Vegetable Juicing and the different Health Conditions
The Jerusalem artichoke makes a useful juice for diabetics as it is loaded with natural inulin (not insulin), an energy source similar to sugar. A small, gnarled tuberous vegetable, it is an excellent source of non-starchy carbohydrates and it is said to reduce a craving for sweets. It is a very good source of potassium.
50 g/2 oz of Jerusalem artichoke juice to 175-225 g/ 6-8 oz of other vegetable juices, such as carrot, makes a palatable drink.
Responsive conditions
Diabetes, fatigue, hypoglycaemia, weight loss
ASPARAGUS
A good provider of vitamins A, C and E and folic acid, and the minerals potassium, magnesium and iron. The therapeutic properties of the juice exert a rapid effect upon the kidneys, acting as a good diuretic (you can also save asparagus cooking water for this purpose). It is a purifier of the blood, tones up the nervous system and has gentle laxative properties.
Asparagus juice is usually taken three times a day in sherry-glass sized quantities, or mixed with carrot or celery juice.

The green shoots have a high quantity of chlorophyll and more iron than is found in spinach, and the whole vegetable is a good source of vitamins A (as beta-carotene), C and B6. Beetroot is a rich source of calcium, potassium, choline, folate, organic sodium and natural sugars. After carrot, beetroot juice is one of the chief juices in the science of natural healing and is much used in convalescence on the continent.
The juice is potent and powerful, so use moderately. 50 g/2 oz of beetroot juice (from approximately ii beetroot) mixed with 175 g/6 oz of apple, carrot or cucumber juice is ample.

BROCCOLI
Broccoli belongs to the cabbage family, and it is one of the vegetables that doctors now recommend as cancer fighters. A chemical, called sulforaphane, has been identified by Professor Paul Talalay and his colleagues at the Johns Hopkins University, USA, that has very definite anti-cancer properties, and this now makes broccoli a superstar vegetable. A good source of fibre, calcium and iron, with an abundance of vitamins A, C and E, and so an excellent food for vegetarians.
Juice it and mix with other vegetables, or stir-fry it.

CABBAGE
Cabbage, a member of the Brassica genus, is related to broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale and kohlrabi. It is an excellent source of vitamin C, a good source of folate, and a moderate source of vitamin A (as beta-carotene). The outer leaves may contain 50 times as much beta-carotene as the inner white ones. Raw cabbage has a high level of vitamin C and folate, which makes it very beneficial in a juicing programme. It is said to be very good for stomach ulcers.
Mix it with other vegetables, especially carrot.
Responsive conditions

CARROT
Carrot juice is very often referred to as `the king of the vegetable juices’. It is very versatile; it can be mixed with all other vegetable juices, adding a sweet flavour, and it blends very well with apple juice. In fact, I juice three or four carrots and an apple every day as part of my juicing routine. Carrots have by far the highest beta-carotene level of any vegetable and beta-carotene is converted by the body into vitamin A Older, more mature carrots have the highest level of beta-carotene.
In addition to their abundance of beta-carotene, carrots are a moderate source of vitamin C (though cooking greatly reduces the content), and contain some vitamins B, E and K, as well as the minerals calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and other trace minerals. Eyes, skin, hair and nails all benefit from carrot juice. If you drink over 1.2 litres/2 pts/5 cups a day your skin can take on an orange glow, which does you no harm and will disappear as soon as you decrease your intake. Carrots have a tonic and cleansing effect on the liver, releasing stale bile and excess fats, and they therefore reduce cholesterol levels.
There are said to be 300 varieties of carrots in the world, with varying degrees of sweetness. The American Californian carrot yields 350 g/12 oz/1 cups of sugar from 1 litre/1% pts/4% cups of carrots juiced, and the English carrot yields only about 75 g/3 oz/% cup, so you should expect variations in the amount of juice yielded by the carrots you buy. If picked straight from the garden, try and juice as much stem as possible as this part is loaded with vitamin K.
Responsive conditions
Acne, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, bladder problems, bone problems, cancer, cataracts, circulatory weakness, cystitis, depression, diabetes, diarrhoea, digestive weakness, eczema, eye disorders, gout, haemorrhoids, halitosis, hangover, kidney disorders, laryngitis, liver disorders, menopause, mouth ulcers, muscular weakness, nervous disorders, prostate disorders, rheumatism, sinusitis, skin disorders, stress, thrush, ulcers, varicose veins, weight loss.

Responsive condition
Fatigue.
CELERY
The organic sodium (salt) in celery makes this juice an excellent component of any vegetable combination. It has a calming effect on nervous conditions and is good for weight-reducing diets. The greener the stalks, the more nutritious they are. Beta-carotene is found in the green leaves, while vitamins C and E and the B-complex are in the stalks, which also contain calcium, potassium, sulphur, magnesium, iron and sodium. It is said that the sodium—potassium balance helps alleviate muscle cramping and fatigue. The combination of celery juice and apple juice is believed to relieve insomnia and to cleanse the body of excessive carbon dioxide, especially in polluted areas.

GARLIC
Garlic is a powerful healer and an important anti-oxidant. Evidence has suggested that garlic reduces blood pressure, lowers the incidence of blood clotting, prevents stomach cancer and boosts the immune system. The component in garlic called allicun, which gives it the smell, is thought likely to inhibit bacterial growth and destroy fungi and yeast in the body and rid the body of toxins through the skin. Garlic is high in potassium, iron, iodine and phosphorus.
To prevent odours lingering in the machine, juice one or two cloves first, followed by carrots, a little parsley, celery, beetroot (red beet) or apples. Alternatively, crush them separately and add to the juiced vegetables.
HORSERADISH
Horseradish contains an efficient solvent of mucus or phlegm in the system. The ground root, which has a sharp, burning flavour, must be taken in quantities of not more than 2.5 ml/3 tsp at a time because, while it stimulates the appetite and aids in the secretion of digestive juices, large amounts can irritate the kidneys and bladder.

The peel is loaded with potassium, which is recommended for high blood pressure. In addition to vitamin C and potassium, they also contain vitamins A and B, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper and sulphur. Potato juice is very soothing on the digestive tract, so it is useful for gastric ulcers and arthritis. It relieves constipation and helps hemorrhoids. Used externally it is well known for cleansing skin blemishes.
Choose potatoes with eyes, which indicates that they are capable of sprouting, as they will be full of enzymes, and avoid potatoes with green-tinted skins. Raw potato juice is unpalatable and must be sweetened with honey or diluted with carrot, lemon or apple juice. Or it can be added to soups made by the juicer as a thickening agent instead of flour (only X of a peeled potato is needed to thicken 600 ml/1 pt/23f cups of soup).
