[Guest guest]

Do you need to dilute forever or just in the earlier stages?

I am thinking of getting a juicer. We are still early in the stages,

just past the intro phase. On the early stages a juicer has to remove

the pulp right? Would this juicer be suitable for us?

Would it be wiser to wait until we can digest the pulp and just get an

Omega or VitaMix instead?

Does anyone have any comments about the usefulness of having a juicer

for the early stages? I'm thinking it might be nice to be able to make

carrot juice, tomato juice, pear juice, etc etc. Our garden is

spitting out tomatoes and we can't eat them yet. We are up to our

armpits in 'maters. I'm thinking I need to make tomato juice! :-)

Thanks in advance for any opinions on this!

Hi,

I can't comment on the juicer you asked about but I remember posts

from way back that if you get a juicer like the Omega, you can have

many different kinds of juices, even early in the diet (even though

the fruit or veg is at a higher " Stage " when eaten " as is " ). The

juicing breaks down the cell walls or something so that all the fruits

and veggies you juice are highly digestible. You still have to dilute

with 50% water. And there was a caution from a person very much into

juicing who seems to no longer be on the list that we should not

over-do consumption of juice; but please don't ask me why because this

is not my area of expertise.

I can't speak (being a newbie) about the juicer for early stages, but I talk

about juicers. My husband had a Champion juicer a few years before we married

17 years ago and it is still going strong. We gave it to a friend whose wife

had a vicious form of breast cancer and so we ended up buying another. They are

very pricey ($300 in 2000) and you may not be able to afford it. If you can and

do, it has a 1/3 horsepower motor that you just can't kill.

But, aside from that, the Juiceman Juicer is pretty good for a much more

reasonable price. If you ever buy any of them, I'll give you a tip on filtering

it. After it runs through the juicer and the juicer filters out all it can, I

still take a new nylon knee hi (works great as it fit nicely over a small funnel

and into a regular tea glass) or new pair of nylon (no cotton crotch) just for

filtering. That will filter out any fine powder residue left in there. I and

my son can't deal with any grit at all.

We LOVE our juicer. With ours we can make homemade peanut butter or other nut

butters also, but it can be cost prohibitive.

I do know from experience that too much carrot juice can cause diahrea (at

pretty large doses), but it has so many vitamins and minerals that if you are

really run down, you can get a buzz from it. My husbands old roommate before we

married asked " what's in that stuff " because he got a buzz off it. Of course it

is safe and shorter lived.

Early or advanced, always dilute. Otherwise, you're asking your body

to deal with a big load of fruit sugar all at once. Not good.

Hi. Yes we do plan to dilute it still and not to overdo it. I think

some of the negative about juice is that it raises your blood sugar so

quickly because it is absorbed so fast. We balance that by eating some

protein along with it. This balances the blood sugar reaction some. My

son can't tolerate many carbs at all right now, so I'm thinking some

occasional juice might just be a life saver until he is able to

tolerate more foods.

That is good to know. We will stay away from too much carrot juice for

sure then! We just cleared up the diarrhea. :-)

That is funny that you can get a buzz from it. Shall I bring some to

the next social event I go to, LOL? Everyone drinking wine and beer

and me with my carrot juice? LOL!!!!!

We bought a Breville at Macys last month. It's got a big motor, so you can

put an entire apple in it without cutting. It was on sale for $150. So far so

good. It has a lot of pieces to clean, but they are dishwasher safe.
