Juicing is great if you have the time and patience for it. I was made to understand that the juice needed to be used immediately; otherwise, we could use juices from the store. Be careful about juicing fruit. Without the fiber you would be getting a lot of sugar. I can say that during a bad Fibro flare where I hurt everywhere, I juiced 1 small apple, 2 celery sticks, 1/2 beet, some kale, parsley, and fresh ginger and turmeric for breakfast, and within a week the pain and swelling in my joints settled down. Of course, it might have settled down if I'd eaten Skittles for breakfast. Who knows? I always feel "clean" on the inside and virtuous when I juice, so that is worth something. Turmeric root is now easily found in common grocery stores for as little as 6.99 a pound, and it doesn't take much of it (or the ginger) to feel a benefit. Good for you for listening to your daughter! If my dad had ever listened to me I would have been so happy!
