    Mexican Medicine mixture

    A very spry, elderly friend gave me this unusual recipe. She told me it’s an authentic Mexican medicine recipe from her childhood, and that her family made it (sans a Vitamix) by grinding it by hand. I made it the next day (with my Vitamix) because I was so intrigued, and we’ve been enjoying it ever since!

    It’s both addictive —in a good away—and seriously fabulous for the immune system!
     
    Mexican medicine is bubbly and beautiful, easy to make, and 1 recipe lasts a long time at just 1 TBSP a day per person.

    Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning your body can’t produce it, yet it’s known to give magnificent health benefits. It’s naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables, that’s why it’s commonly advised to get your vitamin C intake from foods daily and forego the supplements.
    Whooping cough or an emergency need like covid prevention would be just 2 instances when high dose Vitamin C supplementation would be in order.

     

    The Broad Health Benefits of Vitamin C

    • Increases your blood antioxidant levels by 30%. Helps the body fight inflammation which reduces risk of chronic disease. [1] 
    • Helps lower blood pressure.
    • Nine studies (combined 293,172 participants) found 10 years later, people who took at least 700 mg. of Vitamin C daily had a 25% lower risk of heart disease than those who did not. 
    • A huge 20 year study found people who took a vitamin C supplement had a 44% lower gout risk and reduced blood uric acid levels.
    • Just 100 mg of vitamin C improves iron absorption up to 67%. Vitamin C helps control anemia in children.
    • Boosts immunity: Shortens wound healing time, increases white blood cells and T-cells, heals those with pneumonia and tuberculosis faster. 
    • Protects your memory and thinking as you age (2nd source) (3rd source)

    Mexican medicine offers a fabulous array of other vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in every ingredient making this a HIGH VITAMIN whole food.

    Beside the lemons, onion, and raw garlic, the raw honey alone offers (source):

    • help with weight loss and may cause an increase in insulin, an important hormone for controlling blood sugar
    • anticancer and antioxidant properties
    • increased energy 
    • cough relief
    • antibacterial and antifungal properties
    • increased speed in wound healing
     

    Juanita’s High Potency Vitamin C Mexican Medicine Recipe

    1 Recipe = 2 quart jars, each just over 3/4 full

    • 10-12 organic lemons, peeled of their rind (or limes, if you prefer)
    • 1 organic medium to large whole head of garlic, each clove peeled (you will not be able to taste it!)
    • 1 large red, sweet onion (you will not be able to taste it!)
    • 3 mandarin oranges, deseeded, for a boost of brilliant color and mellowing effect
    • 1 – 1 ¼ cup raw local honey or manuka honey
    • 2 – 2 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon, preferably organic 
    • 1 heaping teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt (for a wide range of trace minerals)

    Note: instead of having garlic or onion breath, we now know lemons and cinnamon deodorize those smells and are some of the best breath fresheners!

    Directions for Mexican Medicine

    Put all ingredients into your Vitamix tub (in batches if needed), cover, and blend into a thick slurry. 

    Pour onto the glass quart jars. Cap and refrigerate. Mexican medicine will store for 3 months, but the vitamin content will fall if kept that long. 

    Take it DAILY for a boost to your immune system, for prevention when exposed to illness, and for overall well-being.

    Again, take 1 TBSP a day or divide by taking a heaping tsp both AM and PM.

    So this is a great way to consume your raw garlic! Just about as good as my fermented garlic and honey recipe!

    Hi! I'm Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      Hi Jacqueline…I realize this post wasn’t specifically on zinc..but on other immunity supporting remedy…What are your thoughts/research on zinc? Perhaps you have already done a post on zinc?
      I’ve heard that adults should be taking it along with children and wash it down with ruby red grapefruit juice..something about the combination helps our bodies absorb it better. I will not post the specific place that is recommending it. If you would like the site, let me know, just didn’t think I should post it in the comments.
      Is zinc something we should be taking each day for adults and 3x a week for children? Thank you for your time and willingness to share your knowledge with others.

        Hi, Lorinda!
        Yes, zinc is vital for brain development in our children and all through life! It is the intelligence mineral! I wrote about it in 2 posts:
        https://deeprootsathome.com/4-natural-science-backed-ways-to-be-prepared-for-coronavirus-pandemic/ (this one has dosages)
        https://deeprootsathome.com/why-soy-infant-formula-is-so-harmful-to-babies/ (special section on zinc)

        I hope that helps! And I’d love to investigate more on the use of red grapefruit juice to help assimilate!
        God bless you!

      Dear Jackie,
      That is exactly the reason why
      I do not want the vaccine;
      because it is made from
      cells from aborted babies.
      And that is not right at all!!!

      I connected with you on
      Parler. 🙂 I am new to
      Parler too and do not
      know how to use it very
      well either. I am hoping
      I can eventually do
      messaging on there.
      I went on Parler to try
      to support Americans
      and pray for and with
      them. I am a Canadian.
      My name on there is-
      Husband and wife team

      What would a person use
      instead of the vitamin C
      recipe if they cannot
      have citrus because of
      acid reflux?

      I read in one of your e-mails
      just to pass something on
      that you said, with someone
      I trust. But I can’t remember
      what the subject was. I just
      passed on your pie recipe
      and the vitamin C recipe.
      Could you please refresh my
      memory?
      Thank-you and God bless you!!!
      Sincerely,
      Nancy

        Hi, Nancy! I apologize for the long delay in answering you! My main computer was hacked last Friday and so I am waayyyy behind. I seldom get to Parler, so forgive me. Thank you for your support! I am indeed grateful. We are still unburying from the damage, so I may not be able to respond as normal.

        AS for the vitamin C component of the recipe, I would look to kiwis as a substitution bc kiwis are VERY high in C! I hope that helps 😀
        Blessings, Jacqueline

      Dear Jacqueline
      Oh, I did not want my Parler
      name to be public. I guess I
      forgot to mention that.
      (sheepish face here)

      God bless your computer
      work and all that you have
      to do!
      I am praying for you!
      God bless,
      Nancy
      P.S. What is the check box that I check off
      right under my e-mail? No worries. Get
      back to me when you have the time.
      Actually, I am just thinking it may be
      a check box to agree of the handling of
      my information. (I had thought it was
      for my post to be private:) That shows
      how much I know about doing all this
      stuff!!! Hee hee! I thought it meant
      that my post would be private. Go
      figure. I laugh at myself sometimes:)
      Jesus delights in us. We are a chosen
      generation, a royal priesthood, and
      a peculiar people:) Jesus delights
      over us with singing!
      Have a wonderful day with Jesus!!!
