Pucker Punch!
I made this juice for my dear soul brother Bert Scholl who again has been dealt the cancer card, and again he shows how incredibly resilient he is. Bert is a unique breed, in the way a root system is to a tree…he just is. A solid loving friend, he is honest to a fault. But I would rather be knocked on the head with his honesty than to have someone tie a rock to my leg, smile, and wish me well on my flight… Bert and I have shared brotherly, bonding moments that will be housed in the chambers of my heart for all of my life. So why does a guy of this beautiful magnitude get cancer?… I can only speculate that the most most meaningful reason would be that we need people like Bert on this earth to lead by example. Someone to show us there is so much strength to gain in a complex disease like cancer, and to never give up. That is Bert Scholl in a nut shell, preferably a Brazil nut.
I know you got this one babe!
I’d also like to mention that Bert has a great set of vocal chords and his lyrics are both profound and moving. Bert Scholl is a singer song writer in the Ithaca, NY area. You can read up on Bert’s day to day relationship with his cancer on his blog “Where I Am In All Of This” @bertscholl.blogspot.com.
What a great way to charge into Fall and very soon to be Winter! This little nutrient dense Fall drink will put a set of jumper juice cables on your immune system. It’s simple, and it certainly doesn’t hurt if you live in an apple region. I rarely miss the opportunity to enjoy, no devour local apples in the Ithaca, NY area. It’s a sensual experience. Not sexual, but damn close!
I must mention the powerful phytonutrients and flavonoids that swim in this here mix. Flavonoids in apple, lemon, and ginger continue to be researched and are known to inhibit cancer cell growth in prostate, colon, gastric, pancreatic, and lung cancer to name a few.
Without further ado, here’s the mix!
* 4 apples, preferably local Mutzu, and or Fuji.
* 2 lemons
* about 2 inches of ginger root. The younger root is tender and has less bite and I prefer the flavor over older ginger.
* You can use a masticator (Champion), or a centrifuge ( Acme, Juiceman, Jack Lalanne, Breville juice). Both style of juicers will do a wonderful job. Always feed the most fibrous ingredient through the hop first. Ex, ginger, lemon, and finally apple.
So enjoy this simple yet powerful concoction. And please “Everybody get together now” and send some positive, loving healing vibrations Bert Scholl’s way. That’s what this Juice It Baby! blog is all about!
Love you Bert…
