It is our heritage to be healthy and pain free.

The Brain Stimulator

For this juice to be effective, you need a five-day juice fast to clear the coffee, donut and junk food residues out of the bloodstream. Once clear, this wide-spectrum, nutrient-rich juice will stir the brain into super-activity. Better memory, sharper thinking and good study techniques are the tools for great marks. No more morning brain fog. Now you can leap out of bed to study while brushing your teeth and preparing for the day.

Fabulous Fennel

1 fennel bulb

2 apples

If you enjoy the taste of licorice, you will love fennel. This unusual vegetable looks like fat celery with feathers. Fennel helps your eyes to increase in sensitivity, overcoming night blindness. Some have found fennel juice good for relieving migraine headaches.

Garlic Breath Delight

2 tomatoes
2 apples
1 clove of garlic
sprig of parsley

This bacteria buster means business. Garlic reduces blood pressure, helps with the problem of blood clotting, lowering the LDL which increases bad cholesterol. Garlic boosts the immune system and encourages the recovery of heart attack victims. Garlic contains allicin which inhibits bacterial growth and fungus, helping with yeast over-growths, and useful in treating candida. Garlic increases the flow of digestive enzymes and encourages detoxification through the skin. The addition of parsley helps in combating the unpleasant odor of garlic. This juice is worth losing a few friends over.

The Cancer Killer

1 beet
1 carrot
1 celery stick
1/2 potato
1 radish

Rudolf Breuss's, anticancer mixture has helped thousands of suffering people. This juice blend, during fasting, exerts a death blow on cancer. This was attested by over 24,000 patients who wrote him describing relief from their diseases. His patients were given small amounts of this juice over 42 days. A tea composed of nettle, St. John's wart, marigold, artemisi and monarda was also given. By "starving out" the cancer, Rudolf Breuss reported a 96% success rate for the thousands of patients he treated over 30 years of practice. (Rudolf Breuss died in 1989 at 93 years of age.)

Its composition is: 55% beet root, 20% celery root, 20% carrot, 3% potato, 2% radish.

Apple-berry Better Bladder

2 apples
1 1/4 cups of cranberries

Cranberry juice is a powerful healing tonic, filled with quinine which changes to hippuric acid in the liver. Hippuric acid is able to assist in the removal of purines, uric acid, urea and toxic build-up in the prostate gland, testicles, kidneys and bladder. An excellent preventative juice for North American men who are battling the increased risk of prostate cancer. It is a wonderful defense against yeast infections for women. Cut apples into wedges, seeds and all.

The Niagara Falls Cleanser

1 wedge watermelon
1/2 lb. red grapes

Watermelon rind has chlorophyll, vitamin A, protein, potassium, zinc, iodine, nucleic acids and enzymes which aid digestion. Ninety-five percent of the nutritional content in watermelon is in the rind. The seeds may be a little noisy but are harmless to the juicer.

You may be curious about the name. When you put a sloppy wet piece of watermelon in the juicer it comes out like Niagara Falls. Because watermelon is a great diuretic, your kidneys and bladder will experience a honeymoon of youthful health.

If you are short on money, watermelon juice is the ticket. You can add just about anything to watermelon juice, so again, we encourage you to have some fun.

Tom's Favorite

one cantaloupe
5 ice cubes
2 Tbs. of Sucanat
dash of cinnamon

Juice the cantaloupe and blend with Sucanat, cinnamon and ice cubes.

This juice recipe has become our favorite drink. Stunningly refreshing and full of flavor. Has more than 15,000 I.U. of vitamin A and over three times the vitamin C content of an apple. It also contains myoinositol, a lipid which helps with anxiety, insomnia and in battling hardening of the arteries. It also contains the greatest amount of digestive enzymes. Melons are recommended by the American Cancer Society as powerful agents in the fight against intestinal and skin cancer. Cantaloupe contains approximately 100 calories, yet it is dense in nutrients. This makes melon a perfect food for healing and weight loss. Delicious, filling and low in calories.

also, purging/binging/using laxatives isnt really healthy. i mean, there are safe ways to do it.i try to. i mostly try to avoid binging/purging/laxatives all together, but this is a list of natural laxatives and such, tips on it, etc.

Foods - The following are foods that are natural laxatives. Not all of the foods listed help everyone. Every body is different. If you are allergic to any of the foods listed, then do not eat them:

* Almonds
* Aloe Vera
* Apples/Apple Juice
* Dried apricots
* Bananas
* Basil
* Beets
* Carob
* Celery
* Chicory
* Coconut
* Coffee
* Dandelion
* Dates
* Endive
* Fenugreek
* Figs
* Flaxseed
* Grapes
* Kale
* Liquorice
* Mangoes
* Mint
* Molasses
* Olive oil
* Orange juices
* Papayas
* Parsley
* Peaches/Apricots
* Pears
* Persimmons
* Pineapple
* Plums
* Prunes/Prune Juice
* Rhubarb
* Soybeans
* Tamarind
* Tea
* Tomato Juice
* Vanilla
* Walnuts
* Watercress
* Yams

Non-Foods - Other types of laxatives can be purchased over the counter in the form of OTC medication. These forms can be in powders, liquids, pills, capsules and tablets. Not all laxatives listed will work on everyone, and again if you are allergic to any ingredient in the laxative, please to not take it.
Bulk-producing agents cause the stool to be bulkier and to retain more water, as well as forming an emollient gel, making it easier for peristaltic action to move it along. They should be taken with plenty of water. Bulk-producing agents have the gentlest of effects among laxatives and can be taken just for maintaining regular bowel movements.

* Metamucil
* Citrucil
* Dietary fiber

Lubricating laxatives make the stool slippery and can also retard colonic absorption of water, softening the stool.

* Mineral oil (may decrease the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and some minerals.)

Hydrating agents cause the intestines to hold more water within, softening the stool. There are two principal types, saline and hyperosmotic.

* Saline
* sodium phosphate (and variants)
* magnesium citrate,
* Milk of magnesia
* Epsom salt

Saline laxatives attract and retain water in the intestinal lumen, increasing intraluminal pressure and thus softening the stool. They will also cause the release of cholecystokinin, which stimulates the digestion of fat and protein. Saline laxatives may alter a patient's fluid and electrolyte balance.
Sulfate salts are considered the most potent. They can work anywhere from 10 minutes to 6 hours.
Stimulant Laxatives such as Ex-Lax and Senna can be dangerous under certain circumstances. Long term use can lead to 'cathartic colon'. Stimulant laxatives act on the intestinal mucosa, or nerve plexus; they also alter water and electrolyte secretion. They are the most severe among laxatives and should be used only in extreme conditions. Castor oil may be preferred when more complete evacuation is required. Castor oil can work in 2 - 6 hours. Bisacodyl suppository can start ot work anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.
Be careful when using laxatives. Natural laxatives are the best way to go. If you are constipated for more than 5 days you should see your doctor.
