My talk with Wellness Consultant, John Rose!!!!!

[ReneeH]

I just wrote this I'm by blog, but wanted to post it here so that more people can see it.

For those of you who don't know John Rose, he is a Wellness Consultant, Food Research Scientist.

He is a really AMAZING person!!! After watching one of his videos, I decided to give him a call. Honestly, I expected a machine to pick up!!! hehehe!!! But, he answered and was kind enough to speak with me for 20-30 minutes!!!!

In his video, he says if you don't do the Juice Feast right away, don't throw the video away or send it back...big mistake! I told him I was glad he said that in the video because I had actually gotten this video in 2007 and kept it for that reason!!!!! I don't think I was quite ready to commit at that time. But, I never forgot some of the things he said.

During our conversation, he talked about the importance of seeing “un-eliminated waste matter” come out and the different stages of cleansing. The best way to avoid a cleansing reaction, John says, is to have frequent bowel movements. He recommended herbs like Cascara Segrada to help me get things moving and Flax and Borage Oils or Evening Primose Oil as well as Herbs to add to juices. Also iodine: Sea Veggies is important, primarily Kelp. For protein, Spiralina and Greens and More.

What he calls attaining the ideal diet must first start with cleansing and rebuilding, which Feasting on juices helps us to do that. He says only until I do the cleansing stage and actually SEE this nasty, disgusting filth come out of my body...until I actually DO, then I can't even begin to heal my body. Achieving the ultimate health that I want, want must first start with looking at what i have not yet elimated. I have to let go of the toxins in my mind, body, and spirit. Feasting, he said, will guide me into a new way of thinking about everything from relationships to food. To the extent that I'm willing to change will affect the results I see!!!!

John doesn't care for the 80-10-10 approach because he says it's too limiting. Low fat raw, in his opinion is not the ideal diet. But, neither is high gourmet raw as a permanent diet. Alissa's book Living on Live Food actually says that too. Alissa does mention that a person will not/should not eat that way forever. Eventually, ill want to eat more simplier, such as moving towards mono-meals. John agrees with that.

John also talked about the importance of chewing my juices to allow the Saliva glands to flow and enjoy my juices. He suggested using the Lemonade Juice only along with the fresh Juice Feasting as a means of having something on the road. But, its NOT his ideal way to fast. The Juice is primary.

At the end of the conversation, he said to make each juice fresh and consume at least 1200 calories in the form of juice....about a gallon a day, every 2 hours (1 pint).

It was QUITE a conversation!!!!!!!! I remember meeting him at Whole Foods a few times in the past. He is very genuine and honest and extremely encouraging!!!! I told him I would call him on my 90th day!!! What a TREAT it was to speak with him!!!!!!

You also mentioned elimination --pooping. What does he think about elimination during a juice feast? How does he think it best be done ---wth an herbal laxative, enema, etc?

Just curious.
