I know I can't buy pomegranates, and I most definitely can get the juice. It's all over the place, in various forms.

I would only get the one that has no added sugar.

But, my question is, ...because I juice fresh in the morning, would adding a tablespoon of anything from a bottle or plastic container (because it's heated, I think...), well, that would interrupt the live enzyme thing going on that I'm getting from fresh juicing.

If someone comes here and says 'okay Melody, buy the purest form of pomegranate juice you can find, and add it to your fresh juicing stuff in the morning, then that's what I would do.

But if someone says: "nah, don't bother, if you are going fresh, go fresh all the way",, then I'll wait until the season comes and then I'll buy fresh pomegranates.

I get plenty of anti-oxidants in my juicing and most definitely in my diet. And the Methyl B-12 has literally saved my life.

I have more energy than ever. If it wasn't for my osteoartritis (that bends me like a pretzel from time to time, when the weather is nuts), I'd be a different person. But I'll take what I can get.

I also have scoliosis. Can't do anything about that. I leave it alone, and it leaves me alone. Once in a while it bothers me, but hey, as long as my feet don't burn, I don't give a fig.

Just now I was explaining to Alan that I have AN IDEA of what he's been going through with his Neuropathy all these years.

He said to me and I quote:

"Melody, you know when you order a bagel and cream cheese and they put a shmear on the bagel??" and I said "yeah, a shmear, is a little bit".

He then said "then you have a bit of an idea what neuropathy is. You had a shmear, I had the whole kit and kaboodle. I was on fentanyl for over 2 years. 150 patch. Do you know what kind of pain I was in when I had to go on that patch"??

I looked at him. I understood.

That's why I keep my sugar levels as good as I can get them, and I don't cheat.

I will do anything humanly possible to keep my neuropathy at bay.

And the Methyl B (in my case), was the boost that got me started.

I only had the neuropathy for a short while before I went on the Methyl B. Alan tried it but it didn't do a thing for him. But he's had it for over 18 years. Too much damage I gather.

But he's better than he was 7 years ago. Oh my god, how much better.

When we juice, his skin is getting clearer, his psoriasis doesn't flare up so much. Hey, whatever works, that's what I say.

So someone let me know if adding a bit of the pomegranate juice in the a.m. will make any difference whatsoever? Or should I just wait until I can get my hands on fresh pomegranates? I also read that grapes are packed with anti-oxidants, but grapes are very high in sugar so I don't use them.

Thanks much.

Melody
