Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi Beth, I apologize for the lateness of this reply. I am sure you guys have covered most of this by now! But I am trying to catch up and I figure I'll put my two cents in. I would leave the green food products out altogether if you get brain fog from them. Some women do fine with the green foods, but if you have had brain fog, most likely the green food products are going to make it worse. PH knows this all too well, like me! If you juice other fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, apples, celery, spinach (I can handle a small amount of greens mixed in with other juices, but not a whole glass of them), beets (be very careful when you juice beets....it is so potent that it can make you throw up), pears, etc, this is actually the BEST way to get nutrients! In fact, juicing is what makes the Gerson therapy so effective because you can juice way more foods and consume them than you could possibly eat if you were eating them whole, and therefore, you actually consume more nutrients overall. The juices contain all of the enzymes, vitamins and minerals in the plant food. By juicing, you are simply extracting the fibers. Fibers actually slow down the absorption of the nutrients, which in a normal diet is a good thing...fiber sweeps our colon and keeps it clean. But when you are sick or need to detox, juicing will actually provide many more nutrients in a shorter period of time because it goes right to the bloodstream. It is the ultimate " fast food " . So, to answer your question, " do we get enough nutrients from the juice itself " , YES, you not only get enough, you get more than enough! You get extra doses! Patty > > > > > a - THANK YOU!!!!
