My husband, at the time, would religiously make me a beets cocktail every morning before I went to work. Eventually my husband, the juicer and I parted ways, but the anemia did not. <BR/><BR/>Today I'm thinking juicing would be something I need to add to my regimen for the strict benefit of iron and energy. <BR/><BR/>Iron transfusions from an IV are not fun nor are they healthy. Try sitting in a hospital chair watching a tiny television for 10 hours while everyone is hustling around you. The liquid does flow warm in your veins though which can be kind of interesting. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder.Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983242231443068021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36541745.post-28337110398576106522008-06-16T06:12:00.000-07:002008-06-16T06:12:00.000-07:00Mmm, juice.The last time we used our juicer was to...Mmm, juice.<BR/><BR/>The last time we used our juicer was to make fresh tomato juice for bloody marys.

At first I thought I was imagining it, but eventually the fact that it was a result of his carrot juicing fanaticism was undeniable!<BR/><BR/>I have not juiced in a while, but would like to try it again.

From the little research I've done it looks like the book offers help for type-2 diabetes (I have type-1 diabetes); still, the suggestions are probably healthful for most people. <BR/><BR/>I'm not a raw-food enthusiast. When I eat too much raw food I feel tired and washed out. <BR/><BR/>I am interested, though, in recent research on glyconutrients...Seth Pollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06759557722849508076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36541745.post-27835100543444949362008-06-05T22:23:00.000-07:002008-06-05T22:23:00.000-07:00I get on a juicing kick every so often - though no...I get on a juicing kick every so often - though not nearly enough. But at least twice a year when I do a detox cleanse - working up to a week of juice feasting this round. I will give some of your concoctions a go!<BR/><BR/>I've been doing vegetable/fruit smoothies every morning, which is like juicing, but different. I use hemp seeds, soaked almonds with carrots and apples and spinach, cucumber and whatever fruit I have on hand. My little girls now point to the big box of spinach I have in the fridge and say, "mommy, I want a smoobie!" It's a great way to get them (and me) to eat raw veggies. <BR/><BR/>Seth, have you read Dr. Cousens book about curing diabetes with raw foods and juices? Very interesting indeed. Veggies are powerful little buggers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36541745.post-37462086350836851022008-06-05T19:17:00.000-07:002008-06-05T19:17:00.000-07:00Years ago, I was a true juicing fanatic.

Not just my palms, but my whole body. <BR/><BR/>I hardly ever drank green juice (besides wheat grass); I was all carrot. I sometimes wonder if my fanaticism played any part in my eventual diabetes diagnosis. <BR/><BR/>Juicing can be healthy, but I think one needs to have a healthy reverence for its power (and a keen idea of the sugar content).<BR/><BR/>Green juice is probably the best choice. I spent an entire summer drinking wheat grass every morning. By August I felt like I might levitate.Seth Pollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06759557722849508076noreply@blogger.com
