| My ND had recommended i drink fresh celery juice for my stiff joints. I don't have a juicer, does anyone have one, if so what do you recommend? She did mention the Champion co. And I am going to see if my kitchenaid mixer has a juicer attachment available. Thanks for any suggestions. Pam |

Pam,
You may ask your ND about barley green or Bluegreen Algae or even alfala tablets. I think it is the chloraphyl in the celery that your ND may be after. I have lupus (which affects joints) and I used algae and now I use barley green..... I do have a champion juicer.. they are spendy... about $400... but before I got the champion I had a Waring brand from Costco and it did a great job....I hope your ND is testing to see if it is possible that you have a food allergy.. often time getting rid of dairy can help the joint pain as well.....How is it going for you? There is a great book out called "healing with wholefoods" by Paul Pitchard.. and it has some great recommendations too..... check your local library!

I have a Brevel juicer
It's loud but you can use larger chunks of fruit/veggies
It strains very well. I also use a second hand strainer if I don't want any pulp
And, for bigger tasks---sepecially for canning purposes, I have a steam juicer. THAT thing is great! It steams fruits/veggies, so there's NO pulp at all!
The Brevel cost roughly 130 and the steam juicer was about 100. Both were internet purchases, so price searcing saved a lot of time |

Thanks for the suggestions, I will ask about the alfalfa and other stuff you mentioned, I have some chlorophyl-I just don't think to put it in my water often enough.
We bought a juicer when we were in town a week ago, a Jack Lalanne, it was one of two that were at Bed, Bath and Beyond, which happened to be across from the Babies are Us-where we were shopping for our new grandchild, due any day! I have used it this week to do the celery juice-I am sure it will take a few weeks to see any results. I am looking forward to trying out some other fruits and veggies in the juicer.
I will let you know how things progress.

My sister in law has a Jack LaLanne and she likes it.. SO hopefully it will serve you well... do you have access to "organic"?.............Anway, keep us updated.. to me it is so facinating how our bodies can heal when given the oppertunity....
