Book on which veg juices are good for which illnesses?

by Judith Wiggans
(Belton, MO)

I know juicing can be dangerous. I want to be a responsible juicer. However, being a beginner, I need a place that tells the ingredients of a veg (vitamins, minerals, etc.) and which ones are best used for certain physical weaknesses.

I fasted at a health clinic in Cleveland, OH in 1999 for 46 days on water. The doc checked our blood once a week, but I still developed a serious chemical imbalance because of this extreme fasting. It almost ruined my life. I also suffer from Pre-diabetes and nerve damage on each side of my spine in my back. No medical help is available. No one knows what caused it. I would like to rejuvinate that condition if possible and work on the pancreas problem.




Sara says:

Dear Judith, drinking juices is not dangerous. It's not doing it responsibly that makes it dangerous. So you are right to want to be a responsible juicer.

Not doing it responsibly means going on prolonged fasting and not knowing/understanding what you're doing. And doing things excessively.

I don't know exactly what damage was done, what caused your problems, nor do I know how you've been doing your fasting or juicing. However, we need to go back to the basics.

Please go this page to understand about a "holistic" approach to health. All the components listed under item # 4. Nutrients, must be fulfilled to have the right "balance" (or in other words, to prevent chemical imbalance).

On top of these, there must also be a way to detoxify the toxins that are being released in your body, when you're on a prolonged fast or juice fast. This could be in the form of colon cleanse, colon irrigation or enema.

As for books, you may check out some recommended books on this page. The book by Dr Norman Walker entitled "Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices" is one that I often refer to. In your case, I suggest you nourish back your health first by starting from square one, that is drinking fresh juices especially green juices.

Be well and God bless! :)

Judith, I will email you my suggestions
by: Sara Ding

Dear Judith,

My heart goes out to you and I'm sorry with what you've had to go through. It looks like you've been on so much medication throughout the years. No wonder that your colon is so sensitive!

As a Nutritionist, I see what your problem is, and I don't think it's a very difficult problem at all. You will be surprised with the results if you would do what I suggest. I will be suggesting a natural remedy and let your body heal by itself.

This space is too limited for my answers. I will email to you my suggestions later today, and I would like you to keep in touch with me and let me know how you go.

Be blessed!

Complications
by: Anonymous

Thank you so much for your wonderful response and your concern for my condition. Unfortunately it leaves me a little discouraged for the following reasons (yet unknown to you).

I have suffered from severe hypoglycemia which lead to unbearable colon spasms for more than 50 years. The entire trunk of my body will fill up with inflammation, leaving me in such pain, I cannot explain it in words. The colon specialists just told me there was nothing they could do for me, even tho I could have died from the inflammation. That is what forced me into the clinic for fasting ... which lead to the chemical imbalance.

It took 7 psychiatrists 2 1/2 years to finally diagnose me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. You cannot imagine 2 1/2 yrs of HELL with no help. I could not even take care of myself. Due to this illness I must take 600mg of Neurontin, X4 per day.

My colon is so sensitive, I cannot even take lecithin. The slightest stimulate puts me in bed. I have tried colon cleansing a couple of times. NO WAY can I do that. I have proved that I could fast before the GAD, but now my complication is this. With "must-take" meds for GAD, Depression & Colon spasm control, I am dumping radicals into my system while not being able to fast. I guess I never expect to be perfectly well, just hoping to ward off aging problems, cancer, alzheimers, etc. I have already succeeded in keeping my blood sugar level by drinking juices every 3 to 4 hrs. This has kept my colon from spasming. So, you see what I have to deal with.

I will be 68 next month. I look 50 (so they tell me), yet have all this to deal with. God has helped me immensely to recover from the GAD to almost a normal life. I have memory loss from it and am fragile under pressure, but by His grace I manage. I appreciate all your time and effort on my part. I know this probably leaves you with no answers, but any suggestions will be richly appreciated. God bless you.
