I thought it would be fun (and inspirational!) for us to make posts about what juice we've made each day. I like to hear what other people are throwing in the ol' juicer, and get ideas for my own juices! It'd be great to have pictures, too, but I'm not quite so technically savvy to make that happen on my part (and my computer recently broke down and I'm now using a spare of my friend's, so not so easy to put pics!).

Not sure if a thread like this had been started already, but in any case, if anyone's interested, let's get those juice-taste buds watering!
:drool::juicy:

I'll start! Today I had a juice made of:

-1 cucumber
-1/2 head celery
-1/2 bunch parsley
-4 tomatoes
-small handful purple flowering kale

made via my vitamix and yielding about 2 litres.
Taste: good, though kept having to stir it up, as it would separate into clear purple (? From the small amount of kale?) and murky greenish brown.
Boyfriend says: "That was really good!"

6 bunches/heads of celery and 4 carrots. It made a 1/2 gallon of juice and tasted delicious!

Still using my blender, but in it this morning I made a smoothie using 3 ripe apricots, a quarter of a very sweet pineapple, a little water and ice. It was Awesome!! Best yet, I didn't feel the need to add raw honey or maple syrup like I usually do!

-a tray of barleygrass juice
-a tray of sunflower greens
-a large bag of garlic mustard, plantain, a little dandelion, and a little oxalis

Almost time for my evening ryegrass juice. I normally would of have had some more microgreen juice too (maybe chia or pea shoots), but I had a LOT of weed juice (at least 40 oz).

Wow, that sounds very green! How do you like the taste of it? I love the idea of using wild greens - I feel they're more nutritionally dense.



Today I had what has been my 'usual' lately - apple and broccoli. 2 litres of about 2/3 apple to 1/3 broccoli; it was more 'appley' than lately, but too much broccoli flavour isn't incredibly palatable!

And I saved some juice to take to work with me tonight, only I ended up forgetting it at home... I was so disappointed! :(

Juiced a batch of popcorn, the whole plant not the grain. It goes through the manual juicer really nicely as long as I am careful not to put the whole stock in at once. The juice was sweeter than I expected. this will, without a doubt, become part of my regular rotation.

Mr Raw says that is the best kind of garden!

about 20 years ago i started feeding this garden area , grass / wood chips / straw / leaves / decomposing logs / wood ash / lime .
in very large amounts each year , my concepts that my gardens a mulch pile i grow things in . ive got like 12" straw / grass / leaves etc
on all pathways and aroound all plants every year besides main compost area . well about 4 years ago i cut down a good sized poplar tree one winter that had to be dropped
right on garden area . at the trunk of tree was a 4' limb with end rest of it cut off before being dropped . well this limb was first part of
tree to hit ground so was driven by trunk weight into the ground near 4' . and once i got trunk all cut up and limb removed from earth
you could see all the way down at 4' the soil was still rich perfect top soil like up in the top 12 " . as good a peice of soil you could grow on
on earth . and my monster 6' tall dandelions are evidence , lol .

wheat grass juice for me today. Homegrown but only a shot. I has discovered that if I dilute it with the same amount of water I can drink it much more easily. I can imagine being able to"hide" it in fruit juices.

Wow, that sounds very green! How do you like the taste of it? I love the idea of using wild greens - I feel they're more nutritionally dense.

I used to gag when I started drinking pure green juice, but now I've gotten used to it and even find it enjoyable. Same thing with spirulina powder - it used to taste really bad, but after a little while it started growing on me and now it's one of my favorite treats. Taste buds can adapt quickly, which is why I don't see the point with having to dilute green juices with fruit for the rest of your life when you could spend a couple weeks having unpleasant-tasting green juices and then very shortly come to enjoy them more then your old fruit-laden juices. I don't have a problem with fruit (I love picking wild berries straight of the plants), but I don't think juicing it is a good idea and I think its unfortunate that most people only through in a tiny amount of greens to a mostly fruit juice and call it a "green juice". I also don't like mixing fruit with greens.

Wild greens are far more nutritionally dense, and they're also much fresher. Many times better then store-bought greens.

Mmm... watermelon... haven't had any yet this year! But I picked up the biggest casaba melon I've ever seen - it's got to be about 10 lbs! Well, I'll find out soon when I smoothie-ize it. I'll weigh it then, in chunks, as my kitchen scale can't count that high! :P

Today I made juice with:

-tomato
-carrots
-celery
-green leaf lettuce
-small lambsquarters (roots 'n' all!)

Had a bit of a disaster squeezing it with the nut milk bag - I didn't realize there was an opening in my firm-handed grip at the top of the bag, and after a hearty squeeze, juicy pulp sprayed everywhere - all over me, the counter, the stuff on the counter, the cabinets, the floor... and a bit on my cat, who was loitering nearby, waiting for her breakfast! (I'll just let her lick herself clean, though! ;) ) Oh well, these things happen sometimes!

I've made the following juice several times in the past 10 days.
It is so delicious, probably the best juice I've ever had.


Pineapple, Apple, Lime, Ginger
======================
1 ripe pineapple (I cut it width-wise remove the core and juice it in the citrus juicer)
8 apples (I use Fuji)
2 limes (they help to keep apples fresh and to cut the sweetness)
3 inches of ginger
Mint leaves (optional)

Should make about 1½ liters.

I wasn't really counting blended foods as juices - if I did, I'd have to add lentil + spirulina "juice" (blended) and sprouted quinoa + alfalfa "juice" (blended).

* I think it was chickweed - I just "knew" it was edible, so I went ahead and tried it - intuition is great. Well, I've had plenty of it and I'm still here, so it must be edible. 've actually done it with a few weeds that I have absolutely no idea what they are but I felt were edible.

- a jar of alfalfa juice
- dandelion, chickweed and poor man's pepper juice (about 24 oz)

I'll have a tray of wheatgrass juice later on.

I try to rotate my weeds every day to avoid having too much of any one plant. I rotate my sprouts too, but not as often because they have virtually no nutrient inhibitors (I still rotate them due to alkaloid content).



And I'm still not counting blended food as juice.

LOL, seems that way, you'll keep me on my toes. *smiles*

Do you notice your voice getting deeper and much stronger because of the sprouts? And do you notice you are developing more muscle and feel stronger?




* I think it was chickweed - I just "knew" it was edible, so I went ahead and tried it - intuition is great. Well, I've had plenty of it and I'm still here, so it must be edible. 've actually done it with a few weeds that I have absolutely no idea what they are but I felt were edible.


l've tried that too, but you must be careful. l once juiced a weed that l didn't know in the back yard and took a really small sip to test it out and knew straight away that it was very poisoness because l broke out in an instant sweat and my heart and throat started to race, so l took E3 live and it went away quickly. l wouldn't recommend any SAD eater do that, but if you are highly detoxed on a sprout diet l feel a person can take careful risks. Various weed eating farmers l know have done the same thing. How else will we know if not from trial and error. But really, crushing the weed and rubbing it on hands is the safest way and wait 7 hours to see any reactions, then try if on the moiuth and wait 7 hours for any reactions, and if good, eat some and wait 7 hours for any reactions, and then if good, juice some and see what happens. Then try juicing that weed for a few months and get a blood test and see if it you have any toxins from the weeds.

Definitely growing more muscle and getting stronger, the voice is stronger but I don't think it's turned any deeper yet. Will be interesting to look out for.


But really, crushing the weed and rubbing it on hands is the safest way and wait 7 hours to see any reactions, then try if on the moiuth and wait 7 hours for any reactions, and if good, eat some and wait 7 hours for any reactions, and then if good, juice some and see what happens.

Yes, the universal edibility test. I've done it a couple of times but it's a hassle because it's best if you're water fasting during that time. I don't like missing out on my green juices :(

I can't say I noticed much of a difference cutting the grasses out, but I think I may have felt slightly better with them (could just be psychological). I still felt great either way.

I think I'll try the same thing for the next few days, then throw the grasses in for a few days after that and see if I notice a difference then.

After having an almost week-long hiatus (just finished working 12 days in a row and simply didn't have the initiative to juice rather than throw together quick smoothies), I made a juice with the bits 'n' pieces in the fridge:

-1/2 cucumber
-3 red bell peppers
-3/4 'head' of celery
-1/2 bunch parsley

You should let him know that this is a long-term commitment if you want to feel absolutely amazing; just doing it for a week will have minimal results because there is no way you can start drinking sufficient quantities of sprout juices in that much time. Like the "plan" I detailed in the thread sprouting for juicing (http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?68827-Sprouting-for-Juicing&p=699452&highlight=#post699452), you need to take it slow with sprout juices and take weeks or months to be able to juice large quantities (32 to 40 oz) every day. THAT is when you really start feeling the major benefits and your whole life changes. Just juicing maybe a couple oz of sprout juices a a day for a week will not cut it, nor will it show you any of the miraculous benefits that you will feel if you stick with it for a few months and continually up the quantity of sprout juice you are drinking during that time.

Most all good things in life take commitment and willpower, but if you use those and stick with sproutarianism (or even just sproutarian juicing) then your life will become amazing beyond your wildest dreams.

Hr started out wanting to be raw for just two weeks - 2 months ago. This from a committed carnivore position. Don't knock what can be achieved in one week. Every journey starts with a single step.

Living Food

Every journey starts with a single step.

Very true - I'm just saying that if you stop at that single step, your journey will be over before it's even began.

If he starts sproutarian juicing for a week, and that turns into a month, and then two, then three, etc, that is great. But if he tries it for a week, sees minimal benefits and then stops, that's a shame. Whatever benefits you might notice after a week are nothing compared to what happens once you're juicing large glasses of microgreens every day.

MysticTree
07-28-2012, 04:33 PM
Who knows what will happen at the end of that week? I don't. He doesn't. Of course it doesn't really matter what happens. He could carry on not much bothering with green juices or sprouts or he could give it try. I imagine we will both include green juices more but we shall see.

If he stops after that week his journey hasn't ended; it just won't be the journey YOU want it to be.

Living Food
07-28-2012, 05:23 PM

Somehow I thought you be pleased that he's even thinking about it but you focussed on how it wasn't worth even trying because he was talking about it in terms of one week only. This is someone who two months ago would have ordered steak with a side order of steak! He's now mostly raw and when he isn't actually raw, he is vegetarian. All that from thinking he'd try eating raw food for a couple of weeks.

This is someone who two months ago would have ordered steak with a side order of steak! He's now mostly raw and when he isn't actually raw, he is vegetarian. All that from thinking he'd try eating raw food for a couple of weeks.

I AM very pleased. I was just worried that he may have heard everything Mr. Raw and I have been saying about sproutarianism and thought that he could reap those benefits in just a week. You have to admit, someone saying that they'll try something for a week smacks of them thinking "I'll see if I notice any major changes within a week, and if I don't then maybe this isn't for me". I'm just being the voice of caution and saying that if he expects to feel the benefits Mr Raw and I have in such a short period of time, he's kidding himself. It takes dedication and patience, but the rewards are certainly worth it.

Don't get me wrong - 1 week is infinitely better then none, and I am very glad that more people are willing to start incorporating more sprout juices in their diet. It will only lead to good things. Like I said, I'm just trying to let him know that he shouldn't expect amazing changes within the span of a week; but the fact that he is up for trying it at all is great.

Bf said it made him feel warm in his stomach. He would like to try sproutarian juicing for a week to see how he feels. I have pointed him towards your web site and also am upping the amount of sprout greens I am growing.

l am really happy to hear that the bf wants to try some stuff out, it just goes to show that his curiousity is sparked. You just never know where this will go, he may get right into the lifestyle. He is looking for something...and if he comes across the right information at the right time he may well get hooked. l really like that you are juicing sprouts now, it doesn't get better than that and l really hope you get the full benefits (you should).

l would stress to the bf that he should take the juices very slowly. Maybe drink 30 ml of green juice a day for the first week on an empty stomach. lf he takes it too fast he will get sick and will be blown out. Maybe even try to get him to eat some alfalfa sprouts before his main meal at night. Always slowly...step by step.

A similar situation with myself. l wasn't interested at all in health, but a friend was always talking about raw food, enzymes and cleanses and how good it was. lt meant nothing to me but l was always interested in how he would be so interested in such nonsense, so l eventually come to reaise that there must be something special about these raw foods. He leant me a book and it opened my eyes completely...I WAS HOOKED!!!

He is happily drinking about 4floz - no idea what that is in ml - half in the morning and half after work. We usually have some sprouts on the go and I probably quadrupled this since he said he'd like to try it. Not sure I want to be the one responsible for all the growing. He is really looking forward to the fenugreek and I am waiting for the peas. I was surprised by the sweetcorn greens juice.

Not at all. Mania is a mental disorder. Mental disorders are characteristics of ill health. Ill health is virtually impossible on the sproutarian diet. I dramatically oversimplified that, of course, but it's still true.

The average person just goes through life with so little energy, enthusiasm, and vitality that anything approaching the well being that Mr. Raw just described is seen as dangerous, or a sign that something is wrong. It's not, it can and should be the norm rather then the exception. Advanced, long-term meditators are able to reach states of such complete bliss and joy that it is indescribable to someone who hasn't experienced it, but that's not a sign of "mania" but rather an expanding of consciousness. The sproutarian diet alone causes a massive expansion in consciousness, and toxins prevent it. Therefore, a good detox while on the sproutarian diet will lead to the feelings of well-being and joy that Mr Raw described. I myself experience this, but probably to a lesser degree.

Just like SAD eaters classifying raw veganism (and much less "extreme" diets) as orthorexia, people who have never experienced such joy or well being, or imagined that it is possible, will likely label it as mania or some other sort of mental disorder. That doesn't mean they're right, anymore then the SAD eaters are, but rather that, like the SAD eaters, they lack the necessary knowledge and experience to understand it.

There's a major difference between artificial highs and the feelings of well being, bliss and joy brought about by an expansion in consciousness. The former is addictive, temporary, and detrimental, the latter is not - the highest level of bliss may be temporary, but as I continue down the sproutarian and detox pass then I start to live in a perpetual state of bliss unlike anything else, and it just increases as time goes on.

Can't wait until l get some more buckwheat, broccoli seeds, red clover and alfalfa seeds. lt is so hard to get stuff in my country. l want to boost the juices to 40oz for a month or two (+ the 6 - 8 oz of grass juice) to see what they effect is, but l want a different variety of seeds in big quantities. Fortunately the sunflower greens are starting to grow much better in the last fee days so at least l have another juice up my sleeve, and the buckwheat is coming very soon.

Living Food
07-31-2012, 02:28 PM
I think using the word "high" is a bad idea, as it (rightly) has a negative connotation. It should be normal for people to have the amazing energy, joy and passion that I (and undoubtedly Mr Raw) feel everyday, but for most people it is an abnormality because they are so lacking in vital energy that every day is a drag in comparison. It's possible for everyone on this planet to feel levels of well being and bliss that far surpasses most people's wildest imagination, and it's really a shame that people continue to trash their bodies and not do the necessary things to feel this way.

When you're happy you probably think that you're happy...but just like SAD eaters thinking that they are healthy, you're barely touching the surface of the joy, passion, well being and bliss that you could be feeling. Lots of people think that they're energetic...since I went sproutarian I realized that even the most energetic people I know are practically fatigued and exhausted 24/7 in comparison. This isn't a high, and it's not unnatural. It's just that the average person can't possibly understand this level of health unless they experience it themselves.

Go for it :)

They're not magic...actually, I'm not so sure about that. But the point is that you'll only feel the extraordinary effects if you get real cleaned up inside and have large amounts, and after a while then you'll start really feeling amazing benefits. You can't just drink a piddly 2 oz here and 2 oz there and complain that you're not feeling any different. That's like eating half a strawberry and complaining you're not feeling the benefits of raw!

32 to 40 oz of fresh green sprout juices is where it's at, and that's the amount that will completely change your life and start making you feel amazing even if the rest of your diet is pathetic devitalized store-bought produce.

I know you do Mystic (and that makes me happy), I was speaking more generally to everyone here (I know it gets confusing when you quote someone's words and then reply generally, but you have to have something to respond to). If people refuse to eat lots of sprouts the next best thing is to grow lots of mature food themselves, which is slightly better then sprouts in terms of food mileage and all but sprouts are os much better for you that they make up for it.


I already do.

You do??? That's GREAT! I thought you were just drinking a couple oz a day based on some of your other posts. How long have you been doing it?


It's totally up to them but the religious bent that goes with some of the sproutarian talk is, if I allow it to be, (and I try not to let it get to me too much) offensive.


The main proponent of sproutarianosm on here, when under full sproutarian preaching, claims that even sprouts are wrong and that he is preaching something he doesn't believe in. I find this so baffling. How can anyone preach so evangelically about a subject and then say that even sprouting is wrong?

I don't see it as preaching (all of the claims are true, something you should eventually find out if you stick to all of those green sprout juices).

Let me try to clear that up; I don't think he's saying he "doesn't believe in sprouts", he's saying that sprouting is a stepping stool to something higher and is not the end destination. To Mr Raw, the ultimate goal is breatharianism. You probably don't believe that, and that's fine. Mr Raw says that sproutarianism will eventually lead to breatharianism, so to him it's necessary, but still inferior to the end goal. For example, let's say i want everyone to drink 40 oz of green sprout juice every day (and I do). I wouldn't just say, "Alright, everyone go drink 40 oz of green sprout juice everyday starting right now"...everyone would be throwing up and be violently sick because they wouldn't be ready for it. Instead, I might say, "Okay, everyone, ultimately I want you to drink 40 oz of green sprout juice every day, but start with 4 oz a day and slowly work your way up to the ultimate goal." That's how Mr Raw views sproutarianism: "Okay, everyone, ultimately it would be best if we were all breatharians, but if everyone tried that right now you'd all die of starvation. So start with blending + eating sproutarianism, then add juicing, then more juicing, eventually become a green sprout juice liquidarian and eventually after that you'll be able to become breatharian." It's a process.

So you see, he believes that sproutarianism is still necessary, just not the ultimate goal.


I will be watching you closely, Mystic; it has been my (oft-stated) position that one can reap many of the benefits of sproutarianism just by drinking 32 to 40 (preferably 40 or more) oz, minimum, of green sprout juice a day. I look forward to seeing if that is true or not, so I am curious as to if you will experience any of the amazing changes I have (from 100% sproutarianism) just from the juicing. If I'm right you should be feeling amazing a few months from now. Good luck!

Hang in there Mystic. The night is always darkest just before the dawn.

I didn't feel the effects of the green juice or sprouts at first, and I doubt Mr Raw did either. It takes a few months for it to really kick in. And not eating 100% raw might make it take much longer, but just do your best.

You might want to consider doing a cleansing program, at the very least a colon cleanse and some colonics. I know that you don't think it's "natural", but it can make a world of difference. A good colon cleanse especially can make it much easier for you to absorb nutrients, and if you're having trouble doing that then it will take much longer for you to feel the benefits of sprouts + green juice.

Sunflower green juice is the best for improving your mood, and chia green juice would probably be second best. I'm always in a good mood now, but before I reached that point all I had to do was drink a glass of sunflower greens and feel better within a few minutes. I'd been a sproutarian for a while by that point, and you should reach it eventually too. When the present is bad, look to the future and imagine how great it is going to be, imagine yourself having everything you want and essentially living your "dream life". While you do that, try to feel the emotions (happiness, contentment, joy) that you would feel if you really were living in those circumstances, and pretend that you really are. At the very least it can dramatically help your mood when you're feeling down.

Finally, I'm confident that the green sprout juice will cause dramatic, amazing changes in your life after a few months (if you stick with 100% raw, otherwise it may be longer), but even if it somehow doesn't then there's loads of other things you can do that will help you get to that point. Cleansing, for one. So don't worry that the sprouts/juices own't do it for you, because if they don't (and they will), then I've got lots of other things up my sleeve that will help. Never lose hope, as long as you're confident that you will eventually get out of the circumstances you're in you can withstand anything with a smile on your face.

sunflower greens were my staple for salads and green juices but then I ran out and kept forgetting to buy more. I have some on the way so I'll see if that helps. Horrible day at work with someone trying to blame me for his failing. I pointed out his unfairness quite forcefully. Things are usually better aired I think otherwise resentments fester.

I ran a bunch of thistles through my manual juicer for the first time today. Pretty time consuming cause the needles pierce right through my gloves with ease. Perhaps a pot holder would help? I got about 8 oz of dark green juice. Not exactly fruit juice, but it is the mildest weed juice I have tried so far.

Wild greens in general tend to contain loads more minerals and other nutrients then greens you buy at the store, and are also much fresher.

As for specific benefits unique to thistles, I know that milk thistle is extremely good for the liver, but I don't know if the other thistles are anywhere near as effective. But you can't go wrong eating more weeds!

I've decided to juice rye, barley, and oatgrass over wheatgrass just in case I'm allergic to wheat (not just gluten, which I don't think wheatgrass juice has any of). Many people are apparently very slightly allergic to wheat and gluten, not enough so that you'd notice anything after drinking it but it will still impact your health in the long run.

Wheatgrass juice is still amazing; given the choice between wheatgrass juice or no grass juice, I'd definitely take the wheatgrass juice. But if a lot of people are slightly allergic to wheat, it's probably safer to stick with the other grass juices.

Over 90 million people in the US are allergic to gluten, just not to the degree that they notice negative symptoms forom eating it, but the inflammation slowly but surely ruins their health. I doubt that the article was about a study where the people who gave up gluten were tracked over 30+ years. And besides, they were probably still eating crappy processed foods, so the difference would be slight - most of them would still end up with all kinds of diseases.

I wasn't talking about gluten anyway (I don't think the grasses have it anyway), but being allergic to wheat itself. There's a difference.

Not offended at all, just surprised by the long response. I have read that there are no studies to show that gluten free has any positive effect unless you are coeliac. Mainstream gluten free foods,whilst considered healthy are no less fatty, sugary and generally nutrient poor. The general public however believe these products are healthier.

That could become a wild seed version of the sprouting! thread with a little work. I probably won't post pictures although I'd love to (no camera and don't know how to upload the pictures anyhow), but I'll explain how I grew them.

Plantain was used as a "cure-all" for certain cultures before the advent of modern medicine, it should be interesting to see how the sprouts hold up.

Still waiting for the oxalis seedpods to mature, I want to try my hand at oxalis sprouts and see if they taste anything like the mature plant. I already sprout dandelion and clover, if anyone else has any other suggestions of weed seeds I could sprout it would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't get much better then that. If you want optimal health everyone should be drinking a minimum of 32 oz of sprout juices daily - work your up slowly, though, they are very potent and it will make you sick to drink so much at once (very powerful detoxifiers).

this is a 50 year old life time alchohloic , thats also smoked a whole bunch and for a few years taken a whole bunch of pain killers that contained tylenol . just so you know that patient so can customize the juice if so choose . aleesha / good cat if this in wrong area delete and i'll redo , just posted here because a few sharpies frequenting this thread and wanted to make sure they saw it

Living Food
09-07-2012, 07:45 PM
I have no idea if the hospital will allow it or not, but you should try to get them to - the food given to you in hospitals is absolutely horrible.

Probably it would be better to start more with nut/seed milks and less juice, as the patient sounds like someone who could have some serious detox symptoms if he had too much juice at first (a few glasses of fruit/veggie juice will be fine...it would be best if you could get sprout juices into him, but I suppose that's too much to ask for? I also don't think that fruit should be juiced, but probably many will disagree). The hospital staff - who of course know everything when it comes to health - would probably oppose something as "extreme" as a juice fast. And if he started detoxing they would probably claim that the regime was weakening his immune system (because you need Frankenstein creations specially formulated in a lab to get all the nutrients you need, of course) and making him sick.

Also, it would be best if the juicing/blending was done at the hospital right before feeding it to him to prevent oxidation, but again it's better to give him oxidized juices or milks/smoothies then to have him force-fed SAD junk. If the juices cant be made right at the hospital then you should stick with nut/seed milks and smoothies as they oxidize much slower then juices.

If the hospital staff won't get in the way, a wonderful way to get nutrition into a person with a compromised digestive system is wheatgrass implants. Somewhere in Ann Wigmore's autobiography she describes how she cured a woman who had a specific type of cancer so severe that she couldn't eat anything by giving her daily or twice-daily wheatgrass implants after enemas. They work wonders because they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Alcoholics do serious damage to their livers, and the liver is one of the most important (arguably the most important, although it's hard to tell because there are numerous organs that you would die without) organ in the body. Milk thistle extract is a well-known supplement that is very effective in helping the liver regenerate itself - and regenerate itself it can. The liver is the only organ in the body that can have only one cell left and have it grow into an entirely new, healthy liver. Recently while searching for a good seed company to buy sprouting seeds in bulk form I found a site that sells organic milk thistle seeds (http://nuts.com/cookingbaking/seeds/milk-thistle.html) - if you could get lots of that juice into him it may very well save his life. I have no idea if there might be a severe healing crises though. It also doesn't explicitly say if they are viable or not, but you could email the company and ask.

Beet juice is particularly good for the liver. Here's some recipes for supporting your liver:

http://addictionblog.org/top-10/top-10-juice-fast-recipes-for-alcohol-abuse-and-liver-detox/ - Do NOT have him do #10.
http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?30053-What-s-the-best-juice-for-Liver-and-Kidney

There are numerous other threads on juices for liver support on this forum that you could search for.

I'm sure you know that I'm a proponent of sprout juices first, foremost, and always. But if you can't find a way to get him started on sprout juices (which frankly may be the most important thing he can do for his health) and even mix up sprout smoothies to put in his feeding tube then vegetable juices are still far better then the alternative. But please sprout, not just soak, all nuts and seeds if you end up giving him nut/seed milks. His digestion will be weaker anyway because digestion starts in the mouth and he can't gain the benefit of that. And he will really need all of the nutrients that he can get. So sprout everything if possible.

Your options are very limited for as long as he remains in a hospital setting. I may give you more suggestions tomorrow when I have more time.

Luckily I've never had to stay in a hospital for an extended length of time, so I really don't know how realistic some of my suggestions are. The chance of him being able to get wheatgrass implants at your average hospital, for example, is extraordinarily slim - virtually nonexistent I would think. I'm just throwing everything I can think of that might help out there.

Wheatgrass and buckwheat greens are both very good for the liver also, as are basically all green sprouts. Just start him off very slowly with them and only use buckwheat in moderation.

Garlic, onions, leeks, and chives are also good for supporting your liver. The best way to gain those benefits would be to drink garlic (or onion, leek, chive) sprout juice, but the seeds are very expensive so normal garlic would be better then nothing.

Just a time-saving tip....you don't need to peel them...just wash them and use organic.

Heck, don't even wash them if they're organic...a little dirt is good for you :)

I've had half of this so far, I'll have the rest later on:

* ryegrass juice (8 oz)
* chia grass juice (8 oz)
* Pea shoot juice (16 oz)
* sunflower green juice (8 oz)

Decided to replace one of my daily grass juices with chia juice instead. It's working well so far.

Well...it's as fresh as the roots (not sure this is the right term) I buy at WF...lol. They are whole and I just wash them and throw them in the juicer.

Yes, I would call those fresh as opposed to the dried, yellow powder you buy in the spices section of a shop! I think I can get it from my local oriental food supplier.

I though I'd try something different for my juice today:

3 carrots
2 ribs of celery
half a cabbage head

Cabage contains a number of important minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium.

Juicing it is the only way to make it palatable for me.

Kohl Rabi would be a good one to juice I think. I often eat it like an apple but juiced, you could add the skin as well.

Hello all,
This is my first post but I joined this forum a couple of years ago (?) I started juicing approx. 1 1/2 months ago, thought I'd start adding some "goodness" into myself as I'm not very good at eating my greens ... so, I was looking for a juicing forum today and guess what I found .... long story short, this was my juice of the day .....
1/2 small red cabbage
1 celery stalk
2 small granny smiths
1 large carrot
1/2 lemon
and a good chunk of ginger
I try to make one juice a day with my veggies and try to smoothie my fruit (excluding apples)

**oops, one rib celery

Cut open a fresh green coconut to get the juice. Blended it with about 5 small bananas taken from our garden and a bunch of ice. This was so delicious!:woot:
