Bambeig, Is there a reason why you're 3 oils in your recipe? The original recipe calls for 1 oil, and that's wheat germ oil, if I'm not mistaken. I'll bet your tummy is fighting like made trying to digest all three. Try your recipe with just 1 oil, and maybe 1 fruit and see if your body can handle it. Start with the basic ingredients and once your body gets use to it, then you can start adding more ingrdients.

BambieG~
Sorry you are ill. I've never heard of these particular symptoms before on the cocktail.

Ditto what StellaB and Foxee have posted.

Did you forget to add milk? Also, you are using too much oil - especially if you've just started the cocktail. Your body will have diarrhea symptoms because the oils are causing you to eliminate. (Whenever I overdo a laxative, it makes me nauseous, as well).

Drop to only Wheat Germ Oil and add milk - soy, regular, whatever's your choice and go from there. These symptoms will go away.

I'm sorry the thread is overwhelming large, but stick to the original recipe on page 1 and you won't go wrong. Start branching out after you've been on the cocktail a couple of months and can gauge the results.

Here's a {{HUG}} for BambieG - Get better, Babe and post when you do. Stat!

Ok, I dont know what I'm doing wrong and it may have been mentioned in this thread but I cannot read through everything. I had to stop taking my shakes after taking it daily for 2 weeks because of nausea. This is my shake:

1 egg
1tbsp flaxseed oil
1tbsp wheat germ oil
1tsp coconut oil
2 tbsp wheat germ
banana
strawberry

Also have been having loose stools and have absolutely NO desire to lose weight (Another reason I stopped).

Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong??

Did you forget to include the milk? I use a cup of vanilla soymilk.

 

[bambieg]

I did not want to use milk because I recently developed some lactose intolerance but I will try to add milk and take some lactaid.
And as for all the extra oil, I was looking at other people's recipe's and figure it was a good way to add that in my diet, guess not

Ok, thanks a bunch. I will go back to the orignal recipe and see how that goes.

 

[foxee]

I am lactose intolerant as well. Please try a cup of soymilk in your shake. It's easier to digest.

 

[Okay]

^^ or almond milk

 

[Stella B.]

^^or rice milk, or hemp milk..stick with what your body can handle. Whatever milk you choose, you can use 1/2 cup of it and dilute with 1/2 cup of water. This not only saves on calories, but makes it easier to digest. Or you could just add a half cup of water to thin it out some. Just experiment a little bit, to get it right for you. Happy mixing, and I hope your drink stays down today. We're here to help.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

BambieG~ you can also use water.

Hey Egglettes!
Just dropping a line to let you all know I'm still breathing. Things have gotten really busy in my corner of the world. I hope to add pics for the last 2 months to the siggy strip soon. I also went a little MORE red. Maybe this time it will actually show up on film. We shall see...

Peace and Blessings to all during this Holiday Season, and Merry CHRISTmas to those who celebrate it!

Hmmm...Almond milk sounds good.
And I need all the calories I can get. LOL

 

[amwcah]

After dipping and dabbing in this thread for a year, I'm happy to say that I had my first cocktail today!! I slurped on the recipe posted in page 1 by Br*nze. I hope I reap all the positive benefits that you ladies have mentioned.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Welcome Egglette Amwcah to our Nest!

Glad to have you! Keep us posted on your progress.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Essensual!!! You are growing fine, Chica! Your updates are always inspiring. Thanks for being so consistent!! Missed ya and I hope all is well with you and yours.

 

[Mz.Shug]

Could we start a 2010 challenge? I'd love to bring in the new year with this shake. I think that a challenge would keep everyone on track and before and after pics would help spread the recipe.

P.S. I keep trying to read through this thread but it's suuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr long.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

^I'll see what I can do...so far, everyone pretty much goes at it on their own...we'll see...

 

[Okay]

I just cocktailed with:

Almond milk
Two tablespoons of hemp protein powder
wheat germ oil
wheat germ raw

and it tasted really really bad!!
i had to fight not to go throw up..

hmm.. help ladies

 

[Pooks]

Today's shake:

1 egg
3 broccoli florets
1 pear
1 golden kiwi
Small handful spinach
1 tbsp WG oil
1 tbsp WG
1 tbsp flaxseed
Rice milk
Apple juice

I didn't measure any of the liquids, but this was enough for me and my Mum.

How about adding some fresh fruit? Maybe that will take some of the edge off.

 

[Okay]

^^ yeah that might help.. also i didnt blend just mixed.. so maybe if i blend it with banana or something?

 

[Pooks]

A banana or another fresh fruit as well as blending instead of mixing will make the world of difference Try your shake with whatever fruit is easily available, experiment! Leave orange juice out though, I'm sure I remember earlier in the thread that OJ (as well as caffeine) could stop the shake being as effective when taken along with it or too near to it.

 

[kayte]

do it do it do it do it

I echo the chorus of those wanting a 2010 challenge!!!
Pretty please?
I love all the variations and we could so support each other to keep on drinking on
Doing it on the daily..or whenever..and we could use the thread to check in
and keep a before and after..or monthly hair photo journal..
OP..didn't you even have a date to buy the items and a list as well?

Btw
the book is available on Amazon
here are some of the comments
from Amazon

I've had this book for almost 20 years, and I learned alot from it. I still refer back to it now and then. The natural health industry was way ahead of the medical community. Doctors used to scoff at things that they now recommend. Lots of valuable tips in here.

I had this book back in the mid to late 70's when it was new. I found all sorts of helpful information that I still use, and recomment to others. When we went to Mexico City on vacation, somehow, the book was lost. Finally was able to fine a copy in our local library, and copied the formula for the "Hair Cocktail," which is wonderful for growing new hair for those of us who may have thinning hair, The information on skin care is great. I'm sure that a bit of updating would be benificial now, but I highly recommend the book to everyone.

I had Ms. Crenshaw's book back in the 70s. I loved her personal experience presentation and learned a lot from her book, as well. I have used many, many of the things she tried and recommended. There was also a picture on her book of her. She is a charming, you-and-me kind of lady. She was very attractive and you could see some of the effects of what she was doing working very well for her. They worked very well for me, too. I lent the book out and never got it back. I have thought about it from time to time all these years and would love to have it again. It contains priceless information we really need to know. For example, the reason I am at this site now is in my search through all sorts of medical sites I cannot find the correct proportion of B vitamins to one another. Then I remembered it was in her book and here I am. THis book is part of the "roots" of those of us who read it. It is timeless, and as useful today as it was thirty years ago. I heartily recommend this book. In addition, most of the issues she addressed and procedures she recommended for different things utilize items that are not expensive or name brand anything. Vinegar, water, vitamins, etc. I could go on and on about this terrific book, but I think you would enjoy it more yourself. Have fun!

THANKS OP!

A long time ago raw eggs were cool , today we know about salmonella poisoning. The eggs are primarily for protein, you could eat them other ways or get extra protein other ways. The wheat Germ is high in B complex Vitamins, thats what its known most for. you could take a good B complex supplement as well

Be careful mama , dont want you sick for trying something that could harm you

funny you said 7 times, you know I lost half my hair when I was sick, and I swear it grew back SO fast and thicker than ever, I believe it was God and I never even thought about the 7 times thing God is good!

I hear on learning appreciation, he has a way of opening the hearts and eyes of his children

anyway, be careful with this , with the raw eggs and all

I know this quote was almost two years ago
and I respect the caution in it and
everyone makes their own decisions
but two things that I remember

1..Every year a zillion people drink quarts
of eggnog...no one as far as the news
has died or gotten poisoning from eggnog
which is essentially a raw egg beverage...
....I've had it nearly every year since as a child......it's decades later
& here I am

2. there are now eggs that are made especially with Omega 3 added to them and carefully monitored conditions to prevent salmonella

I love OP's testimony to the Lord...
every good gift comes from HIM

 

[Mz.Shug]

Ladies where do you buy your wheat germ from? I've found the oil but not just the wheat germ.

 

[Pooks]

^^Search on iherb.com, that's where I got mine, and it's the raw kind

 

[Mz.Shug]

Thanks a bunch!

 

[Pooks]

No problem

[Lita]

I drink Emerald Balance its doing wonders for my health (super foods) I mix it with grape juice.
If it does anything for my hair we will see....



Happy Hair Growing!

 

[amwcah]

This morning I had:

1 egg(Omega 3)
2 tbsp wheat germ
1 tbsp wheat germ oil
1 tbsp lecithin
1 tbsp flaxseed oil
3/4 c fat free milk
1/2 banana
1/2 c frozen strawberries

It was sooo delicious like a fruit smoothie. Tomorrow I will add some spinach perhaps. How many of these are you ladies drinking per day?

 

[Pooks]

I do one egg shake per day, and sometimes a green eggless smoothie for dinner, some people have WL shakes 2ce a day though, some more ladies will chime in
