Used only once, then it went in storage due to a move. This thing is great though. It is $400 new plus shipping etc. I'm asking $275.

EZ rider, how did you feel after drinking the blended spinach? And then the fruit one after? Mono eating might be helpful, but I couldn't eat that much fruit so late in the day, especially after having eaten lunch and dinner. I eat fruit for the first 1-2 meals, and then don't touch it for the rest of the day, especially after I start eating any foods with fat in them like nuts and seeds.

Thanks I will. I feel fine today with the protein, but it's still not the best combo, even though it makes my blood sugar feel stable....

I really think it is the density and volume of ingredients and not the variety. There is not that much variety anyways. I usually just do blueberries and spinach and occasionally another berry. But I will stop putting a whole 10oz bag of blueberries in for instance.
I didn't have so much of a problem yesterday when I did less fruit and no greens. I never heard of others having trouble with th

I really don't make that much at a time. Just like 12oz. Maybe I don't use enough water though and make it too thick. It's hard to take it slow when it's just a cup worth. I do always do other things when I eat or drink, but I find myself chugging it down anyways. I've tried the whole 'chewing' thing and found that it just makes it taste gross and takes away the flavor and the enjoyment of it. I

I love smoothies. But whenever I drink them I often don't feel so great. I get so full and bloated and it often seems to take forever to be able to eat other food again and for my stomach to get flat again. Maybe it's because it's so easy to consume so much more food in them then I would eat if eating the same stuff? I mean it is certainly easy to throw in a couple bananas, a whole bag of blueber

Could you use lemon juice to wash your body in the shower instead of soap? Have you tried it? Does it work well? And what would be the drawback if any?

If you or someone you knew who had a very clean/green lifestyle, ate an all organic 80% + raw diet and used all non-toxic and natural personal care and cleaning products, had to live for a year in standard unhealthy mainstream conditions, could you detox from that and reverse the negative effects quickly? What I mean by that is that you would only have access to low quality limited selections of

I guess I have a small appetite, because even on days when I eat only fruit, I don't eat that much. The other day I ate 1 apple and 2 bags of strawberries, and it was enough. I felt light and satisfied.

Thanks. Not all greens have hearts, I mean like spinach and kale etc. However, I guess I am concerned about it interfering with iodine. Even though I eat dulse and get iodine from that, if this stuff is preventing me from even absorbing the iodine in the dulse...

This is an article I just read about rocket fuel in winter greens in Arizona and California (where I live). They said they even tested an organic brand of mixed baby greens and it had 20x the amount considered safe in drinking water.
Is there any way to avoid this at all short of having your own garden? Is it still worth it to eat lettuces in spite of these high amounts?

Thanks. I know the contact time is short, I was just wondering if the hot heat of the dishwasher softens and liberates the toxins, so it's not as safe anymore. I won't use the dishwasher anymore, but since I already did, did I change it? Is it leaching out now because of it?

I was wondering since these jars are poly plastic stuff instead of glass, do they off gass when you wash them? The instructions said it was dishwasher safe but to put it on the top shelf of the dishwasher only so it doesn't get as hot (I had no idea the temp. was any different on the top and bottom shelves). That's all it said though. I washed the blendtec jar in the dishwasher on the normal sett

Even though plant foods are not as bad of a problem as animal foods, it is still a concern to think about. When you cook food you kill most contaminates that could be on it. Bacteria's, viruses, little critters, etc. etc. etc. When you eat it raw, what else can you do to it to kill and get rid of those possible things without heat? I don't think water is enough. Do you use anything special? Hydro

Yeah that's what I was thinking ilsewdm. $150 for 45 min. of B.S. or $10 for 90 min. of mind clearing body enhancing yoga.
Unfortunately though I need to see someone temporally for the documentation of it that I'm getting help. And I really do need help, I just think I could get the same thing in a book that outlines the same steps and behavioral change exercises. It's just still all about th

Yes! I mean not fat or super overweight, but certainly on the softer plumper curvier side. People have their own prejudices and viewpoints. Also, of the other 2 patients I've seen of hers that she schedules back to back, they were both quite overweight a

I need some help with this. Basically I am so pissed, I guess I want to get some validation or some opinions from this of a more alternative/healthy mindset then the normal standard of body image etc.
I am 5'5" and about 106lbs or so. It fluctuates a little bit but it's usually right around there somewhere. Also my body fat is around 22%. Basically in my mind it is not where I want to be

Well that's how I've felt about it all these years, obviously. But how do I really know if there is anything wrong with me or not if I don't get any tests? If you can just go by feeling, there would be no point to tests. A lot of things don't have symptoms unless they are at an extreme advanced stage, and if you are interested in prevention, waiting for things to get to a beyond the point of prev

25. Annual Checkup?
I haven't had a checkup or been to a doctor in over 10 years. I know I need to but I don't know where to start. I don't have insurance and picking a doctor out of the yellow pages just seems so random.
Do you get checkups and how often? What do they check for? Do you know the general cost? Are there good alternative type of doctors that will do more alternative type of tests? I'm very nervous

Needed EFA's are at the core of the nutrients I need / alt. to meds. I eat things with whole flax in them and it hasn't really done anything for me. So I wouldn't say is is empty or unhealthful in any way. This plus DHA oil.

Thanks so much Dave. That's a very nice way to think about it. That did help a LOT! My mind jumps around a lot and sometimes just gets in this flight or fight and gets overly self-conscious of anything I don't want to be conscious about. And actually the whole spiritual thing is really what kind of freaks me out. When I realize more and more how fragmented the physical reality is and how nothing

I read that wormwood is toxic and poisonous and yet it is the main ingredient in parasite cleanses. Do you think it is toxic or safe to take in these products?
Also, how do you know if you have parasites? How do you know when they are gone? Is it really as bad as they say or do all those sites overblow it and use scare tatics? If you do a cleanse, how do you know you are finally totally clean?

Wow, such different opinions. Who's do I take? LOL!
Is there anyway to tell by the taste if it's ok? It is an oil blend, not just flax, by Vega and is in a dark plastic bottle, unopened. I guess I will smell it and try it, I'm just a little paranoid about starting to use a lot of it.
