JUICING TIPS

---

All you need are high-quality produce and a good .  

1. Use organically grown, unsprayed produce.
2. Wash all produce.
3. Do not use the skins of oranges and grapefruits because they contain a toxic substance that should not be consumed in large quantities.
4. All pits-peach pits, plum pits, etc. must be removed before juicing.   Seeds of lemon, lime, melon, grape may be placed in the juice along with the fruit.  
5. Don't hesitate to include stems and leaves along with the fruits and vegetables.  However, carrot and rhubarb greens should be removed as they contain toxic substances..
6. Most fruits and vegetables will have to be sliced or cut into chunks or sticks to accommodate the size of your juicer.
7. Bananas and avocados should not be placed in the juicer because they are low in water.

DELICIOUS, VITALIZING JUICE FORMULAS 

Whenever possible, select only those vegetables (or fruits) which are young and tender, and the heaviest in weight or most solid. Those with a deep color are invariably the juiciest. Both the roots and leaves of vegetables should be utilized, for thus only can be obtained all the organic minerals. Carrot tops, for instance, are an excellent source of vitamins G, B, C, and A, and are rich in calcium, iron, and phosphorus. They will do more good to promote health than will commercial preparations. Especially those who are anemic or neurotic should always utilize the juice of the carrot tops along with their regular carrot or other vegetable drinks. Do not try to take more than you can stand. Too much even of a good thing causes a great deal of damage. Remember that you are drinking this juice, not for pleasure, but for health.

The next step in making these juices more appetizing, is to squeeze a small amount of lemon juice into the extractor before putting the vegetables through, then sprinkle a few drops of lemon into the receptacle before catching the finished product. In doing this, no fear need be entertained of violating health precept, for the little lemon juice used is not incompatible with vegetable chemistry. The combinations of the acids in cooked fruits and vegetables, according to best authorities, are harmful and quite different from these same combinations in the raw state.

Tomato juice may be combined with any fruit or vegetable juice, as it is a "neutral" acid.

A pleasant variation in the enjoyment of these vegetable juices, is to combine them with cream or milk, and serve them as hot drinks or as soups.

JUICE FORMULAS

Make or buy a juice-press or extractor--there are several good types on the market--and start in on one or more of the following exhilarating combinations

CELERY JUICE

Wash celery and put through vegetable juicer. Some of the leaves can be used, but they are bitter, so do not use many.

This drink is especially helpful to those who do not sleep well, get up tired, and always have a fatigued feeling, along with extreme nervousness. (Raw leaf lettuce salad will also help to induce sound slumber.)

KIDNEY CLEANSER

There is probably no other fruit or vegetable that has the curative properties of the tomato. In the short space of the last few years tomato juice has become one of America's most popular drinks.

Many delicious drinks can be made by blending tomato juice with the juices of other vegetables.

The Kidney cleanser is made by blending the juice of two or three stalks of celery with a glass of tomato juice. (Asparagus and radish juices may also be added or substituted to give the same effect.)

BLOOD-BUILDER

The juice of several handfuls of fresh, crisp spinach, two or three leaves of lettuce, and a handful of parsley may be blended with tomato juice.

GALL BLADDER CORRECTIVE

This appetizer is made of the juice of tender rhubarb and fresh young asparagus, with a sufficient amount of grapefruit juice added to prevent the rhubarb from stinging.

This is particularly helpful to those who have had the gall bladder removed, and to those who are suffering from gall stones or faulty functioning of the gall bladder. 

THE CUCUMBER--"AID"

Cut unpeeled cucumbers into slices and put through juice extractor. The cucumber is needed for its large amount of organic sodium, which is thought to act as a solvent for excessive mineral deposits that are often the cause of swollen joints and other pains and aches of undetermined origin. After having extracted the juice of the cucumber, sometimes an equal amount of unsweetened fresh pineapple juice and the juice of half a lime may be added.

ENERGIZER

This mixture is composed of the juice of two oranges, one teaspoon pure virgin olive oil, the yolk of one raw infertile egg, and half an orange peel grated very finely on top of the cocktail.

IODINE RECIPE

Women with thyroid and related disorders, also men who have throat or goiter trouble, should often drink this Iodine formula--Spinach juice, a chopped onion, and a chopped garlic. Make this by grinding a bunch of spinach through the juicer. Let the onions and garlic soak in the juice for an hour. Stir thoroughly this mixture, put into cheese cloth, strain through the cloth, and drink freely. Remember, after eating garlic, to eat parsley, in order to eliminate odor from the breath.

Also, the juice from a handful of watercress may be blended with an equal amount of fresh pineapple juice to gain this same effect, as an endocrine accelerator.

Subjoined herewith is another group of the highest mineralized formulas. Try each one of them. You will find that one or two of them, taken daily, will restore your body to optimum health.

CITRUS "SPECIAL"

Those of you who lack vitality and have been unable to increase your supply should use generous quantities of this concoction. It will give you the desired store of renewed vitality. In all of these formulae, we are giving you the fruits and vegetables highest in the minerals. This refreshing formula is especially high in Hydrogen--equal parts of lemon, grapefruit, and lime juices.

POTASSIUM DELIGHT

Tomato juice, with a little finely chopped parsley in it. This is said to be helpful in relieving arthritis. Watermelon juice is another form of potassium, as are also celery and carrot juices mixed.

SODIUM CIDER

Fresh Apple juice separately, or mixed with a small amount of celery juice.

IRON TONIC

Peach and apricot juices are especially rich in iron; also grape juice of any kind, or raisin broth. To make the broth, use one pound of seedless raisins to one quart of water; let this simmer for one hour. The same raisins can be used in fruit salad after the broth has been made.

Blackberry, spinach, and beet juices are likewise rich in iron.

CHLORINE BEVERAGE

This is supplied by Coconut Cream. Grate one coconut fine, and to the grated coconut add a glass of cold water; mix well with the hands, and run through a presser. Drink the cream and throw away the dry shreds of coconut, as it has no food value left. 

PHOSPHORUS "PHOSPHATE"

Phosphorus Formula--Tomato juice mixed with either celery salt or fresh celery juice.(Include carrot-tops, if possible.)

Phosphorus nourishes the brain and nerves. Sufferers from anemia and rickets should not fail to eat and drink those foods 

ARTERY-SOFTENER

richest in phosphorus.

This is primarily suggested for the benefit of those who may be predisposed to hardening of the arteries. It is also a very valuable drink for sufferers of high blood pressure.

This formula is made by putting two or three young tender beets through the juice extractor. This will give you one of the most colorful and tasty of all vegetable drinks.

After having expressed the juice of the beets, a little grapefruit juice may be added, if desired, to enhance the flavor and you will have not only a liquid with a wine-like hue but also one of the most highly alkaline drinks that can be concocted.

LIVER STIMULATOR

The liver is probably one of the most abused organs of the whole body, as it is the great detoxifier, straining out the toxins of the blood stream. The average person's blood is filled with toxins in proportion to the amount of devitalized and destructive contents in the diet, inadequate liquids, and poor oxidation from improper breathing.

Put one-half of an onion and three or four radishes through the vegetable extractor. Occasionally, some other juice may be added. Pineapple juice may be combined, diluted, with no ill effect.

SULPHUR SIP

Prune Juice--After prunes have soaked all night, drink the juice, or steam prunes for 30 minutes and drink the juice. This is especially helpful as a nerve tonic.

FLUORINE JULEP

Fluorine Drink--Beet juice, or beets that have been slowly steamed for one hour.

Good for rheumatic conditions, and muscle tone, this juice acts as a real disease prophylactic by heightening the resistance. All those with poor teeth or pyorrhea should imbibe this juice freely four or five days a week. Especially good for acid mouth. (Raw cabbage is likewise excellent for gingivitis condition.)

CALCIUM BROTH

Take two raw Irish potatoes, scrub them good, chop them to small bits, skin and all, pour one glass of water over the mass, and simmer for 30 minutes. Drink the juice.

SPECIAL FORMULA

Raw tomato juice with the juice of one lemon.

This is indicated for obesity, and for those who are suffering with too much acid. It will eliminate acids and waste from the body and restore elasticity. It is one of the best drinks to take while on or after a 24 or 48-hour fast. It is fine for rheumatism, arthritis, and neuritis, is a perfect eliminator of poisons, and accentuates the healing processes of the skin.

Special Sodium and Magnesium Formula--Tomato juice, chopped parsley, one clove of garlic, little lemon juice. Pour the juices over garlic and chopped parsley, then work it together and strain through cheese cloth. Fine for all eye, ear, nose, throat, and sinus trouble. For a fast, you can use two quarts per day.

CARROT JUICE

If you do not have an extractor, and are not able to secure one, then chop or grind carrots fine, pressing out the juice by placing them in a strainer cloth and tightly twisting the cloth. This will partially extract the juice. Some may find it even more appetizing to add a small amount of honey, a pinch of salt, and serve with vegetable meal.

Many of these other juices may be prepared in this same way.
