I began juicing about a month ago abd it has really made a difference for me. There is a fabulous site I joined, and it has a "juicing group" listed under liquid lounge...very knowledgeable people there. Here is the link:

I would start off slow with the green juice as it is quite potent!

Thank you and thanks for the website, I am really hoping that this will help me get some energy back, even if it is just a little!!

You're welcome! I am sure it will help quite a bit, as it helped me more than I thought it would.

have you ever heard of gerson therapy?
i saw a documentary on it called 'gerson miracle' (on netflix)
the basis for the treatment is juicing and they have great recipes for detox and energy.
although im alittle skeptical or whether or not the therapy is a cure all it seems to help alot of people.
im saving to get a juicer now! the benefits of raw food are too good to pass up!

I have never heard of that therapt, will look it up. Thanks! In the years I have been dealing with this, there IS one thing I believe, and that is (IMO) there is no single "cure". There are many things we can do individually to increase our health, and that seems to always be changing. Healthy foods and is the easiest way to get our vitamins/minerals, and juicing makes it even easier to absorb.

I know the green stuff is good for you, but I have a problem with the color being unappetizing, and not crazy about taste. My favorite easy drink is a few carrots, an apple and a quarter beet. I add the stems of the beets. The beet tastes very good (sweet!) and makes it a very pretty color. I read you should go slow in adding the beet- not too much until your body is used to it. Not sure, but I think getting organic is especially important for the roots.

I bought some expensive green powder (dehydrated veggies) from whole foods- my plan was to add a scoop to the last bit of my carrot/apple/beet mixture, so I could just gag down some of it and not ruin the entire drink (because I don't like the taste) - But my dog stole it out of the cupbord and ate the whole canister! I hope it helped his health!

My mother in law juices greens every morning (usually from her garden) and while she was never overweight, she is now quite slender and in excellant health and she attributes to juicing.

BTW- Beets are very easy to grow, and a winter crop...

Yes. slrow. I too have started juicing
again and am really liking it. I also do
a few carrots, apples, sometimes parsley and
and celery. Othertimes I add a cucumber.
Someone referred me to Body Ecology website
where I believe there's a recipe for 'green
drink'. All of these things help the body
detox and they're loaded with minerals.
I had to be careful of too much sugar
so sometimes I avoid carrots or beets.
I'm sure you'll find what works for
you. Like one of the people said, there's no 'one' cure but everything helps.

Thanks everyone. I look forward to being able to start. I think Monday is going to be the day :) I am glad that I got some feedback from everyone. You guy;s are awsome!!
