It's basically and detoxing thing. I'm trying it for a few days and I started tonight. Dinner was pretty rough. I tried adding some garlic and ginger thinking I could whip up some super healthy elixir, but it turned out pretty nasty. All I can think about is food. cheese. potatoes. cream of mushroom. anything. sooo starving.

I've gone a few weeks without gluten and that was pretty rough, but I think this will be worse. I'm shooting for a few days, but i'll go for longer if I start feeling better.

Anyone try anything like this? One of the signs/symptoms that a health guide gave as a reason to stop the juice fast was.....HUNGER.

Hopefully I don't rip someones head off at work tomorrow.
I believe we've talked about this before on the forum... Anyway, my wife had chronic hives (came out of no where), if you watched the video, you know how she found the video in a search. Anyway, we started the juice thing for her, who, hasn't had hives in about four months now. I did it just because (mainly support), and lost 50lbs in a month and a half. I stopped the diet at the beginning of summer and haven't put a pound on since... I'm more than likely going back on it to lose more (and the energy gain after a bit is unreal). I will say though... Nothing is more addictive than food, I know that now...............

I know a second person who has beat cancer TWICE through her diet, with ZERO chemo.
^ That is not uncommon.


For those interested, watch a video called "The Gerson Miracle" on Netflix. Very interesting.
