Why 90 days ? Why juice ? And what's supposed to happen ?

Because 90 days is long enough to see results for most people, but not so long that it's an impossible time frame. Because drinking 10 lbs of vegetables is doable, but eating them is almost impossible raw. If you cook them, it's still hard to eat 10 lbs of vegetables and you've killed a lot of nutrients. Because it gives your body a break from digestion. You'll feel a lot better. Edit: even those that think the idea of vegetable juice curing anything is goofy basically have to admit that it forces you to avoid process junk for 90 days, and 'eat' tons of vegetables only. Which in itself is bound to fix a decent amount of things bothering people. You could argue that someone could just eat the vegetables, but it's very hard to get 1000-1500 calories just eating (chewing) raw vegetables. So juice them for 90 days. You won't feel too weak, and you'll give your body a break from digestion and from processed garbage.

  > You'll feel a lot better. But you don't say why and how it's relevant to the topic at hand. Anybody can come up with "eat vegetables". "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

    Almost every human on earth has come up with 'eat vegetables', correct. 1, most people don't enough of it anyway. 2, I didn't say I came up with. I said I think a massive dose of vegetables for 90 days, that are ultra easy to digest because most fiber has been removed, is beneficial. 3, I didn't say mostly plants. I said all plants. If you try to do that, you'll have a LOT of trouble getting 1000+ calories doing it. Juicing them makes it possible. But to your first point.. this thread was about people feeling terrible for months after an infection. We don't even know how or why they feel terrible. My advice was to try juicing vegetables, and not eating anything else, for 90 days. Because it has made MANY people that have tried it into believers. Out of people that have tried it, I'd say 40% think it's a miracle process, 50% think it's very good for you, and 10% think they didn't feel any different. Out of people that haven't tried it, 10% believe it would be great for them but they dont have the willpower to try it. The other 90% are usually negative about it without really having any good explanation.

  I usually process a bunch of vegetables in a Vitamix because I think it's better to have it with the fiber. Would this be less of a good thing than just a straight juice? I've heard the juice loan isn't great without the fiber, but I don't know.

    Blending a nice way to eat some vegetables for sure. The idea of this temporary diet is to give your body time to live off only vegetables, with limited digestion effort. Even if you don't care about digestion, it is hard to eat, even blended, enough vegetables to maintain energy/calories/body weight. Even blended, I don't think you could eat 10 lbs a day for 90 days. That's the main benefit. Unless you have an actual major sugar problem, I wouldn't worry too much about the sugar spike from juicing. We do much worse things than that to our body. Heck, some people even drink alcohol.
