juicing

I didn't have the energy to do juicing everyday although I do make a veggie broth that I love.

Regarding juicing—I was a juice fiend for a few months when I started out with my lyme & co treatment. But I would frequently end up with diarrhea and headaches. There was so much going on at the time that it was tough to narrow this down but when I did some research, I learned that you can easily overdose on juices! I had no idea.

But, the point of juicing is to get concentrated vitamins and minerals and all the good stuff from many veggies/fruits into one concentrated drink. And that can overwhelm some people who cannot process that much all at one time (especially those of us with methylation and detox issues caused by DNA mutations). So, it was recommended that you drink no more than 8 oz per day.

Thanks! Agreed on the overdosing... how do you make dandelion juice and whats it for? I would like something good for detoxing

I'm writing from my phone, but that should have read "I started juicing beets"

I wish I could have a drink of beer!!

I do lots of greens, lettuce, spinach, kale, dandelion...I also do fennel to help with my digestion...and some one wrote on an earlier posts they do several cloves of garlic....so I started to add that....and whoo hoo, a nice big herx!

I have been juicing daily now ever since New Years.

I think 1 avocado, and 1 lemon are the absolute essentials in daily juicing. I also usually use 1 apple and even put in the core which has the seeds. The seeds have many health benefits. Lemons, limes, avovados are excellent choices when you have lyme as there is close to no sugars in these fruits.

I put in my greens first which is arugula, kale, or spinach (I change it up on a daily basis), then I put in the avacado, mix, lemon (I put the lemon whole but cut off the parts of the skin when it went a little bad), and then the cut up apple. Finally I add something cold like frozen fruits but not much usually organic frozen berries or mango (I know sugar not good for lyme but I just add a bit).

I also put in some protein, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and protein mix. Then I add some of my tinctures like japanese knotweed.

And I get a nutritious and delicious product! I feel much better juicing daily.

Actually I just put the whole lemon right in but just cut it up into smaller peices so it all blends better. The skin and the yellow stuff between the skin and fruit actually have loads of health benefits.

Ok! Thanks! I just started using my juicer, got it for Christmas I figured the skins have the best nutrition, I read a detox recipe and it called for beets, thats mostly what im looking for since i just started treatment again
