Why I recommend 
 Each morning I put a
scoopful of Juice Plus+® Complete into my fruit and yogurt
smoothie. Every day I take my Fruit and Veggie Juice Plus+®
Capsules, and dole out Juice Plus+® to our kids in the form of
powder, pills, capsules and JP+ Gummies® according to their age
and taste. Then I go to my office and recommend the Juice
Plus+® Children Health Study to the families in my pediatric
practice, especially those who are sick a lot. Do I feel
passionate about this product? Yes! Here’s why.
In April of 1997 I underwent major surgery for colon cancer,
followed by a long course of radiation and chemotherapy.
Realizing that colon cancer, and all major diseases for that
matter, are influenced by diet, I was determined not to let my
medical problem repeat itself. So I began devouring medical
literature on the connection between diet and health. During
the year following my surgery, I read volumes about nutrition,
subscribed to every nutrition journal I could find, put together a
collection of over 500 file folders about food and became what my
friends tagged a “health nut.” About three months into my new
style of eating, I noticed some amazing changes. My energy
level skyrocketed,prompting my wife, Martha to call me “Zip.”
We stepped up our ballroom dancing and even beat some of the
younger couples in the swing contest. My mind was working
better, too. I no longer needed glasses. I just plain
felt good all over – mind and body – and finally learned what
it is to experience real well-being. Too bad I had to get
sick in order to learn to eat right instead of eating right to
keep from getting sick.
 Why
was I feeling so good? The answer seemed clear: I was
putting the right fuel into my body that made it run better. As a
father of eight, author of 28 books, Associate Professor of
Pediatrics at University of California and a pediatrician at the
peak of his career I was going to do everything to keep my health
up and not let the cancer reoccur. Talk about
motivation! During my quests for what constitutes good
health I devoured books and articles about supplements and
discovered that one of the secrets of good health is to eat a lot
of fruits and vegetables that contain disease fighting chemicals
called “phytonutrients.” I call them “phytos” for
short. The same phytos that help keep the plants healthy
help keep our bodies healthy. Even thousands of years ago
Hippocrates said, “let food be thy medicine.” As I
studied the parade of supplements out there I’ve concluded that
whatever supplement I take must have good science and make good
sense.
That’s how I came across Juice Plus+®. It had good
science behind it and made good sense. A whole food based
supplement! Whole foods, a bunch of the healthiest fruits and
vegetables, juiced and dried at low temperatures, removing the
water, sugar, salt and bulk. These nutritious juice powders are
then put into capsules, chewables and gummies! Intrigued by this
concept of packaged phytos I realize my life depended upon eating
the right foods and taking the right supplements. So, I did
my life saving detective work. While visiting the factory
where Juice Plus+® is made I saw first hand the care and quality
that went into this product. In examining their independent
research I discovered that they had measured the blood levels and
found that disease-fighting “phytos” go way up after taking
Juice Plus+®. This was a vital discovery since it’s not
what’s on the package label that’s important, it’s how much
gets into the body. Finally I grilled the company
executives. They were honorable people. The
combination of good science, good sense and a reputable company
convinced me that this would be my supplement of choice.
Since taking Juice Plus+® daily and following an overall
healthy eating and exercise program I have not even had so much as
a cold, even though my wonderful little patients share their germs
with me everyday. The parents of children who are sick a lot often
thank me: “Since my children have been taking Juice Plus+® they
haven’t been sick as often.” Juice Plus+® is now the only
whole food supplement I take. I’m pleased to recommend the joy
of taking Juice Plus+®. to everyone who takes their health
seriously. If

Do your children get sick all the time? Do you
frequently feel tired and run-down? Is there a strong
family history of cancer or heart disease in your family? Is
it nearly impossible to get your children to eat fruits and
vegetables? Are you lacking the recommended 7 servings of
raw fruits and vegetables each day? If the answer to any of
these is yes, then Juice Plus is extremely important for you and
your family.
For many years the National Institute of Health, the American
Cancer Society, the American Medical Association, the American
Academy of Pediatrics and every other national health association
has emphasized the importance of eating five servings of raw
fruits and vegetables every day. The health benefits of this are
numerous, including:
- Protection against cancer
- Stronger immune system
- Prevention of chronic illness
- Protection against heart disease
- Slows down the effects of aging
These benefits are not only due to vitamins and minerals, but
also from the active enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients and
fiber contained within the raw fruits and vegetables. There are
many more potential benefits of these nutrients such as improved
intellectual function, better eyesight and increased energy level.
In short, our bodies simply function more efficiently.
One very important factor about fruits and vegetables that is
often neglected by Americans is that they need to be eaten raw.
Heat destroys the enzymes, fiber, and other active nutrients
present in raw foods. In order to receive all the benefits of
fruits and vegetables we need to eat them fresh and uncooked.
How many of us actually eat five servings of raw fruits and
vegetables every day? Most Americans may eat an orange with
breakfast and maybe an apple with lunch. We are pretty good at
making sure we finish our one or two cooked vegetables at
dinnertime. However, virtually all of us fall far short of the
quantity of raw fruits and vegetables required to protect us from
cancer, chronic disease, infection, high cholesterol and heart
disease. Very few of us are receiving the nutrition required to
help our bodies run smoothly and efficiently and to maximize our
potential for a healthy life.
It is difficult to get adults to consume their share of fruits
and vegetables, but trying to coax children, from toddlerhood
through the teenage years, to eat enough of them is near
impossible. Many parents worry about their two-year-old who barely
seems to eat anything at all or the busy teenager on-the-go who
doesn't sit down to eat. The active nutrients in fruits and
vegetables can maximize the physical and intellectual development
of our children as they grow through the school-age years.
JUICE PLUS+ IS A WAY TO GET ALL THE RAW FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY NEED EVERY DAY!
What is Juice Plus? It's a convenient and inexpensive
way to get all the nutrition from fresh, raw fruits and vegetables
everyday. Juice Plus is more than extra vitamins and minerals. It
is actually a whole food supplement. The fruit capsules are made
from apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries,
papayas, dates and prunes. The vegetable capsules are made from
carrots, barley, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, oats,
spinach, tomatoes.
How is Juice Plus made? The fresh fruits and vegetables
are juiced, then dehydrated to a powder form. It's carefully
tested to ensure no pesticides or other contaminants are present
in the product. It is never exposed to high temperatures that
would destroy the nutritional value of the fruits and vegetables.
Most of the vitamins, minerals, active plant enzymes,
phytonutrients, antioxidants, and fiber are preserved in the final
capsules. When re-hydrated with water, the nutrients are absorbed
into our bodies as if we had eaten the fruits and vegetables
whole.
Is Juice Plus as good as eating fruits and vegetables?
There's no complete substitute for eating the real thing. But how
many people actually eat such a wide variety of raw fruits,
vegetables and grains every single day? Juice Plus is a convenient
way to ensure you and your family get all the benefits over time
from adding more nutrition from fresh fruits and vegetables to
your diet. These benefits include prevention of cancer and chronic
illness, stronger immune system to protect against disease, slower
aging, healthier heart and lower cholesterol.
But my child already takes vitamins. Why does she need Juice
Plus? Juice Plus is not a vitamin supplement. It is considered
a whole food, containing virtually all the substance from the
fruits and vegetables. Manufactured vitamins are "dead"
vitamins. They are not in their natural form, and are therefore
not very well absorbed into your child's system. The vitamins and
nutrients in Juice Plus are virtually all absorbed.
Is there any scientific proof that Juice Plus really works?
Recent medical research has yielded some very interesting results
regarding Juice Plus. In one study, 15 adults consumed regular
doses of Juice Plus for 28 days. Blood levels of antioxidants
(substances that protect against cancer and heart disease)
increased dramatically: beta-carotene 500%; alpha-carotene 120%;
lutein/zeaxanthin/ tocopherol 50%; lycopene 2000%. Lipid peroxide
(an indicator of poor metabolism) decreased four-fold. Another
study, in which 46 adults consumed regular doses of Juice Plus for
80 days, not only yielded similar increases in antioxidant levels
but also demonstrated enhanced functioning of parts of the immune
system that help protect against multiple cancers and infectious
diseases. This study also showed a three-fold decrease in the
level of cellular DNA damage, which correlates with a decrease in
the effects of aging and risk of cancer and chronic illness.
This all may sound complicated, but the simple truth is that
Juice Plus+ is the best way to get your entire family to reap all
the benefits of a diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables. Juice
Plus comes in three forms:
- capsules for adults
- chewable tablets for older children
- great tasting gummy bears for toddlers and younger children
Eat the fruit capsules at breakfast and the vegetable capsules
at dinner with a glass of water to rehydrate them.
I am very excited about Juice Plus and have seen the benefits
in myself and my children. Start your family on Juice Plus today
and see the benefits over a lifetime!
