It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many benefits from juicing. There are a couple of articles about Gerson Therapy at http://juicers.organic-knowledge.com/articles_1.html. It seems that a Dr Max Gerson discovered that patients with cancer and other degenerative diseases recovered or showed a marked improvement when they were given superdoses of fruits and vegetables.  Now the thing was, the daily quantities of fruit and veg were so high that patients would be unable to eat the required dose. The only way was to drink the pure juice without the pulp mixed in.

Now you’ve got to remember that the therapy requires you to drink this juice thirteen times per day! That’s a lot of juice and juicing! Seems that only a couple of juicers are suitable: a Norwalk and a Champion. This is because the fruit & veg need grinding into a pulp that is then pressed into juice. And what you get is the best possible juice with maximum enzymes, nutrients, etc.

Anyway, even if you don’t juice with one of these machines, you KNOW that you are doing your body a world of good and warding off all sorts of illness and disease.

Keep with the juicing. Let me know any recipes that are good for specific illnesses or diseases. And let us all now more about the Gerson Therapy if you’ve been on it.

Ciao,

It’s nice to know that this blog is being read (thank you, Ben! ;-)).  Here are a few of my favourite recipes:

o Juice a handful of strawberries or raspberries with a handful of cranberries and one or two oranges and half a lemon. Try varying the quantity and blend of each ingredient.

o Juice 8 carrots and 2 or 3 apples. This has a great taste and is full of really good nutrients. In fact, this is good for Gerson Therapy (see my post on Gerson).

o Juice one grapefruit and one apple. You can also add a little ginger to give some extra spice!

o Juice one orange, three apples, one lemon and three pears. One of my favorites!

Please post a comment showing some of your favorites!
