Remineralizing drink with kelp

[Guest guest]

This may sound awful to drink but might be worth a try...

http://www.askmoreless.com/alkalising_drinks

Here's a great alkalizing drink that can help remineralise you quickly

and cheaply!

This is an amazing power packed, mineral and nutrient dense drink that

will not only help to alkalize you, but will give you loads of

electrically charged energy! I've been drinking this 2-3 times a day

and I am a firm believer!

Ingredients:

1. 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses (it must be Unsulphured and

ideally organic)

2. Juice of half a lemon (OR 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar if you

can't take citrus or get hold of lemons)

3. 1 + tablespoon pickling lime water (= 1 tablespoon of pickling lime

powder, aka calcium hydroxide, diluted in 1 gallon of distilled water)

*see safety notes below*

4. Small pinch of Epsom salts

5. Norwegian kelp powder 1 + teaspoons

6. 1 glass of distilled, ionized or alkaline mineral water (like Evian)

*** you can take a lot MORE pickling lime water and Kelp than is

suggested above. Start slow and if things don't improve, slowly build

up. Some of us use up to 20 tablespoons of pickling lime water and up

to 2 tablespoons of kelp powder each time ***

(Check the Resources page for suppliers)

The chemical reaction between the acid in the lemon juice and the

alkaline minerals in the mollases releases energy into the body and

makes the minerals more bioavailable.

Method:

*Dissolve the blackstrap molasses and epsom salts in warm water (leave

to cool if desired)

*Add 1 (or more) tablespoons of pickling lime water

*Add the lemon or ACV (I sometimes add both) Add these only when the

drink has cooled down, you don't want to destroy the enzymes or minerals

*Some people like to mix their kelp in with their drink, some just put

the kelp straight into their mouths

Special note on the kelp!: Most people find the taste absolutely vile

because, in my opinion .... it is!!! - it may help to moisten it and

your mouth first so you don't gag! Some people use a straw to bypass

the taste. But this really is an essential part of the drink and is

packed with loads of minerals and complex carbohydrates, so do what

you need to do to get it down! And yes, kelp is available in capules,

but the powder is much cheaper.

(This is an edit .. after several months of taking the kelp powder, it

no longer tastes so vile! I am becoming immune to the taste - hooray!)

.... And drink!

If you are chronically ill: I suggest you start with with just a

teaspoon of kelp and a tablespoon of the pickling lime water along

with all the other ingredients. Over time, start building up on both

those ingredients until you can manage 2-3 teaspoons of kelp and 2-4

tablespoons of the picking lime water in each drink. You don't have to

drink it all at once, you can also sip it over a few hours.

When someone has been chronically ill for a while, a drink like this

might create a powerful reaction and start to release acids from

organs and tissues too quickly, that is why I am suggesting you start

slow. (Better to aim for minimal discomfort while you begin to rebuild

your health)

Can you make a batch in advance?

You can mix the Blackstrap Molasses, pickling Lime water and kelp

together without the Lemon juice or the ACV and keep this cool - then

add the ACV or Lemon juice just before drinking. The batch should be

ok for a day, but not longer than two days. Fresh is best!

Heath Notes:

*Please use organic where you can!

*Blackstrap molasses must be unsulphured. Sulphur is acid forming.

*If using apple cider vinegar, buy organic and unpasteurised (*with

mother*) so full of active enzymes. Otherwise, just find a good source

of unpasteurised ACV.

*Pickling lime is normally found in the pickling/canning section of

shops. Your alternative is to buy calcium hydroxide powder and put 1

tablespoon of the powder in 1 gallon of distilled water and use that

as your pickling lime solution.

*Buy food grade epsom salts.

*Kelp is apparently purest from Norway, and it is better if it is

finely powdered.

*If you are very acidic, you can also add a pinch of epsom salts or a

tablespoon of ACV with a tablespoon of pickling lime water to your

normal glasses of water (the pickling lime provides calcium by the way).

I've been happily drinking the above 2-3 times a day. And it has a

buzz to it!

To keep your mineral reserves up, to every glass of water throughout

the day, you may also add a tablespoon of pickling lime water (plus a

dash of lemon or ACV)

The Moreless alkalizing drink is basically a very cheap and effective

method of creating alkalinity and is NOT meant as a substitue for a

wholesome diet with complex carbs as is found in foods like green

veges. The drink is basically a method to get us more alkaline

quicker, but it is NOT the way to become alkaline totally, that takes

some effort!

What Moreless is presenting people here are various options. Not

everyone is prepared or able to go all the way with eating right. So

he is giving people easy and cheap ways to kick start their healing

whilst finding their way at improving their diet, which will in turn

be the most important part of their healing. The kelp and molasses are

packed full of minerals that may be difficult for people to find in

the foods that are available to them right now.

The Epsom salts, pickling lime water, lemon juice or ACV create the

electrical energy so that our bodies can make the best use of the

minerals.

** SAFETY NOTES ON CALCIUM HYDROXIDE ** (For those who can't get hold

of the pickling lime water.)

CALCIUM HYDROXIDE (also known as - pickling lime water/Ca(OH)2/slaked

lime/biocalc/lime water etc.)

In concentrated powdered form, this stuff is a skin, eye and

respiratory irritant. It is CORROSIVE and causes burns. Should you be

using this concentrated form to dilute with water before use, please

protect yourself by wearing safety glasses, gloves and minimize your

exposure to the dust itself.

There are no safety issues if you buy the pre made pickling lime water.

Remember, the drink asks for 1 (to 4) tablespoon of the diluted lime

water - you take 1 tablespoon of the powder and add it to a gallon of

water. You do NOT add the powder directly to your drink!

This powder is also incompatable with strong acids! So, the more

acidic you are the smaller your dose should be! Start small and slow,

and add more after checking your response. We are all unique, so

someone else's ideal doseage may not be the same as yours.

My suggestion is to make up your solution outdoors. This powder is

very fine and fluffy, it'd be easy to accidently spill some on your

kitchen or bathroom floor for unsuspecting kids and pets to walk on.

More useful information about Calcium Hydroxide here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide

The following is as good a description of calcium hydroxide as I can

find (albeit it relating to use in aquariums, but surely applicable

when considering human consumption):

" A preferred method of calcium supplementation comes in the form of

calcium hydroxide, known as " kalkwasser " to reef aquarists. Calcium

hydroxide has a chemical formula of Ca(OH)2, in other words, it

supplies one Ca+2 ion for every two OH- ions. Calcium hydroxide can be

mixed at approximately 2 teaspoons [5.7g Ca(OH)2] per gallon (or

1.5g/L) of filtered freshwater to attain approximately 800mg/L calcium

solution to be dripped slowly into the reef aquarium. A beneficial

side effect of using calcium hydroxide is that the OH- (hydroxide)

ions maintain the pH of the aquarium by neutralizing acids present in

the aquarium, thereby helping to maintain (but not build) the

alkalinity in the aquarium. One could use pickling lime, which is also

calcium hydroxide. Unfortunately, pickling lime tends to have visible

amounts of impurities in it. "

pickling lime water/calcium hydroxide locally)
