Re: starting juice fast--any others fasting now?

Hi Muirin,

I've done a bunch of reading and recommend you read Steve Meyerowitz's book Juice Fasting & Detoxification (its available from Amazon.Com for under $10....

It'll answer all your questions and more. Ibelieve the consensus is when you're strictly juice fasting its totally OK to combine fruits and veggie juices together it doesn't present the same problems as when eating solid food. And yes, beets are good as liver purifiers. Lemon juice is good colon purifier and there is so much more. You could basically juice any vegetable you enjoy eating in a sald. When making carrot combos carrots usually predominate. I enjoy mixing my carrot base with other green veg or tomatoes to cut the sweetness tho sometimes enjoy carrot/apple, etc.

Have you gone on line searching for data on juices and their therapeutic effects? I think there's alot available just online.
Nutritional Almanac is another good reference.

I'm on day 5 of my juice fast and its going well; tho still battling some hunger.

Good luck to you and let's stay in touch and support each other.
