The Juicing Book

.  The Juicing Book
In The Juicing Book (1989) Stephen Blauer lists fruit juices for a variety of pains.
These charts are interesting, but in my experience Green Juices are the true healer. Drink lots of green juice and all your pain dissolves over time, emotional and mental too :)
Here's Stephen's advice on fruit juices (citrus = lemon, lime, orange):
  • Acne – papaya, strawberry
  • Aging (premature) – watermelon
  • Anemia – cherry, grape, citrus, prune
  • Arthritis – apple, cherry, watermelon
  • Asthma – cranberry
  • Bladder, urinary tract – cranberry, melon, pear
  • Bruises – grapefruit
  • Cancer, tumors – grape, papaya
  • Ear-ache – grapefruit, lemon, lime
  • Gall stones – cherry
  • Gout – apple, cherry, grape, citrus, pineapple, strawberry
  • Heart disease, high blood pressure – orange, papaya
  • Hemorrhoids – grape
  • Mucus membranes (including catarrh) – cherry, grape, grapefruit, citrus
  • Pain – strawberry, watermelon
  • Prostate disorders – cherry, pear, strawberry, watermelon
  • Thyroid gland – strawberry
  • Ulcers – papaya
  • Varicose veins – grapefruit
