A simple citrus-based drink recipe for supporting immune health, digestion, and detoxification
Ingredients
One lemon (most people can find a lemon tree nearby).
Dandelion and milk thistle, green tea, and/or Superfruits (available in most supermarkets or organics stores, either as loose-leaf or teabags).
A few slices of fresh ginger.
Some fresh herbs from your garden.
Turmeric powder - to taste.
A teaspoon of honey — preferably Manuka honey). It gives the drink a delicious sweet-sour taste!
Add a level teaspoon per day of Progressive Professional C Ascorbate for extra potency.
Add a dash of Pure Fulvic Practitioner Grade to each glass, plus stir in a level teaspoon of NZ Blackcurrant powder before drinking and you are sweet-as!
Dilute it accordingly, before you drink it. I recommend you make this an early morning ritual to start each day, 15-30 minutes or longer before eating anything substantial. If you have any gut issues, this may work wonders for you over the long term.
Directions
Preferably freeze a lemon, then let it defrost. The freezing, breaks the cells, releasing the delicious ingredients. Cut it up, and put it in a jug or big teapot.
Add one or two of each of the detox herbs and ginger to the jug. These support the detoxification process.
Fill the pot with boiling water.
Leave it to soak overnight so that the herbs and defrosted lemon skins can infuse the water with their health-promoting oils, flavonoids and other rich goodness.
Add ingredients that may be heat sensitive once cooled overnight. Tip: Instead of making individual glasses of the final mixture, why not mix the blackcurrant, C-Aspa, and trumeric in a little water, stir it well to remove any clumps, then add it to the pot/jug. Add enough fulvic with the others to approximate the number of glasses or days calculated per jug. This makes for quick convenience.
Drink a few cups of this liquid throughout the day. I add it, diluted, to my drink bottle when exercising. It is refreshing to drink when hot and thirsty.
Eat a slice or two of the mushy lemon peel now and then, if you like (Soaking the slices for a day or two removes some of the bitterness).
It is best to freeze the lemon (you can store a season's worth of lemons this way), defrost it, then slice it up. The freezing breaks the cells of the hard peel, better releasing the wonderful nutrients contained within.
How Often?
Make up a pot about once a week, then consume it all, including even eating some of the peel, over the following 2–4 days. Then make up a fresh batch beginning the next week. Got the idea? Of course you can have it more often: a glass a day, most days is the perfect way to kick things off!
Tooth Enamel
This drink is a little acidic, so please do not sip it as it could erode tooth enamel. Guzzle down.
Enamel can and does remineralise if given the right environment. Brush your teeth once or twice a day. Use an alkalising toothpaste, such as one with baking soda in it. Make sure your diet includes calcium and other minerals so that there is plenty of calcium and other minerals in your saliva, even when sleeping. Floss daily between your teeth.
Read about some of the astonishing health benefits of citrus peel here. Why are you not being told about this cheap universal health measure? Why isn't this delicious drink served to every hospital patient? Why is it not served to the elderly in the rest homes? In the end, we know why. Big Pharma and Big Medicine don't make money by telling people to grow lemon trees or getting them from their neighbours.
Conclusion:
And there you have it — a brew so powerful, Big Pharma does not want you to know about it. By using this simple, but powerful citrus detox drink, you will be detoxifying well, supporting digestive health and immune robustness, and showing off the natural, abundant beauty and health that your lemon tree can offer.
Remember, in the world of health, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most revolutionary — and the most overlooked. So, drink up, and give a toast to nature's pharmacy. Your body (and your wallet) will thank you, even if the pharmaceutical giants will not.



Hi Gary. I can't decide how much this makes. You say drink a 'few cups' a day but the picture shows only one jug. Should it be made as a jug then diluted to drink? Its unclear how much this recipe should make. I'm sorry to be so pedantic as I'm thinking it probably doesn't matter.
I just happened to have all the ingredients so I've made it up, I'll give a report in a few weeks.
