Joe cross is a total scam… and obsessed with food like a bottomless pit glutton. It’s a disgrace he hawks a machine because he makes a profit being an owner of the company, the machine is barely adequate and over priced

PS:
I take prednisone, leflunomide, cimzia (certolizumab pegol costing $3000 per month) gabapentin, mirabegron, hydrochlorothiazide, solifenacin, lisinopril, atenolol, vitamin D3, vitamin B complex, apixaban, methocarbamol and 3 otc sleep aids. I frequently use topical ointments containing NSAIDs diclofenac, trolamine salicylate and lidocaine plus menthol, methyl salicylate and camphor. Any reduction in dosages or numbers of drugs due to weight loss would be an improvement.

I see a lot of common sense in the fact that if you if you lose weight you will feel better and be healthier, weather or not you have a disease or toxins in your body. How is that a scam or a lie?
All of these ingredients are probably cheaper than the food you are eating now and just about everybody has a blender. So how is that a scam?
To me a scam is when somebody is selling some miracle product, or a miracle machine.
What is Joe selling? A book? Just don’t buy the book and you haven’t been scammed.
I am going to give it a try because it wont cost me anything and the worst that could happen is that it does not work.
I am 76 and weigh around 250 lbs, I have psoriatic arthritis, serious osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, macrocytosis, mgus, hypertension, and a few other chronic diseases. Loosing weight will help me feel better.
So what do I have to loose?

In reply to Ian.

Why would you ever eat an Avo seed?
Yes some plants have been sprayed to keep the bugs off, but it is still far better then eating meat products and processed foods which have a much higher chemical/toxic rating. Food from the ground is always best, organic even better… there is definite science you just got to look in the right places, not just people posting there views on their internet blogs etc

What the health – Netflix is a good place to start.
Juice plus and University of Newcastle – youtube

hope these 2 links off the top of my head help x

In reply to Dennis. I'm not sure you even know what your talking about, since when is buying fruits and vegetables and putting them into a juice and drinking it scamming people out of their hard earned money? This entire article is the dumbest thing I have just about ever read. It's fact that fruits and vegetables are good for everyones body and last I checked no famous people are marketing the consumption of fruits and vegetables and scamming anyone into eating more of what we should b eating anyway!

One would have to be completely desperate to take this man’s advise. “Like seriously”. Amazing how you tell people Joe’s weight loss is from him consuming a low amount of calories yet fail to mention how he was off his 11 medications after 60 days. You use zero scientific facts to back up your claims, yet you say “like seriously”, and “literally”. And we are supposed to take you seriously because you have a sense of humor about your mole.

Sara Mata Stevens is just one name who comes to mind. I’m not sure if you are deliberately misleading people or are just pathetically ignorant. Either way, your article is scary for a whole host of reason.

I’ve never watched fat sick and nearly dead. Nor do I have the will to. However, I’m just curious to know what your credentials are Keith? You’ve brought up an interesting arguement. My girlfriend and I have been debating getting a $300 juicer and then this article pops up. I was a former substance abuser. I’ve been looking into alternative diets for a healthier lifestyle in order to cleanse my liver and gut from the damage I’ve done to myself. Such diets include IF, ketogenic diet, etc. Could you point me in the direction of some useful information to study the methodology of these diets a bit further? Thanks. -Tyler

In reply to Lynn. Lynn, when I was very young I was macrobiotic. At that time I also tried to get people to think about the type of food they put into their bodies. I did not portray myself as an expert, though. Nor did I sell my knowledge. Incidentally, did your father-in-law, your father and mother do juicing? I'd be very curious to learn how they did...

I started watching the aforementioned Joe Cross video. Well, actually I fast forward to (10 minutes?) him putting veggies he had just purchased, inside his “juicer”… So much care to get “organic” veggies/fruits yet no cleaning before juicing? Mmm… Also, what does Joe Cross have against the beautiful pulp full of gorgeous fiber? I really don’t get it.

Now, I simply LOVED Phil’s comment: “Where’s the scam? I’ve just done 28 days. All it cost me was the fruit and veg I bought from the local store? Who scammed me?” Bless his naive little soul… Unless Phil mashed the fruits/veggies by hand, pressed them through a sieve, then through some fine muslin to get to almost pure juice, he needed something else. And what would that something else be? Well, a juicer, no less! And guess who sells juicers? Our pal Joe Cross does! From $100 up (plus taxes, mind you) you can get your own dream juicer.

No, not really a scam, since Joe is not forcing anyone to buy his products–which are a total of seven: apps, books, certification, coaching services, juicers, movies and protein powder, plus T-shirts and totes! The scam is in the fact that there is no scientific evidence that this man’s diet “detoxes” yet he sells it as such! Any pharmaceutical company that dared less than he does would be closed by now!

Thanks for the article, Keith. And congratulations on this excellent website.

PS: The link to “intermittent fasting” is not working.

I don’t know whether you are right, or Joe is, or whoever else, but my question to you is this – if you realy soley on scientific research to, let’s say’, believe that certain process is in fact true, what kind of scientific methodology you used to proove that Joe’s sucess was due to his low calroies intake? 🙂
