Hiya!
Yeah, I'd be happy to give this a try :) would be a v valuable source of info.
Hi Lucy hope you find a great flatmate soon :)
Thanks for the tips Katya and Anabrese :)
HI, Blenders such as Vitamix and Blentec make whole fruit/veg juice. SO you still have pulp, and by adding water/ice, you get juice consistency. Juicer (masticating are best, as they are not heating the juice, preventing enzymes from being destroy...
I make all my juices using the vitamix and then sieving.
Um.. not really sure a Vitamix makes juices as such - it's really more like smoothies. But if you added water maybe you would get a more juice like texture to whatever you put in there, if it was too thick for your liking. It leaves no chunks or b...
Hi Lucy,
Lol, I'm not sure I know either! I think it's a juicer I'm after, I guess... what confused me is even though vita-mix is a blender from what I've read it sounds ideal because it makes juices. Had a look at Champions and if I can afford t...
Hi Laroo,
It was great to meet with you too! I'm a bit confused as to whether it's a juicer or a blender that you're looking for, but I have a vitamix blender and a champion juicer. Not the economical choices but they are fantastic and I would re...

- Hey laroo,
Next week is really good for me as I am on annual leave the whole next week and am just going to totally chillax. I have a few things lined up, but can be pretty flexible, so just let me know when suits you and your work. I live quite near Blantyre train station so would be happy to collect you from there - you can get a low level train from Central. As for the juices, I'm not really fussy, so bring whatever you want to experiment with - this is your play time! xx

Thanks for the lovely comments. I am so happy that you have found it useful & easy to use. Even if it helps just you it will have been worth creating. I had a hyperthyroid - my thyroxine levels were 99 instead of 22... i managed to reduce these levels with carbimozol ( took it for 3 weeks instyead of 2 years) - but also started a fully raw diet with green juices every day.... the combo worked.
The doctors had told me that I would have to have my thyroid removed & be on hormone replacement for the rest of my life. Listen to yourself. Dont flatly believe what the doctors say... they know some things, things that have been taught to them - you know more about you than they do.
Read the 'who am I?' page in the 'about' section - has my story. There is some emotional work to do do... all sickness is the body's way of waving a red flag & saying "enough already!" If its your throat area thats waving the fag - there's probably some things you need to say... expression... fear of expression? All about facing the fear.. Anyway - any questions please email.
Lots of love, Fi x

You're welcome! It's a great site isn't it although the general forums can get a bit iffy at times. I tend to stick to the Scotland group info :)
