Multiple Sclerosis and Juice Detoxification

I have been reading a couple of books and visiting a couple of web sites at the urging of my Acupuncturist while she treats my multiple sclerosis. I am learning all kinds of information on the power of juice fasting and how it can help those of us with autoimmune diseases like MS.

Many believe that people with multiple sclerosis can benefit from juicing by:
-- cleaning out the built up toxins in the blood
-- restoring proper function to various organs throughout the body
-- gaining energy and mental clarity (two things that give people with MS trouble)
-- cleaning out the bowel thoroughly
-- improving walking, balance and mobility by ridding the body of toxins

Not only does juicing do all this, but it also helps you lose weight and feel better while potentially minimizing your need for some prescription drugs.

From what I understand, it is best to drink primarily vegetable juice and minimize the sugary fruit juice content. I just did this for a few days and I was shocked at how much it helped me think clearly, feel energized and walk better. I mixed all juice with equal amounts of water and made sure to take something like Smooth Move -- a tea that facilitates bowel elimination everyday.

What I experienced was well worth not eating solid food for a few days. I plan to do this one day a week for quite some time to continue to improve what I experience with my multiple sclerosis.
