RAW CRANBERRY ORANGE DRINK

1 12 oz. Bag fresh cranberries, organic is best

8 organic juicing oranges

3 peppermint tea bags

2-3 cups water

stevia extract to taste

This beverage can be made with a blender or a vegetable juicer. It is also helpful to have a citrus juicer.

Boil the water and pour into a glass quart jar or a teapot and add 3 peppermint tea bags or 3 Tbsp. of the dried herb. Let steep until cooled to room temperature.

Wash cranberries and drain. If you are using a vegetable juicer, put them through a vegetable juicer and set aside the juice. If using a blender place the cranberries into a blender. Add the tea to the blender and blend very well. Strain mixture through a strainer into a glass bowl and press pulp with a spoon until most of juice is removed. Discard pulp or put it into homemade  cranberry sauce.

Juice oranges. Mix orange juice, cranberry juice, and tea if you used a vegetable juicer to extract the cranberry juice, in a pitcher. Add stevia to sweeten to taste. Enjoy!

Dr. Larry Webster, Founder of the Internationsl Chiropractic Pediatric Association, developed this technique as a safe means to restore proper pelvic structure and function for pregnant mothers.  In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a 75%-95% success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position. 

Most commonly known for its success in allowing breech babies to turn, the Webster technique also assists other non-vertex positioning which may indicate the presence  of subluxation and in-utero constraint.   Chiropractors trained in this technique  strongly recommend its use throughout pregnancy to detect subluxations and prevent in-utero constraint.  For more information visit icpa4kids.com.

“I came because my baby was found to be breech at 30-32 weeks.  We were hoping for a VBAC and knew we would have to have the baby turn before birth.  I am also being seen postpartum for issues related to the birth.  Hoping my body will be back to normal soon!”   (VBAC means vaginal birth after a previous C-section.)

Please describe your response to chiropractic treatment.

Our baby took her time turning but finally turned on her own at 38 weeks and 1 day.  We were able to have a VBAC at 40 weeks with a healthy baby.  The recovery has been much easier than with our C-section baby and we are so happy everything worked out.”~J.B., 31 year-old female

Celeriac root is an unusual vegetable related to celery that has a fantastic flavor.  If you can’t find it, 4 stalks of celery can be substituted.  The vegetable stock can be made concurrently with the onion, the leek trimmings, the potato and celeriac peelings, plus a bay leaf.  Remember to slit the leek with a knife lengthwise from about 3 inches from the root end all the way through the remainder of the leek so you can wash all the dirt out.

1 celeriac root (5 inches in diameter)

4 cups vegetable stock

1 bay leaf

1 onion

1 leek

4 small white potatoes

2 Tbsp. butter

1/3 cup cream or plain yogurt

4-5 sprigs of fresh basil and parley each

Wash and trim the leek well–usually only about 6-8 inches of the white part of the root end of the leek is used and the rest trimmed off.  Place the trimmings in a sauce pan with 5 cups of water, the bay leaf, and the onion (cut in half ) and bring to a boil.  Turn heat to medium low and cover.  Wash and skin the celeriac root and potatoes.  Place the peels in the water also and continue to simmer with the lid on.  Simmer for 45 minutes.  Continue preparing the remaining ingredients while the stock cooks.

Chop the leek and potatoes.  Grate the celeriac root.   Saute the leek in the melted butter in another sauce pan for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.  Add the potatoes and grated celeriac root.  Saute 5 minutes more.  Add the stock and bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cover for 45 minutes or until vegetables are soft.  Blend with a hand-held blender until smooth. (You can also transfer to a blender and blend.)   Add cream or yogurt, salt and pepper to taste, and the chopped herbs.  Serves 4-6.
