We have a whole food deficiency in the United States. Juice PLUS+ is whole food nutrition.

I first learned about Juice PLUS+ from my patients 15 years ago. It made sense to me because it combines the nutrition from 30 fruits, vegetables, and grains into easy to swallow capsules or chewables. In contrast, vitamins are isolated, synthetic chemicals and do not contain the synergy of nature's own food.

When I first reviewed the research behind Juice PLUS+, I immediately thought of my own two small children. I knew I wanted to provide the best nutrition available. I was delighted to learn that my children were eligible to participate in the Children's Health Study, enabling them to take Juice PLUS+ for free for three years. Now, the Healthy Starts for Families program is currently enabling children, ages 4-18 or enrolled as a full-time undergraduate college student, to take Juice PLUS+ free for up to FOUR years, as a part of their family’s participation in the study.

After starting Juice PLUS+, the colds and sinus infections I had experienced on a regular basis since my years started in Pediatrics disappeared. In addition to the available scientific research and my own family's positive health benefits, I can offer an anecdotal observation that the patients of mine who take Juice PLUS+ regularly experience fewer colds, have fewer sick visits, and take fewer medications. This subjective observation is, in fact, supported by the Healthy Starts for Families program(https://www.juiceplus.com/us/en/get-started/healthy-starts-about).

Physicians and researchers agree on the importance of building and protecting health by eating 7-13 servings of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables every day. These whole foods contain antioxidants and phytonutrients that prevent the harmful effect of free radicals(which lead to aging, disease, and death). Unfortunately, few of us ever eat our 7-13 daily servings of fruits and vegetables. That's why Juice PLUS+ bridges the gap! It has been called, "the next best thing to fruits and vegetables."

To my knowledge, no other over the counter or prescription product can equal Juice PLUS+ in its ability to strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, prevent a wide variety of diseases, and even protect and repair DNA. And no other product of its kind has been backed by the third-party independent research studies (click here to see studies) to document the effectiveness that Juice PLUS+ has generated.

Every day, I take my orchard, garden and vineyard capsules with breakfast, and then go to my office and recommend Juice PLUS+ to my patients. I have joined other reputable pediatricians like Bill Sears, MD(California) in becoming a distributor. If you would like additional information about Juice PLUS+, go to my website,
