This book is my juicing bible. It contains an easy reference for which fruits and vegetables are helpful for various nutritional needs as well as a "conditions" section with recommendations for using various juice combinations to assist the body to work most efficiently. Also includes a nice selection of recipes.

This book is not too bad figure in it came out in 1989 and much of the info is still up to date. In this book though it gives you the problem and then which vegetables are good for this problem for example:Blood pressure: beet,beet green,cabbage sprout,cucumber,spinach,wheatgrass. Get the picture. It also has a section on fasting,designing a juice program and buying a juicer. It also got some recipes it does not tell you what there for. Like Juiceman Jay's book will tell you if your fatigued try such and such a juice. In this book you got to figure it out yourself. But like I said for coming out in 1989 its gotta a lot of info.

Very good information on juicing. I would give this as a gift.

I enjoyed and use the relatively easy juice recipes. And of course the book gives you the basic praises of the general health benefits of fresh juicing in general. I did have MANY questions that I wanted to ask though, not the least of which was, "how many ounces are in the 'glass' of juice you recommend we drink?" And "how big are the carrots that I am supposed to use in this recipe?" "How much juice do you really think I should drink a day and what sort of general (and specific) guidelines might you suggest?" I have seen small and huge carrots and am not sure what the average carrot is supposed to look like. I had that problem with several fruits and vegetables. I would have liked ounces and/or weights available to help me out on this. This book also has 5 pages on juice fasting! Why even bother? And the general warning on fasting over 3 days listed no research or explanation to back up his fear. Again this book has nice recipes and a list of many fruits and veggies and their vit/min content and a list of ailments (not cross-referrenced) for the reader but I'm sure you can find all of this and much more in a better more extensive book for probably about the same price. I wanted more bang for my book buck!

This book is truly the "go to" book for juicing. Very informative and useful. The Juicing Book will be like my Joy of Cooking cookbook, which I bought in 1975 and still refer to today.

I'm still reading this book, but it has some very useful information regarding fruits and veggies, to help you in blending or juicing foods to drink. A good and helpful read so far...

My spouse got the flu and the juice rescipies helped speed up recovery of a diabetic illnesses quicker and naturally.

the book is excellent for juicing for novices like myself. Price is reasonable when buying used. Amazon books are a great deal!!!!

This is still the best source for juicing information in a very condensed format.

I have purchased 3 copies so far because when I lend it to friends they don't
want to retun it.

I bought this book for my son to go with the juicer I got him for his birthday. He said it has great recipes.
