Does Juicing Help

[dontworry_behappy1]

Anyone do juicing during treatment?

[James10500]

What specific instances in this forum should doctors have suggested changes in diet, instead of prescribing drugs to treat HCV.  Don't bag on the docs and the companies that save our lives.

Wow now it's a conspiracy, the drug companies don't want you to juice.  We all support each other especially those going through tx, but there is a difference between supporting people and allowing BS to fly.

A) Juicing doesn't cure HCV
B) Juicing done not improve anemia caused by HCV tx.

Doctor doctor my hgb is 8.2 what do I do? Here drink some of this juice....really?  

Please provide clinical studies when making these outlandish claims, because people deserve to know the facts about HCV and the tx of.  Not ridiculous claims about ginger root and kale.

I think after all the quacks who've shown up here over the years claiming odd things would cure you of hep C, nygirl may have assumed that is what the poster meant.
I'm so out of touch with current lingo, I just thought the poster meant making juice.

Of course Hector was being humorous. I thought it was funny but I could see how it could be taken offensively.

I found this from the mayo clinic:

Is juicing healthier than eating whole fruits or vegetables?
from Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.

Juicing probably is not any healthier than eating whole fruits and vegetables. Juicing extracts the juice from fresh fruits or vegetables. The resulting liquid contains most of the vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals (phytonutrients) found in the whole fruit. However, whole fruits and vegetables also have healthy fiber, which is lost during most juicing.

Not sure about orange juice, but what ever you do, DONT do what I did, a few days ago. I started chewing a bunch of chewable vitamin c tablets (ascorbic acid) and they tasted yummy, and I was sitting here typing, so I chewed some more, and some more..and then....the next day I got my very first mouth sore, so I think that kind of acid does eat thru the skin...doh
   The problem with me, and my "natural remedies" is that I tend to over-do stuff sometimes...I replaced my drug addiction with Health Food addiction. In fact, I was doing the gluten free thing, at least 15 yrs ago, and boy was that expensive!!  I was positive, after reading "The Yeast Connection", that I had been infiltrated with mold and mildew!
    I always try to remind myself about all things, "moderation is the key"
