Have any of you used a juicer in your healing process?

I have! I admit I don't use it nearly enough - it can be a pain to clean all the parts, but I will say I always feel a really nice boost when I juice.

I think there was a thread or two a while back about this - try searching "juicer" or "juicing" for more information.

I don't have a juicer, but I use a food processor and my blender to make green smoothies. Although, like Borderlyme I have to admit to not using it like I know I should!

By using these methods, you can increase your nutrients and the availability of them greatly! This would help anyone! I would heavily suggest that if you have a juicer or would like to get one that you do!

Make sure you use as much organic stuff for juicing or smoothies as possible...the pesticides stick to the fiber, so smoothies (blender/food processor) are more important to do with organics even than juicing.

In any case, testing shows organic produce has more nutritional content than non-organic (due to the depletion of soil minerals and micro-organisms...the micro-organisms create some of the vitamins).

I have been debating about juicing too. My husband hates juices or so he says.

But I am determined to get better. I actually woke up today feeling better than yesterday. This is day 4 of diet NO sugar, No fake sugar (which I've been doing for a long time now except for Stevia, but now none of that either) limited gluten (only quineoa and oatmeal) lots of nuts, low sugar fruits, protein (all abx free and hormone free, free range or wild caught) and tons of veggies and lots of water. I was a fairly healthy eater before this, so it doesn't feel impossible. Although I have a major sweet tooth, so that has been hard, but I'll do anything to get better.

Anyway, juicing is intriguing to me. I'd love to hear recipes and testimonials if you feel it helps you. I want these flipping bugs out of my system !!!!

Congrats on having a better day, Sleepless!!! turn

If you don't get many responses to your question, you might want to start a new post with a title that includes the request for recipes for juicers. I'm sure you would get quite a few members posting.

I do. Ginger and cabbage are usually always my staple. Lately I've been o a kick with ginger, cabbage, kale, cilantro, green apple, pear and lime. It makes enough for hubby and I and the ginger gives it a kick.
