Re: OT--detox week- veg juicing

[Guest guest]

>Hi,

I started vegetable juicing every morning about 2 months ago and it

did make me feel better before I started the chelation. I am still

drinking half a glass every morning of organic beetroot, carrot,

spinach, lettuce and sometimes parsley.

Could this mix make me feel worse whilst chelating? I thought as it

was giving me energy, making my urine more alkaline to allow for

detox and generally improving my state of well being that I would

continue daily through chelation. It never occured to me that it may

make me feel worse when chelating?

I did miss 2 days of juicing last week as I felt awful in between a

round but that was just beacuse I didn't have the energy to get up

and do it.

It's hard to tell if I will feel worse when stopping it as I'm so up

and down right now it could be any number of things. I have started

getting headaches the last 2 days when I had been migraine free and

doing so well for a month before chelating.

Thanks for responding

Hi Josie

the hard part about chelating is which one of these literally 100's

of different treatment/food/supplement options (ie juicing or not)

our body and particular weaknesses or strengths will accept or reject

AND not only this BUT I think we all go through phases in chelation

where sometimes something works and then it doesn't or vice versa

I did not mean to imply that juicing is bad for everyone. I am sure

for some it works and also is of benefit depending on your point in

time in chelation

I do think though that our body can initially " like " something as its

different and perhaps it takes a cumalative effect before our body

goes " Nah I really do not want this "

back 6-10 months ago i had trouble digesting vegetables; they would

come out of me the same way they went in. I still have this problem

with peas and some fruits, so i think earlier juicing may have helped

as i could not digest.

Then I addded Betaine HCL, occasional Vitamin C, Biotin, enzymes

and chromium picolinate with my meals and it seemed to help (along

with chelation), so all of these options have gradually improved my

digestion. I really think the mercury dumping and chelation effect

during ny first months was very hard on my digestive tract as i had

constantly runny stool

The time involved and clean up was another reason (I think

subconsciously) that i stopped juicing. It seemed to add another 30

minutes to my morning when i had less energy

You may need to do a longer exclusion with keeping all your other

treatment variables constant to reaaly know if it works for you or

does not. I will say though that it was the morning nauseaus plus

slight headache feeling that finally led me to stop juicing..I

initially thought it was all the supps I was taking, but after

modifying the time i was taking these first supps (i started taking

them aftr breakfast about 9:00 am, instead of before breakfast ), I

narrowed it down to the fact that it had to be the juicing that i was

doing around 7:30 that was setting me off

Its funny though, now after following the AI protocol for a year and

having a daily regiment that seems to work, I can sometimes have an

idea right away of what it is that i need more of or less of

For instance I was getting a little head nauseau in the morning and

remembered this was how too high a dosage of zinc was naking me feel

so I cut back from 30 mgs 3 times a day to 15 mgs ( 3 times a day)

and it stopped. It may have been something else as well so who

knows

sorry for long post

Probably not if you don't overdo it and just use the juices to

supplement your diet. Juice fasts would not be a good idea because

they are too hard on the adrenals (and possibly other reasons).

Watch the quantity of carrot because it is higher sugar than other

vegetables. Fruits would have to be minimized or not used at all

because they have too much sugar. Parsley *might be a problem because

it is related to cilantro, but I can't say for sure.

I give my husband veg juices to help control his BP. I mainly use

celery, with ginger, small amount of apple. It is very time consuming

to stock up, wash it all, juice it and wash the juicer.

Also, be sure to get lots of fiber by eating lots of vegetables

because that's what keeps the system moving and we need it moving as

we are eliminating mercury.
