Blog: 30 day juice fast
I really need some liquid substitute for the greens, I'm not getting enough. I do have wheat grass and liquid oxygen. I hope that will help some.

These are good choices. But you do need to be drinking more veggies than fruits and those veggies should contain greens. The 16 ounce undiluted juice I make usually consists of:
3 to 5 carrots
1 or 2 apples
1 stalk celery (with leaves)
1 quarter beet (sometimes greens)
handful spinach and parsley
1 large Swiss Chard leaf (sometimes 2)
handful Kale
small garlic clove
Sometimes I also add brocolli, cabbage, green beans, brussel sprouts, etc
It is recommended that fruits be limited to mornings for the most part, though occasionally I have a craving for my pineapple, celery, radish combo and will drink that whenever.
You didn't mention water. Water is crucial on a fast. Drink more water than you do juices and herbal teas. A good rule of thumb is to divide your weight in half and drink that much water in ounces. So if you weigh 160 pounds, say, you need at least 80 ounces of water, that's ten 8 ounces glasses per day. Water flushes the body and also helps to reduce water retention in the body.
I hope this helps,

- Green Substitutions by Dazzle
19 y

Liquid substitutes for green veggie juices are not nearly as good for the body as the raw green veggie juices themselves. I have also listed on my blog a few liquid supplements I take, including green food. Again, I suggest you read the blog. There are also forums on CureZone that will answer your questions such as: http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=119
I would never substitute my green veggies for something else because substitution is far weaker than the real thing. Supplementing, however, is different than substitution, because you are adding to the green veggies, rather than having the supplement take the place of the green veggies.
Hope this helps.

Dazzle,
thanks again, I'm going to look at the website, and I'll take your advice about NO substitites. I am drinking plenty of water, I LOVE water, We get distilled dilivered to our home, but for the fast I bought some gallons so I could keep track. I've gotten really attached to the "blogging". It's really helping me, I'm going to tell others, I'm a Pastor so I know a lot of people that fast, mostly not the correct way. I think this site will help, because they could do it in the privacy of their homes and not feel shame or like someone is judging them, unlike me I've always been the "health nut" so I'm use to people telling me,10,14 or 21 days is tooooooooo long. So when they give me compliments most of the time it's attached to but I can't eat like you, I have to have my sugar, pop, etc. But I really think people are changing, I'm really seeing that. Dazzle keep up the good work, I pray ALL the kindness and ministering, YES ministering you do to others will come back to you in a really big way. Long Life. But God. Oh yea My Husband is talking about juice fasting with me.

Thank you, very much, But God, for your kind words. They truly touched my heart.
I'm glad you came over to CureZone to blog and yes, I understand why you enjoy blogging... by writing out your thoughts and emotions and trials and errors and triumphs, you are clarifying and edifying your experiences in hopes that you not only inspire yourself but others who find themselves in your position.
Blogging also attracts likeminded individuals and that's what attracted me initially. I'd never heard of CureZone until 3 weeks ago when I began fasting. Dunno why CZ has eluded me all this time, because I know just about every other natural healing type website out there, it seems. But, I knew no one who has any interest in natural healing or juicing or fasting or anything like this. I've fasted quite a few times and always alone with it. My family is very supportive but not interested in joining me. So, when I found CZ, I felt as though I was among likeminded people. I've not only received support, but have made some interesting and inspiring friends already, including yourself.
I admire everyone here because we are all on the same Quest: To better ourselves, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We're all seekers. We're all on a Quest that will prove challenging, but we'll not abandon ship, we'll take it to the end, because we know in our hearts that the end is really the beginning.
For you: One week gone
For me: One week left
By the time I am done with my fast, you will be halfway through yours.

Hi dazzle,
I so happy for you 1 week to go, what a blessing. I understand the family situation, my family does great about supporting me,right now they're all giving up something including my 14 yr old she's giving up chocolate (she did it for 21 days last month), my 20 & 27 yrs old men are giving up VIDEO GAMES and meat, my husband keeps attempting to do only juices but he's fasted the longest 10 days water some years ago with me and that's a major accomplishment for his he LOVES food and fasting is not his strenght, but I never make him feel bad because I do. I think however, this juice fast might not be so scary for him,this is the first time I've done juicing 30 days, it's water or daniel fast that intails eating veg/fruit 14 days.
I hope you keep in touch dazzle, I think you are a big help to people on the Czone.
I'll be reading some more of your information on juicing. I'm thinking about broth today and lots of water.
Well, Blessings
But God

- wheatgrass!!!! by finallyfaith

wheatgrass is the ultimate green juice. i would reccomend just increasing your wheatgrass dosage. it is the most potent of all juices, period. i have seen mega doses of wheatgrass do absolutley amazing things with my own eyes.
slowly increase over time. try to get up to 6 to 8 oz a day. mix with orange and lemon juice to improve taste.

Finally Faith,
How would you recommend Wheat Grass for those who do not have a Wheat Grass juicer? Is there a reputable Wheat Grass product on the market that you would recommend?
Thanks,
