No doubt there will be plenty of juicing adventures over here in the near future.
That will be a really useful story john. Please keep updating how things go. I figure starting is the hardest part.

Nice board Eddie! Kind of quiet over here. My wife and I have been looking into juicers for almost two weeks now. As of yesterday, we have purchased a book titled Becoming Raw, which is a reference book which also includes nutritional information, which most the rest we looked at don't have. We'll have to see what the recommended juicers you mentioned have to offer. We mostly want to juice/pulp the sprouts, with Kale, and some fruit so we can make sure we achieve the recommended amounts of leafy vegetable servings a day. It seems too many servings to think in terms of salads and eating fruit. Like you said earlier, we want to supplement, not replace, so a nice glass of juiced produce to go with dinner might work well. We were going to start off using one of our blenders, (we have two Osterizers) and see what is not working, to decide what we need to look into for what we want.
Kale...super healthy!~
Hello board, I see a lot of good folks here that I know from other places.
I am not real big on fruits but if I can find a vegetable juice I like I will report it.

Guide to Juicers
I added this link to an informative post on another board. The Norwalk juicer is recommended for Cancer therapy: it is two stage as it uses a hydraulic press for the pulp. Consumption of juice must be within 20 minutes as the enzymes die over time.
The Gerson Guide to Juicers
http://gerson.org/GersonTherapy/juicers.htm
Cancer cure by fresh vegetables and fruit. You lucky farmers out there. But us common folk can do this at home with just a juice machine and organic vegetables. If you know anyone with a compromised immune system suffering from Cancer, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, MS, high cholesterol, depression and a score of other infirmaries you should pass this information on.
I was attracted to this therapy because of my interest in practicing meditation to accesses my higher self. To do so I had to decalcify my pineal gland (the third eye) of fluoride and heavy metal neurotoxins. I am 67 years old and a "light smoker" ( I am not ready to give up that card yet ) and after nine months I do not have knee problems to climb 6 flights of stairs and do not have morning stiffness getting out of bed. In other words my health improved tremendously but my meditation has not improved a lick. Maybe I should start going to Church.

Reboot with juice
July 11, 2011 5:28 PM
BY MARA KNAUB - SUN STAFF WRITER
http://www.yumasun.com/articles/juice-71382-juicing-cross.html
Learn more about the documentary at www.FatSickAndNearlyDead.com and about juicing at www.JoinTheReboot.com.
Before making the documentary “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” Joe Cross had been a yo-yo dieter for years.
“I put weight on, I lost it and I put it on again,” Cross said.
He described himself as 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease.
“When I turned 40, I realized that I had been all talk and no action for years, saying that some day I would change my life and do something to reclaim the robust health I had enjoyed as a younger man,” the Australian entrepreneur and investor said.
To reclaim his health Cross turned to juice fasting, an experience that inspired him direct and produce “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.”
“Juicing is essentially drinking fruits and vegetables. Juicing offers us many delicious health benefits including a faster, more efficient way to absorb immune boosting nutrients naturally found in fruits and vegetables,” he said.
Some local doctors also agree that juicing is a good way to get nutrients in one glass.
“It's a good alternative in the sense that in one glass of juice you can put in a lot of vegetables. (That's) better than not having any vegetables at all,” said Dr. Margarita Hernandez-Guzman, a local naturopathic physician.
Dr. Carl Myers, a retired oncologist and coordinator of Healthy Yuma 2011, noted that traditional medical literature says very little about juice fasting, but he pointed out that naturopaths have been promoting it for a long time.
He agreed that juicing has many potential benefits, the biggest being: “While they're juicing, they don't eat the regular American diet” of processed foods.
In addition, Myers said, juice is very easily absorbed and gives the digestive system a rest. Some naturopaths say that juicing helps detoxify the body.
“The idea of detoxifying is not well accepted by the medical field,” Myers said. “On the other hand, we get hooked to foods high in fat, high in salt and high in sugar, and fasting can help get rid of the addiction.”
After a fast, individuals can then reintroduce solid, healthy foods. “I recommend it as a way to get away from addicting foods to whole foods, plant based, rather than animal based,” Myers said.
It has “dramatically” helped some people “to have a clean slate,” he added.
But Myers would not recommend any type of fasting if a person is not healthy or for children or those who are on medicine without first checking with their physician.
Hernandez-Guzman recommends juice fasting “only on a case-by-case, depending on the person's health condition.”
She also stressed fasting should only be attempted after an assessment by a physician. As part of the assessment, she conducts blood tests and tries to determine whether a person is sensitive to certain foods.
She also checks a patient's metabolic rate, stress and activity levels and even considers the person's environment (the surrounding temptations).
An assessment is also important in determining whether a person has an eating disorder.
“If they're tending towards anorexia or they have a distorted body image, then this could be an excellent excuse to go to extremes. They won't know when to stop,” she said.
Hernandez-Guzman recommends a fast depending on the person's goals and taste buds, noting that some fasts last 24 hours, a weekend, one week, one month or two months.
“It's very personal, very specific,” she said.
Common goals are weight loss (the most common) and cleansing the body of toxins, but some also want to treat migraines, high-blood pressure, high-blood sugar, fatigue, body pains and for mental clarity.
Some of the ill effects, especially if a person is very toxic, are fogginess, crankiness, being lethargic and skin eruptions. As the body clears out the toxins, these effects will go away, Hernandez-Guzman said.
Ultimately, she said, juicing is considered a radical therapy that can help a person “completely change their eating habits.” It's a good way to “reboot” the system.
It's exactly what moved Joe Cross to start a 60-day juice fast under medical supervision. He left his native Sydney and juiced his way across America. He bought a truck, a juice extractor and a generator to operate it.
“I had been on juice fasts before. They were successful for me and I noticed a real positive impact in terms of nutritional intake and energy when I was on them,” Cross said.
His goal was to get off prescription medicines and find relief for his autoimmune disease that was brought on and made worse by excess weight.
“For me, it was about getting healthy, living without pain and getting off prescription medicines. While juicing, your body gets the vital nutrients it needs and that was an important component for me. I didn't want to just shed weight. I wanted to gain health and wellness,” Cross explained.
He committed to eating only food that was grown on trees or dug out of the ground, foods made by the sun, water and the earth.
“Because I'm an impatient man, I wanted quick results so I decided to only drink these foods for the first 60 days. Not blend -- drink. That means extracting the juice, and separating the fiber from the plant.”
He described the first three days as “brutal.” “But once you get to the other side, you start to feel alive in an entirely new way. During my first couple of ‘reboots,' I experienced headaches and general fatigue the first few days, but now when I reboot it's not really an issue because I juice all the time and eat a heavily plant-based diet –even when I am not rebooting.”
He feels “more energetic, more mobile and more alive,” he said. “The more you juice, the more you crave juicing. Your body begins to like being spoiled and receiving the type of nutrients mother nature intended it to.”
The result? “After 60 days of juice and another 70 days of eating just fruit, vegetables, nuts, beans and seeds, I was 100 pounds lighter and off all medication. I've been that way ever since.”
But the film “Fast, Sick and Nearly Dead” not only chronicles Cross' journey. During his cross-country journey, he talked to more than 500 Americans about food and health.
At a truck stop in Winslow, Ariz., he met a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples was morbidly obese weighing in at 429 pounds. Cross offered his help and the film chronicles Staples' own journey as he recovers his health and loses a massive amount of weight with juicing.

Vegetable Juicing: Building Excellent Health
By Jody Smith July 26, 2010 - 5:28am
http://www.empowher.com/healthy-eating/content/vegetable-juicing-building-excellent-health
Dr. Ben Kim urges one and all to experience vegetable juicing. He says it's a great way to nourish your body with the nutrients you need for excellent health.
Juice from green vegetables will not cause your blood sugar and insulin levels to spike as fruit or vegetables of other colors will. If you major on the green vegetables you can safely incorporate the fruit and other vegetables as well.
"Clearly, organic vegetables are better than non-organic vegetables. But my experiences have led me to believe that the health benefits of drinking juices made with well washed, non-organic vegetables far outweigh not juicing at all. If you are only able to juice non-organic vegetables due to financial or other life circumstances, it’s still well worth your while to do so."
If you're new to the art of juicing, don't be intimidated. Simply cut the vegetables into small enough pieces to go into the juicer, feed them in to the machine and watch the juice stream out. Then sit back and relax, and drink to your health.

Oprah and Friends Share Their Favorite Cold Remedies
http://www.oprah.com/article/food/partyplanning/pkgholiday/200912-omag-cold-remedies

Ancient Greek physicians prescribed garlic. Egyptian herbalists favored licorice. For Oprah, the cold-fighting concoction of choice is the juice of freshly crushed cranberries.
Cranberries are rich in health-boosting antioxidants, including vitamin C and flavonoids (which can act as anti-inflammatories). And fresh cranberry juice offers all its nutrient content with none of the high-fructose corn syrup and other additives found in many store-bought brands.
You can buy fresh cranberries at local markets from October through December. The berries freeze well, so you can thaw them for juicing throughout the year. Eight ounces of berries combined with a pound of red grapes (seeded or seedless; you can also substitute three to four apples for the grapes) make 16 ounces of all-natural, fortifying juice.
What else seems to work against sneezing, sniffling, aches, and pains? We checked in with four of the health experts Oprah trusts most.
"My magic cure is Amazing Grass smoothies. You make them from a powder you can buy at health food stores. It's a blend of different grasses (like wheatgrass) and nutrients that boost the immune system, and you mix it with milk, soy milk, water, whatever. I take it every day, especially during the school year. I have three sons, and when they come home from school they're like human germ balls!"
— Laura Berman, MD
"I always feel better, and get better faster, if I can spend extra time outside. Whether it's because of the fresh air, the boost to my vitamin D levels, or just the psychological benefit, I can't say for sure. But give me a good night's sleep and a hiking trail, and I fear no rhinovirus."
— David L. Katz, MD
"I get 10,000 IU of vitamin D either by lying in the sun for about 15 minutes or by pill. Then I make sure to get one extra hour of sleep."
— Mehmet Oz, MD
"If I am feeling well enough and don't have a fever, I heat up my body as quickly as possible through exercise or a warm bath. Sometimes I sip hot herbal tea while in the bath. More often than not this seems to knock out the bug—the theory is that heat destroys or at least inhibits viruses, which is why when your body detects a virus it elevates your temperature. So you're jump-starting the process, but the key is to do it as soon as you feel any symptoms! Listen to your body so you're aware of symptoms as soon as they appear."
— Bob Greene, personal trainer
And what about swine flu? Keep in mind this holiday swine flu season that drinking too much too fast can weaken your immune system. Researchers at Mississippi State and Louisiana State Universities believe it's because alcohol stops our bodies from producing certain cytokines, compounds that fight disease.

The Incredible Powers of Celery Juice
Friday, October 24, 2008 by: Sheryl Walters, citizen journalist
http://www.naturalnews.com/024596_celery_blood_salt.html
(NaturalNews) Celery juice is highly nutritious and one of the most hydrating foods we can put in our bodies. Because it is incredibly alkalizing, it equalizes the body's PH, which is vital for peak health. In ancient times, it was considered a medicinal herb used to treat a variety of health complaints. The minerals and vitamins and nutrients are in perfect harmony with each other. Celery leaves are high in vitamin A, whilst the stems are an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C and dense in potassium, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and essential amino acids.
This super food also contains important concentrations of plant hormones and the very special essential oils that give celery its characteristic smell. These oils help to regulate the nervous system, and are very calming.
Celery is rich in sodium, which is very different to table salt. Normal table salt is composed of insoluble inorganic compounds which lead to the development of varicose veins, hardening of the arteries and other aliments. If salt, including sea salt is white, then it has been processed and all minerals and nutrients have been destroyed.
On the other hand, the sodium that is available in celery is soluble and organic (live), and is essential for the body. Organic salt allows the body to use the other nutrients that are taken into the body. Every cell in our body is constantly bathed in a salt solution, and if the salt level is not in balance, dehydration occurs. This is why celery juice is a perfect rehydration drink for athletes.
Other Benefits of Celery Juice
Fights Cancer - Celery is known to contain at least eight families of anti-cancer compounds. A study at Rutgers University of New Jersey found that celery contains a number of compounds that help prevent cancer cells from spreading. Celery contains compounds called acetylenics and this compound has been shown to stop the growth of tumor cells. Celery contains other compounds called phonolic acids that block the action of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which encourage the growth of tumor cells. Coumarins, another phytonutrient in celery helps prevent free-radicals from damaging cells and prevent the formation and development of the colon and stomach cancers.
Lowers Cholesterol - Laboratory studies also indicate that butyl phthalide, a chemical in celery, may help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol. According to researchers at the University of Chicago, celery reduces cholesterol levels by as much as 7 points with as little as 2 stalks a day. Celery also aids in increasing bile acid secretion which helps to remove cholesterol from the body.
Aids in Digestion - Special nutrients in the fiber are released during juicing that aid bowel movements. This makes celery a natural laxative that helps to relieve constipation. It also helps relax nerves that have been overworked by man-made laxatives.
Diuretic - The potassium and sodium in celery juice are powerful body fluid regulators that stimulate urine production to help rid the body of excess fluid.
Anti Inflammatory - The polyacetylene in celery is an amazing relief for all inflammation including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, asthma and bronchitis. A study published in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Science U.S.A found that another powerful phytonutrient called luteolin prevents activation of a pathway that allows inflammation in the brain to get switched on. Luteolin also inhibits the excess production of TNF-alpha, a direct cause of inflammation. Juice is the most efficient and nutritious way to eat celery, and people who have these conditions can drink as much juice as desired without overdosing.
Lower blood pressure - Celery's potential for reducing high blood pressure has long been recognized by Chinese medicine. Studies show that drinking celery juice every day for 1 week can significantly help lower blood pressure. A compound called phtalides helps relax the muscles around the arteries, dilating the vessels and allowing blood to flow smoothly. Pthalides also reduce stress hormones, one of whose effects is to cause blood vessels to constrict. When researchers injected 3-n-butyl phthalide derived from celery into laboratory animals, the animals' blood pressure dropped 12 to 14 percent. Celery amazingly doesn't lower blood pressure which is already low.
Insomnia - The minerals and essential oils in celery juice have a calming effect on the nervous system, making it beneficial for insomniacs. Its high magnesium levels help people to relax into a soothing and restful sleep.
Weight loss - Drinking celery juice frequently throughout the day helps curb cravings for sweet. It is filling without putting any extra pounds on.
Elimination and Prevention of stones - Celery juice is an amazing eliminator of toxins from the body, which aids in the breaking and elimination of urinary and gall bladder stones. This lovely juice helps those who have suffered from stones from getting them again.
Increased Sexuality - Celery juice is beneficial for weak sexuality, yet doesn't cause an uncontrollable urge as some pharmaceutical drugs do. Celery balances the system rather than increasing it.
Celery can be juiced with any other fruits or vegetables. A particularly delicious and powerful combination is carrot, apple, cucumber and celery.
Juice It Up!
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 by: Dr. Julian Whitaker
http://www.naturalnews.com/026881_health_cabbage_cherries.html
(NaturalNews) Some mornings on my way to work, I drop by the local Jamba Juice store a block from my office and down 16 ounces of carrot juice and four ounces each of wheatgrass juice and a green tea energy drink. I drink this cocktail for overall health and vitality. The wheatgrass is full of vitamin K and amino acids, the carrot juice is packed with beta-carotene, and the green tea gives me a boost of caffeine and antioxidants to get my day started.
However, this is not a story about general health maintenance. It is about "targeted" juices that have predictable and rapid therapeutic effects on specific health conditions. Let's start with a very common problem: high blood pressure.
Celery Juice Lowers Blood Pressure
When you think about lowering blood pressure, celery probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But this crunchy vegetable deserves some serious attention. Loaded with potassium and magnesium, celery contains something even more important: 3-n-butyl-phthalide, a compound that relaxes the smooth muscle cells in the arterial walls, allowing the arteries to dilate and effectively lowering blood pressure.
One of the physicians at Whitaker Wellness decided to put celery to the test. Every day for a month, she and her father juiced and drank one bunch of celery, mixed with a little orange juice for flavor (it's somewhat bitter on its own). Her father's systolic blood pressure went from 148 to 128 and hers went from 120 to 105. Imagine results this dramatic without dangerous prescription drugs!
Another great juice for people with hypertension is Low-Sodium V8 Juice. It works on two fronts to lower blood pressure. First, it contains a particularly high dose of potassium (840 mg per eight ounces) that helps keep blood pressure in check. Second, according to a study recently published in JAMA, it is an effective blood thinner, which further contributes to its antihypertensive effects. For Ted, one of my longtime patients, simply drinking 12 ounces of Low-Sodium V8 Juice daily was enough to keep his blood pressure in the normal range.
Cabbage Juice Heals the Stomach
Roman statesman Cato the Elder wrote more than 2,000 years ago that, as a digestive aid, "Cabbage surpasses all vegetables." One reason is its high content of glutamine, an amino acid that serves as a primary fuel for the rapidly dividing cells of the GI mucosa. Multiple studies support cabbage's reputation as a therapy for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, especially ulcers, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In one of them, cabbage juice healed peptic and duodenal ulcers in an incredible 92 percent of cases studied!
One person who swears by cabbage juice is a patient we'll call Betty, who was recently at the clinic. Betty was plagued with inflammation of the stomach lining and severe acid reflux. Her conventional doctor tried her on all the usual drugs, but nothing alleviated her pain or reduced the frequency of her episodes-until she came across an article on cabbage juice and decided to give it a shot.
Now whenever Betty has a flare-up, she drinks the juice from half a head of cabbage (yielding approximately four ounces of pleasant-tasting, slightly sweet juice) five times a day for about three days, in addition to copious amounts of water. This three day-regimen keeps her problem-free for eight or nine months-and I'll bet if she drank it religiously, she wouldn't have any problems at all.
Sauerkraut has also been touted for its ability to heal the stomach. In addition to the healthful compounds found in cabbage, this fermented food and its juice are also an excellent source of beneficial bacteria that nurture the GI tract. Eldon, a Health & Healing subscriber, eats it right from the jar to quell heartburn.
Cherry Juice Reduces Pain and Inflammation
Cherries make a mean pie, but a pain reliever? In recent years, cherries have been discovered to contain potent natural anti-inflammatory compounds called anthocyanins and other flavonoids that work on the same inflammation pathways as aspirin and NSAIDs to reduce pain. In fact, researchers from Michigan State University found that just 10 tart cherries pack the same pain-relieving punch as one or two aspirin-and offer a wallop of antioxidants to boot.
Cherries have also been shown to reduce gout. Gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid, which crystallizes in the joints and causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation. In a study conducted at the University of California Davis, eating eight ounces of cherries significantly reduced levels of plasma urate, a marker of uric acid. Cherries also produced small but notable decreases in markers of inflammation.
Francis, a friend of mine, squelches the gout pain in his big toe by eating cherries. And J. Otto Garry, a subscriber from Tamarac, Florida, has had great success treating his arthritis with cherry juice. He drinks three ounces in the morning and another three ounces in the evening to reduce and prevent inflammation. He also includes cod liver oil in his juice and takes alfalfa tablets along with it, which add to its anti-inflammatory value.
Cranberry Juice for UTIs
Everybody knows that cranberry juice can prevent and treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), but have you ever wondered why? Cranberries contain a combination of anthocyanins (the phytonutrient that gives both cranberries and cherries their rich color) and a unique sugar called mannose. Together, these compounds are responsible for thwarting UTIs by making it impossible for bacteria to cling to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract.
Ann, a subscriber I met at a Subscriber Seminar a while back, told me she used to have frequent UTIs until she started keeping a bottle of unsweetened cranberry juice in her fridge. Now when she feels a flare-up coming on, she drinks a glass or two daily for a few days, and she never gets infections anymore.
Judicious Juicing
As a general rule of thumb, I don't recommend drinking a lot of fruit juice as it is loaded with sugar and calories. However, the juices listed above boast too many healing properties to ignore. Judicious juicing offers an easy way to drink to your health and naturally knock out many pressing health concerns. Bottoms up!
Recommendations:
*Some of the juices discussed here are already prepared. Look for Low-Sodium V8 in your grocery store. (Do not substitute regular V8; it contains way too much sodium. If your store doesn't carry it, ask them to order it for you.) You can find unsweetened cranberry and cherry juice at your local health food store. Cherry juice is also available from King Orchards, (877) 937-5464, mi-cherries.com.
*You're going to have to make your own cabbage and celery juice-and you can make your own cranberry and cherry juice from fresh or frozen cranberries and pitted cherries, if you'd like. There are many quality juicers available in department and specialty stores. Look for one that suits your lifestyle and specific needs.
*Suggested doses, taken daily or as needed, are as follows: celery juice from one bunch; cabbage, 4 ounces from one-half head, two to five times a day; sauerkraut, one cup (if you're going to do this regularly, you're better off with cabbage juice because sauerkraut contains a lot of sodium); unsweetened cherry juice, one-half to one cup; unsweetened cranberry juice, one-half to one cup. (If any of these juices are too tart, dilute with water and add a little stevia or xylitol to sweeten.)

Revealed: which fruit and vegetable juices alleviate arthritis pain without drugs or surgery
Thursday, June 09, 2005 by: Ben Kage, citizen journalist
http://www.naturalnews.com/008400_arthritis_arthritis_pain_rheumatoid_arthritis.html
As the song says, "You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone" -- and motor skills are no exception. Despite the ranking of the opposable thumb as one of the single most important evolutionary advantages of the human race, many people take the use of their hands for granted until something draws their attention to it, such as arthritis. Joseph B. Marion, author of "The Anti-Aging Manual", says that an estimated 41 million Americans suffer from arthritis.
Arthritis is actually a term covering over 100 rheumatic diseases; but basically, the affliction can be defined as an inflammation of the joints. According to http://www.rlrouse.com, the two most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis, which generally is caused by every day wear and tear on the foot or poor choices of shoe design, and rheumatoid arthritis, which occurs when the body's autoimmune system begins attacking its own cells, causing joint deterioration and deformation. Some researchers believe a bacterium or virus causes this body malfunction, and others believe that certain people are more genetically susceptible to the condition. This is not to say that some people are genetically predestined to get arthritis, only that some genetic traits put them at more risk.
Although the exact catalyst that causes the body's immune system to attack its own synovium is unknown, the website, http://solvearthritisnow.com, lists some of the common things that can worsen the symptoms. These include lectins, such as those found in lima beans, lentils, and nightshade vegetables, food allergies, especially sensitivity to wheat and dairy products, and chemical sensitivities, particularly smoking or second-hand smoke.
Arthritis is different from most afflictions in that it isn't always a chronic condition. In a few cases, arthritis will only cause noticeable discomfort during "flare-ups" which are often caused by changes in barometric pressure and cold weather. Rheumatoid arthritis usually attacks the joints of individuals between 20 and 60, but it has been known to plague some younger joints as well in a condition known as juvenile arthritis. After age 70, new instances of the disease seem to decline. According to http://www.neckreference.com, the condition affects women three times more than men.
Foods to avoid for arthritis sufferers
According to Phyllis A. Balch, author of "Prescription for Dietary Wellness," some arthritis sufferers should avoid nightshade vegetables, so named because they grow in the shade of night rather than during the day. Vegetables in this group include potatoes, eggplant, peppers (although direct application of peppers on joints can be helpful), and tomatoes.
Nightshades contain an alkaloid called solanine, which seems to have a negative effect on calcium balance, and can even cause headaches. Balch cites Norman F. Childers, a former professor of horticulture at Rutgers University in New Jersey and author of "The Nightshades and Health." Childers was an arthritis sufferer who noticed increased joint pain and stiffness after consuming any type of tomatoes. Childers experimented with his consumption of nightshades. After he had eliminated all nightshade vegetables from his diet, Childers found his arthritis pain to have subsided. Childers concluded, "Regular consumption of tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants is a primary cause of arthritis."
Childers suggests avoiding nightshade vegetables for a month and observing whether symptoms subside or are alleviated. Other substances to avoid include tobacco, coffee, caffeinated tea, salt, artificial colors, and preservatives. Meat is also said to aggravate arthritis, as it is high in uric acid, a primary factor in the aggravation of symptoms. The effects of uric acid can be mitigated by not consuming meat, while consuming dandelion greens, parsley, alfalfa, and the herb devil's claw.
Treating arthritis naturally
The conventional medical theory is that there is no cure for arthritis, only treatments for joint pain and inflammation, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and the nutritional supplement glucosamine. But anti-inflammatory medicines, while beneficial in the short-term, can begin to make the problem worse, as well as deteriorate the stomach and liver.
There are surgical procedures to help with arthritis involving the draining of certain antibodies. Actual joint replacement is another procedure. But these seem rather barbaric. In the past, medical practitioners had even recommended the removal of teeth as a treatment for arthritis.
Another dramatic and unorthodox treatment is a practice known as urtication, which involves using a gloved hand to "sting" the afflicted joints with a herb known as "stinging nettle," or urtica dioica. Although slightly painful, James A. Duke talks of his success with stinging painful joints in "The Green Pharmacy." Some homeopathic practitioners have discovered a less dramatic approach, finding success in relieving arthritis pain with more natural treatments, such as the consumption of certain fruits and vegetable juices.
Mark Stengler, author of "Natural Physicians Healing Therapies," says that vegetables and their juices contain phytonutrients which can be instrumental in aiding the body in regenerating cells –a vital part of treating arthritis. Even orange juice can help since it contains vitamin C, an antioxidant. Antioxidants assist the body in the reduction of swelling and inflammation of the joints.
Cherry juice for arthritis pain
According to an interview with Eve Campanelli, PhD in Prevention magazine, 85 percent of Campanelli's patients had experienced at least partial relief of pain symptoms by drinking two glasses of black cherry juice (four ounces of juice diluted with four ounces of water) twice a day. In addition, Campanelli states that patients can discontinue consumption of the juice once their pain subsides. Campanelli recommends using cherries which have been kept cool and moist, and which have a deep maroon, mahogany, red, or black color. She suggests avoiding fruit of the following kind: those that are shriveled, with dried stems, soft flesh, brown discolorations, or a dull appearance.
"People with rheumatoid arthritis should include in their daily diets juices high in the anti-inflammatory nutrients," said Cherie Calbom, M.S. Calbom is a certified nutritionist in Kirkland, Washington, and co-author of "Juicing for Life." Calbom adds that parsley, broccoli, and spinach can assist in the treatment of arthritis, since these contain beta-carotene, along with carrots, apples, and ginger, all of which contain copper. She also promotes the drinking of pineapple juice, since it is the only source of the strong anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain.
Bromelain helps the body breakdown protein. Incomplete protein break down (i.e. poor digestion) is a condition implicated in arthritis. Bromelain also helps break down plaque and fatty tissue deposits that can clog arteries. It also assists in the natural healing of bruises and minor abrasions.
Other juices said to help include bilberry, celery juice, green barley juice, aloe vera juice, and boswellia extract. Birch cortisone can also help reduce inflammation of joints; however, cortisones can interfere with calcium absorption and should be used sparingly.
Not all juices have a positive effect on arthritis symptoms. In "The New Age Herbalist," Richard Mabey states that spinach juice and spinach itself is bad for arthritis because it contains oxalic acid which can interfere with calcium absorption and exacerbate arthritic symptoms.
Stengler says fish oil has been known to have a positive effect on arthritis symptoms. In one experiment, patients who completely supplemented their arthritis treatments and medications with fish oil while giving up their chemical treatments experienced no relapse in their arthritis symptoms. Stengler suggests using at least 3,000 milligrams daily, but added that some patients didn't require such a high dosage. "Once you start taking fish oil, you can expect to stay on it for at least 12 weeks before it begins to yield benefits," said Stengler, "but after that, you can stay on it indefinitely." However, Stengler suggests that fish oil be used only as one component of a complete arthritis treatment.
Some schools of thought rely on acupuncture to assist in dealing with arthritis pain. Acupuncture is based on an ancient Chinese philosophy that the body has an energy called qi, pronounced "chee." Application of needles to certain points can restore the flow of qi along invisible channels called meridians. Theoretically, when meridians are disrupted, the body becomes ill in response, such as displaying symptoms of arthritis. Proponents of the practice explain it goes beyond temporary relief and actually re-patterns the body.
With some of these lesser known treatment options, arthritis sufferers may no longer have to gravitate toward dry climates to find relief from their pain. Juices and diet changes may provide an equitable solution to the pain caused by arthritis.

Juice your way to summer!

As the scorching heat soars and temperatures cross the bearable mark, everyone runs for succour! Dehydration and heat stroke are commonest threats to human body during this weather - body loses salts and essential minerals in the form of sweat. While water may quench your thirst but it does not provide you with instant energy nor is a replacement for the lost minerals. Of the viable options available, juices are your best bet, suggest experts, not only can they give respite to parched throats but they are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and, they are also low on calories and boost the body's immune system.
Water melons, grapes, oranges, mangoes, pineapple, apples etc are all filled with the goodness of summer. Having a glass of orange juice with your breakfast is a great way to start your day. Besides being loaded with vitamin C, it is rich in antioxidants. Pineapple juice too is a good source of vitamin C and helps is digestion. Specifically for summer afternoons, when the heat is at its worst, chilled water-melon and grape juices work best.
Some of the popular summer fruit juices and their health benefits:
Orange - Orange juice besides being nutritious and pleasant to take at any time is a good source of vitamin C. Experts suggest a glass of orange juice a day can help prevent repetition of kidney stones
Pineapple - Besides being packed with most of the vitamins and minerals, pineapple juice is a very good source of an enzyme bromelain which aids digestion
Apple - Apple juice contains antioxidants, which may help prevent the body from developing various types of cancer, as well as heart diseases
Peaches and plums - These soft and smooth fruit juices contain good amount of vitamin C, beta carotene, antioxidant phytochemicals and anthocyanins all of which help to eradicate the free radicals from the body
Litchi - Litchi juice helps prevent dehydration and keep the body cool
Watermelon - The juice of this deep red summer fruit not only helps to quench thirst but is also a good source of beta carotene, vitamin C, pectin, lycopene, potassium and iron
Guava - Guava juice helps control blood pressure, lowering cholestrol, battling diabetes, combating cancer and protecting prostrate
Grape - Grape juice helps with fatigue and stress. It cleanses kidney and the liver and lowers cholesterol
Papayas and mangoes - The most loved and relished ones. Juices of both are excellent source of vitamin C, beta carotene, vitamin A and fiber
Apricot - Apricot juice is very cooling during fever. Besides quenching thirst it is also known to eliminate waster products from the body. It tones up eyes, stomach, liver, heart and nerves by supplying essential vitamins and minerals. Experts suggest that it also strengthens heart muscles
The human body is always working to keep a balance between how much heat it generates and how much it loses. As the scorching summer sun extracts away all the vitamins and minerals off the body, a quick replacement should always be prioritised. Fruit juces provide the perfect and speedy recovery from a day under sun, especially in today's eat-on-the-run lifestyle. Juices contain all the goodness of the whole product in a condensed form. Juicing extracts the liquid from the food, leaving the pulp behind; therefore, allowing the system to rest from the constant work it does while still taking in nourishment.
"There are however some precautions to be taken, especially in summer months; juices prepared by roadside vendors can cause more harm than good. Fruit juices prepared by these vendors are exposed to heat, dust and other unhygienic conditions besides being laced with loose salts and ice" said Anuja Agarwala, Nutritionist, AIIMS.
She added "Every year there are thousands of cases of typhoid, cholera, hepatitis and gastro-enteritis as a result of consumption of loose juice sold by vendors. Even though the civic agencies ensure regular checks on vendors, water-trolley's and carts the outbreak of these water-borne diseases is an annual feature."
In a scenario such as this one packaged or carton juices are the most feasible option, not only are they hygienic and nutritional but are convenient and easily available.
Safest form of juice available today is packaged juices, they ensure that the rays of the sun do not harm and soak away all the goodness of juice inside unlike in the case of loose juices. The packaging maintains freshness, nutritional quality and the exact taste of the juice making is absolutely refreshing in summer months. Moreover they do not contain any preservatives and can be stored at ambient temperature up to 4 months (if not opened).
So this summer, beat the heat and stay healthy by consuming plenty of juices available from your nearest store. Stay healthy, stay fit!
Freshly Squeezed Juice Lowers the Risk of Obesity
Thursday, May 07, 2009 by: Henri Junttila, citizen journalist
http://www.naturalnews.com/026226.html
(NaturalNews) Drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice every morning will not only bring your body joy, but a new study now shows that it will lower the risk for obesity. That glass of fresh orange juice is looking tastier than ever. Previous studies that show the downfalls of fruit juice have failed to distinguish between store bought fruit juice and freshly squeezed juice; there is a big gap between the two, and this new study proves it.
The Study
The study contained data collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey between 1999 and 2004. Dr. Mark Pereira from the University of Minnesota and co-author Dr. Victor Fulgoni found that those who drank 100% freshly squeezed juice had lower mean body mass index, smaller waist circumference and lower insulin resistance, compared to those who did not consume fresh juice on a daily basis. They found an inverse association between the amount of juice consumed and the above parameters.
Based on the analysis that the researchers did they found that the risk of obesity was 22 percent lower and risk for metabolic syndrome was 15 percent lower in the people who drank 100% freshly squeezed juice, compared to those that did not consume juice on a daily basis. "We know that maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables is linked to decreased risk of some chronic diseases," said Dr. Pereira, associate professor in the University of Minnesota`s Division of Epidemiology and Community Health. "One-half cup of 100% fruit juice counts as a serving of fruit and, based on our analysis, 100% juice consumption is associated with some of these same benefits."
According to the researchers, an intake of 100% freshly squeezed fruit juice was associated with other healthful behaviors. Among the 14,000 participants in the survey - a multiethnic sample of American adults aged 19 and older, the people who consumed fresh juice had higher physical activity, lower fat intake, higher fiber intake and lower added sugar intakes. After the researchers took these lifestyle variables into account, the inverse relationship between fresh juice and metabolic syndrome was no longer statistically significant. However, the risk of obesity still remained: a 14 percent lower risk even after the adjustment was made.
Short Summary
If you don`t have time to eat all those fruits or just enjoy drinking juices, then juicing your own fruits and even vegetables can be a healthful way of getting enough of these foods every day. Drinking the juice as quickly as possible after they have been juiced will ensure that you get the maximum benefit from them.

Juicing for Health and Healing

Trying to improve their health is one of the prime reasons that people invest in their first juicer, as it is well documented now that a balanced diet should include a minimum daily intake of five portions of fruit and vegetables. Juicing can help us consume the goodness that these contain, in one delicious drink.Juicing can help to release nutrients in a more digestible form, by extracting and expelling indigestible fibre, in much the same way as the body, leaving pure nourishment for the body to digest immediately.
This also makes juicing an ideal way to feed someone who has been ill and cannot face a plate of ‘normal’ food. That said, fibre is an essential part of a healthy diet, so it is important to get it from another source, i.e. cereals and wholegrain bread. The obvious nutrients found in juice are vitamins. For example, carrot juice is rich in vitamin A; broccoli, peppers and citrus fruits are rich in vitamin c, and pumpkin is rich in vitamin E. Juicing fresh fruits and vegetables is far healthier than buying pre-prepared cartons or bottles of juice, as many of the nutrients are lost in the commercial heating process which enable them to have a longer shelf life. When juiced and consumed immediately, five portions of fruit and vegetables will give us all the vitamins and minerals we need each day.
Some Simple recipes to start you off
APPLE AND CARROT: is the base for lots of other juices, as they are not only sweet and incredibly good for us, but will also disguise the taste of other things that some people, especially children may not like. By adding a spear of broccoli or a couple of brussel sprouts to this base juice, no one would ever taste it, yet these powerful greens are vital to our well being.
LEMONADE: Juice together a large apple (like Golden Delicious) and a quarter of a lemon, skin, pith and all! Served over crushed ice, this is deliciously refreshing, a good cleanser, has an alkalizing effect, and best of all tastes fabulous! NB Not an additive in sight!
And finally, when you are tired, with no energy, try this great reviver! Juice 2 carrots, 1 beetroot (raw) 2 sticks of celery and a tomato. Incredible flavour and you’ll feel just great afterwards, full of energy and ready to dig over the vegetable patch!
Good health by the glass

There comes a time when even the most willing hedonist decides to give it a rest. The body demands care, and any nutritionist will tell you that one simple approach to revitalization is to take sustenance through juice.
A good juicer costs a bundle, takes up space in the home kitchen and can be time-consuming to clean, so for the detox without the mess, Good Foods Market and Café offers an organic juice bar. Here vitamins, minerals and enzymes come in bracing and sweet flavors, freshly extracted from their original packages. The juice bar opened in 2002, a recent addition in the Co-op's 36-year history.
| STR - Nick Easterling, left, pics up a carrott juice from Cathy Burnett, coffee and juice bar manager, in the juice bar at Good Food Market & Cafe in Lexington, Ky., Tuesday afternoon, December 16, 2008. Photo by Matt Goins
"We got suggestions from customers," said Crystal Stites, the co-op's marketing manager. "People would go to other towns and other co-ops and asked us why we didn't have one here. Some of our best ideas come from our customers."
So a humongous juicer from Miracle Exclusives — the Miracle Pro MJ800 — was bought and set up in a little room evocative of the Wizard of Oz's furtive workspace, from which emerge a variety of blended juices using carrots and beets, ginger and apples, spinach and celery, parsley and lemons ($2.99 to $4.49 for 12 ounces, $3.49 to $5.29 for 16 ounces).
I really like the shots ($1.29 to $1.99) — perhaps because of the bar-like nomenclature? — that are "chased" with a wedge of apple, reminiscent of tequila and lime.
These pure delicious beverages provide enough energy for a natural high, enough beta-carotene for sparkling eyes, and enough nutrients to wash away, or feel as if they wash away, the consequences of any recent indulgence.
One can only hope.
There also are smoothies ($3.99 to $4.49) created from bananas and berries, apples and peaches, milk and honey, even peanut butter — organic when possible — that might be sweet or rich, tart or tropical, and for a small extra charge (50 cents to 99 cents), they can muscle up with a jolt of healthy esoterica such as spirulina and echinacea.
The staff is careful to avoid making medical statements, unfounded claims or guarantees for juice's benefits. Rather, Stites and colleague Cathy Burnett, coffee bar (and juice bar) manager, communicate the conventional wisdom about the efficacy of juice in getting vitamins and minerals into the body and the accelerated metabolization of their concentrated form.
"Juicing breaks down elements to make fruits and vegetables more digestible and allows quick absorption in nutrients. You get a lot in one cup," Burnett said.
But there is no need to undersell the flavors. Carrot juice is luscious. Wheatgrass is like chugging a liquefied but clean front lawn, or so one imagines. A ginger lemon jolt is welcome for its sunny citrus notes and its spicy heat in the damp winter months, and who has to be persuaded to enjoy berries?
Drinking garlic might be a little intense — I haven't graduated to drinks with that ingredient — but during the holidays, as we delight in baked goods and toddies and unbridled indulgence, the value that any juice provides allows you be good while you're being bad.
RECIPES
Straight carrot juice is the most popular drink at the Good Foods juice bar, but below are the recipes for three other healthy concoctions, courtesy of Cathy Burnett.
The Ginger Tonic
Boosts the immune system and gives a kick of energy. Sells for $4.29 for 12 ounces, $5.29 for 16 ounces.
1/2 of one lemon
1/2 of one apple
1 piece of ginger about the size of a quarter
8-10 whole carrots
Peel the lemon first and remove the apple core. The carrots don't need to be peeled first, but some people like to cut off the tips. Process in juicer. Makes 12 ounces.
The Green Energizer
Helps reduce high blood pressure, improve night vision and reduce the risk of heart disease. $4.49 for 12 ounces, $5.29 for 16 ounces.
1 handful fresh baby spinach leaves
1/2 of one bunch parsley
3 stalks of celery
8-10 whole carrots
Process everything in juicer. Makes 12 ounces.
Beets Me
Provides antioxidants and boosts metabolism. $4.29 for 12 ounces, $5.29 for 16 ounces.
1/2 of one small beet
1/2 of one apple
8-10 whole carrots
Process everything in juicer. Makes 12 ounces.
After so long, what inspired it?

Dunedin market an organic garden of delights

Linda Taylor sets up her “It’s Our Nature” booth at the Dunedin Green Market. She sells organic cotton and hemp clothes that are made with fair labor practices and safe dyes.
DUNEDIN — On Wednesdays through Saturdays, many North Pinellas towns have farmers markets. They all make for great strolling in Florida's best weather, but each one is unique.
The Dunedin Green Market in Pioneer Park emphasizes organic.
In the sunshine there Friday, T-shirts were warm enough. The crowd roved from booth to booth while recorded voices sang, "Everywhere around the world, there'll be dancin'. They're dancin' in the street."
Gregory Jones of St. Petersburg, in a crocheted cap, was juicing and mixing organic smoothies. In business for nearly 20 years, he has set up his booth in 35 states.
"Could I have a carrot-apple-ginger?" said Donna Hey of Dunedin.
She took a sip and declared: "Boy, it's delicious."
Next booth over, Debra Chatfield of Lutz was selling products from her business, Lutz Nutz Co. She and her husband rent a Riverview restaurant on Sundays, so they can dry roast the nuts.
Grilled franks and fresh seafood, including humongous shrimp, were nearby. There was coffee grown with a conscience: by adults paid a living wage.
British meat and savory pies beckoned near a booth filled with baked dog treats.
Michael's Extraordinary Desserts had a Christmas stollen, a sweet yeast bread containing fruit and nuts, made in the German tradition and wrapped in red cellophane. It's 3 1/2 pounds of pastry filled with marzipan and candied fruit soaked for at least four months in rum.
"It gets better as it gets older," said Michael Ostrander.
Multicolored bougainvillea flowers bloomed along Douglas Street at Mitch Armstrong Nursery. Other plants had an array of leaf colors and shapes from jagged to ruffled, hairy to smooth, broad to slim.
Linda Taylor's It's Our Nature organic cotton products features "healthy wear for people who care." She sells T-shirts, hats, socks and hemp bags, as well as buttons like one quoting Mahatma Gandhi: "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
The market features two busy produce vendors.
Joe's Market has some little-seen vegetables like a small round zucchini, white asparagus and baby eggplant. Shopper Evie Dann of Dunedin suggested roasting the baby eggplant whole.
"You don't even have to peel them," she said.

Getting by on faith
By Cheah Ui-Hoon
http://health.asiaone.com/Health/Women%2527s%2BMatters/Cancer%2BCentre/Story/A1Story20081201-104688.html
FORWARD planning and faith are what Gerard Ee reckons helped him to cope with his colon cancer. 'Life is a continuum and involves a lot of forward planning - that enabled me to decide on my operation with absolute calm,' he shares. 'And then there's my faith in God which gives me an unusual advantage over others, I guess.'
Mr Ee, a former accountant and affectionately known as Mr Charity, was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, with a tumour almost as big as a tennis ball, last year. He recently shared about his cancer because he wanted people to plan for, and talk more openly, about death.
In fact, if he'd heeded his own advice, he would have gone for a colonoscopy when he turned 50, the 59-year-old shares. 'Colon cancer starts off with polyps and tests are recommended for those after 50, as that's when you begin to run the risk of developing polyps.' On top of that, his family has a history of cancer - his father died of liver cancer.
He first realised something wasn't right due to his habit of checking his stools. 'It's funny, but this is what I remember from the movie The Last Emperor. In the opening scene, the physician was examining the emperor's stools, and this is one way to tell a person's health.'
He noticed that his stools were pudding-like, and that lasted for over a week, which prompted for him to go for a check-up. 'Before that, I'd occasionally have stomach cramps but I would just use minyak kayu (medicated oil) and the cramps would go away so I didn't think twice about it,' he recalls.
When his test came back positive, Mr Ee didn't lose sleep over his scheduled operation. 'There are only two outcomes . . . if I didn't wake up from it, then I had to make sure I had my will, and my wife knew where all the important documents like the insurance policies were.'
His operation took over four hours, and he was in hospital for seven days. 'I have a high threshold for pain, so by the third day, I asked to be taken off morphine. The day after, the drip.' By the fifth day, he was forcing himself to walk around the ward, as advised by his therapist.
'When I first started walking, it was as if my whole stomach was moving around!' he describes. Mr Ee had had two feet of his large intestine removed and part of his small intestine.
Recovery was swift. After a week, two friends brought him his favourite wantan mee from Tembeling Road. 'Yes, I was pushing the boundaries a bit!' he confesses. By the third week, he started attending meetings, but because he got tired easily he only worked half days. Two months after his operation, he started chemotherapy, once every two weeks which lasted for three days each time.
After 12 sessions, Mr Ee has been given the all-clear. 'I'll have another colonoscopy and a CT scan in December.'
Mr Ee's decision after learning about his cancer was to live life as normally as possible, which is why he continued his duties as chairman of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and Public Transport Council, and chairman for Council for Third Age, an active ageing advocate group.
'If I'm recovered, then I'm recovered. Life should go back to normal.'
He has however become more prudent with his diet. 'I restrict myself to wantan mee to Saturdays only. And chilli crab no more than once a month.'
One side effect of the chemotherapy has been numbness in his fingers and toes, but he consulted a Chinese physician at Eu Yan Sang clinic who prescribed herbs to get rid of toxins. 'It's helped as my toes are back to normal, just my fingers are still a bit numb.'
Hives is another, but for that, he just pops an antihistamine.
He feels that the tai chi exercises that he started 20 years ago have helped. 'It's really boosted my resistance. Any kind of 'qi' exercises will help,' he says.
He has also started juicing. I use the Vita-Mix machine and my juice mixtures includes beetroot, brussel sprouts, carrot, tomato, celery,' he says.
Mr Ee used to be a coffee drinker but his one week stay in hospital weaned him off it. Now he stocks up on Japanese green tea, and he plants his own lemongrass to boil as tea. 'Lemongrass has chemicals to kill cancer cells, I understand.' He also has homegrown aloe vera, which he cuts into cubes to add to boiled dried longan and red dates as a dessert.
Death should be just another event in life, he recaps. 'If you plan for it, and talk about it, it becomes more meaningful. It also helps your loved ones to know what to do after you pass on. My own father had told us that we were to mourn for him for only seven days, and that relieved the burden on us,' he says.
'Don't wait till you fall sick before you plan, because how do you make decisions when you're in pain? Why wait until that moment?' he points out.
The Life Before Death campaign launched by the Lien Foundation has seen more than 80 people responding to the call to break the taboo surrounding death. Some have been interviewed for a series of stories on the website www. lifebeforedeath.sg.

Immune Boosting Foods For Winter
Posted Dec 2nd 2008 1:19AM by Doug DiPasquale
http://blogs.lifestyle.aol.ca/2008/12/02/immune-boosting-foods-for-winter/
Now that it's December I think we can safely say winter is here (although it's already felt like winter for awhile now). And with winter comes the inevitable colds and flus on their annual circulation through our workplaces and schools. But there are dietary measures that can be taken in order to up your odds for not contracting every sickness that passes through your social circles.
Believe it or not the foods that we eat have a great deal of influence on how effective our bodies are at fighting off invaders. Sure, we all know that taking in more vitamin C is a good way to stave off colds, but how many people know that bogging down their system with a lot of nutrient-less processed foods can use up valuable resource which would otherwise go toward maintaining the immune system? A glass of orange juice isn't going to do much if it's washing down a giant stack of sugar-drenched pancakes.
Here are a few pointers for keeping your system in good shape over the winter.
Organic fruits and veggies - It may be circumstantial evidence, but I've spoken to a number of people who agree that they began getting sick much less frequently when they started eating foods grown free of chemical pesticides and using sustainable growing practices. If it was an expected outcome I could chalk it up to a placebo effect, but the fact is I was surprised to find I was getting sick much less frequently when eating organic foods.
Herbs - Herbalists use herbs as medicinal ingredients, but you can use them to add delicious flavours and reap the benefits as a pleasant side effect. Rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, black pepper and basil, even onion, garlic and horseradish are all immune system strengthening foods and herbs (and they're all delicious to boot). Make sure the herbs you're using have not been irradiated, however, as this destroys their medicinal effects.
Eating seasonally - Seasonal food means fresh food, so foods from the fall harvest should be the staples of your diet until spring. Hot-house grown foods are available year round but should be the accents to your meals rather than the main dishes. Kale, parsnips, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, beets, cranberries, cabbage, carrots - all of these foods can be eaten in abundance. Remember to maintain variety in your diet so that you're getting a rounded profile of nutrients and antioxidants to keep that immune system at the top of its game.
Eating raw - An apple a day is a good place to start, but don't forget other fall vegetables like carrots, kale, cabbage and even beets can be eaten raw. It's a bit tricky getting a lot of raw stuff in the winter but don't give up on raw altogether. Juicing is a great way to get a good dose of all the potential nutrients and enzymes from the fall harvest and more nutrients means greater immunity.
Preserves with a punch - Our ancestors relied heavily on preserves to keep them from starving over the winter. Although our modern conveniences make starving unlikely, the preservation methods we use today leave something to be desired. Skip the sugary jams and jellies and opt for making your own! Lacto-fermentation is a great way to preserve fruits and vegetables and boost your immune system at the same time. A good portion of your body's immune system resides in the gut, so keeping your digestive tract healthy with the probiotics from lacto-fermented foods is guaranteed to keep you fit for fighting off colds and flus.
Super foods for super health - Super foods are foods that have high concentrations of nutrients and antioxidants. They include goji berries, flax seeds, acai berries, blue-green algae, raw unsweetened chocolate, blueberries, kombucha tea, bee pollen, aloe vera as well as many others. Many of these super foods are dried or preserved and can therefore be enjoyed throughout the year. It's never a bad idea to add some of these foods to your diet.
Following these simple rules, and avoiding a lot of packaged and processed foods will help to keep you healthy all through the winter. And don't forget to get some exercise too.

Wheat grass may be the new apple

A shot a day might keep the doctor away
By BRANDIA DEATHERAGE, Staff Writer
http://www.wdnweb.com/articles/2008/11/30/news/news01.txt
Karen Sairanen looks much younger than her years. She attributes her radiant health to 30 years of practicing yoga and partaking in active hobbies, such as her current artistic endeavor, mural painting, which requires plenty of ladder climbing and kinesthetic awareness. Her recently enhanced natural glow, however, she credits to a mysterious green liquid that smells like a freshly cut lawn.
This mysterious liquid is none other than the fresh-squeezed form of the grass from the common wheat plant, or wheat grass.
Once only found in such hyper-health-aware locales as southern California, wheat grass has made its way to eastern North Carolina’s Washington Cafe and Coffee Company. Washington locals, Jack and Carol Ulrich, juice the grass for long lines of wheat-grass fanatics from 6:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday. The cost is two dollars for a shot of wheat grass and an orange chaser.
The forever-young Karen Sairanen has been going to Washington Cafe for her daily dose of juiced wheat grass for about four weeks now.
“I like the fact that it’s two-and-a-half pounds of vegetables per shot, because I don’t get that any other way,” Sairanen said.
The health benefits of wheat grass were discovered in the 1930’s when a scientist, Charles F. Schnabel, found that it not only revived dying hens, but doubled their egg production as well.
Filled with chlorophyll, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and (some would say) unique, undiscovered curative properties, wheat grass provides new hope to many who find themselves in a rut with their health in general, or a specific diagnosis.
People like Margie Holder are simply optimistic about the general health benefits of wheat grass. Holder has been taking a shot of wheat grass per day for close to one year.
“My hair and nails are growing like crazy,” Holder said. “I mean, really, my hairdresser has noticed, and my nail lady has noticed.”
After one year she seems to have gotten used to its grassy taste.
“I like the way it tastes,” Holder said. “It’s very clean and green tasting!”
Washington Cafe regular Macon Jordan comes for the coffee and conversation, but sees the wheat grass as an added bonus.
When asked what the wheat grass does for him, Jordan said smiling, “For a 70-year-old man, I’m 40!”
Wheat grass is also being sought as a form of alternative medicine by people with various illnesses who need something to supplement their traditional wellness plans.
Carol Ulrich and her husband Jack began juicing their personal stash of home-grown wheat grass at the Washington Cafe because they wanted to share its possible healing properties with neighbors and friends. Carol Ulrich is a walking testament to these possibilities. Carol has, for years, been able to keep bone cancer from spreading, but only as long as she is taking her daily dose of wheat grass.
Others seem to be experiencing similar successes with their respective health issues.
Terry Conner, who has been diagnosed with anemia, has been taking wheat grass every day for a month to help supply her with energy.
Kareem Saleeby, is taking wheat grass for his arthritis and overall well-being. “I’ve stopped the anti-inflammatory medications, and this seems to be helping my astio-arthritis just as well,” Saleeby said.
“It was referred by a friend of mine,” he said. “You know, I eat a lot of vegetables, I try to avoid red meat; I just thought it was a healthy thing to do. It supports liver function. I’m trying to keep my liver in shape.”
Even health-care professionals, such as most of the personnel from the Beaufort County Medical Center’s operating room, come for their daily shot of wheat grass, Carol said.
“I love to hear what the men from the OR say when they come in. It’s hysterical,” said Carol. “They try to come in and recruit other people.”
She said some of the men have even noticed marked new hair growth after drinking the wheat grass.
Jack and Carol Ulrich, on average, juice nine, one pound bags of wheat grass in one day. They are getting ready to increase their current orders, of 15 bags every other day, to accommodate their growing number of customers. The Ulriches say that the Washington Cafe is the only place in North Carolina east of Raleigh that offers juiced wheat grass.
“We have people drive to Washington from Edenton, Wilson, Elizabeth City for the wheat grass,” said Jack.
Toni Cooley, an owner of the Washington Cafe and Coffee Company, said, “We see having wheat grass here in the mornings as an enhancement to the cafe’s positive and friendly atmosphere and also to our healthy menu items, such as our fruit smoothies. We enjoy meeting the new customers it brings in. I take it everyday, and I feel great! My brain is alive!”
“Yeah, some people take it and chase it with something they can really look forward to,” said Carol.
Six Reasons to Drink Green Juice Every Day
Wednesday, November 05, 2008
by: Sheryl Walters, citizen journalist
http://www.naturalnews.com/024708.html
(NaturalNews) We all know that eating plenty of greens is necessary for optimum health. Eating fresh, organic, local greens is the best medicine we can give our bodies. A daily green juice is one of the best ways to ensure that we get plenty of greens. It makes it so easy, and even those people out there who don’t love greens will enjoy a delicious green juice because the flavour can be masked. Green juice is a wonderful way to make sure children are getting plenty of greens.
So what is green juice? Green juice is a mixture of green vegetables combined together in a delicious combination of juice. All you need is a juicer and some good quality greens, and you’re off.
Here are 6 Reasons to Consume Green Juice Everyday:
Juicing helps in the Absorption of Nutrients – If your digestive system is less than optimal, it can be difficult to absorb all of the nutrients when eating greens. Juicing will break down the cell walls of vegetables so that they are pre-digested for you. This means that all of the nutrients go straight into your system.
Juicing Means that You Can Eat More Greens – You probably aren’t going to eat a whole head of celery in a day…but you can easily drink a whole head of celery juice. Juicing also allows you to consume a wide variety of greens all at once. You most likely wouldn’t have kale, cucumber, celery and parsley for breakfast, but you will enjoy it as a juice.
Juicing is a Great Way to Get Loads of Chlorophyll, which is the building block of our bodies. Chlorophyll is what makes plants green, and it is perhaps the most powerful element that exists in the universe. It is medicine for our bodies. It increases the flow of oxygen to all parts of the body, which means we release more carbon dioxide, toxins and stress. Plenty of oxygen means that our bodies become an aerobic environment where disease cannot live. An anaerobic environment is where disease thrives.
Green Vegetables contain Nearly all of the Trace Minerals we Need – Most people are seriously lacking in essential minerals which mean that our bodies are not equipped with the necessary resources to fight disease and feel fantastic. Green juice is a great way to get all of the vital minerals for vibrant health.
Green Juice Provides us with the Enzymes that we need to cleanse, detoxify and renew at a cellular level. Enzymes are also needed to digest food. We cannot have amazing health without enzymes. Cooking and processing of any type destroys all enzymes, so raw food, especially greens, is absolutely essential to maintain healthy enzyme levels. A daily green juice is a sure way to maintain enzyme levels.
Juicing Makes Greens Taste Great – As mentioned above, juicing can make greens more palatable. This is because they can be sweetened with an apple or carrot. It is essential not to overdo it on apples and carrots because they can raise blood sugar levels, but adding a carrot or apple to a green juice transforms it into a delicious juice that most people will enjoy.
Delicious Green Juice Recipe:
2 Sticks of Celery
Handful of Spinach
½ a Cucumber
1 large apple or 2 small apples
Start juicing it up!

Consumers have it hard these days, paying for food, utility bills and for the roof over our heads. How can we eat well in these times, maintain health and well-being on a budget? Have you tried vegetable juices?
It is important for us to know that we can make our juices into a balanced meal while using minimum energy in terms of not having to cook with gas or electricity. Using our juice machine for two to five minutes to blend or extract the juices use far less energy.
Vegetable juices helps us to regain or maintain health. Most foods we eat should contain live, vital organic elements, which are found in fresh, raw vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts. When you eat raw, uncooked vegetables and fruits, their fibres act as an intestinal broom in swabbing the walls of the intestines of accumulated impurities. It is important to have a variety of vegetable juices, starting off with those that you enjoy eating.
Fresh vegetables and fruit juices are builders and regenerators of the body as they contain many of the amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes necessary for the functions of the body. When on juice, it is important to listen to our bodies, as our stomachs should feel good over a period of four hours. If we find our stomachs growling or making its presence known, we probably juiced something that we should not be eating or added too much cabbage or beans to the juice. This is where we could add a pinch of ginger or a sprig of fennel to the juice. Remember, we will be eliminating bulk rice, flour and meat our diets. Soups or broths are excellent in-betweens.
Storing your juices
Vegetable juices are perishable and it is best to drink them immediately, but there is a method recommended for storage for no longer than 24 hours. Place juice in a container, fill right up to the top and cover with an airtight lid. Wrap the glass jar or container with aluminum foil to block out light. Remember light damages the juice.
Store juices in the refrigerator until ready for use. It is best to take out half an hour before use, as it is best to consume juices at room temperature.
A balanced juice meal
A well-balanced juice meal can consist of the following:
1. Shredded whole coconut (which improves your immune system, and is an excellent source of fat to balance the meal).
2. Powdered Irish moss (which is high in nutrients and is a filler).
3. Powdered or grated ginger (just a pinch to improve the taste and for heart health).
4. A clove of garlic (to balance the bowel flora and to help the immune system).
5. A quarter cup of fresh pumpkin, already diced, and a tablespoonful of linseed (flaxseed).
6. Freshly chopped lettuce, bok choy and a small amount of carrot for its sugary content.
7. Chlorella one teaspoon to 6ozs.(chlorella is a powerful nutrient from the sea, which assists in cleansing the blood-binding pesticides, mercury and arsenic for removal from the body).
Adults should drink no more than 6 ozs. of juice at a time.
Remember, you can start growing your vegetables, start juicing and controlling the budget while looking radiant and feeling energised.

My ultimate goal in juicing was to improve my immune system. For a sickly person, it has achieved that end. Yes, I still occasionally get sick, but these occurrences are fewer and shorter in duration. In addition, I find that fresh juice provides me more energy.
I've been juicing for 19 years. It is an integral part of my lifestyle. Juice preparation requires the washing and cutting of fruits and vegetables. The scraps that do not make it into the juicer will end up in my compost pile. Eventually the compost returns to the earth to aid the growing of more vegetables for juicing, e.g., tomatoes, cucumbers and parsley.
Make no mistake, juicing requires a commitment, it is work, but the health benefits can be immeasurable. To aid you in assessing juicing, it is recommended that you read the following post titled "Juiciing: Your Key to Radiant Health, #msg-32950814.
Below is a booklist that has aided me in learning and making a firm commitment to juciing. From time to time, I get lazy and do not feel like juicing and then I refer to the books and the juice machines will be used.
By the way, I currently have three juicers. Also, I have given away 5 juicers for presents.
This board is intended for learning and discussing experiences with juicing.
Good luck,
