The Power of Raw Juicing, Green Smoothies & A Raw Food Diet to Reverse & Cure Type 2 Diabetes 
Consequently, I decided to do some research into various juicing books and juicing philosophies. Interestingly, I discovered that a lot of assumptions about how the body functions when you juice was based on a healthy body, not an unhealthy body! -- such as a diabetic's body or someone who is overweight.
As a result, I decided to write an ebook about raw juicing that answered a lot of the misconceptions about raw juicing; and, provided additional information that the other juicing books overlooked or didn't think was important, i.e. how to make your juice taste scrumptious, how to properly store your vegetables and fruits.
Update 2010: Everyone loved Mr. McCulley's Power of Juicing book because it provided a lot more information than other juicing books (see below for details), plus, the recipes actually work! However, some of our clients stopped juicing after several months because they got tired of cleaning their juicer! During one of the author's workshops, a young woman asked whether there was another way to get the benefits of juicing without having to deal with a juicer. Mr. McCulley mentioned that green smoothies could provide some of the same benefits, but most of the audience didn't know about green smoothies for diabetics. So, Mr. McCulley expanded the juicing book to include recipes for making green smoothies for diabetics and for people who wanted to lose weight.
Benefits of raw juicing and green smoothies include accelerated body repair and healing, reduced insulin resistance and inflammation, better blood glucose and insulin control, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, detox, healthier liver and kidneys, weight loss, reduced cravings, stronger immune system, the need for less medications, and the ability for diabetes reversal.

The Power of Raw Juicing, Green Smoothies, & Raw Diet
Raw juicing works, but only as part of an overall superior nutritional program, such as the Death to Diabetes Super Meal Model. Most people who do not reap the benefits of raw juicing are juicing improperly!
-- by juicing the wrong foods and/or by using the wrong type of juicer.Juicing is a very powerful nutritional therapy, but most people misapply this therapy by preparing mostly fruit juices. Vegetable juicing is more powerful than fruit juicing, especially for people fighting diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, or any other degenerative disease.
If eating raw vegetables, salads and soups are not appealing enough to acquire the minimum 6 to 9 cups (5 to 7 servings) of vegetables and fruits each day, then, juicing may be an effective addition to your nutritional program. Even as a diabetic, juicing can be very nutritious as long as you drink mostly green vegetables/grasses and avoid drinking too many of the fruits.
Green juices (and green smoothies) contain an abundance of chlorophyll, which is a molecule whose structure is almost exactly the same as the hemoglobin molecule of the human blood. Chlorophyll helps to repair tissue and is very important in helping to remove toxins from the body.
Juices are a perfect medium in which to mix and dissolve nutritional powders that will enhance their healing powers. The nutrients and herbs in powders are better absorbed than tablet forms of the same ingredients, and mixing them in juices enhances their solubility, digestion and absorption.
The juices bring the healing nutrients to the cells in the surface of the mucous membrane of the gut in an easily absorbed form. This requires much less energy to assimilate than solid tablets, especially in people with inflamed mucous membranes in the intestines.
Juices can be combined in so many ways to make them palatable and delicious. Their diverse colors and taste enable huge variety so that you will not get bored. For those who feel they need an extra boost there is nothing better than drinking 2 cups of raw vegetable juice everyday. It will brighten up your day by providing extra energy and endurance.
Raw juices are packed with living enzymes to assist the digestive process, which means your gut, liver and pancreas do not have to work very hard to extract almost 99% of the nutrients within the raw vegetables and fruits.
This conserves vital body energy, which means that the body does not feel heavy or weighed down after drinking raw juices.
For example, two cups of carrot juice (16 ounces) is approximately equivalent to eating one pound of raw carrots. Eating so many carrots at one time would be hard on the jaws and teeth and would take a long time to eat and digest. Juices are unique because they allow the gut to receive very concentrated amounts of phytonutrients that could not be obtained by eating a normal amount of raw vegetables and fruits.
Raw juices contain natural medicinal nutrients that provide antioxidant, antibiotic, and hormonal balancing benefits. For example, Brussel sprouts and string beans are known to contain insulin-like substances that can be beneficial to Type 2 diabetics, and especially Type 1 diabetics. In addition, phytonutrients needed by the pancreas to produce insulin are present in cucumber and onion juices; and, the phytonutrient properties of broccoli, carrot, celery, lettuce and spinach are also beneficial to diabetics.
For example, broccoli is an excellent source of chromium, which helps to regulate insulin usage in the body. Fresh juices of garlic, onions, radish and tomatoes contain various antibiotic properties. Alfalfa, olives, asparagus, lettuce, mustard greens, radishes, cabbage and cucumbers contain silicon, which works to support the pancreas. Wheat/barley grass, celery, kelp, cucumber and cabbage juice are excellent to reduce acidity and blood pressure.
Green, leafy vegetables such as spinach help to cleanse and heal the gastrointestinal tract. The phytonutrient properties of carrot are also beneficial to diabetics once they have their blood glucose level under control.
In general, to help improve the health of your heart, nerves, kidneys, and eyes, drink daily 2-4 cups of raw vegetable juices and smoothies. Drinking as little as 3 cups of fresh vegetable juice each day will help the body detoxify and regenerate through the assimilation of the earth’s life-giving nutrients.
Note: Although fruits and vegetables do not contain large quantities of protein, their juice can be a convenient carrier for other sources of protein. Simply add some freshly-ground flaxseed powder, Brewer's yeast, or wheat germ to whatever you're juicing. These will provide quality protein that is quickly and easily absorbed by the body without the fat that meat contains.
The raw juice is obtained using a device called a juicer. It works by feeding raw vegetables, grasses and fruits into a chute that pushes the food into a high-speed rotating blade that shreds the food, extracting the juice from the pulp.
This extraction process breaks down the cellulose barriers in the cells of the vegetables, grasses and fruits, allowing the release of powerful enzymes and other nutrients. Juicers are very powerful but are not as popular as blenders because they tend to be more difficult to use and to clean.
Consequently, it is important that you purchase a juicer with fewer parts, a powerful motor and a wide chute. This will prevent you from spending a lot of time cutting up the vegetables/fruits to fit down the chute of the juicer.
Depending on your needs and finances, purchase the appropriate juicer, e.g. twin gear press (vegetables and wheat grass), mastication, centrifugal ejection, single/dual auger (for wheat grass), or manual press (for fruits only).
Note: If you don't like to use a juicer, use your blender to make scrumptious "healthy milkshakes" known as smoothies.
But, make sure that you use a high-powered blender that can pulverize nuts and break down the cell walls of the vegetables without overheating the vegetables.

Also, get the Raw Food Diet ebook to help you get started with your raw food diet.
Note: Benefits of raw juicing and green smoothies include accelerated body repair and healing, reduced insulin resistance and inflammation, better blood glucose and insulin control, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, detox, healthier liver and kidneys, weight loss, reduced cravings, stronger immune system, the need for less medications, and the ability for diabetes reversal.

Types of Juicers
Must-Have Features of the Best Juicers
Note: Some of the top juicers include Champion, Greenstar, Green Power, Omega, Breville, and Norwalk.
Juice Quality
The quality of raw juice is at the optimum level right after the juice has been produced by your juicer. However, due to our busy schedules, sometimes we would like to make some extra juice and store it in a container of some kind to drink later.
Unfortunately, the quality of the juice suffers and the juice loses its nutrient value over a period of 2-3 days.
The two main factors that effect juice quality are: Heat and Oxidation.
Oxidation occurs when you break open cell walls of the produce and expose it to oxygen. Oxidation occurs when you cut open an apple and it turns brown. In general, oxidation does affect the quality of the juice. Many of the nutrients in the juice are not affected by oxidation, but some are. Oxidation is a natural process. Its best to minimize oxidation. One way to minimize oxidation is to consume the juice right after it's made.
Heating the juice (below 118°F) is not as serious a problem as the oxidation. All juicers heat the juice somewhat, including the Single Auger Juicer/Twin Gear Juicer.
However, oxidation dramatically reduces the quality of your juice. Oxidation occurs with all juicers. Some juicers create less oxidation in the process of juicing, i.e. masticating vs. centrifugal. Oxidation increases the longer the juice is sitting around. So to minimize oxidation, its more important to drink the juice right after it's made than to worry about, "oh, my centrifugal juicer produces more initial oxidation". If you cut open an apple, oxidation is created (it turns brown). You never see the browning occur if you eat the apple as soon as you cut it!
We
believe manufacturers talk about oxidation and heat to influence your
purchase decision. Heat should not be a
factor, since all juicers will raise the temperature of the produce
being juiced. Oxidation plays a role in the quality of juice, this is
true.
We would recommend taking the oxidation factors "lightly". One could purchase the best juicer that produces the least oxidation, only to have it sit on the counter, and it never being used, since they didn't consider that its one of the hardest juicers to clean. We have found that if a juicer is hard to clean, it will not get used -- then, what is the advantage of having "the best" juicer, if its never used?
Tip: Although we don't recommend storing the juice, if you store the juice properly, i.e.
filled the container up to the brim to prevent air that causes oxidation, in an
air-tight thermos/vacuum flask, and stored away in the refrigerator,
the juice quality can last from 1 to 3 days as follows:
- Using a centrifugal juicer - juice gets oxidized almost as soon as you're done juicing, so drink juice immediately.
- Using a single-gear juicer - possible to keep up to 24 hours from time of extraction.
- Using a twin-gear juicer - possible to keep up to 48 hours from time of extraction.
- Using a hydraulic press juicer - possible to keep up to 72 hours.
Here are some other tips if you want to increase the quality of the juice from your juicer:
- Start off with the coldest possible produce - leave the produce in the refrigerator before juicing. Set your refrigerator a little colder.
- Do not overload the juicer! Feed in only a little produce at a time. Let it work itself out of the juicer before adding more. Overloading will cause the juicer to work harder, causing excess friction and generating heat.
- While juicing, occasionally juice an ice cube, which will help to reduce the temperature of the blade/auger and the juice. It will also dilute the juice.
- Be sure to inspect the cutting blade (on centrifugal juicers) or cutter (on the Champion juicer). Replace if they are dull. Dull blades do not cut as well, and thus will cause excess friction, which generates heat.
- Juice in small batches, rather than "juice marathons". The longer the juicer runs, the warmer things get.
- Start off by juicing the highest quality produce available. In some studies, organic crops have been shown to be higher in some vitamins, essential minerals and phytonutrients.
- If your juicing with a CHAMPION Juicer, chop produce into smaller pieces. Produce with strings will get stuck around the cutting blade and cause more friction and heat (especially Celery and leafy greens with long stems)
- Juice consistently and drink your juice as soon as you make it for highest quality. This is the most important factor.
FYI: A Green Star juice extractor as well as most other twin gear juicers make juice with the least amount of oxidation to them. The Norwalk press also does but it is a lot more expensive. It's physically big and involves more of a commitment due to the different stages of cutting, pressing and then cleaning in order to get a glass of juice. If you are really concerned about these issues consider getting a Green Star at a quarter of the price of a Norwalk juicer. You'll be very happy because they are great machines. If you want to spend a little less, go with an Omega 8003 juicer. This juicer delivers higher quality juice, is easy to clean, comes with a 10 year warranty, and it will change your life.
Smoothies
Well, blenders don't have those problems -- they're easy to use and very easy to clean. So, I decided to expand the juicing book to add a smoothie section. Smoothies, if created the right way, provide similar benefits that juicing provides, plus a few other benefits.
What is a Smoothie?
A smoothie is a healthy version of a milkshake and is a nice alternative for people who either don't like to juice or get tired of juicing and cleaning the juicer everyday.
A green smoothie is an even healthier version of a regular smoothie. These green smoothies are scrumptious and easy to make with your blender. Smoothie recipes are included in the juicing book.
Although it seems simple (just throw some stuff into a blender and press Start), most people don't know how to make a healthy, well--balanced smoothie that will alkalize their body, fight their diabetes and optimize their health.
Also, always ensure that you use a high-powered blender and also ensure that your smoothie contains the following five (5) components: a base, a liquid, some fruit, a nutritive additive, and a flavoring additive.

Raw Juicing: Pros/Cons of Juicing to Fight Cancer
The current trend in juicing is actually inspired by an older diet known as the Gerson Diet. A German physician Max Gerson developed this diet, which is one of the many anti-cancer diets promoted to cancer patients. The Gerson Diet requires patients to eat a mainly raw vegetarian diet and to consume freshly prepared vegetable and fruit juices every hour. This diet consists of several other key elements and is more extreme than most juicing plans, but it is the inspiration for many of those on the market today (2).
Many of the proponents of juicing claim that raw foods are superior to cooked or processed foods because they contain active enzymes (2). It appears that juicing removes indigestible fiber from fruits and vegetables and allows more of the cancer-fighting phytochemicals found in plants to be assimilated into the body.
Opinions on the possible benefits from consuming the enzymes from raw foods are polarized. According to Stephen Barrett, MD (4), “the enzymes in plants help regulate the metabolic function of plants. When ingested, they do not act as enzymes within the human body.” In contrast, Gabriel Cousens, MD (5) believes raw food enzymes do have beneficial health results and summarizes his interpretation of available research. However, no research cited on that web site is specific to cancer treatment benefits.
Phytochemicals are the subject of much research due to potential anti-cancer properties they possess. McEligot and colleagues (6) show evidence that including 16 ounces. of vegetable juice in a daily diet can increase the concentration of cancer-fighting phytochemicals in the body. Their research looked at blood concentrations of the phytochemicals alpha-carotene and lutein in female breast cancer patients, demonstrating higher levels in the women who consumed the vegetable juice compared to those who consumed only the raw and cooked vegetables.
Pierce et al (7) are conducting a large study in non-metastatic breast cancer patients in which dietary changes are being evaluated for their possible role in reducing risk of cancer recurrence. The Women Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Study does include 16 ounces of vegetable juice each day. However, it is important to note that the consumption of vegetable juice is simply one component of a very healthy diet designed to optimize the intake of many foods that may be beneficial in treating cancer.
Please be aware that juices made predominantly from fruits, and some vegetables such as carrots, are higher in sugars than juices made mostly from vegetables. Use a small carrot or apple to help reduce the "greensy" taste of the vegetables.
Note: One research group has found an association between higher consumption of sweet foods and increased breast cancer risk (8). Fruit juices made by discarding the peeling and pulp have a more rapid absorption of the sugar, which will increase the body's insulin response. However, limit the potential added risk associated with a consistent high sugar intake by avoiding regular consumption of clear fruit juices or, use a type of juicer that leaves the pulp and peel in the juice as increased fiber content slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
In the juicing/smoothies ebook you can find several smoothie recipes that contain fruits and vegetables and use many whole foods, thus retaining the entire fiber, nutrients, and phytochemicals.
Science continues to support the relationship between eating more fruits and vegetables and a reduced risk for cancer in addition to reducing the risk for heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic diseases (1, 9, 10, 11). Though unsubstantiated as an effective isolated treatment for cancer, juicing may act as an adjunct to conventional cancer treatment by providing an easier way for some patients to consume vegetables and fruits, which are a valuable component of a balanced diet.
Juicing does provide an additional way to increase the number of fruit and vegetable servings one gets in a day. If you leave the pulp in the juice you still get the fiber as well. It can add variety to your diet and may make some vegetables and fruits that you don’t particularly like more palatable. Some of the common side effects that occur during cancer treatment, such as a sore or dry mouth, altered sense of taste and smell, lack of appetite, and nausea can all make it difficult to eat some solid foods, while foods that have been juiced may be tolerated easier.
Just remember that juicing is only one aspect of an optimal approach for both preventing and treating diabetes, cancer and other diseases.
