15/05/2005: "PLAYBOY ANTIDOTE"

Fresh vegetable juice has enzymes which are destroyed by heat as in cooking. Canned vegetables have no enzymes due to the high heat used to speed production.

It was taught to us to attempt to live on cannned food only, would not work, eventually we'd become sick and later die. This is due to the no enzymes clause. They are essential.

In Sydney this week a big crowd celebrated life at the wake of an eastern suburbs identity David Broad a feature in the popular (super8) sound 'home movie' The Party on Shark Island (where Dave brought along $1000 worth of creme and custard pies for one of his popular Sydney Harbour beach pie fights.) That was when finances allowed such waste.

Dave Broad's regular drink was 70% white rum, 30% cola. Almost straight rum, it would fly a model aircraft. He died with advanced liver cancer complications after a long decline (slow death) in hospital. A sad liver being a very unhappy consequence for an otherwise always happy guy. He deserved better.

His recent lifestyle (Sydney city cab driver) while offering his verbal humour a new wide audience was a down grade for a once high-on-life young rich man of the Eastern Suburbs.

He told me he enjoyed the cabbie lifestyle more than the parties scene! But that was before the illness.

It is a reminder for those with active brain cells left, from the The Shark Island Party days, to find a few antidotes and modify those destructive old ways.

Try carrot, celery and beetroot juice. (65% carrot, 25% celery, 10% beetroot). Or just carrot-celery (70-30).
