Re[2]: Ketosis - Good Or Bad??

Hello Frank,

With a water fast, you don't worry about colon cleansing. Make you wonder if it is necessary for MC. Some authors say colon cleansing is not necessary.

Wendy,

I think I have the answer to why juice and discard the pulp (fiber), then take a laxative to promote bowel function, as silly as that may sound.

Even though fiber is basically good for scrubbing out the intestines, it isn't good for detoxing other parts of the body. Since pure raw vegetable or fruit juice requires little energy for digestion, it makes that energy available for detoxing. Moreover, the raw juice should be loaded with enzymes, provided the juice is fresh and not canned juice that's been pastrurized for storage life thus killing all the nutrients in the juice.

That's why I like the Burroughs Master Cleanser because I can make the lemonade by hand and not need a juicer.

I'm also aware there's somewhat of a controversy between the juicers and the blenders, because of the fiber issue. I think for green drinks people prefer blending with the fiber left in. But I really think that's a different topic than cleansing. It's more in the nutritional area of detoxing rather than cleaning out the GI tract and having excess energy and body enzymes to carry out detoxing and healing reactions in the body. That's just my interpretation and opinion. I hope others who don't agree will speak up so we can all benefit from additional information and opinions. I'm also concerned about some of the green drink recipes that combines fruits and vegetables in the same drink, thus violating the priciples of food combining, and alkalinity forming combinations.

I personally favor blending. Some of the cancer prevention books I've read favor it. Another crackpot idea of mine, that may not work, is to get a top of the line blender, blend first, then run the blended product through an ordinary inexpensive blender after the fiber has been already broken up beforehand. Is this a practical idea juicers?

Frank,

These are pretty much the same thoughts I have. I have an enormous amount

of detoxing to do and weight to lose. I have decided that water fasting

really is the best (and only, in the literal sense of the word) fast.

However, I also realize my body isn't ready for something that extreme. So,

before I put my body through a fast, I am going to go on an all raw diet.

There will be lots of carbs, but I am not trying to put my body into ketosis

(yet.)

I personally can't even figure out why someone would want to take the fiber

out of their food only to turn around and give themselves an enema because
