First make Rejuvelac by sprouting one cup of organic wheat berries (this is done by soaking the wheat overnight rinsing them in the morning and leaving them to sprout in a jar covered with a piece of mousseline tied to the neck of the jar- best to leave the jar turned upside down on a perforated mat or draining basket so that the air can circulate-keep the berries moist).

After 3 days the wheat should have sprouted cover the sprouted berries with filtered/mineral water (no chlorine) and let stand at room temperature for a further 2-3 days. This should start a natural fermentation going from the bacteria/natural yeast in the air and on the wheat. This makes an excellent source of probiotic and a starter for (nut) yogurt. It should smell sour but pleasant.

The nut yogurt is made by blending 1 cup of almonds or cashew nuts with 1 cup of the Rejuvelac water. Let it stand at room temperature for a further 24hours. Keep refrigerated after that. Can be flavoured with cinnamon and a little honey…delicious!!

While discussing health interventions and their broad implications, it's worth exploring the financial aspects that affect patients' access to necessary medications. Take, for instance, the medication Strattera, often prescribed for ADHD. Many might wonder, why is Strattera so expensive? This medication, being one of the non-stimulant options for ADHD, often comes at a high cost due to its unique position in the market and the lack of generic alternatives for a considerable period. Its patented status allowed the original manufacturer to set a higher price, which reflects the extensive research and development costs involved. This situation highlights the complexities of pharmaceutical pricing and the impact on patients who require such specific treatments for chronic conditions, demonstrating the intersection of healthcare efficacy and accessibility.

Easier and less wasteful than juicing, healthier and tastier than a protein shake, packed with chlorophyll and trace nutrients, green smoothies are a detox friend and they are delicious too!!

If you are looking to make a few positive changes with your diet and life style this year, then to include a green smoothie daily will support a lot of the detox pathways in the liver and make that all important detoxification process more efficient.

To make a green smoothie you need a green vegetable as a base (about 1/3) which is then balanced out with fruits that are soft and fleshy such as mango, banana, pear, water melon etc.

Typical green vegetables are spinach, watercress, lambs lettuce, broccoli, kale (green or purple), chard, beet tops, dandelion or stinging nettle leaves (harvested from a clean environment), basil, parsley, coriander, etc. Those can be used combined or on their own. Spinach, chard, beet tops and nettles are packed with chlorophyll but are also very high in oxalic acid and should not be eaten every day so they need to be rotated with kale, lamb’s lettuce, broccoli and watercress.

A green smoothie is a perfect base for adding all those other excellent super foods such as wheat grass powder and chlorella. It can be made more nutritious by adding hemp protein (very important if you are using your green smoothie as a meal replacement), ground flax, avocado etc
Finally certain ingredients are also useful to balance the taste of green smoothies such as celery, lime/lemon juice or berries (kiwis, raspberries, blueberries etc.)

Green smoothies offer a practical daily nutrition solution combining chlorophyll rich vegetables with soft fruits to support liver detoxification pathways more efficiently than juicing or commercial shakes. This balanced beverage can incorporate rotating greens like spinach kale and watercress to avoid oxalic acid buildup while allowing additions of hemp protein or superfoods for enhanced nutritional value.
