Having trouble getting your five to nine recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables? Drink your vegetables, says Cherie Calbom, the Juice Lady, and she offers 75 juice recipes to help you do it. Juicing not only tastes good and gives you nutrition, but it can also benefit your health, says Calbom. She organizes The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health into 53 medical conditions--such as Alzheimer's, ADD, allergies, influenza, gout, herpes, fibrocystic breasts, diabetes, and depression. For each, she makes recommendations about lifestyle, diet, nutrients, herbs, and juice ingredients, and offers specific juice recipes. The juices are innovative and cleverly named, such as Popeye's Power (with apple, spinach, parsley, carrots, celery, and beet), Ginger Hopper (apple, carrots, gingerroot), Sweet Calcium Cocktail (pineapple, kale), Jack & the Bean (tomato, lettuce, string beans, Brussels sprouts, lemon), and Weight-Loss Buddy (Jerusalem artichoke, carrots, beet). Two caveats: (1) Realize that you also need the fiber in fruits and veggies, not just the vitamins and minerals from the juice, so don't juice exclusively. (2) Juices are part of healthy nutrition, but they don't cure disease. (She doesn't claim this, but it's easy to jump to that conclusion from the way the book is organized.) Enjoy the juices and use them to support your health, but don't expect that juicing will cause a change in a medical condition. --Joan Price

More About the Author

Cherie Calbom is passionate about health and healing because she healed her body from debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyaligia by designing a her own fresh veggie juice and whole foods diet plan. She was so amazed at how her health turned around that she went to graduate school and earned a Master of Science degree in whole foods nutrition from Bastyr University so that she could be a credible source of information. Before she had graduated from Bastyr, the owners of the Juiceman company hired her to write a little booklet for their juicer. One thing led to another and she became "The Juice Lady." Her first book, Juicing for Life, was an international best-seller. It's now available in her third edition as The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health. Then she learned about the amazing health benefits of virgin coconut oil. She wrote about it in The Coconut Diet. Cherie is a raw foods chef who makes green smoothies and fresh juice every day for herself and her husband. Even her dog Annie, the Schnauzer, benefits with homemade meals of veggies, meat, and brown rice. You can sign up for Cherie's free monthly newsletter at www.juiceladyinfo.com.

3.0 out of 5 stars informative yet redundant, March 11, 2002

By 

GERALD E. ELY (Ocracoke,N.C.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health: Unleashing the Healing Power of Whole Fruits and Vegetables (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Healing Fruit and Vegetable Juices for Specific Disorders, April 27, 2009

This review is from: The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health: Unleashing the Healing Power of Whole Fruits and Vegetables (Paperback)

"The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health" is designed for anyone suffering from a specific disorder. This book is perfect for anyone suffering from Alzheimer's, allergies, anxiety, cancer, colds, depression, eczema, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, indigestion, insomnia, migraines, arthritis, stress or ulcers and many more...

Each chapter begins with a brief introduction to the disease or disorder discussed. Diet, Herb, Juice and Nutrient recommendations are then given. For instance in the chapter on Alzheimer's disease it is recommended that you do a live cleanse. The Juice recommendations include:

Tomato Florentine - tomatoes, spinach, basil and lemon
Popeye's Power - apple, spinach, parsley, carrots, celery and beet
Wheatgrass Light - apple, wheatgrass, mint and lemon
Memory Mender - tomato, lettuce, cauliflower and lemon
Sweet Dreams Nightcap - lettuce, parsley, carrots and celery
Antiaging Cocktail

Most of the recipes are repeated throughout the book under each disorder. I didn't count them but it seems like there are only 20-30 recipes in this book. Still some are worth trying and the Antiaging Cocktail was delicious. It is made with grapes, raspberries, lemon and ginger. The only issue I had with the recipe was the quantity of juice it produces. It was only about ½ a cup of juice. None of the recipes have any information on how many servings each will produce. From what I can tell most of the recipes produce one serving.

At the end of the book there is information on juice fasting and cleansing. However, the information on fasting is especially brief. If you want to go on a juice fast I'd recommend you buy Juice Fasting and Detoxification: Use the Healing Power of Fresh Juice to Feel Young and Look Great : The Fastest Way to Restore Your Health.
