| 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.
