That's a question you'd be better off addressing to Gittleman herself,

but let me guess.

when you have a chronic disease the body has reached a point where it

realized it could no longer maintain homeostasis with what it takes to

clear itself of toxins. When that happens it turns down the physical

response, sort of like just focusing on keeping its head above water

rather than swimming against a current driving one to

distruction.

It realizes it can only mass just so much strength with the resources

it has on hand and still stay alive.

If one has a chronic disease, yeah, detoxification is in order but

sometimes the body isn't strong enough to handle a healthy

response to health.

This is where a thing called a healing crisis happens.

If you've even known a person who smoked for years and then quit?

As their body realizes it no longer is being attacted by the

pollutant it starts to detoxify on its own. It allows coughs that are

stronger than a weak clearing of the throat. It allows mucus to once

again flush the membranes.

The response can make the person feel as if they have one heck of a

bad cold or flu.

When the body is strong enough to do a healthy response to what has

been polluting them in the past, great gobs of black tar might finally

be coughed up from the lungs.

Could the body have stayed alive to do that detoxification when they

were much weaker in the chronic stage?

You're off anti-depressants.

Good!

How much weight are you talking about loosing?

How tall are you and what is your goal?

Are you able to be physically active; take walks or go swimming?

Your environment? Do you live by yourself or have a family to contend

with while you go through this adventure?

Is there scheduled time in your life for daily sessions of rest?

These are things you need to ask yourself.

They are all factors in your recovery.

Hepatitis C is a major illness to deal with. If you survive it you

might still have to deal with liver cancer down the road.

Yes, I agree you need to do something.

What are the various medical consultants that you are seeing

suggesting that you do?

In the mean time, while you ponder these questions, my suggestion

for you is that you clean house.

All those things you've been meaning to deal with, do

them. Organize your closets and drawers. Fold socks and iron sheets

if that's what it might take to straighten out your environment to a

point that you can see the difference between you and it.

You need clarity of thought. Environment can be a big factor in this.

When you go in for a medical consultation, take a list of questions.

Tape record the answers.

Let the dr. naturopath, accupuncturist, nutritionist, what ever know

that you want homework.

Let them know you intend to research everything they say.

Let them know you intend to play a principle role in your recovery.

You aren't there to be " done " . You are ready to " do " .

Pay attention to yourself during the recovery.

2 steps forward and one step back is not loosing ground.

It might be part of the process.

Good luck with your adventure,

Hi Jina,

Check the "Basic Aids Chart" in the files.. there are lists of fruits and veggies and what theyhelp.. so you can choose other veggies for juicing. Not familiar with Gittleman so I can't help thereHow about apple juice??
