Vernal, I couldn't have said it better. I feel so blessed that I came across this forum..... I too have a pulled calf muscle stubbornly refuse to heal. I'm sooooo going to get the deep tissue oil. Sorry to hear abt your mason jar. I myself finally got hold of a dozen of Kerr mason jars after trying 5 diff stores. I have to admit I've been lazy about juicing. Just picked up a bunch of ready-made carrot juice from Trader Joes. They're flash-pasturized, not RAW, RAW, just to tie me over for the past few rough days. Once again thank you for sharing. I always enjoy reading your posts. -tie
