Ten Important Commandments For Juice-diet'diet Is Health,diet Is Medicine,'so Said Socrates Several Hundred Years Back.

Those who take to juice-diet should follow the invaluable instructions given below:

1.The purpose of juice-diet should be distinctly determined.Whether juice-diet is adopted for the purpose of maintaining

health or getting relief from disease should be very clear.

2. The intake of juice-diet should be regular.If the purpose of taking juice-diet is to get rid of virulent and chronic

should be followed systematically and with all earnestness.

3.A fixed quantity of juice should be taken at predetermined fixed hours regularly every day.

4.A variety in fruits and vegetables is desirable.If the partaker of juice-diet intends to get relief from specific diseases,

the selection of fruits and vegetables should be strictly under the guidance of an expert dietician.

5.In order to preserve its useful and live elements,juice should be taken fresh immediately after it has been extracted.

It should be sipped by draughts.A quick swallowing of juice does not give expected results

6.If raw food,salad or nuts are taken with the juice-diet,

juice should be taken some time before the taking of these substances so that the enzymes contained in juice may help digestion.

7.A partaker of juice-diet should always drink juice with a delightful mind.Juice taken with full faith and hope is more beneficial.

8.During the period of juice-diet,sometimes the toxic elements concealed in the body try to find their way out through different processes of elimination like vomitting,headache,fever,etc.

These symptoms are not much to be worried about.

The patient should continue juice-diet without any apprehension,becxause these symptoms are short-lived and disappear of their own.

9.There are several other experiments which help the process of elimination of toxic elements from the body.In costive conditions enemas can be taken for eradication of accumulated stools in the intestine.

Hot-water bath or vapour-bath would hasten the process of elimination of toxic elements.

10.A complete rest is recommended during the period of juice-diet.Though hard work and exercises are contraindicated during juice-fasting,

light yogasanas and a short-distance walk are permissible.

The latest juice-diet researches : The preventive and curative value of raw food has excited the scientists all over the world so much that

a number of centres and hospitals are now conducting experiments on this subject.

Here are a few examples of some of the latest researches.

Dr.D.D. Hare of the Royal Free Hospital in England put a group of arthritic patients on a diet consisting purely of raw food and juices for two weeks and then a predominantly raw food diet for several more weeks.

Practically all of the patiens began to feel better within one to four weeks,with marked improvement continuing thereafter.

J.F.Kinderheilk,a research scholar,states that the raw food diet is of immense value in avitaminosis,nephritis,diabetes and chronic constipation.

Dr.W.Heupe of the university medical Polyclinic in Frankfurt reports that a raw food diet aids in the treatment ofdiarrhoea of children,in hearth and kidney diseases,and in obesity and diabetes.

I.Kanai,a researcher from the University of Berlin,carefully studied and examined the effect of raw and cooked vegetarian diets on the process of oxidation taking place inthe body.

His experiments clearly showed that oxidation was impaired by cooked vegetarian foods.

On a raw food diet the urinary output of nitrogen was greater,indicating better absorption off food-elements in the blood.

Dr.M Kuratsune of Kyushu University in Japan also tested the effects of raw and cooked vegetarian diets on the body.

It was discovered that exclusive cooked food tended to create anemia,which cleared up when some of the cooked food was replaced by raw food.

Many other disorders,which had failed to respond to the conventional medical care improved considerably on the raw diet.

Dr.Joseph Evers of germany has treated nearly 1,000 cases of Multiple Sclerosis with diets which included only raw food.

The succes enjoyed by Dr.Evers in the treatment for Multiple sclerosis.

For over 10 years people from every part of the world have been going to Dr Evers for thew treatment of this disease.

In the present time,the work of Dr. Kristine Nolfi of Denmark regarding raw food is unique.

She recovered from cancer after treating herself with an exclusive raw food diet.After that,she opened an institution called 'Humlegaarden'

which gave such type of treatment.This system of healing and treatment gave her unexpected success and credit.Inspired by reading and meditating upon.

Dr.Nolfi's own life-story is also very interesting.In 1940-41,Dr.Nolfi was diagnosed as having cancer but she refused treatment by X-ray,radium or surgery.

Because of her refusal to accept established,approved medical treatment she was thwarted and persecuted until she discontinued her medical practice.

She shifted to Humlegaarden where she successfully treated herslf with an exclusive raw food.

She recovered from cancer.Then she opened an establishment at Humlegaarden and treated many cancer and other patients with raw food.

About 1,000 patients visit the sanatorium annually.Not only patients but all the members of the hospital staff also live purely on raw food and enjoy good health.

Dr.Nolfi gives a great deal of credit to raw garlic and raw potatoes which,she claims,are key vegetables in the success of raw food diet.

If raw food can bestow such unimaginable benefit,why should people unnecessarily suffer from ailments and rot in diseases? There is no doubt that'raw food and juices'is the shortest and simplest way to perfect health.
