Start with a dark green leafy base of kale or chard, and add vegetables such as beets, celery, and some lemon for taste or half an apple to sweeten it up a bit. It may not sound delicious, but it actually is, and it is cleansing and purifying to the blood and supports liver function. Chapter 11 contains my juicing recipes that are helpful during your detoxification program." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

For correcting more serious health problems, more can be consumed in lieu of solid food.

Fruit juice should be limited to no more than two glasses daily. Vegetable juice should comprise the majority of juice consumed." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Norman Walker's book on juicing. Many natural approaches to eliminating cancer center on the use of fresh juices. A well-known therapy is The Breuss Cancer Cure, which involves a 42-day fast on nothing but vegetable juices and teas.

Although best taken on their own, various fruit juices can be combined, for example orange and pineapple, apple and prune juices. Take care with watermelon and mango—some people are allergic to them. Supermarket shelves overflow with a mouthwatering assortment of juices but very few of them can be considered fresh and contain too many additives or preservatives to be of much nutritional value. Read the labels carefully." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"As physical therapists and acupuncturists have found in recent years, muscle pain from underuse—due to injury or atrophy—responds well in many cases to electrotherapy, a way of juicing up "tired" In brief, the therapist or acupuncturist uses a TENS machine (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulator) to dispense small pulses of electricity to various areas of the body.

When I looked at other cancer patients I realized the difference between us. I looked healthier, not dull and sallow. I changed physically. Today I am vegetarian, eat fresh fruit and vegetables, and exercise by walking and using a rebounder. I have a veggie kitchen—wheat-daiiy-sugar free—and love my diet. There are so many substitutes for foods I used to crave. Also, I am free of the heaviness of overeating. I invent new recipes." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Gerson did not have any of this scientific knowledge, yet, empirically, he devised a method which ensured that a large range of these compounds would be delivered to the cancer patient intact and in pharmacologically active doses: the intensive fresh juicing regime, with 12 juices daily, one every hour. The juices, which are "whole" juices in that the juicing method ensures virtually nothing is discarded, are also rich sources of vitamin E, carotenoids and retinoids for which an extensive literature and clinical work have demonstrated differentiating and apoptotic effects in cancer." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"I also learned of the variety of wild greens in my yard and began juicing them too. Drinking a quart or more of wild green juice was like taking a power pill. I could not believe that the weeds I was composting were so good for you! When I first began to eat greens, I didn't like them or desire them. I asked my new roommate who had been raw for five years about that. He explained that the salt I was using in my food was satisfying my need for sodium, which greens are high in. I stopped using salt and soon began to desire greens." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Some people hold that fasting on water only is the only way to fast correctly and consider it superior to juicing. Natural Hygiene teachers consider juice fasting to be a misnomer that should be correctly termed juice dieting. For elimination of toxins and healing, Dr. Vetrano explains the superiority of fasting on water only compared to juice dieting: Since the body has to cleanse itself [during a fast], the less interference it has, the better. That is, the less juice, the better." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"They employ minimal refining via juicing and use minimal preserving via dehydration and chilling/freezing, which slow down the enzymatic degradation of fresh foods. Americans eat more processed foods than ever: foods from boxes, cans, bags, jars and the like. Most of these foods have the life force cooked out of them several times over and are loaded with salt and sugar to enhance their taste and preserve them. In addition, most contain excitotoxins, wheat, sugar, salt and other chemicals to enhance taste, create addiction for the consumer, and/or preserve the food." - Susan E.
