the most inexpensive and hopefully adequate small juicer I could find.
decided to take it apart, wash and make a healthy juice for inflammation that I had read about.
It was difficult for me to take apart and almost gave up and was going to return - but kept trying
and finally accomplished. A lot of parts and after washing had difficulty putting back together.
I am not good at this but hopefully next time it will be quickly accomplished.
It made a good size glass of surprisingly very tasty juice and I am fussy...
taking this juicer apart, washing every piece
was time consuming. I think when I bake there is a lot of clean up and this compares to it :)
Even though articles suggested doing this 3 times a day
plan on doing this every morning for a while until I become
a bit faster at this process - if it is even possible.
This does not replace a meal, just an addition and I continued on with Kefir, yogurt, banana, flack seeds, blueberries, English muffin with jam :) and green tea.
Callie on the deck
watches my every move. So aware she wants to come inside - but it is warming and
this one
will soon be joining her in the sunshine and fresh air.

Ernestine,
I spent a lot of years using a juicer like yours. I agree it is a lot of work to take apart and re-assemble. I now use a very high-powered blender and it does a great job. I use it everyday and make a smoothie with spinach, kale, 2 fruits, oat bran, yogurt. I love it and feel so much healthier (no comment on the winter I've had!! LOL)
I have found a huge difference in my skin, and also brought BP and blood pressure way down.
It is worth every step.
Marcia, I use the blender also with recipe similar to yours
but thought I would juice and the article I read
recommended the apple, carrot and cabbage - so giving it a try.
At the moment
trying to find ways
to help this severe inflammation
and pain instead of medication :)
I bought a Breville juicer a few years ago and used it regularly for only a few weeks because of the time and effort needed for clean up.. However, using a simpler recipe, that is with only 2-3 ingredients, might make at least the first part, making the juice, easier. In any case, I applaud you for exploring ways to reduce inflammation and pain without medication. Wishing you much less of all these (-inflammation, - pain, - medication)!
Pienosole, the price on this juicer was so inexpensive and will see how this plays out.
Also will see how long this juicer will last - had good reviews :) thank you always for staying in touch with me - have a wonderful weekend
I do love the look on Callie's face. She is guarding you and watching to make sure you are okay.
I make fruit smoothies for a meal once in a while in my blender. Don't think I would be willing to clean that juicer, though. The love in that dog's eyes is so heartwarming!
Tabor, it is really good.
Judy and Tabor,
Callie is my special girl :)
I used to make myself both raw vegetable and fruit juices. They were often delicious but in the end I gave up because it was just too much hassle. I eat the vegetable and fruit instead, without juicing.
I gave up on juicing for exactly those reasons, the darn parts would not go in the dishwasher and if things can't be dumped in the dwasher I don't bother :(
Also I was concerned, being a foodie, that juicing was a kind of hidden calorie thing for me. I didn't count juice :(
Good luck with those inflammations and great you are taking a natural approach :)

Meant to say in my earlier note that I think the combo of carrot and apple juice is so delicious....glad you tried that!
Do keep us informed of the benefits regarding your inflammation challenges. I do believe it has made a difference for me. I see it fairly clearly now as I am not allowed to take any anti-inflammatory meds.
Wishing you much ease. Dealing with constant pain can really wear down one's spirits. You are so good about being pro-active....so happy you have Callie there with you, too. I keep going back to look at her sweet face at the door.
