Raw Juice Therapy
Raw juice therapy is a method of treatment of disease through an
exclusive diet of juices of fruits and vegetables. It is also known as juice
fasting. It is the most effective way to restore health and rejuvenate the
body.
During raw juice therapy, the eliminative and cleansing capacity of the
organs of elimination, namely lungs, liver, kidneys and the skin, is greatly
increased and masses of accumulated metabolic waste and toxins are quickly
eliminated. It affords a physiological rest to the digestive and assimilative
organs. After the juice fasting or raw juice therapy, the digestion of food and
the utilisation of nutrients is vastly improved.
An exclusive diet of raw juices of fruits and vegetables results in much
faster recovery from diseases and more effective cleansing and regeneration of
the tissues than the fasting on pure water.
Dr. Ragnar Berg, a world-renowned authority on nutriton and biochemistry
observes :
"During fasting the body burns up and excretes huge amounts of
accumulated wastes. We can help this cleansing process by drinking alkaline
juices instead of water while fasting. I have supervised many fasts and made
extensive examinations and tests of fasting patients, and I am convinced that
drinking alkali-forming fruit and vegetable juices, instead of water, during
fasting will increase the healing effect of fasting. Elimination of uric acid
and other inorganic acids will be accelerated. And sugars in juices will
strengthen the heart. Juice fasting is, therefore, the best form of fasting. "
As juices are extracted from plants and fruits, they process definite
medicinal properties.. Specific juices are beneficial in specific conditions.
Besides specific medicinal virtues, raw fruit and vegetable juices have an
extraordinary revitalising and rejuvenative effect on all the organs, glands
and functions of the body.
Favourable Effects
The favourable effect of raw juices in the treatment of disease is
attributed to the following facts :
Raw juices of fruits and vegetables are extremely rich in vitamins,
minerals, trace elements, enzymes and natural sugars. They exercise beneficial
effect in normalising all the body functions. They supply needed elements for
the body’s own healing activity and cell regeneration, thereby speeding the
recovery.
1. The juices extracted from raw fruits and vegetables require no
digestion and almost all their vital nutrients are assimilated directly in the
bloodstream.
2. Raw juices are extremely rich in alkaline elements. This is highly
beneficial in normalising acid-alkaline balance in the blood and tissues as
there is over-acidity in most conditions of ill-health.
3. Generous amounts of easily assimilable organic minerals in raw juices
especially calcium, potassium and silicon help in restoring biochemical and
mineral balance in the tissues and cells, thereby preventing premature ageing
of cells and disease.
4. Raw juices contain certain natural medicines, vegetal hormones and
antibiotics. For instance, string beans are said to contain insulin-like
substance. Certain hormones needed by the pancreas to produce insulin are
present in cucumber and onion juices.
Fresh juices of garlic , onions, radish and tomatoes contain antibiotic
substances.
5. Precautions
Certain precautions are, however, necessary in adopting an exclusive diet
of raw juices. Firstly, all juices should be made fresh immediately before
drinking. Canned and frozen juices should not be used. It will be advisable
that one should have one’s own juicer for extracting fresh juices.
Secondly, only fresh ripe fruits and vegetables, preferably organically
grown, should be used for extraction of juices.
Thirdly, only as much juice as needed for immediate consumption should be
extracted. Raw juices oxidise rapidly and lose their medicinal value in
storage, even under refrigeration.
Fourthly, the quality of the juices has a distinct bearing on the results
obtained. In case of incomplete extraction of juices, their effective power is
proportionately reduced due to the absence of the vitamins and enzymes which
are left behind in fibre and the pulp. Finally, if
juices are too sweat they should be diluted in water on 50 : 50 basis or
mixed with other less sweet juices. This is especially important in some
specific conditions such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, arthritis and high blood
pressure.
Fruit and vegetable juices may be divided into six main types. These are
: (i) Juices from sweet fruits such as prunes and grapes. (ii) Juices from
sub-acid fruits like apple, plum, pear, peach, apricot and cherry, (iii) Juices
from acid fruits like orange, lemon, grapefruit, strawberry and pineapple. (iv)
Juices from vegetable fruits, namely, tomato and cucumber. (v) Juices from
green leafy vegetables like cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach, parsley and
watercress. (vi) Juices from root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion,
potato and radish.
Generally speaking, fruit juices stir up toxins and acids in the body,
thereby stimulating the eliminative processes. Vegetable juices, on the other
hand, soothe the jaded nerves and work in a much milder manner.
They carry away toxic matter in a gentle way. Owing to their differing
actions fruit and vegetable juices should not be used at the same time or mixed
together.
It is desirable to use juices individually. In any case not more than
three juices should be used in any one mixture. The following broad rules apply
when using mixtures of juices :
Juices from sweet fruits may be combined with juices of sub-acid fruits,
but not with those of acid fruits, vegetable fruits or vegetables.
