[Sir Tigger KC]

When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2010, I hit the internet for alternative therapies as the thought of chemo and radiotherapy was pretty scary, but most of what I saw looked like snake oil and quackery designed to part me with large amounts of my hard earned!! 

However, I came across an article on a respected website suggesting that the substance carotene found in carrots, inhibited the growth of bowel tumours, although it stressed that there was no scientific evidence for this and what was out there was purely anecdotal. So I thought what the hell, went and bought a juicer and for the next 18 months drank a pint of freshly squeezed carrot juice every day! 

Now whether it made a difference to my cancer outcome or not, well who knows....    But the ironic thing is that despite the cancer and the treatments, by and large I felt extremely well and full of beans!! Better than ever in fact!! 

I stopped after having major bowel surgery which left my 'functions' in a pretty fragile state and I think the high fibre content was a bit too much at the time!!        Things have settled down somewhat now, so I've been looking at this with interest! 

Thanks Guffer!!

Just watched the whole film on TBs favourite tinterweb video host. Very interesting, especially about the whole change to mental attitude I do however have 3 questions...

1. Can a person survive on juice indefinitely?

2. Are sweetcorn and sweet potato acceptable ingredients?

3. Could juice be heated? (seeing as we're heading to that time of year...)

Glad I watched it, shamefortunately Demand 5 is so king retarded though as was going to watch it there

Thought provoking thread, Mr Guffer.

Just watched the whole film on TBs favourite tinterweb video host. Very interesting, especially about the whole change to mental attitude I do however have 3 questions...

1. Can a person survive on juice indefinitely? No, it is intended for short periods. 60 days is extreme but it depends on how sick you are.  I reboot for up to 15 days at a time but eat healthy inbetween reboots

2. Are sweetcorn and sweet potato acceptable ingredients?sweetcorn, not seen it in any recipes so I would guess that it's not suitable.  Much corn now is GM and can cause a spike in blood sugars.  I will ask though   sweet potato juices quite well

3. Could juice be heated? (seeing as we're heading to that time of year...) The whole point is to drink raw juice, if you heat it you will reduce the phytonutrients and other goodness.  As you get in to ketosis you will get cold extremities, I just wear thicker socks and, outside, gloves.

Glad I watched it, shamefortunately Demand 5 is so king retarded though as was going to watch it there   Did you watch the full version?  5 only showed the 45 minute version.  I have the DVD of the full film here

Cheers Matt

Twas the full(fat) 94 minutes

I did wonder whether the effects of heating(cooking) would be similar to cooking in a regular manner

Shame about corn as I quite like it, but good news about sweet potato far tastier than regular ones

How often do you 'reboot'? And have you heard of a Dr Mosely?... http://thefastdiet.co.uk/

Having had a quick rummage, I wonder if this was the start of Joe Cross' discovery
