this is a very good book. Has a lot of healthy juice recipes. I like the fact that it tells you what vegetables are good for what ails you. Would recommend this for Juicing for health.
Thank you June 3, 2009

This book is not one you would necessarily curl up next to a fire and read. It is a reference book, not a novel. The front of the book has two separate "indexes" for you to refer to. One lists the fruits and veggies and then a brief description of its use and the page for further details. The second lists ailments/conditions and the fruit/veggie to help the condition along with the page numbers for further reading on those ingredients. He gives a lot of information. You need to remember that these are not magical elixirs of life. You need to make an over-all change to your daily habits. If you are a fast-food junkie, just grabbing a glass of juice occasionally is going to be a futile gesture at best.
Regarding juicers: it's true that he is a firm believer in using a blender rather than a juicer. You are able to use a juicer if you prefer though. Don't shy away just because you do not have a high-powered blender. I have done the recipes both ways. I find when I use a regular juicer that I have so much waste that I am disappointed. I have come to prefer my high-powered blender (Bosch) as well. Some days I leave it thick and others I strain the juice to remove the pulp depending on my mood. Clean up of the blender is FAR easier than a juicer. (I still use a citrus juicer for citrus though.)Juicers need to be disassembled, etc. I just rinse and go with my blender.
High powered blender? Well, I do not have a vitamix. Yet. I use my Bosch, which is a step lower than the vitamix. The primary difference between blenders is the texture that you can achieve of the final product. If you are using a cheap blender, you are often going to have a very course/lumpy finished product. (ie, you will have applesauce rather than apple juice, but unless you strain it, you will have a really creamy apple juice/sauce with a vitamix as well) My blender gets things really smooth and does a great job, but the vitamix can take it even further, creating silky textures that a cheap blender can never hope to achieve. If you have a cheap blender, you may want to try using a juicer for a more pleasant texture experience. It is about your preference. When I have courser items to blend, I often add filtered water to make it more like a malt texture. I believe he also suggests that in the book.
This is a great book to start with. It gives you good information that you can expand on if you wish. You will be more satisfied with the results if you are planning an overall healthy eating plan though. If you just start by replacing your breakfast with a giant glass of fresh juice or a smoothie, that is a great start. And eat as many fresh fruits and veggies as you can with your other meals and snacks.
If you absolutely can not stand the flavor of a veggie, try 1 part veggie and 2 parts fruits to get started. Eventually your tastebuds will adjust to the flavor and you will be able to use less or maybe even no fruits at all in the mix. It is better than throwing in the towel and not trying at all because you are repulsed by the flavor, right? Google freedomyou , it has some really tasty juice recipes as well.
It is also important to let your doctor know what you are doing if you are on special prescription drugs. Your body may respond favorably to the fresh juices/fruits/veggies if you are making a significant change to your eating habits. For example, you MAY have lower blood pressure after a short time and if you are still taking a full dose of blood pressure medication that could be a problem. Unless your doctor knows what you are doing, he or she may think that there is another problem lurking. Keep your doctor abreast of what you are doing so that they will be on the same page as you.
Here's to your great health!

It's a great book for learning what foods can benefit you in personal ways that you, or friends and family may need, or just want! It covers a variety of health issues, and is a very informative and educational book! I love it! I'd recommend it to anyone who likes bettering their health, in delicious ways. It also offers alot of recipes too!

Most of the book gives you information on specific fruits and veggies and what ailments they are supposed to alleviate. The basis for most of the claims are based on his travels to different parts of the world and from the "folk" medicine he came across. I don't think that folk medicine is completely without merit, but I also don't think it should be the total basis of recommendations for treating certain diseases. additionally, if want recipes for juicing, you'd better have a vitamix machine because all the recipes he provides are for use in that particular machine. I bought an omega juicer and all the recipes in the book are useless to me.
