♥ Day 70 ♥ Mono Orange Juice Diet.

Day 70 ♥

I have been reading the detailed account of the addition of Orange juice to the diets of 341 children, from 1930– 1931, in Mooseheart, Illinois, 'City of Children' village.

The account is written by Dr. Milton T. Hanke and it makes for pretty interesting reading.

There are very detailed accounts of the children's diets before the Orange juice was added, and the diet was kept the same during the tests, with the only exception being the addition of 16 oz (in two lots of 8oz) of fresh raw squeezed Orange juice daily, with the addition of a half a lemon (for taste) to each 8oz Orange juice serving.

The diets, to me, seemed woefully lacking in fruit. The average fruit consumption being less than half a pound of fruit per day.
So I would imagine that the children would have been getting less than optimal vitamin C.
This is despite the daily calories seeming quite adequate, with an average of 2, 545 calories for the girls, and 3,064 for the boys. The age range of the children was ten to seventeen.

Interestingly, after the test period, the Orange juice was reduced to just 3oz daily, and the benefits that the children enjoyed from the two 8oz daily drinks of Orange juice was greatly diminished.

So, the major recorded benefits to the children were 57% less cavities and 83% less gum disease. And in addition the children's growth rates increased by 75%.
A control group who had the same diet, but did not receive the Orange juice, had no decrease in cavities and gum disease, and no improved growth rate.

It is sad to think that the average diet of many of today's children contains even less fresh fruit than the Mooseheart children, and it just goes to show that even without taking any of the processed foods out of their diet, children on a SAD diet could hugely benefit from two big glasses of fresh Orange juice daily.
Taking into account my previous post (on Day 59) on the benefits to children and prison inmates of fresh fruit and Orange juice, it is clear that the addition of fresh raw fruit is so very important to the mental and physical well-being of our Western Society.
Even without reducing the cooked and processed foods, fresh fruit would make such a valuable addition to our children's dietary. And then imagine if the amount of processed foods were reduced what the amazing effects could be.

So looking at the United States in the 2000 cencus, there were 76.6 million children enrolled in schools.I estimate (based on the costs of my Biodynamic Oranges) that this would cost around $2.50 per day for 2, 8oz glasses of Biodynamic Orange juice.

So, for all the school children to have free fresh Biodynamic Orange juice it would cost $191.5 million dollars per day.
Seeing as the US spends $1948 million on defence each day, the cost of $191.5 million per day on Biodynamic Oranges seems a small price to pay to defend what is vitally important— our children's health.

And as a beautiful bonus there would be thousands of lovely groves of chemical free Oranges. So more tree cover, more oxygen and a better soil structure, as well as the possibility for many to work in a chemical free environment surrounded by fruit trees ♥

♥♥ Day 50 ♥♥

Day 50 ♥

Today was 50 days on the true Golden Nectar.

What, I find, is so wonderful about fruit is that one can live on it exclusively, even mono-style, for an extended period and yet feel wonderfully healthy ♥

The guy, Morgan Spurlock, who did an all-McDonald's diet had severe health consequences after just 30 days on his diet.

Similarly, I do not think there is another food, apart from sweet juicy fruit, that one could live on for an extended period and see an improvement in health.

Other foods eaten mono, may be able to support life for a while but not even come close to support a thriving life.

And thriving for me is what it is all about: thriving, wonderful, joyful health.

So, for me, a mono fruit diet enables a good deal of cleansing to occur whilst at the same time allows me to thrive and live my life in a beautiful way ♥

I got  a beautiful delivery of amazing Organic Valencias today from Maleny Organic Farmers' Market.

These folk sell all organic, grow much of their produce themselves, and  I am very grateful to them for bringing me a delicious big box full of Organic Oranges, for just a $2.50 delivery charge.

There were lots of the very small syrup balls in the box, so I had a great day, juice-wise ♥

Fruity Fare ♥

Morning - 11 small syrup balls, and 1 regular Organic Valencia, juiced in my mouth.

Late Morning - tried out new Oranges from delivery- 15 small syrup balls, juiced in my mouth.

Afternoon - 11 more syrup balls, juiced in my mouth.

These Oranges are about half, or less, the size of regular Oranges - but deliver about 10 times the flavour!

♥ Day 38 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 38 ♥

I had a great day today; Cappi and I went to the Northey Streets Organic Market in central Brisbane.

There was some doubt if we would make the market, which finished at 10.30am, because firstly I chose the slow train, rather than the express. I guess all our decisions are really the 'right' decisions but sometimes they give us a roundabout way to get there!
Then there were some young people on the slow train causing some issues. It is sad to see young people really out of it on drugs and alcohol, they have so much potential in their young bodies.
So the train was delayed while the Queensland police rushed up to the side of the train sirens blaring. All rather dramatic really for a couple of young people stuggling with life.

So we finally got to the market, lots of fast walking from the nearest railway station. Cappi was ace, kept up with me and did not complain once about the pace at which we were travelling the streets of Brisbane.
It was just before 10am when we arrived and most of the stalls had sold out. But with Orange luck there was a stall still selling fresh squeezed Organic Valencia juice. They were also selling whole Valencias, and I got the pick of all the teeny tiny small ones (that I just love—they are little balls of concentrated sunlight sweetness). These little ones are not only cheaper but tastier, but no one else seems to have that figured just yet!
Cappi had some Organic Bananas, it is just so good that everything in this market is Organic, and some Organic dried Mango.


So after our Orange juices, we went to take a look at the nursery, situated in the community city farm, next to the market.
It is a community farm/nursery, and it has the nicest feel to it; green and peaceful, and earthy and alive.

And joy of joys, they had Peanut Butter Fruit trees for sale !

So we came home not only with two bags of wonderful Organic Oranges but a Peanut Butter Fruit tree (Bunchosia argentia).
So all in all a rather grand day ♥.


What I am finding is very much that when the Oranges are of wonderful quality, I desire no other fruit.
But when they have been less than optimal, I have fancied the smells of other fruit.
Quality is just so important ♥

Morning— 500mls x2 of fresh squeezed Organic Valencia juice from the market.
