Is there really much of a difference between the two? Does lemon juice have an edge over grapefruit when it comes to results?- Re: Lemon Juice vs Grapefruit Juice ... finalquest

MoreThis is a reply to # 186,141I like the grapefruit juice because the olive oil mixes better in it.
I use a little lemon juice with the Epsom Salts to hide the taste. - Re: Lemon Juice vs Grapefruit Juice ... gull-able

MoreThis is a reply to # 186,141I've used both and I got better results with LJ, but I will admit the GJ goes down easier. I only used GJ once out of 10 flushes, but I got better results in the 9 other flushes with LJ

This is a reply to # 186,141Lemon is more than twice as acidic as grapefruit, grapefruit tastes better but you need alot more of it to get the same acidic level as lemon. Other than that, not really.

This is a reply to # 186,141I loved-loved-loved it. It tasted like salad dressing to me. Of course I'm someone who has always loved to just salt big wedges of lemon and eat them like they're going out of style!
But aside from liking the lemon taste, I had zero probs w/ the texture of the OO/LJ that many here have described. I just add them both to that Good Seasons cruet, shake it up, and drink it down.

This is a reply to # 186,199I agree. I used the olive oil\grapefruit mixture (and still mix it and use it as a salad dressing) for the first flush and it went down really smooth. I guess from trying it on my salads BEFORE the first flush made it easier for me. Plus, growing up with a Mediterranean style of cooking, olive oil(with vinegar, or garlic, or onions, peppers) was just part of an everyday occurrence with dinner. When I was a little one, my aunt would peel an orange, slice it on its side, and then pour a little bit of olive oil and Sugar on each slice. The orange juice and the olive oil was a great combo. YEE-UMMM!... that was a great treat for the summer.
Now Epsom Salt is a different story! LOL... I have no idea what to do with it but chug it, IMMEDIATELY suck down some ginger tea with extra ginger peel and then that's it. You just have to deal with it.
You could probably put some Stevia in the Olive Oil\Grapefruit or Lemon mixture if the tastes bothers anybody.

This is a reply to # 186,293I love the oo/gj. I put it in the blender so it emulsifies. It is a huge treat after the epsoms...blegh!
I'm gonna try the orange/oo you suggested(minus the sugar). Maybe stevia?

Okay, again... I agree. Definitely a "treat" after the first two Epsom Salt drinks. I will have to blend as I just shook it the first time. I like it now on my salads as I feel I'm using it as a "maintenance" tool in between flushes. I also take 16oz glass of purified water then mix it with two packs of Stevia, and then add two capfuls of Apple Cider Vinegar. It almost has an "effervescent effect" since I haven't drank a pop (soda drink, soda pop) in a million years.
Oh yeah... the Olive Oil\Oranges are great! Another centuries old Mediterranean "peasant food" that is so good and good for you! Do this - After you've prepared the oranges with the olive oil and natural sweetener, take the fork and gently squeeze some the juice out so you have a bit to drink ... or dunk on a slice of "healthy" bread. Oh yeah... one more thing. Stevia is great instead of White Sugar . No longer part of my diet....or very, very, very, very little.
I bought a book called "Mediterranean Flavors - Recipes from the Countries of the Sun" by Maria Jose Sevilla several years ago at Half Price Books and its great! It has some awesome recipes in it using olive oils, vinegars, etc. Great foods for the LIVER!!... I also like the illustrations. They are cool!

This is a reply to # 186,303Bravo!... it is really a great book. It has a lot of recipes using olive oil, garlic, and veggies(eggplant, artichokes, etc). All good, healthy things for your liver! It's a little bit on the exotic side but well worth making. I especially like the "Salad of Carrots, Pistachios, Cilantro and Orange Juice. You could substitute sliced almonds for the pistachios but I like them both.
Okay... for this evening's dinner, I marinated raw chicken breast with JUST ONLY olive oil\grapefruit mix for about an hour and then grilled them for 7 minutes on "FORmer Ex-boxer Name" grill. When I placed the chicken on the grill, I sprinkled it with Sea Salt once and then let the chickies grill away.
Oh yeah... also made, I think, 4 or 5 bean salad...I can't remember how many types of beans there are in it. I just start opening cans and dumping in a bowl. I just did this improv so no measuring. I like to experiment and most turn out good!
Opened one can each of ORGANIC kidney, garbanzo, cannellini, red beans and thoroughly rinsed them and dump in big bowl. Added some chopped onion, chopped garlic, chopped ROASTED red pepper(s) and seasoned with Sea Salt , black pepper, Italian Seasonings, sprinkle of garlic powder and onion powder. And also added some wild rice to make it a bit crunchy (had some left over so I thought, what the hell!). Then added Organic Olive-Oil and Apple Cider Vinegar and tossed. All I can say is ....YEEEEEEEE-UMMMMMMM!!!... was a great side dish with the chicken breast. You can do any combo of beans. You could 2 bean, 3 bean, or 10 bean.
All good foods for the liver!

What time is dinner? You're making me hungry!
For our dinner, I am making Chana Masaledar (spicy garbanzos), basmati rice & green chutney. I have tomato chutney I made a few weeks ago. Indian cuisine. another great cuisine with great liver benefits, also anti-parasitic(cloves). & also not difficult once you have acquired the spices!
I will now recommend a book to you: "an Invitation to Indian Cooking" by Madhur Jaffrey. Excellent & geared towards Americans.
Man, I love food! :)

This is a reply to # 186,323LOL!... too funny. Well that was the intention to make you hungry and make something good and healthy. Your dinner sounds REALLLLLLLY GOOD too!
I just wrote down the title of the book and will order that one in the next few days. Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't had Indian food in a such a long time and definitely need to eat some it. I like how they integrate the spices in the different foods, especially the chicken. An Indian gal that I used to work suggesting boiling Chai tea bags in milk rather than water as it makes the drink richer tasting. Of course, organic milk!.. but yum!.. what a great beverage to drink. Add stevia or Really Raw Honey(name brand) for sweetness.
