"Damn near died of cancer in '89... "

Well, you didn't die. Maybe the food was the edge, eh?

They have Vitamin K. It fights the blood thinner.

"LOL, my sister insisted that we start juicing carrots and the juice tastes great. "

Be careful with the carrot juice. I read about a health nut in Florida who drank so much carrot juice the he got cirossis of the liver and died.

Avoid sudden changes in your diet. Vitamin K decreases the effects of Coumadin. Large amounts of vitamin K are found in foods such as liver, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and green leafy vegetables (e.g., spinach, Swiss chard, coriander, collards, cabbage). Do not change the amount of these foods in your diet without first talking to your doctor.

These are the so called "cruciferous" vegetables.

"Cruciferous" means "can't afford lobster tonight".

I take it till the end of the month. I was in the hospital over Thanksgiving with a blood clot in my leg. Too many hours in front of the computer. I'm going to buy another chair as soon as I can, plus use a little foot stool to elevate my leg off of the chair.

I only drink it occasionally but back when I was about 20 we grew some carrots and they were the best carrots I'd ever tasted. I ate so many I turned yellow.

All five of these vegetables were derived from a wild cabbage plant in England.

If they are derived they are not natural plants but man made food. These plants have a chemical that mimics estrogen, a female hormone. Is it entirely safe for men to pump up their estrogen levels over extended periods? What about growing boys? They often have a natural strong dislike for these foods. Do we really know what this extra estrogen does to their forming minds and bodies? Should boys trust their natural intuitions? Or is it that nancy boys are better behaved?

hey FReeper FRiend, I use the Samson GB-9001 juicer

... it is NOT a centrifugal, so the juice is still quite good into the next day

... if more folks knew how easy and economical juicing is,they'd do it

... juicing has a stigma as a "hippie thing" and being a big hassle , it is not,...feel FRee to pick my brain

...oh,btw , I make really delicious juice
