1-T fresh flaxseeds--1 clove garlic--1-2 handfulls of greens (kale-spinach-collards-etc)1T vitamineral green-drop b12 (few times a week)
drop vit. D (2000iu's) piece fresh ginger. Whirl it up in my vitamix--is it "delicious"--nope, but pretty good to me. More fruit would make it taste better but i trade that off.
A question, on the xtend-life site Warren Matthews believes that kale, collards,(maybe others--spinach, broccoli, o.k.) should not be eaten raw (reasons why escape me)"Always" cook. Anyone have any thoughts on that ? What i do is heat up some water to boil when i use those veggies and pour it in just to be safe. He doesn't know if that is o.k. but could be.

More is not always better and manipulating foods to get more, may not be better either.

I agree with that but am wondering if there is a benefit to "more" in order to improve immune function. In that case is there any benefit to green smoothies or juices ?
