The green drink is the foundation of my program and I consider it an essential ingredient to its success! 

My first meal of the day is what I call my “Green Drink”.  I’ll tell you where I buy all of the ingredients on subsequent pages and will have some links there as well for most of them.

Green Drink

1 cup organic apple juice

1 cup filtered water

1 ounce good quality liquid vitamin/mineral supplement

1 tbls. Red Beet crystals

2 tsp. organic Spirulina

1 tsp. chlorella

1 tbls. Super Green Powder

1 tsp. Berry Supreme 

Put all of the above ingredients into a large enough shaker cup or blender and shake or blend vigorously!  I use a stainless steel cocktail shaker.  They work GREAT, are non staining, and are inexpensive to purchase.

This drink looks rather awful but the taste is not bad at all!  I just drink mine down without wasting too much time over it.  Later I will prepare a delicious meal that I will savor and take my time with.  But for now, I just want to get my basic nutrition into my system. 

 

I CANNOT STRESS THIS POINT ENOUGH SO I WILL SAY IT AGAIN!

The green drink is the foundation of my program and I consider it an essential ingredient to its success! 

A person could literally live on just this “green drink” taken a few times per day without consuming any other food at all. 
One can easily use this drink as an aid to losing weight  by using it as a meal replacement once or twice a day.

I have to admit that I take a lot of supplements.  One reason that I do is because my case is extremely severe and it just takes a variety of tactics to most effectively deal with my personal situation.  For example, I take 5 to 6 grams per day of high quality fish oil.  This is vital to my heath and heart.  You may not need that much.  One this page though is a list of the supplements that I take on a daily basis and for your convenience I have provided a few links for the actual products that I take.

I start each day with a cup of coffee.  I have been doing it for years.  I just don’t really care to change that part of my life.  Some would say that coffee is “bad” for humans… on the other hand, some will say it is great, providing antioxidants to our diets...right or wrong, I like my cup of coffee in the morning.  I switch to hot tea later, green, white, oolong, herbal, I like them all and drink them all but in the morning, I like my coffee the best.

The following is a list of the dietary supplements that I take everyday.


5 to 6 grams of very high quality fish oil

There is no doubt that one of the most important supplements that I take is this one.  It has so many health benefits that I cannot even begin to list this all here.  Next to my green drink this is the other single most important supplement that I take as it helps reduce and control inflammation; particularly in my arteries and really reduces my lipid levels more than anything else. 

Fish oil does such a great job at reducing cholesterol that my Cardiologist actually asked me what brand I use so that he can recommend it to some of his patients...it seems that I am not the only one that suffers side effects from statin drugs!!! 

Below are two hyperlinks for the two brands that I take and also one for Krill Oil which shows GREAT promise for even more effective cholesterol lowering benefits.

ArcticPure, ULTRA POTENCY OMEGA-3 FISH OIL

www.PharmaOmega.com

NKO, Neptune Krill Oil

Palm Vitee 
2 capsules daily.  A highly concentrated tocotrienol fraction from Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD),  a by product of palm oil.  PFAF contains an ultra source of tocotrienols.  This is an amazing product that is dramatically effective in improving and maintaining my artery health and is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamin E.  This expensive but vital product not only lowers cholesterol levels naturally but also keeps the blood thin and flowing freely. 

There is evidence “out there” that has shown this product as having the ability to actually dissolve dangerous arterial plaque as well.  Despite its high cost I feel it is an important addition to my program.

Certified Organic Spirulina...

2 tsp. added daily to my "Green Drink"

1 lb. Certified Organic Spirulina:
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) rests atop the green superfood pantheon. This blue-green vegetable plankton has been a source of nutrition for humans since the Aztecs harvested it from Lake Texcoco in Mexico centuries ago. Spirulina very well may have been the first photsynthetic life form created by nature over 3.6 billion years ago. Algae such as Spirulina is believed to have produced the oxygen in our atmosphere that allowed the developement of higher life forms, and it still contains the rich nutrient content that supports the diversity of life we have on Earth today. Spirulina contains the highest protein and beta-carotene levels of all green superfoods, and is also a rich source of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid), a popular fatty acid with numerous health benefits. In addition it is the highest known vegetable source of B-12 and provides optimum levels of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, cell salts, amino acids and enzymes. NOWᆴ Spirulina is 100% pure, Certified Organic, and cultivated/harvested in Hawaii, where ideal weather conditions allow for year-round growth and excellent nutritional content.
