Vegetable Juicing

A major component of Gerson therapy is fresh-pressed green-leaf

juices containing ROMAINE LETTUCE, WATERCRESS, ESCAROLE, ENDIVE,

RED CABBAGE, beet tops (young inner leaves), swiss chard &

spinach (Caution: chard, beet greens, & spinach are extremely

high in oxalic acid, which can potentially contribute to kidney

stones & other health problems, so I would juice them only in

moderation).

Carrot and beet juice carrots have powerful anticancer

effects. However, there's a controversy over their use because of

their high sugar content and high glycemic index; I personally

would not use them if I had cancer.

Fruit Juicing-- Gerson therapy also includes the drinking of

fresh-pressed (green) APPLE (20oz/day) and ORANGE (8oz/day) juice

(note: Tangeretin, bioflavanoid in oranges, may interfere

w/tamoxifen). I might also drink some fresh-pressed pink

grapefruit and a little bit of fresh-pressed lemon or lime juice.

Avoid fruits with a high-glycemic index.

Juice FASTS can be quite effective but should be done ONLY

under the guidance and supervision of a health professional

w/expertise in juice fasting for cancer patients; For more info,

see Fr„hm, J. (2000). _A Cancer Battle Plan: Sourcebook_.

Tarcher/Putnam. pp. 127-142

CAUTIONS: fresh-pressed juice strongly detoxifies the body, but

this can result in an accumulation of toxins in the liver.

Accordingly, if you drink large amounts of fresh-pressed juice,

it is critical to also DETOXIFY THE LIVER. Coffee enemas are a

powerful liver detox method used by many alt. cancer

practitioners, but I would consult a health practitioner before

using them. Milk thistle, other foods & herbs, & certain

homeopathic remedies also help flush/detoxify the liver, but I

don't know if they're sufficient for someone drinking large

amounts of fresh-pressed juice. Beet juice also detoxes the liver

and has many anticancer properties but also has a lot of sugar

and a very-high-glycemic index.

According to , M.D., LEUKEMIA, LYMPHOMA,

MYELOMA, and MELANOMA patients are rather consistently

parasympathetic-dominant metabolic types. It's my understanding

that it's best for strong " parasympathetics " to minimize citrus

fruit, green leafy vegetables, & other highly-alkalinizing foods,

as well as high-sugar/high-glycemic foods (e.g., carrot & beet

juice). Ironically, Gerson therapy's most effective w/melanoma &

lymphoma.

JUICERS

From what I have read, the Norwalk (grinder-press-type; takes a

lot of time to clean) (about $2000), K & K (grinder-press-type;

takes a lot of time to clean), and Green Power (about $500) are

best. Champion (about $170 and relatively easy to clean) is

probably next best. Angel-Life and Royal are probably 3rd best.

For a used juicer, go to www.gerson.org/patients/usedjuicer.htm.

Masticating juicers (see above) are profoundly better than

centrifugal juicers (e.g., Ruby, Santos Miracle Growth), which

are definitely INadequate. Vita-Mix and other liquefiers

(blenders) are totally inadequate. For more info, see

Hi,

Carrot juice is a component of gerson therapy. The carrotenes in carrots

have an anti cancer effect. Yet cooked tomatoes contain more a powerful

carrotenes (delta carrotene) than carrots (beta carrotene).

Sprouts like broccoli sprouts or mung bean sprouts can be juiced, wheat

grass can be juiced. Paw Paw and whole pineapples (enzymes) can be juiced.

Hi ,

wheat grass juice contains B17 and chlorophyl, paw paw juice

contains proteolytic enzymes to remove the cancer protein coating, as does

fresh pinepple juiced. Broccoli sprouts are 30 times better than broccoli.

For Judy......paw paws come from the paw-paw tree. Buy a tree.....you'll only

have to wait years for it to produce. Check with your local nursery.....and ask

around, perhaps someone has a tree

they'll let you have the paw-paws from. I tasted one once....it's similar to

papaya. Maybe papaya would be a good substitute. Paw-paws must not be picked

off the tree, but rather off the

ground after the tree has dropped them. That makes sure they're really ripe.

Hi,

In case like this it might be better to simply take serrapeptase and

bromelain tabletes to get the enzymes, that way at least you know you are

getting the enzymes to remove the protein coat from the cancer.

Can you buy fresh pinepples or papaya at the fruit shop? Canned is no good

as canned things are heat treated killing the enzymes.

I think the best things to juice (which happen to be alkalinizing) are asparagus

and beets.

I believe the most alkalinizing things to juice are celery, grapefruit, and

leafy greens--spinach, watercress, kale, collards, dandelion, beet tops (young

inner leaves), and Swiss chard .

celantro helps rid the heavy metals from brain and other major

organs. it apparently moves them to the surface structures. then a

bath with clay pellets will draw the heavy metals out of the surface

structures. so adding it to all juicing is a benifit.

I have red that juicing is actually not good. why? because of the

eletromagnetic field created by the motor. apparently pressing your

fruits and veggies is the way to go. does anyone know if this is

true? thank you.

I have heard something like that and that there is one machine that doesn't

supposed produce EMFs but I think that the benefits of juicing far outweigh it.

Was the author of that article Philip ? Marlboro Man?

There is a lady who is very schooled in which vitamins etc are still OK. It

is Ruth Sackman who runs Alternative Cancer Therapies in Manhattan. She

constantly monitors which chickens are acceptable, which nutrients are

acceptable

etc. A good person to touch base with. Mostly into the Gerson approach.

Ok, if you find or come accross the name of this juicer I would like

to have it. It probably has a sheild around the motor.

Another one of my problems here in Montreal is that all fruits,

veggies, herbs and spices are irradiated. Plus the grocers don't tell

you. The irradiation apparently damages anything good we get from our

food. It's really hard to start healthy eating habbits when you dig,

because it seems like all our air, food and water is contaminated

with one toxic substance or another. I'm a little discoouraged and

right now I'm almost at the point of thinking that dying is not such

a bad thing. Sorry to be such a downer but I am trying and the more I

look around the more I see or learn just how far all the degenaration

has gone. Milk is not milk, vitamins and supplements in pill form are

all contaminated. I just bought vits and supplements to find out

after purchase that they are all toxic. Then I figured I'll eat allot

of fruits and veggies and they turn out to be irradiated to all hell.

I just don't know what to do anymore. I've spent all my time learning

more and more bad stuff. I even found an article that states that

smoking cigarettes cures cancer. :-)

From what little I've read about juicing and juicers, I haven't seen

anything about the EMF making them " good " or " bad " . The problem, if it's

real..., has to do with the heat generated by the spinning blades by the

ones that juice by that mechanism (like my Juiceman Jr.). The masticating

ones do not have this " heat " from the friction of the blades contacting the

fruit or vegetable.

The heat is said to affect the enzymes - I guess altering them somewhat so

that they are not as " good " as they might otherwise be.

The way I look at it, though, is that I'm at least USING my juicer, and it's

SO much better than so many other things I could be drinking that I just

don't feel like worrying myself about it at this point. The masticating ones

may produce more juice and less waste, too...this is a good point about

them. But the difference in cost is so great, I feel like I would have to

juice a lake full of juice to break even!

So this is how I've justified what I'm doing...maybe it will help others.

(The EMF thing sounds like a " long stretch " to me - just my opinion.... I

don't think we know enough about such fields to really know if they are bad

for us, or, perhaps, beneficial to us. Why do these fields have to be " bad " ?

It seems like we are taking them that way almost automatically. Fields

produces by magnetic devices (pulsed magnetic fields...PMF) have been

demonstrated to be good in many ways. So have millimeter waves. There is a

LOT of scientific evidence out there to support this. Now I'm not saying I

would make a pillow out of a power line transformer, but I would say I feel

quite comfortable with the fields produced by a juicer motor. I'm sure there

are those who will disagree, but that's where I'm at for now...)

Just one note -- while juicing is certainly healthy, for some who are sensitive to salicylates and haven’t been desensitized to aspirin, many fruits and vegetables can aggravate symptoms. See list: http://www.zipworld.com.au/~ataraxy/Salicylates_list.html. There are many other lists on the web. Not everyone has this sensitivity, but some of us pre-desensitization have very strong reactions, and would have to be very careful what they juiced.On May 5, 2011, at 12:50 PM, Gwendolyn Rafter wrote:

Yesterday I cheated and ate some fried chicken wings and some ice cream and last night my ankles started to swell. To day I have eaten wisely and this morning my husband made carrot, spinach, apple and lemon juice. It was so refreshing. Try to get the book Fresh Vegetable and Fruit juices by Dr. N . He began juicing when he had been given a terrible diagnosis and he lived to be 109. 10 oz of carrot juice and 6 oz of spinach juice will cure just about all that ails you.

Hi Gwendolyn,

I was excited to see your post regarding juicing. In the last few days I have been looking into juicing just because of the natural health benefits and never thought of it as a way to deal with Samter's.

While I have been having tremendous luck since I have been off the aspirin. I am interested in hearing how you progress with this. I have been reviewing juicers online, gathering recipes of drinks etc...

Thanks for the lists. I will certainly look more into it. So far I am doing good with the carrot that is moderate, spinach, red delicious apples and a few strawberries sometimes. I cannot emphasize enough how much better I feel. I am excited just to not have as much swelling in my ankles and feet. A large problem for me is not being able to afford my Advair right now. Until I pay my $3000 deductible I have to pay the $279 each month for it. I hope the juice can help me to get some of the weight off so I can not depend on the Advair.From: R <myigloo2@...>Subject: Re: What's working for me- Juicingsamters Date: Thursday, May 5, 2011, 10:09 AM

Hi !

I have an Omega 5000 juicer. I bought it in '99 and still have and use it, although like you I stopped for awhile. It's a centrifugal juicer, which some say doesn't provide the benefit a masticating juicer does, such as a Champion, etc. However, it served me very well during my treatment. My opinion is any juicer is better than no juicer. If I had to buy another I would either buy the same one or a Champion, due to features and money, in that order. :)

When I was juicing regularly, I didn't juice much in the way of greens, except for celery. Parsley is excellent and green beans are good. Asparagus is not very tasty although nutritious. Cabbage is good, as you're already aware of, but not extremely tasty. I suppose adding an apple probably helps. :) I mostly juiced carrots, apples and beets. Carrot/apple/ginger is good, apple/ginger is great, carrot, apples and celery is good, as is apples and celery. Tons of combinations so drink what makes you smile. :)

Does everyone agree on the Champion? I'm afraid to ask what they run! What exactly is the difference with the Champion and Acme?

I have to be careful of too much sugar when I juice. After I used 3 big carrots I could feel a sugar response so I cut back and increased the celery. What nutrients does celery have in juicing?

I like there ginger because it's great for my inflamation and the apple is sweet without being high in sugar. Is zuccini considered to be a good veggie? I added in several strawberries yesterday...very tasty!

My body is so happy to have the juice as I have not been taking in many veggies at all and I think I need them desperately.

I saw Montel on TV the other night talking about how juicing has helped his MS because it reduces inflamation. I have a tremendous amount of inflamation and felt much better yesterday after increasing the ginger. As we know, cancer and heart disease is connected to inflamation.

Hi !

I have an Omega 5000 juicer. I bought it in '99 and still have and use it, although like you I stopped for awhile. It's a centrifugal juicer, which some say doesn't provide the benefit a masticating juicer does, such as a Champion, etc. However, it served me very well during my treatment. My opinion is any juicer is better than no juicer. If I had to buy another I would either buy the same one or a Champion, due to features and money, in that order. :)

from my notes on juicers:

Juicer ideally should be MASTICATING (NOT centrifugal) and preferably as

low-temperature and low-speed (low rpm) as possible. From what I've heard, the

Norwalk (about $2000) and K & K grinder-press-types are by far the best. If I

couldn't afford these, I'd get an Omega (www.mercola.com/article/juicer.htm) or

Green Star/Green Power (“if one cannot afford the Green Star Juicer, there is

now the SoloStar…costs a good deal less than the Omega Juicer, and does a very

similar job as the Green Starâ€. If on tight budget, I’d get a

ChampionJuicer.com ($170; 1250-2500 rpm). (My comments re: juicer brands may be

outdated)

It's the juicer that is hot...the juice is fine.

, I wrote that I use the Omega, and have since '99. It is centrifugal, but my juice is never hot, even when the veggies are room temp. :)Judi
