I thought that I would post my experience about the mini beet protocol. I am going into my 3rd week on the mini beet protocol and I have definitely seen some improvements in my health. The first thing that started about day 2 is great digestion and bowel movements. I had suffered from mild forms of constipation for years and now that has lifted. I feel as though I am gaining confidence in my health again. My eye lashes are much longer, my skin color is no longer as pale and my eyes are whitening up more and more each week. My feet are softer as well. My kidney function has improved and my bladder function has improved as well. I have no desire for junk food at all. My cravings for sweets have disappeared. Even when my husband eats carrot cake right in front of me I have no desire at all to even taste it. My legs do not burn walking up hills anymore.
I will say that eating the apples afterward are starting to taste too sweet for me. While I don't get nausea or headaches as some others do, my detox reaction is that my bones get a little sore if I don't eat enough apples. I also combine the mini beet protocol with green pasteures fermented cod liver oil and a parasite cleanse.
I do the mini beet protocol first thing in the morning and go on about the rest of my day eating normally. I do the MBP at about 6am and am very very hungry about 9:30am. I have lost a little weight, however I feel stronger which is usually not the case when I am detoxing. My first meal today after my MBP was pearl barley salad and a sweek baked potato. My lunch is vegan black bean chilli. My dinner will probably be a green veggie smoothie or some type of smoothie. I chew my food very very thorough especially eating that many apples to avoid lots of gas and bloating. In addition the the MBP I have now started putting the beets in my smoothies. My body feels much more relaxed. I am not very restrictive with my diet the rest of the day because I feel as though I eat clean and healthy and balanced so I feel no need to do any type of very restrictive detoxing at this time. I went on the MBP due to extreme allergies to everything I eat. Now I still sneeze after eating and drinking certain things but no where near it was when I started and now I can sleep through the nite. I also eat local Grass Fed Beef Liver a few times a week and I feel uber strong. This is the only meat that I eat, before this I didn't eat anything. I started eating the Beef Liver to get my iron levels up to be able to start the MBP. My iron was up in 3 days time on the beef liver and I just happened to like how great my body felt after eating it that I just kept eating it.
In love and light to all, Yod

On the positive benefits side... What I noticed was a reduction in a feeling of pressure in my bladder and abdomen in general. I needed fewer trips to the bathroom and the stream was longer and had more pressure. Where before it felt like had a cantalope sitting in there, I now feel nothing! That in itself is pretty awesome. Another thing I also noticed and this really surprised me... (because of Robert's claims this one was the one I had the least faith in).... Was I saw a marked reduction in crows feet and fine lines around the eyes.
I came back and started doing it again after a 10 day hiatus. I again started back with the 1/4 cup of beet Juice and began to work back up. I did at this point experience some symptoms... Bad headache and diarrhea. I just laid off it for a few days. Now I am just doing it 2 to 3 times a week. Apples are not yet in season here and they are expensive and "soft". I think I will hit it again everyday when the new crop comes in.
I initially did this as I swim 3 days a week and was concerend about my exposure to chlorine. I cannot comment with any scientific facts supporting the detox of the chlorine but I can say it was worth it for the benefits to my urinary tract alone. And the improved fine lines the icing on the cake.

I then decided to do the first protocol and have been doing it for the last 4 weeks.
There is no doubt that the fennel version tastes a lot better not to mention that the first protocol is more expensive since the asparagus are more expensive than fennel and not as nearly as juicy so you need a big amount of those. I have decided to do it for about 2 months and was hoping to see an effect but to be honest I haven't seen anything remotely close to what some of the people has written on this site. I strongly believe that I am detoxing by doing that I'm just trying to figure out whether I am doing something wrong so that I don't see those effects or I guess it just depends on the body type, etc.
Anyway, since I haven't gotten any answer to how long I need to do this to be sure that I have detoxed, I've decided to do at least 2 months. Since you have seen such results with the second version, I may switch to it now or after the 2 months I have done the first one. I just wanted to ask you to keep posting in the future so that we're all more informed on how this second protocol is working for you with the time. Thanks a lot and once again I am very happy for you!

After a few days I noticed a fog lift from my thinking. I didn't even realize it was there until it was gone. That was such a pleasant surprise, so when the detox started happening just a few days later - I didn't mind at all, knowing it was truly helping me out. Slight headache and a cold was what I got, plus of course the bowel clearing.
After just 3 weeks of the protocol I was cured of Hypothyroidism (got checked by a doctor) and some long-standing skin rashes cleared up.
I also got rid of lots of excess mucus and the thick white coating on my tongue that is said to be caused by candida. The feeling of strength and well-being after drinking the juice is incredible, and the fennel actually makes it taste good. I know the first protocol takes a long time to make and tastes awful to most, but the second one is really easy and tastes a LOT better. This protocol really does help!

This might sound a little bit gross but I have also noticed that just with-in a day of taking the juice, that my bowels are moving better. I have not had very good bowel movements and they tend to appear like little clusters of "rock" formations.... Yesterday evening before retiring for the night, I went to the bathroom and I heard a big PLOP! A "Boulder" fell out!!!! Figure of speech, of course...... Hmmmm.. I'm thinkin'... Must be really plugged up... Both in the Head area, and in the rear!!! Hahaha...... I am beginning to feel the difference already... And, it's only been two days. Looking forward to more Good results.
This protocol is also very filling too. I ate apples and carrots during the day. No cravings. I then ate a nice salad for dinner and am drinking lots of water. I might add that I am going to follow this protocol exactly as directed. To be cont.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
It helped with cellulite, fat around waist and face, energy, and I believe healing /detoxing.
This past October I started again, after having some infected root canals removed. Same source for asparagus and beets. My carrots are local (no pesticides used but fertilized once, because Organic carrots are irradiated at the border) It's been about 5 weeks of the 1 cup beet mbp in the am.
Problem: I'm feeling nauseous right from the ingesting of the cinnamon which continues while downing the juice, and by the time I've eaten the apples and carrot, I have full blown detox symptoms, including a week of stabbing pains in the side of my head! Yet, my sleep is improving, and I sense this powerful detox program is healing my body. I have kidney and liver disease and am noticing stronger kidneys and less pain. I do take one (am) and often a second (pm) coffee enema a day which helps a lot. I've also had 6 ozone injections which has helped the infections. Vitamin C, E, and astaxathan I take daily. My diet is whole foods, gluten and dairy free.
Does anyone have any similar experiences or ideas as to what this could be?
Thanks.

I took a break now to try green juice for a while but occasionally I have beetroot juice.
I noticed on the beetroot juice that I lost tons of fat in places where I never could lose fat before. Also, people would tell me that I looked great and wondered what I had done to look so healthy.
The coolest thing though. I have done Bikram Yoga about 5 times/week for 3 years.
About a month after I started with the juice my flexibility increased exponentially. I all of a sudden could get into a couple of poses that I simply could not get into before. I then read that beetroot juice has a lot of oxalic acid, which supposedly breaks down calcium deposits in your body. Makes sense to me given my miraculous yoga experienced. I mean, I made years of progress in 4 weeks.
However, the most energy boosting thing I have ever tried is eating 3-4 medium sized beetroots raw first thing in the morning. I don't know what happens but it just gives my an insane rush of energy. Scary actually how powerful that is. But it is really time consuming to chew them down.

As I read the other entries, I see that other people are having problems. On his website, the second protocol calls for specific amounts. I believe it says:
"Separately measured out : 1 cup of beets juiced, 1 cup of fennel juiced, 1 cup of 50/50 carrot/celery.... That's it!!!! Drink down and eat one apple afterward".
Since my first one, I have had not problems. It is so beneficial that it is worth reading my reference site above for additional information to go with both protocols.
In the mean time ... To our health!

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I followed the directions perfectly and within 5 minutes, got hit with horrible nausea. I felt dizzy like I might pass out. Also had a tingeling sensation in my face and head, like a niacin effect. I kept eating my apples and felt things moving in my stomach and the need to poop. So I ran to the potty, with a trash can in my lap (in case I threw up) and kept eating my apple and doing what I thought was a little bit of poop. When I was finished, I saw that the potty was filled! I didn't even realize that was happening! As soon as I finished pooping, the nasea was gone. It all took less than 10 minutes, but I felt like I had just been hit by a truck! Very powerful stuff!
I decided maybe because I only weigh about 120 lbs I should start with less juice. So the next day I only juiced 1/8th a cup of each juice and had no side effects. Today, day 3, I am almost up to 1/4th cup of each juice (1/2 cup total) and still no problems at all. I am still following the protocol perfectly, just with less juice.
One weird thing happened yesterday. I have one, small age spot on my hand. I noticed a white area of skin beside it and began to lightly scratch it. The skin flaked of easily and began bleeding slightly. Today it is healing back and the age spot is gone!
Will post again when I get up to the the full mini-beet protocol juice amount.

I eat one apple (any kind) and one or two carrots after drinking the juices.
Yesterday morning, the second day on the protocol, I woke up to find my abdomen had noticeably flattened out and a lot of the cellulite I had on there had disappeared. I still have some cellulite, but it is not nearly as much...and this was only the second day.
My lupus (muscle pains) and rheumatoid arthritis have slightly improved, too, with the protocol. Over the past few years, I've lost about 140 lbs, but even when I got up to 600 crunches at the gym, my abdomen just would not budge (the fat and cellulite refused to leave). The mini-beet protocol has helped with that and with other symptoms I have. My fingers turn white or blue (supposedly Raynaud's) whenever I get in the shower or wash my hands (fluoridated water). One month, I stayed at a place with a whole house filter (removes fluoride, chlorine, etc). My fingers STOPPED turning colors and getting so cold.
This mini-beet protocol seems to help with fluoride poisoning, too. My weight loss? It started by using progesterone cream and following a gluten free diet. It's amazing how the carb cravings stopped. I do NOT follow any diet (other than avoiding gluten). I pretty much eat whatever I want. I AVOID diet foods, artificial sweeteners, and processed or "fake" foods. I DO eat fat (NON-hydrogenated coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil, usually) - I think this has helped my skin while losing weight. I don't diet, but I make sure I exercise enough to keep my weight down. My heaviest known weight was 313 lbs. I weighed 174 at the doctor office yesterday. I wear a womens size medium. Resistance training helps a lot, too. BTW - I am type 2 diabetic, also. My blood sugars used to run in the 300's. My last reading was 88. I refused to go on insulin (the fat storing hormone that reportedly CAUSES plaquing of the arteries). I didn't see how taking a FAT STORING hormone like insulin would help me to improve when I was still making some insulin of my own. As for the mini-beet protocol, I'll try to make one or two future posts over the next few months on my progress.

We started MBP because I suffered an accident at the doctors office that required plastic surgery! Following, that episode I had a strange rash on my neck and some type of strange bumps on face. I thought perhaps it was an hormonal imbalance, the western medical model doctor suggested birth control pills. I declined. After some research, we decided to try MBP six days a week. After one month I've observed the following: my husband's wrinkle's and crow's feet have decreased dramastically; his hair appears darker to me. his eyes look brighter and whiter. For me my acne and rash are gone; my liver spots are fading; my skin is brighter; my eyes are white and bright; the scar tissues and the swelling from my facial surgery both have decreased rapidly because I can finally see the definition. My surgeon mentioned that following surgery for all the swelling to subside, it might take well over a year, but I'm now seeing a dramatic and rapid healing. It is clearly evident that my face is no longer swollen and is becoming clearly defined! I believe MBP expediated the healing process and decreased scar tissue and the swelling. I will report more information at the two month mark.
