I am a daily juicer. I refer to this book time and time again, looking up recipes for a healthier lifestyle. I like that it has recipes for specific ailments included.
Wow. I have a pretty high tolerance for authors espousing their own views (even when I don't agree with them), but I found myself thinking the author was crazier and more cultish the further I forced myself to plod into this. I gave up when I got to enemas (with descriptions of leakage and positioning oneself in the tub ass-in-air and head down) and salt water flushes. I am jsut not ready for this kind of crazy.
All I wanted was a few good juice receipes that featured veggies. Even after suffering through the crazy, I didn't find the recipes I'd hoped for. Although, I admit to giving up before reading the half of the book on juice remedies for every ailment. I just refuse to believe that (should I suddenly find myself suffering from dementia or AIDS,) I'll find a juice that will instantly heal me in this book. Call me a conformist.
This book is pivotal to my continuing efforts towards a healthier life style. It wil be often referred to as summer arrives and I can afford to return to juicing with my new Jack Lalaine Juicer.
I particularly appreciate the individual recepies for conditions and ailments.
Provided lots of recipes for juicing and smoothies. Discussion of health/nutritional benefits of fruits and veggies. I like how the author identified medical conditions and correlated juicing recipes.
This book really is what the title says; "The Ultimate Guide to Juicing Remedies". It lists an ailment and then gives you what juices you should be consuming for that ailment. Very helpful juicing book.
