<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;">If Dracula were an old woman,</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> he would have sounded a lot like
Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor</span>. But there was no other physical
resemblance. Just shy of eighty, this middle-European immigrant lady had
been a housekeeper for decades. Overweight, bent over, worn out and
weighted down with <span class="GramE">cares,</span> she came to see me
primarily because of osteoarthritis.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> It was the 1980's:
disco was still considered music, and arthritis was still said to have no
nutritional connection or cure. For centuries, natural healing practitioners
have known otherwise. Today, more and more, the medical profession is finally
catching on. But Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor</span> had waited long
enough. She said to me, in her thick Transylvanian accent:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "I can't <span class="SpellE">vork</span>. I can't <span class="SpellE">svleep</span>.
I <span class="SpellE">om</span> in pain all <span class="SpellE">oof</span> <span class="SpellE">da</span> time."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I <span class="SpellE">vill</span> now drop the accent; you get the picture.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor</span> bowed her curly, gray-haired head as she
continued speaking.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Look at my
hands. I can't close them anymore. Look at my knees, all
swollen. I am sore all over."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> As if that were not
enough, she showed me an assortment of lumps on her arms and legs. Her
medico had told her they were benign. They certainly were not pleasant
to behold.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "What can I
do?" she said. "My husband does not work. I have to
work. I have to clean."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I said that she
might want to try a real dietary overhaul, beginning with vegetable juice
fasting. There is a fine line between irresponsible promises and
stimulating encouragement. I attempted to straddle that line by telling
her that she had little to risk with vegetables.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> She looked up, for
the first time during the interview, and slowly said, "I will try
anything."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Anything? Even
living on raw vegetable juices eight days in a row, followed by a very light
eating for three days, and a raw-food diet for the next ten?</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Yes,"
she said. "Anything."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> The drop-out rate
in such a program is high. That is probably the only true drawback of
such an otherwise venerable, simple and safe program. <span class="GramE">To</span> many, juice fasting conjures up images of starvation,
electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition and exhaustion. All false, and for
very elementary reasons.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Firstly, vegetables
are especially nourishing foods, and a variety of vegetables guarantees more
than adequate nutrition. The fact that they are juiced does not change
that. Secondly, you cannot hurt yourself with produce. There is no
down side to a vegetable diet, particularly when accompanied with a couple of
good multivitamin pills each day. Thirdly, look at the animal
kingdom. Elephants are huge and muscular, with bones like tree
trunks. They eat leaves and roots and shoots. They clearly get
enough protein and calcium. So will you. In <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>, 100,000 cows are
slaughtered every day. Their meat is a good source of vitamin B-12, among
other things. So in self-righteous panic, dietitians scream that you
need to eat animal products, especially meat, to get B-12! Really? Where
did the cow get her B-12, hmm? She only eats grains and grasses.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> So adequate
nutrition, really far more than adequate nutrition, can be maintained for
weeks at a time on veggies alone. "But why juice? Why not just eat
the vegetables?" Because you won't, that's why. Juicing guarantees
quantity. If you juice, you simply will consume more vegetables.
It is quicker and easier to down the juice than to sit and munch, so you will
consume more. Additionally, the absorption of juiced vegetables is
excellent, far superior to what you can get after just using your choppers to
chew. Not being ruminants, like cows or giraffes, we get only one chance to
masticate our food. A juicer does the job vastly better.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> So that's it,
then. A safe therapy that is too simple to work.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> But it does. And
the wretchedly bent-over Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor</span> was willing
to try it.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Not without a
fight, however. For weeks, I got her phone calls. "Can I have
soup?" Sure, if it will please you. "Can I have some
sausage?" No. "Can I cook some of the
vegetables?" Some vegetables have to be cooked, such as sweet
potatoes, and moving away from a strict meaning of the word vegetable, lima
beans and rice. If some of these foods will keep a person on the
program, fine. Vegetable juices should still be the focus and the bulk
of every meal.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Every
meal?" <span class="GramE">you,</span> and Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor</span>
would say. "Even breakfast?"</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Look, folks: For
breakfast, we drink hot bean extract and eat undeveloped bird embryos and the
ripened ovaries of trees. We eat the muscles of<span class="GramE">
ground</span> up dead pigs placed between pulverized seeds fermented with a
fungus, with a slice of curdled cow breast milk. And if I suggest
vegetable juices, I'm the oddball?</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> So I conceded this
and that to insure her compliance. Don't sweat the small stuff. After a
quarter-century as a health consultant, I know people.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor's</span> calls persisted, at various times of the day.
At least I knew she was on the program. Over time, they were fewer and
fewer. She seemed to be doing fine.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> A year passed.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> One day I was
shopping in a friend's health food store. There were a few people at the
check-out counter. One was a tallish lady, or if not tall, she certainly
had very good posture.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Remember
me?" she said, with the unmistakable voice of <span class="SpellE">Bela</span>
<span class="SpellE">Legosi</span> on estrogen.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I recalled only the
voice. It did not match this graceful woman, at ease and smiling,
buying a counter full of vitamins. But it was Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor</span>.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I greeted her, and
she wasted no time in telling me:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "I can
work. I can bend, and reach, and sit and stand, and walk without any pain. I
can work! I feel like a new woman."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> She actually said
something more like, "I <span class="SpellE">veel</span> <span class="SpellE">loke</span> new <span class="SpellE">voman</span>," but
enough of that.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I couldn't help but
notice that the lumps on her arms and legs were gone. It wasn't surgery; a
year and a half of juicing had apparently eradicated them. Now that was
a bit unexpected.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> And all this
progress, past age 80. I saw something similar with a woman half her
age.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> The early forties <span class="GramE">is</span> a bit young for rheumatoid arthritis, especially
arthritis as severe as Cynthia's. Mostly I remember her hands. They were
an old lady's hands on a middle-aged woman's body. Swollen knuckles,
fingers tightly drawn together to a point, almost like a paintbrush. Cynthia
could hardly move them, and never without pain. The doctors, and there
had been many, had all told her that there was nothing that could be
done. Well, pain killers, but nothing else. Diet, perhaps? <span class="GramE">she'd</span> asked them. Of course not, they'd told her.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> She disbelieved
them just enough to come and see me.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I suggested that
she do the same thing as Mrs. K. had done, and hope for the same results.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "And you are
so much younger than her," I added. "Perhaps you have an advantage
there."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> At the very least,
she complained a lot less. I had just one or two conversations with her
on the phone over the next many months.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> It was about
eighteen months later when I actually saw Cynthia again in person. She
had scheduled a follow-up appointment and breezed through the door into my
office.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Hi!" she
said.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Hello!"
I answered. But who are you? <span class="GramE">is</span> what I
thought. Now I do not have a good head for names or faces to begin with,
but this was extraordinary. I really thought there had been a mistake. I
had gotten my appointment book messed up. This could not be
Cynthia. I was expecting someone else, someone with at least some signs
of arthritis. This woman had none.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Look!"
she said. "Look what I can do!"</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> She flexed and
turned her wrists and opened and closed all her fingers, effortlessly. I'm
no orthopedist, but anyone could see that there was nearly complete range of
motion.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "Wow!" I
said. "What have you been doing?"</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> She looked at me as
if I asked an odd question.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> "What we
talked about," she answered. "I've been juicing every day, and
fasting on juices every other week. For the last year and a half! And
look at my complexion!"</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Cynthia, or whoever
this person really was, had almost no wrinkles. Her skin tone was
perfect, perhaps a bit on the carotene-orange side. USA Today has
described this harmless mega-juicing side effect as looking like "an
artificial sun tan." True. The doctors' <i>Merck Manual</i>
describes <span class="SpellE">hypercarotenosis</span> "harmless."
Also true.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I describe it as
"effective." There is more to juicing than just
carotenes. The complex carbohydrates, raw food enzymes, organic minerals
and vitamins, soluble fibers, and other vegetable nutrients makes for the
perfect antidote to the protein-dominated, fat- heavy, sugar-laden
arthritis-causing Standard American Diet.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Once, my own mother
had arthritis. She was just entering her sixties. The symptoms were
not severe, but they were getting worse each year. She started taking
vitamins, juicing, and most notably, eating lentil sprouts.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Mom is a unique
person, a "strange bird" as our old hardware-store man used to
say. She will stick to an idea, even an untenable one, for a long
time. This time, her talents for stubbornness were put to good use.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Every morning, Mom
would have a large bowlful of sprouted lentils. Lentils look like brown split
peas. To sprout them, she would soak dry lentils overnight in tap
water. The next morning, she'd pour off the soaking water, rinse and
drain them. Later that day, she'd rinse and drain the lentils once
more. They were ready for breakfast the next day. This may already
sound pretty funky, but she went one step further: she topped them with
molasses, and ate them with a spoon.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Yum.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Now where does an
otherwise intelligent person pick up ideas like this?</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> Guilty. Yes, I
was the culprit.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I will stand on the
results, though. It was considerably less than a year and my mom had no trace
of arthritis. And this may be the really good news: she eventually
discontinued the lentil meal, and also the moderate (one glass per day)
juicing she was doing. She still continues to take her vitamins to this
day.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> I know this lady
and her hands especially well. The raw sprout program worked. Juicing
worked for Cynthia and Mrs. <span class="SpellE">Kelremor</span>. It all
sounds <span class="SpellE">quacky</span>, because it is.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">
But that's how arthritis was eradicated from three sets of hands.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
