Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Has anyone on the list used Juice Plus? If so, did you ask Dr. G if he thought it was okay? A mom I know has started using it with their child and claims to be seeing good results. It is a product that says it provides nutrition from 17 different fruits and vegetables. It says it is gluten and casein free. The thing that struck my eye was some research they share that was done at the University of AZ. It says the study analyzed if taking it would improve the immune system. After 80 days, researchers found " significant improvements in the immune system componants they measured, including the activity of T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer cells and the levels of cytokines. " Results of this study were published in the jounal Integrative Medicine, 1999. It, like everything else, it not cheap. If anyone has used it, feel free to email me. I would like to hear from some more parents before trying it. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 I'd be interested also. It looks like a good product. The only thing that Dr. G. might not like is the red fruits (cherry), or if any of the children are sensitive to any of the ingredients. Juice Plus Has anyone on the list used Juice Plus?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 I have never heard of it but it sounds interesting. Do you think your friend could find a web site that has info. on this product so we can research it and maybe send a copy to Dr. G.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 The pamphlet I received says the grains used are barley and oats. It also says the products are gluten and dairy free. My friend's son is very sensitive to gluten, so the fact that he does fine with it is reassuring. Other fruits and veggies listed are: apples, oranges, pinapple, cranberries, peacher, acerola cherries, papaya, carrots, spinach, broccoli, kale, cabbage, parsley, beets, tomato Dr. G has told me to watch out for berries. It would make sense that if a child reacted to any of these foods that the Juice Plus should be avoided.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I would think the pineapple, papaya (tropical fruits) and cherries are no-no's, even if the child didn't show up as reactive to those fruits in the allergy testing. Has anyone had any luck with a juicer? Anyone figured out a way to get their kids to drink juiced veggies (since we are limiting fruits)? timary > The pamphlet I received says the grains used are barley and oats.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I just had a phone consult with Dr. G and he said to stay away from tropical fruits and red fruits, so I would have to agree with you on that! I'll just add that the only way I have been able to get vegetables into my son is by going back to baby food. He will eat most of them if I warm them up and add a bit of salt. For the green ones (peas and green beans) I have to be a bit more inventive -- I add Cheerios to them By the way, my NT daughter will not eat vegetables at all. We trick the two of them by making stew with lots of vegetables and meat and then putting it in the blender until it is mush. I think it looks like dog food, but they both eat it and are none the wiser to the fact that they are eating vegetables.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 yes, it says in the literature gluten and caesin free.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 It may comply with GFCF...but it probably doesn't comply with the exclusions for those following the diet.. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Kristy <K@...> Reply- Subject: Re: juice plus Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 03:43:58 -0500 I was told that it complies with GFCF. If he can eat fresh fruits and vegetables, he can have it. It is not a supplement, but a food source. My children are on it and love the chewables. I take it, and if an adult orders for themselves, then you can participate in a children's study on if children who take it get sick less often and get the chewables free with your order.
