This book can save your life. 5 out of 5 stars.
90 of 94 people found this review helpful.

I first read this book in 1979. At that time, in my late 20's, I was more than 50 lbs. overweight, had periodic severe asthma, increasing frequency of severe colds and flu, and was suffering from depression. My first juice fast was 30 days. It is not possible to describe in writing the positive changes that took place in every aspect of my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. I have done extended fasts (1 - 4 wks), many times since then. Dr. Airola's advice is not "dated," as some readers suggest. It is "classic" and "timeless," because fasting is literally the oldest known health practice in recorded history. Jesus Christ both practiced and recommended fasting to his followers as the ultimate spiritual and physical cure. (Recall, that prior to beginning his ministry, he went into the wilderness for 40 days to fast and pray.) Oddly, most animals have much better instincts than "modern" man - when they are sick or injured, they refuse to eat in order to conserve internal energy in order to allow healing.

One other thing is very obvious from reading the few negative reviews of this book - in every case, these are people who did not have either the desire or the will to put it to the test. It is much easier to criticize something you know nothing about. Common sense should tell us that drugs and surgery are not the answer to problems created by a modern lifestyle which has brought upon us many "civilized" diseases - cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, mental disorders, schizophrenia - to name just a few. There are few books that literally have the power to save a person's life, but, this is truly one of them.

informative yet redundant 3 out of 5 stars.
91 of 93 people found this review helpful.

Last year at x-mas my wife and decided that since we just had a baby and funds were low,that we would buy each other one gift that we picked out around $20.00.
I picked a beard trimmer and my wife picked out the Juice Ladys book.So I thought I would be nice and buy her two Juice Ladys books.
Well the books came and I looked through them,and found to my surprise that the same recipes were printed throughout both books.
A lot of the recipes can be used for the same things.So instead of printing the recipe then putting what it can be used for the recipes are reprinted over and over.
So in retrospect I suggest buying one book instead of two or three with different titles,because they have the same recipes.
I hope this has been of some help for those looking to buy this or other Juice Lady books.

Editorial Review:

In her new book, the Juice Lady explains why the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables is the richest available food source of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. She discusses what enzymes are and why they aren't available in cooked foods, and provides information about the way juice nutrients are absorbed by the body. The first section of The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health gives in-depth information about juice, while the second section provides recipes and dietary tips geared to specific conditions that need attention. The author explores juicing remedies, backed by scientific data and extensive research, and shows how to get the maximum healing potential by incorporating freshly made juices into a daily plan for health, healing, and recovery.

Editorial Review:

When science lets us fulfill our greatest desires, where do we stop? Should Barry Bonds’s startling achievements be listed in the record book with an asterisk because he has been accused of using steroids? Did performance-enhancing drugs play a role in Lance Armstrong’s seven Tour de France victories? And what does Arnold Schwarzenegger’s continued success say about the appeal of his steroid-fueled bodybuilding persona?

In the tradition of And the Band Played On, award-winning journalist Shaun Assael looks at America’s complicated love affair with steroids and how it has grown into the country’s—and perhaps the world’s—most insidious drug addiction.

Steroid Nation presents a chilling portrait of a nation enamored of artificially pumped-up success. Chronicling steroid use far beyond the headlines, it begins with the bodybuilders of Venice Beach in the 1970s and continues through to the NFL’s Raiders of the ’80s and ’90s and the baseball scandals of today. Assael also reveals the dramatic story of the godfather of the steroid movement: Dan Duchaine, who wrote The Original Underground Steroid Handbook in 1981.

Part detective story, part medical investigation, and part sociological examination, Steroid Nation is a groundbreaking work on the most compelling story in the sports world today.

Good resource, but is lacking in instructions 4 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

This book is a great resource for a first time faster. I like the fact that it was published in 2007, so all the information given in this book should be pretty up to date. It tells you everything you need to know about the benefits of juice fasting, what to expect during the detoxing process, what fruits and vegetables are best for juice fasting and their health benefits, juice fasting safety and preparation, what to expect psychologically during fasting, and I absolutely love the juice recipes. What this book is lacking are clear step-by-step instructions to take you through the fasting preparation, the fasting itself, and the breaking of fasting. It's all a bit vague and leaves you slightly confused. For this reason, I suggest this book in combination with Dr. Paavo Airola's "Juice Fasting: The Age-old way to a New you!", a great book with step-by-step instructions, and you should have all the resources you need for a successful fast.

Here is the table of contents:

1. Benefits of a Juice Fast
2. Detoxing for Greater Health
3. Best Fruits and Vegetables for Juicing
4. Juice Fasting Safety and Preparation
5. Choose a Program for Your Fast
6. Handling Your Fast Well
7. Glorious Juice Recipes
8. Ending Your Fast Properly
9. Testimonials
10. About the author

Editorial Review:

Offering a series of quick and easy juice fasts — including a one-day energy boost, a two-day weekend detox, a three-day rejuvenation and a seven-day deep cleanse — this book provides a reader-friendly approach to an increasingly popular, alternative health practice. In Addition to listing recipes, the author details the scientific evidence of how juice fasting can improve quality of life and lengthen lifespan. She explains how to determine one's body toxin level and reveals why it is vital to detox in today's world. More importantly, she breaks down how fresh vegetables, fruits and culinary herbs work to cleanse the body's elimination systems. Guiding the reader step by step through the entire process, The Juice Fasting Bible explains it all: how to prepare for a fast, what physical changes to expect while fasting, how to overcome the challenges of not eating and finally, the best way to resume a normal diet when coming off a fast.

Great little book! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 11 people found this review helpful.

This is a great little book for anyone who loves smoothies (or haven't discovered their passion for them). The book is really cute as well, all black (of course), with a pink label that has the title...pretty chic. I got this in addition to the Little Black Book of Cocktails, which is so fun as well (there's also one for BBQ).

Juicing Makes You Alive 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Those who buy books on juicing tend to do so mostly for the exotic combinations listed. In JUICE ALIVE, Steven Bailey and Larry Trivieri provide that and far more. Their text is a primer on the art of juicing, one that is written for the layman. For those who wish to first read about juicing recipes, they can turn to the second half of the book for the many recipes indicated. What is on interest is that Bailey and Trivieri examine juicing as if it were a mixture of art and science. They begin with an erudite chapter on the basic need for juicing, and how juicing fits in with the larger scope of a healthy diet and lifstyle. They follow with a history of juicing beginning with the ancient Greeks and continuing up to the present day. This historical overview was a little detail heavy yet it serves to remind the reader that juicing is not simply a modern health fad reserved for the Hollywood elite. Their chapter on the nutritional benefits of juicing is of concern to readers who wish to know how enzymes and amino acids interact with digested food to produce energy, which is an area not generally well understood by the layman. I found the digression on the acid-alkaline balance to be of particular use since the choice of fruits and vegetables juiced will dictate whether the juice absorbed will be acidic (unhealthy) or alkaline (healthy). The authors follow with a lengthy list of juicing machines and price ranges, and for those who watch infomercials, the LaLane Power Juicer heads the list.

Since juicing is more than just inserting fruits and vegetables down a chute, it is incumbent that any juicing author explain what to juice and how to juice. This is the authors' strong point. They insist on the need to buy only organic products, and to mix them in combinations that will produce a desired result, most often an optimal acid-alkaline balance that is a requisite for vibrant health. Along the way, they include a staggering variety of herbs that one may add for flavor and health. They also suggest that juicing ought to be part of a periodical fasting in which the user can purge his system of accumulated toxins by eschewing solid food for a week in favor of selected juices. This part of the book was detailed but still the average user can design his own juice fast based on the paradign given. Bailey and Trivieri conclude with a listing of common health problems from acne to allergies to whooping cough and yeast infections. In this section, they include relevant juicing ingredients tailored to that medical issue. Part of the problem I had here was that their juicing ingredients excluded nutritional supplements that ought to round out any self-employed health regimen. Still, in JUICE ALIVE, Bailey and Trivieri present a text that is clearly written and authoritative such that the neophyte juicer can literally drink himself to good health.

Editorial Review:

Jamba, from the African word "jama," meaning to celebrate, is the philosophy of Jamba Juice, a nationally known chain of smoothie and juice stores. Reasons to celebrate include good health, happiness, and of course, delicious, nutritious, all-natural energizing smoothies.

In Jamba Juice Power Jamba Juice founder Kirk Perron shares dozens of his easy-to-prepare smoothie recipes (a blender is the only equipment required), his nutrition advice (developed with a team of scientists and physicians), and his twenty-one-day lifestyle-changing plan with daily tips for mind, body, and spirit and a relevant smoothie recipe. Jamba Juice Power is filled with Jambaisms-"Do unto your body as you would have it do unto you" (Jambaism #3), health fast-fact sidebars, illustrations, and testimonials, all delivered with the hip, irreverent attitude that has made Jamba Juice a phenomenon.
