Review for the Healing Juices book October 2, 2008
GlssLdy57 (Memphis, TN)
It's a great book for learning what foods can benefit you in personal ways that you, or friends and family may need, or just want! It covers a variety of health issues, and is a very informative and educational book! I love it! I'd recommend it to anyone who likes bettering their health, in delicious ways. It also offers alot of recipes too!

Most of the book gives you information on specific fruits and veggies and what ailments they are supposed to alleviate. The basis for most of the claims are based on his travels to different parts of the world and from the "folk" medicine he came across. I don't think that folk medicine is completely without merit, but I also don't think it should be the total basis of recommendations for treating certain diseases. additionally, if want recipes for juicing, you'd better have a vitamix machine because all the recipes he provides are for use in that particular machine. I bought an omega juicer and all the recipes in the book are useless to me.
Interesting and insightful... March 29, 2005

I recently bought this book as I was interested in finding out the different healing properties of various fruits and vegetables. And I was quite pleased with the setup of the book-basically the book is organized by vegetable/fruit, with each entry including the history of the subject, it's nutritional value, the different diseases,sicknesses,and/or conditions it's known to help,and ways of preparing it properly. I quickly found different juices/veggies/fruits that targeted the conditions I wanted, and I've since incorporated their juices into my routine. I"ve been quite happy with the results in particular with including the following(not all together but seperately and combined with other juices): celery, cucumber, cabbage, carrot, beet, and radish.
One thing I would like to clarify is that Heinerman seems to really encourage blender juicing, either with your own blender, or more importantly with a Vitamix, to really maintain alot of each veggie/fruit's nutritious value by including the pulp. I was very happy with this encouragement, as I own both a Vita Mix and Juiceman, and I personally think the Vita Mix is far superior. But, I do think it's important for the reader to understand that he favors blender juicing over extracted juicing-and as a result, many of his juices call for this type of juicing.

I truly use this book as my juicing reference guide. At first I was disappointed in the structure of the book in that it was listed by vegetable and fruit names. I wanted the standard listing of recipes under the standard categories and boy am I glad this one is not like that. I have other juice books that give me enough recipes to cure anything that ails me. What this book provides is very good info about all the ingredients in a recipe and you can figure out subsitutions in an intelligent manner. This book is worth its weight in gold for that alone. I mean all of us just can't get into parsley now can we. Get this book it's worth every penny.

You won't need a juicer to appreciate this readable reference on juicing (and using) a variety of fruits and vegetables. A medical anthropologist and author of other books on the healing properties of foods, Dr. Heinerman now focuses on juicing. After you choose an ailment (or a fruit or a vegetable), you will respect Dr. Heinerman's scholarship in compiling the beneficial uses of juices. Each chapter on a juice (for instance, "Lettuce Juice") documents its botanical history, description, usage and nutritive values. The anecdotes and testimonials provide strong evidence for the therapeutic qualities of fruits and vegetables -- and their juices. Any juicer you buy will get you started with some good recipes, and this text will augment your choices and combinations of juice. You'll soon be juicing every day, and on into the 21st century. Appendices include helpful information on picking a juicer, uses for the pulp by-product, supplemental commercial products, and recipes
