Welcome to the Daily Juice Journal!

15 Sep Welcome to the Daily Juice Journal!

Hi there! I’m Su, co-founder of Daily Juice.

We started this journal with the intention of helping and enabling more ordinary folks to improve their health through juicing and a healthier lifestyle!

On our website www.dailyjuice.sg you can see there’s a short summary on why we started. A loved one was down with an autoimmune condition and it improved once he started juicing and eating a plant-based diet.

That loved one is my father. His health condition went back to as far as 2006. He had always been a workaholic. He ran his own business. I hardly see much of him as he was travelling quite a bit and he worked late hours. He also loved his food. We ate out quite often and his favourites are pig trotters (with the layers of fat!), char kway teow, bak kut teh.

In 2006, the doctors diagnosed him of having a chronic pancreatitis condition with a blocked bile duct. He was treated having multiple stents inserted into his bile duct and his gall bladder was removed. In 2009, his condition recurred and while we were travelling in Iceland, he had to have stents reinserted as his bile was getting blocked again. In 2012, his lymph nodes were swollen and he went to see a doctor. The doctors did a biopsy and test positive for cancer cells. His oncologist advised a round of chemotherapy. He had 4 specialists on his case. He also exhibited symptoms of dry eyes and mouth. The doctors seemed to think he had Sjogren’s which is an autoimmune condition. They removed one of his salivary gland.

After the oncologist had the scary talk with the family, (“you better do chemo quickly! kill all the cancerous cells before they spread, etcetc”), my dad was convinced to do it. My hubby’s ex-colleague handed me a book called “Gerson’s Therapy”.  I started reading the book and also chanced upon an audio book called “Never Fear Cancer Again”. I handed the audio book to my father because he hates reading. That book convinced him to not go for chemo and try alternative methods first.

My uncle, who is a vegan, introduced my dad to a naturopath. She recommended taking salads and steamed fish and fruits and cold pressed juices & shots for three months. She’s also a trained medical doctor. Within two weeks, my father’s symptoms improved greatly. He had sleep apnea, eczema as well. Those went away and his sense of taste came back and smell, and his eyes moistened. He could sleep without his sleep apnea machine and his skin eczema disappeared. In just two weeks! My father was so surprised that he can see such an immediate result. He continued the therapy and his swelling in his lymph nodes came down as well. The doctor said he does not need chemotherapy afterall. It sounds too good to be true, but I believe in the healing power of vegetable juices. The body can heal itself! Of course, prevention is better than cure. That’s why we started juicing at home. Our cold pressed machine was put to heavy usage after this episode with my dad. Our health is so important!

My dad never really understood the value of his health until he was sick. I believe if he were to go for chemotherapy then, he would not be as healthy as he is today. If you start supplementing your diet today with vegetable juices, it is a great way to start feeding your body the right micronutrients it needs!
