Today is the final episode of Jill’s 3-part journey of surviving breast cancer.  In this episode, Jill shares her favorite juice recipes with us.  Jill’s commitment to healthy living was solidified during her cancer treatments.  She found that juicing could give her body the concentration of healing vitamins, minerals and nutrients that her body needed to heal from the devastating effects of radiation and chemotherapy.

Jill has made juicing part of her daily routine, so we asked her to share her favorite juice recipes with us.  If you have not had a chance to listen to part 1 and part 2 of Jill’s story, you will probably want to go back and listen to them first!

Jill’s Favorite Juices:

Super Simple Juice:

2 fennel bulbs

3 pears unless they are asian , then use 2

2 lemons – most nutrition is in the pith, cut the outer layer of skin mostly off and then press the whole lemon with as much *pith on it as possible.

2 inches of ginger

****pith is the white part of the lemon that is just inside the outer layer of skin

Approximate cost is $5 and it will make 2 full servings.  It’s delicious.

Mexican Flair

2 bunches of cilantro (can also be parsley if you don’t like cilantro)

1 jicama – peeled

2 red bell peppers (can use any colored sweet peppers, just not green)

1 whole cucumber

1/4 red onion – be careful because the juice will burn your eyes

1 orange – peeled leaving as much pith as possible

2 or 3 limes

2 stalks of celery

**optional add a small piece of jalapeño, not the inside or seeds.  It you get it too hot, wait a day to drink it and the heat will lessen.

Approximate cost $9 and it will make about 4 servings.  A little spicy and a little sweet.

Juicing tip:   Heat and oxygen degrade nutrients in your juice, so if you want to press a larger batch of juice and preserve the nutrients, you can.  Buy mason jars and store fresh juice in small jars so there is less oxygen exposure.  Fill it literally to the brim and then seal the mason jar.  You don’t have to juice every day.  Juice once and pour into small airtight mason jars (have to fill them to the brim so there is no room for oxygen) and it will stay as fresh as possible.

LISTEN NOW!

Our Favorite Moments:

14:22 – Fave juice recipes

21:25 – The juiciest of the greens

28:02 – Start with A juice

31:17 – Health benefits of apple cider vinegar

32:44 – Apple cider vinegar’s bad ass brother – Coconut sap vinegar

39:49 – Smoothie time!

41:17 – Secret smoothie trick

43:48 – Deals on plant based protein powder

Today's episode is part 2 of Jill Tomback's cancer survival story.   If you haven't had a chance to listen to the story of Jill's diagnosis at age 25, and her path to find the best treatment plan for ridding her body of cancer.  We also discuss why Jill ended up having 9 surgeries in just over 4 years!  If you haven't had a chance to go back  and listen to part 1 of this episode, you can listen to it here.

We get to the emotional side of cancer in today's episode and Jill also walks us through that reasons that she had so many surgeries - there were 9 in 4 years, so that's a bit remarkable.  Jill also shares with us her reasons for second guessing the Western treatment that she had, and also re-iterates her resolve to try Gerson therapy if she ever faces this issue again.

Before we get to the episode, we wanted to make a quick public service announcement.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so you may notice more focus on the "Pink" campaigns.  There are many "charities" that say they support breast cancer, and actually a very small percentage of their budget actually goes towards the cause.  Instead their CEO's have outrageous salaries and many people besides cancer patients are benefitting from your donation.

That's why we recommend making a donation to the Gerson Center.  It is treatment that we believe in from folks that can stretch dollars to reach as many people as possible.  Do your research before you give, and make sure your donation dollars are really going to support the cause.
