Norwalk Juicers & the Gerson Therapy

I'm about 1/3 of the way through the book, "The Gerson Therapy: The Proven Nutritional Program For Cancer and Other Illnesses."

Apparently Dr. Gerson recommends the Norwalk Juicers. The things aren't cheap though - $2,495 and it's yours! Good thing my birthday is coming up ;-)

This book has some interesting points, though, which have some similar findings to the Paleo Diet. It sounds to me like Dr. Gerson recommends doing his (vegan, mostly organic fruits and veggies) diet 75% of the time, with room for you to eat whatever you want the other 25% of the time if you are basically healthy. So my thinking is it could essentially be very much like the Paleo Diet if you ate 75% fruits and veggies and 25% lean meat. The key being, lots of organic fruits and veggies help your body charge up, repair and rebuild its cells.

Back on the bandwagon!

I've been slacking on the Paleo Diet these past few months (and my sugars have been in the 300-400s!) but Mitch and I are going to start it again in full force next week.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21 is the big "start again" day.

The one modification I am going to make is to try not to eat as much animal protein, and to eat more veggies instead.
