30 Day Juice Fast Journey -- Day Twenty Two by Dazzle

The last few of days I've not been able to write lengthy blogs due to various life is what happens when you make other plans incidences... unexpected guests, hubby needing his computer to work on mine, the SuperBowl, etc.

Today is Day 22 of my 30 day juice fast journey, with 8 more days to go. I will admit today I felt pretty tired of juice fasting. I love the juices and will probably never stop loving the juices (I drink them all the time, even when not fasting) but I am tired of not eating. Yesterday was especially difficult. I wanted to eat everything I saw. It's a good thing I don't bite my nails. I remember joking with someone on CureZone about going out and buying some of those rawhide strips for dogs and just chewing on those... So I just upped the amount of juices but even that wasn't working because I am not hungry, per se. I am not feeling hollow either. It's a psychological thing: SOLID FOOD. I was actually one of those kids who chewed their pencils and pen caps. Though I am not a gum chewing person, never was, I am a chewer! I like crunchy, chewy foods, not soft and soggy foods. And here I am drinking liquids, the most soggy kind of food there is.

Today my husband, who has registered on CureZone as Snuzin' because he's in the sleep dis-order field, bought himself a couple slices of pizza, while we were out, because he didn't want me to have to cook anything for him. That was a very sweet gesture, but that pizza was in the car with us and tantalized me down to a puddle of quivering flesh. Nah, it wasn't that bad. But I sure wanted a bite.

It gets like that toward the end of a prolonged fast, at times, for me. Sometimes it's pretty hairy, but most of the time it's mundane. I'm fortunate, I suppose, because I do like the juices and have no problem at all with the greens. When I make an undiluted 16 ounce glass of juice, at least 8 ounces, is pure greens with garlic. The rest is carrot/apple. I drink this three or 4 times a day. Today, I drank 4 16 ounces of juice of which at least 8 ounces of that was greens, making it at approximately 32 ounces of green juice a day and 32 ounces of carrot/apple. For me that works. Sometimes I'll have pineapple/celery/radish combo whenever I want it. So you can see why I don't feel hungry, I drink enough.

Finally Faith suggests and recommends highly, drinking wheat grass juice, of which I have never tried. So I'm going to hunt some some down, preferably the icecubes, because I don't have a wheat grass juicer and don't plan to get one until I try the wheatgrass out. I've got a dehydrator on my list at this moment but then after that I need to get another juicer... so I thought I'd get one that could do wheat grass at the same time. The juicer I have is not cost effective anymore. Time to look into something newer and much better, after I get the dehydrator.

Here is a muscle-blasting, power-pushing juice recipe for joggers. Juice fasters often experience periods of phenomenal strength and endurance. Clean blood, clean muscles, and enzyme-rich, nutrient-packed, fuel make for intense aerobic activity. Water fasting usually requires rest, but not so with juice fasting. Look out! You can clean your house, run and lift weights with the best of them. Many elderly fasters such as Ehret and Bragg performed extraordinary feats of endurance while fasting. Try this juice out on a five-mile jog. Add a little crushed ice and let your taste buds sing. Sip slowly.

A delicious alcohol free party pleaser that will blow both socks off. Ask the host if you can take your juicer to the party. Enjoy an enzyme high without a nasty hangover. It may be more expensive than beer, but who wants to drink yeast excrement (alcohol) anyway? Cut loose with the joy of the Spirit. And when all those social drinkers are drinking to numb the conscious, yours will be free and clear. And when the fun becomes foolish, you can drive safely home to rest with a timely excuse—I jog at 6 o'clock in the morning.

2 carrots
1 sweet potato
2 apples
thin slice of Spanish onion
pinch dulse powder

He renews our youth—to run and not grow weary. The Lord renews our strength so that we will mount up on wings like eagles.

It’s time to let go and let God. To trust, and have hope. He is with you and will never forsake you. And joy shall flow from your heart, like a child.

1/2 watermelon
1 lemon
5 oranges
1 can frozen pineapple concentrate (I used quarter fresh pineapple)

So you're just entered the iron man contest. No more couch baby-sitting for you. Heading for the threshold of endurance. Developing a discipline like iron that will keep you running with power toward that finish line. Fixed and resolute, yet flexible and gentle. Driven and focused, yet child-like and joyful. Strong, yet dependent on God. Ready those muscles for training. Stir the soul. Be ready for action like a soldier awaits a command.

A delightful surprise to both men and women is the increased vitality of their sexua| organs. Juice fasting cleanses all the organs and when bathed in healing nutritious juices, those organs become ready and vigorous for the function they were intended. God made sex to be enjoyed, giving fulfillment to the sacred bond of marriage. Marriage it is a holy act and pleasing to God. Juice fasting can bring back the long forgotten sparks. After an exciting night one woman responded to her 65-year-old husband “Honey you should fast more often!” When a husband and wife filled with God's love, passionately display selfless affection, there is great contentment.

Citrus juice made from a hand citrus juicer and a centrifugal force juice extractor can be quite different. The electric juice extractor produces a thick frothy juice, which is more tart. The quality and the nutritional value of the two are similar so it is only a matter of preference.

This is an awesome waker-upper and is healthier than coffee. It may take a little more time to make, but you will gain time because of the sharp mind that you will have in whatever you do.

So you're ready to clean house. To scale the Mount Everest of dust and garbage. To enter the black hole of the basement. To chop a jungle trail through the kid's bedroom. To reach into crevices too horrid to imagine. Yes, you need juice. Not just plain juice, but hyper-housecleaner juice. More powerful than a janitor in a drum. More thorough than Mr. Clean. Able to leap kid's toy's in a single bound. Polish up those cleaning utensils and get ready for an aerobic house-cleaning workout.

This juice is like music to your cells. Let this amazing juice parade down to belly to the applause of 9000 taste buds.

If a juice can make us feel this good, what will the glory of entering heaven be like. All of heaven rising to its feet as you enter, tired, worn, and weary yet filled with joy. The finish line. The reward and all of heaven stands to their feet. They are chanting something softly growing louder to a cheer. It is your name. You may even get a standing ovation.

1 lemon
2 radish
1 beet
1 slice Spanish onion
2 sweet potato
1 celery
2 Tbs. cider vinegar

So you've made the decision to run the race of heaven. To give it your all. To live without needs or wants. To be a servant. To deny self. To live in the spirit of peace, kindness, hope and joy. To war against spiritual realms, praying always. To stilling the storms of the soul through trusting in God. To be willing to suffer. Then, here is the juice for you. Make it in the morning just before a brisk walk of discipline. Make it a walk of war against doubt, fear, worry, lazy thinking, role-playing and frustration. As you walk, adjust the face of your soul so that it shines with peace, love and joy. And do it with all your power and might.

1 beet
1 sweet potato
2 apples
1 lemon
1 tomato
thin slice of Spanish onion
1 garlic clove
1/2 can of frozen apple concentrate

Crush ice or blend with water till slush. Add juice and get ready to chill out. Cool down those forces of frustration. Be at peace in the storm. This drink is made to refresh your cells like the Spirit is made to refresh your soul. Sit back and consider your blessings. Look at what is with in. You are kind, loving, encouraging, full of hope and at peace. A sign that God is at work within.

Bruises, aches and sprains can be irritated by a toxic bloodstream and a high-protein diet. But a low-protein, natural diet, lessens irritation and reduces inflammation. Not only does this juice taste delightful, it assists in the healing process. Adam and Eve never woke up stiff with arthritis. Perfect food sustaining perfect bodies. It is our heritage to be healthy and pain free.

Scientists have determined that we use only 10 percent of the brain. Living on coffee and donuts reduces that percentage to 2 percent. Here is a juice to stimulate all of that unused percentage back into activity. For this juice to be effective, you need a five-day juice fast to clear the coffee, donut and junk food residues out of the bloodstream. Once clear, this wide-spectrum, nutrient-rich juice will stir the brain into super-activity. Better memory, sharper thinking and good study techniques are the tools for great marks. No more morning brain fog. Now you can leap out of bed to study while brushing your teeth and preparing for the day.

3 ripe tomatoes
1/2 green or red pepper
1 celery stock
1 apple
1 Tbs. Good Tasting Yeast
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 Tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Worcestershire
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
3 drops Louisiana Hot Sauce (optional for the real man)

Do you enjoy bungi jumping? How about sky diving? If you have an adventurous personality, then this is the perfect juice for you. When you are fasting, drinking this juice may make you feel like you have just eaten a large pizza. If you are on a cleansing fast, eliminate the good tasting yeast.

If you enjoy the taste of licorice, you will love fennel. This unusual vegetable looks like fat celery with feathers. Fennel helps your eyes to increase in sensitivity, overcoming night blindness. Some have found fennel juice good for relieving migraine headaches.

This bacteria buster means business. Garlic reduces blood pressure, helps with the problem of blood clotting, lowering the LDL which increases bad cholesterol. Garlic boosts the immune system and encourages the recovery of heart attack victims. Garlic contains allicin which inhibits bacterial growth and fungus, helping with yeast over-growths, and useful in treating candida. Garlic increases the flow of digestive enzymes and encourages detoxification through the skin. The addition of parsley helps in combating the unpleasant odor of garlic. This juice is worth losing a few friends over.

Rudolf Breuss's, anticancer mixture has helped thousands of suffering people. This juice blend, during fasting, exerts a death blow on cancer. This was attested by over 24,000 patients who wrote him describing relief from their diseases. His patients were given small amounts of this juice over 42 days. A tea composed of nettle, St. John's wart, marigold, artemisi and monarda was also given. By "starving out" the cancer, Rudolf Breuss reported a 96% success rate for the thousands of patients he treated over 30 years of practice. (Rudolf Breuss died in 1989 at 93 years of age.)

Its composition is: 55% beet root, 20% celery root, 20% carrot, 3% potato, 2% radish.

Cranberry juice is a powerful healing tonic, filled with quinine which changes to hippuric acid in the liver. Hippuric acid is able to assist in the removal of purines, uric acid, urea and toxic build-up in the prostate gland, testicles, kidneys and bladder. An excellent preventative juice for North American men who are battling the increased risk of prostate cancer. It is a wonderful defense against yeast infections for women. Cut apples into wedges, seeds and all.

1 wedge watermelon with rind
1/2 lb. red grapes
(I've added a handful of pitted Bing Cherries, fantastic!)

Watermelon rind has chlorophyll, vitamin A, protein, potassium, zinc, iodine, nucleic acids and enzymes which aid digestion. Ninety-five percent of the nutritional content in watermelon is in the rind. The seeds may be a little noisy but are harmless to the juicer.

You may be curious about the name. When you put a sloppy wet piece of watermelon in the juicer it comes out like Niagara Falls. Because watermelon is a great diuretic, your kidneys and bladder will experience a honeymoon of youthful health.

If you are short on money, watermelon juice is the ticket. You can add just about anything to watermelon juice, so again, we encourage you to have some fun.

This juice recipe has become our favorite drink. Stunningly refreshing and full of flavor. Has more than 15,000 I.U. of vitamin A and over three times the vitamin C content of an apple. It also contains myoinositol, a lipid which helps with anxiety, insomnia and in battling hardening of the arteries. It also contains the greatest amount of digestive enzymes. Melons are recommended by the American Cancer Society as powerful agents in the fight against intestinal and skin cancer. Cantaloupe contains approximately 100 calories, yet it is dense in nutrients. This makes melon a perfect food for healing and weight loss. Delicious, filling and low in calories.
