"O3 Fix" Recipe

Fruit Slushy

Provides daily maintenance flax oil and seeds for the "O3 Fix"
It is also important to attend to the other details of this powerful omega-3 therapy

Fruit Slushy Instructions

Step 1: BLEND Flax oil with sulfur-rich dairy

Sulfur-containing amino acids react with oil's high energy, electron-rich fatty acids to enhance their delivery to cells by making them water soluble.

Flax oil specifics

ORGANIC, FRESH, LOW-HEAT EXPELLER-PRESSED (kept refrigerated or frozen, in opaque bottle). NOT HIGH LIGNAN (don’t pay oil prices for lignans, cheaper from seeds). Use within 1 month of opening. Keeps up to 12 months if no air in bottle. Flora® (removes oxygen from top of bottle) and Spectrum® are good brands,

Daily MAINTENANCE Flax Oil dose

1-2 Tbsp. Flax oil / PERSON / DAY (at least 2 Tbsp. if over #200).

Best tools for blending?

Use an electric stick blender or container blender (if adding a significant amount of other ingredients as in the fruit slushy and creamy dessert recipes) to combine oil and sulfur-rich dairy choice until smooth and no oil is visible. If using a container blender, you will need to add some water to cover the blades, especially if using Whey protein powder. 

How much sulfur-rich dairy to use?

Blend EACH TABLESPOON of Flax Oil with (Choose ONE or a proportionate mixture of any, e.g. 1/2 one and double another):

  • 1 Tbsp. Whey protein powder (measured accurately) – COLD-PROCESSED (can be low-heat pasteurized) from RAW, ORGANIC (at least Non-GMO) GRASS-fed cows’ milk. Unsweetened, and NOT protein ISOLATES (missing nutrients) or acid-processed. Check out “Raw Grass Fed Whey”, sold on Amazon. Current link
Or
  • 2 Tbsp. Cottage cheese – PLAIN, LOW Fat (1%)
Or
  • 3 Tbsp. Yogurt – ORGANIC, PLAIN , LOW-FAT. Greek or regular.

Note: LOW fat dairy has higher sulfur content than dairy with higher fat

An example If making recipe for 2 people using 1 Tbsp. flax oil each, blend 2 Tbsp. oil with 2 Tbsp. (1 Tbsp whey / Tbsp. oil) Whey protein powder.

Step 2: Prepare flaxseed

Best if COARSELY ground just before use in a mini-grinder.  Dr. Johanna Budwig emphasized that flaxseeds should be consumed within 15-20 minutes of grinding to retain benefit of sun-energized electrons. Use golden (mildest taste) or brown, small or large seeds. Kept whole and refrigerated in opaque bag, can be stored for several months.

Grind (or measure) daily Flaxseed dose

3 Tbsp. (from 2½ Tbsp. whole seeds) / PERSON / DAY

ORGANIC, GROUND Flaxseed

(Provides: 1 Tbsp Flax oil + lignans + fiber)

Step 3: Make the fruit slushy (for 1 or (2) people)

ADD / BLEND into the prepared appropriate amount of now non-oily / dairy mixture:

  • ½ (1) tsp. raw honey

(aids delivery of nutrients to all body cells, since sugar/glucose is a universal cellular necessity)

  • ½ (1) tsp. vanilla (or  ½ (1) tsp. cinnamon or 1 (2) tsp. organic cocoa )
  • ¼ (½) Banana
  • Some soft fruit (E.g. Mango, peach, strawberries, pineapple (rich in proteolytic enzymes), raspberries (high ellagic acid content)
  • ½ (1) Slice(s) Lemon or lime

(with peel /without pips) – a good source of antioxidant flavonoids and adds a great zingy taste!)

  • ½ (1) CUP Ice cubes and ~½ (1) CUP Water – to achieve a thick but drinkable consistency. Should look like a milkshake.

 

ADD / BLEND IN FLAXSEED LAST (just before drinking, to prevent excessive thickening)

  • (6) TBSP.  ORGANIC, ground FLAXSEED

(Preferably fresh-ground using 2½ (5) TBSP. FLAXSEED, or if blender is powerful enough to grind seeds (E.g. A Vitamix®), you can put whole flaxseeds directly into blender)

Cheers!

Immediately consume this delicious, healthful drink 

Allow at least 90 minutes before or after taking antioxidant supplements such as vitamin E
