Lettuces

Lettuces require very little work to digest. The leaves of medicinal lettuces scrub and massage the linings of your stomach, small intestine, and colon, loosening old, trapped bad bacteria and toxic yeast, mold, and other types of unproductive fungus, along with debris and pockets of waste matter so they can be eliminated.

Leafy greens are wonderful healers of intestinal disorders over time. They help to feed good microorganisms inside the gut, and also increase beneficial hydrochloric acid levels that make the stomach composition more alkaline, which in turn kills off unproductive bacteria. Types of bacteria that leafy greens help to reduce are H. pylori, E. coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and C. difficile, which are often responsible for inflammation, scar tissue, and stomach ulcers.

Leafy greens create true alkalinity in our body systems, especially the lymphatic, which can become the most acidic body system. Leafy greens help to expel, purge, and drain the lymphatic system of toxins.

Leafy greens feed all organs and body systems. They hold precious and vital mineral salts, are high in plant amino acids, enzymes, vitamin A, B vitamins such as folic acid, healing alkaloids (plant compounds that repel disease), micronutrients for restoring the endocrine system, chlorophyll, and carotenes.

Leafy greens are antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-mold—and great for staving off every toxin, poison, and pathogen in the Unforgiving Six and also supporting us against adrenaline triggers and civilization sabotage.

Lettuces have a phytochemical compound base that almost has a milky texture closer to the stem. This milky-like texture is rich in minerals and amino acids and can be soothing to stomach and intestinal linings. The bitter phytochemical compounds that are in the outer leaf of the lettuce have liver- and gallbladder-purging tendencies. This is part of why lettuce is so cleansing and healing.

Enjoy raw in juices, salads, and smoothies, and as a tortilla alternative.
