re: juice novice

[Guest guest]

Hi , just have fun, and make the juice taste good so you will drink it

more! I did not follow a book, but I did go to Hippocrates Institute in FL

for 3 weeks,where they serve juice 3 times a day. After that I was hooked! I

find the cucumbers to be a good mild base, and the carrots and red peppers also

give it a good taste. The kale is bitter on its own but is incredibly good

for you if you add a few leaves. So you don't need to follow any recipes, just

make up your own! After a while you will know what you like, and then you

use what is available.

Good luck! Let me know how you do-

Terry

Thanks, Terry - this is what I was looking for, the kinds of things people

are doing. I have a book on juicing, but it seems a little vague. Maybe I'm

feeling a little uncertain here, but I really appreciate having some guidance

from those who have gone before me!

Hi , I have been juicing everyday since I was first diagnosed with BC,

2 1/2 years ago, and is has made a major difference! I can't say it has

cured my cancer, that is another story, but I am doing very well. Here is what

I do- I use 2 cucumbers as a base, then I add a stalk of broccoli, a few

kale leaves, 2-3 celery stalks, 1-2 carrots, and whatever else I have.

Sometimes I vary by adding some red pepper, cabbage, beets, black radish,

burdock,

daikon radish or zucchini. I also usually add some ginger. This makes abt 4

cups. I don't mix fruit in. Basically juice things you like. I used to juice

sprouts- buckwheat, pea and sunflower, which are also very good. Add less

of the stronger things. I don't use any recipes- but all these things are good

for you. Also buy organic if you can. You can get books on juicing that may

tell you more specific things.

Hope this helps,

Terry
