5 out of 5 stars

I started doing the mini beet protocol in early May, I did the second protocol. I did it for 2 weeks then took 10 days off as I was out of town and had no access to a juicer. I had no HERX symptoms at that time and had worked up to 3/4 of a cup of beet juice.

On the positive benefits side... What I noticed was a reduction in a feeling of pressure in my bladder and abdomen in general. I needed fewer trips to the bathroom and the stream was longer and had more pressure. Where before it felt like had a cantalope sitting in there, I now feel nothing! That in itself is pretty awesome. Another thing I also noticed and this really surprised me... (because of Robert's claims this one was the one I had the least faith in).... Was I saw a marked reduction in crows feet and fine lines around the eyes.

I came back and started doing it again after a 10 day hiatus. I again started back with the 1/4 cup of beet Juice and began to work back up. I did at this point experience some symptoms... Bad headache and diarrhea. I just laid off it for a few days. Now I am just doing it 2 to 3 times a week. Apples are not yet in season here and they are expensive and "soft". I think I will hit it again everyday when the new crop comes in.

I initially did this as I swim 3 days a week and was concerend about my exposure to chlorine. I cannot comment with any scientific facts supporting the detox of the chlorine but I can say it was worth it for the benefits to my urinary tract alone. And the improved fine lines the icing on the cake.

I wanted to add a bit more to my comment on the mini beet protocol. I also noticed that was less "foggy" I seemed to get more alert. -----Also, today I only had one apple left to eat afterwards, so I added a tablespoon of chia seeds to the last glass of juice. My thoughts on this ran along the lines of the apple is for fiber and chia has lots of fiber. It required a drinking straw with a larger diameter... But they looked like mashed up raspberries so no problem getting it down. (I have problems with green smoothies.... I cannot drink anything that reminds me of pond scum, I have to put them in opaque containers with lids and use a straw! ) This was consumed 5 hours ago and I still feel full and not experiencing a headache.

To Suzy from Eugene, Or: Funny you should mention this! I'm on my 3rd day of the MBP and although I've got no celery, I'm using the beets, carrot, asparagus and an apple with a bunch of parsley thrown in. Today I had a very long drive of about 7 hours back home into the night and through driving rain. I noticed about half way how alert I'd been feeling all day and bouncing around getting things done before I left etc and how 'clear' my mind seemed. Sort of not foggy or sluggish like I realise it must have been before. I love the juice and plan to continue it each day. Am only having it once per day, is that enough?

To Cat from NZ... Earlier in a post Lisa from Thousand Oaks commented once a day is probably enough. She has much more experience with this protocol than I have. I myself did it twice in one day... But that was just to see if I could do it. Felt great! That said, given the price of organic produce I really can only afford it once a day myself! I have backed off to just 3 times a week until my own apples ripen!
