    My father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He was told he was going to die and that traditional Western treatments, such as chemo, surgery, ect, would do very little to change that. Yet the doctors still pushed him to receive such treatments.
    Instead, he Went down to Mexico to the gersen clinic and did the gersen therapy. Adopted a plant based/raw food diet, and 5 years later he was 100% cancer free.
    Western medicine is good at sewing lacerations, plugging bullet holes, and dealing with traumatic injuries. They are not good at dealing with cancer or chronic diseases.

    I stopped juicing years ago because it raised my blood sugar so badly. However, if I do a blended salad, no spikes. I use a large bunch of kale or spinach (whichever I have on hand), parsley, bell peppers (all colors), mushrooms, radishes, carrots, celery, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, onions, cucumbers, garlic, ginger and avocados with a scoop of the Doc's wheatgrass powder, a tbsp of olive oil, a tbsp of MTC oil, and 2 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar. Blend it up and drink. Delicious! I have a blended salad for breakfast, a medium sized meal for dinner (usually 3-4 ozs of protein and a large bowl of steamed mixed veggies with butter) and then another blended salad before bed. I've lost weight, improved my A1C and sleep better at night now.

      I don't get this. When most people do blending they have to add in a lot of fruit to make it palatable. While if you use a juicer you can make it all veggies and it'll still come out tasting kinda sweet. Not as sweet as orange juice but still sweet, so you don't have to add the fruits to it. So if you have to add fruits to your smoothies just so you can drink it wouldn't that spike your BS more than a juice that's just veggies?

    • @cmcnabblss
      @cmcnabblss Před 5 lety +15

      Oliv Trees The thing that causes the blood sugar to spike is the fact that with juice there is no fiber to slow down the metabolic process even if they are both liquids. The juice is much more potent to those who struggle with BS spikes because of if. With smoothies you get to keep all the fiber and have a much lower chance of spiking your BS.

    Lightly steaming kale then fast cooling with ice in water takes off the kale bitterness, and it blends more smoothly. Love your recommendations.

  • @yamamancha
    @yamamancha Před 6 lety +51

    -Ginger and lemon and/or lime will make just about any green juice taste good (or at least palatable). Besides, the more you juice, the more you get used to the bitter stuff.
    -And adding a half an apple, enough to sweeten any recipe, per liter of green juice equates to approx. 10g carbs from the apple. If planned correctly, it's certainly possible to avoid insulin spikes and/or maintain ketosis.
    -Juice still has the soluble fiber of the fruit and some of the insoluble fiber, especially if you don't strain the juice.
    Personally, I blend on a daily basis because it's so fast and easy but I prefer juicing. Well-informed, well-planned juicing is the ultimate luxury and the benefits are endless.

      @@eltocayo87 Do you blend your frozen fruits and/or veggies to make smoothies? Did you use less ice or no ice as a result? If yes, that could be a side benefit. I don't have to add ice, I just use the frozen berries and/or veggies to make a smoothie. I know right, big benefit. Well, sometimes adding ice dilutes the taste of the smoothie. Just saying. Because the ice dilutes the flavor from the berries, etc. when blending. Not juicing, of course. And when blending, when adding ice, if you don't consume completely, after a certain period of time, the smoothie separates more when I added ice compared to no ice. I haven't juiced. But if juicing can be done on frozen veggies, then the juice will be cold. If that what one wants. I like my smoothies cold. So, same with juicing? But I tried juicing from other people, and it didn't matter if it was cold or not. I haven't seen anyone juiced frozen veggies. So, probably they thaw them first. Correct? Can't juice frozen veggies and fruits?

    I seem to have a compromised digestive system and for me, juicing helps me get the nutrients I need. I typically try to only use green apples and even then, each batch can have different levels of sugar in them. Tastes test and judge. I never put a whole apple in. Right now I have a bag of organic green apples, smaller than normal. Even so I only use half of it for making 3-4 cups of juice.
    I have done smoothies but my experience is they need more sugar (bananas). I have substituted plain yogurt in recipes where it calls for Vanilla flavored yogurt (which for the life of me I don't get why anyone would want any flavored yogurt if they are serious about their health).
    I will buy 2-3 lemons and blend them to a paste, put in an ice cube tray (1 TBSP per cube) and freeze. Then in a freezer bag and take out as needed for cooking.

      Check out the health benefits of using a high-powered blender like the Vitamix. There are many recipes on CZcams for green drinks of various types. The one bad thing about some of the videos is the mixing of the bad with the good and using a powerful blender with the wrong ingredients. It is too easy for people to justify the use of bad ingredients like sugars, etc. when the instrument is “healthy”. People seem to use any method of justifying and legitimizing their bad habits, etc. -- after all, I'm using vegetables and a highly rated blender -- so what, if I am blending the bad with the good, the machine is healthy, so anything coming out of it must be also -- NOT SO FAST. Exercise in general can be good, but over-exercising or doing the right exercises in poor form can literally damage you . . . so can the ingredients being used in these blenders and those propagating good health on CZcams. Compare and be discerning because: actions always brings consequences and ignorance can bring devastating results.

    Juicing is really popular today & for good reasons. Here's a tip: When you're cooking up a big pot of greens, don't toss out what may be the most nutritious part - the brothy water that's left in the pot. Lots of the beneficial nutrients cook out of the greens. And what's left behind is called pot liquor or "potlikker." This is what people do when they extract the liquid in juicing vegetables. Pure fiber has no nutrients content. Some people even re-use the juice pulp by making burgers, adding it to smoothies, etc.

This allows the body to receive the highest degree of nutrition that food has to offer; even more than juicing, blending, & chewing does._*
    It is very Good for people who are sick with _Chronic Disease trying to strengthen their immune system and prevent deficiency to help the body heal itself._ I'm ordering one off Amazon _(free shipping)_ that is 3times cheaper than your average Juicer and cost less than a Blender.

No doctor was able to help him; he had what looked like psoriasis all over his body. It was horrible! I prayed to God to show me what to do and immediately after I prayed there was a small paragraph in a book I was reading on health that said wheat grass helps heal the skin.

    I get all those fresh and freeze them,beet tops too..cabbage...keeps well, blends up great. I also use garlic ,Himalayan salt pinch ,acv...cacao. Berries freeze up great as well. I don't use too much of them ,just enough to cut the bitterness. I use a green powder ,all this has really helped me...sometimes I do some hot pepper for kick.

    Green juice that tastes pretty good:
    -Celery
    -Cucumber (low sugar fruit)
    -Lime
    I usually use one medium to big cucumber for one nice bunch of celery sticks and a whole lime together. The lime makes it taste good, it's not like an orange juice but it's absolutely drinkable and doesn't spike your insulin and blood sugar as much. The key to juices is that you drink them slowly. Also a side note - the most nutritious part of celery is it's leaves apart from sticks, but sadly you probably won't find those in stores.

      But the sugar is more concentrated in juicing plus you get rid of the fibre which slows down the absorbtion of sugar. Result: higher blood sugar levels.

  • @DidiGrooves
    @DidiGrooves Před 7 lety +1

    Questions for Dr. Berg:
    1. Can I substitute carrot juice with a kale juice or smoothie? I currently juice carrots (2 lbs a day) to support my eyes. I know that carrot juice is high in sugar so alternatives would be good. I'm not overly worried about the sugar of my carrot juice though because I've quit all other sugar, sweeteners, sweets and almost all fruits as well as alcohol from my diet.
    2. What do you think about grapefruit juice? I have been lately juicing 1.5 grapefruits+1 lemon+half inch ginger+inch turmeric every morning and I feel great, the juice is quite bitter.
    3. Do you ever juice other vegetables? I have been lately putting 1-2 garlic cloves, onion as well as sometimes fresh habanero peppers (few seeds) to my green juice (celery, cucumber, ginger, turmeric, 1/4 or 1/2 green apple and even dandelion sometimes). It comes out super hot and sometimes I must dilute it with H2O. I also juice beet root, red cabbage and radish.
    4. Could you make a video about bone broth? I stopped buying protein powders because they have too many additives and they taste terrible, too sweet etc., but I do like to make a good bone marrow broth for a week to eat and I eat it after workouts with pulp crackers. I am, however, concerned, that it might have too much fat for adrenal body type. If you cook a broth yourself, it is unbelievably fatty and a coffee mug of it fills me for hours.
    5. What about coconut milk? I've been in tropics quite a lot and I always drink fresh coconuts when I am down in Florida or in tropics. It's high in potassium, but it's sweet. How do you view sugars from coconuts? Trader Joe's has a new coconut water that is organic and not from a concentrate and tastes almost like fresh coconut water.
    6. What do you think about "bulletproof" hot drinks? Many people drink bulletproof coffee. I only drink Swiss Water decaf because it reduces 99.9% of caffeine in the beans, but, boy, adding butter and coconut milk gives so much energy even with the decaf. Not a caffeine buzz, but a literal energy wave.
    Anyway, I just like juicing. I love bitter green juices, even kale dandelion and I wish I'd have plants like stinging nettle and similar "weeds" to juice. However, I tried a kale spinach smoothie and I hated it. Is there a downside if I juice, given that I eat enough fiber?
    Not sure if you read the comments, but if yes, I'd love to see some new videos on those topics, maybe, please.

  • @constancelovejoy7308
    @constancelovejoy7308 Před 8 lety +13

    I really don't like drinking blended fruits with vegetables, aka smoothies. Another drawback to smoothies is you have to add fruit to it to make it taste good, even if it is just berries. Blended vegetables without fruit is known as soup! The only raw soup I like to make is gazpacho. Juicing is definitely more time consuming to make then smoothies. As a raw vegan, I like to opt for a freshly made green juice when I go out to eat instead of salads at restaurants because the salads are usually very small in size and not filling. Whereas a freshly made green juice is quite satisfying. I am so glad juice bars have become popular. Smoothie joints tend to add processed sugar to their blended drinks, so that's another drawback with smoothies, you can't trust what people put into them. At a juice bar I can tell them which vegetables to add or I see the complete list of what they will add to the chosen juice they make for me. I like that juices provide more nutrients than smoothies because most people aren't getting enough nutrients or enough of the right kind. I'm a juice girl all they way. I occasionally will drink a smoothie, but only if I make it myself. I won't buy & drink smoothies sold in stores. When I have an excess of veggies I've grown I can make an easily digestable blended raw cold soup. I can even do this with left over fresh veggies to avoid food waste! So juicing & blending are ways to avoid food waste, especially if you have a surplus.
