I follow all that you stated above.

Having a Vitamix really helps, but there are some things you can mix in a regular blender effectively.

I've shared this story before, but I wanted to tell you again. My husband told the guys at work, when he was working (argh!), "My wife bought a $500 blender." They were, like, "WHAT?!!!" Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hey! Tell me about this blender! Seriously.

I juiced some veggies up the other day. Greens and such. It was pretty good but my husband said UGH! that tastes like alfalfa! And he wouldn't drink anymore. He did, however, really like the juiced fruit I made.

I have watched all those videos and I am not sure what to make of all of it, but you know that when the flu shot was pointed at me in nursing school, I left. I have not regretted the decision either. I am very happy about the outcome. Things have worked out so well, I am amazed. Pray for my husband. Later this year it could be coming down at his job. Bill Gates and sterility or no, I know enough to steer clear.

Have you ever read The Virus and the Vaccine? Scary stuff.

No, I haven't read that.

When we had a rear-end collision, a couple of years ago, I was in ER. The nurse asked if I had a flu vaccine. When I stated no, she, literally, just about ran out of ER and was whispering to a nurse outside the door. Actually, I said, "No, I have not and never will." LOL!

I don't care if the world ends today. Personally, I am sick of everything, and it can only get worse. And when the church has the same statistics as the world on divorce, etc., it proves we are going nowhere fast. That doesn't have anything to do with God's commitment, it just humans beings being losers, as usual. That's my pity party comment today.

Praying for your husband's job issue!

So sugar is the debbil? Guess I am hell bound then!

Actually I cut sugar out of my coffee about a year ago, drink unsweetened tea and use Stevia some for sweetening things. I do still end up with a lot of sugar though because I love sweets!

ILG, I am so sorry I missed this yesterday.



I purchased mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond. You can go to the Vitamix website and locate the nearest Retailer.

It is great because, unlike a regular blender or a juicier, you get ALL the benefits of the fruits (have to peel your oranges, but then seeds don't have to be discarded) and vegetables. A juicer discards the skins and a blender does cut it up fine enough.

You do need to add an apple and/or banana to cut the bitterness of the vegetables you are adding. I found that bell peppers, cilantro, fresh ginger add a wonderful flavor to a smoothie. I also have a thread here with Smoothie recipes.

It is well worth the price and has an awesome warranty. Hope you can get one soon!

You love it because you are addicted. Not an uncommon thing at all. It takes some work, but makes you feel so much better not to include it in your diet.

Easiest way to eat better... Look at what's on your plate and ask yourself if you could have found that food to eat a few hundred years ago, if the answer is no don't eat it. Paleo or caveman diet... easy peasy.

Sugar is an addiction, sugar is made with the same process that Cocaine is made.

When a person quits sugar completely that person goes thru at least 2 weeks of withdrawal symptoms.

For years I have only used Agave or Stevia in my food, they are excellent.
