Ever since my family and I bought our juicer, we have been using it almost every day. Our Philips juicer is a fantastic little machine that quickly transforms fruits and vegetables into a delicious and nutritious juice that we all love. Our journey into the world of juicing began when my husband and I watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," a 2010 American documentary film that chronicles Australian Joe Cross's 60-day journey across the United States as he follows a juice fast to regain his health under the care of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Joe was suffering from a rare skin disease similar to Palmoplantar Pustulosis, which was an eye-opener for me. The documentary highlights the importance of minerals and vitamins that we get from fruits and vegetables and why we need to consume them daily. Although we all know that we need to eat our greens, not many people know why. When I was diagnosed with Palmoplantar Pustulosis, doctors told me that there was nothing we could do apart from giving me an immune suppressant drug (biologic). These types of drugs suppress the immune system even more, and there is a risk of fetal defects if one becomes pregnant within two years of stopping them. From my perspective, there had to be another way. I thought that if I could compromise my immune system due to stress, a bad diet, and antibiotics, there must be a way to rebuild my health. Juicing has been a great way for me to achieve this. Green juices provide all the vitamins and minerals our cells need to function, and when our cells are satisfied, we feel full after a glass of juice, eliminating the urge to snack on sweets. Green juices also feed the good bacteria in our gut, which is essential for our overall well-being and a functional immune system. I did a three-day juice fast back in 2013. I felt great and lost a lot of weight, and my skin was glowing afterward, and even the cellulite on my thighs seemed to have reduced. In addition to providing your body with important nutrients, green juicing are beneficial for people with autoimmune diseases because it is a gentle way to cleanse and detoxify the body. When you have an autoimmune disease, your body can become overloaded with toxins, which can exacerbate symptoms and contribute to inflammation. Green juices can help to flush out toxins and support the liver and kidneys, which are responsible for filtering toxins from the body. Another great documentary in the same genre worth watching is "Super Juice Me" by Jason Vale, aka "The Juice Master." He puts eight people who collectively suffered from 22 different chronic diseases on his "Juice Only" diet for 28 days, which is fascinating to watch. Apart from drinking green juices daily, I have also come up with four recipes that I think everyone should try: Green Detox Juice - Cucumber, apple, spinach, lemon, and ginger. The Refreshing One - Kale, cucumber, apple, and grape fruit The Green Goddess - Mint, cucumber, green apple, and pineapple. The Sweet Green - Pineapple, cucumber, and spinach. The best thing is that my daughter has slowly but surely started to drink the juices I make. She is the most important thing in my life, and her health and well-being are my main focus. The juice in the picture consisted of apples, oranges, kale, and cucumber, and it was delicious. If you are interested in learning more about juicing, I highly recommend checking out Joe Cross's website, "Reboot With Joe," and Jason Vale's website, "The Juice Master." If you are serious about healing from PPP, do consider green juices as well as reading my book, to find out the root cause of what causing PPP and how to heal naturally. All the best, Åsa Kärrman
