Day Twelve


Tijuana: Mon 4 July 2011

Independence day, oh well. Fairly easyday today. For me at least. We met Dr Mora, for the last time before he goes away for a few days. He showed me how to perform an intra muscular injection on Maria, and I shall be trying this at a later date. Maria got the full effect of the Coley's shot later on in the day, and managed a 39.5 degree fever, with all sorts of coughs, aches and sharp pains. These are however, all good as they prove the immune system is w
orking properly as well as the nervous system.

Well as promised, here comes the recipe for good old Hippocrate's soup. This soup is the backbone of the Gerson diet, we eat it with every meal, except breakfast. It is delicious and extremely good for you.

1 Cup Celeriac or 3/4 stalks of branch celery
1/2 Cup Parsley Root
2 Cups of Leek
2 Cups of Onions
Handful of Parsley
2 Cups of Tomatoes
3 Cups of Potatoes

Don't peel any of the vegetables, just brush them thoroughly and cut them pretty coarsely. Place them in a large pan and cover with water, (distilled if possible). Cook on a low heat for about 3 hours, then blend in small portions. After the soup has chilled it can be stored for up to 3 days.
I really like to garnish my soup with a handful of chopped onions, tomatoes and Coriander. Also grate in a little fresh Garlic and a few drops of Apple cider vinegar. Delicious!

Maria fell asleep with her fever quite early tonight so I did a bit of computing on the computer and saw the distant fireworks over San Diego, till I fell asleep to a film.
