Dr. Henry Beiler created a vitamin and nutrient rich soup to heal his patients. Bieler's broth,(Beiler's broth) contains zucchini and string beans, which are rich sources of organic potassium and sodium. The liver and probably other organ's use those elements to clean and revitalize the body. Occasionally, when you’re sick, the best thing to do is not eat. See step one, contacting your inner wisdom for help with seeing what is right for you. Dr. Bieler’s famous health broth recipe for energy, weight loss, and cleansing
Put 1 cup of water into a stockpot. Put the string beans in first and steam for about 5 minutes. Then put celery and zucchini into the pot and steam for another 5 - 7 minutes or until tender, but still crisp. Do not overcook.
Then put the vegetable water and the cooked vegetables together into the blender. Blend until liquefied. Add a teaspoon of raw unsalted butter and a large handful of parsley. Blend again until parsley is liquefied.
Dosage: Drink 2 cups a day of the broth/soup
*Optional add 1 clove of garlic.
***What I did was:
equal parts of zucchini, celery leaves and stalks, and green beans. 2 clove of garlic, 1 cup of water, 5 basil leaves, 1/2 cup of watercress or equivalent for taste and 3 green onions.
steam this for 30 minutes after the water comes to a boil.
remove from the fire and with the lid still on let it set for another hour so the mixure can envelop the juices.
I placed all in a food processor along with a big handful of parsely and 1 T. of ghee or clarified butter. Mix well. I then transferred it to my blender and pulsed it 4 or 5 times to get a finer mixture but still chunky.
Placed all in a big jar to refrigerater and took enough out for a small bowl and added 1/3 cup of water, salt and pepper. Heat to serve.
It was really delicious.
