Juice Fasting Q & A

Dear Sproutman: I am not clear on how to use the pineapple and grapefruit. —Rhona
Pineapple is juiced by itself. You can buy it whole with the skin or cored (without the skin if your market offers that).
Grapefruit is juiced using a citrus juicer (easiest method). It can be juiced alone or as the main ingredient in my “liver cleanse” recipe.

Dear Sproutman: The psyllium and the flax should not be together right? But should they be taken each day? Is the order of consumption important? —Kristine

QUESTION:

Mr Sproutman,

Thanks so very much for publishing Sprouts The Miracle Food.  I cannot put this book down…there is so much I want to do…so much to learn. I’m graduating from the JAR !!!!

I recently purchased products to grow soil “MicroGreens”. A lot more work & more difficult to maintain proper climate, PH, etc. What I need to know: Are the Hydroponic seeds I purchased able to be used in the “Fresh Life Sprouter”? You also suggest to hatch the garlic & onion seeds first & then transfer them to a 6″ sprouter.  What is a 6″sprouter & where do I get it if it is not the Fresh Life Sprouter?

Thank you for your assistance.

Martha 

ANSWER:

Dear Martha,

I am delighted to hear that you enjoy my book Sprouts The Miracle Food.  First I would need to know the name of the seeds you are trying to sprout.  Second, ideally you can hatch garlic and onion seeds in a Sprout Bag and then transfer them to the Freshlife Automatic Sprouter or the Freshlife Manual Hand Watering Sprouter.  The Freshlife Sprouter is the replacement for the 6″ Sprouter.  Pictured are garlic sprouts.

Sincerely,

DEAR SPROUTMAN: Is it ok to mix the wheatgrass with a green apple? I seem to have read somewhere that this is ok but I can’t find the reference. Also, I seem to recall that I read that one should not mix with an orange for some reason but I can’t remember why. Can you shed some light on this? I went back and read through your book and you say to keep it green and maybe mix with celery or other greens but I really like the taste better when I mix it with something sweet. Thanks – Russ

Today is day 10, the final day, of my juice fasting and detox program. I know some of you are thinking: “I can’t fast.” But I also know many of you do want to cleanse. I can help you formulate a non-fasting cleansing program using fruits and salads and fabulous tasting smoothies. That works, too. But fasting is well, faster.

Look, we’ve all been–for lack of a better term–polluting our bodies for years or decades. Surely you realize that ten days is not enough to reverse years of misdeeds. Many of us are busy running around doing our jobs, caring for our families, taking on stress, not getting enough sleep, gulping down our food, exercising rarely, working in unhealthy environments. Our bodies take lots of abuse. If you’re the type that drives your car or truck very hard and you burn it out, all you have to do is get a new one. Fine. But you can’t just go out and buy a new body. You need to do a better job of taking care of it because it’s the only one you’ve got. Read the rest of this entry »
