Well, I'm a long-term martini drinker and by far the best martini available

is made with a large twist of lemon peel, not an olive. (You get healthy

either way!) Over the years I've learned while making them at home that at

times they would turn out very bitter. Eventually discovered that the

" Sunkist " stamp on them in green ink when used as a part of the " twist " was

the culprit. Have no idea how such a small amount of ink can make it taste

so bitter, but it does. To test it out, you can lick that part of the lemon

with the ink. and it's ugly. So, the instructions for that drink at the web

site says to remove the ink, and righfully so. Am sure that there is much

more to the ink than just the bitter flavor.

Hi,

Has anyone tried this drink?

It is to cleanse the liver and move heavy metals out of the gut and blood.

I started last SUnday and started either Thursday or Friday, my stools ahve

been greenish like the sludge I got out in the flush.

I think this must be bile- does this sound right?

YOu take 1 whole lemon, rind and all, quarter it and put it in blender with

1 cup of juice or water (I use water) and 1 tbsp olive oil. Blend and

drink. I split it into 3 b/c it is supposed to help you gain weight if you

do it this way.

It is used a lot by people with aids but I think it would be useful for

everyone.

No, I have not had anything green this week.

Hi,

I should send you the article.

I do eat a lot of veg, maybe not enough, but a lot, but just not enough to

cause this greenness. My friend who also started this drink, told me this

mroning the same thing is happening to her.

It makes you gain weight , b/c it helps you digest and assimiliate your

nutrients. It is good for wasting.

The pectin is also supposed to remove heavy metals from the gut and blood.

It seems like it may be a very powerful drink.

oh, and it lowers the pH of the colon so that bacteria/fungi etc. that are

alkaline loving can't survive in it.

Hi there,

I think you may be right , in that you gain weight if you need to. It may

even help you lose weight if you need to, by allowign the body to detox.

But I'm guessing on that one.

I'm not sure if there is anyhting in the lemon rind that would be bad. I

hope not!!

The drink is quite thick due to the pulp, but I must say I enjoy this drink

and get a nice feeling, like I'm doing something good for my body.

I have CFS like symptoms so I'll be taking the drink forever if it benefits

me.

I sent an article to the list, let me know what you think.

Also, have you heard of Positive Health News? This drink is discussed a lot

in the newsletters.

you? (maybe you do - I have no idea since I'm not a martini-drinker.) "

No, you don't eat the twist, but it gives a significant aromatic flavor to

the drink. Actually, what gives the flavor to the martini with a " twist " is

the lemon oil or whatever it is that goes along with the oil. You can

actually see the oil in the drink. A way to really give your hands a great

aroma is to twist a lemon peel, and then rub your hands with the twisted

peel. The twist is what extracts it. I love the smell of that aroma. By

the way, Burns had 2 double martinis a day up through his late 90's

(bypass surgery and all). I don't recommend it, and my own ingestion of them

becomes less and less frequent, but there have been studies that do show that

not only is wine beneficial to the cardiovascular system, but all alcohol in

moderation seems to be. I'm in no way advocatiing alcohol for myself or

anyone else, but along with the olive oil and butter (not oleo) of the

mediteraian people, they do drink. French cooking in particular is simply

drenched in butter, and they as a people have significantly less heart

disease than we do in the U. S.

Well, I drink wine, which is good for the heart and GB. A small amount of

alcohol actually cuts the formation of gallstones. About wine, the red wine

is good because it's the red grape skins that contain something beneficial

for the heart. I forgot what it's called. I'm sure that I can find it,

though.

If they are organic lemons, no problem, but if not, they may have

pesticides, oils, etc. Dawn
