I look up to Dr. Norman Walker a lot and though he has some quirks (don't we all : )) he saw the powerful healing potential of carrots. As the story goes, he was shredding some for patient and notices the juices coming out and accumulating on the cutting board. He knew those juices are what he really wanted and went on to create the Norwalk juice press, which began vegetable juicing as we know it today. Carrots are a profound blessing.
