Before you reply, please quote someone other than the FDA, NEJM, FTC, FASEB, Ajinomoto, Monsanto, WebMD, or any of the other groups someone would normally associate with lying the public about things like Vioxx, Aspartame, Processed Free Glutamic Acid (MSG/Monosodium Glutamate), Fen Phen, and the like. I already know much of the industry rhetoric about as well and the people who wrote it. What I’m looking for is information from research independent of the corporations like Campbells Soup, Ajinomoto, Monsanto, G D Searle, etcetera. I would like information from people who who have taken an "honest" scientific look at stuff. Can anyone here help me learn something today?LloydFromUtah56https://www.blogger.com/profile/11123158028292925849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-12936666199557670792007-11-11T11:37:00.000-05:002007-11-11T11:37:00.000-05:00Treat Cancer with Flavonoids:www.treat-cancer.nlTr...Treat Cancer with Flavonoids:<BR/><BR/>www.treat-cancer.nl<BR/><BR/>Treat-Cancer.nlTreat-Cancer.nlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832156095967996137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-38623216877821881262007-11-06T19:10:00.000-05:002007-11-06T19:10:00.000-05:00What is the name of the juicer you are using to ma...What is the name of the juicer you are using to make your green drinks?

The extra fiber really helps to fill me up and keep my blood sugar stable, as I am hypoglycemic.<BR/><BR/>I bought a Oster "Fusion" Blender for around $60, and it is AMAZING. It chops SO finely that it is practically "juice" when I add some ice and water (I also use protein powder and nutrional yeast, which thicken it. All you have to do to clean it is blend hot water with some dish soap! Check it out on Amazon, but you can also get it at Target, etc. Just make sure to get the "Fusion" model.<BR/><BR/>This has been my fav. recipe so far. The recipe makes 64oz, which amounts to 4 12-oz "meals" that I pour over ice (I drink 1 or 2 a day)<BR/><BR/>1 avocado<BR/>1 cucumber<BR/>1 apple<BR/>1 celery stalk<BR/>2 carrots<BR/>1 handful of kale<BR/>1 handful of spinach<BR/>4 scoops of protein powder (23g protein each)<BR/>4 tsp psyllium husk powder<BR/>4 Tbl. Brewers or Nutritional yeast<BR/>4 Tbl. cold pressed flax seed oil<BR/>8 oz filtered H20<BR/>1 handful of ice<BR/><BR/>The protein powder that I use is 100% Whey, with cocoa, sweetened with sucralose (yes, I know...but artifical sweeteners are gonna be the last thing for me to break. I love my diet sodas). I'm not sure how Whey factors into this lifestyle of eating, but it's what I had at home already. If Kris or someone else can let me know, it would be much appreciated!! <BR/><BR/>I hope this helps!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995051763740262009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-67910163561397633332007-11-02T11:45:00.000-04:002007-11-02T11:45:00.000-04:00The "Oz blend" is similar to the Green Lemonade fr...The "Oz blend" is similar to the Green Lemonade from Natalia Rose's book which I make regularly in a breville juicer and love it. <BR/><BR/>My question is though, are you "juicing" these in a the breville or blending them in a vita mix? Have you talked yet about the pros cons of each? I love the juicer but feel like I waste a lot of veggie (and thus $$) by filtering out the pulp. I am wanting to make some "smoothies" in the blender instead but my blender just doesn't get it done with all the greens, is the vita mix really worth it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220510271160786685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-68969402814518140822007-11-02T00:15:00.000-04:002007-11-02T00:15:00.000-04:00Hi!I really want to learn how to eat healthy too a...Hi!<BR/><BR/>I really want to learn how to eat healthy too and I want to try those smoothies, but I have a sily question.

Basically, my urethra is inflammed and won't settle down, and I feel like I have to go the the bathroom 24 hours a day. I have charged up thousands on meds and doctor's visits to no avail. I was inspired by your show, and now I need to take action to heal my body. I am getting married next summer and cannot live with this misery anymore! SO, I took my fine ass to Target and found a Juiceman on clearance for $12.98! Thanks, Kris for posting these recipies -I am off to Whole Foods to get the grub. I wanted to ask about Candida - how do you get tested? I am also very intrigued about this acid v. alkaline diet thing. I have been off what I considered to be acidic drinks because they make the urinary problem hit the roof, but I did not realize until now that so many of the other foods I eat might be acidic. I would like to start charting my urine pH along with a diary of how bad I am feeling - maybe the two are related? Where would I get some pH strips on the fly today?<BR/><BR/>Thanks to you for serving as a positive example to the rest of us!<BR/><BR/>Evlogeite!Green Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06711887916495797773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-73006325223681678302007-10-28T11:51:00.000-04:002007-10-28T11:51:00.000-04:00Hey Kris...

It was around $60, and an unbelievable bargain! It has a reversible motor and a setting specifically for making juice drinks. It starts slow, then speeds up at intervals and reverses direction to ensure that everything is pulled to the blades. It's much quieter than many high-power blenders. I've used Vita-Mix blenders, and think that this is the next best thing, if not better, for its value, power, settings, construction, etc. It's also very easy to clean.<BR/><BR/>Happy blending!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995051763740262009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-86243718528273760682007-10-27T18:25:00.000-04:002007-10-27T18:25:00.000-04:00Kris,I just bought my first juicer and I am so psy...Kris,<BR/><BR/>I just bought my first juicer and I am so psyched! I cannot wait to try it out as soon as I open it up. Found a Breville at Bed, Bath & Beyond for a good deal. <BR/><BR/>I met you in Denver and I am still in awe of the woman you are and the light you shine on all of us. Thank you for being our angel.<BR/><BR/>You have been a huge inspiration in my life in such a short time. I am now on my way to going back to school for holistic nutrition through NTI here in Denver. This has been a passion of mine for years but fear has stood in the way. Your light has obliterated that fear! <BR/><BR/>I have a great website that sells beautiful medallions - it is called www.lilitah.com I am wearing one of her medallions (I was muscle tested to see which symbols I "needed"). I could feel the difference immediately. She blesses each one before they leave her...<BR/><BR/>Here is what they are: "Lilitah sacred symbols contain frequencies that work with your body's natural energy, raising the vibration of that energy to encourage healing, harmony, and manifestation. The simple act of placing these symbols around yourself, your home, your children and so on can bring about the shift in your life that many of us desire and need so desparately. <BR/><BR/>Life is about celebration, and one thing in each of our lives that we all can celebrate is personal development - the breaking of old patterns and the implementation of new, better and more beneficial ones. Lilitah sacred symbols offer a set of tools that have been shown to help facilitate this wonderful and thrilling process."<BR/><BR/>You are the absolute BEST Kris. <BR/>Peace and Veggies right back at 'ya!<BR/>KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748364822437541897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-44516205861649655222007-10-27T15:10:00.000-04:002007-10-27T15:10:00.000-04:00ps to dream secret,have you tried a Champion Juice...ps to dream secret,<BR/><BR/>have you tried a Champion Juicer or an Omega 8000?

In past couple years, spurred on by an increasingly sensitive stomach and some minor depression, have inched from consuming the SAD and too much wine toward a meat-free, dairy-free, alcohol-free existence. I'm heading toward 80/20, but have a few challenges:<BR/><BR/>•weight. I am naturally very thin. (115 pounds; 5-foot-6) I don't wish to lose any weight.<BR/><BR/>•lightheadedness in mornings if I don't eat enough. The foods that relieve the lightheadedness for me seem to be acid-forming. I strive for raw mornings, but need to conquer the lightheadedness. <BR/><BR/>After your blog today, I'm hoping hemp protein and an avocado may be the answer! (I've been doing fruit/green smoothies--a la Victoria Boutenko--and am eager to go more green.)<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the mental health aspects of your blog. Cleaning up my diet and making sure I get in a couple-mile walk every day has done wonders for my serenity, but I'm ready to kick it up a notch!<BR/><BR/>Got myself the hemp protein and green essence today and am eager to fire up the Vitamix in the morning with your smoothie concoction. I'll be going light on the powders to start with, just to make sure my body warms up to them okay.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453224709964716474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-7913352154316980012007-10-27T00:27:00.000-04:002007-10-27T00:27:00.000-04:00Dream secret- I find your story very inspiring too...Dream secret- I find your story very inspiring too :)julshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252535263113651024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-15438587846160111572007-10-27T00:11:00.000-04:002007-10-27T00:11:00.000-04:00Dear Kris,I wanted to post this before but I felt ...Dear Kris,<BR/>I wanted to post this before but I felt like I didn't know what to say without saying a whole lot but I decided to just put this out there and say what is in my heart and I will go from there. I am 32 and married 9 years with no kids. I am living with Crohn's disease or Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I was diagnosed at 25 after years of sickness. Which is a little different dealing with a Chronic illness that might not kill you in fact you will most likely live with it for a long time. I am on a ton of meds and feel just lost. I am losing my hair and my mind I think literally. I talked to my GI about nutrition and they have the nerve to tell me that my DIET has nothing to do with my DIS-EASE. WHAT! That can't be right. I had a juicer that I tried to use because I can't really eat raw or even cooked veggies. I have a narrowing in my intestines which makes stuff hard to get through BUT juice I thought I could do. However, juicers are hard to clean and after a few weeks of trying my best it now sits in the garage feeding many dust mites everyday. I want to get a new one so I am thinking I might go to Target this week and see what I see (I will share the info with you too good or bad...I know you are on the prowl for a great juicer). I just wanted to tell you how beautiful you were on Oprah. I love what you said about her. I had a mentally ill mother so sometimes I think of Oprah as that universal mom we all never had...what an honor to be on her show and I like you journal everyday and visualize and Oprah is on my radar. Never give up your dreams right. I just wanted you to know how amazing it has been to have this new outlook. I might have Crohn's but I want to be the best me I can be. I want to go back to my childhood dream of being a stand-up comic (which I have been working on for over a year) and get out in the world and make the sick people laugh. I have so much more to say but for now just know you have inspired me to live fuller and wiser and happier. Thank you for your spirit. I think Crohn's has been a blessing for me too. Sometimes you need something to show you how strong you really are before you believe it. I know that is how it was for me. Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are a white light for all of us. Many blessings to you and yours. Congrats on the marriage. It is pretty great being married...like a sleep-over with your best friend every night. <BR/>Much Love,<BR/>Ruth Ann RichDream Secrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500992769319059488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-11721777536622107562007-10-26T23:59:00.000-04:002007-10-26T23:59:00.000-04:00Kris...I stumbled onto Crazy Sexy Cancer on TLC th...Kris...<BR/>I stumbled onto Crazy Sexy Cancer on TLC the other night while I was looking for something to watch.
