How to make "Collagen-Fix" Fruit Shake (for ONE person)
This fruit shake contains the preventative maintenance dose of the Rath-Pauling therapy for building collagen (vitamin C, and the amino acids lysine and proline). Note that the “Collagen-Fix” Fruit shake is not compatible with the Budwig Protocol (which requires high doses of flax oil containing omega-3 to deal with serious health problems).
Make and drink this shake late afternoon / evening – to prevent interference with the therapeutic activity of the O3 fatty acids in the “No-brainer” “O3 Fix” Recipe consumed earlier in the day (usually for breakfast).
Lysine has a taste which some may find unpleasant – to turn this around, this recipe has some additions that actually make it delightful – honest! 🙂
Instructions:
In a container blender – add and blend:
- A little fresh or frozen soft fruit (e.g. guava, kiwi, ½ orange (peeled), strawberries, raspberries, mango, blueberries, etc.). Citrus helps cut the Lysine taste.
- ¼ banana
- ~10-12 oz. water and ice
- 1 ¾ tsp. Lysine powder E.g. Amazon
- 2/3 tsp. vitamin C powder E.g. Amazon
- ¼ C organic whole milk and/or 1-2 Tbsp. organic whey protein ¤
- 1-2 tsp. organic, raw honey (optional)
- ¼ tsp. pure vanilla essence (optional – anti-inflammatory)
- 1 drop 2% Lugol’s iodine (provides a maintenance dose of ~3 mg iodine + iodide. The Lugols’ page explains how to start with a higher dose to deal with a likely deficiency)
- 1/4 tsp. Proline powder. Part of Rath-Pauling therapy for building collagen. E.g. Amazon.
If doing the Rath-Pauling therapy at therapeutic level doses, you will need to have additional C / Lysine drinks and proline according to chosen therapy dosage amounts.
Serve in large glass and immediately enjoy

- Zinc – 8 mg (W) or 11 mg (M). Prefer zinc citrate, chelate, acetate, mono-methionine or gluconate (for omega-3 conversion enzymes)

Heads-up!
This is a deceptively powerful therapy that will go to work on you right from the start. Be prepared for some detox symptoms, called the Herxheimer Reaction. These can be experienced as feeling tired, a slight fever, headache, diarrhea, pain in joints, muscles bones, nausea, rashes and more. May last several days or even weeks, but stay with it and you’ll be a new person!
