Diabetes:
People with
diabetes will benefit by increasing their vegetable intake and having
raw vegetable juices.
Type I diabetics are better off avoiding fruit juices and having whole fruit with all its fibre instead. Type II diabetes can be reversed if the body is still making its own insulin. (Get Dr. Sandra Cabot's book "Can't Loose Weight? You could have Syndrome X - the chemical imbalance that makes you store fat." It has excellent strategies for Syndrome X and Type II Diabetes) :
- ½ tsp fenugreek seed powder
- ¼ Hot water
- ¼ bitter melon (if available)
- 1 carrot
- 2 dandelion leaves or 2 cabbage leaves
- 1 spring onion
- 4 spring beans or 2 Brussels sprouts
- ½ cup chopped fennel
- ¼ cup chopped parsley including stems
- 2 stems celery wit top leaves
- ½ clove garlic.
Pour Hot water over fenugreek powder. Allow to steep for 15 minutes. Wash and chop all other ingredients and put through juicer. Add to fenugreek mix. (Using all the fenugreek including the residue will give you the most potent effects - you can drain the fluid off and leave the residue but it will not be as potent and healing.)
