Alzheimer’s and dementia. Eat at least one cup daily. Note: while cultivated blueberries are nutritious, they lack the metal-drawing ability of the wild blueberries. Wild blueberries can be found in the freezer section of most supermarkets.

Atlantic dulse: In addition to mercury, this edible seaweed binds to lead, aluminum, copper, cadmium, and nickel. Unlike other seaweeds, Atlantic dulse is a powerful force for removing mercury on its own. Atlantic dulse goes into deep, hidden places of the digestive tract and gut, seeking out mercury, binding to it, and never releasing it until it leaves the body. Eat two tablespoons of flakes daily, or an equal amount of strips if it’s in whole-leaf form. Note: As it comes from the ocean, if you are concerned about the dulse itself having mercury, be aware that Atlantic sea dulse will not release any mercury it might possess into the body. It holds on to the mercury as it works its way through, and even grabs onto other metals along the way and drives them out as well. Atlantic dulse is a critical part of the team because it can hang out near the finish line (i.e., our colon), waiting for the other foods that have been grabbing on to heavy metals along the way. It serves as emergency backup, helping ensure that all the heavy metals that made it as far as the colon actually leave the body.

This smoothie recipe gives you a simple and tasty way to get all of these five foods into your daily diet in just one go. Drink this smoothie daily for optimal benefits.

As a member of the mustard family, which includes cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, mustard and watercress, garlic mustard contains cancer-preventing chemicals isothiocyanates, from the mustard family. It also contains allyl sulfides, from the garlic family.

Recently, as the wild greens are a little tougher than earlier in the season, I’ve been preparing. delicious daily juice with wild greens, carrot, apple, ginger, cucumber, lemon and celery. The wild greens I find locally where I am are mostly wild garlic, garlic mustard, hawthorn leaves, pennywort, nettles, primrose leaves, yellow archangel, young bramble leaf tips, dandelion leaves and cleavers. This should keep going until the strawberry season begins and there is new wild nutrition.

Bountiful ingredients – we take every day! I just take it in a glass of spring water.

I especially appreciate the Rhodiola and ginseng in it. And it’s great to have a source of Ashitabe which is one of the few herbs which effectively stimulates nerve growth factor. Lion’s mane is another.

It seems to lift energy as soon as it gets into the system.

Hawthorn leaves – ‘bread and cheese’

I love hawthorn leaves at this time of year. They’re soft and easy to pick. Because they’re high up they’re away from anything a dog may have done.

They were once known as “ poor man’s bread and cheese”.

As tree roots go deep they draw up abundant minerals. Hawthorn is known for being good for the heart. Hawthorn leaves contain flavonoids tannins, essential oils, fruit acids and polysaccharides. vitamins B and C.

I eat them straight off the trees, add them to a salad or blend into a green soup. They’re really quite tasty.

I asked this question many years ago and the search for the answers led me to some unexpected places.

To cut a long story short, since humans left the way of life that is biologically suited to our species, we have physically changed in the way our bodies, brains and neural systems are constructed. We are no longer built to the optimal design that is ultimately possible from our DNA.

One of the changes includes the reduction of pineal gland activity. This means we have a deficiency of melatonin and also of some very special chemicals – monoamine oxidase inhibitors (also known as MAOI’s) which are responsible for keeping brain chemicals at optimal levels.

Correcting these deficiencies is a key step you can take to improve the quality of your life. It helps the neural system to orchestrate healing and helps you to get into the mental states you would like to be in.

The first step is to move towards a modem day equivalent of the natural human biological diet.Primatologist Katherine Milton found that our nearest evolutionary primate cousins in the wild consume about 50 times more micronutrients than a human in modern civilisation. To build our neural systems to their optimal state we need ample undamaged (uncooked and unprocessed) fatty acids, amino acids and fruit compounds. The ideal way to obtain these is from raw fruit, soaked seeds, cold-pressed oils and salads plus smaller quantities of various other foods to complete our nutritional needs.

Even with a nutrient-rich living diet, it’s a good idea to boost the missing pineal chemicals.

I recommend the use of an infra-red lamp for about 20 minutes in the evening to naturally stimulate melatonin production. The ideal wavelengths are 700 to 1000 nm. Depending on your budget you can choose a high-powered model or, alternatively, you can get a simple version online for less than £30.

The simplest way to boost MAOI’s is to drink passionflower tea. This can be part of an energy drink or elixir with coconut oil, and healthy sweetener, exotic ingredients such as cacao and maca plus other health-enhancing herbs such as Brahmi.

Montmorency cherry powder, Asphalia (a blend of wheat, oats, barley and other edible grasses) and passionflower tea good ways to boost your neural chemistry and are available on this site.
