As part of any whole food lifestyle such as the Wholefood Diet or Full Spectrum Diet, juice therapy, the eliminative and cleansing capacity of raw juice, is a great way to get in all your nutritional foods. Juices are extracted from fresh
fruits and vegetables and are rich in their own medicinal properties.
Raw juices are extremely rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and natural sugars. Juices extracted from raw fruits and vegetables require little digestion and almost all their vital nutrients are assimilated directly in the bloodstream.
Juice fasting or juice therapy is also a great way to detox your system. Accumulated metabolic waste and toxins are quickly
eliminated.
Anti-aging therapies utilize the power of nature's bounty due to the fact that many fruits and vegetables are rich in alkaline elements. This is highly beneficial in normalizing the balance of acid-alkaline in the blood stream and tissue structures, as there is over-acidity in many conditions of dis-ease. As an anti-aging therapy fruits and vegetable juice have an extraordinary revitalizing and rejuvenating effect on all the organs and
functions of the body. Healing minerals in raw juices especially calcium, potassium and silicon help in restoring biochemical and mineral balance in cells and tissues, preventing premature aging.
The following juice blends are recommended recipes from The Full Spectrum Diet.

We all have a story that is ours. It is unique, it is powerful, and it is sacred. All of our stories begin at the same point because we all originate from the same source. It is at this source that we are all one, we are all whole, and we are all well. We emanate from the source into and through our lives just as the light radiates outward through rays of the sun. As we flow outward from our source we experience more of who we are as individuals and we begin to forget the sacred wholeness that we were created to be. When this separateness reaches a critical point we begin feeling lost and alone because we can no longer effectively connect with our true essence - our spiritual home. Illness, dis-ease, chronic pain, depression, anxiety and other symptoms which call out to us are trying to help us to remember who we truly are. Jin Shin Jyutsu grew from the widsom to heal ourselves that we all carry within. When you hurt yourself your first instinct is to hold your injury - this is Jin Shin Jyutsu. Through time Jin Shin Jyutsu grew through the awareness of many individuals who shared it with one another. It was passed on from generation to generation for thousands of years. As with many things that are readily available, we begin to take them for granted, and the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu was lost. The study of Jin Shin Jyutsu is a life-long one. It focuses your attention inward. You must apply Jin Shin Jyutsu to yourself to study it. Jin Shin Jyutsu begins to speak to you - to teach you of its power and its harmonising capabilities.
By holding two points on the body simultaneously, (there are 26 points on either side of the body) the body is able to clear through energy blocks that are causing disharmony with the body, mind and spirit. A single Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment session lasts about one hour. It is practised by placing the fingertips (over clothing) on specific points on the body. The points are determined by "listening" to the body's pulses on the wrists.
At the end of a Jin Shin Jyutsu session a practitioner will often recommend specific self-help exercises for the client to apply regularly to continue the harmonising effect. For acute conditions at least 3 consecutive sessions are recommended. For chronic, long term disharmony, at least seven consecutive sessions will be necessary.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is an excellent healing art for those searching for solutions for stress management or health disharmonies, or for those who simply want to maintain their health, harmony, and well-being.
