Juicing

[Guest guest]

Hi Leonard!

I have passed your email along to my friend's son. I must tell you

that I also found it very informative and helpful for myself, as I

just started seriously juicing this week. My friend's situation has

sort of awakened me from my own slumber. Last year in October and

November I started juicing, but by December I was into chocolates and

Christmas baking. (...and I thought I was doing poorly in October and

November! ;-) LOL Anyway, I am seriously working on juicing now.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes, what do you think of V-8 juice? I saw V-8 juice mentioned and

it sure would help, because I find this juicing very draining of my

limited energy.

Kind regards,

Trudy

My impression is that 4 8oz glasses of carrot juice is the most

common quantity of carrot juice used.

I can't make any recommendations specifically for your friend. Below

is some general info on juicing for cancer patients:

Vegetable Juicing

A major component of Gerson therapy is fresh-pressed carrot and

green-leaf juices containing romaine lettuce, watercress, escarole,

endive, red cabbage, beet tops (young inner leaves), swiss chard &

spinach. I'd also juice broccoli sprouts and mung bean sprouts (Please

note that much of my info is copied from Moonbeam). Beet

juice also have powerful cancer-healing effects; however, there's a

controversy over its use because of its high sugar content and

glycemic index. Accordingly, I would juice only a few beets at a time,

mixed w/other (preferably green) vegetables (This last

sentence also applies to carrots, as well as beets).

Fruit Juicing-- Gerson therapy also includes the drinking of organic

(green) APPLE (20oz/day) and ORANGE (8oz/day) juice (note: Tangeretin,

bioflavanoid in oranges, may interfere w/tamoxifen). I would juice

lemon and lime together w/the orange. I would also juice KIWI and

green/unripe PAPAYA (particularly for their proteolytic enzymes), as

well as a few organic grapes (Grape juice is reportedly effective

w/lung & prostate cancer and leukemia, but only juice a few grapes at

a time considering their high sugar content). Some recommend juicing

organic unpeeled pineapple (for its bromelain), including its stem,

but (erring on the side of caution) I wouldn't (primarily because of

pineapple's high glycemic index) but instead would take high dosages

of

bromelain supplements, ideally Wobenzyme.

CAUTIONS: Fresh-pressed juice strongly detoxifies the body, but this

results in an accumulation of toxins in the liver. Accordingly, if

you drink large amounts of fresh-pressed juice, it is critical to also

DETOXIFY THE LIVER. Coffee enemas are the standard and most powerful

liver detox method and are used by many alt. cancer

practitioners, but I would consult a health practitioner before using

them. Joyce has posted some excellent info re: liver detox. Beet juice

and certain herbs and homeopathic remedies also help flush/detoxify

the liver, but I don't know if they're sufficient for someone drinking

large amounts of fresh-pressed juice. Milk thistle helps protect the

liver, and I would definitely use it too.

Best wishes,

Leonard

Rhonda,

What is juicing? Never heard anything like that. If it is herbal I wouldn't even consider it. It is best to follow your doctors advice and treatment. I have never heard of anyone having miracles while using herbs. I can't help but think it is the power of suggestion that helps people. I use to have a TV show I shot in the metaphysical stores all the time. I shot in the Springs the fares they put on. And while trusting in a spiritual way I still never talked of miracles. I just don't want to see any of you hurt, looking for an alternate way to heal yourself is not there let your doctors care for you. We know their treatments work because it has been positively proven. There is no studies done for herbs.

Gayle:

Juicing is taking your fruits and/or vegetables and putting them in

a " juicer " it extracts the juice (vitamins and minerals) from the

source to make it easier to digest. You don't cook out the vitamins,

but get the vitamins by drinking it rather than eating it. Since, we

have trouble digesting some foods. Like drinking cranberry or orange

juice rather than eating cranberries or oranges. You do this with

fruits and vegetables, like spinach and carrats, etc. I might be

wrong, but I don't believe there to be an herbal context to this,

unless you added it yourself.

Thanks,

Rhonda/TN

years ago i used to fast on water and juice using a juicer. when i

came back from the hospital last fall i made vegetable juice once a

day for months. it made me feel like i was doing something positive

for myself. i used such foods as parsley, carrots, apples, celery,

etc. there are books out on what foods go together. best to use

organice and if you can't, best not to use the peels...i don't think

it is a miracle thing, but if you don't add anything besides the

fruits or vegetables i can't imagine how it could hurt anyone. kathy

Kathy:

I was just thinking about adding it to my diet for extra nutrition.

I know I don't eat what I should, and it sounded so nutritious and

logical, but just wanted some input. Thank you for your other reply

with your experience. That really helped. But I'm frightened of

apples...I love them too much. I got over excited about them several

years ago, and ate six in one day and had to be taken to the

hospital. (Too much fiber...LOL)

I've never been a fan of spinach, but maybe juice is another matter

altogether? You know thinking about it and actually doing it are two

different things. I would have to actually buy a juicer and then

look up recipes and then buy produce and then make it....I'm tired

just thinking about it! LOL

Thanks again,

Rhonda

Dear Maureen,

I haven't had much luck with fasting, though I do try different types of fasts.

As soon as my blood sugar drops, I begin to disappear into absence seizures, and

I frighten everyone around me. My most severe seizures have been when I have

had low or no calorie intake, whether voluntarily or un-voluntarily.

Having said that, I have learned that there are ways to gain the benefits of

fasting without wreaking havoc with my body. Sometimes I eliminate meat

(dangerous for blood type O) for a short period of time to help my body cleanse

itself. Giving up simplified sugars, starches, night-shade vegetables, fruits

or other types of foods for a while sometimes helps me. I try to focus on one

food or food group, rather than giving up all food. (In truth, I rarely eat

simplified sugars or starches because they create an unhealthy dynamic for me.)

Personally, I have learned never to go without some type of caloric intake,

though I know many other people who thrive on fasting. Along with any type of

" fast " I undertake, I also make sure I'm drinking plenty of water.

It sounds to me like you have a good handle on your fasting, though, by taking

it slow. You are obviously being much wiser than I was when I started on this

journey!

Regarding the juicer, I have a minor comment. When I use my JuiceMan juicer, I

save the fiber gleened from the fruits and or veggies, and use it to make bread,

or even cakes. One experimental recipe included zucchini, carrots, apples,

strawberries, oranges and some other vegetables (spinach didn't work well in

this recipe). I used almond flour, tapioca flour, potato starch and rice flour,

threw in some raisins and nuts, and " Viola!, " I had a very nice, moist, carrot

cake without sugar or wheat. My family even liked it!

I hope my comments are helpful to you!

Best wishes,

Carrol

I don't remember who asked this question about bananas...but!

I am doing the same and in my book, " juice fasting and

detoxification, " the author says which fruits to AVOID - as they are

non-juicable. They are WONDERFUL fruits, but non-juicable.

They are papaya, coconut, banana, strawberry, cantalope,

honeydew, peach, plum/prune, apricot and avocado =( my

favorite. If you are really into juice FASTING, for a few days...to

even a month, explains of the benefits, things to avoid, the before

and after of a juicing...etc. My question to all is: I am a bit

nervous going into this because of the meds I take (felbatol,

lamictol). This morning, I began my first fasting. I was excited

and I felt my health was on the way. Sitting there drinking my

carrot and plum juice, I stared at my drugs, had my typical

morning seizure.. (petit mal...staring into lala land..)and when I

came back, I thought, oh man! How will my organs feel about

this? So, I am in the SLOW process of detoxification. I think

doing this will help my energy boost, as well, it will get me ready

to find the proper diet to avoid seizures. BUT, I the drugs with

lack of proper foods, will make my system go bonkers. My goal

is to slowly drop these meds forever! However, I am nervous.

Any input?

[Guest guest]

Carrots and apples combined is a good start to get you used to it, also cantalope, watermelon, cucumber, zuccini, kale, beets, cabbage, parsely andr combinations of those. Buy a book with recipes and the properties of the foods.

rheumatic juicing

I like carrots, and apples. A little celery as the taste can be quite strong, broccoli stems, and some ginger for a little zing if you like. It's delicious, to me.HTHTo unsubscribe, email: rheumatic-unsubscribeegroups

I avoid drinking juices. Juices affect me like any other refined

carbohydrate. I gave them up many years ago and find that I feel a

lot better for having done so.

And I don't trust much of anything that or Greg Null says.

Dear ,

Recently I received a link to info about juicing on the Mercola site. I felt

inspired by the encouragement in that piece to think about juicing again.

However, Mercola said you should eat the pulp, too, mixing it back in with

25% of the reserved juice. I didn't want to spend the time juicing if I had

to add back the pulp I just decided to blend freshe greens together into a

breakfast smoothie; I'm liking it so far! I puree fresh celery, greens that

aren't goitrogens, parsely, and a cup of non-sweetened pineapple juice

together in a blender. Then I add about a teaspoon of spirulina, a couple of

tablespoons of rice protein powder shake, and a couple of tablespoons flax

seed I've just ground in an old coffee grinder.

I started this because my liver has been giving me a lot of pain this past

year and I reasoned the greens would help me with that specific problem. The

liver pain has decreased over the past two weeks. Also, the ground flax seed

seems to be helping my skin feel softer and the other greens and spirulina

give me a little more energy. I don't fall asleep on the couch until about

9:30 p.m. For awhile, I was a goner about 8 p.m. if I sat down!

I tried doing just the juice, spirulina, and flax meal alone but the old low

blood sugar swing started in about mid-morning. Adding the protein powder

has made this tolerable for me again and my brain keeps humming through until

lunch. I picked the pineapple juice because it's supposed to be beneficial

for blood type O. Same with the parsley. The D'Adamo guy who wrote the

Blood Type diet book insists spinach has important elements in it for thyroid

balance, so even though I've seen it on lists of goitrogens, I put a few in

that drink every two or three days. I haven't noticed any increased pain in

my thyroid since I've started that, in fact, my thyroid pain may have

diminished a little.

Best health,

in LA

[Guest guest]

other greens and spirulina

give me a little more energy.

- I may be wrong but I thought I read that spirulina was bad for

thyroid sufferers. I'm not positive though. You seem so in tuned with your

body - that's great!!

Dear ,

Well, I've never heard that before. So far, it seems to be working for me.

I don't take the recommended amount; I only use 1-2 tsp. I'll let you know

if I begin to experience untoward symptoms!

Thanks for the warning,

[Guest guest]

Isn’t spirulina a form of algae? I used Klamath Lake Blue-Green Algae

for about 2 weeks and had obvious symptoms (bloating, itching, etc) and

have since seen in _Live Right for Your Type_ (Dr. D’Adamo) that it is

an avoid food for O blood types. You might try leaving it out of your

shakes for a couple of weeks then adding it back in to see how you feel.

Sometimes we don’t realize something makes us feel bad until we

reintroduce it in our diet.

It doesn’t take much yeast or algae to affect you either. 1 – 2 tsp is

a lot.

Hope this helps!

Any auggested receipes for starting out in juicing please???

[Guest guest]

Have any of you folks tried making your own vegetable " juice " ? I have

heard it is a wonderful way of obtaining a lot of the nutrients we need. .

..I am investigating and was wondering if anyone out there has had any

success.

:

yes, I got the Jack LaLanne juicer for Christmas and love it.

You can make fruit juices, vegetables juices or combine fruit and juice.

Just try and have carrot juice, or cucumbers and celery....anything

works great. You just can't use bananas in them as they are too soft.

It is a very good investment.

raw cream...right.

like that is everywhere

:-)

juicing

The key with juicing is to use some carrot and beet, but then do the

remainder with low-glycemic vegetables. If I am remembering right,

Sally Fallon suggests adding a tablespoon of raw cream to the juice.

This slows down the blood sugar spike, and also enhances the

absorption of the nutrients in the vegetable juice.

[Guest guest]

hehe, thanks, i'm busting your chops....

;-)

Re: juicing

raw cream...right.

like that is everywhere

:-)

You're right. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking when I wrote that.

Actually, Sally Fallon says you can use regular cream from the store,

just not to use the ultra-pasteurized kind. I did check at our

grocery store here (Minnesota) and they had regular whipping cream,

and then the ultra-pasteurized kind. At the health food store, all

the organic cream says ultra-pasteurized. I wonder why that is?

Anyway, I'm sure that regular cream would also do the trick. (-:

[Guest guest]

Eve,

Charlotte Gerson, Dr. Gerson daughter, is still alive and active on the

lecture circuit regarding the Gerson Protocol, and she has a book out. She

is 81. She feels that there are juices that are more easily digested or

absorbed by humans than wheat grass which is more suited to a bovine four

stomach digestive process. She recommends things like cabbage juice

instead of wheat grass.

Just my two cents. I wouldn't mind seeing a discussion on this for

everyone's edification.

Also, would anyone have any knowledge as to whether or not fruits should be

avoided? I was under the impression that table suger was bad being half

glucose and easily absorbed through the stomach lining, thus spiking your

suger level and feeding the cancer. But I thought fruits were OK as most of

them contain fructose which has to be processed by the liver to turn it into

glucose, thus releasing the glucose in a more controlled manner.

Any one know anything along these lines?

~~~Syd, if you can get a copy of Quillin's latest book (or

even the one before it), these questions can be answered for you.

He was on staff at Cancer Centers of America in Tulsa for a long

time. I have two of his books and they have been invaluable to me.

The new one has a CD tucked into a pocket of the back cover for

those who feel too ill to read. I haven't read it, but reading the

first one of his gave me a peace about what I should do at a time

when I was so worried and confused.

I personally would avoid eating much fruit (especially bananas and

the sweeter fruits), as people with cancer most often have

fungus/candida overgrowth and sugars of all kinds (except for the

glyconutrient sugars, I guess) will feed these organisms. Dr.

Quillin's book also addresses this subject, I'm pretty sure. I

purchased and read two of Dr. Wm Crook's books which helped educate

me on the subject of yeast overgrowth and chronic illnesses.

Good luck to you,

bg

Eve...thank you so much for the wheatgrass information. I didn't realize that it

could be so easily grown. Thanks again.

As for growing wheatgrass, I don't have any fancy equipment. I use

shallow square trays that I bought at the plant store which are made to

go under square pots. They don't have to be more than an inch deep. I

soak the wheatberries and then lay them one seed thick on the flats,

which are filled with soil. Cover for several days, then uncover and

expose to indirect light. Water, but not too much. If there is some

mold, it's ok - just cut above the mold with scissors when you harvest.

Look online for more detailed info about growing - it's not hard! I

can buy wheatberries in bulk at my co-op - they are also available

on-line - do a search for wheatgrass.

Hi,

Here is some information on juicing vegetables. It's a great guide with the

values of different vegetables.

Vegetable Juice Guide

by

Ron Lagerquist

Beets 

Famous for their ability to cleanse the blood, beets contain calcium,

sulfur, iron, potassium, choline, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.  Beets are

also high in minerals that strengthen the liver and gall bladder, and are

the building blocks for blood corpuscles and cells.  Beet greens are

excellent for salads and juicing.  Beet greens are a good source of

carotenoids that help in the prevention of all types of cancers.  They are

high in manganese, an important mineral for brain function. 

Beet juice is very concentrated.  Do not drink it alone.  Dilute with a

milder juice such as carrot or apple.  Beet juice has been proven

therapeutic in the treatment of leukemia and cancer.  In a clinical trial,

twenty-two patients with advanced inoperable cancers were given 10 oz. of

beet juice daily for 3 to 4 months.  Twenty-one of these patients showed

marked improvement in health.

Beets cause the stool to turn red and may give the urine a reddish tinge. 

When juicing beets, alternate between pieces of beets and pieces of carrots

otherwise the beet pulp tends to build up on the side of the spinning

extraction basket and causes the juicer to vibrate.

Lactofermented beet juice is fermented with lacto bacillus, making it

sweeter.  On a juice fast, this delicious juice is like a bottle of

Champagne.

Purchase firm, rock-hard beets.  Being a root, they can be stored for months

in the refrigerator.  

Broccoli  

Broccoli is a flower top picked before it blooms.  It is dense in nutrition,

full of beta-carotene and an excellent source of fiber.  Inexpensive and

available all year round.  It is full of vitamins B1 and C, and has a

generous amount of calcium, sulfur, and potassium.  Surprisingly, forty-five

percent of calories in broccoli are protein.

The National Cancer Institute discovered a substance called inderol-3 that

emulsifies estrogen, reducing the risk of breast cancer in women.  Broccoli

is excellent when juiced, stems and all, but like all green vegetables, it

should be mixed with lighter juices such as carrot or apple.

When buying broccoli, look for tight tops with no yellow, firm but not

limp.  Will store well for 5 days in the refrigerator. 

Cabbage 

A vegetable full of history.  It was a mainstay during the great depression

but unfortunately was often overcooked and garnished with fat. 

Cooking cabbage destroys most of its nutritious value and causes gas because

of the sulfur.  Raw cabbage is an excellent source of beta-carotene, sulfur,

vitamin C and the trace mineral selenium, which is excellent for fighting

cancer, protecting against heart disease, improving conditions of arthritis,

slowing the aging process, encouraging beautiful skin and increasing male

potency.  Within cabbage is a delicate amino acid called glutamine.  This is

excellent for healing stomach disorders, including ulcers.  When making

cabbage juice, it must be consumed within 60 seconds or this precious amino

acid will begin to decay.  If straight cabbage juice causes gas, mix with

carrot and celery.

Will keep up to two weeks in the refrigerator. 

Carrots  

Deep within the soils of the earth grows a golden root that has amazed

nutritionists and scientists alike in its powerful healing qualities.  One

8-oz. glass of carrot juice contains 20,000 mg. of vitamin A.  Toxicity can

occur when vitamin A is taken in supplement form or in fish oil, but is

completely safe in the vegetable form.  Vitamin A is an antioxidant that is

able to attach to free radicals in the body.  The damaging effect of free

radicals has been associated with cancer. 

Carrots are a natural blast of high energy.  The sugars are released more

quickly than from white sugar but without the harmful effects.  A mug of

carrot juice in the morning will give you a competitive edge over coffee

drinkers.  Like all root vegetables, they are packed with minerals.  Carrots

are rich in organic calcium that is invaluable to bones and teeth. 

Inorganic calcium is almost useless to the body.  The calcium in milk and

white bread is inorganic and known to cause arthritis and gallstones. 

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin C, including most of the B

complex, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and sodium.  Carrots are easy to

digest and cause the liver to release bile and excessive accumulated

cholesterol.  They also have an alkalizing effect on the blood, soothing the

entire nervous system and toning intestinal walls.  Carrot juice is the best

base for vegetable juice combinations.  It is delicious, sweet and readily

accepted by children.  Our family can go through a 50-lb. bag every two

weeks. 

Carrot juice is considered the golden juice of healing.  Even drinking a few

glasses a day has healed many infirmities without fasting.  During fasting,

its healing effect is increased.  Carrot juice helps in cleansing the

liver.  Drinking large amounts may cause the harmless effect of a slight

yellowish color of the skin.  Skin will feel velvety soft.  The

beta-carotene present in the skin is a natural protector for the common skin

cancer, melanoma.  Also, the slight yellowing of the skin can make a tan

look deeper.

Juicing two to five pounds of carrots a day is standard for juice fasting. 

Unless carrots are fresh, the juice tastes better if they are peeled.  If

you don't have the time to peel them, put the carrots in the sink and scrub

with a brush.  In purchasing carrots for juicing, your local vegetable

wholesaler can supply you with large juicing carrots in 50 lb. bags at an

affordable price.  Carrots should be firm, smooth-skinned, without cracks or

small rootlets.  The brighter the orange color, the sweeter the carrots. 

They will keep for weeks in the refrigerator and months in a root cellar.   

Celery 

Celery is high in magnesium, iron and chlorophyll, which is an excellent

blood builder and is one of the richest sources of organic sodium. 

Excellent for those who enjoy vigorous workouts, maintaining valuable body

fluid and electrolytes.  

Celery juice is a superb nerve tonic.  Celery juice alone tastes a little

bitter and is usually mixed with carrots or apples. 

Great for adding a salty taste to vegetable juices.  Do you have a

headache?  Drink a glass of celery juice.  Even the ancient Greeks used

celery for the universal problem of headaches.  Do you live in the

air-polluted inner city?  Celery/apple juice is able to cleanse the body of

carbon dioxide.  Were you thinking of buying an air conditioner?  Celery

juice cools down the body and is great for hot weather.  Are you on a diet

and craving a Snickers bar?  Celery juice helps curb the craving for

sweets.  Do you have a problem with muscle cramps and fatigue during

workouts?  The potassium/sodium balance in celery juice will be a great

asset.  Always leave the celery leaves on for juicing, but juice the celery

last because it is stringy and clogs the juice machine.

Look for firm, solid stocks with bright green leaves.  

Cucumber 

Being as cool as a cucumber comes from the fact that the internal

temperature of cucumbers remains 20 degrees lower than the external

temperature on a hot day.  People living in the Middle East and India have

been eating cucumbers for hundreds of years as a natural coolant.  When

buying cucumber for juicing, look for non-waxed which allows you to juice

the cucumber in its skin.  Always wash vegetables thoroughly before

juicing.  This juice contains 40% potassium, 10% sodium, 7% calcium, 20%

phosphorus and 7% choline.  It is an excellent source of silicon.  Cucumber

is good to rub on your skin, giving it elasticity resulting in a more

youthful complexion.  It is suspected to help in reducing hair loss. 

Cucumber juice is usually mixed with other juices.

Look for firm cucumbers with a dark green, wrinkle-free skin.  Will store in

refrigerator for 6 days.   

Collards

Per calorie, collards have more calcium than milk.  Thirty calories of

collards equaling one cup, contains an incredible 218 grams of calcium!  It

is twice as high in vitamin A as carrots.  An excellent source of organic,

highly absorbable iron, and high in chlorophyll.

Look for crisp leaves, free from wilting and without spots.  

Fennel 

If you enjoy the taste of liquorice you will love fennel.  This unusual

vegetable looks like a fat celery plant with feathers.  In fact, it is in

the celery family and has much of the same nutritional qualities.  Its

distinct flavor really spices up a juice or salad.  Some have found fennel

juice good for relieving migraine headaches and overcoming night blindness. 

Look for a white, solid bulb with healthy leaves.  Will keep in the

refrigerator for one week.  

Garlic 

There are entire books written about the curative abilities of garlic. 

Research suggests that it reduces blood pressure, helps with the problem of

blood clotting, lowers the LDL (which increases bad cholesterol), boosts the

immune system and encourages recovery in heart attack victims.  Garlic's

famous smell comes from allicin, which inhibits bacterial growth and

fungus.  It also helps with an overgrowth of yeast in the body and is used

in treating candida.  Therefore, do not use odorless garlic pills.  If they

don't smell, they don¹t work. 

Garlic increases the flow of digestive enzymes and encourages detoxification

through the skin.  Despite the odor, garlic is good for you.  Throwing a

clove of garlic in your vegetable juice every day will be excellent for your

health; nonetheless, it may reduce your social life.  One clove in the

juicer is enough.  Five cloves will encourage a life of solitude, unless you

can educate all your friends, family and people within a thirty-foot radius

of the incredible properties of fresh raw garlic juice! 

Ginger Root 

If you feel a cold coming on, or if you have a bout of laryngitis, juicing a

small piece of gingerroot with your carrots is a perfect solution.  Great

for making ginger tea or spicing up herbal tea.  For ginger tea, throw

slices in boiling water to taste.   

Kale 

Has a similar nutritional quality to its close relative the cabbage.  Kale

is an excellent source of calcium.  Look for solid, deep green leaves. Will

store in refrigerator for 5 days. 

Lettuce  

Iceberg lettuce or head lettuce is useless.  You might as well drink a glass

of water for the same amount of nutritional value.  Conversely, the leaves

of romaine, Boston, Bibb or any leaf lettuce dark green in color will be

rich in chlorophyll.  Good source of sulfur, chlorine, silicon, B complex,

all contributing to hair growth, healthy skin and defense against lung

cancer.  Lettuce is a wonderful addition to any vegetable juice.  Adding any

green, leafy vegetable to juice will add chlorophyll, which immediately

enters the bloodstream.

Leaves should be crisp with no dark spots.  The darker green, the better. 

Onions

Onion is in the garlic family and has many of the same therapeutic

properties.  Their strong flavor is attributed to a natural oil that

strengthens the nervous system and encourages the growth of healthy

bacteria.  Large, Spanish onions are sweeter and milder in flavor, making

them better for juicing. 

Sliced onion added to a juice mixture is excellent in helping to loosen and

rid the body of excess mucus.

Look for firm onions with dry, papery skins.  Do not store onions in the

refrigerator.   

Parsley  

Ancient civilizations have used parsley in medications, on wounds,

poultices, boils, cysts and to draw the pus out of an infected cut.  Parsley

is one of the highest sources of life-giving chlorophyll, which acts like

iron to oxidize the blood.  Chlorophyll will help neutralize the strong odor

of garlic and is used in chewing gum to sweeten breath.  It is a cleanser of

the kidneys, liver, and urinary tract.  Parsley is effective for upset

stomachs by stimulating digestive enzymes.  Excellent for the colon by

encouraging the peristaltic wave in the intestines.

Parsley juice added to vegetable juices will enter directly into the

bloodstream, immediately impacting your body.

Flat and curly parsley has the same nutritional value.  Look for healthy,

dark green leaves.  Parsley can be grown inside and outside the house.  Will

store in the refrigerator for a week.  Always add parsley with other hard

veggies like carrot so it will not affect the juicer.  Parsley alone can be

hard on a juicer.  

Peppers 

Peppers can come in many different colors.  The most common is the green

pepper, an unripe red pepper.  Red peppers are more expensive but sweeter

and higher in vitamin C.  Great for the skin and swelling due to arthritis

because of the high silicon content.  They are an excellent addition to any

vegetable juice.  Juice seeds, stem and all.  Look for smooth, firm,

non-waxed peppers.  Will keep in refrigerator for one week. 

Potato

An excellent source of vitamin C and high in carbohydrates, potassium,

calcium and iron.  The most nutritious part of the potato is the skin. 

During World War I, a group of German soldiers, near starvation, were forced

to live on raw potatoes.  The soldiers with gastric disorders were relieved

and cured.  After the war, Dr. J. F. Magerl began treating gastric patients

with raw potato juice.  After 10 days of the treatment, most of the patients

showed no symptoms. 

Potato juice is a wonderful addition to any vegetable juice.  When potatoes

are juiced, a white silky paste will form on the bottom of the glass.  This

is potato starch and is mucus-forming with little nutritional value.  Of all

the vegetables, potatoes are slightly mucus-forming, but are still a

valuable food, especially when juiced.

Look for potatoes with eyes, revealing the fact that they are alive with

enzymes, ready to sprout, given the opportunity.  They should be firm,

without black spots and with no green color, which can cause a slightly

toxic effect.  Never juice a green potato.  Will keep well in a cool, dry

place for a number of months. 

Radishes 

Radish added to vegetable juice will help clear sinus cavities and calm a

sore throat.  

Spinach 

Never cook spinach.  Oxalic acid is destroyed when heat transforms it into

oxalic acid crystals that are harmful to the kidneys.  It also binds to

iron, making it unabsorbable.  Spinach is important due to its chlorophyll

content, and also supplies an abundance of nutrients such as oxalic acid,

beneficial in the cleansing and healing of the intestinal tract.  Spinach

juice, mixed with other vegetable juices, turns the mixture brown.  Although

it may look unsightly, it is a beautiful sight to the cells of the body.

Finding good spinach can sometimes be difficult.  Look for crisp, dark green

leaves.  Rinse spinach well, removing sand and grit.  Will store in

refrigerator for only a few days, as spinach quickly becomes slimy. 

Sweet Potato (Yam) 

The darker the color, the higher in vitamin content.  Sweet potatoes are one

of the greatest sources of beta-carotene.  They are plenteous in vitamin C,

potassium, carbohydrates, calcium and a good source of fiber.  History has

shown that people can live exclusively on sweet potatoes and remain healthy

and strong.  Carrot and sweet potato juice is tasty and outstanding for

complexion.  Yam can be added to any fruit juice, giving the juice a smooth,

milkshake-like taste.

Look for firm, not too large yams that are tapered at both ends.  Skin

should be smooth without brown spots.  Will store in the refrigerator for

two weeks.  

Tomato 

Tomatoes may feel a little strange in this list because they are in fact, a

fruit.  But we assumed anyone looking for tomatoes would go to the Vegetable

Section, so here they are. 

Providing tomatoes are vine-ripened, they are a high source of vitamin C. 

One tomato is equal to more than 50% of the recommended daily allowance. 

Good source of organic sodium phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium,

malic and oxalic acid and sulfur.

The problem is that most tomatoes found in the supermarkets during the off

season have the quality, taste and vitamin C content of a baseball. 

Vine-ripened tomatoes may cost you a little more because of the difficulty

in shipping, but it is well worth the money in nutritional value. 

It is an absolute must to grow your own succulent, sweet tomatoes.  Even if

you live in an apartment, there are hybrids that have been created

especially for growing in pots.  We have tomato plants growing in every

possible corner around our home.

Tomato juice has a wonderful taste that is quite different from store-bought

juice, which is boiled and stored in cans for months.  The health-giving

acids in tomatoes are beneficial to the body unless heated or canned.

Look for bright red, soft, sweet smelling tomatoes.  They ought to be plump,

heavy and filled with juice.  Always buy from your local farmer, when in

season.  Do not juice green tomatoes that may irritate the kidneys.
