Steve, do you have an actual juicer or what do you use?
not sure what its called.. its got a big opening at the top and you drop whatever you want into it and it juices and it leaves the pulp which you can use in soups or what not.
my X had a thyroid problem. keep in mind her diet consisted of mcdonalds and soda. she started juicing every morning, a lot of kale and greens.. went back to the doc after a couple months and he said "oh your thyroid is fine" he couldn't figure out what she did. she hasn't looked back since, she actually is a competitive athlete today.
