EDUCATING YOURSELF ABOUT FASTING.......2007-04-10
WHEN I BOUGHT THIS BOOK I THOUGH I WAS GETTING A GUIDE TO MAKE JUICES INCLUDING RECIPES THAT WILL HELP US WITH FASTING AND DETOXIFICATION. BUT INSTEAD I GOT A GUIDE TO FAST USING DIFFERENT APPROACHES WHICH INCLUDED ABOUT 5 PAGES OF A BASIC INTRODUCTION TO FASTING WITH JUICES. THE REST IS ALL ABOUT FASTING ITS BENEFICTS AND CONSECUENCES. I FOUND THE BOOK PRETTY INTERESTING IF I WERE GOING TO MASTER MY SELF IN THE FASTING STYLE OF LIFE. BUT IN MY CASE I FOUND IT PRETTY FUSTRATING NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND A SINGLE JUICE RECIPE TO HELP ME DETOXIFY MY BODY. SHE IS MAKING AN STATEMENT BUT DON'T GIVE ME EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW.

Jucing For Life.......2007-05-17
Wonderful book... I am a beginner in juicing it had been a trememdous help.
All Hale King of the Juice..........2007-02-16
I got into juicing about 12 years ago when I was working the night shift at a grocery store. Most of my fellow employess were all hooked on caffeine and sugar trying to keep themselves awake for that shift. I wanted to do something that would not only keep my energy levels high but I also didn't want to "crash" when I finally did go to sleep.
So I began juicing. At first, it was primarily carrot juice. I drank about maybe 3-4 cups of fresh carrot juice a day and I noticed the benefits of it right away. I always tried to maintain a healthy lifestyle, anyway, but juicing really seemed to give me that something "extra" that I was looking for.
Then I got this book and I began follwing some of her recipes as well as inventing a few of my own. My favorite "concoction" is something I call the Zest Fest:
5 medium carrots
6 cherry tomatoes
2 stalks celery
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 cucumber
1 small piece of ginger
2 garlic cloves
Sliver of onion
Sliver of lemon
1/2 shot of white vinegar
1/2 shot worsteshire sauce
A few shakes of your favorite hotsauce
Salt & Pepper
Juice all the vegetables, add the condiments, mix well in a glass jar with a lid, drink and enjoy! This little potion of mine has warded off several types of the flu as well as other common ailments and gives me a sense of vibrancy and vitality all throughout the day. Of course, my skin is bright orange now and I can see through walls, but so what?
=)
The benefits of fresh juicing are incredible and this book goes into great detail what those benefits are. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, get a juicer, get this book, raid the produce stand, and make your health and your well-being top priority.
would not be 1st choice.......2006-08-20
Be careful if you take this book into the kitchen. It is printed on the cheapest of papers and tears and damages easily if it gets wet. The recipes are o.k.; the information is o.k., although conflicts with some information in her Coconut Diet book, but nothing very interesting or inspirational is shared.
Missing Information.......2006-08-09
I bought this book to add juice to my diet as well as for a juice fast to detox. However, this book is missing important information on this topic. This book is very helpful for ADDING more juice to your diet, but it doesn't cover the necessary information on a strict juice diet commonly used for cleansing (detoxing), illness, and weight loss.
A pure juice diet (fast) requires an introduction phase and a tapering off phase, neither which are covered. It also does not mention the effects of a juice fast, which can include fatigue-like symptoms, skin flare-ups, etc as the body detoxes, as well as the need for large quantities of water for juice fasting.
It would also be helpful to have a table of reference of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. What nutrients does a cantaloupe have? You have to check out beneficial juices under specific illnesses to find out cantaloupe's nutrients.
It is basically the same handful of recipes over and over. The authors missed a great opportunity to fully educate on what one should know if juicing is used for the purpose of detox, weight loss or illness. I hope the next printing is updated with this additional information.
Very informative...well laid out & easy to read.......2006-03-09
This book is EXCELLENT and one which I highly recommend. Yes...it's from 1992 but it all still stands true. The one thing about eating this type of food/juice and eating this way in general is that the underlying benefits and facts don't change. It certainly is not a fad but based on principles that stand the test of time. You can buy a book on this subject that is 50 years old or one that is brand new...they will say pretty much the same thing. This book is very well laid out tho' and is packed with a wealth of information. It points out the benefits of juicing and what each vegetable and fruit is good for...and how to drink them, along with some excellent recipes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Green is Great.......2006-04-28
I had read several accounts of Ann Wigmore's life changing experience with wheatgrass and other fresh fruits, so I decided to give it a try. With my first wheatgrass kit, I got this book. I was so impressed, that I gave it to a friend of my girlfriend, who was dying from cancer along with a tray of wheatgrass and my old hand juicer. A year later, she's still around and I'm buying myself another copy of Ann's book.
If it is as good as described, all should be doing this........2005-09-23
Simply amazing what is described in here. My whole family is exited to start doing this. Can't share any experiences since I am purchasing the required items to start growing wheatgrass.
As a teenager I had a friend who's mother was saved from certain death of cancer through an all natural "uncooked" raw foods diet that included wheatgrass. Remember the bowls of wheatgrass behind the window.
the fountain of youth is green.......2005-05-25
Ann Wigmore, the author of many books on the value of a raw food diet, initially found herself at 50 years old with many debilitating physical problems, and remembered how her grandmother had used grasses to heal the soldiers in WWI, and decided to experiment with their curative properties. Wigmore was a vibrant 76 when she wrote this book in 1985, with her weight the same as it was in her youth, and her hair returned to its natural brown. She explains everything you need to know about wheatgrass, and there is a lot to know about this most basic of all plants.
In the early chapters she notes the scientific data, Chapter 6 is about what wheatgrass can do for you, including weight control by "speeding up blood circulation and metabolic rate". Chapter 7 has instructions on how to grow it and juice it, and in Chapter 8, the many uses, including some nice mixtures to juice up a tasty and nutritious "green drink".
Wigmore explains "free radicals", and the damage they do to our cells, enzymes, and the power of chlorophyll, which is plentiful in wheatgrass. It is also an excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A (in the form of carotene), B Complex, Vitamin E, and minerals like calcium and zinc.
Wigmore describes how to set up an indoor growing area, but for those of us who live in all-year-around temperate climates like Southern California, can like me set up a growing corner on a patio. I use roasting pans, buy my wheat at the local health food store (the red wheat is delicious, and very inexpensive), and use good soil.
Wheatgrass is powerful, so it's good to know all you can about it before using it, and adhere to the warnings to start with small quantities.
An invaluable book for anyone interested in joining "The Green Revolution", to improve their health, need less sleep, and enjoy the many other advantages of wheatgrass, and if you have cats, they'll like to nibble on it too.
A great deal of really stellar information..........2001-11-11
And some information that I took with a grain of salt...
I am a big fan of Wheatgrass Juice. I take a double shot daily and have found it gives me increased vitality and just a general boost. This is the best source of information of the nutritional benefits of the the juice.
I am not a big fan of the colonics or fasting which this book also touts as beneficial. That is a difference of opinion. However, Dr. Wigmore gives a very evenhanded description of how the fasting is done, how the fasting may be modified and no dire consequences if you just can't do it. It is the same with the colonics. She explains it all and then very understandingly states, you don't have to do it. It isn't for everyone.
My skeptical boyfriend (committed carnivore and diet coke drinker) has read the book also (it was in the bathroom...). He went of his own violition to have a double shot before his flight to Vegas. Victory!
Where has this book been all my life!.......2001-07-17
This book was extrememly helpful in validating my beliefs that natural is always the better way to go especially when it comes to something as important as our bodies. Ann is very thorough in her explanations of the benefits of wheatgrass and how to grow your own as well as use it in many beneficial ways to improve the body's immune system. Her credentials are great - she knows whereof she speaks. I learned a great deal about the benefits of raw living foods as opposed to cooked food and how the living enzymes in our food are destroyed at certain levels of heat. It's a little frustrating though to learn that most of the things in the supermarket (except for the produce dept.) don't give my body much nutrition at all. But the good news is there's many authors out there trying to make the transition easier for those of us that want to try to take better care of ourselves. To them, I say a big thanks!

Cute book, not very helpful.......2007-03-21
The folksy advice and complicated concoctions in this book seem to be more fantasy than reality. They call for more ingredients than you'd find in any grocery store, and in order to make these juicy refreshments, you have to have a wide variety of juices on hand. Not to mention a dozen appliances for blending, chopping, squeezing and processing the ingredients they way the book describes.
I was hoping for something that said "juice 2 apples, a stalk of celery and a bannana." But this book says something like, "blend 1.5 oz. apple juice, 3/4 oz. of celery juice, and 3/4 oz of banana juice." It doesn't suggest how much of each fruit you need on hand to make the desired amount. It doesn't even focus on Juicing, which is why I bought it.
Looks cute on the bookshelf, and that's where it will stay. UN-USED.
make it a double.......2006-11-13
This is one of the best juice books I've come across in my thirty years of juicing. The recipes are innovative, easy and delicious. If you are planning any kind of cleanse (fast) get this book first. It will make the process more enjoyable and productive.
Excellent choice for the big and quick jobs.......2006-11-10
This is unit is the ideal machine for really big and quick jobs. Its powerfull motor can handle just about anything you toss in there. A bit on the noisy side, but well worth it because of the speed.
2 Green Drinks and Juices perday will make your day.......2006-03-19
This book is a wonderful collection of healing
drinks and energizing fuel for the body.
It specifically outlines drinks for each particular
ailment and juice recipes to remedy the problem.
Why pop a pill you cannot digest like eating a rock
when you can enjoy a fresh homemade juice drink to
awaken your soul and tantalize your tastebuds.
This is an excellent book which I have recommended
to several people who juice for their health and
enjoyment. Enjoy life....a pill is no fun.
Very Tasty Book.......2006-02-25
I like all of Steve Meyerowitz' books so of course I like this one too. Good info, but I wish there had been more info, and many very tasty juice combos.

Andrew wants freckles more than anything else, so Sharon offers to sell him her secret freckle recipe
Customer Reviews:
good book.......2007-08-23
My daughter suggested I get this book. She had read it as a child and remembered how much she liked this author. I was disappointed in the presentation. I was expecting a hard back book and this was paper. It seemed "cheap" in appearance. However, my grandson liked it and that is all that really matters. Thank you.
The Boy who wants Freckles.......2006-08-27
Andrew Marcus wants freckles like Nicky Lane because his mother would never notice that his neck was dirty. Sharon said her family had a secret recipe for freckle juice and she would sell it to Andrew for 50 cents.Andrew thinks about the deal and then the next day at school he buys the freckle juice. Sharon throws the recipe onto the ground and when Andrew tries to pick it up, he falls on the ground.Miss Kelly,his teacher called him up to her desk ,takes the recipe and reads it. She says she will give it back to him at 3 o'clock.Andrew gets the recipe amd makes the freckle juice at his house. He smells it and it smells horrible. He drinks a sip and spits it out. Andrew then drinks the whole glass of freckle juice.The next day he doesn't have freckles. Andrew goes to his art bin and opens the drawer and looks for a brown magic marker. He finds a blue magic marker and puts freckles on his face with the magic marker.He goes to school with the freckles on his face. Miss Kelly gives him a freckle remover recipe to help him get the magic marker off his face.
This was a very good book.
LESSON WELL LEARNED AND HUMOR TO BOOT.......2006-08-27
I enjoy books for the young ones that give them a good lesson on life and give them a chuckle or laugh while doing it. Be happy with the way you look, be satisfied with yourself and hidden in that message is one that well shows there are no free lunches in life. the 1971 edition I have has some very well done black and white drawings which are quite charming themselves. This is a great book to read to a class as it creates much discussion and allows the children to relate their own wishes and discuss them. This is one of those books that I hope does not go out of print as it has a timeless quality about it. Highly recommend.
Even I loved this book.......2006-08-07
I bought this book for my seven year old son and he loved it. I read it also and thought it was a good book as well.
A lesson in the problems of being dissatisfied with your looks.......2006-07-22
Andrew is a young boy dissatisfied with his appearance. Specifically, he is jealous of Nicky because he has freckles, lots of freckles. Andrew thinks that his appearance would be perfect if only he had freckles like Nicky's and he will do anything to get them. Sharon is a devious girl in his class who acts like she knows everything. She is aware of Andrew's desire for freckles, so she offers to sell Andrew her secret formula for getting freckles.
Andrew pays Sharon and is given a recipe for a gross concoction containing among other things, ketchup, onions, vinegar and mustard. Andrew goes home, mixes the ingredients and then drinks it down fast. Shortly after that he gets so ill that he must stay home from school. He then discovers that he did not get a set of freckles, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he uses a marker to make some.
Everyone laughs, so his teacher lets him use her "magic freckle removing liquid." Once the class learns of Andrew's desire for freckles, Nicky then tells everyone that he wants to use the formula so that he can remove his freckles. His desire is to be free of freckles so that he can be more like the other children. At the end, Sharon is offering to sell Nicky her secret formula for removing freckles.
Andrew and Nicky are typical of children in that they think the features of others are better than their features so they have a desire to change. This story is a lesson in that reality of life, so it is a good one for children. A desire for change is sometimes good, but foolish when it is something that cannot be changed. Drastic attempts can lead to dire consequences and there will always be unscrupulous people who will offer you solutions that will not work and that may be dangerous.

Book Description
Soft drinks and fruit juices are produced in almost every country in the world and their availability is remarkable. From the largest cities to some of the remotest villages, soft drinks are available in a variety of flavours and packaging. The market for these products continues to show a remarkable potential for growth. The variety of products and packaging types continues to expand, and among the more significant developments in recent years has been the increase in diet drinks of very high quality, many of which are based on spring or natural mineral water.This book provides an overview of the chemistry and technology of soft drinks and fruit juices. The original edition has been completely revised and extended, with new chapters on Trends in Beverage Markets, Fruit and Juice Processing, Carbohydrate and Intense Sweeteners, Non-Carbonated Beverages, Carbonated Beverages, and Functional Drinks containing Herbal Extracts. It is directed at graduates in food science, chemistry or microbiology entering production, quality control, new product development or marketing in the beverage industry or in companies supplying ingredients or packaging materials to the beverage industry.
Customer Reviews:
gives details of the chemistry and processing steps.......2006-05-29
The book is a collection of papers by various authors in this field. It gives you an appreciation of the tremendous effort that goes into producing your generic soft drink or fruit juice. The chemistry is nontrivial, and rarely covered in a general chemistry or biology text. Thus, you have to search for the rare book like this one, that does give technical details of the various processing steps.
And not just of the processing. There is also considerable discussion about the packaging. Vital in preserving the contents for as long as possible.
The average consumer, of course, has no inkling of all this. But now you do.
Review of Chemistry and Technology of Soft Drinks.......2000-05-04
The book addresses key areas a producer, marketer or developer of soft drinks or fruit juices would need to know. The book is well balanced among the key topics, with the expection of market research. The latter could be much stronger, indicating the relative positions of various types of drinks. Another quibble with the book is that the point of view is from Britain. It would be interesting to see relevant parts of the book include text written from the perspective of North American, Asian, Continental European, Russian and other regions - by persons who are authorities IN those regions.

Very old fake-scientific garbage.......2007-01-26
The guy uses his blender to break molecules and free the juice! See? One's tempted to quote forever from this laughable treatise, so funny it is, but... verbum sat sapienti. Idiots will buy anything, but you've been warned.
-------------------------------------------------
PS. OK, I can't resist -- a few quotes (capitalization preserved; in no particular order, just read the bits -- this must be enough):
"It has only been within the past two Centuries that people generally awakened to the realization ... the manner in which the body utilises the minerals and Vitamins comprising such food. ... The results ... have been almost phenomenal the World over, particularly in the area of Juice Therapy. ... Even though such fibers reach the Colon in microscopic ... take the best of what IS available and Praise the Lord for what you CAN get. ... be sure to pick the freshest ... buying your vegetables for Salads or making your Juices."
"Life as LIFE cannot be explained, so we describe enzymes as a Cosmic Energy Principle or vibration which promotes a chemical action ... cooked foods ... [do not] have the power to regenerate the atoms which furnish the life force to our body. ... surprisingly large percentage of the atoms making up the nourishment ... triturate the vegetables ... thereby splitting open the interstices of the cells of the fibers, liberating the atoms and molecules."
"I have found that the toxic sprays are retianed in the fibers ... and are not present in the fiber-free juices. ... Our Creator gave food both as nourishment and as medicine. ... just consider how much more concetnrated than the juices are the following items used as food: soy bean and soy bean flour are 870% more concentrated that carrot juice and 940% more than celery juice. Popcorn is 2100% more concentrated than carrot juice and 2300% more than celery juice. White sugar in 4200% more concentrated that carrot juice and 4600% more than celery juice. "
"When the juice is incompletely extracted from the vegetable or fruit, they are in the form of vital organic water ... their effective power is ... diminished due to the absence of the vitamins and enzymes which are left behind in the fiber and the pulp. ... pesticides and sprays ... it is FIBERS that collect these toxins. The enzymes, atoms and molecules are allergic to them. ... our Blessings have been multiplied beyond what we think we deserve, besides having the vibrations of our food raised to their highest nutritional point. It is the Hand of the Almighty God that guides us in our discoveries. We pass them on to you."
-----
I could simply retype the whole book here, but the small portions above should suffice to show you what goes one in this book. It was originally published in 1938 -- a while ago, but still, 1938 isn't 1638. The author signs his name as D. Sc., which I take to mean "doctor of science". What efin science was this half-literate impostor a doctor of? Nothing comes to mind. Anyway, it's 2007 now. There are mountains of real scientifically based health and nutrition books; written by real scientists; in standard English; based on real, verifiable, current scientific research. In other words, there is no reason whatsoever to pollute your mind with Mr Walker's rubbish. And there's never been, come to think of it.
Otoh, collectors of pseudo-scientific garbage may want to get this book for its historic and curio values. I have never seen anything quite like it; it reads like a 16-century alchemy manual.
Pure & Simple.......2006-07-02
It was suggest to me to buy this book when I purchased my first juicer. I love this book. I have read it over and over and enjoy the carrots with 1 stalk of celery juiced daily. I wish I could enjoy fresh juice during the day, but you can't juice at work! My skin, hair and overall health has improved since I started juicing. I took this one step further and bought his other book, Pure & Simple Natural Weight Control, which talks about juicing and raw foods. It give such insight of how the body digests food, and make you want to eat for nurishment. I recently read a article on raw food diet that names Mr. Walker and said he died at 118 from a accident. You won't be dissapointed with anything Mr. Walker has written.
You can be your own Doctor.......2005-05-06
This book has turned into my health bible. I have given this as a gift to many friends and family members. Use this as your guide to curing and fighting desease. You can feed your body the nutrients it needs to heal itself. I teach juicing and raw food preparation classes, this is one of the books that inspired me and I recomend it to all that attend my classes.
Fruit juices?.......2004-09-27
The title says fruit juices, but he hardly mentions them in this book! Well, i guess he preferred to eat them since they digest easier than veggies. He says enzymes can be preserved at any desired low temperature without loss, which i didn't know. He also says that the sprays and pesticides are retained in the fiber, not the juice! He says a lot of good things about raw goats milk, and apple cider vinegar. Also says that the sea & ocean are full of minerals, so you should take sea-salt, kelp, and dulse. And if you wanna eat flesh, choose fish! And take a look in the ailments list, he lists nymphomania! Great book.
Can't go Wrong..........2004-03-28
I came across this book at GNC many years ago, and it turned me onto juicing, and trying to take better care of myself.
Unlike other books that deal with juicing and raw foodism, it isn't sensational, it is basic, and the juicing recipes can be used with items at your grocery store, not at a specialty health food store.
I recommend all of Dr. Walker's books.

JUICES.......2007-09-15
This book is not for me is for someone who has a juicer and time to make them might be good for someone else
It's helping me save my life.......2007-08-02
I am plagued with multiple chronic health issues and have been on a personal quest to improve my health. Over the years I had consumed numerous freshly made organic juices from various stores and felt a slight positive change in my health. However, it wasn't until I purchased this book and began weekly drinking two to four cups of juice combinations from within it that I began to feel the juices had made a tremendous positive change in my health. My first clue to the power of the recipes was the strong feelings of increased strength and well being that began twenty minutes after drinking a cup of juice. Over the next two months my acne completely disappeared, my face had more of a glow than an oily sheen, and my hair began to regain its luster. The changes were so apparent that numerous people remarked how healthy I looked. I can only imagine the health benefits it's had that are not so easily seen.
Today I had a hidden allergen in my lunch that left my intestines painfully inflamed. As soon as I could I referred to this book and juiced a recipe to soothe my symptoms. Much to my delight, it worked! I can see and feel the positive impact the juice is having on my recovery.
This book is helping me save my life!
Quick, informative guide to juicing.......2007-03-12
I gave 4 and not 5 stars because the author did not enclose a recipe for hyperthyroidism and chose to focus on hypothyroidism only because "it's more common". Judging from the amount of text on the other condition, I beg to differ. However, anything with Brussel sprouts and broccoli will help manage a hyperthyroid condition.
Also some of the recipes reference vitamin mixtures sold exclusively by the author, who is Australian- so ordering may be a bit impractical for non-Australian readers. However, this book is a great reference on what juices are best for common conditions and even gives tips on which fruits and veggies complement each other on taste and which do not. All I need is a list of ingredients and I'm off to the market. The ingredient amounts also make enough juice for 3 servings a day- which is great because they recommend that the nutritional value of juices diminish after a few hours. By necessity, I make juice the night before for breakfast but the juice is still fresh.
Great book.......2006-06-29
I love the recipes in this book. They are easy to make and they taste great.
You can create life saving juices according to the area of health concern. Definately a must have.
great little juicing guide - all you need.......2005-12-05
This book has all you need to know about medicinal juicing in
a deceptively small and easy to read package. I used her
antibiotic juice in lieu of a prescription antibiotic and it
cleared everything up in just 2 days. All her recipes seem to be very effective. Highly recommended especially if you are just
starting out with juicing.

For People Who Want to Have a Little Fun With Juicing.......2007-09-11
Depending upon what you're looking for, this book will either disappoint or thrill you. In my opinion, it's one step above your normal juicing books, not in the sense that it's better than other books, just that it's not what you'd typically find in something similar.
The book includes your normal, basic juicing recipes, as well as a plethora of other cocktails. The author actually has a section of alcoholic juice combinations, as well as a section on how to make pretty garnishes for your drinks.
One thing I liked about this book is that for each juice, the author includes a little nutrition fact-type label listing all of the minerals that the juice provides.
There were some good recipes, but, most of the book, to me, was superfluous. I thought the book was really cutely done and I loved the cleverly named juices. And while the section on alcoholic cocktails and garnishes was a unique addition to a book on juicing, I had no use for it. Also, there were no pictures to accompany the garnish instructions to show the reader what the end result should look like. I believe it would've been extremely helpful to see what the garnishes looked like when done properly.
There was also a "power boost" section which incorporated several supplements (gingko, vit.C powder, etc.) into the juicing recipes. More than anything, I found this part more annoying than anything else. It was completely unnecessary to devote an entire portion of the book to "power boost" recipes. It would have just been enough to simply include a small note instructing the reader that if they wanted an extra kick they could merely include a dose of whichever "power booster" they desired.
One part of the book that I did appreciate was the section in the beginning which instructed the readers on how to, not only, pick out produce properly, but also how to juice it properly (like how to cut it up, if the produce needs to be peeled, etc.)
This book is definitely not your typical juicing book. While it didn't have what I was looking for, I appreciate the different spin the author put on what can be both a boring and daunting subject (for beginners). I think that her approach can open the door for many potential juicers where other, more traditional books, can close it.
Some good ideas for fruit and vegetable drinks.......2007-09-07
I would recommend this if you have a juicer and want to try some different mixtures and are afraid to go out on your own.
Pretty Good.......2007-07-30
I'm new to juicing; I bought a juicer first, because it tastes good and second, because it's probably somewhat good for me. I was hard pressed to find a juicing book that didn't preach about how juicing can save the world etc. And once you get past the corny names, this book did a pretty decent job of providing a novice with some exploration ideas if I start to get adventurous. I like that she didn't shy away from suggesting adding sugar to some drinks, it showed me that, like me, she was in it for taste first and health second.
cheesily monikered.......2006-03-23
& very fruit based. not for the serious health juicer, but i suppose it's alright. still haven't made anything from it though -- not enticing enough. hmmm...
Needs Help[.......2006-02-25
I was looking for a Juicing BOOK With a lot more Info and
detail; this was not it.
This little paper back fell way short of what I was looking for.
Was not worth the money.

The best book for juicing recipes I have found so far.......2007-08-04
I love the simplicity of this book and its great, simple recipes. I have purchased quite a few juicing books but like this one the best.
Juicing Lover's Bible.......2007-07-20
I refer to this book time and time again for the specific benefits that fruits and veggies have as well as tons of juicing recipes specifically targeting different ailments. Highly reccomended. I personally own a different juicer other than the Juiceman's but the wealth of info applies to any true juicer.
Great Book!.......2007-06-15
It's totally fun juicing with this great book. Everybody should have this.
I love the juice man!.......2007-06-11
My parents bought the juice man juicer and book when I was in highschool, and my family started juicing. I noticed an immediate difference in my acne, my energy levels and my performance on the volleyball court. After a while we phased out- preparing fresh juice for five people everyday took a lot of time and money. Here I am, 8 years latter, living on my own and juicing everyday. I "borrowed" my mom's juicer, bought my own "Power of Juicing" and got on my way to a healthy lifestyle. With all the fresh fruit and veggies, I gave up fast food (which I thought I could NEVER do- through work and college, I ate fast food on the run twice everyday!) and I lost 10 pounds within a month. Now I consult my juiceman book everyday and I have my boyfriend hooked on the fresh fruit and veggie juices as well. We feel great. I even began to work-out again and I am back to what I weighed in highschool. That is a total loss of 25 pounds. Juicing motivates me and gives me energy throughout the day. I recommend juicing to everyone I know, and I think Jay Kordich is definitely on to something!
A Must Have.......2007-03-23
I never knew that vegatable juices could taste this great!!!. My husband and I have been juicing our way to better health from day one after recieving a copy of Jay's book. If we do not have a glass of carrot and apple juice to start our morning, we do not feel good.
