FORMING THE FAMILY

In fact, Professor Zebel observed that sick people always lack digestive juices. He never saw a cancer patient that had healthy intestinal flora. Thus, the different lacto-fermented foods are valuable aids to the cancer patient. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and they also contain enzymes that the cancer patient lacks.  

I am sure you will be happy to hear these recipes are super easy to make and usually require only 2 or 3 simple ingredients and require no special equipment apart from mason jars. 

Some lacto-fermented products may get bubbly; this is very natural and there is no cause for concern. Lactic-acid fermented vegetables are not meant to be eaten in large quantities but as condiments. They go beautifully with meats and fish. 

SAUERKRAUT

1 medium cabbage (cored and shredded)

1 tablespoon caraway seeds

1 tablespoon sea salt

4 tablespoons whey (if not available, use an additional 1/2 tablespoon of salt)

In a bowl, mix cabbage with caraway seeds, sea salt and whey. Pound with a wooden pounder for about 10 minutes to release juices. Place it in a mason jar and press down firmly until juices come to the top of the cabbage. The top of the cabbage should be at least 1 inch below the top of the jar. Cover tightly and keep at room temperature for about 3 days before transferring to cold storage. The sauerkraut may be eaten immediately, but it improves with age.

BEET KVASS

3 medium organic beets (peeled and chopped up coarsely)

1/4 cup whey 

1 tablespoon sea salt

filtered water

This drink is my very favorite of all time. If you ask me if I would like to drink the finest wine in the world or beet kvass, I would go with beet kvass. Beside its great taste, it is valuable for its medicinal qualities and as a digestive aid. Beets are just loaded with nutrition. One glass is an excellent blood tonic, promotes regularity, aids digestion, alkalizes the blood, cleanses the liver, and is a good treatment for kidney stones. 

Place beets, whey, and salt in a 2 quart glass container. Add water. Stir well and cover securely. Keep at room temperature about 3 days before transferring to refrigerator.
