I finally juiced again. This is organic carrots, red apple, cucumber, celery, and broccoli! I’m sipping it right now. The juice is sweet. Not bad at all. And loaded with electric energy. My body is grateful. This one cost maybe $6 to make. Not bad considering how much it made. I will have plenty for later. Happy juicing.

Following my recent bike accident, I’ve used a few ointments to heal my skin, and relieve minor aches and pains. Mostly I’m trying to minimize scaring. I have enough, and bright pink isn’t a good color on me.
I’m covered in purple and green bruises. For sore muscles I’m using Tiger Balm Red Extra Strength. This pain relieving ointment really does work, so I don’t need to take any pills. It helps my muscles relax, so I can go about my business. Plus, the potent menthol smell is soothing. A little dab of this stuff goes a long way. Try it out.
To heal my road rash and cuts I’m using Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Skin Ointment. I got it from my local health food store for $7.99. It’s a good buy because it is blended with natural oils enriched with Vitamin E, and Lavender Oil. I love this product. It is fragrance/dye free too. This product stays on my skin, and prevents my sexy scabs from falling off early. Tea Tree oil heals dry, chapped skin quickly.
Finally, I’ve been using organic 100% Hawaiian Moon Aloe. You can use this cream topically for many things, from sore muscles, to chapped lips. Aloe Vera is a miracle worker. It hydrates deep into skin. According to their website, “natural Aloe Vera contains six antiseptic agents that fight infection; three analgesics to reduce pain and at least three anti-inflammatory agents.” I also drink Aloe Vera juice, and water regularly to help with digestion.
These three products are dynamic. See what they can do for you. Thanks for visiting Survival Bros. Your likes, comments, and shares are greatly appreciated. It helps build this emergency preparedness community. Peace.

Lunch: Corn chowder with potatoes,celery, pepper, cheese, add cheezy kale chips, chicken breast meat, and finally alfalfa sprouts. I couldn’t find a bigger bowl. Plus, a tall glass of light Silk vanilla soy milk.

Survival Bros juices! And we love it. If you haven’t had fresh, raw, fruit and veggie juice, then you’re are missing out. In this blog, SB shows you the power of juicing. If you want, make a drink, then read on. I’m sipping a cucumber, carrot, celery blend as I write.
I got the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer two years back. Since then, every time I need more energy, I look to juicing. Sure caffeine and other stimulants can give you a boost, but fresh juice is different. It gives me energy, and mental clarity. It’s electric, and alive. I feel better immediately after drinking a large glass. Sometimes I pound 72 ounces for a complete meal. Try mixing protein, wheat grass, or maca powder in for even more power! Play around with mixing supplements and juice.
If you’ve never juiced before, don’t be scared. You probably won’t have to hangout near the bathroom either, like some people think. Juicing is a natural, and easy way to detox, and even super hydrate. I typically juice before setting out on a long adventure. Coconut water is another excellent hydrator.
Freshly extracted juice is best consumed within 24 hours, but it’s OK if refrigerated up to three days in a sealed container. Hippies like us at Survival Bros also love that it hasn’t been pasteurized. Heat destroys bacteria, molds, and unwanted micro-organisms that MIGHT be hiding in the juice, but all those raw vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are likely lost too. Think for yourself. I’ve never heard of anybody getting hurt juicing.
Juice is healing. Go on a three day juice feast and tell me you don’t look and feel better. Juicing gives you vitality. The more you juice, the more you glow. Your skin will look better, and people will notice. No we aren’t selling juicers, but we do want you to be healthy. If you can’t afford a new juicer, then regularly visit a shop or health food store that serves fresh juice. You can also buy a manual, citrus juicer for under $10. Next to practicing yoga, juicing is probably the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. You won’t regret investing in a juicer. There are plenty of books on the topic too, so don’t be intimidated to start your practice. The documentary, “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” by Joe Cross is worth watching also.
Another juice I really enjoy is simply: beets, lemon, ginger, and green apples! Let’s hear your juicing journey. Comment here or leave a recipe for others. Best wishes from the bunker.
