The Healing Properties of Juice

[Guest guest]

I juice and I swear by it!

If anyone ever has the chance to purchase a juicer....DO IT! It will be one of

the most important things you can do to take GOOD care of your entire body. It

can litterally change your life. The very first time I tried a juiced drink, I

had no idea what was about to happen to me...how it would change my outlook on

juicing as I was a skeptic and totally unaware of the benifits. I was coming

down with something that felt 'flu-like'. A friend juiced me a miracle drink.

 

It consisted of: A quarter of a beet, 2 celery sticks, 4 carrots, 2 apples, half

a cuccumber and a handful of parsley.

 

Almost immediately, ALL of my syptoms dissappeard and I had energy like I hadn't

had for a very long time. I was actually quite wired...LOL! Since then, I'm

happy to say that we have our own juicer and to this day I still make that same

drink. It's a hit with my husband when he needs a pick me up for work...not to

mention, he's really bad about eating fruits and vegies. Another energy drink is

just carrots and apples. For me, just the apples alone get me energized. This is

a great way to get anyone, kids and adults alike to get the nutrition they lack.

Juicing is a part of our daily lifestyle now. I strongly urge everyone to juice!

I have the Green Star from 2-Life Health Products and it is pretty easy to clean

and put together - and they give discounts on purchases - you can call their 800

# to ask questions and place order. I have been pretty satisfied.

From The Juice Ladys Guide to Juicing for Health by Cherie Calbom, MS (This

book is a must have for juicers.)

 

Kidney Tonic:

1 organic cucumber

8 asparagus stems

5 medium carrots

1/2 small beet w/ leaves and stems

1/2 small/medium organic lemon

 

The book goes into some detail about kidney cleansing as well.

 

Hope that helps you some

I have an omega 8005 and it works just fine but organic vegtables are EXPENSIVE.

I have heard from many sources that the greenstar extracts more juice. Does

anyone

have an opinion about this and does anyone at all know anything about the

norwalk?

They are really expensive, is it worth the price? You can sometimes find them on

e-bay

used. Dave

[Guest guest]

My accupuncturist recommends the norwalk, but is it worth the price

difference - not to me. Perhaps

if you can find a deal on ebay- I've not seen one recently. I love my Omega

8003 altho the peanut butter it makes

can't compare to what I get with my Champion- however the difference in the

cleanup makes me suffer with the Omega PB.

Hello,

 

I just acquired a Green Star last month from 2-Life Health Products on the

internet, and it does indeed extract more juice - the residue is 'bone dry' -

but as you say, organic produce is very EXPENSIVE, and I find that with my

limited income I will have to forgo purchase of all organic and will have to be

selective. There is an outstanding difference in taste of organic produce

versus regular produce that is sprayed and fertilized with undesirable

ingredients. I understand that local farmers often have the next best thing to

organic, as they do not often use harmful fertiilizers and such. Buying fruits

and vegetables in season helps with the cost factor. Incidentally, I purchased

the top Green Star model for $370 with no tax or shipping and handling fees.

When you go to the site, you are offered a discount. If I purchased the same

model in a regular store, I would have had to pay around $515 plus tax. Always

do a little research before purchase - it pays in the

long run.

Hi Mary! Could you tell me the exact model that you purchased for $370?

Was that the Gold power(GP-E1530) or the 3000? They are asking $419 for

the Gold model in that website... this is after the email coupon!

I believe that to be true about the VitaMixer as well, but you hear so much hype

about it. I am using the Omega 8003. I know it may not be the best, but $200

is all I can do for now since I am investing in all areas of improving my

health.

How does being too fast kill enzymes? If you are talking about heat, it

does not heat the juice over 115-118 degrees, which are the temps that

enzymes are killed.

 

I have a lot of clients that use this juicer with great results.

Hello, Group !

 

I am only a lurker, but this juicing issue is interesting and I have a

question.

 

There have been some posts regarding which juicer is the best, and I think

that mainly entails easy to clean and efficiency (driest pulp). But since

the whole point of juicing is to get the nutrition from the veggies and

fruit juiced, Donna's point about getting a juicer that doesn't harm the

enzymes leads me to ask a question others have already asked: What juicer

is best for accomplishing the " big 3 " : maintaining the vitality of the

nutrients, juicing most efficiently (leaving pulp dry), and clean-up ?

 

Thanks !

I don't know the correct answer about which is the best juicer, but it could be

the Green Star - the seemingly most expensive one because it juices slowly with

twin gears and has the driest pulp - so no heat production while juicing and

more juice.

I see juicing more as a way to obtain concentrated forms of natural

vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and other, as of yet " discovered " ,

substances into my diet to compensate for the lack of it in the food

supply and to meet over demand for these nutrients as a result of the

stressful effects of a polluted environment and a life style that is so

alienated from the natural cycles of rest and activity.

 

I think that it is best to have two types of juicer; one to process

fruits like apples and vegetables like carrots and the other to juice

grass and leafy greens like kale, parsley. Soft fruits like berries

should probably be eaten whole. As far as heating of the juice during

extraction, that is not really a factor in a centrifugal juicer as

others have claimed here, that's just marketing BS by the competition.

Food enzyme destruction is not caused by high speed but rather by high

heart (above 112 to 118F). However, there is the issue of oxidation of

essential fatty acids caused by the rapid mixing of oxygen and juice as

it is pushed through the large spinning mesh in a typical centrifugal

juicer. I suppose that if juicing were my only source of food I would be

worried about that, but I get my essential fatty acids from fish

oils(cod liver in the winter). Generally, I think it is not practical

to depend solely on raw foods simply because you fear depleting your

enzyme reserve.

 

These days you can get food enzymes supplements that are excellent and

even the founder of the food enzyme connection, Dr. Howell, advocated

the use of these supplements as a practical means of compensating for

its destruction during cooking. Oh, one last thing about juicing, you

really should drink the juice immediately after extraction, the live

enzymes and oxygen will begin to do their thing and the taste and color

will change rather quickly. If you must store it, I would add ice and a

little vitamin C and keep it in a filled-to-the-top, air tight jar in

the refrigerator for no more than a day!

Just a tidbit Gerson used the Champion juicer because he claimed that

centrifugal juicers put a negative spin on the juice. Since he was

wildly successful in his treatment, his opinion is worth considering.

Due to the low rpm of single auger and/or twin gear press juicers,

the oxidation that occurs while juicing is minimized (this maximizes

the nutritional value in the juice).

It is the oxidation that results with faster rpm juicers.

 

>>>I have a lot of clients that use this juicer with great results.<<<

 

ANY juicer is better than no juicer. I have many friends who have the

faster juicers. My point is...if you want " maximum " nutritional

value - one should opt for lower rpms.

I don't recall anyone saying that it was the heating.

It does kill enzymes - and although I am sure for many people this

does not play into their decision.

For me, I wanted the juicer that fit a few things: could juice

quality juices, was easy to clean, and didn't cost me a fortune to

purchase. The Omega 8003 and 8005 are (IN MY OPINION) a great buy

because I get quality juice, it is REAL easy to clean, and I didn't

go broke buying it. I have a friend who uses the Green Star and she

loves it. I also have a friend who loves his centrifugal - I suppose

it comes down to personal choices.

I agree - no one should believe all they read. There is a great deal

of marketing BS out there. I would encourage anyone to look it up and

see who the articles are written by and how they might be biased -

one way or the other.

 

>>>[oxidation] I suppose that if juicing were my only source of food

I would be worried about that, but I get my essential fatty acids

from fish oils(cod liver in the winter). <<<

 

One of the reasons that also could be mentioned is that oxidation

changes the taste as well.

However, I am a firm believer that if you drink or eat it for 3

weeks - you can acquire the taste for any food you want to consume.

 

>>>Generally, I think it is not practical to depend solely on raw

foods simply because you fear depleting your enzyme reserve.<<<

 

Many raw foodists eat raw foods because they want to be healthy (as

opposed to their fear of losing enzymes). Paying attention and

education (as opposed to fear motivated) on enzymes is just par-for-

course when trying to educate oneself on nutrition.

 

>>>These days you can get food enzymes supplements that are excellent

and even the founder of the food enzyme connection, Dr. Howell,

advocated the use of these supplements as a practical means of

compensating for its destruction during cooking.<<<

 

You mentioned earlier not to listen to marketing BS. This is

clearly a biased opinion - even if it is correct. Dr. Howell (and/or

family and associates) sell supplements - how is that not biased

marketing BS?

 

>>>Oh, one last thing about juicing, you really should drink the

juice immediately after extraction, the live enzymes and oxygen will

begin to do their thing and the taste and color will change rather

I totally agree with you here.

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Donna. I have heard before about oxidation concerns with juicers

but I believe that the difference is probably very minimal and could

possibly be a marketing tactic created by the manufacturers. If they have

done studies that measured the nutrients in the juices from the various

juicers, then they would have to make sure that each individual fruit or

vegetable had exactly the same nutrients to begin with, which is probably

impossible.

 

I was juicing heavily in 2000 and 2001 and the consensus was to drink the

juice immediately after preparation in order to get maximum benefit from the

nutrients. Now many of the more seasoned and experienced juicers say that

you can put the juice in a glass jar (filled to the brim with a tight

fitting lid) in the fridge for a few days and drink as needed. I think I

would be more concerned about the oxidation that takes place doing this than

the oxidation that occurs at higher rpms, especially since the whole process

of juicing a glass of juice should only take a few minutes.

 

When I was fighting my cancer I actually used the Juice Man Plus. As an

alternative doctor dealing in natural oncology, my doc wasn't even concerned

with the type of juicer that I used. He was concerned that I juice several

times daily and consume the juice immediately. After the cancer was gone I

did get a Champion juicer and was excited to finely get one of the " more

recommended for results " type of juicer. I used it twice and didn't like it

at all. I'm sure there are good, better and best juicers but possibly this

is something to where a person doesn't need to purchase the best in order to

get the nutritional value that is needed for the body to heal. Maybe those

extra dollars could go toward buying organic produce, etc.

 

Just my thoughts; nothing set in stone, for sure. )

 

Be Well~
