HEALING WITH JUICES

by Pat Valle

Juicing fresh vegetables and fruits are the richest, most valuable

sources of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Because you need extra

nutrients to help rid your body of everyday environmental toxins,

juicing offers an important alternative that will nourish your body

properly.

Juicing helps your body assimilate many valuable nutrients found

in food. When food is cooked, the enzymes are destroyed by the heat.

Most of the nutritional value is lost. Half your daily intake of

food should be consumed raw.

The late Bircher-Benner, who founded the Bircher-Benner clinic in

England, said that " nothing more therapeutic exists on earth than

green juices. " Nothing is more powerful for healing as fresh raw

juices. Carrots, celery, spinach, cabbage, beets and apples are some

of the most powerful juices for healing. Carrots have been used in

the treatment of all forms of cancer. It is rich in beta carotene,

which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Carrots have tremendous

antioxidants, are good for diarrhea, arthritis, constipation and

colitis. Celery is an excellent source of magnesium and other

important vitamins. It is a natural diuretic, good for high blood

pressure, arthritis, weight loss, dizziness and headaches. Celery

also exhibits a natural relaxing effect. Spinach is loaded with

minerals and is good as a cleansing tonic. It has the ability to

heal the intestinal tract, anemia, hemorrhoids and vitamin deficiencies.

Those who have arthritis, kidney stones or liver disease should

limit their intake of spinach. Cabbage is used in the treatment of

colon cancer. Juicing heals inflammation of the colon, ulcers, s

stomach and heartburn. It is high in calcium, vitamin C, sulfur and

vitamin A. The leaves from the cabbage plant make a great poultice

for drawing out infections and for healing skin ulcers. Beets are

one of the most valuable juices for the liver and gallbladder. It

is very useful for anemia and cancer. It also stimulates the lymph

glands and cleanses the blood. Beet juice should be diluted with

distilled water as the cleansing effect may be too rapid. Apples

help lower cholesterol, aid in liver function and rid the body of

toxic build-up. Apples are rich in pectin which helps bind toxins

and removes them from the body, and also lessens the effects of

exposure to X-rays.

It's best to use organic fruits and vegetables. If you must use

fruits and vegetables which are not organic, make sure to clean

them thoroughly with a produce cleanser or rinse in raw organic

apple cider vinegar with water and soak for 10 to 20 minutes to

remove residue. Many fruits and vegetables are sprayed with toxic

chemicals to prevent insect infestation and to kill fungus and

germs.

Green drinks are quite powerful and may cause nausea and headaches

at first. This is due to rapid detoxification. It's better to

dilute the juice and take only small amounts to start. Green drinks

help detoxify the organs and reduce tumors. You may drink as many

" live " juices as you wish, and you can even combine other vegetables

together. Apples are one fruit that can be combined with vegetables

without causing gas and bloating.

The skins of some fruits such as oranges and grapefruit contain

a toxic substance, it's best to peel them before use. All pits

and some seeds of fruits should be discarded. Apple seeds contain

small amounts of cyanide and should never be used.

When preparing fruits or vegetables for juicing, it's best to

consume them immediately. If you choose to store it for later

use, it should be consumed within 24 hours.
