Where a number of ingredients are given, it is recommended that you choose two or three ingredients and consume that juice for several weeks, after which you can chop and change the ingredients and follow the treatment for a further couple of weeks.
Try to consume a minimum of 1 pint a day and no more than 4 pints a day. For maximum benefits, try to combine this with a pure diet of raw fruit and vegetables, if possible.
Always wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly, remove any stones or seeds and chop into small pieces or slices to make it easier for your juicer to extract the juice.
Not all fruits or vegetables need to be peeled or skinned, as don't forget, much of the goodness and essential vitamins and minerals are found there.
