Good luck Jefe. My chiro attributed my 5z per wk migraines to my gall bladder three years ago. He recommended some liver/kidney flush/gall bladder cleanses but told me that just getting rid of the excess fats in my diet would fix the problem. I switched to a raw diet for three weeks and the migraines disappeared. I've since been on 80% raw food (fruit, veg, nuts, seeds) and haven't looked back. I dropped wheat, dairy, and pork for the first year. Also dropped 50 lbs in the process. I don't juice but will water fast for a week every six months to give the body a chance to do some housecleaning. Over time I've stopped having stomach flus, sinusitis, and joint pain. Most recently I've seen random shooting pains in my feet vanish. You're on the right track!

You aren't cleansing any toxins. That's what your liver is for. In any case, good on you for trying a lifestyle change. I hope you find something sustainable after this fad diet loses its luster.

First, I commend anyone who has the courage to make this type of diet change. If you start to plateau or get bored with this I think you should look up Dr. Fuhrman. I have many of his DVDs and some books. I believe "you are what you eat".
Also, I invested in a Vitamix 7500. Great Great investment. Other than the cost I have no complaints. It is by far the best investment in my kitchen and we cook a lot. Good luck! |

Good on people for making positive nutrition changes with the idea of bettering your health. But don't kid yourself into thinking you have to do this to avoid some toxin buildup or other such nonsense.

I'm really interested in trying out this Mean Green Juice stuff. I have a blender which makes great smoothies, but I think it would bust if I tried to add in a chunk of ginger. I have a really small food processor though, so I think I'll chop up the ginger, then process it, then add it to the blender to make the Mean Green Juice. I think my blender can handle the celery and cucumber fine. It handles ice well enough.

No, I don't have a vitamix, but I do have a blender I use a lot, can't think of the name off the top of my head. It's been solid, we have ran a lot of fruit through it. I have not had an issue with running poop at all, I did the second day, but it hasn't been bad since.

Yeah, I understand that, but I like the idea of flushing the bad things out lol. I will definitely stay on track, this isn't a diet for me, but a new beginning.
