Dr. Downes' Anti-Inflammatory
& Cleansing Broth

My broth is vegetarian and is powerfully alkaline and serves cleanse the blood. Alkaline foods contain negative ions that bind free radicals, those biological troublemakers that are a result of toxins and stress. Many of our body pains and ailments are due to inflammation so this broth is also anti-inflammatory and very soothing in nature.

Ingredients…

4 carrots cut in 2" pieces

4 stalks of celery

4 red radishes

1 beet, quartered

Handful of fresh green beans

Handful of fresh Italian parsley

1 leek, quartered (tops cut off, wash well inside)

4 okra split in half

2 inches burdock root

3 red skinned potatoes, quartered

½ head of green cabbage

3 1-inch pieces of peeled ginger root

2-3 shavings of turmeric root

2 green onions

2 tbs of extra virgin coconut oil

3 cloves of garlic

2 cucumbers, cut in 1 inch pieces

2-3 tsp of Sea Salt

A few dashes of cayenne pepper

2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar

2 whole cloves

1 gallon of water and…

a cup of red wine (optional)

Put all in a very large slow cooker, turn it on low, go play tennis or go to the theatre. In 8-24 hours your broth is ready.

Strain and discard veggies and keep the Anti-Inflammatory Alkaline Cleansing Broth. Add more salt or pepper to taste. The ingredients are seasonally variable, just make it with the ingredients that you have. Somehow it always turns out great!

Sip on it all day and do a broth cleanse. Or, replace a few dinners in a row with the broth for extra cleansing. Add free range chicken if you like. Most of all, sip it with a warm and thankful heart...

In fact the latest medical literature1 reports that many cases of chronic headache are caused by a biomechanical problem in the neck—which is often misdiagnosed or unrecognized by physicians.

Power Immunity
Just say no to H1N1
Our bodies do not have an immune system, as much as it is an immune system in its functional totality.  Systems such as the skeletal system, respiratory system, reproductive system, endocrine system, central nervous system, etc. are complete functioning systems with a clear set of organs and responses.  The human body does not have a single immune system, as it is better described as having an immune alliance among various systems  and organs which when coordinated by the brain, give an immune response to the presence of disease associated factors, such as bacteria or vital invasion.  The immune alliance is comprised of the thymus gland for lymphocytes, the spleen for antibodies, bone marrow for blood cell formation, digestive system and its acid to destroy parasites, intestinal flora, which destroy pathogenic microbes, and the liver for detoxification and enzyme production.

Whole Food for whole body health
As a chiropractor I came to my work in whole food nutrition not by design but by necessity. My earlier thought was that there were plenty of nutritionists, plenty of nutritional advice, and lots of vegetables to be had if one wished to follow that path.

We can help arthritis
Twenty-five years in the back-care field has brought more people through my door who thought they had no hope concerning their daily quota of aches and pains. "Oh its my "arthritis", or my "rhematism", nothing anyone can do about it, my mother had it, four of my brothers have it, it just runs in our family...
