This is part two of the interview conducted by Sam Biser ( " Biser " )

and Dr. Richard Schulze, N.D., M.H., quoted from

Juice radishes to cleanse the liver.

 

SCHULZE: If you want to add a juice in to stimulate the liver more,

all the radishes work real well.

 

Some people talk about the black radishes, or other kinds, but you

can use the red radishes and even use wild radishes you have growing

wild in the United States. Remember, where you have mustard growing,

you also have wild radish growing.

 

You can even pick the pods off, or use the radish leaves or sprouts,

but radishes of all types stimulate the liver and clean it out. As

far as bad digestion, I've seen a lot of people helped in their

digestion with celery and cabbage juices.

 

BISER: You mean cabbage juice doesn't cause gas?

 

SCHULZE: No. Cabbage is a great cleanser and healer to the digestive

tract. I've seen a lot of people with ulcers and digestive problems

have great results drinking cabbage and celery juice.

 

Cabbage juice is excellent and I've had patients drink about 8

ounces of cabbage juice a day in one ounce doses. It can be mixed

with other juices too. The celery juice works really nice to cool

the system, especially with ulcerative conditions.

 

It's important with vegetables, but especially fruit, if you're not

getting organic, you need to wash it. Use a little bit of soap and

water, a good natural soap and even a scrub brush, because most of

the sprays and things are put right on the fruit themselves.

 

[Editor: For juice-fasting, you can obtain organic vegetables by

mail from: Walnut Acres, Penns Creek, PA (800)433-3998]

 

 

Leukemia: A man regenerates his bone marrow with months of juice-

fasting.

 

SCHULZE: I had a man with leukemia. He had fairly severe leukemia.

He had undergone a couple different treatments and a couple shots of

chemotherapy. He felt so horrible, he said that dying would be

better than his experience on the chemotherapy.

 

He quit the chemotherapy, and came to me right away. He wanted to do

something quite radical and I turned him onto juice fasting. He

really got into it.

 

The first month he didn't get any better. In fact, some of his blood

counts were even worse. Then, he ate a little bit of raw foods, took

a break for about a week. Then he went back onto a juice fast and

the second month he was stabilizing and some of his blood counts

were coming up. Then he went back on some raw foods and health

building.

 

Then we went into a third month of juice fasting - and that's when

we really saw the big changes.

 

His blood chemistry changed dramatically. He didn't start really

showing the cancer changing greatly until the end of the second

month and into the third month, but, by the fourth to fifth month he

was clean.

 

BISER: Why do you think in the first month his blood counts got

worse in spite of . .

 

SCHULZE: Well, I think because he was so sick. He had spent 40

years - he was about 55 years old - but he spent about 40 of those

years basically trying to kill himself...

 

BISER: What do you mean, trying to kill himself?

 

SCHULZE: Well, you know with his food program, no exercise, high

cholesterol, family history...

 

BISER: You mean the numbers had a downward trend and you couldn't

stop them, right?

 

SCHULZE: Yes, and a lot of people expect that, the minute they take

three herb capsules and stop eating for a day, their disease is

going to start to go away.

 

BISER: What juices did you use to build his blood?

 

SCHULZE: When people are thinking about building that blood, I like

beets and beet greens. So go to your organic market, but make sure

you get your greens.

 

In some studies, I've seen the beets and beet greens analyzed. They

have three times the iron in the beet greens than in a beet root,

and sometimes, I've seen it the other way around. But greens are

loaded with different minerals than the beets have. Together, they

are a perfect food. The beet and the beet greens, added to the

carrot juice, is the one that I use with patients that have had

either a lot of blood loss due to surgical trauma, or from cancer,

where the body won't build blood any more.

 

When you start getting that beet and beet greens in, along with the

carrot juice, you see a big change. Now if you want to build the

blood, the extra juices to remember, the fruit ones, are the dark

blue, red and purple - that would be raspberries, blackberries and

blueberries or prunes, plums and cherries - these are all the super

blood builders.

 

They are loaded with iron, and you start getting a blue purple

juice, and you start drinking that, and now you have the fruit blood

builders.

 

 

Getting children to drink healthy juices.

 

BISER: How do you get kids to get on juices for their health?

 

SCHULZE: The way I got the kids started was making apple juice in

the juicer - and just throwing one carrot through.

 

You start out with about 90 percent apple and 10 percent carrots and

the kids will eventually start drinking that like it's perfect. When

they really get used to it, then go up to 20 percent of carrot and

80 percent apple and just work that ratio till you get it about 50-

50.

 

A lot of people might say that is a vegetable and a fruit

combination, but every juice specialist seems to agree that the one

food combining exception with fruits and vegetables is carrot with

apple.

 

 

Juices help thin people gain weight.

 

BISER: Wouldn't a juice fast be bad for people who are underweight?

 

SCHULZE: No - it's how I brought people's weight back, even when

they had AIDS.

 

I had a man come to see me that had a complete turn around and he

had a T-cell count which would fluctuate between five and twenty-

five, depending on when they took it. That's about as low as it gets.

 

He had loads of opportunistic AIDS infections. We started him on

juice fasting right away.

 

This is one I want to talk about - because he was quite thin and a

lot of people think " I can't juice fast or I'll lose weight. " I've

had people gain weight on juice fasting and this man was one of them.

 

He started juice fasting and started gaining weight and people

asked, " How is that? " It's very simple. A lot of food that people

eat, they can't assimilate. When you are sick, your digestion, your

assimilation and elimination doesn't work very well. But, you start

putting juices in your body, and you'll see the weight come back.

This is why I call juices " the natural healers IV. " --it's like a

hospital I.V. naturally. Within a couple of weeks, from juices and

the other programs I used, the man's T-cell count was over a

thousand.

 

BISER: How much weighs did he gain?

 

SCHULZE: I think he gained about 15 pounds in the first couple

months, and he was mainly on a liquid diet.

 

BISER: You would think he'd lose twenty-five pounds.

 

SCHULZE: Absolutely. But now he was getting nutrition that he

couldn't get, so I think the main thing I've really come to see is

that juice fasting builds blood, and I believe personally that it

turns on the bone marrow.

 

Fresh citrus juices with their rind are great liver cleansers

 

 

SCHULZE: The bitter oils in citrus are big time liver cleansers.

They disinfect and create more bile flow. And you have to get in the

rind, which contains pectin. Run that rind through your juicer or

your Vita-Mix.

 

I look at citrus more as kidney and liver cleaning. It's also very

effective for cleaning the blood and joints, like with arthritis.

 

Removing parasites with fruits.

 

SCHULZE: I remember my first bowel cleanse, because I didn't know

about herbs yet. I drank two quarts of apples, fresh squeezed apple

juice, and a quart of fresh made prune juice.

 

Not only did I have parasites, but I had casing from my colon. I

also had all sorts of dark flecks of things of old come out of my

bowel. That was my first bowel cleanse.

 

BlSER: Just from fruit?

 

SCHULZE: Just from fruit.

 

BISER: But you took more of it. Most people don't take enough to

cause parasites or anything else to come out.

 

SCHULZE: No, they don't. Take two quarts of apple and a quart of

prune as your juice for the day on a juice fast and you will notice

a dramatic bowel cleanse.

 

You can also make fig water by just taking figs and putting them in

a blender with water. The problem is that a lot of people eat dried

prunes and dried figs. They are constipating.

 

On a juice fast you should only have the juices that come out of the

juicer. You should have no pulp at all. The pulp that's in most

fruit is fiber that's not digestible. All it does in a juice fast is

it might cause your digestive tract to work a little bit more.

 

BISER: Okay, so a juicer would be slightly preferable.

 

SCHULZE: Yes, it would. If you're doing your fast to really shut

down your digestive tract and to really put all your body's energy

into healing something, yes- avoid the pulp.

 

However, if you are using a juice fast to clean your bowel out,

you're better off with the pulp, because it activates the digestive

system, and, of course, this will give you bowel movements

 

The number one mistake people make on a juice fast.

 

BISER: Why do so many people fail to get results on juice-fasting?

 

SCHULZE: It's because they don't cleanse their colon before they do

it. Every day, have that bowel flushed out, and a person might want

to use herbs for a couple of days and then do it with enemas; see

the difference; see what happens and experiment that way.

 

High enemas are also something to do during a juice fast, to get all

the pulp and solid bits out of our system and they work very nice

too. But, the main thing is, during a fast you need to have your

bowels work every day. They don't have to work necessarily three

times a day.

 

With some people they're bowels will work seven times a day,

depending on the person, but those who have a tendency towards

slower, sluggish, sleepy bowels, they can go on a fast for a week

and not have a bowel movement at all, so they don't want to do that.

 

Use powdered super foods during a fast.

 

SCHULZE: Fasting can be even more powerful when people maximize

their nutrition. Super nutrition can cause the body to detoxify more

by flushing your body with vitamins and minerals, and it can also

build your blood faster.

 

So, I always suggest people add super foods to their juice fast.

Some of the best ones are spirulina and chlorella.

 

If someone can't get fresh wheat grass, you can use wheat grass

powder, barley grass powder and alfalfa grass powder or alfalfa

herb. They're detoxifying, and they have vitamins and minerals. I

usually, once a day during a fast, tell people to add some of these

particular foods to their fruit smoothie.

 

Sea weeds are also good. You can get sea weed powders in the health

food stores like Dulse or Kelp. I have many patients that have

fasted using the nutritional yeast too. I've really seen the results

when people have done a juice fast on just juices and a juice fast

using super food powders.

 

BISER: You mean they feel a lot better.

 

SCHULZE: Well, they have a lot more energy when they do it on super

foods - and it can also cause the body to purge and eliminate more.

It builds the blood faster.

 

Heart patients need juice-fasting.

 

BISER: Some people say a heart patient should never do a fast. It

would be a strain on the system.

 

SCHULZE: That's the first thing a heart patient should Do - a juice-

fast. The first thing is stop eating, because 99 percent of the time

the heart patient's blood cells are like mud and their coronary

arteries are congested.

 

When the circulation is that bad, even becoming a vegetarian won't

unclog the blood. You have to do a juice fast to thin the blood back

to a healthy state.

 

BISER: What does it feel like when the blood is thick?

 

SCHULZE: When you feel very sluggish, you feel - full, bloated, not

only in your digestion, but you run two blocks and you're sweating

and you just feel full of fat.

 

You feel it. You feel like blood doesn't even want to pump around

your body. You are breathing heavy. Then you stop eating - and it's

just the greatest cure for anything, just stop eating. Stop eating

food and get the juicer going.

 

 

How I helped my heart disease with long fasts.

 

BISER: I know from your beginnings that you weren't always such a

believer in juice fasts?

 

SCHULZE: Oh no. I took lots of vitamins and mineral pills. I didn't

realize that when you thin your blood, you improve your circulation

to every capillary in your body.

 

So, I did my first fast and didn't expect much. But when I finished,

I felt so much better, I said, " Wow, this is something that is much

more powerful than anyone ever told me. "

 

I remember, I did a fast for about a week. Then one for about ten

days. Then I thought, okay, " I'm going to do a thirty-day fast and

see what happens. "

 

That was probably the biggest change that I had in my health, and

this was early on, when I was living in New York, and I did that

thirty-day fast. I think that after the first couple days, I never

felt a heart palpitation from that point on. I never felt my heart

dysfunctioning. It was like the missing link in my health program

that I hadn't seen.

 

Then, about a year later, I did a two-month fast. That one was

really life transforming to me. I have barely had a down day since

then.

 

What I suggest to most of my patients is, two or three days fast in

the middle of five days of raw foods, once a season. That's what my

five day program is.

 

" But to anybody who came to me dying - when you're dealing with

someone who has a life-threatening situation, stop all food. "

 

SCHULZE: Many of my patients walked in the door and they had done

just about every program under the sun, and sometimes even all at

once or almost at once, but they hadn't really fasted.

 

Many people are afraid to fast. They are afraid of the one treatment

that can cure them. We have this old American idea, that we need to

have that bacon and eggs breakfast to get us going, and, of course,

that's one of the things that gets us dead. I always called that the

heart attack plate.

 

BISER: I thought before I met you that juices were mainly a feel

good, wellness kind of thing, but not powerful enough for serious

diseases.

 

SCHULZE: Many people feel that way. I myself thought that way -

until I started investigating the classic old healers.

 

BISER: So, this is the therapy that people never do?

 

SCHULZE: That's right. Everybody in America, we have this conveyor

belt that's going from the health food store or the herb shop into

our mouth, and we think, " Well, it's chromium and kola nut. "

 

Or it's goldenseal. Or it's garlic. Or it's cayenne. Or it's a

colonic. We're all looking for something more, but very few people

actually stop eating. The old herbalists didn't have the juicers.

Juicers weren't a common household item back then. But nowadays -

everybody should have a juicer.

 

Food is the foundation of healing.

 

But doctors are unbelievable. According to them, drugs are the

foundation of healing. And according to the healthfood people,

vitamin tablets are. They're all wrong. Food is.
