Lemons
Lemons
are one of man's best friends. They contain bioflavonoids,
vitamin C, and P, and are natural disinfectants. I find them
very effective in keeping the urinary tract clear of all infections.
It is also very useful to use lemon juice to control dandruff.
I have found that it is recommended that a person consume
all of the lemon, however, I am unwilling to eat the outer
skin.
First
morning, I roll the lemon on the tabletop to break down
the internal structure and then I place the lemon in a bowl
of hot water for a few minutes. Then I cut the lemon in half,
extract the juice and remove most of the white pulp. Next,
I put the white pulp along with the outer shell into a bowl
of filtered water and let it stand overnight.
Next, I add a big glass of water and drink it first thing
in the morning. It is advisable to drink more water as a rinse
since lemon juice is hard on the enamel of the teeth.
The next morning, I remove the outer shells from the
bowl, cut up the white pulp and drink the liquid. It is almost
as strong as the previous morning's juice. In addition, it
contains some lemon oil as well as some bioflavonoids subtracted
from the rind. Actually, if I liked tart flavored food, I
think that it would be very beneficial to my health. I tried
to make a "no-cook" marmalade, however, I could
not find a sugar substitute that I either liked, or could
afford. Alternatively, if fresh lemons are not available,
"Real Lemon" could be used. However, I prefer "natural"
rather than "processed" lemons.

Lemons also help me keep a good Acid/Alkaline ( pH ) balance
in my body.
· A word of caution: don't stray too far away from
a washroom for an hour or so.
· I was told to place the lemon in a microwave on high
for 1 min. What a mess!
· Lemon juice is hard on the
enamel of your teeth, rinsing is recommended.

Meidinger).

For those of you that enjoy tart tasting food items, and would
like the full value of this fruit, you might try the following.
* Wash the fruit in a weak solution of either apple cider
vinegar, or H2O2 03%
Hydrogen Peroxide (two of the greatest
disinfectants known), then rinse.
* Cut the entire lemon into small bits and place in your mixer,
add 8 or 16 oz of
filtered water, and blend. ( One or two days supply)
· As a time saver, a person can process a bunch of
lemons, put the juice in individual ice cube tray sections
and use as needed.
* I put a pinch (as much as I can take) of cayenne pepper,
and some Blackstrap molasses with the lemon drink. This helps
circulation, constipation, and puts in some vitamins and minerals,
as well.
