It pays to be informed. It’s not always possible to juice organic. And sometimes it’s not possible to substitute. When that happens, it is imperative to wash and rinse your produce thoroughly. And perhaps even avoid it entirely. Use common sense and stay informed.
Happy Juicing,

The Curing Properties of Juice
Juice therapy uses fresh juices to provide a nutritional foundation for the body’s curative processes, because fresh juices play an important role with almost any regime to cleanse the body and restore vitality. With juice therapy, nutrients are supplied in a concentrated, raw, and unprocessed form that is easy to consume and digest, making juice an ideal companion to fasting and health maintenance regimens.

Cucumber is a plant that has been well-known in India and Egypt for 4000 years. Women have always covered their faces with thin slices of cucumber to moisturize and restore brilliance to their skin. Cucumber pulp is highly valued in cosmetology. Rich in vitamin C, it is used in face care products and moisturizing and anti-wrinkle creams. But it’s especially valued in treating oily skin, while prized for its softening and healing properties and its astringent and cleansing action. It normalizes sebaceous secretions.

Putting the Squeeze on Good Health
Fruit and vegetable juices aren’t new to the American diet. From hospital cafeterias to fast-food outlets to our own kitchens, breakfast isn’t breakfast without orange juice. Juices now come in special packages designed for toddlers’ tiny hands, and health-conscious adults swill the stuff all day long as a tasty alternative to soda.
But as more and more people are discovering, fruit and vegetable juices aren’t just delicious. Alternati ... read more Aloe Vera: The Beauty Behind the Bitterness

Aloe Vera, fresh and raw, has played a large role in my life for a very long time. Since I live in a tropical climate, I am fortunate because Aloe Vera grows like a weed and is commercially grown here in Florida. It is quite easy to grow just about anywhere as long as it has sufficient sunlight, healthy grainy soil and is protected from extreme weather. As a matter of fact, Aloe thrives on neglect, just not temps below 45º. It grows suc***s which can be repotted and they ... read more The Beauty of Detox 18 y
Physical beauty is only superficial and merely skin deep until one does a thorough body detox, and then beauty becomes a way of living.
D etoxification comes in many forms and refers to many different programs that cleanse the body of toxins. Today, our environment is toxic and the foods we eat, even the air we breathe and the water we drink is laden with chemicals foreign to our system. Therefore, everyone is undergoing some type of detoxification to maintain life and health. Although basic detoxification begins with diet, detox programs may include nutritional fortification for the liver, lungs, kidneys, bowels and blood.
We will soon see why these organs are so ... read more Rawsome Beauty

Strive to become beautiful on the inside and you will become beautiful on the outside...
All of my life, I wanted to be beautiful. In today’s society, it is more acceptable to insist that you are "beautiful on the inside", unfortunately, those of us on the outside are not seeing your insides. Wanting to be beautiful is now criticized as being shallow. I’m sorry but I would rather be perceived as shallow than hypocritical because I find it impossible to believe than any women is content to be less than she can be.

If you want a clear mind and uplifted spirit – and who doesn’t – not to mention energy, drinking raw juice each day is a great step in the right direction. It is an excellent way to clear a cold, banish a hangover and even clear the pain of arthritis (provided of course you’ve not been on long-term drug therapy which can sometimes interfere with the body’s ability to detoxify and heal itself).

Yes! We are "fearfully and wonderfully made!"
If I were asked which is the area of greatest misunderstanding and confusion in the field of nutrition, I would immediately be forced to reply that it is the failure to properly understand and interpret the symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better nutritional program.
What is meant by a better nutritional program?
It is the introduction of foods of higher quality in place of lower quality ones. For example, if a person replaces a protein rich food such as pork with beef, the beef may be considered the superior of the t ... read more Cellular Detoxification and Colon Cleansing

The colon can be considered the most important organ of the body. There are nerve connections between the colon and every other part of your body. The colon has two functions: absorption of nutrients and elimination of poisons and waste. Alimentary toxemia also called auto intoxication (having a stagnated colon) has been argued to be the root cause of all disease.

When considering the question of human wellness today, it is worthwhile to examine the role of nutrition and detoxification in achieving optimal health.
I believe there is one, and only one disease - and that is toxemia. This can be described as the accumulation in the body of wastes, toxins, or poisons (free radicals). These toxins accumulate primarily as a result of dietary habits, and do so in two different ways.
It is no secret that the typical Western diet consists of over-processed, devitalized foods grown with chemica ... read more Trouble Shooting the Raw Food Diet 18 y

This Entry Is Out Of Order: Belongs At The Bottom!
M y objectives in doing a 30 day juice fast is to try and quit smoking (once and for all! -- yes I’ve been through that before, too), do a whole body detox , and to knock off 30 pounds and 10 years. Not asking for much am I? But with juice fasts done correctly, it’s highly probable that I will succeed with at least 3 out 4. I’ve done this before, so I know what to expect and am aware that the next three to four days are going to be uncomfortable, at times very uncomfortable, but there’s brilliant light at the end of the tunnel after four days.
Well, I’ve loaded up on prod ... read more And, The Beat Goes On... 18 y

Greetings My Fellow Health Nuts, Raw Food Lovers, Furious Fasters, Seekers of Truth and Gentle Readers,
Yesterday, Sunday, Feb 19, 2006, was the last day on my extended 30 day juice fast and I ate light raw foods today. So, I fasted for 30 days with two days on raw foods and then back to fasting for four more days, for a total of 34 days. That was interesting journey, to say the least. I had alot of fun and I learned so many new things I can incorporate into my life right now such as the raw foods lifestyle ... read more |
