My son had such horrible eczema his doctor was shocked and honestly he ran out of ideas. So I started giving him juice with green apples and celery juice. He got better.

Spent 8 years on Nexium for severe gurd and my gastroentirologist flat out said I’d be on it for the rest of my life. I fixed my diet and fasted to allow my gut to heal. Within 2 weeks I was off Nexium and it’s been several years! Unfortunately most doctors only know how to write prescriptions.

Exactly! Why would Doctors support this! They will be out of business!!

When I was drinking celery juice on a daily basis, I felt more active, cleaned my system out, my skin was radiant and it contributed to healthy weight loss as it cut out all the unnecessary cravings. I have not had enough time to do it after, but I am thinking of going back.

Many physicians are challenged when it comes to nutrition. However, you'll be introduced to big pharma medications though. We are what we eat. Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food. Genetics loads the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger.

If you have the right amount of awareness of your own body, then you will feel the benefits of drinking celery juice. You “want to find out if it really works” try it yourself and see how you feel and what it does for you. Sometimes the biggest knowledge is personal experience.

You’re a doctor not a nutritionist or dietitian, most people don’t know that doctors are not always the best option for sustenance advice

[Laurenski]

If something is healing me I don't need a scientific study behind it, or a doctor.

[czarnauk]

I understand you have to say that we all should speak to our doctors for individual advice, but the reality is that most doctors are clueless when it comes to nutrition and using food as medicine. I can imagine my doctor's face if I were to ask them about the benefits and use of celery juice...

[DebbyRoad]

Celery juice is not a trend or fad. It’s a healing medicine.

So basically don't listen to your body and intuition but rely on your doctor with everything, because they know you the best, don't they. Well doctor prescribed my mom wrong blood pressure pills and she nearly died. This was 6 years ago and she was never the same since then.
