Description

Why juice? You cannot buy freshly prepared vegetable juice in any store at any price - unless they literally juice the vegetables right in front of your eyes and you drink it down before they make you pay for it. Any juice in a carton, can or bottle has been heat treated and was certainly packaged at least a few days, if not weeks, months or even years ago. This applies to frozen juice, too. So you need to make your own. This book tells you how, and more especially, exactly why you want to juice.

About the Authors
To all those who can drink a pint of carrot juice in four seconds flat. And to Dr. Max Gerson, Charlotte Gerson, Norman W. Walker, Paul Bragg, Christopher Gian-Cursio, Jack LaLanne, Dick Gregory, Clara Barton, Bernarr Macfadden, James Caleb Jackson, and all the great natural health crusaders who made us into unashamed health nuts. After all, if you are not a health nut, then what kind of a nut would you rather be?
A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
We would like to thank Charlotte Gerson, Howard Straus, Norm Lee, Nancy Desjardins, Richard Bennett, and John I. Mosher for their great examples and contributions to this project. Our thanks are also extended to the editors of and contributors to the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service and the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine.
Special, indeed lavish, appreciation is offered to our very significant others.
And to comedian Victor Borge (1909-2000) who said, When, once in a while, a handkerchief comes out to wipe away a tear from laughter, that is my reward. The rest goes to the government. You just know a book is going to be a bit off-center when the authors make jokes in the Acknowledgment s section. And you re right.
F OREWORD
by Charlotte Gerson
Andrew W. Saul is a man who enjoys his work. But do not be misled into thinking that the fun you will have reading this book makes its message any less serious. Dr. Saul is a committed activist and therapist who has brought sound nutritional information to thousands through his books, newsletters, and lectures.
Much has been written about nutrition and juicing, so Dr. Saul decided to write something different: This is what I did. He has recorded a family saga that at times makes you laugh out loud and at times fills you with admiration for this charming medical teacher and his iron determination.
How much do we love our children? Enough to make them work hard hours, fighting off frogs and mice in an overgrown vegetable garden, and then drink the juices from their own organic produce? Enough to resist their complaints and overcome their (and our own) laziness? Enough to turn our backs on a totally unhealthy upbringing and start a relentless campaign to save them from antibiotics, vaccinations, pharmaceuticals, and chronic disease? That is how much Andrew Saul loved his children. The youngsters grew to college age without ever taking antibiotics and into maturity sharing their parents values and valuing their sharing.
Much of the charm of Dr. Saul s story is in the humorous recollections provided by his daughter and co-author Helen Saul Case. Affectionately recalling her rebellious childhood, handled with creative blackmail and rewards by her wise and determined parents, she describes how the system worked, since she continues the family tradition of juicing and teaching nutrition to her own children.
If all parents were able to benefit from the advice in this book, and were to make a habit of growing or purchasing a wide variety of organic vegetables to eat and juice daily, they could do much to avoid the terrible health problems that afflict children today.
Juicing is time invested in saving time. It is better to spend some happy hours in the garden and kitchen than to be miserable and sick in hospital or in a doctor s waiting room. Dr. Andrew Saul proves, by the rich and varied activities of his life, that if you are healthy you will have plenty of time for work and fun.
I might add that work is fun when you are helping people get and stay well.
I NTRODUCTION
W hy did we write this book, and why should you read it?
Here s why: modern medicine is primarily the study of what happens when you put pharmaceutical drugs into malnourished bodies. This book isn t going to change all of that, but certainly part of it. At the very least, when going into the ring to fight the champ, you do not want one hand tied behind your back. Pure and simple: this is why you need to drink your vegetable juice. You cannot afford not to. Do we have the sure cure for diseases? No. If we did, we d be Surgeon Generals of the World, and it might have even been on Fox News.
Now the sermon is over. The rest of this book is going to be fun, and perhaps a bit weird. Both authors have taught junior high, and you can blame that surrealistic experience for some of the book s point of view. When you work with adolescent kids with attitude, it sort of rubs off.
The juices we will be speaking of are not recreational, sweet beverages. They are liquefied garden vegetables and other produce. They are good, substantial foods. And they are good for you. So, what s wrong with fruit juices? Nothing. It s just that vegetable juices are so much better: they contain far less sugar and are more nutrient-dense. They can prevent illness; they can heal illness; they can become a part of your family life. And believe it or not, the whole thing can be fun.
And we are going to show you why, how, and now.

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.
-M AHATMA G ANDHI (1869-1948)
C onfederate General Robert E. Lee never spoke of the Union Army by name. He referred to his Yankee opponents as those people. When I (AWS) showed up with my little children at a family gathering, we received the same epithet. I don t know what to feed you people! my mother would say. Mom, it s really okay, I would reply. Just put out what you want to serve, and we will choose what we want to eat. Seemed simple enough to me, but our kids vegetarianism seemed to continually provoke response. It was bad enough that my wife and I were veggies, but the children too? Somehow, that seemed beyond clan comprehension. Even as a very young father, I knew that quoting George Bernard Shaw doesn t work in situations like this: Why should you call me to account for eating decently? 1
Nor did authoritative quoting or anything like it work at holiday gatherings. When we went with the out-laws, er, in-laws, to a summer reunion, we invariably got odd looks from every picnic table within visual range. All we did was eat everything except the grilled meats. At Thanksgiving, we ate everything but the turkey. Easter was the works without the ham. But this was not seen as normal, and there was an undercurrent of sotto voce disapproval. Our fitness as parents was in question.
And this was before we started juicing. Then the pulp really hit the strainer, so to speak.
YOUR KID IS ORANGE
The worst thing that can happen if you drink a gallon or so of carrot juice a day-and I ve done it-is that you ll turn orange. You will. This happened when my son was about two years old. He really liked orange, cooked winter squash like butternut squash and Hubbard squash. He liked squash a whole lot. He also liked sweet potatoes. How do you say no to that, and why would anyone want to? When you have a two-year-old who enthusiastically eats his vegetables, you kind of go with it.
My young son would eat a considerably larger amount of these foods than most adults. When you consider how little he was, he was indeed getting a proportionally massive quantity of squash and sweet potatoes. I even gave him canned pumpkin. My wife nearly went apoplectic, but the simple truth of it is
