Dave and I watched an inspirational video documentary last month called ‘Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead’.  It both inspired us and moved us to get juicing ASAP! 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross (an Aussie with a great sense of humour!) is at the end […]

I just had a Twitter question about a good multivitamin so I thought I’d put up a quick post! I stopped taking a multivitamin a few years ago because of conflicting information floating around. I just wasn’t sure that I needed to take one. Then I read Breakthrough, got a preventative health doctor and learned […]
