I started juicing in 1978. The local health food store owner explained the powerful benefits of juicing and how it could help me detox and cleanse my body. This is also the time I was fortunate enough to be trained by world renowned healers like Dr. John Christopher (master herbalist), Dr. Bernard Jensen (world renowned nutritionist) and then Dr. Joel Robbins, MD, DC, ND. There were many more healers I studied with, but each and every one supported the value of juicing for detoxing. Growing up in New York City with European parents, there were minimal choices for finding quality vegetables. On top of that, I was a picky eater, rarely touching my vegetables. I had a severe sweet tooth and loved white bread, especially peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! By the time I was 18 years old, following this poor dietary lifestyle, I ended up with chronic fatigue, caught colds constantly plus suffered with severe low back pain, constipation, migraine headaches, dizzy spells, chronic sinus infections
