Anyone tried juicing or had success with juicing? In perusing the internet, it looks like there are quite a few people with lyme/cf/fibro who healed or lessened symptoms significantly with this?? Anyone had any experience?

Also, wanted to ask about juicing with or without raw diets? Or diets like the paleo?

I use to hang out at the Hippocrates Institute in San Deigo back in the 70's. Juicing is the law there and yes, it will help with any disease, but I doubt it will cure the Lyme complex.
It can supplement any type of diet... of course Ann Wigmore and Max Gerson say that a raw food diet is best. For me it was not all it was cracked up to be. My body loves and responds to meat and high protien. Everyone is different.
With the paleo diet you will mostly want to juice veggies, not fruits. Hard to stay low carb with so much carrot juice... but Gereson says that carrot juice is essentail to healing, carrot apple mix is good.

Wheatgrass. Greens like spinach, lemon, carrots and beet. They help but wont cure

Hi Lassie,
I juice.
NOT as a meal replacement or a fast, which I feel is unsafe to do without supervision of a doc, but as a vitamin boost to my day.
My favorite is:
An apple A few carrots A beet Half orange or grapefruit Peeled whole lemon or peeled whole lime Celery or Cucumber or Fennel Entire bunch of parsley Large handful of black kale Peeled ginger OR cilantro to taste Sea salt to taste
It is an instant energizer drink.

You will need to stick to the green stuff and avoid the fruits for this to work. Even carrot juice can flare up Candida.
I found juicing was OK, but ended up going to making green smoothies because I needed the fiber and had to avoid the fruits. Without the fruits, the juices are hard to swallow... lol.

If you have a CBS mutation, you can't tolerate the sulfur in foods like spinach, kale and cabbage. Juicing those vegetables made me sick.

I looked into juicing and ended up buying a Vitamix instead so I could get the fiber too. It works great and I make smoothies with kale and spinach all the time.
Can't say that that's the specific thing that has helped but it does feel healthy and correlate with a general period of improvement.

Hmmm... I am really surprised juicing hasn't helped many more people here??? Has anyone given it a real chance?
I want to be sure to let everyone know that it has been an important change in my diet and has made a very significant difference in how I feel day-to-day. I think that I was/am not absorbing nutrients properly due to so many bowel issues... I recently discovered I was quite backed up maybe from antibiotics for so long? I really recommend adding a GREEN juice to your daily routine! It really has helped over time.
Has anyone read that raw garlic can act as a natural antibiotic? Anyhow, I was hoping that I might see some success stories with juicing.... I have read of many people curing diseases? Anyone here who has successfully used juicing to help cure or maybe at the end of treatment?

If you want to use juices for healing, the best book on this topic is:
"Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices - What's Missing in Your Body?" by N.W. Walker, D.Sc. ISBN 0-89019-033-X
I have tried the juices, and my body does not tolerate them. I burp them up hours (6+ hours) later, even after having eaten 1-2 meals between drinking the juice and the burping...
However, I know of individuals who have cured Cancer with the juices...

Is it likely best to juice first thing in morning so that it's on an empty stomach?
I do like green apples and carrots. Oh and juicing a pineapple is amazing.

Juicing makes me feel better and I love the taste. I think it is good for your overall health and my LLMD recommended it too.
Organic: spinach, a few carrots, purple cabbage, green apple, lots of ginger root and fresh lemon

At my sickest, I was juicing organic like 2 times a day greens, wheetgrass. I stayed off offending foods. I had lost 60 lbs. what got me over the hump was treating babesia/proto, parasites. I have continued juicing. I suggest looking at the parasite thread.

Not to be a downer, but I bought a juicer about 4 years ago- it's a big mess to clean up! Plus, that one glass is expensive
with all the organic green pushed in and getting just drips back. I know you can take all the leftover pulp and use it for baking-
wasn't up for it then. So my juicer has been put away for a long time now.
That's why I'm leaning towards buying a Bullet, that the fiber and pulps are drinkable as well, easier clean up.
Would love a Vitamix, but that's some high dollar. Just have a regular blender. Anyone use the Bullet?

Yes.
Bullet cannot uniformly blend. Leaves pulpy chunky bits and often gets stuck.
I do not like mine for anything but protein powder or green powder mixing.

Another alternative is to cook some of your greens, carrots etc in water or broth till tender, then just throw everything in blender and you have a wonderful vitamin rich soup.
