Juicing For Health – Juicing For Life

Two years ago we showed the movie Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead at Nantucket Atheneum and it still generates a lot of conversation with those who were there and clients facing health and weight challenges.  Its an inspiring film of human triumph worth a look.  Here’s a brief clip.  You can borrow a copy from the Atheneum and visit the website www.fatsickandnearlydead.com.

Polarity Therapy founder, Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, ND, DC, recommended many home remedies to his patients to help with common ailments in his book Health Building.  Below are some Raw Juice Extraction Recipes from his book.  When juicing its always recommend to use organic produce that hasn’t been sprayed with insecticides or other chemicals because any pesticide residues will become concentrated by the process of extraction.
