    F O R E W O R DI wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Norman

    W. Walker, D.Sc. for his untiring co-operation in thepreparation of this book.

    Dr. Walker has placed at my disposal , without reservation, the results of his experience, experiments andanalyses which have made possible the compilation andpublication, for the first time in history, of a fairlycomplete guide of the Therapeutic uses of our morecommon, every-day vegetables when these are taken inthe form of fresh, raw juices.

    It is hoped that this will prove to be not only a usefuland handy reference guide for all the members of myprofession, but will also be of considerable help to thosewho wish to derive the utmost benefit from the naturalfoods which God created for the nourishment of Man.

    You don't need to relate your health to your age! For more than100 years, Norm an W. W alker, Ph.D., proved through research thatwell-being and long life can go hand-in-hand. Modem day nutritionistsand medical researchers are just now d iscoverinq the truths which Dr.Walker has known and,expounded throughout the twentieth century.Dr. Walker himself was living proof that a longer, healthier life may beachieved through proper diet, mental soundness, and intelligent bodycare. Every year we read about a new fad diet, a "cure-all" drug, a foodsupplement, or a revolutionary exercise program that w ill save our lives.The Dr. Walker program is unique in that it doesn't use the promotionalwords , "miracle, fad, or revolutionary" ....it doesn't need them !Dr. Walker's contributions to our living longer, healthier lives beganbefore the turn of the century in London , where as a young man hebecame seriously ill from o ver-work. Unable to accept the idea of illhealth or a sick body, Dr. Walker cured himself. Since that time , hespent the balance of his life search ing man's ability to exten d life andachieve freedom from disease.In 1910, Dr. Walker established the Norwalk Laboratory ofNutritional Chemistry and Scientific Research in New York, and thusbegan his important contributions to a longer, more active form of living.Am ong his great contributions.was the discovery of the theraputic,value of fresh vegetable juice s, and in 1930 the development of theTriturator Juicer.

    We believe Dr. W alker was one of the world's leading nutritionist;his unique contributions are all available to you through his books.

    what's missing in your body?Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices

    The human body i s inext r i cably dependent on the qua l i ty of foodand no l ess i t s ' com pat ib i l i ty w i th the nee ds of the body. People h aveawakened t o t h i s r ea l i za t i on , bu t on l y i n t he pas t t wo cen t u r i e s .Gradua l ly , more and more l ight was shed on the myste r ious workingsof the human ana tomy and the manner in which the body ut i l i zes them i ne ra l s and Vi t am i ns co m po s i ng such food .

    T h e resul ts ob tained in help ing the bo dy reco ver from n ear ly everydi s turb anc e or a i lm ent , have been a lm ost phe no m en al the W or ld over ,par t icular ly in the area of Juice Th erap y. Today, any pe rson n ot fam il iarwi th the nut r i t ional and rec up erat iv e value of fresh v eg etab le and f ruitj u i c e s is woe fu ll y un i n fo rme d .

Th e i r va lu e is now def in i t e ly recog nized bythe wel l - informed, inc luding profess iona l s as wel l as l aymen. Therea so n for the efficacy of su ch ju ic es l ies in th e fact that , by sep ara t ingthe mineral e le m en ts and the dis t i lled wate r in the food from the f ibers ,th i s l iquid food i s d iges ted in a mat te r of minutes . The d iges t iveprocesses requi red to separa te the minera l e l ements f rom the f ibers ,on the other hand, involve labor and t ime - actual ly hours - to beexpen ded by the d i ges ti ve o rg ans .

    I t i s thus imperat ive that throughout each day of l i fe , a wel lba lanc ed d ie t should con ta in as the main course , a s a lad com po sed ofa var ie ty o f vege tab les - RAW VEGETABLES! To gu ide you in theselect ion and prep arat ion of such salad s , I hav e wr i t ten the book T heV e g e t a r i a n G U I D E T O D I E T & S A L A D S ( o r D I E T & S A L A DS U G G E S T I O N S in o l d er e d it io n s .)

    In response to innumerable reques ts for informat ion regardingthe mine ral con ten ts of food, we have ad de d an A pp en dix to th is N ewEdi t ion . Th is con ta ins an ana lys i s o f our m os t f ami l ia r and com m onlyused foods .

    I mus t emphas ize the fact that i t i s v i r tual ly imposs ible to grow,even organ ica lly , the PE R F EC T produc t from A N Y seed . Th e reasonfor this is that the re are m an y factors involved in the gro w ing o f plan tswhich vary, somet imes radical ly , f rom one plot of ground to another .

    A l s o , there are today, m any var ie t ies of a lm ost every kind of food.For example , here a re some of the var ie t i es o f car ro t s ava i lab le :Impera tor , Chantenay , Danvers and Oxhear t , each hav ing a s l igh t lydif ferent mineral composi t ion f rom the others , but not enough to takethem out of the car rot category. Th is i s a lso true w i th other v ege tables .We are obl iged to use any analyt ical informat ion about food as agenera l gu ide . This i s because of the var iab le condi t ions o f so i l ,c l imate , loca t ion and method wi th which the p lan t ing i s done .

    A var ie ty of veg etables in our food co m bin at io ns assures our bo dyof obtaining al l the vi tamins and minerals i t has need of .

    O rgan ical ly grow n food, i f ob taina ble , is no rm al ly of sup er iorquali ty, un fortu na tely it is al l too often un ob tain ab le. It w ou ld be amis take to become a fanat ic about the qual i ty of food we are obl igedto pu rch ase a t m ark ets . To those w ho se awa rene ss on th is subject runtoo deeply , i t would seem to me that perhaps i t would be wise tom ov e to the co un try w he re you can grow yo ur ow n food. I t is pr im ari lywi th th i s thought in mind tha t I w ro te the book BA CK TO TH E L A N DFor Sel f -Preservat ion.

    General ly speaking, i f you are not able to buy exact ly the foodyou want, then as long as i t is necessary to do so, take the best of whatIS avai lable .

    Just be sure that you pick the freshest and best quali ty you see,and th is appl ies to whether you are buying your vegetables for Saladso r mak ing you r J u i ces .

    forming food used by human beings. The casein content of cow'smilk is exceedingly high being about 300% more than is contained inmother's milk. (Casein is a milk by-product used as one of the mosttenacious adhesive glues for gluing wood together). This is one of thereasons for the mucous conditions experienced by both children andadults who grew up drinking quantities of such milk. Colds, runnynoses, tonsil, adenoid and bronchial troubles are common results ofmucous, whereas carrot juice is one of the greatest aids in theelimination of mucous.

    This prodigious generation of mucus in the body as a result ofdrinking such quantities of cow's milk is not limited to youngstersbut is found just as much in adults, where the effects are likely to befar more disastrous because, as people grow older their resiliency iscorrespondingly lower than in the younger generation.

    When milk is needed, there is one kind of milk that is compatiblewith human digestion from infancy to senility, Raw Goat's milk.

    Raw Goat's milk is not mucus forming. If a mucous conditiondevelops after drinking it, it will usually be due to an excessiveprevious use of starches and sugars, not to the Goat's milk. This milkmust be used RAW, and it must not be heated above 1 1 8 F , norpasteurized.

    For infants there is no better milk than mother's milk. Raw Goat'smilk is the next best. Some fresh-raw carrot juice may be added to itwith benefit. In fact, Raw Goat's milk can be added to any fresh-rawvegetable juice satisfactorily. We will have more to say about milklater.

    We must always bear in mind that in the use of fresh-raw vegetableand fruit ju ice the quality of the juice has a distinct bearing on theresults obtained.

    When the juice is incompletely extracted from the vegetable orfruit, they are in the form of vital organic water and as such are stillbeneficial, but their effective power is proportionately diminisheddue to the absence of the vitamins and enzymes which are left behindin the fiber and the pulp.

    The various members and organs of the human body, as well asevery part comprising them, are composed of microscopic cellscontaining the various elements already listed. These cells areconstantly being used up in the normal course of human existenceand must be constantly rebuilt. The food required for this purposemust be vital, organic food and must contain an ample supply of the
