Not just poor foods, from left-overs from your gardens, or economical rich broths cause these stock heal and taste more "professional," so much better than any store boxed or cannd variety stock or it wouldn't be here. Making your own delicious vegetable stock is worth the time, effort and is cost effect. The results it has no preservatives, more vitamin and minerals. DON'T WASTE ANYTHING, FREEZE IT AND USE LATER. TOP, CENTERS, BOTTOM OF VEGETABLES CAN BE CUT BOILED AND THEN THROWN AWAY WHOLE. This will recycle used odds and ends and fresh vegetables from the fridge or gardens.
Secret: If you roast the vegetables or saute them first, in the oven with oil or on top of the stove, it will turn out richer color and present a stronger flavor. The more burnt bits are desired and turn out best flavor!
This is for the "mild food diet" entry or semi-fasting days plus great for in-between meals. Remember cooking mineral cannot be destroyed. (matter cannot be destroyed, only changed or concentrated)

The Basic Vegetable Stock
7 large carrots, unpeeled, cut into chunks
3 yellow onions, or leeks or add garlic here
8 celery stalks, cut into chunks
4-6 fresh thyme, parsley springs, 1 bay leaf, or any fresh herb added last part of the cooking for better flavor.
1/4 teaspoon whole peppercorn (can be crushed) or left whole and taken out.
2 cups water
To Roast: Preheat oven to 350. Coat a large roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the carrots, onions, celery (add other vegetable, like 1 large potato, mushrooms, etc.), in the pan and roast for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours if you want a more strong flavored stock, stirring once or twice.
Remove from the oven and transfer the vegetables to a large stockpot. Add 2 cups water to the roasting pan, then stir and scrape the bottom with a spatula to remove any browned bits. Add to the stockpot along with the 4 1/2 qt. water, thyme and parsley, peppercorns, bay leaf or any other herbs and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any scum from the surface. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially and simmer for 2 hours. Strain the stock through a sieve or colander into a large bowl. Discard the solids. Let the stock cool, then store in refrigerator or in the freezer for up to three months. Makes about 4 quarts. You can half this recipe to make 2 quarts. * Don't forget to add the cabbage family from time to time. Good Health

Number 2
BASIC STOCK (on top of stove)
3 medium carrots (cut into chunks or use food chopper)
2 stalks of celery (cut into chunks)
3 medium onions (cut into chunks)
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
1/3 cups of fresh chopped parsley
6 fresh crushed peppercorns
1/2 tsp. tarragon (other herbs of your choice)
6 cups of water. (or 2 qts.)
You can add fresh herbs, greens, parsnips, turnips, leeks in place of the onion, rhubarb, and other vegetables you have left in your refrigerator or garden.
Saute the ones you want to have a strong rich flavor to the stock in olive oil and butter. Caramelizing the vegetables is great if you want a rich, dark color stock.
Use a large pot and bring to a low boil to a summer and cover about 1 hour.
Strain vegetables restrain through 2 dense paper towels in the bottom of the strainer to get a clear broth.
Or Puree for a thicker stock adding more water when necessary.
Every cook has her own style of broth, or stock depending what vegetables have been prepared and what's your style. Save all left over vegetable/herbs, the cores of cabbage the ends of celery and asparagus the part with is tough add the carrots and garden herb and you have a vegetable stock. If you saute them before you bring them to a slow boil it will make the stock richer and causes for a variety. Broth's really curbs appetites and rich in minerals which can't be destroyed by heat. Here's a different style:
Healing or Semi Fast POTASSIUM BROTH
This is a GREAT tasting addition to your Cleansing Program. It will FLUSH your Body of TOXINS, Poisons and UNWANTED Salts and Acids, while giving you a CONCENTRATED amount of Vitamins and Minerals.
1. Fill a LARGE pot with 25% Potato peelings, 25% Carrot peelings and WHOLE chopped Beets, 25% chopped Onions, including 50 cloves of Garlic, 25% Celery and DARK Greens.
2. Add HOT Peppers to taste.
3. Add enough water to cover the vegetables and simmer on very LOW temperature for 1-2 hours.
4. Strain, or just dip your mug in, and drink ONLY the Broth.
5. Make enough for 2 days, refrigerating the leftover Broth. This is great for semi-fasts. (for the sick who need to "clean house" more slowly)
NOTE: Put the vegetables in your compost. It is IMPORTANT, that you use ORGANIC Vegetables, because you do NOT want to consume any more Toxic Insecticides, Pesticides or Inorganic Chemical Fertilizers, while you're doing a Cleansing and Detoxification Program! Not to mention GM foods don't have much anti fungal properties.
NOTE: Since the Potassium Broth is a POWERFUL Electrolyte BA LANCER, it must to be taken by SICK People ONLY, otherwise the Electrolytes, but especially Potassium, will QUICKLY become OUT-OF-BALANCE in the Body!

Use: Organic vegetables are grown with no pesticides or are not genetically alterations, and, they has more minerals. The soil is enriched and naturally composted. Your body will know the difference. A starved body nutritional is put on disease and weight.
A healthy cooking site is
http://www.healthycookingwithcindy.com/ They are on channel 20 everyday and it's one of my favorite shows. Try her Black Bean Salsa and Roasted Red Peppers and Light Citrus Dressing. She also has a good stock recipe too. I like her style of foods and the thought behind them. That's why she's mentioned here and others are not.
*Yes, juicer occasionally. The juices are good for you. Is it natural in nature? It can be loaded with natural sugars. A glass of apple juice has more sugar in it than a coke. Of course, apple juice has more nutrition than many. Mix fruit juices with vegetables slow down the process of releasing its sugars It better to drink fruit juices with meals. Sip slowly with your saliva for good digestion. Mix vegetable with fruits this slows down the process of digestion and stays with you longer slowing down the process of the sugar releasing into the body. Fruit alone, on an empty stomach can release drugs and toxins too fast. This can make you light headed and irritable and even sick.
But all these foods are mild foods (Word of Wisdom Diet is a plant based diet and many interpretation's are not healing because meat protein will stop the bodies eliminations of body toxins or disease.)
"And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with "herbs and mild food", and that not by the hand of an enemy."
These ingredients can go along with what's ..."in season."

Add water enough to cover a inch above the vegetables. in a big pot (or two) and stir. Bring to a low boil for about 25 min. then let stand till cool enough to drink. Strain broth, leaving the broth of vitamins, minerals and flavor. Store in small air tight containers (non plastic) to heat up and use later in the day. (It freezes too, in ice cube trays or small containers, but there will be none left over to do that.)
Add no protein, remembering this would stop the process of elimination and any removal of toxic wastes, drugs, poisons etc. (or diseases) the body has stored. You can use it on days needed fasting, Or add in legumes, macaroni, spaghetti, for soups, occasionally using meats.
