Questions about Juicing

Hi! I haven't made an introduction yet, but since I had a specific question I thought it might be better to bring it over here. Here's a little background on me.

Because of some health issues, I chose to undertake the Masters Cleanse. I'm currently on day 19 of a 30 day cleanse. I ran into some serious heartburn issues with the lemons and so I'm switching over to a juice diet for tonight and the last 10 days. I got a fantastic juicer from a kind soul on freecycle.com and it works beautifully! Right now, my mouth is rejoicing at a different flavor from the lemonade.

I've been doing research on the raw diet and am still not certain that I want to commit to it 100%. I do know that I want to include more raw food into my diet, probably about 50/50. I'm hoping that there's room here for someone like me.

I also got a dehydrator so I'll be trying lots of neat recipes that I've found.

So...my question is this...with the juicing. I almost feel kind of bad that so much of the actual fruit is being wasted and I don't want to throw it into the garbage. I've been thinking that there are things maybe that I could do with the pulp...drying it and using it as spices or flavorings? Something? I was hoping there would be people here who are experienced with juicing that could give me some recommendations.

Thanks!
