With more than 70 percent of India's population living on less than a dollar per day, using the courts to protect fundamental rights is not a realistic option for most Indians. Nevertheless, India's courts can ensure that the government respects, protects, and promotes the fundamental rights of the nation's most marginalized people. Legal action is a powerful tool for securing justice for women, youth, and the poor facing violence or discrimination.
The Socio Legal Information Centre (SLIC) provides free legal assistance to people who lack the capacity to approach the courts for redress. SLIC files more than 100 petitions each year to protect the health, dignity, and rights of India's citizens. With a presence in 25 of India's 28 states, SLIC is one of India's largest, most active legal human rights programs and runs the country's only reproductive rights unit.
In collaboration with partner organizations and individuals, SLIC has helped transform the lives of thousands of people, especially pregnant women. Legal petitions filed by SLIC have helped ensure that women who give birth in public health facilities have access to safe delivery services and adequate nutrition and that the state investigates instances of maternal mortality. In a landmark case, the organization helped gain court recognition of reproductive rights as fundamental human rights.
SLIC started in 1991 when young lawyers began organizing slum dwellers in Bombay; it has a long history of going to court for the poor, the "untouchable" dalit class, and youth who live on the streets. Today, the organization has more than 180 lawyers who provide free legal representation to those facing the harshest realities of life in India. Each year, they bring judges, doctors, and activists together to collaborate and strategize on legal issues concerning human and reproductive rights.
SLIC will use its $750,000 MacArthur Award to purchase an office and training space for their reproductive rights unit in New Delhi and to build a reserve fund, providing health insurance for its staff and emergency assistance for staff and volunteers harmed in the field.

Sam is basically right, he's just cranky.
Got another one...
Ahhh burn it, send it to hell!
Yay! Forums is Update!
Bad news, I was up all night and they still didn't do the transfer correctly. I will have to see what can be done but they can't see to get the transfer done correctly.By the way, it was in the "news" section on the top of the screen for a week. If you keep that hidden then things like this will catch you by surprise.

Harrison family. 2. Check into some of the publications written by Dr. Linden Forest Edwards at Ohio State University. He wrote a series of articles for the Ohio State Medical Journal back in the 1950s that were later re-published in the form of small booklets by the Wayne County Indiana Public Library. These articles/booklets explored the medical practice of employing grave robbers to fill the need of fresh cadavers for medical dissection. (I will provide a small reading list at the end of the post) 3. Watch the video posted at the end from the History Detectives. They are researching a grave alarm which in turn leads them to go over some of the numbers associated with the grave robbing "industry" of the time. With each medical college in the area advertising a cadaver for each student, the number of fresh cadavers needed each year was pretty staggering.
The Cincinnati area was rife with the problem. Bodies were being stolen all the time during this period (1860s-1880s)....many from poorer cemeteries. Dr. Edwards wrote about the stories that were being told, and people were so aware of this problem that they employed night watchmen to guard over fresh graves - if they could afford this service.....otherwise, sometimes carried out by family members. Ironically, in the largest Cincinnati Cemetery, Spring Grove Cemetery, the Medical College erected a headstone in memory of all the bodies used for scientific purposes. I think that alone speaks volumes about the number of bodies we might be talking about.
This regional issue brings me to my second encounter with grave robbing. It came when I stumbled upon a note in the E.E. Barton papers of Pendleton County KY. One of my distant cousins related a tale that had been passed down in the family about the burial of my fourth great grandfather, Samuel Cox: "My Mother never did think that her grandfather rested in his grave, for just in a night or two at 12 o'clock, a man left that grave with something wrapped in white lying across his horse in front of him. The man was a truthful man, and is a brother-in-law of my father, Newton Humble was the man. (Speaking of the witness). We always thought that it was old Dr. Thomas, and that he probably took the body to Cincinnati and the medical college to find out what was the cause of his death."
What really struck me about this report was the proximity of Samuel's grave.....it is a small family plot on the side of the road, out in the rural areas of northern Pendleton County, which is a pretty hilly place. If I was going to snatch some bodies, I wouldn't want to have to trek up those hills an back down again carrying a body, just for $10. But then, it wasn't too much farther to Foster in Bracken County which was right on the river. What better way to transport bodies? So, it has all just made my head spin a little to wonder....how many of our ancestors are not in the cemeteries we visit? I don't really mind them being used for science.....but it kinda makes me mad in a way....our ancestors were so against it, for religious/principle reasons.....what gave these colleges the right to steal what belonged to our families? And once they were done, I'm assuming the bones were burned, etc. Which means we no longer have true knowledge of a final resting place. I think the headstone placed in Spring Grove is a nice gesture, but I would like to know where they deposited the post-dissection pieces or ashes. I think that would be the proper place for a memorial - and a place we could point to as a final resting place. Anyway, just some points to ponder - especially on Halloween :-)

MacDougall looks at 2012 as a year of growth for screen printing.
2012 has been an interesting year. Against a backdrop of continued recession in most national economies, rising unemployment, political insanity, and the imminent demise of the world predicted by the Mayans—screen and specialty printers seem to be bucking the trend.
A quick glance at industry stats from SGIA (Financial Outlook and Business Growth Reports, sgia.org) show the three main segments (graphics, textile, and industrial) all growing robustly, increasing business, hiring more people, and over half of those surveyed saying they will be buying new equipment next year. How can this be? Don't screen printers listen to the news? Obviously not—they are too busy printing!
Why do things continue to improve? I can only speculate and observe what is going on in some of the shops where I have had the opportunity to work with the owners to help them realize their dreams and build their businesses while so many others in retail and manufacturing face economic hardship.
Kyle Robinson of Print My Threads in Ashland, KY is a prime example of the DIY mentality that has been a mainstay of screen printers over the last 100 years, and the movement which is jumpstarting a lot of small businesses over the past ten years. Starting in a converted garage at home with used equipment, in two years Kyle has moved into a storefront, bought a DTG press to go with his six-color manual, added two employees, and doubled his 2011 sales in the past six months.
Ashland and the surrounding region are typical of many resource towns. When the local oil company relocated offshore, the population dropped by 50% and the economy went into a tailspin. Kyle and others like him have been taking advantage of the low rent and internet marketing to establish himself as a main regional supplier, and also to tap into sales across the country. His strong commitment to using water-based inks and offering eco-friendly materials has given him a decided advantage and an angle that differentiates his product from his competitors.

Last night the House of Representatives voted 257-167 to pass the fiscal cliff bill. Many have pointed out that president Obama has come out the winner, while the Republicans who signed Grover Norquist's no-tax- increase pledge have been the biggest losers.
But in a new op-ed for The Financial Times, Nouriel Roubini writes that the U.S. has been let down by its leaders and that they "dysfunctional nature" of the country's political system means another crisis isn't far off.
He also says the country has yet to wake up to the "full extent of its fiscal nightmare".
The next crisis according to Roubini could be just two months away, with spending cuts set to kick in at about the same time that the U.S. hits the debt ceiling. This is going to begin another "messy" debate between Democrats and Republicans.
"The longer-term picture is bleaker still. The reality is that America is yet to wake up to the full extent of its fiscal nightmare. Even the typical Republican voter is not - being on average older and poorer than a Democrat voter - in favour of gutting the welfare state. Tea Party extremists are more noise than signal. That is why the plans of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the Republicans' losing presidential ticket, postponed all the tough spending cuts on Social Security and Medicare by a decade.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans recognize that maintaining a basic welfare state, which is right and necessary in our age of globalization, rapid technological change and demographic pressure, implies higher taxes for the middle class as well as for the rich. A deal that extends unsustainable tax cuts for 98 per cent of Americans is therefore a pyrrhic victory for Mr Obama. ... In short, the "mini deal" on the fiscal cliff dodged all the important questions. By not including spending cuts in the deal, the Democrats have emboldened Republicans who are determined to slash taxes but lack a plan to pay for it. It is again up to Washington's policy makers to fix the problem before the market does it for them. Tuesday's deal suggests this will not happen with any ease."

Story highlights
- "Use It or Lose It" makes $473 million available for "shovel ready" infrastructure projects
- 49 states will receive the funds
- States have until October 1 to identify projects
In an effort to create more jobs and improve transportation, the Obama administration announced a new "Use It or Lose It" program Friday, making nearly $500 million in unspent earmarks available for states to use on so-called "shovel ready" infrastructure projects.
From 2003 to 2006, Congress set aside $473 million in earmark transportation funds that have never been spent.
"These idle earmarks have sat on the shelf as our infrastructure continued to age and construction workers stood on the sideline," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a conference call Friday. "I'm taking that unspent money and giving it right back to the states so they can put it to work on the infrastructure projects that they need most -- projects that will put people to work."
LaHood said he believes the "Use It or Lose it: We Can't Wait" program will create thousands of jobs. "At a time when one in five construction workers is out of work, those are the jobs we need and we need them right now."
President Obama has promised to veto any congressional bills with earmarks, but this money was set aside before Obama took office, the White House said.
Republican reaction on the timing of the announcement was stern: "The administration's statement that 'we can't wait' defies the reality that in fact they waited three and a half years to release these funds while projects and workers sat idle," said Rep. John L. Mica, R-Florida, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. "In fact they fiddled while America's transportation policy was left on the back burner by the Democratic Congress for three years until I helped rescue it from the funeral pyre."
When pressed as to whether this announcement was made now because of the political season, LaHood said the timing has more to do with the state of our "construction season."
"We understand the political climate ... but we still need to put people to work and that's what we're doing with this money," LaHood said. "Our goal at the Department of Transportation and the president's goal is to get as many people to work as possible. ... We're in the middle of a construction season and people are ready to go to work."
Forty-nine states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive funds. Wyoming has no unspent earmarks, so it will receive no funds.
States have until the first of October to identify projects for which they plan to use the money. The Department of Transportation must approve the projects before they can move forward. States have until December 31 to obligate those projects. Funds not committed by the end of December will be redistributed into the 2013 fiscal year budget to states that met the deadline.
LaHood said it was the hard work of Transportation Department staffers that found the money.
"During the time that we were waiting for Congress to pass the transportation bill, our people were looking for money anywhere that we could find it and our folks came upon the idea that these earmarks could not be spent," LaHood said. "We checked the law ... we wanted to make sure that we got it correct. Legally this is the correct way to do it."

How My Battle with Acid Reflux Disease Overweight, Arthritis, Candida, Hypoglycemia, and Prediabetes Lead to Discovering the Deepest Most Powerful Cleanse Ever
The Genesis of Juice Feasting
From an interview with David Rainoshek
Is There an Easy Way to Cleanse Completely? What is it Possible to Heal? Press the Reset Button and Help Your Body Shed
the Toxins and Weight that are Making You Sick.
Get Your Energy and Your Life Back
From: David Rainoshek
Dear Friend,
Over the next few minutes I'm going to introduce you to a revolutionary and rapidly growing Life Practice that I developed over ten years ago with my colleague John Rose (who saved my life) to rapidly heal your body and transform your life.
What You are About to Encounter is an Idea Whose Time Has Come. Juice Feasting, as you are about to learn, is Healling Through Incredible Abundance.
. . . and if you read this short letter entirely you're going to know how you can protect yourself and your family from the unnecessary suffering and trauma that 70% of people in the United States today are facing due to causes that YOU can prevent.
The information below will not only help you understand Juice Feasting and its dramatic ability to reduce and eradicate most western health challenges, but will also introduce you to a rock solid method to transform your whole life…
No matter what diet you've been eating…
What is the Cleansing Sweet Spot?
. . . You hear the word "cleansing" thrown around a lot in natural health circles, but few people actually understand how cleansing really works and what is truly possible. That's why many of us do not heal. I tried using my juicer to juice fast, did the Master Cleanser for 12 days, and even tried water fasting. But those cleanses are too extreme, too weak or too short for most people who need to address chronic health concerns.
There was something simple, yet profound that I was missing. I had not yet hit the deep sweet spot of cleansing and healing that I am going to share with you here.
You'll be shocked – as I was – at how simple it is to relieve yourself of innumerable and preventable health challenges once you know how to put yourself in the biggest cleansing "sweet spot" ever discovered
These preventable, healable health challenges rob you of your potential for a full life of passion and creativity. They affect how you feel, how you treat those you love, and sap you of the vital energy you could be using to live your unique self purpose.
Before I discovered what to do, I thought my life was over. I was taking six different medications every day before the age of 27.
But I kept plugging away… I knew I would find something that would heal me, and that it would involve food and cleansing (not drugs and medication). What I did not know is that what would save me would change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in just a few short years.
My constant pain and sickness had purpose: it led me to discovering The Cleansing "Sweet-Spot" we call Juice Feasting: a bullet-proof solution to a growing laundry list of preventable health challenges that we badly need to heal NOW.
And I do mean NOW. 70% of the U.S. population is now overweight or obese, and 70% of Americans are on pharmaceutical drugs. Over half the westernized world is clinically pre-diabetic. Our biggest killers are heart disease and cancer – diseases we now know have causes that can be minimized and eradicated.
Why Are We Sick?
And Why is it So Hard to Get Well?
Alfred E. Newman said, "We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons." And Astrid Alauda said, "Did you ever stop to taste a carrot? Not just eat it, but taste it? You can't taste the beauty and energy of the earth in a Twinkie."
In Westernized societies the disturbing Truth is that our food is lacking in Goodness – both in nutritional content and meal size – and our eating such food is resulting in the fading of Beauty.
A July 2008 Johns Hopkins University study published in Obesity projects that by 2030, 86% of Americans will be overweight or obese, and a shocking 24% of U.S. children will be overweight or obese by 2015.
Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years, and 1 out of 3 children born today will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
Toxic Waste Matter Builds Up in Your Intestines, Making You Sick
Below are pictures of the Uneliminated Waste Matter in the intestinal tract and colon of almost everyone in the western world. It forms over decades of eating – and even if you have adopted a healthier diet and lifestyle in the past few years, it is very likely you have some of this in you. Such uneliminated waste in your body is damaging to your health, to say the least.
The average person has between 5 and 30 pounds of this uneliminated waste matter in their intestines, blocking digestion and secreting toxins into the body. Oftentimes it is so impacted it is shaped like the intestines.
Do you know where you absorb 90% of your nutrition? Through the small intestine. But if it's clogged with the stuff you see above, you don't get the nutrients from your food. That leaves your body feeling hungry, it it places more orders for nutrients that it is not getting, causing you to feel like eating even more food.
It also means that you are not absorbing the nutrition from all those expensive supplements and super foods you have been eating, which is like flushing miracle foods and your money down the drain, literally.
But that is not all…
You create more brain-balancing neurochemicals in your gut than in your brain. And if this waste matter is in your gut, it imbalances your brain chemistry, creating foggy thinking, depression, anxiety, lack of creativity, poor sleep…
Juice Feasting is designed from the ground up to get the junk out. Your body will be given the tools, the energy, and the permission needed to let go of all that yuck in a SHORT period of time.
The results? A happier brain and a body that is FAR more well nourished than before… and that is just for starters, as you will see.
Juice Feasting is also designed to address toxicity that is not visible to the naked eye…
65,000: The Number of Human-Created Toxins Assaulting our Immune Systems…
Every year over 13 million people across the globe are diagnosed with cancer and 7.6 million people die because of cancer. This is about 13% of all global deaths. The U.S. ranks in the top three countries with the highest rate of cancer in both men and women. This is not an accident.
The sources of Toxicity are all around us. We'll show you how to get the lead (and more) out…
70,000 chemicals, according to the E.P.A., are used commercially. 65,000 of those 70,000 are potentially hazardous to our health. According to the Environmental Defense Group, more than 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment each year, of which 72 million pounds are known carcinogens.
These cancer-causing agents end up in our air, our water, and our food.
In other words, we are surrounded by carcinogens, and we have to use what we as human beings have used all along for survival: a certain amount of cleverness and thoughtfulness in our lives to counteract the lack of consciousness that the corporations and ourselves are living with.
Different tests on the blood and urine of adult Americans have found a total of 167 compounds, with an average of 91 compounds in each person. Of these 167 compounds, 76 are known to cause cancer, and 94 are toxic to the nervous system, 82 effect the lungs, 86 effect hormones, and 79 cause birth defects.
In unborn babies, the Environmental Working Group has found a total of 287 chemicals in the baby's blood; 180 are known to cause cancer, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects in animals. Our future generations are explicitly at risk.
Wouldn't it be nice to find a simple, natural remedy that can act as a practical antidote for this situation? I think so, too, and that is why we are here.
The Health Effects of Toxicty are Devastating…
Disease has weight to it. Mortality rates among the overweight and obese are telling: A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that being overweight increases the risk of death by 20 to 40 percent, and by two to three times in cases of obesity.
Obesity carries with it a multitude of increased risk factors : heart disease, depression, acid reflux, diabetes, dementia, arthritis, cancer, stroke, kidney disease, sexual dysfunction, and sleep disorders.
With modern research data and its digital dissemination for all to read, the general debate is over on this one: Overweight is associated with numerous diseases, shortens life, and creates direct and associated economic costs:
The U.S. will spend over $3.5 TRILLION dollars on health care this year, much of which could be prevented.
I know it, you know it, and it is why we have created Juice Feasting: to answer the immense call and need for healing in the western world in a way that is accessible to EVERYONE.
We've Been Lied To: Modern Medicine Doesn't Remove The Actual Causes of Disease
Modern Medicine is an Expensive Band-Aid Approach.
The reason why it's so hard to heal our health challenges is because there are so many, and the modern medical approach is to ignore the underlying causes and treat specific symptoms with drugs.
Remember, most of our ill health arises from very similar underlying causes: stagnation, toxemia (drugs, food additives, agro and industrial chemicals, uneliminated waste matter in our bodies), and deficiency.
Take arthritis for example.
Chronic joint pain is incredibly common in the western world, yet most of it is caused by poor hydration, a lack of alkaline minerals in the body, and inflammatory dietary agents such as wheat, dairy, processed sugar, and GMOs.
Or consider acid reflux disease, (which I had). This preventable condition is the reason over the counter antacids are a perennial top-seller for Big Pharma.
This multi-billion dollar cash cow can be healed in as little as 7 Days of Juice Feasting by rebuilding the alkaline lining of the stomach and rehydrating the body. Stomach Acid is good for you… and this serves to increase stomach acid production.
…I know when you read the following you may be skeptical and say "Acid reflux is too much acid." That's what Big Pharma would like you to think.
Actually, reflux is caused by a weakened stomach lining that is deficient in organic sodium (such as in celery – the center of juices on any Juice Feast). The weak stomach lining reacts to the presence of strong stomach acid.
The key is not to diminish your natural production of strong stomach acid but to rebuild the alkaline stomach lining.
The healing experienced from Juice Feasting on a myriad of western health challenges – such as those seen below – is just as dramatic. And it's easy to see why once you understand how Juice Feasting is designed to remove the underlying causes of most major diseases to rebuild the body's physiology, biochemistry, and immune system from bottom to top.
If You Have These Symptoms, It's Likely That Toxemia is Causing Your Declining Health
Symptoms are Signs That You Are Marching Through the 7 Stages of Disease…
There are Seven Stages of Disease – which you will learn about in the Juice Feasting Program. As more studies are done on the underlying causes of these Seven Stages of disease, it is being understood that stagnation, toxemia and deficiency contribute to most of our illnesses, including far more than just those listed below.
How Would You Like to Get Your MOJO Back?
…in a moment, I'm going to share with you exactly how you can remove the underlying causes of these symptoms and diseases, rebuild your body, and get your energy and your life back with the most powerful method for eliminating toxicity that has helped hundreds of thousands of people since I started sharing it online 10 years ago…
…just so you know… the amazing results you are about to see from people around the world…
I didn't just stumble onto this method by chance. It was after a very long and painful journey, and I want to share this story with you so you'll understand exactly how I discovered Juice Feasting, and how it works…
Like Most People, I Thought the Standard American Diet Was Healthy and Normal
My story on this has little to do with long-haired rainbow-loving parents, Birkenstocks, Volkswagens, hugging trees—not to take anything away from these. . .
Juice Feasting creator David Rainoshek… not doing so well before the miracle of Juice Feasting changed everything.
I grew up in Houston, Texas, adding gloriously to the pollution of person and place, enjoying the ridiculous variations of food concoctions built on the same basic dietary theme pushed on and widely available to all Americans: sugar, wheat, dairy, meat, and artificial coloring and flavoring.
It was the pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, algaecide, larvicide-laced, pasteurized, homogenized, modified, fortified, slow-suicide-type of subsidized, advertised, propagandized, televised, irradiated, constipated, glow-in-the-dark food which is antibiotic, idiotic, toxic, synthetic, pathetic, depleted, weak, bleached, colored, eroded and bar coded.
And yet, I grew up through the age of 12 with few health concerns, active, and doing well in school. Until mom asked me at the beginning of 7th grade, "Do you want to take your lunch to school, or get it in the cafeteria?"
I was growing up. A man doesn't take mom's lunch to school—he gets it himself. "I'll get it at school" were words I would live to regret…
My Downward Spiral into $50,000
of Medical Expenses
Sadly, like most schools in the U.S., my school, had a wonderful array of so-called foods only matched by – ironically – hospitals and the penal justice system.
Looking back on my report cards, that was the year it all went into the toilet. My mind became constipated, imbalanced, bereft. I remember putting teaspoons of sugar in my Coca-Cola.
I developed acid reflux disease that year, and over the next twelve years – despite an active life of sports and eventually a vegetarian diet – my symptoms grew worse: stomach pain, irritability in the early morning, arthritis, hypoglycaemia, high blood sugar, and the need to sleep 12 hours a night to physically function the following day.
I was in hell this way for three years after backpacking the 2,200 mile Applachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in 1999. I spent $50,000 on medical bills trying to figure out what was wrong – and was prescribed a whole host of pharmaceuticals ranging from antacids, pain killers, psychotropics, and over-the-counter medications.
This was the medicine cabinet I used to manage symptoms before I learned how to the underlying causes of my health challenges with Juice Feasting. After just 10 Days of Juice Feasting, I did not use ANY of these ever again. That was 10 years ago…
After 3 years of feeling like I was going to die (my heart often felt like it was going to beat out of my chest) I encountered my colleague and friend John Rose, who taught me how to Juice Feast for healing and health.
And heal I did.
David and his Dad, Dennis Rainoshek. Both have Juice Feasted for 92 Days to save their health.
My intractable symptoms of 12 years left in 3 weeks, I lost 50lbs, and had my life back. And I understood that my suffering – that the circumstances of my life – had meaning. I studied nutrition and developed the 92-Day Juice Feasting Nurition Program, which has benefited hundreds of thousands across the world over the last 10 years.
And we are just getting started. The moral: do not doubt the circumstances of your life. You are here for a reason, and it extends beyond your own healing to that of people you have not even met yet, and to entire societies of people who desperately need to heal as well.

Angela Stokes of Raw Reform
On Juice Feasting
When David Rainoshek first started speaking to me about living on just juice for 92 days, I thought it sounded outlandish and totally unrealistic. I was also ready, however, for some deep detox and cleansing of my system. The more I listened to David, the more it started to make sense. Before long I found myself embarking on my own three month Juice Feast with David as my Coach, sharing the journey with the world as I went, via my blog.
I'd already been raw for 4.5 years when I started Feasting – I'd already lost over 160lbs of excess fat and toxins, just from eating raw. Yet I still had a LOT of detox to unfold, having weighed nearly 300lbs at my heaviest, just a few years earlier.
My Juice Feast was a completely phenomenal, life-transforming experience for me. People don't tend to come out the other side of Juice Feasting for three months without having experienced some pretty major life shifts…and my experience was no exception to this.
I lost a further 18lbs, released a lot more 'emotional baggage' and was, to my utter surprise, still having solid bowel movements, 92 days into the Juice Feast. . . :O If that doesn't tell us something about how much waste there is to release from our systems, I'm not sure what would. . . 😉
Since my own Juice Feast, I have guided countless others along this path to more vibrant health. I feel Juice Feasting is such an incredible healing tool and thoroughly encourage people to make use of it and set out on their own juicy journey 😉

On Juice Feasting
It's rare for something to come along that impresses me so much as a healing modality that it instantly changes my own life habits. But I've recently been introduced to a plant-based medicinal modality that's so incredibly effective at preventing and reversing disease that I believe it is "the" cure for cancer society has been looking for.
I believe it's not only a cure for many cancers, it's also a documented, proven cure for type-2 diabetes (a disease the American Diabetes Association laughingly claims "has no cure"). It can also completely reverse heart disease, depression, most mood disorders, liver disease, kidney stones, chronic inflammation, arthritis, gout, urinary tract infections, asthma and numerous other health conditions.
I'm drinking five quarts of juice a day, which means I'm drinking thousands of phytonutrients from about fifteen pounds of fresh produce every single day. That means I'm bathing my body's cells in the most powerful disease reversing medicine in the universe. While the USDA recommends that Americans get 3 servings a day of vegetables (and that can include dead, cooked or pasteurized vegetables), I'm getting an incredible TEN servings a day (at least!) of RAW, fresh vegetables. And on top of that, I'm getting at least FIVE servings a day of raw, fresh berries and disease-reversing fruits.
I've personally found Juice Feasting to be nothing less than life-changing. Once I tried this for three days, I was hooked. I've now been on a modified Juice Feast ever since I met David Rainoshek. It has become my new, healthy lifestyle.
I believe Juice Feasting is the future of medicine, healing, and overall health.

On Juice Feasting
When I was in my early twenties, I discovered a large lump in my breast. I went to three different doctors, and each one more adamantly proclaimed that I needed to have surgery to have the lump removed. I made an appointment.
The weekened before the surgery, a friend suggested that I do a 40 day Juice Feast. He even offered to do it with me to lend support. I made the decision to postpone the surgery and try Juice Feasting. I dove into making fresh made juices, mostly vegetable and some days of all fruit. After the third day, I was not hungry and during the cleanse I had so much energy and vitality. By day 21, the lump had totally disappeared! I continued my commitment to the 40 days. I never had the surgery, or a reoccurance.
I am a believer in Juice Feasting! It works!
Many blessings, Brigitte Mars.

On Juice Feasting
Juice Feasting is a lovely terminology. Rather than deprivation, fasting, suffering, and all the old terms were out there in the field… I think that the new generation has given us some bright light on the subject.
On the first day people come in and they're new to this diet, they all think, "I'm going to starve, I can't do this." But by the third day, practically everyone, even the big over-eaters, say, "Oh my God! I'm not even hungry!"
If one is Juice Feasting on Green Juices, and particularly sprout juices, they are very high in protein. There is a major biochemical component of protein that will regulate the blood sugar and diminish the desire for food… complete protein juices that are completely digestible go into the bloodstream and regulate the blood sugar, and that is extremely helpful…
Dr. Brian Clement, Hippocrates Health Institute

On Juice Feasting
"Nothing cleanses, heals, nourishes, and rebuilds a body like a comprehensive superfood juice cleanse… and Juice Feasting is a stellar superfood juice cleanse. When you flood your body with the huge quantity and quality of nutrients that Juice Feasting provides, you heal on unprecedented levels.
These elements include structured, low surface tension water from fresh juices that unclump the red blood cells that flow through your veins. Unlike, water fasting (which, although it has helped very many, I consider it barbaric by comparison) or single cleanses (just colon, just kidney, just liver, etc.), the Juice Feasting program is comprehensive.
Juice Feasting addresses all avenues of detoxification and elimination, while simultaneously providing complete nutrition with the combined elements from both the juices and superfoods. You stop living a toxic lifestyle and start living regenerating one. The Juice Feasting program goes far beyond just giving you a taste of cleansing and rebuilding, it is hard core healing. It immerses you in a lifestyle that can save your life!"
Jameth Sheridan, N.D. of HealthForce Nutritionals
We Have Found That Run of the Mill Approaches to Health Just Don't Work…
Krispy Kreme donuts offered at the gym? Honestly…
So we know our bodies have a toxic burden that causes disease… and toxicity has weight to it. (We have got to get the lead out – literally!)
Big Business and Big Pharma don't want to empower you to heal yourself. They actually have a financial interest in sending mixed messages that will confuse and limit your health. They do this by ignoring the most important parts of true healing: removing the underlying causes of disease.
We need to:
- Cleanse Our Bodies of Toxicity
- Rebuild Tissues Damaged by Toxicity
- Rehydrate Every Cell with Living Water and Fresh Juices
- Alkalinize Our Bodies With Mineral-Dense Foods
Juice Feasting – and the creators of Juice Feasting – take all these important aspects of weight loss, detoxification, and healing into account
What that means for you is deep nourishing healing and health upgrades for your whole life. Juice Feasting itself is designed to train your body to ask for the foods that keep it well long after the Juice Feast.
Many of us have been to the moon and back with diets, exercise, and modern medicine and would like some insight – or confirmation of your own thoughts and experiences – on why these short-sighted approaches were doomed to fail.
Let's put our past experiences in a useful context and get down to where it's really at with Juice Feasting!

Find Out Why Juice Feasting is The Solution That Other Cleanses Just Can't Touch
Juice Feasting is a MAJOR upgrade from water or juice fasting (cleanses you can only do for a short period of time due to a lack of calories).
Juice Feasting is, at its heart, about self-empowerment and abundance. Instead of a fast (in which you don't give your body enough calories) this is a FEAST!
Why a Juice Feast? You will be juicing 12-15 lbs of produce EACH DAY to make 4 QUARTS or more of juice, super-nourishing and cleansing your body.
JUICE FEASTING means you can drink all fresh, nutrient-dense juices for up to 92 Days healing and preventing almost every major health challenge we have developed in western society.
Join thousands of individuals, including recognized health professionals who are switching on to Juice Feasting as a way to make significant healing and health possible for themselves, their clients, and those they love.
Juice Feasting is Designed to be Accessible to You
Accessibility is one of our top priorities in the Juice Feasting Program.
We made certain that everyone can do this by design..
When I finally healed from all of my health conditions I knew that this information had to be available to everyone. This is why Accessibility is one of our top priorities in the Juice Feasting Program.
An education at Harvard is available to all, but accessible to few—financially, and practically speaking. Healing Centers and Retreat Facilities are available out there – just like a Harvard Education. I've worked at one of the best. However, they are not nearly accessible enough to turn the health crisis train around.
The costs of running a Healing Center or Retreat make their services too expensive, not to mention the costs of travel and time off work.
Therefore, if a health program is to be one that can truly turn the tide of our growing health crisis, it must be not only available, but truly accessible. This is why we have created the Juice Feasting Program online, to be accessible to everyone.
Anyone can access this valuable information on how to Juice Feast, and the produce for a Juice Feast costs only about $5-10 more a day than your average grocery/food bill for. . .
Juice Feasting Delivers Extraordinary Health Results Like These. . .
This is so exciting! Many of us have truly great health challenges as we enter the Juice Feast. . . we need something that can meet us where we are at.
Successful Juice Feasting students have, over the years, overcome decades of fibromyalgia; back pain requiring surgery; type-II diabetes; heart disease; cancers; hepatitis C; PMS; heavy metal toxicity; depression; acid reflux disease; chronic fatigue; overweight/obesity; sexual challenges; dehydration; malnutrition; chronic underweight; parasites; bloating; candidiasis; the list goes on and on. . .
"I'm on my 30th day,
lost 20 lbs."
Dear David and Katrina,
Thanks for the information! I'm interested in the new juices. I'm on my 30th day, lost 20 lbs. removing toxins from my liver and other organs, getting my lymph to move, feel wonderful, never hungry. Not bad for 60!!
I have been using so much of the information on the 92 Day Program. I've started using the Thyroid drink with radishes.
My daughter, who is currently living in London, UK (I'm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is the one who mentioned this to me. She's Juice Feasting too!
Great job you guys!!!!

During the Feast, students lose approximately 1-2 pounds each day for the first 10-14 days, then drop back to ¼ to ½ pound per day for the remainder of the Juice Feast.
And if all this isn't enough, we also consistently find that Juice Feasters find their energy continues to increase throughout the Program. We would all love more energy to do the things we love, and to spend quality time with the people we love, in our day to day lives!
A recent educator in the elementary schools whom I coached remarked, "If I had not been Juice Feasting, I do not think I would have made it through the semester." This from someone working 12-14 hour days, in the city at an elementary school. Inside of a semester, decades of chronic fatigue, constipation, sluggish thinking, and morbid obesity were history, which brings us to the next quality we are looking for in a Bona-Fide solution. . .
Track Back in Time – Up to 120 Days for Every Day You Juice Feast…
Think about this. How many years did it take for your health challenges to develop? For most of us, we can think in terms of decades. We do not suddenly "get" anything – the underlying causes take a very long time to develop—a testament to the miraculous resilience of the body in less than optimal conditions. Fortunately, the healthy person we were is still there, waiting to be released if only given permission, and a little time.
Can you imagine if we healed as slowly as we took on our decades-old health challenges? It took me 20 years to develop a full-on case of acid reflux disease, hypoglycemia, and chronic pain everywhere.
Yet in just three short weeks of cleansing, all of my crippling symptoms had resolved… the underlying causes were transformed and removed. At the end of my first 92-Day Program, I had lost 50+ lbs, and was mistaken for a person nearly half my age, which felt pretty good, I must say.
We are time travellers on a Juice Feast, going back in time about 120 days for every day that we Feast. Let me say that again:
We go back in time approximately 120 days for every day that we Juice Feast!
While drinking the most amazing juice we have ever had, we can resolve decades-old challenges in a small fraction of the time that it took to develop them, and this. . .
You Can Juice Feast While Working and Taking Care of Your Family
Having the time and money necessary to attend a Heath Center or Retreat is a real challenge with the demands of family, finances, and work.
Historically, if someone has wanted to fast to completion to resolve their health challenges, time would need to be taken off work to attend a Center, or to allow enough space on one's own to deal with the detoxification issues of deep cleansing. Moreover, many people feel weak the first time or two that they fast, due to the heavy toxic load being re-released into their system before exiting. These historical realities of cleansing have made working, taking care of others, and cleansing/fasting incompatible.
With the age of the Juice Feast, these concerns are over.
By drinking enough juice to supply your body with every calorie it needs, including all the fat, carbohydrates, protein, enzymes, phytonutrients, water, and minerals you require, Juice Feasting empowers you to feel great, work, take care of others, and cleanse at a deep level—enough to reverse many of the most heinous health challenges and leading causes of disease today.
Don't Depend on a Broken System Anymore Juice Feasting Empowers You to Take Care of Yourself
I joke with my students that after the Feast, I don't want to see them again.
What I mean is that I see it as my goal to educate everyone about nutrition and cleansing to such an extent that you never need consult someone on nutrition again.
With Juice Feasting you will:
- Understand the underlying causes of disease.
- Know what the best resources are out there are.
- Have no doubt in your mind what the best foods available are, and what they do for you.
- Develop confidence through experience in your own ability to heal.
- Be a leader among your family, friends, community, and society.
- Develop a mind on fire, a true super-sponge; your body an understandable thing of beauty; your life—a vibrant conduit for the highest good possible!
We all want excellent health – no one wants to suffer unnecessarily, or witness their loved ones live less than a vibrant and happy life. Whether we are red, white, black, brown, or yellow; Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, atheist, Jewish, or Hindu; Canadian, American, European, Asian, or from another planet; Republican, Democrat, Anarchist, Socialist, Liberal, or Conservative. . . we all want good health and are tied to the same realities which govern it for better or for worse.
Juice Feasting Has Been Created to Uncover and Unleash The Very Best in You
Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard once said, "Our greatest fear is knowing our own true potential." You have capacities for love, healing, well-being, service, and happiness that are incredible. You no longer need be afraid of knowing your true potential!
From what I have now revealed to you, you can clearly see a multitude of positive results with Juice Feasting. Without question you will also come up with a list of you own personal positive results when you embark on your own Juice Feast using the 92-Day Juice Feasting Nutrition Program for inspiration during and after your Feast.

"I also want to say thank you for the support"
Thanks for writing me back its good to have people that are around to lend a helping hand. I also want to say thank you for the support through blogs and your web site for everyone doing the Juice Feast. I am 25 and have been obese my whole life, and to have the support and charisma is by far one of the most important ingredients in being successful. I can't wait until I have successfully completed my 92 days to show everyone the new me, and to finally be at peace with myself. You guys ROCK!!!!
With Juicy Love, Andria
"I'm in awe of the enormity of the task you have undertaken"
Dear Katrina and David,
I just wanted you to know that I LIVE for your videos and the support materials you are providing. I'm in awe of the enormity of the task you have undertaken on our/the planet's behalf and your ability to synthesize material from such diverse sources into the tangible.
Additional thanks for tackling the difficult subjects e.g. enemas. How ever did you manage to do it clinically and with great humor. I loved seeing George Bush as the test subject.
A huge thank yoooouuuuuu!
"I feel very fortunate to have access to your guidance!"
Hi, David and Katrina.
I"m on Day Five of my first Juice Feast. While I respect your privacy and need for space while you yourselves are cleansing, I can't suppress the impulse to write to thank you for your comprehensive website and your enthusiastic support of those looking for incredible health.
You give us a wealth of information without inundating us with empty rhetoric or hyperbole, you share honestly about your own experiences, you incorporate humor, and you offer opportunities to hear from others on this or similar paths. I"m sure you know already how valuable and groundbreaking your work is. I just want to add my voice to the choir singing your praises.
I wish you continued joy and success. I feel very fortunate to have access to your guidance!
"Wow, your website has changed my life!"
Wow, your website has changed my life! You are both an inspiration to the world and everything in it. The wealth of information and wonderful videos have empowered me to make true shifts in my health, both mentally and physically.
It is my desire to inspire others to overcome their health challenges and let them in on how my journey is going. So instead of just showing my friends and family my daily Juice Feasting blog I would like to share with you both too.
Also, if you have any tips or would like to share your thoughts with me about ANYTHING, I would love to hear from you both. My goal is to overcome candida!
Love and hugs,
Kate, Australia
"This has been one of the most amazing things I've ever done!"
Dear David and Katrina,
I have just watched the last Juice Luck video, and as always it was a pleasure to keep up to date with everyone. I noted your comments on that there had been about 20 (I think) people who had finished the 92 day feast to date.
I just thought I'd comment that I've been there with you guys all the way, I'm on day 81 today and will definitely go the whole 92, have even scheduled a few days away in nature for breaking the feast, but due to my really busy schedule, I've kept abreast of all the news/blogs.
I just want to thank you both for such an amazing programme. You really are contributing so much to the global shift in consciousness and this has been one of the most amazing things I've ever done, physically, emotionally and especially spiritually.
I am a natural therapy practitioner and teacher myself and this will certainly have a knock on effect on all my clients to whom I've been "spreading the word" along the way. I will definitely do the program again in the future!
Thank you for your wonderful contribution to humanity and may you both have many blessings on your journey through life.
With much light to you both,
"It freed me from 20 YEARS of chronic and debilitating fatigue and adrenal problems!"
Hello David!
THANK YOU so much for your life's work! I am sincerely grateful for you and all you have helped me with. I completed a 92 day juice feast last fall and it freed me from 20 YEARS of chronic and debilitating fatigue and adrenal problems not to mention a huge addiction to stimulants just so that I could stay awake in my day job! The juices were a miracle that I prayed for and was so amazed to receive!
You blessed my life David! I thank God for you so much!
I can't tell you how alone I am in my search for health and how much it has helped me change for the better to stumble across your information!
Much much love to you and your sweet family!
Ruthie, Santa Rosa, California
"I've gotten off my anti-depressants AND all my bio-identical hormone replacements."
Dear David and Katrina,
I've been following your juice feast program for 9 days now. I've been searching for the right solution to my health issues and I now know what I need to do. It's shocking that there is so much mis-information out there.
Even after such a short time on the juice feast, I've gotten off my anti-depressants AND all my bio-identical hormone replacements without any menopausal side effects. Wow! And I've lost 7 pounds.
And that nasty black plaque came out of my colon exactly like the photos you posted!
In the next few days I'll break below the 200 pound mark for the first time in several years. It's so exciting! This is a radical shift for me.
Thank you so much!!!
Marguerite, Ladera Ranch, CA
"I am now On Day 9 and I am already feeling good things happen to me."
David and Katrina,
I just wanted to pop in here to say thanks for this juice feasting. I love the websites and all you have done.… I am now On Day 9 and I am already feeling good things happen to me. I have so much more energy now. I did and hour and a half of exercise today and Never even got sore. I felt so much Stronger too.
This will change the way I eat for the rest of my life. So thank you so much for having this up here and getting so many people doing this too. I love to share with them too.
Doug in Calif.
Living and loving life the way it was meant to be!
"What an amazing source of info!"
That's an awesome site you've got going…
I just spent most of tonight watching and reading and have barely scraped the surface.
What an amazing source of info! Thank you both for being so thoughtful in providing this knowledge and in getting back to people, and basically just sharing your life experience with us all!
It's all very encouraging for me 🙂
Have a great day…
"You and Katrina changed the path of my life"
Hey David and Katrina!
You and Katrina changed the path of my life a few years back with your Juice Feasting Program. I started with a 13 day Juice Feast. I then went from Vegan to Raw Vegan and recently became a Certified Raw Nutritionist and am sharing juice feasting and the power of a raw, plant based diet with anyone who wants to learn.
So, thank-you for your inspiration and support. I wish you all the happiness, health, love and success in the world 🙂
I wonder how many lives you and Katrina have changed… and I smile 🙂 Thanks again 🙂

Answers from David & Katrina Rainoshek to the most frequently-asked questions about Juice Feasting…
Why Does Juice Feasting Work So Well?
Juice Feasting is at a "sweet spot" of significant or deep enough cleansing and healing to take care of most health challenges, while allowing the time for cleansing and healing to play out over a long-enough period with sufficient calories to allow you to Feast while going to work and taking care of your daily life.
Even if it is just a 1-Day, 3-Day, or 7-Day Juice Feast, this is a most accessible and excellent practice to initiate you into the Spectrum of Cleansing with visible results in even a short period of time.
Will I Lose Weight?
Yes! Most people see significant weight loss during a Juice Feast – often 1/2lb to 1lb per day for the first 10-14 days, and 1/4 to 1/2 pound for each Day thereafter.
The weight you are losing has many components. You have uneliminated waste matter in your intestinal tract and colon that will be released – pounds and pounds of it. You will lose extra water weight There is fat loss – and fat stores a great deal of toxicity. Excess fat also creates poor blood sugar balance, so as it drops off, you will metabolize carbohydrates better. If the lymphatic system has been stagnant (you experience this as puffiness in your skin) it will reduce. You will also shed a lot of dead and dying cells, to be replaced by fresh new vibrant tissues.
The bottom line is that disease has weight, and as you lose weight – which you will in a very healthy way (you will be juicing 12-15 lbs of fresh produce each day!) you are removing matter that would otherwise cause ill health and disease. This is an incredible advantage you can access through the use of Juice Feasting as a periodic Life Practice for the rest of your life!
Finally, if you are already at your ideal weight, a shorter-term Juice Feast is most appropriate for you. Consultation with your health professional is always advised for the most skillful application of any health practice.
Am I going to get enough nutrients on a Juice Feast?
Juice Feasting involves drinking the juice of 12-20 pounds of fruit and vegetables every day, in addition to using Green Superfood Complexes (such as Vitamineral Green), Spirulina and Chlorella (65% protein), bee pollen granules, and 1-2 Tablespoons of high-Omega-3 content oils. For most of us, no matter what our dietary history before a Juice Feast, this is more nutrition – and more bioavailable nutrition – than we may have ever received in our lifetimes (save our months/years of breastfeeding).
What is The Spectrum of Cleansing? What is the difference between all these cleanses out there from Water Fasting to Juice Feasting?
There is what I (David Rainoshek) call a Spectrum of Cleansing, which is a spectrum of legitimate detoxification and healing techniques (practiced from pre-modern times to the present) that move in two general trends:
- Short-Term Cleansing/Healing to Long-Term Cleansing/Healing
- Quick and Deep Cleansing/Healing to Gradual Long-Term Cleansing/Healing
From Short-Term, Quick and Deep Cleansing/Healing to Long-Term, Gradual Cleansing/Healing, the Spectrum of Cleansing looks like:
Each of these are legitimate practices of cleansing and healing that have been fully tried and tested with great success cross-culturally for a total of thousands of years. How to choose? The first question is, "Are You Experienced?" or "How Experienced Are You?" in each of these practices:
- Dry Fasting
- Water Fasting
- Juice Fasting
- Juice Feasting (the "Sweet Spot" of Cleansing and Healing)
- Modified Juice Feasting
- Smoothie Feasting
- Raw/Live Vegan Diet
- Vegan Diet
- Vegetarian Diet
- Whole Foods Diet
Juice Feasting has been developed to be accessible and do-able by almost anyone, regardless of prior cleansing experience or type of health challenge (that being said, do consult your health professional). Juice Feasting is at a "sweet spot" of significant or deep enough cleansing and healing to take care of most health challenges, while allowing the time for cleansing and healing to play out over a long-enough period with sufficient calories to allow you to Feast while going to work and taking care of your daily life.
Even if it is just a 1-Day, 3-Day, or 7-Day Juice Feast, this is a most accessible and excellent practice to initiate you into the Spectrum of Cleansing with visible results in even a short period of time.
Over the years, you will find yourself personally and intimately familiar with the entire Spectrum of Cleansing, and understand intellectually and intuitively which part of the Spectrum is skillful for you any given time or health reality that you encounter. The Spectrum of Cleansing is a basket of Nutritional Life Practices that is absolutely essential. Enjoy developing your skills and knowledge over time, at your pace.
How will I function at work while I'm Juice Feasting?
Many people have Juice Feasted while continuing to meet their life's daily demands.
Many people even report feeling more inspired, energized, focused, and productive while Juice Feasting, and actually exceed the expectations of their work place.
Juice Feasting is a cleanse though, and it is normal to have days where your energy is lower and more rest is needed to support healing. If possible on these days, stay at home and assure those around you that they will be rewarded with a healthier, more productive you if you are allowed to rest and heal.
What Equipment Will I Need For My Juice Feast?
For making juice you will need:
- Juicer and/or a high speed blender and nut milk bag
- Cutting board
- Chef's knife
- Storage containers for juice (our favorite is the wide mouth mason jar, perfect for juice storage and juice drinking.)
- Fridge space
For cleansing support you will need:
- Enima bag
- Skin brush
For more detailed info, please refer to the Kitchen, Bath, and Body section of the Juice Feasting Intro.
Isn't it Difficult to Stay Just on Juice?
>Many people find that Just Juice is so wonderful they never want to stop Juice Feasting! But, without the right support and/or life circumstance it can be difficult.
We have designed the Juice Feasting program with your success in mind! It is there to support you in your journey, and we hope to minimalize difficulty. We also encourage you to remember that anything worthwhile will be difficult at times, and Juice Feasting is no different.
The rewards on a Juice Feast are often far greater than the difficulties, making the effort meaningful and exciting, remember you are on a Hero's Journey!
Can I Juice Feast while taking my pharmaceuticals? Can I get off my medications?
This one requires prudence, and we ask that you seek medical guidance with your health professional.
We understand that seventy percent of all Americans are on pharmaceuticals, and the rest of the westernized world is not far behind. We can also say that from our education and experience, most – if not all – of the pharmaceuticals prescribed merely palliate and address symptoms instead of removing underlying causes. Many, many Juice Feasting students and adherents of diets further up the Spectrum of Diet beyond the Standard American Diet have left their pharmaceuticals behind for good. I (David Rainoshek, M.A.) did.
That being said, there are tens of thousands of pharmaceuticals out there, and we cannot advise you, our many wonderful students, on each and every one, and whether it is safe or not to Juice Feast while taking them. We are not medical doctors. Please, please, please consult your physician or health professional about your pharmaceuticals and Juice Feasting
My diet is the worst ever, and I have eaten like Morgan Spurlock in Super Size Me for years. Can I go right into a Juice Feast?
The conventional wisdom – back in the days of only water fasting – was that no one wanted to enter a fast unless they had already cleared some of the old stuff out. This was actually good advice, because water fasting, as we have said, does not support the organs of elimination, and a re-entry into your system of years-old toxic McMatter is very unpleasant, to say the least.
Juice Feasting allows us to play by different rules. We can go from any diet right into a Juice Feast without any cleansing/health preparation beforehand. Green Vegetable Juices, of which you are drinking a minimum of 2 quarts each day, act like Liquid Plumber to help the un-eliminated waste matter in your intestinal tract and colon move right on out. We are also employing the use of Intestinal Movement Formula and the Intestinal Drawing Formula to isolate and move out toxins, in addition to enemas, hot/cool showers, exercise, Natural Cellular Defense (to grab industrial chemicals, agrochemicals, and food additives), etc. so that all these things move efficiently from your system. Also, because you are actually feeding yourself everything you need, the cleansing process at the cellular level is slowed just a bit over water and juice fasting, and this means that the McMatter there will release more slowly, reducing significantly cleansing reactions and healing crises.
What is Juice Envy?
This is a term David coined in 2013 to describe the look in his wife's eyes when she smelled his delicious, fresh squeezed juices: life-affirming, inspired envy.
(David did share his juices with Katrina, and she was pleased with all the freshness it brought to her days while not doing a full Juice Feast due to the fact that she is still breastfeeding their baby son.)
Many people who are Juice Feasting inspire those living with them to start drinking more juice and eating more fresh food just because their juices and the process of juicing smells so good!
Also, the health benefits of Juice Feasting are noticeable in a very short period of time, and this is very attractive to those around you… who doesn't want to be well and radiate health and vitality?
Your partner, your friends, your extended family – these significant people in your life may find themselves inspired to Juice Feast and upgrade their lives, as well. (And you don't need to say anything… just do what you do – they will see the results and ask).
Where is more support?
Great question! Everyone needs support of some kind on a Juice Feast. We have set up for you several guaranteed options for Juice Feasting support of a knowledgeable and engaging people. First is The Juice Feasting Green Room for Members of the 92-Day Juice Feasting Nutrition Program.

In Episode 4 of the Off Grid Scout, you get to tag along and see a five-acre piece of property for sale that is listed at $3,800. The five-acre property is 150 miles, Southeast of Las Vegas. In the episode, you get to drive along and see what the landscape is like. This would be an excellent place to consider off the grid housing. In the video, the Off Grid Scout will check out three properties. South from Las Vegas, the drive passes through California for a bit, then back into Arizona. The first location was a bust as the piece of property cuts through some private property, so you don't get to see it. It seems in a location like this the neighbors that you would have would be few and far between and are people who want their privacy. If anything this whole area has wide open spaces and beautiful views. The area is dry and hot. The location of the property is between Yucca and east of Needles, California. And while you might not have gotten to see the actual property it gives you a sense of what it would be like to have a property in this location. If you are looking for a property that is well priced, and in the middle of nowhere, this would be the place for you.
There are pros and cons to off the grid housing. If solar is something that you wish to use in your house off the grid, there will be an initial cost, to install the renewable energy that will save you plenty of money in the future on your monthly power bill. The amount you save on energy costs from installing solar will differ depending on the state that you live in and the solar power system or energy source you use, but the average monthly savings from solar alone can be around $84. Most solar has a projected lifespan of about 20 years, or more so the savings can add up to over $20,000 in most states.
Aside from the lower base cost of solar, you can further cut your monthly energy bill by selling surplus energy back to your local power company via something called net metering. This will depend on the state that you live, but several states also require that the utility companies produce a regular quota of renewable energy certificates, or RECs, each year, which further offers economic benefits. While you do need to be tied to the main grid system for this sort of method to work, they can be helpful if you're planning on using any local energy source to supplement your power generation. A house of the grid can also offer you flexibility on how you live. Connecting a remote tiny house residence to the electrical power grid can be a major hassle. You will have to jump through all sorts of regulatory hoops and pay anywhere from $5 to $15 per foot of distance from the service pole to your home. However, the flexibility of having a renewable energy source provides a simpler alternate solution. Renewable energy sources remove your grid dependence entirely. If you don't need to stay connected to the main power grid, you can avoid the long and costly process of getting your piece of property connected to the power grid.
You will find this video and more on the Live Radical site. On the site you get to experience travel, off the grid housing, house off the grid, solar power, an off the grid life, investigating sustainable living and so much more.

Celebrate Terra Madre Day, December 10, 2013!
Terra Madre, or Mother Earth in Italian, is a day dedicated to the celebration of local foods. You can join in the celebration by enjoying our locally produced foods or an endangered food item. Like endangered animals, many unique traditional foods are facing the risk of disappearing. In order to slow this process down and highlight these unique food products, Slow Food has established the Ark of Taste. The Ark of Taste is a living catalog of distinct foods that are vanishing.

Building Strength And Resilience After A Sexual Assault: What Works By April Fulton • Oct 4, 2018 The wrenching testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, who is accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of a sexual assault years ago, raises questions about the long-term emotional and physical toll this kind of trauma takes on survivors and how our society responds to those who come forward long after the assault. Many Common Sunscreens May Harm Coral. Here's What To Use Instead By April Fulton • Jul 2, 2018 Hawaii Gov. David Ige is expected this week to sign the world's first ban on the sale of sunscreens containing the chemicals oxybenzone and octinoxate. The state is banning the products because of concerns they may be harming one of the state's biggest attractions — coral reefs. While it doesn't kick in until 2021, the move is already prompting pushback. Kaiser Permanente CEO Says A Bipartisan Health Bill Is The Best Way Forward By April Fulton • Sep 27, 2017 Now that the latest GOP health care proposal is being left for dead, you might think that health care reform efforts are over for the near future. But don't dismiss bipartisan efforts already underway that aim to stabilize the insurance market and potentially give states more flexibility in meeting federal standards. The Perplexing Psychology Of Saving For Health Care By April Fulton • Feb 15, 2017 Spending your own money on health care might mean that you'll be more frugal with it. That's the theory behind health savings accounts, a decades-old GOP concept that's sparking renewed interest on Capitol Hill as Republican lawmakers look for ways to replace the Affordable Care Act. Save The Monkeys, Save The Trees, Sell The Chocolate By April Fulton • Jan 30, 2017 Mika Peck, a conservation ecologist at England's University of Sussex, was frustrated. He'd been researching and publishing papers for years on the near-extinction of the Ecuadoran brown-headed spider monkey, and not much was happening to change the primate's extremely threatened status. Not much, that is, until he started connecting the monkeys to gourmet chocolate. Nowruz: Persian New Year's Table Celebrates Spring Deliciously By April Fulton • Mar 20, 2016 A version of this story first ran in March 2014. The first day of spring is cause for a celebration, especially after the winter many of us have been having. But it's hard to top the 13-day festivities of the Persian New Year, Nowruz. Nowruz, or "new day" in Persian, is an ancient festival that marks the beginning of spring and celebrates the rebirth of nature. And naturally, it has a lot to do with fresh, green foods just beginning to poke out of the ground that remind us winter is not, in fact, eternal. The Martini: This American Cocktail May Have An International Twist By April Fulton • Jun 19, 2013 There's no cocktail more distinctly American than the martini. It's strong, sophisticated and sexy. It's everything we hope to project while ordering one. Baltimore-born satirist H.L. Mencken is said to have called the martini "the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet." But is the martini perfectly American? Maybe not entirely. So in honor of National Martini Day on Wednesday, we decided to dig into the drink's muddled past. Whole Foods Founder John Mackey On Fascism And 'Conscious Capitalism' By April Fulton • Jan 16, 2013 UPDATE at 12:35 p.m., ET, Jan. 17: Many of you wrote in to tell us you were taken aback by Whole Foods top executive John Mackey characterizing the health law as fascism in an NPR interview, and apparently, he's feeling a little sheepish. About three minutes into his otherwise amiable chat with CBS This Morning hosts on on Thursday, Mackey walked back his comments in response to a direct question from Norah O'Donnell: Food Waste Is Overwhelming. Here Are Five Things People Are Doing About It By April Fulton • Aug 22, 2012 The food world is buzzing today about the latest news on just how often we waste perfectly good food. And we admit, the statistics are pretty depressing. About 40 percent of food in the United States today goes uneaten. The average American consumer wastes 10 times as much food as someone in Southeast Asia — up 50 percent from Americans in the 1970s. Yet, 1 in 6 Americans doesn't have enough to eat, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And food waste costs us about $165 billion a year and sucks up 25 percent of our freshwater supply. Discarded Food Cans Turn Into Canvas For British Street Artist By April Fulton • Jul 18, 2012 Those eyes grab you first. Only after a couple of beats do you realize you're looking at the painted bottom of a flattened metal can left on the street, and not some mysterious fairy. These can art people come from the imagination of a British artist known as My Dog Sighs, who has left a piece of art on the street for someone to find every Friday for the last 10 years.

What is happening at the Lindcove Research and Extension Center
- Author: Therese Kapaun
Published on: June 13, 2013
June is a busy time of year for potting rootstocks in the LREC greenhouses. This month we will be transplanting nearly 3000 seedlings to give them time to grow before budding this fall with various scions for four research projects.
Gerry Perez, Senior Agricultural Technician, is directing the soil sterilization procedure for the potting mix, which we make ourselves. We use a concrete mixer to combine the soil ingredients, pour the mixture into a custom built steam trailer, and then heat the mixture to 210° F for 30 minutes. The pots are also heat-treated at this temperature.

The pictures shown in the exhibition bear witness of the special encounters of the photographer with unique people on his trips through Africa and Asia. Since 1998 Jan C. Schlegel regularly travels to remote places, which are secluded from the tourism of the western world. On his tours the artist observed the rapid decline of traditions and increasing change of the way of life of the people within their tribes due to globalisation. The inexorable changes woke the urgent wish in the photographer to portrait people, to capture impressions and to preserve traditional life forms in his pictures. Thus Schlegel not only creates artistic photographs, but also documents and preserves unique pieces of art – the people themselves. None of people photographed wear special make-up or were specially dressed before the photographs were taken. Nothing was staged, nothing is fake. They were all captured in their own habitat – at the market, in the village square, or simply on the roadside. The only stylistic device Schlegel uses for each one of his photographs is a simple grey background.
During the last years Schlegel visited 61 countries, always in search of the distinctive beauty and variety of the people. The picture's compositions, the highly contrasted play of light and shadow.
Thus we meet Biwa, 44 years, from Ethiopia (image at left), one of the most respected warriors of his Karo tribe. With pride and great strength he poses in front of the photographer. His fame means, he has killed three lions, four elephants, five leopards, fifteen buffaloes and numerous crocodiles.
The black and white photographs from Jan C. Schlegel are taken with a 4 x 5 field camera (Ebony SV45 Ti) on traditional film (Kodak Tmax 400). The Negatives are developed in Kodak D76 Developer 1+1 dilution. Nothing is digitally edited, and the pictures are enlarged on fiber base photographic paper (Efke Varicon Classic FB) in the size of 50 x 60 cm and 77 x 86 cm. Afterwards each photographic print is partly toned with Schlegels own mixture. Over two years the artist has personally developed this mixture, which gives the photographs a special internal strength and depth. Often this process takes several hours and turns out differently with each print. This way each print is unique. To guarantee a maximum life and enhance the depth in the shadows each picture is Selen toned and mounted on 2 mm solid aluminium. Jan C. Schlegel was born in 1965 in the Black Forest of Germany. He is married and has three children. He discovered his passion for photography at the age of 14 with in the scope of a Photo course at school. For his first own camera, the reflex camera Minolta XG9, the 14 year-old saved long. As winner of a AGFA photo competition with focus on portraits, Schlegel took part in a seminar by the photographer Walter Schels in the Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich. Under Walter Schel's influence Jan C. Schlegel began to ascertain his fervor for black-and-white portraits.

That's One Way to Tweet
Is the White House Bypassing the Media on Gun Control?
What's driving the public chatter over gun control? I'm surprised to say it's probably the White House (emphasis mine):
What's interesting about this is that it provides at least some rudimentary evidence that it is not just those in the media that are continuing to talk about topics such as gun control; it is the mass public as well. That being said, the biggest boost in the discussion of the issue by the mass public (the second set of peaks on the right part of the figures) came following President Obama's gun control speech on January 16th, suggesting that while the public remains interested, elites (and especially the president) can play an important role in sustaining that interest. Of course, the data (which show tweets on "gun control" trending up before the President's speech) are also consistent with a world in which public opinion may have encouraged him to act as well. ...
[T]he pattern of Tweets clearly is consistent with Danny's claim that the Tweeting is being driven by the White House as opposed to visa versa. And yet, it is still interesting to see that it is not just journalists "covering the story", but indeed tens if not hundreds of thousands of individuals (with the caveat again that these are just counts of tweets) that are doing so as well. The ability to see citizens in action this way is a new opportunity for social scientists—as indeed is the ability for citizens to "speak" publicly in this way!—and one which I think will prove very interesting to follow.
