I took a break now to try green juice for a while but occasionally I have beetroot juice.

I noticed on the beetroot juice that I lost tons of fat in places where I never could lose fat before.  Also, people would tell me that I looked great and wondered what I had done to look so healthy.

The coolest thing though. I have done Bikram Yoga about 5 times/week for 3 years.

About a month after I started with the juice my flexibility increased exponentially. I all of a sudden could get into a couple of poses that I simply could not get into before. I then read that beetroot juice has a lot of oxalic acid, which supposedly breaks down calcium deposits in your body. Makes sense to me given my miraculous yoga experienced. I mean, I made years of progress in 4 weeks.

However, the most energy boosting thing I have ever tried is eating 3-4 medium sized beetroots raw first thing in the morning. I don't know what happens but it just gives my an insane rush of energy. Scary actually how powerful that is. But it is really time consuming to chew them down.

Can I just use celery, in place of carrots? I've recently become allergic to raw carrots. I've developed many food allergies in the last few months and I know that my liver was affected by an IV antibiotic I was on. It destroyed my gallbladder, so I had to have that removed. I can't digest fats at all and I just keep putting on weight. I do eat cooked beets a few times a week and love them, so I'm hoping that this works for me. I'm also allergic to coriander (cilantro) and fennel (caraway).

Hi Maria, was it only pure beetroot juice you were taking or did you mean the MBP mixture? Fennel and asparagus are very difficult to obtain here, so if good results come from the beetroot only I am ready to give it a solid try. Cheers.

Hi Cathrine, sorry for a late reply. I did pure and simple beetroot juice without anything added. I don't know about others but it was OK with me. I also have a friend who did the same thing and it was fine with him as well. I may have experienced some degree of nausea initially but nothing major and I got used to it so I drank it daily without any problems.

Lislcat, I think you can mix with celery. I gave my parents a huge glass of beetroot juice mixed with some pineapple juice. It tastes SO good actually. Also mixing in an apple makes it taste really good. Both my parents drank it without problem.

I have a gut feeling though that it is more powerful to leave it as is, and not mix in any sweet fruits. It just depends on how hard core you want to be.

Maria De, Just put your beets in a strong blender, add some water and blend. You won't have to spend all that time chewing, just drink it down and get the same benefits!

I tried oxalic acid yesterday to try to cure myself and now I have upper back pain and kidney pain, I slept really bad last night too. I strongly don't recommend anyone to take oxalic acid to cure any medical condition.

I have taken maybe 4g maximum

Do anyone have any advice for me to remove this upper back pain/kidney pain/feeling of heavy leg after oxalic acid have been taken?

Thanks
