Yes, ma'am, the juicing "fanatics" have several strong points: 1)as another said, the nutrients are concentrated, & much more accessible than in the whole veggies; 2) veggies should be more prevalent than fruit, as they cause a milder fluctuation in the glycemic index, & often offer more nutrition; 3)The energy (lots!)used for digestion of whole foods is largely conserved by juicing, making it available for the many needs of the already weakened patient; 4)another consideration, that the liver will finally have the energy/resources to unload toxins, points to the need for even MORE frequent bowel movements,
which may be encouraged via psyllium("metamucil")
ingestion, alternated with meals, as often as necessary to keep-'em-goin'! 5)In this same vein, we need to move so our lymph system can; so those who will not/cannot exercise(one briskly walked mile per day, min.)should obtain a
homeopathic lymph stimulant(resources available, local & by mail)6)juicing will help elevate the cellular pH, an esential for those with cells-gone-crazy; 7)will also provide lots of fluids, and not quite so much water needs be drunk(especially if one dilutes the juice with PURE H2O, for better digestion) 8)please also remember that juice is food, and does still need to be mixed with salivary enzymes, so the stomach
acid may activate them! 9)God bless, and keep your attitude up; with a good attitude, everything works; without it nothing does! Sincerely, Michael M.
