Q What are some of the first things I should know about juicing?
A I would say using the freshest produce available is a good place to start. Start with a simple recipe or one that has rave reviews, don't try anything weird right off the bat. Carrot, apple with greens is a great juice for beginners, providing your juicer will juice greens.
I would read through the Juicing FAQ’s and then look over the Juicing Recipes to see which one you want to enjoy first.
My private practice has been closed to new patients for a little over a year now. I’ve been steadily working through my wait list during that time, and we’ve finally reached the end of it. I’m now able to re-open to new patients in the U.S. only. (Unfortunately, I’m no longer accepting international patients.)
In order to keep things under control (i.e. avoiding excessively long wait times for existing patient follow-up appointments), I am only re-opening on a wait list basis. The procedure is as follows:
You fill out a basic new patient info form on my website.My staff sends you an Informed Consent and new Patient Guide listing the timelines and office policies for your review and signature.We contact you when it’s your turn to schedule your initial consultation.We’ve established deadlines for each step of the new patient process to keep things moving along, and you’re required to comply with them if you wish to work with me. If the deadlines seem like they might be a problem for you given your current schedule and commitments, we ask that you delay your new patient application until you are able to meet them. We cannot honor requests to extend the deadlines.
These procedures aren’t arbitrary; they’re in place to give as many people a chance to see me as possible. I have a small private practice and only see patients two days a week. I do this for several reasons. First, the investigative approach I take with patients requires that I spend time outside of clinical hours researching cases and continuing to develop new protocols based on the latest scientific evidence. Second, as many of you know, I write a blog, host an internet radio show, create digital education programs, write books and speak publicly at conferences in my field. These activities allow me to help a greater number of people than I could otherwise help in my private practice alone.
Please be sure to read all of the information in the Approach, Services and FAQ sections on the Services page if you’re considering becoming a patient. It explains my approach to working with patients, what you should expect, my rates and answers to some common questions we receive.

Q Is it possible to develop juice recipes to address ADHD or ADD?
A To be perfectly honest Gail, I don't know, but I do think juicing in general and healthy eating mixed with appropriate exercise in fresh air and sunshine will go a long way in addressing ADHD and ADD.
Eating organic is important too because pesticides and herbicides can influence these conditions in a negative way. I'm sure you're already aware of that, and that preservatives and food additives of all sorts can also escalate these conditions, but I'm posting here for the benefit of others.
A diet high in raw fruits and veggies will provide great nutrition and a strong immune system to help keep the affected person healthy otherwise and better deal with daily challenges. I have read bananas in particular are good because of the B vitamins and other nutrients they contain.
Omega 3's are said to be very important in controlling or lessening symptoms as well as zinc. Flax, chia, or hemp seeds are great for omega 3's, but it's also important to cut down on the omega 6's which can block the absorption of the omega 3's. Zinc can be found in pumpkin seeds, however they also contain omega 6's, so don't overdo it there.
In my opinion green juices are the king of juices. They provide massive nutrients including minerals, so any juice with greens would be good overall. Spinach is one of the best leafy greens and romaine lettuce actually is fairly high in omega 3's too.
Banana and spinach or romaine smoothie with a little flax or chia seed could be a good one. Here's look at one recipe on the website. Spinach Smoothie
