Read The Label!


Some of the newer "super" juices tout their health benefits but have hidden substances used as preservatives that can actually be harmful!

I read the label of a very popular relatively new one and it used citric acid, sodium benzoate and potassium sulfate added as preservatives. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C, E300), sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate may form benzene, a known carcinogen. Professor Peter Piper of the University of Sheffield claims that sodium benzoate by itself can damage and inactivate vital parts of DNA in a cell's mitochondria. "The mitochondria consumes the oxygen to give you energy and if you damage it - as happens in a number of diseased states - then the cell starts to malfunction very seriously. And there is a whole array of diseases that are now being tied to damage to this DNA - Parkinson's and quite a lot of neuro-degenerative diseases, but above all the whole process of aging."

Research published in 2007 for the UK's Foods Standards Agency suggests that sodium benzoate (E211) is linked to hyperactive behaviour and decreased intelligence in children.
On September 6, 2007, the British Food Standards Agency issued revised advice on certain artificial food additives, including sodium benzoate (E211). Professor Jim Stevenson from Southampton University, and author of the report, said: "This has been a major study investigating an important area of research. The results suggest that consumption of certain mixtures of artificial food colours and sodium benzoate preservative are associated with increases in hyperactive behaviour in children.

Read the labels carefully before you eat anything. It's important to know what you're eating especially if you are encountering specific health related issues! Simply avoiding certain additives or ingredients can make big differences in how you feel! Whenever possible eat as organic and natural as possible. Clean Air, Pure Water and Natural, Organic, Whole Food is the nutrition our bodies thrive on.

Each Serving of Beyond Berries Powder Provides:
15 Antioxidant Concentrated Rich Fruits & Berries
83+ Active Enzymes and Full Spectrum Fulvic Mineral Blend
22 Strains of Resilient Living Probiotics
1000’s of naturally occurring phytonutrients

Fruits and berries are among the most nutrient dense foods available. They provide a variety of advantages that go far beyond the scope of basic nutrition and have tremendous benefits throughout the entire human body. Studies have shown that the significant phytonutrient & antioxidant content of these live whole foods has provided profound benefits to people that consume them regularly. These live whole foods each possess particular uniquely effective qualities and contains thousands of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidant compounds, amino acids, enzymes, essential fatty acids, fiber & phytonutrients. Because these fruits and berries are not consumed on a regular basis, most people are not experiencing the extraordinary benefits they provide.

Beyond Berries provides an optimal amount of each fruit and berry in synergistic combination. Most importantly, the majority of the crucial nutrients contained in Beyond Berries are still alive and are very bioavailable. These live nutrients are necessary for optimal assimilation, proper uptake of nutrients to the body and to maximize bioavailability & potential effectiveness. By providing each ingredient in its most natural form, all of the natural plant enzymes and phosolipids necessary for enhanced nutrient absorption are present. Who would have thought that foods so juicy & flavorful could keep you looking young, while dramatically improving your health!

BEYOND BERRIES POWDER IS SUPERIOR TO LIQUID! Due to recent scientific studies showing the incredible antioxidant and health components of specific berries & fruits, the nutritional market is currently being bombarded by liquid "miracle" products. Each company claims to have the "best" product. So what is the difference between Beyond Berries and the liquid products that seem to be everywhere? Beyond Berries Powder is far superior and more powerful than any liquid product. Liquid beverages have many more constraints than powders. A major challenge for liquid supplements is maintaining the small amount of nutritional integrity left in the liquid over time. Beyond Berries retains a higher content of the naturally occurring live nutrients found in the original fresh produce, just as nature intended. As a result Beyond Berries provides more nutritional benefit than any liquid product.

SUPERIOR INGREDIENT QUALITY! Liquid berry products typically contain ingredients from a "juice concentrate" or "puree concentrate". Both are created through the use of heat and/or vacuum. This denatures and compromises the nutritional integrity of the fruit or berry. Additionally, these products may contain as little as 10% of the actual ingredient that the product is being marketed for.

LESS EXPENSE! Liquid products are more expensive, particularly when you compare the nutrient content and serving size to Beyond Berries. One jar of Beyond Berries Powder makes approximately 180 ounces of reconstituted liquid juice, which equals 4-5 jars of any of our competitor's liquid products. The recommended daily serving for Beyond Berries Powder is 10 grams in 6 ounces of water. At this serving size, a jar of Beyond Berries Powder lasts 30-days. Most liquid juice products suggest only 1 ounce of their product per day to create a 30-day supply-that's only ONE OUNCE!

NO PASTEURIZATION! 98% of the liquid nutritional juice products on the market are pasteurized. The pasteurization process uses high heat to kill bacteria & harmful microorganisms that create food borne illness. Pasteurization reduces the very real risk of pathogenic contamination and health threatening bacteria in liquid juice products but while it appears to be a wonderful thing-in reality it is not. This heat process not only kills the bad bacteria, but it substantially alters or deactivates the majority of good, naturally occurring live nutrients that we consume the fruit or berry for in the first place! Don't be fooled by words like "flash pasteurization". Pasteurization is just that, a process that always requires heat at a temperature higher than what the majority of live nutrients and enzymes can withstand. Many companies try to smooth-over the pasteurization process by saying that their product has been "fermented". But, in the end, after the fermentation process, pasteurization still must occur.

NO PRESERVATIVES! Many liquid products contain preservatives such as sodium benzoate and/or potassium sorbate. Without preservatives these liquid products could grow bacteria, naturally decompose and become rancid. While preservatives help prolong the shelf life of a liquid product, they are also known to cause a myriad of "mysterious" health problems. The FDA considers these preservatives "safe" in small amounts, yet anything more than a "small amount" is considered "unsafe & unhealthy". Because the majority of the processed foods we eat contain these same preservatives, it is not "safe" to say that we are getting "small amounts" when you take into account that fact we are consuming these same preservatives on a daily basis throughout our entire lives. Another commonly used preservative is Ascorbic Acid.

Many companies use Ascorbic Acid in their liquid juice supplement for several reasons;
To artificially and inexpensively increase ORAC values and Vitamin C label claims
To preserve the product.
And to try and compensate for the loss of nutrients due to pasteurization. This concept is known as "overdosing". Ascorbic acid is a synthetic, man-made version of vitamin C, and is a poor substitute for vitamin C from natural whole food sources. The addition of artificial preservatives and/or synthetic nutrients defeats the purpose of consuming an "all natural health product" in the first place. Our modern diet is already filled with depleted, over-processed foods.

URI International, believes that a natural food product should be just that - natural. Beyond Berries contains all natural, non-pasteurized berry & fruit powders with no preservatives or synthetic additives.

PROPRIETARY PROCESS! Our proprietary drying process provides much higher concentrations of vital nutrients than any other product on the market. Other companies often just dry whole foods, but we juice them and dry the juice in seconds at temperatures below 100ºF, concentrating it far more than if we merely dried the entire plant and leaves as most other companies do. This process ensures that you get the highest quality product without any extra fillers, preservatives or pasteurization while retaining vital nutrients and live enzymes. The end result - Beyond Berries is packed with all of the naturally occurring phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

For optimal health, there's nothing better than nutrient-rich, unprocessed, unpreserved whole live foods in their balanced, natural state like those found in Beyond Berries Powder. URI understands that in order to provide these remarkable benefits, all of the nutrients, natural balance and life force found in these fresh fruits & berries must be protected. The process used to create Beyond Berries retains the majority of the vital live nutrients of our ingredients in their natural synergistic state.

Beyond Berries Powder provides a quality & quantity that will never be matched by a synthetic, processed or preserved liquid supplement. Beyond Berries contains 100% pure, natural whole fruit & berry, powders and is a true Whole Food based product that provides superb nutrition. URI International refuses to compromise and has spared no expense to combine the perfect combination of quality berries & fruits even though many of them are unique and rare. Beyond Berries is a convenient, delicious way to drink your way to higher nutrition levels. URI has raised the bar and produced a perfectly blended, synergistic product that is truly one of a kind, a first in its class- Beyond Berries.

The basic functions of breathing, eating and drinking are not only essential for our existence, but are necessary for the body's ongoing job of producing energy and rebuilding cells. However, these life-giving actions come at a price. Each day we are bombarded with free radicals in the air we breathe, food we eat and the water we drink. The body also naturally produces free radicals from the act of living and producing energy. Free radicals cause oxidative damage to our body, organs & cells. A damaged cell loses or decreases in its ability to perform its specific function. This causes many different health concerns and is directly linked to the actual aging process itself. Fresh fruits & berries contain a wide variety of antioxidants, each performing a specific function of neutralizing, repairing, reducing or preventing further free radical damage to cells & tissues. Beyond Berries provides the perfect combination of the missing nutrients that are necessary to help provide antioxidant protection.

WHAT IS ORAC? ORAC has become the latest "buzz" word in the nutritional industry. ORAC is an abbreviation for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity - a method of measuring the overall antioxidant activity of the particular ingredient, food or product being tested. The higher the ORAC value, the more antioxidant power. The ORAC test was developed once scientists became aware that phytonutrients such as antioxidants found in fruits & berries have such powerful health benefits. In fact berries were found to be the highest on the ORAC scale! The greatest protection is provided when a variety of foods high in these nutrients are combined, like those found in Beyond Berries. An intake of 3,000-5,000 ORAC units per day is recommended. Because most people are already getting a portion of this value from their diet, research suggests supplementing the diet by at least 1000-2500 ORAC units per day. Beyond Berries Powder boasts an amazing ORAC value of 2,460 per daily minimum suggested use! Beyond Berries ORAC value is naturally occurring and is not artificially increased through the addition of isolated or synthetic additives. Beyond Berries is available in Powder, Vegetarian Capsules or convenient Packets.

Benefits of Juicing

I have been an avid proponent of juicing for over 30 years! I remember watching Jack LaLanne on TV with my Mom. I have never cared much for all of the inconvenience, expense, time and money involved in juicing fresh organic produce but the benefits are enormous! I'm glad I found a way to get my juice now with no muss or fuss and for less than if I bought it daily at the store. More on that later though. Back to the why's of juicing.

WHY JUICE?

Recently. the National Cancer Institute began a campaign to get people to do one simple thing - EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. Specifically, the recommendation was to eat five servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables a day, and their reasoning was simple: a diet high in fruits and vegetables may help prevent or even cure a wide range of ailments.

Breast cancer, cancer of the colon, esophagus, stomach, lungs, ovaries, and rectum - pick and ailment these days, it seems, and researchers somewhere are searching for chemicals in plants that will prevent them, or offer a cure. These plant chemicals, known as phytochemicals, are the cutting edge of nutritional research because they hold the keys to preventing some of our most deadly diseases, such as cancer and heart disease, as well as some of our most common, like asthma, arthritis, and allergies.

In some ways, this isn't news. For years, epidemiological studies that compare disease states and diet in large populations of people have already been bearing out the value of a diet high in fruits and vegetables. Such studies, which have been done in Africa, China, the Mediterranean, Russia, and elsewhere have shown that in cultures where the diet consists of fruits and vegetables, making it high in both carbohydrates and fiber, a number of diseases that afflict North Americans simply don't exist. For example, during more than 30 years of study, British researchers working in Africa didn't find a single case of such common ailments as diverticulitis, hernia, cancer of the colon, or cancer of the prostate. The only reason that they could attribute to the lack of these diseases: differences in diet.

But these studies (more than 150 have been done in the last decade) don't really prove that it is diet that makes the health difference There are simply too many other factors that may influence health to make the studies conclusive. Is, for example, the lack of disease because of the subjects diet or, instead, is it because they live in a relatively unpolluted environment? If it is diet, which part of their diet, specifically, is making the difference?

These are the questions that led researchers at the National Cancer Institute, at the department of Agriculture, and elsewhere, to begin looking for specific substances in foods that could be providing protection against disease. In the process, they have found quite a few. A tomato, along with vitamin C, vitamin A, and several minerals, also has 10,000 other chemicals in it, most which researchers are trying to isolate, identify, and study.

The phytochemicals that researchers have uncovered are changing the way we think about food. Citrus fruits have substances that make it easier for your body to remove carcinogens, thus decreasing the chance of contracting cancer. Grapes contain a phytochemical that appears to protect each cells' DNA from damage. Similarly, a number of green vegetables contain phytochemicals that appear to offer protection against cancer-causing substances. Bok choy, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, collards, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, rutabaga, turnip greens, red beets, peppers, garlic, onions, leeks, and chives are but a few of the vegetables that appear to have cancer-preventing phytochemicals.

The problem, though, is that most of us don't eat enough fruits and vegetables to reap the benefits they offer. For example, although the National Cancer institute recommends five servings of vegetables and three of fruits each day, the truth is this: The average American eats only 1 1/2 servings of vegetables and, on average, no fruit on any given day.
Maybe the business men and women who frequent trendy juice bars, the company that delivers carrot juice, and the grocery stores that are beginning to carry fresh fruits and vegetable juices are on to something. Possibly, juicing could provide the answer to fixing our fruit and vegetable deficient diets.

Really, it isn't a new idea. If you study the traditions of most juicing programs, you discover that the vegetables being studied at various facilities around the country are often the same vegetables that have been juiced for years. Collard greens, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, rutabaga, peppers, carrots, and cabbage are not only vegetables being studied for their phytochemical content, they are also the vegetables that are most commonly juiced. Not only are researchers looking into the cancer-prevention capabilities of citrus fruits, grapes, and apples, these are also the fruits that we most often associate with fruit juicing.

All of this raises the question, what else is there in the wisdom of juice therapy that, up until now, have traditional nutritional research overlooked or ignored? For example, juice programs often tout the value of adding chlorophyll to your daily diet. Chlorophyll, a substance found exclusively in plants, has a structure similar to hemoglobin, the substance in blood that is responsible for transporting oxygen. During the 1940s, researchers found that consuming chlorophyll enhances the body's ability to produce hemoglobin, thus improving the efficiency of oxygen transport.

Or, for another example, consider fresh juice's ability to deliver another important group of nutrients, known as enzymes. Enzymes are your body's work force. Acting as catalysts in hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that take place throughout the body, enzymes are essential for digestion and absorption of food, for conversion of food stuffs into body tissue, and for the production of energy at the cellular level. In fact, enzymes are critical for most of the metabolic activities taking place in your body every second of every day.

Fresh juices are a tremendous source of enzymes. In fact, the "freshness" of juice is one of their key features, because enzymes are destroyed by heat. When you eat cooked foods, whether its meal, grains, fruits, or vegetables, if the food is cooked at temperatures above 114 degrees, the enzymes have been destroyed by the heat. Since fruits and vegetables are juiced raw, the enzymes are still viable when you drink the juice. Coincidentally, many of the phytochemicals that nutritional researchers are focusing their attention on are either enzymes, or more often, they are substances that help build or activate enzymes that play essential roles in protecting cells from damage.

Also, fruit and vegetable juices are good sources of the traditional nutrients. Citrus fruits (grapefruit, oranges, etc.) provide healthy portions of vitamin C. Carrot juice contains large quantities of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene. A number of green juices are a good source of vitamin E. Fruit juices are a good source of essential minerals like iron, copper, potassium, sodium, iodine, and magnesium, which are bound by the plant in a form that is most easily assimilated during digestion.

Plus, since juicing removes the indigestible fiber, these nutrients are available to the body in much larger quantities than if the piece of fruit or vegetable was eaten whole. For example, because many of the nutrients are trapped in the fiber, when you eat a raw carrot, you are only able to assimilate about 1% of the available beta carotene. When a carrot is juiced, removing the fiber, nearly 100% of the beta carotene can be assimilated.

Finally, fruits and vegetables provide one more substance that is absolutely essential for good health - water. More than 65% of most of the cells in the human body are made of water, and in some tissues, for example the brain, the cells can be made up of as much as 80% water. Water is absolutely essential for good health, yet most people don't consume enough water each day. Plus, many of the fluids we do drink, coffee, tea, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and artificially flavored drinks each contain substances that require extra water for your body to eliminate. Fruit and vegetable juices are free of these unneeded substances and are full of pure, clean water.

As more and more is written about the long-term health benefits of consuming more fresh organic fruits and vegetables the popularity of juicing will continue to grow.

I started juicing with a “Vitamix” in the 70’s and went to a “Juiceman in the 90’s and love juicing’s benefits. Recently I found an incredible ready to mix "Instafresh" juice concentrate that has 30 fruits and berries, 30 super greens and vegetables, 11 nuts, seeds and sprouts all in an easy to mix, delicious, organic concentrate that has 83 Active Enzymes and Minerals and 22 Resilient Living Probiotics. It's absolutely the best raw whole food supplement on the market today. Great for people on the go! And all for just $1 per serving! Now that's juicing for the new millennium! Just read the label and get a sample like I did at Http://www.urilife.com/realfoodforlife/products.html I think you’ll love it! And yes, I still make a fresh carrot, apple, parsley juice cocktail in my home juicer and I freeze the carrot and apple pulp for fresh carrot cake!

Grace and Peace,

Then they combine them into easy-to-mix, great tasting, concentrated powdered drink mixes. This unique process helps maintain the nutritional integrity of the vital living nutrients and live enzymes intact.

There are NO synthetic vitamins, inorganic minerals, and no pasteurization or preservatives. All natural! URI's products are so incredible that you really have to experience them yourself! With today's fast paced lifestyles most people are eating so few fresh fruits and vegetables, and consuming mostly cooked and processed food, they are NOT getting the "LIFE" in and from their foods. They are simply just not eating the healthy diets that their bodies were intended to have.

The name 'URI' in Hebrew means, "Light". And light is what puts true "LIFE" in our foods, and ultimately, in our bodies. URI's live whole food based InstaFreshTM Juice powders "UnLeash the Life Within!"URI International has many outstanding products. Their 3 Core Products are: The Feast, The Feast SuperCharged and Beyond Berries.

The FEAST is URI's Flagship Product. It is a GREAT TASTING, power packed, nutrient dense, LIVE Whole Food Based InstaFreshTM Juice Powder Drink Mix. The Feast contains a FULL Synergistic Spectrum of fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts, minerals, enzymes and probiotics. For health conscious people seeking the best in cutting edge nutritional products -- the Feast is it.
30 Antioxidant Rich Fruits & Berries
30 Powerful Greens & Vegetables
11 Nutrient Dense Seeds, Nuts & Sprouts
83+ Active Enzymes & Fulvic Minerals
22 Strains of Resilient Living Probiotics

THE FEAST SuperCharged is the same blend of superior ingredients as The Feast with the addition of 6 naturally caffeinated Berries, Seeds & Leaves. It is an "all-natural" superior alternative and a much healthier replacement for coffee, tea and sugar or, high fructose corn syrup laden or artificially sweetened sodas and energy drinks.

BEYOND BERRIES is a supreme blend of 15 of the most nutrient dense and antioxidant rich fruits and berries from around the world. Plus the same fulvic mineral, enzyme and living resilient probiotics blend that is in the FEAST! Each serving of Beyond Berries provides more antioxidant rich fresh fruit and berry concentrates per serving than any other fruit or berry supplement on the market.

Tasting Samples:Try each one by itself. Mix a packet in 4-6 oz. of cold water. Most people like to add a few ice cubes and we highly recommend using our unique shaker cup as that gets the best results. Most people think "The Feast" and Beyond Berries simply TASTE GREAT by themselves!. And kids REALLY love them. The SuperCharged Feast has some green tea, green coffee bean, and stimulating herbs like guarana (that contain a mild amount of naturally occurring caffeine), and it is not as naturally sweet tasting as The Feast.If needed, you can add the Beyond Berries or The Feast to the SuperCharged to give it a fruitier and sweeter taste. Or simply add the SuperCharged or any of the powdered mixes to your favorite juice, smoothie, yogurt, etc.

If for any reason you do not like the taste, or you just want the ultimate in convenience, all 3 varieties are available in vegetarian capsules. There are a lot of "Green Drinks and Whole Food Formulas" on the market. But our opinion customers have discovered that "The Feast" is the best tasting and most nutrient dense Green Whole Food based Drink on the market. And when you look at the proprietary low temp InstaFreshTM processing, the quality of ingredients, the variety and quantity of the live whole food and fresh raw juice based powder concentrates in the Feast, you will be amazed that URI International has been able to create something so nutritious, taste so great, and offer it at such a low price!

Organic Vitamins vs Synthetic Vitamins


Is there a difference? Today many respectable people insist that synthetic and natural vitamins have identical molecular and chemical structure. Thus, they insist that synthetic vitamins are just as effective as natural vitamins.

When I talk about natural, organic or whole food supplements, I'm speaking of products that contain the total complex family of micro-nutrients (known and unknown) just as they are found in nature, alive! These micro-nutrients, pro-biotics, live enzymes are indispensable for proper vitamin absorption and maximum utilization. That's the only way you can have optimum nutrition. Synthetic vitamins lack this wonderfully marvelous supporting family.

According to http://www.nutriteam.com/natural.htm , "the difference between synthetic and natural vitamins becomes apparent when viewing their response to a beam of polarized light. The light when passing through a natural vitamin will always bend to the right due to it's molecular rotation. Thus the letter "d" (representing "dextro" which means "right") often appears on labels. However, the same light ray when passing through a synthetic vitamin will split into two parts, one part bending to the right and the other to the left. Because the synthetic vitamin is half "dextro" (right) and half "levo" (left), the letters "dl" often appear on labels at the beginning of the synthetic name.

A synthetic vitamin is like the image in a mirror. It looks like the real thing but doesn't function like the real thing. Half of it will work in the body and the other half won't work as well. Dr. Charles Schneider, Ph.D., professor of Chemistry, University of Cincinnati concluded wisely, "Get the vitamins that say natural. There is a difference. The "dl" (synthetic) will be cheaper, but if you could figure it out per energy unit or per use, the natural one will be cheaper."

Can you afford $1 a day? That's right....each serving of "THE FEAST" is about $1. For a dollar you get the best live whole food product on the planet that delivers a full, synergistic spectrum of:

30 Antioxidant Rich Fruits & Berries

30 Powerful Greens & Vegetables

11 Nutrient Dense Seeds, Nuts & Sprouts

83+ Active Enzymes & Fulvic Minerals

22 Strains of Resilient Living Probiotics

The Feast is the only product on the market that provides a synergistic, all natural, nutritionally balanced, combination of Nature’s most beneficial whole food concentrates, including minerals, enzymes, and probiotics. The Feast is a convenient all-in-one concentrated whole food supplement for today’s active and demanding lifestyles! Feed your body the feast it deserves! The Feast is the one and only concentrated, whole food supplement on the planet that delivers a full, synergistic spectrum of over 176 natural ingredients!

The Feast:

Does not contain isolated, synthetic or inorganic vitamins and minerals.

Dried at temperatures below 100°F. Fresh live whole foods to powder concentrate in seconds.

Non-pasteurized. Preservative free.

More variety, quality and quantity than any other concentrated wholefood supplement.

Nutritious and Delicious! Tastes great!

The most powerful, nutrient dense nutritional product on the market today!

Each serving contains naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidant compounds, amino acids, enzymes, essential fatty acids, fiber & phytonutrients.

The Feast provides a quality, quantity and variety of ingredients that is superior to synthetic, pasteurized or preserved liquid and pill/tablet supplements.

Our alternative is to eat freshly picked, organic foods, grown in soil that has been re-mineralized, then served raw or slightly cooked, in a way that is as close to their natural form as possible. You would also need to eat whole grain breads/pastas made from flour ground fresh daily. However, few of us can spend our entire day hunting, gathering, and carefully preparing our food!

Juice Fasting


What is Juice Fasting?
Juice fasting is a form of detoxification diet where only fruit and vegetable juices are consumed for a certain period of time. Usually, A person will embark on a juice fast for 1 to 7 days. The purpose of juice fasting is to help the body eliminate toxins and to help with weight control. Every second of every day your body is bombarded with toxins. There are toxins in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we consume. There are toxins in the products we use to clean our homes, the clothes we wear, and even in the products we use to shower or bathe.

It is believed that environmental toxins accumulate in the body's eliminative glands and organs. Therefore, there are different types of juice fasting programs that target areas such as the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, skin, brain, immune system, etc.

Juice fasting is also used for spiritual purposes. Many people use juice fasting as an aide in eliminating unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, or caffeine addiction. Some people use juice fasting as an alternative health regime. Oftentimes, juice fasting is incorporated with other healing modalities to help combat health problems such as depression, arthritis, chronic pain, autoimmune disease, heart disease, and cancer.

The traditional way to embark on a juice fast requires a juicing machine or "juicer". There are many types of juicers available including manual, battery operated, and electrical. They range in price from $30 to $300 or more.

Also, It is recommended to use only organic fruits and vegetables when juice fasting. Unfortunately, most commercially grown fruits and vegetables contain numerous herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. Therefore, it's crucial to purchase organic fruits and vegetables because the whole point of fasting to eliminate toxins, not put more into the body.

An alternative to the above is to use a product like "THE FEAST". It includes the best combination of Fruits, Berries, Greens, Nuts, Seeds and Sprouts in a convenient all-in-one live concentrated whole food "Instafresh Juice". It is non-pasteurized and preservative free. It also is more affordable, more convenient and provides a wider variety of fresh, live whole produce than can be gotten or even grown locally!

Juice fasting is not for everyone, so it's important to consult with a qualified health professional before embarking on a juice fast. Women who are pregnant or nursing should avoid juice fasting altogether. People with chronic health problems such as diabetes, asthma, low blood sugar
or kidney disease, cancer, colitis, or epilepsy should also avoid juice fasting unless under strict supervision from a qualified health professional.

Juice fasting can interfere with prescription drugs. It is crucial for anyone who is taking prescription medications to consult with a skilled professional to determine if juice fasting is appropriate. Grapefruit juice and pomegranate juice should never be used during a fast when a
person is taking prescription medications because they can increase the effect of drugs in the body. Also acidic fruits like orange and lemon should not be used when juice fasting as they have too much acid and can cause problems with indigestion or worse.

Common side effects of juice fasting include headaches, fatigue, constipation, acne, increased body odor and bad breath. Typically, these side effects are temporary and will disappear once juice fasting is completed.

Not only does juice fasting help eliminate toxic waste from the body, it also provides an abundant supply of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. When juicing whole, fresh fruits and vegetables, you are providing your body with a living fuel that requires no digestive energy. In turn, this gives the body a break and allows it to focus on healing and rejuvenation.

The most important thing to remember is that you should always use fresh organic
fruits and vegetables. Commercially grown produce contains high levels of toxins including herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. If you use commercially grown fruits and vegetables for juice fasting, you are defeating the purpose as you will only be adding more toxins to the body.

While most skins of organically grown fruits and vegetables may be left on, you should remove the skins from pineapples, oranges, papaya, melons, and kiwi fruit. Certain parts of fruits and vegetables should not be juiced including the pits in fruits such as apricots, peaches and cherries. Additionally, citrus peels, apple seeds, tops of root vegetables such as carrots or rhubarb, or
the tough outer skin of bananas, plantains, and avocados should not be juiced.

The best ingredients for a juice fast include: apples, beets, cranberries, carrots, celery, cabbage, kale, pineapple, spinach, and leafy green vegetables. Other common fruits and vegetables used in juice fasting include cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. Root vegetables such as sweet potatoes and yams. Greens such as parsley, kale, chard and dandelion leaf. Herbs such as ginger and wheatgrass. All of which and more are included in "THE FEAST".

Individuals who consume high levels of caffeine are likely to experience severe headaches when embarking on a juice fast. Therefore, it is recommended to gradually decrease caffeine consumption one to two weeks prior to starting a juice fast or use "The Feast Supercharged" which incorporates Guarana, Green Tea Extract, Green Coffee Bean and DMAE.

Oftentimes people who embark on a juice fast will experience skin outbreaks. This is because the skin is the most effective way for the body to eliminate toxins. Typically, these side effects are temporary and will disappear once juice fasting is completed and can also be reduced by "Dry Buffing" the skin daily with a loofah.

The Energetic Jay, "The Juiceman" Kordich tells us about the important health benefits of juicing. He should know. He reportedly cured himself of bladder cancer using an all-juice diet.
Not only did Kordich introduce the American public to juicing through his infomercials, he went on to write "The Juiceman's Power of Juicing", which became number one on the New York Times Best Sellers list with more than two millions copies sold.

The type of juice fast you embark on will depend on what you are trying to achieve. It's a good idea to conduct research via the Internet or visit your local library and check out books on the subject.

URI International FAQ's


Q
How much of each ingredient is in the Feast or Beyond Berries?
A
All our Uri formulas and blends are proprietary so we do not list amounts of individual ingredients. However the ingredients are listed in the order of quantity (from largest to smallest). Our focus is on the quality, variety and total amount of whole food ingredients in our products. However, the very best thing to do is simply sample or order our products risk free. They speak for themselves.
Q
How do I access the ingredient list for each product on your website?
A
Ingredient information can be found in the products section for each specific product.
Q
Are the 4700 acres of URI’s farms in Utah certified organic?
A
Yes they are. Many of the ingredients in the Feast are certified organic. They are noted by the asterisk (*) on the label.
Q
How long is the shelf life for the Feast and Beyond Berries?
A
The standard shelf life is 2 years, although they are shelf stable beyond that. Each bottle has an expiration date and a batch number.
Q
How long has the product been stored before shipping to distributors?
A
Average is less than 30-40 days.
Q
Are any of the ingredients gathered in the wild?
A
Klamath Lake algae is wild crafted and certified organic.
Q
I understand the drying temperatures vary from 60 to 100 degrees. Why the differences?
A
Our proprietary drying process takes newly harvested, fresh-pressed 34 °F liquid juice to powder within 30 seconds. During this process, the product temperature averages 65 °F. And it never exceeds 100°F which makes it much more stable. This is considered unheard of in the drying industry. It is 85% dry in 14 seconds when the temperature reaches 98°F, and therefore has less exposure to deterioration and degradation of nutrients. All of this is accomplished within hours of harvest.
Q
Doesn’t a temperature of 100°F negatively affect the live enzymes and nutrients?
A
The temperature of our products does not get above 65 degrees until it is 80% dry. Therefore the nutritional compositions are more stabilized and are not as susceptible to heat factors. This results in little degradation of nutritional content. As a low-moisture dry powder, they are very shelf stable. Unlike typical drying processes used in the nutritional supplement industry, the proprietary URI International drying process maintains, rather than compromises, the naturally occurring nutritional content in whole foods. Our unique and proprietary process preserves the nutritional integrity and life force of the fresh produce being dried, which is essential to health and well being.
Q
How is the Feast and Beyond Berries better than the Juice Plus products?
A
Our products provide higher quantity, variety and quality of ingredients at a better value. Better yet, our products DO NOT contain added isolated or synthetic vitamins or minerals. Our consumers will get 5 to 10 times more whole food nutritional compositions and value from URI products as compared to Juice Plus.
Q
Will your nutritional products interact with any of the medications that my doctor has prescribed for me?
A
URI International’s nutritional products are dietary supplements only, and are not intended to replace any treatment prescribed by a qualified health care provider. As such, any time you are considering the use of a dietary supplement with an OTC or prescription drug, we suggest you consult with your nutritionally wise health care provider before doing so.
Q
Can you tell me which products to take for a particular illness?
A
Our products are nutritional supplements, not drugs. They are not represented or to be used as a treatment or cure for any disease. They are designed to help promote good health. Health and medical questions should be directed to your healthcare professional. Information provided by URI International is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from your physician and/or other healthcare professional. You should not use this information for diagnosis or treatment of any medical conditions or as a prescription for the treatment of any disease or illness.

Super Foods


The term "Super Foods" is used to describe certain foods that have high quantities of important nutrients that the body needs to function at peak performance and also to support optimum aging. Some of these "Super Foods" have qualities found in no other source. Some can help cure disease or ease the effects of stress and aging.

Look at some of the recent headlines:
Experts say dozens of easy-to-find 'superfoods' can help ward off heart disease, cancer, cholesterol, and more.
By Susan Seliger WebMD Feature
Ten Superfoods for Age-Defying Beauty The benefits from eating healthy are endless. And, according to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, some foods can be eaten to help you look and age better!
Try including some of the following "super foods" into your diet. Each food contains vitamins, nutrients and/or minerals that are believed to contain special properties for health, disease prevention and/or longevity.
Excerpt from The Nibble - Definition of a Superfood
There is no government definition, but a superfood is a natural food source that is highly concentrated with a complex supply of quality nutrients. The açaí berry is considered a superfood because of its extremely high level of anthocyanins (an antioxidant), vitamins A and C and omega 6 and 9 essential fatty acids, fiber and amino acids. Others include blueberries, coffee berries, raw cacao, goji berries, green tea and pomegranate. According to a 2007 report from Datamonitor, “Superfood & Drinks: Consumer Attitudes to Nutrient Rich Products,” the superfood food and beverage market is expected to double by 2011 as consumers are paying more attention to diet and nutrition and increasingly seeking food and drinks with additional health-promoting benefits.
The United States government is banning the use of the word superfood in marketing as of 2010. While this seems to be an issue of semantics to me it is important to realize that God put certain plants, seeds, berries and other real food products on our planet to help with both preventing and curing disease. Inert, synthetic "supplements" can never be expected to produce the same effect as organically grown, raw, live whole foods. By varying the use of these "Super Foods" we can enjoy a "Super Diet" of different rich colored live food products such as:
Purple Grape
Noni Fruit
Mangosteen
Goji
Acai
Blueberry
Pomagranate
Bilberry
Barley Grass
Alfalfa
Spinach
Beet
Blue green Algae
Spirulina
Broccoli
Garlic
Cayenne
Flax Seed
Oat Bran
Wheat Sprouts
Aloe Vera
Include some of these "Super Foods" in your daily diet to be sure that you are getting nature's full support for your body. An easy way to be sure that you are getting the powerful benefits of these nutrient dense foods daily is by enjoying a Uri "Feast". The Feast is the only product on the market that provides a synergistic, all natural, nutritionally balanced combination of Nature's most beneficial whole food concentrates, including minerals, enzymes and probiotics.
The Feast is a convient all-in-one concentrated whole food supplement that delivers a full, synergistic spectrum of over 176 natural ingredients including all of the "Super Foods" listed above. Each serving contains naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxident compounds, amino acids, enzymes, essential fatty acids, fiber and phytonutrients.
