I use a green drink supplement... it's called Vega. It was designed by a vegan triathelete (professional). He has a book out too, called the Thrive diet. I have found it extremely helpful in my attempts to give my son, with CF, the most bioavailable foods possible. It's also great for anyone trying to avoid dairy, vegetarians, and of course, vegans. And even if you are none of those, I believe you will find the information extremely relevant. I mix the the Vega product with any kind of juice (including coconut water on hot days when I am trying to boost his electrolytes), or I even add it to his yoghurt. He loves it. I give it to him in little glasses, and we "cheers" and drink to our health. It's been a great product for me as well.
I hope to start juicing soon as well... just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for what juicer to buy. They are a worthwhile investment, but I want to get the one that works the best, and isn't impossible to clean up without canceling the rest of your obligations for the day!
I would just like to say, I have seen some amazing results in my son's health by concentrating first and foremost on his diet. The dieticians look at me like I'm a weirdo most of the time, and then they say how pleased they are that he is doing so well (in three months jumped from the 10-25% in weight, to the 50%). But they don't even ask what I'm doing... they just assume the drugs are working. He has only been on antibiotics once this winter (and that's only because he stayed with his father...we are separated... and his father doesn't adhere to his nutritional needs with due diligence... or his sleep needs).
I wish the best of luck to all.
