Juice fasting may be with or without milk and milk products. Milk is a sedative, quieting the liver, heart, and blood vessels. It is anti toxic and it is very good for brain and nerves. Some people do not digest milk and are allergic to it. But this is not the problem of milk, rather their digestive system which can be corrected.
