In regards to eating meat

[Tenet Nosce]

Let us know how you feel after a shot of wheatgrass or something along those lines. It was like a super clean energy jolt, kind of like being awake, the first time I tried it.

Well I felt pretty good. But I'm not sure if it was the juice alone. Full moon and all. Solar wind, maybe? Other crazy coincidental things going on. I don't think the juice can account for all of it.

Say, have you seen Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead? I just watched it on Netflix!

I found a good balanced review of the movie by a colleague of mine.

This film is amazingly inspirational, and I highly recommend people watch it. Not just because it demonstrates how diet and exercise can cure disease, but because it addresses, what I have come to believe, are gaping holes in our current healthcare system. Mainly, the lack of emphasis we have placed on diet and lifestyle changes to cure disease in this country, and have opted instead for the "quick fix," medications can offer instead.

This is not a perfect film. I am not a huge proponent of a juice only fast. One of the main reasons I don't like this type of fast is because it eliminates fiber from the diet. Fiber is vital to our health for a number of reasons. for starters, fiber bulks up our stool helping us to have healthier and more frequent bowel movements (preventing constipation, diverticulitis and polyps). Fiber is also important in possibly reducing our risk of colon cancer and type II diabetes. Fiber also helps keep our blood sugar stable. It does this by slowing down how quickly sugar can enter the blood stream; preventing the elevated levels you can sometimes get from consuming high sugar content drinks like soda pop and white bread.
