You can try grapefruitseed extract. This is from the NutriBiotic GSE website. Just make sure you rinse well afterwards, as grapefruitseed extract is really bitter.

Vegetable/Fruit or Meat/Poultry Wash.

Sink washing:

Add 30 or more drops of NutriBiotic to a sink full of cold water. Briefly soak any vegetables, fruit, meat, or poultry.

Spray washing:

Add 20 or more drops of NutriBiotic to a 32 ounce pump sprayer filled with water. Spray on any vegetables, fruit, meat, or poultry

Hi ,

I do this with orange, lime, lemon and grapefruit peels. Why waste what

is good for you. I am also doing a bit of personal research into the

concept of eating lemons is bad for your teeth. But that is a different

issue. Yes, the dried peels have lots of pectin in them which has been

shown to help remove toxins along with radiation from the body. Pectin

pulls out lots of stuff. Now both IC#2 and IF#2 use apple fruit pectin.

They use this as it is pure pectin. Now you could use the citrus peel

powder but then you would have to use a lot to equal the same amount of

apple fruit pectin. However, the citrus peel is full of the

bioflavonoids that the body needs for it to efficiently utilize vitamin

C. There is absolutely no reason not to eat all of the fruit, seeds

included.

Wash everything really well and use all of it. Most of the nutrients in

the fruits and veggies will be found in or just under the peeling or

rind. Yes, the dried peels are actually good for cleansing and I would

highly recomment anyone to use their citurs peelings. Just make sure you

wash them thoroughly before using though.

Hi ,

Bleach is definitely out. Shoot they don't even sell it here in

Slovenia. At least not anywhere I have found. Maybe in the big chemical

house here they might have it but I doubt it. Detergent is a little

better but still quite nasty. Now you could use hand soap (castille with

no additives), this works really well. Just as well as the synthetic

detergent. However, not as toxic as the synthetic detergent. You can

also soak some wood ashes in some distilled water for 24 hours. This

will give you a fairly caustic hydroxide that you can add several ounces

to your wash water and wash your fruits and vegetables in. Acts just

like soap and will kill anything and clean off any oily pesticides. You

can also use a hydrogen peroxide bath to kill off any parasitical

critters and bacteria, but do use the 35% food grade stuff.

Personally I just use soap and water. But then I make my own soap so I

know exactly what is in it. Rubber gloves are always a necessity around

the sink. A good vegetable brush is nice too. You might also consider

vinegar for cleaning the veggies too. Might not remove the pesticides

but bugs don't much care for it.

I sure hope this helps you. I know most people aren't going to be making

their own lye water, just thought I would throw that in there though

just in case.

The vast majority of my fruits and vegetables are organic, but there are times when I can’t take the time to drive across the city to that one store available and I have to shop at the local grocery. All of the produce is waxed, of course, and I have yet to figure out a way to get that wax off.

Any help would be appreciated –

Don -

Years ago my Grandmother used to make her own lye soap, in a large black

kettle suspended over a wood fire in the backyard. I had to stand and

stir the goo with a boat paddle - LOL. What memories your email has

brought back. Once the soap was finished cooking, she would poor it

into large shallow pans, let it cool and cut it into bars. Older people

from all over town would stop by and buy her lye soap. When I was a

teenager with acne, she used to tell me to wash my face with it - I

never was that brave!

Vinegar occurred to me and I will have to try that. Never thought about

Hydrogen Peroxide and I don't think I have ever seen the food grade but

will certainly look. Now, Castile soap I think I can manage. When I

was little my mother used a castile soap that was in a red, white and

blue wrapping. I haven't seen it for years but surely it is still made.

I'll do some looking around. I do have vegetable brushes and do use

them, but the wax on some of the fruit and vegetables (especially the

cucumbers and the apples) just won't come off no matter how hard I

scrub. I don't know what that stuff is but it is permanent, it seems.

I'm concerned that if the wax is sticking that well, any contaminants

that were on the food's skin are still there as well.

As always, Thanks, Don!
