My very own friend has healed her own body by switching to a juice diet! She focused for 40 days on her juice diet after her own personal doctor could do nothing to help her.
Ruth Tries a Juice Diet
The Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead DVD is one of the most inspiring and interesting health documentaries we’ve seen! You can get it here
Ruth lives in Pensacola, Florida and found Love, Home and Health by searching for info on the Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
She had migraines and fibromyalgia and was on too many meds.
I commented to her about juicing and the Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead program and how much I believed in it.
LAST WEEK, I got another email from her and this is what she said – copied and pasted here – from my files:
Hey Kay! I made it!!! 40 days yesterday, lost 24 pounds and best of all no neck pain, no fibromyalgia symptoms and no pain meds at all for the whole time! Thanks for your encouragement! How is your leg? Happy Saturday! Be blessed!
And then THIS BELOW is what she posted on her own facebook profile page to her own friends last week. Ruth had been doing the “Thankful Days” postings that are so popular on facebook each November and this was her day 15.”
Day 15 – Today I am thankful that it is Friday, but it is not that it is Friday that makes it special to me. For those of you who do not know, today is a special day for me… today is Day 40 of my 40 day juice fast!!! I made it. NOTHING but freshly juiced vegetables and fruits for the past 40 days. I have lost 23.4 pounds but greater than that I have not had a migraine or neck pain this whole time. I ALWAYS can tell when it is going to rain, but, not the past 3 times cause my neck hasn’t hurt! Thank you to my better half for supporting me on this journey!!!
After she posted the above paragraph on her own profile page many commented. One lady … and I don’t know if this was a friend or relative … but she posted to vouch for Ruth and she said Ruth and her husband had spent a week with them during her juice fast and was not tempted to eat regular food at all.
Ruth also stated that she had not even had as much as a Tylenol since she started juicing 40 days ago.
WHAT a STORY!!!
Ruth said after she got used to juicing a bit … she started making up her own recipes for variety.
Green Juice
I think Joe Cross goes with one main Green Juice.
I was telling Kim this story yesterday and she said she saw Goldie Hawn on TV a while back and someone complimented her on her looks and sharp mind and light hearted personality that she’s kept through the years and she said she credits JUICING for her ‘anti aging’ demeanor. And that she used the same green juice all the time. So I looked online to see if I could find the recipe for Goldie’s green juice and this is what I found:
Goldie Hawn’s Green Juice Recipe
Ingredients:
1 apple, a bunch of kale, spinach, celery, cucumber and parsley.
Place in your favorite juicer and Juice!
NOW…since we’ve juiced for the last 25 years on and off … I’ll have to tell you … I KNOW FOR A FACT that this would be a YUCKY juice
There’s NO NEED to punish yourself if you want to juice and get healthy.
Our favorite juice is Carrot … but I often add apple and spinach and just those 3 things will pack a healing wallop that is UNREAL.
AND we’ve started just this week getting back to daily juicing and I HOPE AND PRAY we stick to it this time. We’re getting to the age now that it’s getting important to do lots of preventative.
JUICING IS the way to go if you want to get healthy. I’m going to also look into the Nutri Bullet. I guess I’ll just buy one and give it a try. We’ve used a Champion Juicer for about 25 years – You can read our review of it here –> Champion Juicer Review and Nutri Bullet Review
UPDATE – September 30, 2016:
Since writing this article in November of 2013 – We have bought the Nutri Bullet (link above) and I LOVE IT!!! And we’ve just recently bought the Breville Juice Fountain BJE200XL – now THAT one is my favorite by far – because it’s so fast to make and clean up after. But with the Champion Juicer you can make juice and put it in glass jars and put the lid on tight and it will hold it’s healing capabilities for 72 hours. With the Breville – you need to drink the juice as soon as you make it. But I’m telling ya – I just can’t say enough good things about any one of the 3 of these. The Nutri Bullet is NOT a juicer – but makes slush or smoothies out of your veggies and you can NOT use carrots in this one unless you really shave them down and run the shavings thru it. But still – even the smoothies are so good and good for you – but I just prefer the juices over the smoothies. More power for their punch in my opinion.
Peace and lots of love – from me to all of you!
Instead of a juicier I just use my blender (although some things you grind up some first) So you have the bulk with it too. I used the excess from the juicer to make muffins or composted it but the blender is much easier. Add juice yogurt whatever to get the consistency you want. I actually prefer the green one to the carrot. But each to their own. I like beets too. Beets /carrots / apples makes a good one. Can add raw honey/ turmeric/ cinnamon
I want to get back to juicing daily. And I need to learn to slow down too – big time. 🙂
