I had posted this elsewhere and thought it may be of help to poeple her

I started typing and wound up doing a very comprehensive piece on helping high blood pressure with diet, herbs etc

The first post has a lot of info on green smoothies, green juices and the most beneficial juices.

Well for heart concerns the two best herbs are hawthorne and cayenne. You always want to mainly take herbs in tincture form as the
 

Capsules are rarely absorbed, and sometimes get burned in the powdering process. Tinctures extract more of the healing phytochemicals that cure and prevent disease and due to the alcohol menstrum. They go right to the bloodstream passing digestion which is a boon for those without proper PH and with digestive problems.

Always buy organic or wildcrafted herbs whenever possibly as these contain 7-10 times the healing pytochemicals and phytonutrients over conventional grown herbs. Wildcrafted herbs are ones that come directly from the wilds or fields, woods, meadow etc. If harvesting your own herbs to make herbal products, do not pick near highways or from sprayed lawns/areas.

First greens, green juices and green smoothies have tremendous healing power for all illnesses and for health and energy etc. Boutenko did a study with a town where she had the residents make no changes in their regular diet only add one quart of green smoothie a day. They made all the juices and the husband transported them I think she said 200 miles a day or something. The results of a questionnaire at the end of the 30 day test period showed all people reporting improvements and desire to continue this on their own. They reported things like weight loss, more energy, better sleep and digestions and generally health improvements. Even a glass a day if better than none.

Boutenko studied the diet of chimpanzees one of our closest relatives sharing 99.7% of our exact DNA sequence, Some researchers are even saying they should be classified as humans as they show the ability to create new signs when taught new language and in the wild create their own sign language to communicate and use primitive tools. They are said to have the intelligence of a 7 year old child.

She wanted to see what an animal so close to use genetically eats since they eat from instinct and found their diet far differs from the average vegetarian, vegan or raw foodist. 40-50% of their diet is greens. 40-50% of it is fruits which include above ground veggies that are classified technically as fruits like peppers, tomatoes, cucumber etc. The remaining 5-7% consists of stems, pith, nuts/seeds and insects. They only eat the roots of plants in emergency situations.

Greens for making green smoothies are a good things to pick to save money and wild greens have a lot more nutrients than ones purchased from stores.Generally the greens of a plant contain several times the nutrients as the root of the same plant.for instance, beet greens would be a lot more nutrients than beet top. The roots of the plant tend to be sweeter and often higher in the glycemic index and are made sweet by the plant for the purpose of attracting the microorganisms in the soil that they require.

Pound for pound, green are the most nutritious food on the planet according to green smoothie researcher and author Victoria Boutenko who did an extensive study. They contain the RNA for every nutrient but one (I think b12) if one eats enough. Since it is hard to eat raw some of these tough, not that tasty greens, the green smoothie and also green juices are the way to go.

Everyone should include at least a quart or more of green smoothies a day.  (green juices are also good and do not use green smoothies when juice fasting as they do contain pulp which will mess up ones juice fast and cause hunger while with just juices (herb teas and homemade potassium broths are also ok for juice fasting).

If making green juices or any kind of fruit or veggie home (in your juicer), you want to consume it on an empty stomach with no pulp or food for at least 30 minutes (you can use the pulp later though for recipes etc). This way the vital elements like enzymes, atoms, molecules, phytonutrients, vitamins and mineral etc go to healing and repair and not to mainly digestion. Also chew the juice to stimulate the digestive juices.

Ms. Boutenko even goes so far to state after 15 years on a 100% raw, vegan, whole food organic diet that she began to cure her son of type 1 diabetes and her husband who was told he would be dead in 2 months without drastic surgery (they all experienced complete healings and maintain these healings). She now believes green smoothies are even more important than going all raw.

At one point she consumed nothing but green smoothies up to 2 gallons a day as she says they were so satisfying. Within about a week she screamed in the tub as several lifetime warts and moles fell off her body. When her husband a massage therapist with several unsightly warts on his hands did the same, his also dropped off and his beard turned from gray to black. Anne Wigmore founder of the Hippocrates center who popularized wheat grass juice, rejuvelac, and green energy soup etc who was a also a raw foodist consuming a lot of greens etc had her hair turn from gray to black and maintained it into old age. Her students did not believe her and had it sent somewhere to see if it was dyed and it was not. She had so much energy, she would run several hours a day when she was in her 80s.

Victoria also noted that like most people when her family ate beets it turned their feces and urine red and did this even on 100% raw foods but after consuming the green smoothies all of her family's stomach ph improved to the point that this no longer happens nor does it go green when they eat heavy greens.

In nature, the plant wants animals to consume the fruits as the seeds are dropped and the plant can reproduce. It does not want you to eat the roots as then it will die. This jives with the studies of Arnold Ehret who along with his disciples achieved phenomenal health eating primarily fruits and above the ground veggies.

I remember this from reading 30 years ago as it so struck me. A female discipline of his who already felt she had excellent health as she had been a vegetarian or maybe vegan for many years, discovered a lot of changes..her skin grow softer than a baby's, her eyes got better and clearer, she was a waitress and said she let work after her work shift with as much abundant energy as she arrived with despite being on her feet all day. She could climb up steep hills that left everyone puffing and resting without even noticing the least effort and other changes. Everyone began telling her that her entire disposition had changed of the better..she was always happy and cheery, rarely got stressed out, never got angry and just mega improved.

Here are some of Ehret's online books we have posted.
