I have a juicer that I bought many years ago. Mainly stays in the cabinet!

LOL I think it is a pain to use. You have to buy a good amount of veggies

to get lots of juice. Might as well juice up enough for the next day also

while you are at it. I hated to see all that " fiber " going to down the

garbage dispo and only get a small amount of juice. It is a good thing to

do if you are not going to eat veggies and if you don't mind all the work

and mess involved with this. I also didn't really like the taste of this.

Adding apples made it better, but then you have all those calories and

natural sugar from the apple juice!

Yes, it's good. It helped me a lot years ago. He outlines specific things to do

along with the juice fasting. It's hard, time-consuming work tho...not for

wimps.

Raw beets & their tops add iron. The green tops add oxygen. But ya can't use too

much beet juice or tops because they cause diarrhea then. They're sweetening for

the other juices too. Sugar is made from beets. It's the best kind...beet sugar.

To a large juice recipe, add only l/4 or less beet & only a leaf or two of the

top.

Most leafy greens add lots of oxygen-dense nutrients & minerals including iron

because of their chlorophyll content. Especially parsley, spinach, kale, swiss

chards, mustard greens, dandelion greens, etc.

Spinach has the most iron of all. Even popeye said so. lol!

I figure he was called popeye because he was hyperT from too much

spinach...<chuckle>

Spinach tastes the best to me. The others are too bitter. I used to juice a

whole bunch of spinach with carrots, celery & parsley & that tasted good to me

if drunk the same day. I used one entire bunch of celery & an equal amount of

carrots plus one entire bunch of spinach. This was the best combination for me

for years. There's lots of iron in spinach too as well as oxygen/chlorophyll

from the dark green leaves. I'll write more on that in my next email.

You have to adjust the amounts of each veggie to suit your own taste tho.

Experiment with small amounts of each first. I usually used way more carrots for

sweetening in the beginning & gradually reduced those as the taste adjusts

because carrots have too much sugar in them actually. Tho they're very healing

otherwise.

This is a basic, simple healing thing to know:

The human & animal body throws off carbon dioxide. Plants & trees ingest it &

turn it into oxygen, vitamins & minerals which humans/animals then inhale & help

us heal & thrive. Humans are basically herbivores/vegetarians

like some animals are: horses, cows, pigs, etc. We don't have the stomach or

teeth structure to be carnivores at all so shouldn't be eating meats too much,

if at all.

So it's a complimentary process. We need more oxygen & to get rid of our carbon

monoxide. Green plants & clean air mostly near a fresh water supply (ocean,

lakes, rivers)

with lots of life force in it from negative ions provide us with the necesssay

oxygen that our makes our bodies more alkaline & thus more balanced/healthy. We

couldn't live without it.

Cooked veggies have little or no nutrients in them so they cause the body to

acidiy/toxify which causes disease & imbalances. But the broth they're cooked in

has a bit more nutrients so is good to drink or use for lightly/quickly cooked

soups or meatless.

Everytime we heat veggies they lose their nutrition & cause acid/toxins in the

body which doesn't always mean we get acid indigestion either. Acids in the body

are toxic/

poisonous many other ways as they remain in the deepest tissues & in the bowels.

Steamed just to nearly warming but not cooked thoroughly to softness or stir

fried quickly so still crunchy also is the best way to eat cooked veggies to

keep the nutrients intact.

Otherwise cooked veggies cause too much acid in the body because all the enzymes

& nutrients are lost. Tho they're better for us even that way than are processed

foods or meats. Tho some of us, depending on genetics/body types from thousands

of years of human degeneration from our original Garden of Eden vegetarianim,

need meats so organic meats & poultry are the only good choice then. Protein is

in meat, yes. But there's plenty of protein in many veggies too.

It's the enzymes from the mostly or totally raw or juiced veggies that is the

most beneficial actually aside from the intact vitamins/minerals/proteins in raw

veggies & fruits.

Another way to sweeten up veggie juices by themselves without any fruit added to

them is to add Stevia to the juice. Stevia is a natural sweetener but isn't like

sugar that harms the body & cooks the blood. Stevia is even healing for the

body. It comes from a rain forest tree if my memory serves me correctly on that.

It can safely be used to sweeten veggie juices or salad dressings or other

things instead of raw or refined sugar, aspartame (dangerous), honey or other

commercial sweeteners. But organic local honey is another good substitute to

sweeten veggie juices too if not too much is used.

From: Jamy

I think any recipes that you have that add iron and oxygen, would be very

grateful to get. I only eat veggies when they are cooked to death!

I know NOTHING about juicers. I've seen mentioned here the Jack LaLanne,

Juiceman, Juiceman Jr., and QVC brands. It would be impossible for me to

know the difference or what features to look for either online or in a

store. HELP! Dr. Mercola has one on his website, but it's almost

$250. I would love to see brand recommendations from people who already

have and use a juicer.

From my experience - I have used juicers - sometimes regularly -

somethimes sporadically since I was a teenager (I'm 52 now)

The last juicer I purchased was not expensive - and I am very happy

with it. I had to order it online - there are many sites. It is made

by L'Equip. I bought the smaller version (model 110). It sells for

about $100.00. It is very easy to use, clean up, and reassemble. It

produces very dry pulp for things like carrots. One thing I really

like is that it is not white. The advantage of that is it doesn't

stain. It has a stainless steel bowl, large motor and the longest

warranty for the price.

I had a Juiceman prior to that - I would not buy that model again. It

did not last long and it stained badly.

I have not tried the Jack LaLanne model - but Breville makes one that

has similar features - but the Breville model is black (a definite

advantage) and the Breville model has a larger motor.

I hope this helps a bit.

Yes you do have to be determined & dedicated to use it several times a week at

least. Also to adjust the taste with different mixes. A person can live on

juices alone. After a 3-day fast on only juices, mostly veggies, & water, one

can feel way more energized & healed.

From: JAMY

I have a feeling for me the 2 big issues are going to be to make myself use

and make it so I like the taste.

I've bought only 3 juicers in my life since beginning to use them about 20 years

ago. I wore the first two out & still using my 3rd one which is cracked a bit

but still running. I just put masking tape on it & it works fine.

I purchased them all at Sears for about $50 or less. They work wonderfully well

& easy/fast to take apart & clean. But the cleaning of them is always a nuisance

of course. As is the washing, peeling, cutting the veggies & fruits.

It's all a royal pain for me anymore. So I hardly do it much at all nowdays.

Wish I had a husband to do it for me as I've done it for my husbands in the

past.

Who am I kidding? What I really need is a wife to do it for me. What are my

chances?? LOL!
