Going to start an all juice diet

Starting tomorrow, nothing but juice and water of course, for two months if I can pull it off, I will definitely need support on this one at least in the beginning when it's the hardest, I watched a documentary on where a man had a type of urticaria, I also have had cold urticaria since I was about 11 or 12 years of age, along with other crap, anyway, he figured "if my body can heal itself on the outside, why can't it heal itself on the inside?" the way he saw it was, if he got a cut or scrape, as long as he left it alone, his body would heal, over time, why not the inside as well?

So he set off to his doctors office and had all tests ran to make sure he could do it, he was on some medications for his ailments but they gave him the green light to start it, and he did, he learned that he would have to consume a pretty substantial amount of fruits and fresh veggies to get his daily dose, so he juiced it instead and that was the start of his 2 month journey, by the end of the first week, he was noticeably feeling better, more energy, the first few days weren't going as well, he was a bit more tired but he attributed that to detoxing, so, he tackled this demon head on, and fought a good fight, in the end, after two months of juicing, he no longer had his urticaria, and I can tell you from his pictures and video footage, he looked way way healthier in the face after a week, pimples and things started to clear up noticeably on him, even though he was in his early 40's I believe, he still had occasional acne, he also lost I think it was at least 50 pounds, then he introduced foods back into his diet, but healthy ones this time, and said every three months he does nothing but juice for 1 full week, still cured of his urticaria and he also has started exercise by jogging and such.

It made such a huge impact on me and got my wheels turning, I went and bought a juicer and will start a journey of my own to see how it goes, from what I understand, sometimes the food we eat can cause a host of problems including auto-immune disorders, I know I have issues that could only get better by trying this, so I have to do this experiment. I'm going to try for at least 1 week first, and if I feel great by the end of the first 7 days, you bet I'm going in for the long haul, 2 months!

Wish me luck, you guys are going to have to be my support system to keep with it. lol

I hope I have great news to give you all after the first week, and especially if I take it into 2 months.

I want you guys to know what I'm going in with and the outcome of each, I will post pictures and hopefully some video links of my before, during and after, lets see if this stuff really works!

I suffer from:
Rosacea - it flares up randomly, and usually extreme.
Cold Urticaria - allergic to cold air, I break out in hives and wheals until I warm up for a bit.
Cluster Headaches - on the right side of my head, these come on randomly as well.
Sinus Infections - I get these easily.
Allergies - Just started with these last year.
Lymph node Swelling - started last year, in both armpits but usually the right side more often, this comes and goes.
Thyroid Nodules - 6 in total, 1 that is dominant measures about 1 inch in circumference.
Peptic Ulcer.
Gall bladder - surgically removed.
Bladder pain - comes and goes, may be cystitis.
Vaginal imbalance - Since I had bronchitis last year and was on steroids and a host of antibiotics I have had nothing but trouble with yeast and bacterial vaginosis.
Edema - in both legs, pretty badly sometimes, they said it was from having a child, my legs caught the brunt of it.
Seborrheic Dermatitis - back of scalp mostly, in ears, around eyebrows and across cheeks.
Yeast - under both breasts, mostly right breast.
Anxiety.
Potassium/Calcium - both are low.
Anemic - slightly.
Weight - I could lose 50-70 pounds.

I think that's my whole list, if I remember any more I'll be sure to edit, I truly hope this heals most if not all of my major issues, I have faith that it can only get better and that it will truly do me some good, if it does an outstanding job and cures everything, including my potassium imbalances, I will eat my shoe. (not literally) ;)

*puts on warrior face* This is Healing Well!! (Yes, I said it in my best spartan voice!!)

That's what I bought, the Jack Lelane.

Supposedly you don't need to take vitamins while doing this, because the fruits and vegetables provide a super amount, I'll be sure to check in with my doc though to see how it's going.

Best of luck...I am glad to hear that you will be getting the green light from your doctor.

It is true that veggies do have many vitatmins and nutrients...spinach for example which is great as a juice base...has calcium and iron, but your doctor can let you know if you are in need of say a protein suppliment, which you may be lacking with an all vegan/liquid diet.:)

Let us know how it is going soon.

Anyone want to buy a like new Jack Le Lane juicer?

Hi Jessiepooh,

Good luck and I hope it brings healing! I definately think you should check in with your doctor and have someone keep tabs on you though just to be safe.

I definately think diet can play a major role in things. There is a great blog by a psychiatrist who explores all sorts of research on the relationship between diet, health, mood, etc.

Here's her post on probiotics and mood: http://evolutionarypsychiatry.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-evidence-for-gut-brain-connection.html (probiotics can really help with any vaginal and skin issues too)

I also learned this on her blog - that fasting and low-carb low protein diets can stimulate autophagy- that is the process of your cells, like little vaccuum cleaners, breaking down and cleaning out 'gunk' in your system. bacteria that shouldnt be there, cellular debris, etc. for example, autophagy in the brain can help clear brain plaques, and doctors are experimenting with fasting as a way to induce autophagy in the brain: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20534972

anyway, as long as its done safely, I think something like what you are doing could trigger real physiological changes and healing.

I know this is years later, but did you ever try the juice cleanse? I'm going to try Monday.
