[Guest guest]

Saw someone buying three pomegranates the other day and wondered what they were

going to do with

them... How do you get the juice out of them??

Maybe the reward has just increased.

They are a lot of work. Good to eat while watching TV with a towel on your lap. Like blue crabs they take work..

BTW went to a PCa meeting recently where they gave away pomegranate juice manufactured by POM. It says on the label that it is 100% juice. I normally do not post links to websites like theirs but you might be interested. http://www.pomwonderful.com/

I do not have any interest in the company.

Get a bottle of Grenadine, named from the French word for the Pomegranate. They do look like grenades hence the name, also in Spanish, Grenada. Make yourself a cocktail with it and sit back and wait. After all this disease is not like having a tooth pulled for an instant cure to tooth decay:>) I am still waiting for my Cryo to kick in.

Kathy,

I have located Pom Pomegranite Juice at Walmart in the same section with fresh vegetables & fruits, and the bottle price is less expensive than ordering off the website, because of shipping costs associated with heavy bottles of liquid Pomegranate Juice.

I suppose no one will buy it now that they know it can be easily gotten at a low price.RJ wrote:
