My Experience With Vegetable Juicing Right around the time of my experimentation with the blood type. We still strongly recommend that all of our Carb Type patients adopt this juicing plan to achieve a high level of health. So. I was unable to appreciate any side effects from juicing other than starting to become allergic to some of the vegetables I was juicing on a regular basis (like Swiss chard and collard greens). So. It wasn't until I learned Metabolic Typing that I would understand that the juicing would move my biochemistry in the exact opposite way I needed it to go. There was one 70-year-old woman who had followed nutritional principles for many years. However. I started to research this and was impressed with the benefits of raw food vegetable juicing. Later I realized those who benefited were the Carb Types. this type of vegetable juicing was beyond phenomenal for many of the patients I recommended it to. It was far too high in potassium for my needs and actually sped up my already far too fast oxidation rate. But my experience with many patients not improving with juicing made me far more open to the Metabolic Typing principles that I would learn in a few years. and they had enormous benefits.

Discovering Metabolic Typing was a major epiphany for me and explained the years of frustration I was having in trying to fit everyone into the same nutritional model.

My team and I actually incorporated this strong emphasis on food quality at the very beginning of our practice of Metabolic Type nutrition. raw. but realized after learning about Metabolic Typing that this has the greatest value for Carb Types. and Mixed Types should eat their meat and vegetable together! When this is faithfully practiced.

Aajonus Vanderplanitz. I was surprised to hear that they were all eager to learn about what we were doing.

This was because many of them had actually stopped using Metabolic Typing in their practice. especially his liberal use of raw honey. over and over again. but it was well worth the wait. We have eliminated what is unnecessary and burdensome. and came up with big nutritional improvements that have helped our patients often experience dramatic and even amazing improvements in their health—often within the first month of eating right for their Nutritional Type. without burdensome effort. I learned more about the Weston Price Foundation with Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. I observed yet another improvement boost among many of our patients who were able to access raw. Discover the Powerful Health-Building Value of Nutitional Typing 9 . From there. Raw Food Evolution After I had become comfortable with Metabolic Typing. he has uncovered many helpful principles and his work is part of our new system called Nutritional Typing. It took nearly two years to locate an Amish farmer in Michigan who could drive dairy to my Chicago-area clinic. I progressed to one of the only teachers of raw animal foods. that we have identified the most important nutritional principles that help people to achieve dramatically improved health.that we started with. Their compelling literature started my raw food exploration by using raw dairy. Why? Because it was simply too complex and burdensome for the average patient to successfully implement. While I don't agree with everything that Vanderplanitz teaches. Vanderplanitz was able to recover from some very serious medical problems by eating a raw food diet and he has helped many people do the same.

Lesson 2: Get ready to juice! Step 1: Now that you're ready for the benefits of vegetable juice. Please remember that vegetable juice and fruit juices are two completely different substances in terms of nutrition. but if I spread it out over time. The only exceptions would be carrot and beet juice (and most vegetables that grow underground).If you are new to juicing. but the majority were pleasantly surprised to find that it was much easier than they thought it would be. you should avoid fruit juices. Although vegetable juice is processed. growling. If it is churning. This is partly related to the fact that you should only start by juicing vegetables that you enjoy eating non-juiced. I recommend starting out with these vegetables. produce low quality juice and are very loud. which function similarly to fruit juice. My favorite juicer is the Omega Juicer. It is important to listen to your body when juicing. (See Appendix B) Many of my patients thought that juicing would be a real chore. The cheap centrifugal juicers (like the Juiceman) break easily. Your stomach should be happy all morning long. I recommend a mid-priced juicer. as they are the easiest to digest: • Celery • Fennel (anise) • Cucumbers These aren't as nutrient dense as the dark green vegetables.

I do believe that the deep. you can start adding these vegetables: • Red leaf lettuce • Green Leaf lettuce • Romaine lettuce • Endive • Escarole • Spinach Step 3: After you're used to these. Vegetables to avoid include carrots and beets. The reason they taste so good is that they are full of sugar. Herbs also make wonderful combinations. but they are highly beneficial. If you are new to juicing. vegetables into your juice. hold off.

If you are healthy. intense colors of these foods provide additional benefits for many that are just not available in the green vegetables listed above. as many cannot tolerate it well. move on to adding herbs to your juicing.

There is a potential problem with using the entire raw egg if you are pregnant. raw eggs. a common concern in pregnancy. Vegetable juice does not have much protein or fat. use a coffee grinder to grind them first and drink immediately after blending into the juice. I suggest that you blend the whole eggs raw. The reason I advocate this is because once you heat the eggs. purchase organic eggs. put your juice and seeds in the blender to make a higher fat drink. If you get hungry easily after juicing. Seeds are full of protein and essential fatty acids that bring a juice into balance beautifully. If you use flax seeds. could be worsened by consuming whole. Balance your juice with protein and fat.

The ideal dose is just below the social threshold where people start to notice that you have eaten garlic. the major protein in milk that causes an allergy is casein. which I do not recommend due to negative effects unfermented soy has on the body. most people digest whey protein quite well. I use it quite a bit for mercury detoxification. The advantages of chlorella are: • • • Provides a high source of chlorophyll Adds magnesium and protein Binds to heavy metals and pesticides to promote their removal from the body If you have high iron or vitamin D levels. it does not bind to heavy metals the way chlorella does.• Use chlorella. The normal dose is one teaspoon in the juice. you will want to avoid chlorella. So. I strongly advise you to do this regularly to balance out your bowel flora. two medium cloves. 286 . The most popular protein powders are the made from soy protein. or three small cloves is the recommended dose. as it is loaded with both of these nutrients. whey protein does not contain casein.

The reason why adding oil (fat) to your vegetable juice may be helpful is that fat can help you better absorb the vitamin K from your vegetable juice (since vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin). Please note that cod liver oil can raise your vitamin D levels to unhealthy ranges. The dose for cod liver oil or fish oil is one teaspoon for every 25 to 40 pounds of body weight. Limit the cranberries to about 4 ounces per pint of juice. But not just any oil! I highly recommend cod liver oil for the winter months and fish oil for the summer months.

Vegetable juice is perishable. if you're careful. please feel free to choose whatever mealtime works out best for your lifestyle. This is not necessary if the jar is completely filled with fluid.• Lemons: You can also add half a lemon (leaving much of the white rind on).
