While on a Gemmotherapy program everyone needs to eat the equivalent of 3 complete vegetable proteins per day.
Here are some helpful conversions for building complete proteins:
2/3 cup cooked grain with 1/3 cup cooked beans, lentils, and split peas = 1 complete protein
2/3 cup cooked grain with goat’s milk or almond milk = 1 complete protein
2/3 cup cooked pasta with 2 TBSP seeds or nut butter = 1 complete protein
Bread with 2 TBSP seeds or nut butter = 1 complete protein
Protein Conversion
8 ounces of animal protein = 2 complete vegetable proteins
If eating animal protein 2 times a day, reduce animal protein to 6 ounces each serving
Eggs = 1 complete vegetable protein only!
Cheese = 1 complete vegetable protein only!

Potato Latkes
This is a traditional recipe for latkes (potato pancakes) which has been adapted to work with the food combining program. Using the substitutions for white potatoes make this recipe a great accompaniment to meat!
Latkes
Makes about 11 servings
2 cups grated root vegetables:
(Try Jewel or Japanese sweet potato and parsnip, or Zucchini and carrots)
2 whole eggs
1/8 tsp. baking powder
Salt, pepper and grated onion (to taste)
1 Tbsp bread crumbs
1.) Peel root vegetables and grate
2.) Beat eggs and mix with rest of ingredients, adding a little pepper
3.) Drop onto skillet well greased with coconut oil. Brown on both sides serve.
Comment:
I use the large holes on the grater and usually leave the skins on when I am using white potatoes. White potato tastes best fried in butter vs olive oil, but I haven't tried cooking them in coconut oil or duck/goose fat. The sweet potato tasted great sauteed in coconut oil. Since I don't keep bread crumbs or wheat germ in the house I will take my fine grater/rasp and make the bread crumbs from the wheatless bread I have at home. The white potato gives off lots of water, but I just keep mixing it.
Enjoy!

What is Detoxification?
Our bodies have many built-in detoxification mechanisms. We eliminate toxins through the colon, liver, lungs, kidneys, lymph, and skin.
In our modern world, however, the natural detoxification systems of the body are completely overloaded by the large amount of toxins we absorb from our heavily polluted environment, food, and water. In order to preserve good health, it is of paramount importance that we keep toxic substances to a minimum and periodically help our body get rid of them through a detoxification program.
None of us is immune to environmental pollutants, and almost everybody can benefit from detoxification. In fact, it's one of the best ways to remain healthy in a destructive environment.
The Benefits of Detoxification
After a gentle and efficient detoxification program, your body's energy will rise on the physical, mental, and emotional level. You may have better moods and more energy to improve your diet and your environment. Your digestion may improve, you may have less mucous and congestion in the body, and your internal organs will function better.
In my practice, I consistently see that homeopathic remedies work significantly better for patients who have used one of my detoxification programs. Their energy and vitality is greatly improved after their body is cleansed of toxins.
How to Detoxify
Since detoxification supports your body to release toxins from the cells into your internal systems, it's very important to do the detoxification program under the guidance of an experienced health practitioner. In my practice, I use Gemmotherapy for gentle and efficient detoxification.
Gemmotherapy is an advanced form of herbal preparation that uses plant tissue of buds, new shoots and rootlets in tincture form. This very young plant tissue is extremely potent in life force, and works deeply in the areas of detoxification and rejuvenation. Gemmotherapy is particularly effective for drainage due to its detoxifying actions on the body.
"Gemmotherapy" is derived from the root word“gemma,” the Latin word for bud. Already very popular in Europe, the practice is just now being introduced to the United States. Using Gemmotherapy, we can design a custom detoxification program to meet your specific needs. The preparations are gentle, organic, and environmentally sustainable.
