Refeeding and Juice thoughts.

I have some thoughts about water fasting, refeeding, and what should not be juiced.

1) I have read that when one refeeds, what they eat is what rebuilds the new cells, and the full effectiveness of the fast can be finalized or ruined right there.

Does that mean one should stay raw vegan for as LONG as possible after the fast? All prior literature seemed to say that the ramp up, despite starting with fruits and vegetable juices, can be increased to all other foods in 3 days or so. But for cell rebuilding, it would be intuitive that raw vegan should continue for 10+ days (or even permanently, if possible).

2) I don't think leafy greens should be juiced. They should be eaten in full form. This is because they produce too little juice anyway, meaning that most nutrients remain in the pulp. Chlorella tablets are healthy, obviously without any moisture, which tells us something about the value of eating the entire green leaf. Plus, I recently went a day where I ate only spinach, with a small amount of carrots and tomato (although not organic). Elimination was great the next morning, with no 'green' tint or anything.

3) Onion juice (first thing in the morning, and then nothing else for 1 hour) is very effective in improving health. I think everyone should be doing this daily, *before* you have any disease. The onion pulp is useful in a myriad of other things as well. You can even rub it on your scalp to thicken hair, if there is some juice left in it.

It is not easy to drink, but gets easier with practice. I am more impressed with someone who can drink a glass of onion juice than someone who can chug a shot of hard liquor (not to mention the health benefits of the former vs. the latter). But onions have a lot of juice, and are cheap (and organic is not necessary for onions). Do it. Tweet
