Thirsty

[2007]

[Attendee] 

When you were on the subject of water that we brought, if you're thirsty, but you're not hungry? 

[Aajonus] 

Again, what do you determine as thirst? Your mouth is dry?  

[Attendee] 

Well, it's stomach. It's not just mouth. 

Yeah, my mouth's dry. 

[Aajonus] 

Then drink milk.  

[Attendee] 

But I get too fat. I just put on fat and it just, even when I drink the kefir, and then I add weight and I feel sluggish. I don't get energy. So, could vegetable juice or certain types?  

[Aajonus] 

Vegetable juice will help, will make it better. Just drink celery.  

[Attendee #2] 

Can you drink water when you're thirsty? 

[Aajonus] 

Well, I tell everybody to tomatoes, eat some tomato drink that you put a little lemon in, a little vinegar, some cream. I’ve got one professional tennis player that I have her drinking cucumber juice, straight cucumber juice with a little bit of coconut cream and a little bit of dairy cream in it, and that hydrates her. She only has a quart a day and she can play all day long on just a quart a day. You see those other tennis players downing a gallon, gallon and a half a day. So ,she only puts down a quart a day, and this is a woman who's six-foot-tall, Canadian tennis player. So, she's really up there. 

So, that's the kind of thing to do. Look for other things other than water. 

[Attendee] 

Cucumbers? 

[Aajonus] 

Yeah. 

[Attendee #3] 

I once asked you this question too, and ever since you gave me the answer, I've been doing it ever since. I eat cucumbers and tomatoes.  

[Aajonus] 

There you go. 

[Attendee #3] 

I just came from the market, I bought 9 baskets of the organic tomatoes. I carry them everywhere.  

[Aajonus] 

And that keeps you from drinking all that water.  

[Attendee #3] 

Yeah. And I get bags of organic cucumbers and peel them. It's great. 

[Attendee #4] 

Peel them? 

[Attendee #3] 

Peel the cucumbers. 

[Aajonus] 

Because if you're already taking that much cucumber in, you don't want all those peels. They'll turn your digestive tract alkaline and you won't be able to digest your meats and your dairy as well. 

[Attendee #2] 

But for your vegetable juice, you don't have to do them? 

[Aajonus] 

No, because you're extracting the pulp. Anybody who has really rich green bowel movements, you need to filter your juice.  

[Attendee #2] 

It shouldn’t be green? 

[Aajonus] 

Not unless you're throwing off some gangrenous tissue, but then it'll be a gray-green, not a bright green, a rich green. That's too much cellulose from your vegetable juice. 

[Attendee] 

Do you have to peel the vegetables then for your green juice? 

[Aajonus] 

No, no, no. You just have to filter your juice.  

[Attendee] 

Through like a coffee filter or something like that?  

[Aajonus] 

No, just take a screen, a very fine screen, just pour through the screen.  

[Attendee] 

Like Muslim cloth or something? 

[Aajonus] 

Muslim cloth is even better if you want to do that, it takes a lot of time to go...
