This claim is total nonsense and shows you don't know anything about clinical nutrition or biochemistry.<BR/><BR/>I'm a medical writer who started to study nutritional science nine years ago and it appals me when people who simply don't have a clue about it mindlessly echo claims like that they hear from equally clueless nutrition "gurus". I find it very irresponsible to post such misinformation.

Whatever vegetables you like to eat you can juice. It tastes the same only in liquid form. I like celery, squash, swiss chard and green beans, with a little curly parsley. On occasion I add 1/2 an apple or a carrot. Kris, you have brought the subject to so many people who otherwise wouldn't be interested.

She had major surgery to remove all of her rectal parts because of a tumor. She now has a bag, the drs said she has tumors in her liver and lungs, but they are not affecting any function yet.<BR/>Why are you not doing any treatmant at this time? I know you can't advise anyone about what they should or shouldn't do as far as chemo is concerned, but my sister really fears the chemo and all that goes with it. My family is new to this cancer thing and we just don't know how to handle it all.

My question to you and others is.....I WANT TO JUICE....but I am so confused at reading all the reviews, I cannot make a decision. I want one thats fast and easy to clean up. Cost is not a factor. I want the best. Which is the best? and does is the best actually a juicer, blender or mixer? Thanks.

I read somewhere that too much soy can be a problem with some types of cancers. Soy has been touted as being good for menopause-type symptoms because it contains phytoestrogens, plant-based estrogens. But that might not be appropriate for people with hormone-receptor cancers. Like I said, I'm not a doctor or medical professional, but please check it out before adding lots of soy or those soy-based menopause pills to your diet.<BR/>BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377818006587951577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-61260576957150155642007-10-16T22:10:00.000-04:002007-10-16T22:10:00.000-04:00Thanks posse beauties..Charleen: We shouldn't get...Thanks posse beauties..<BR/><BR/>Charleen: We shouldn't get too alkaline maybe your meds? The body maintains a delicate balance, it's a lot harder to be too alkaline, I would say yours is still ok. If you get over 8, then it is something to look into. EHE cure! Go girl. It is different for all gals with EHE for me (lungs and liver) it acts as a different disease. I can't do the treatment you are on. Oh well. Don't worry about your pH yet, if you have a problem, post on the blog and I'll try to get you in touch with my teacher.<BR/><BR/>Beth- Powders, those would be green powders like, Green Vibrance Brand or a product I used for a while called SuperGreens. They are like freeze dried veggies and they alaklize body, you add pH drops and it really helps. I add to my smoothies.<BR/>Coconut water- do you have a china town? If so you can get lots, you will need a meat clever and watch you fingers doll. You can also use water for your smoothie. I do both, I juice and I make smoothies. Smoothies are in the Vitamix, Juice- The Green Star or the Breville. I also like my cheap one from Target! Was that everything?<BR/><BR/>Night night, 'm feeling under the weather!

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to meet you...beyond exciting! I found you through i2y when I became involved with them....Matt rocks! I am a 6 year breast cancer survivor and when I finished my treatment I really started to look at my life, diet, etc for what I could change to keep myself well with the ever looming cloud of recurrence. It was my way to try to control the fear of the canSer beast I guess. I have been juicing for a few years now and recently bought the almighty Vitamix....Love, love , love it! That machine is incredible! I learned about all this alternative stuff from a holistic healer that I see every week. Never thought about my nutrition before but now I realize that it is what keeps me feeling good. Whenever I fall off the wagon, my body feels it but quick! What I really need to get a hold of is my ever anxious mind! I have a harder time with that. I love your book, and your documentary was great! I am telling everyone I know about your story. I am learning so much more about health and nutrition from you. I look forward to spending time with the crazy sexy posse here on your blog! I also have a breville juicer too....is it a centifugal juicer? which do you think is better....centrifugal or the one like greenstar that is like a press? The cleaning sucks! What about bottled water? I hear all about the plastic not being good for us....My next stop i think will be wheat grass....never tried it. <BR/><BR/>Nana....thanks... I have been wanting to color my hair but dont want to use the chemicals..will have to look into Aveda.<BR/><BR/>Kris, keep u all your great work! <BR/><BR/> You rock girl!<BR/><BR/>Sending hugs your way!Cathy Buetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176782992604138092noreply@blogger.com
