We do not recommend combining fruits with vegetables when you are juicing, except all apples combine well with fruits and vegetables; however there are a few exceptions. In Jays book, Live Foods/Live Bodies you will see the small exceptions. You can always purchase his book by going to: Juicedaddy.com. Never combine melons with other fruits. You may combine different types of melons with each other.
Soak and rinse all non organic produce in the hydrochloric acid solution mentioned on page 16. Scrub, if necessary with a natural bristle brush the carrots. Sometimes even organic carrots and commercial carrots come with lots of dirt and debris, so its always best to either brush them or to peel them with a potato peeler before juicing. Lemon and lime skins are juice-able, but if they are not organic, peel the skin and leave as much of the white pith as possible. Peel oranges and grapefruits ~ NEVER juice these fruits with their peels on them. The peels of oranges and grapefruits have an acid in them that are very bitter and extremely hard to digest, but the limes and lemons are less troublesome, but in the past ten years Linda and I do not use the peels of any of the citrus fruits, so its up to you. What works best for us, is to leave as much of the PITH of the citrus fruits on as possible, so gently peel the skin off and you are ready to juice. Melon seeds y around so remove them as much as possible before juicing, and that would apply also to watermelon. Cut produce in pieces that will naturally t into the large opening located on the top of the juicer cover.

Ready~Set~Juice!
This juicer has two speeds. Slow speed is #1 speed which is for softer fruits such as tomatoes, oranges, tangerines, berries, etc.,. and the #2 speed is for harder fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, broccoli, beets, celery, etc... In our DVD you will discover from Jay, more information about this lovely feature of the Juicedaddy Juicer. You have now read the directions, and you have prepared the produce and the motor is now on...... so heres what you do next: Feed produce slowly into the juicer without using force. Never push any fruit or vegetable into the feed hole without your ngers while the juicer is in operation. Do not use utensils other than the pusher provided with the juicer to push food through during juicing. Put carrots with the larger end in rst. When you are juicing carrots and greens, heres a great tip: Bunch greens up in clumps and put them half way down into the tube, then follow with several carrots, and continue to do this process until your juicing is done. Doing it this way ensures the greens will not slip out the back, somewhat unused. Soft fruits such as bananas, apricots, plums, mangos and papaya are not suitable for juicing because they can become too brous, and are better suited for blending. It may also damage the juicer. All greens are usable in our Juicedaddy juicer. Even wheatgrass can be used. Please follow the directions in juicing wheatgrass as the same as
21
the greens mentioned above. Alternate between the wheatgrass and the carrots so that this way things are juiced more optimally and efciently. Pears are a soft fruit too but are acceptable for juicing in your new juicer. Just make sure they are rm, and if they are somewhat soft, just alternate pears and then apples, and then pears so the juice from the pears are juiced optimally as well. Produce buying ~ why buy organic? The soil, sun and water are the three elements needed to nurture a plant. Of these three elements, the soil is the only one we can control. The health of a plant depends on the health of its food, which is the soil! If the plant is fed articially with chemicals and spray with toxic pesticides, we must observe that by eating the plant we are also eating and absorbing the chemicals. If the soil builds the plant and the plant builds us, it makes good sense to get the purest, most natural plant food we can nd. However, the juice of any fruit or vegetable, whether organic or not is better than no juice at all. Ask for organic whenever you can, even when it is not available. Demand creates supply! Make sure if you are not buying organic, that you use our natural hydrochloric acid recipe on page 16. Buying tips for specic kinds of produce Oranges: The best juicing oranges are Valencia. Navel oranges are good when Valencias are not available. Grapefruit: Pink and red make a sweeter juice, the white being somewhat tart, yet they are rich in bioavinoids. Select thin-skinned grapefruits that are heavy for their size, as they will be most ripe and juiciest.
22
Pineapples: They should be ripe yellow with very little if any green. It is overripe if it has soft spots that bubble with a fermented smell when pressed with your ngers. Leaves should be fresh. If one of the small center leaves snaps easy when tugged on with your ngers, it is ripe. If it is still green towards the top of the pineapple, sore upside down at room temperature until it turns yellow. Heres a great tip..... regarding pineapple cones: If you do not want to take that bristly and dirty pineapple cone home with you just hold onto the pineapple with your left hand rmly, then take the cone in your right hand and twist rmly to the right, as if you are unscrewing a lid off of a jar... and there you have it, it comes off and you are free of the cone! Cantaloupe: Should be rm on the outside but soft on the ends where the little round dip appears, and it should smell sweet as well, as it indicates ripeness. Peaches and pears and other soft fruits should be juiced between ripe and soft. Its tricky to get it ripe enough but not too soft, however, Linda and I usually combine apples with these softer fruits so as to create more evenness in our juice drink.

It has also been effective by up to fty to seventy percent in stopping neural tube defective troubles in pregnancies.

Ten to fteen minutes of good sunshine three times weekly is adequate to produce the bodys requirement of vitamin D. This means that we dont need to obtain vitamin D from our diet unless we get very little sunlight usually not a problem for children.

Uses: Iodine helps regulate the rate of energy production and body weight and promotes proper growth. It also promotes healthy hair, nails, skin and teeth. Since we add iodine in our salt here in America, goiters and such are rare disorders. Iron Food Source: Kelp (seaweed) which can be juiced but wrap it around carrots and then juice, if you are using seaweed sheets, and if you are not, then alternate between the seaweed and the carrots for best utilization of the seaweeds juice, which by the way is minimal, but seaweed is powerfully packed with lots of natural iron.
