So I'm on this Budwig protocol and it's been going pretty well so far. I've found some tastes I've liked that I didn't before such as bell peppers and avocados.
But this morning I encountered something which, well, I don't know if I'll ever master.
One premise of the protocol is to get all sorts of good enzymes inside you which will help with cell health and digestion and that sort of stuff. So first thing every morning you're supposed to drink a glass of sauerkraut juice.
Yup. Sauerkraut juice. Just the idea makes me grimace.
I've never been a brine kind of gal. My brothers love pickles. I know folks who pull one of those puppies out of the jar and eat it on down with somewhat risque relish. I don't even like cucumbers, the non-brine version of pickles.
Sauerkraut hasn't been high on my list, either, not that I've had a lot. Again, even cabbage isn't a big winner for me, although that at least is edible.
Sauerkraut juice doesn't even come close. It's absolutely vile. Horrid, foul, disgusting. In other words, yucky.
I gave it a couple of days. I drank some yesterday and just made ugly faces. I'm making them now in memory. This morning I downed some, trying to drink as fast as I could, and turned into the Vitamitavegimin woman on "I Love Lucy." Vile, I say, vile.
I finally sent a post to the Budwig yahoo group I belong to. I described my reaction to the drink and asked if there was anything I could do to improve the taste.
The moderator wouldn't post it. I guess I'd been a little vehement in my opinions. She did tell me, though, that I can add juice or water to it and play with it that way.
I'll give that a try tomorrow.
Sauerkraut juice. I've given up meat, chicken, chips, ice cream, cookies, french fries... the list goes on. But sauerkraut juice????
I'm not sure which is worse, the juice or the cancer.
