We got this recipe from our friend Carol, where this recipe is being passed down to each generation. It's helped their family fight aggressive cancers, diabetes and more. An angel - really, a beautiful person working at a car rental place - gave this to them while they were passing through San Antonio to visit a very ill family member who recovered. Life is sweet. This recipe is just a testimony of what we can do when we help each other and use our gifts and knowledge in the right way.

5-Veggie Juice:
It uses celery, chinese cucumber, red/green bell peppers, ampalaya (bitter melon) and apples.

The health properties of each of these veggies is amazing! It also took us on an adventure to the Asian Grocery store as we needed to pick up the Chinese Cucumber and Amapalya (Bitter Melon). We were unfamiliar with bitter melons - so a great opportunity to learn about this veggie. Check out this site - My Bittermelon. Love the adventure.

We're incorporating this as part of our detox.
