Hello everyone! New to the boards, but hope to contribute a lot! Quick overview, I had migraines for over 5 years (about 3-4 per week) that were crippling. I tried all meds to try and head them off, all to no avail. I then found out that my wife had Stage 3c breast cancer. We started juicing immediately to help her battle the cancer and keep her healthy. When I started to juice with her, my migraines totally disapeared! I stopped juicing for a few days and the second day, I had a full-blown migraine! So I started juicing with her again. I stopped again for a few days and had another migraine, so since then (about 7 months ago) I have been juicing almost every day. We juice kale, chard, apples, carrots, peppers, celery, oranges, kiwi, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and pears (a different combo of most of the above at different times).
I also know that juicing is great for young children and their neurological development, so we started our 6 year old who has Down syndrome on the juice as much as possible.
So with our great success as far as health is concerned, we bought a new Breville last week. We LOVE it! (I will post pics if you would like to see us in action).
I hope to be a large contributor to your community and am excited to meet you all.

Wow, sorry for the efforts. I thought I read through the rules and didn't see anything about selling items besides selling against what was being sold through the store. Sorry for missing that.
Yes, hopefully I can still provide some good feedback from my experiences and gain some good info from all of yours as well.
PS: I re-read the rules slllloooowwwlllyyy this time and saw the sentence about not selling, again, sorry, my ADHD must be acting up!
