If you think you are going to get the best results and proper nutrition from a juicer then.

YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED!

YOU HAVE BEEN MISLEAD

YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED

WE TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT JUICING.

Nature is our coach...not a book...not some guru...not some belief!

MULTI-PURPOSE JUICERS ARE THE BIGGEST SCAM EVER INVENTED

IF YOU DON'T AGREE... READ THIS PAGE AND READ OUR BLENDER PAGE!

"It's a shame people think that juice diet from a juicer will actually cure them when actually all they are doing is taking out the nutrition and throwing it in the garbage."

"A Juicing diet is for people whose ecology is compromised by moderate to serious digestive strength"

Warning to those that may be new to juicing:

Read the bottom of the page for the TWIN GEAR Juicer scam!

GRASS JUICE FACTOR:

Grass juice is the ultimate growth factor.

There is an unknown quality that I believe has to do with "root oxins" that cause the aerobic bacteria in our body to grow really fast.

Grass juice is very cheap & easy to grow. I don't buy green vegetables (except for celery or cucumbers). I have no appetite for expensive salads. My needs are completely covered by the grass I grow (or buy when I am away). Grass juice is so chloryphillated and protein rich and so full of enzymes that there is no need for me to buy greens. Juicing grass has been the one of the main factor in producing my aerobic metabolism.

I have seen people who drink grass daily get "magnetically" attracted to foods that have a higher Brixxe value and a higher mineral content. Foods you might not like can suddenly become more attractive when you have an aerobic ecology.

Eating healthier does NOT need to be taught. This is why we do NOT sell books on the rawfood diet. Eating should become precognitive and intuitive. We do have a one page handout that pretty much tells you everything you need to do. What we do can fit on one single page. There is no need for a book to teach this. We have seen almost everyone fail when trying to change to a healthier diet.

Many vegetarians are drinking fruit & carrot juices....then... they eat all of the grains and legumes and nuts and seeds. SO, WHAT ARE THEY CREATING?  They are creating a big fermentation, similar to a beer brewery. Most vegetarians have a very acidic metabolism and a very bad ANaerobic ecology. Most vegetarians that I know have the most health problems. They don't have the severety of problems as carnivores or the starchy eaters. If you have concerns about improving your ecology by grassing you might want to look into getting a medal grass juicer. The one we use is the Workhorse 2.  I personally think the twin gear juicers are a waste of money and time and a waste of produce. The workhorse 2 has the most pressing power of any wheatgrass juicer we have found. It puts more pounds per square inch than any other juicer releasing the most stage 2 juice.

 Wheatgrass is not good from a sprouter...especially wheatgrass with a low Brixxe level. 

The only way to get the benefit from wheatgrass juice is to use a medal juicer. There is no substitute for an all medal auger. The antioxidants and phytochemicals which are only in the cell walls that need enormous pressure that a plastic juicer cannot give.

Many people go to juice bars and need a shot of wheatgrass. That is the wrong reason to drink it.  Wheatgrass juice is nauseously sweet to someone on the S.A.D. diet.

If you are going to juice wheatgrass you will only get stage 1 juice from a plastic juicer. The plastic augers wear out unlike medal gears. A medal juicer gives you the pressing effect and medal does not form pressure pockets either.

Most of the chlorophyll and aminos are on the tips of the grass. If you want to grow your own wheatgrass we recommend the Sundance Vertical Garden (we ship these out through the manufactor twice a month).

The more horsepower the wheatgrass juicer has the more pressing power and the more Stage 2 juice you will get. Stage 2 juice is where all the anti-oxidants and essential phytochemicals are.

The lower your digestive potential the more juice you will have to drink. If you have digestive problems there are certain precautions you might want to take before drinking any type of juice, especially highly concentrated wheatgrass. A junkavore can drink wheatgrass and get nothing out of it but a headache, nausea, mucus in the stomach, and might even throw it up.

BEWARE: I have seen juice bars that grow their wheatgrass. Make sure you are not getting the 2nd cutting. When the wheatgrass goes from vegetative to reproductive stages...this is when the ovul goes up the stem. Wheatgrass on its 2nd cutting, usually cut on its 12 day, has a fraction of the nutrients. Once you get your first cutting...throw the bedding away and start a new batch. By trying to get as much juice as you can you are only cheating yourself.

Note: Wheatgrass should taste like chlorophyll.

Most juice that I have seen in juice bars taste sweet. It should not taste sweet. It should taste like chlorophyll...not sugarry. Wheatgrass that is less sweet has more minerals...not a bunch of simple sugars. If grown properly the grass converts the sugar into minerals.  The soil needs to be rich in good bacteria. This bacteria transports the minerals into the feeding roots. Most people will not like the taste of mineral rich wheatgrass until their ecology is more alkaline and aerobic.

Please do not get the impression that we are against juicing. We just want to let people know that it is not the "Magic Cure" that it is advertised to be.  We want you to understand the facts about juicing and want you to be sure a juicer is what you need. We have been juicing for many years and have experienced and tested probably every juicer their is on the market and only sell the best in its class.
We do not like the way that juicers are being marketed. You do not get the phytochemicals and anti-oxidants that help certain objectives in juice unless its juiced in a certain way... and I DO not mean by drinking it directly out of a juicer... That's the worst way to drink it... fresh out of a juicer. That is a waste of time and food. The juice that you don't get from a juicer is stage 2 juice which is all in the pulp which is usually thrown down the drain. You do NOT have to eat the pulp or even blend it to get Stage 2 juice. We aren't saying blending is the only way to get the phytochemicals.

As a symbiotic rawfoodist, I take the extra step to obtain the phytochemicals and anti-oxidants out of the juice. 20 years ago people did the same thing I did but used a Champion juicer. We all know now that juice does not store long from a high speed juicer. I use the Twin Health juicer to help make my juice and I use the homogenizing screen to make the juice pulpy before it turns into juice.  Your juice will only be balanced if you use the homogenizing blank and then extract stage 2 juice from it. Don't worry about Stage 1, that will come on its on. You can even use a 50 dollar juicer from Walmart as long as you drink it right away or pump it immediatly after pressing the juice out to take out the air. Remember...and apple doesn't turn brown the minute it touches air. Juice doesn't oxidize either like the manufactors tell you. Nutrient loss is a factor of air, tempurature, and time. Some nutrients are destroyed by light while oxygen has no effect on it. Some are destroyed by light. I am tired of the scams they tell you to get you to buy a more expensive juicer.  

If you drink fresh juice from a juicer for one month from the homogenizing screen and then the next month go back to standard juicing you will notice the difference. I get that pulply juice and press it into pulp free juice that now has stage 2 juice that usually is wasted even from this high powered juicer. I get the energy from the tubule juice and the nutrients from Stage 2 juice. I will take more than the split second that a juicer touches the food to turn it into juice. It's sad people think they are getting nutrition from a high powered juicer that turns the produce into nutrient rich juice instantly. It just doesn't happen as the manufacterors would like you to believe. I wouldn't even drink juice out of the Twin Health juicer as a matter of fact. I am not the only one that does this. Just about every health institute does what I do. It's not a secret unless you have been mislead.

It is well known that cancer is fed by sugar. It scares us that dealers trying to promote a healthy lifestyle are encouraging a tremendous amount of carrot juicing. We will never tell anyone to drink a lot of sugary foods. Most people that buy a juicer, juice beets, carrots and apples as the staple of their diet. Rarely people will juice green juice unless they know the benefits of it( there are far more minerals, vitamins and other life-giving plant chemicals in a glass of green juice), and even then, they throw out all the valuable pulp down the drain.

 "Juicing" fruits and vegetables can actually accelerate cancer and the aging process if drinking it right out of the juicer. The juicer is excellent if you want more vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. But, this does not prevent the body from getting older.  When you use a juicer, you DO NOT get the anti-aging nutrients, phytochemicals and fiber(pulp) at all.   Phytochemicals are not vitamins or minerals and have nothing to do with the enzymes. They are NON-NUTRITIVE substances found in plants that actually contain protective, disease-preventing compounds.

"Juices are not as balanced as Nature would have it."
(from Rebuild Your Health, Ann Wigmore Foundation, NM, 1991)

OK.. so why do we sell juicers if we don't recommend them. We don't recommend them for healing purposes if you are using the juicer alone.. There is nothing wrong with a tall glass of cool watermelon or organic pineapple juice after a long day in the park or after a tiring workout. Celery juice is perfect when you need it. But just don't think you can get away with juicing to heal cancer or a certain disease by just putting veggies in a juicer and think it will heal you. It's also a waste of money to juice. You have to spend about 5 times as much money to get the same nutrition as you would get out of using a 3HP blender. I drink juice all the time but I certainly don't drink it right out of a juicer and I don't blend it either.

If you have a digestive problem or specific concern that makes it hard to drink the whole blended foods we recommend only buying a juicer if you plan on using it for 3 months or less...or just enough time to transition to blending. Juicers (not wheatgrass juicers) should be a temporary transitional appliance. Juicing should not be a lifestyle. This is what causes many people to get sick...and its a waste of money since most people throw the pulp in the garbage and its stage 2 juice.

Once your body is strong enough to handle whole foods we can help you sell your used juicer to the next customer that wants to do the same transition that you just did. Once you are able to start blending we will buy your juicer back towards credit for a blender. If your situation requires it, we recommend buying a juicer and a blender at the same time as long as you know you can get rid of it when ever you decide. You will not be stuck with the juicer if you buy it from us. Depending on your situation we can help you decide if you need a juicer, blender, or both. We recommend that most people start blending and never buy a juicer but only for certain situations we recommend buying a juicer first. If you are just coming off the S.A.D. diet blending is recommended from the start. Juicing is very conentrated and your body absorbs the nutrition almost instantly. This can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. You need to balance the juices and not do what most people do which is juicing a whole bag of carrots and apples. That is the worst thing you can do. And, juicing greens is an ever worse idea. Only juice if your body can just barely handle any digestion of the whole fruit or vegetable.

One of the most popular juices is raw red cabbage juice. There is a reason why cabbage causes gas...and it's a good thing that it does. Just like when you wash your hands it produces foam. When you drink cabbage juice it creates gas in your colon and that is what happens when you are cleansing yourself... just like washing your hands. The gas is created when the juice is combining with the toxins. Cabbage juice does NOT cause gas in a healthy colon.

The question now comes... should you juice or blend?

The answer depends on how far along you are in your raw food journey. If you have never juiced or blended and you have a condition you need to heal ( because you are toxic and unbalanced from a lifetime of junk and cooked foods) your digestive system may not be able to handle the pulp.

We would then recommend getting a juicer and drink the juice until your body is able to handle the blended foods. Just save the pulp and use it in a dehydrator to make raw and yummy phytochemicals/anti-oxidant treats if you are trying to transition.
If you don't have health objectives and just want a lot of energy, then the juicer may be a good choice, but blending and getting a daily dose of fresh phytochemicals will help ensure that you get the benefits of the pulp. Side note about energy...don't get in the habit of juicing sweet fruits all the time like carrots and apples, this is a big problem that people develop. Too much sugar will cause more problems than if you didn't have the juicer. Who can eat 5 lbs of carrots in a day. Some people juice 5lbs of carrots to the point that their skin is orange and they think they are the healthiest people in the world.

When most rawfooders reach 95% raw, we tend to juice less and blend more. Blending is much quicker of course!  (None of our good friends who are 100% raw use a juicer. We all blend). You might not like the taste of it when you are toxic, but when you are mostly raw you can really appreciate and enjoy the taste of a raw living smoothie.

Juice is more palatable, we agree, but if you have the right recipes, then blending will be the better choice.  And, for those that have weak digestions and say that they cannot handle the fiber, this is not true of the pulp that has been blended in a 3hp blender. (Also, we have found that if you depend on juice and don't use your digestive system to "digest" foods which is what a digestive system is for... then you will have more problems. It's sort of like exercises). Blended foods in a 3hp blender actually helps those with the excuse that they can't eat a lot of fiber.

Dr. Ann Wigmore - the naturopathic doctor who popularized wheatgrass juice, wrote in her later years, "I no longer advocate juicing, except for wheatgrass and watermelon juice. Blending helps the body to clean itself and thus it restores health much quicker than just eating the foods as salads, yet it does not overtax the system with the rapid cleansing action of juices."

Speaking of Wheatgrass, USE caution when using it! Be very cautious, if you have blood pressure problems. Stay far away from it, if you have low blood pressure. And as a matter of fact, if you do the right research, you won't want to drink wheatgrass juice all together.  We have consulted many books and resources on this and they all agree that there other greens that can accomplish what you are looking in wheatgrass and have better digestibility. 

Phytochemicals are the stimulants to an immune system that can fight disease and slow down the aging process. Phytochemicals are in the fiber. Different plants have different phytochemicals. Some help balance blood sugar..some have anti-aging properties-and some help accelerate healing..

If you want to naturally blance your blood sugar you might want to throw in swiss chard or bitter mellon which has an insulin-like substance in the cell walls within  the fiber. But, you will get better results if it's blended than juiced.

It can take up to an hour and a half to get a gallon of juice..(You can get a gallon of carrot juice or celery juice much quicker but it's the greens that the most time and most people give up after a few times juicing). Even if it took you 5 minutes to juice a whole gallon- your body only can absorb about 2 cups worth of nutrition at one time. Your body cannot absorb more nutrients than it needs. Blending takes about 50 seconds and you don't have to do anything but put the fruit and veggies in the container and just turn the switch on.. Fresh smoothies don't store more than 4 hours unless you pump the air out. You can get this pump for about $40 dollars. It's very popular among rawfoodists who want their juice to last 5 days. The pump is sort of like a reverse bicycle pump. Many people juice the night before so they don't have to do it in the morning. They have no idea that the nutrients are oxidizing by the time they drink it. Get that pump if you ever plan on drinking a smoothie or juice after 4 hours.

Juice is not a whole food. Juice is PROCESSED to the point to where most of the nutritional value is gone. It is not natural for a body to absorb concentrated doses of sugar, such as in carrot or apple juice. Juice might help in the short run due to the nutrients and might make you feel good due to the overdoses of sugar but you will see in the long run that you will want to blend your food. See if the juicer works for you. Maybe you will experience the sugar highs, the cleaning experiences, and the high cost of produce that you waste in the pulp. If you are going to buy a juicer just don't be mis-informed. If you already have a juicer we will take it as a trade-in towards a blender if we have a use for it.

I understand that everyone who plans on buying a juicer is just doing the best they can based on their level of awareness. I am not offended if you choose to juice after learning what we teach. After all, we do have the absolute lowest prices on juicers.

Just like having a sugar addiction, a ccoked food addiction, or any other type of addiction to the Standard American Diet...you can just as easily get addicted to the concentrated sugars that you get from a juicer. It is not natural to drink juice and not eat the entire structure of the fruit or vegetable. The fibers, which contain the anti-aging and anti-disease qualities in the anti-oxidants and phytochemicals, are locked in the cell walls of the fibers. These are the building blocks for the foods and not the juice. The true value of the fruit and vegetable is when you eat it in its whole form. Juicers are hard to clean and is the least efficient way to eat. It is a very wasteful lifestyle. Also, most people that juice do not chew their juice. Juicing makes it easy for you to drink and making it very undigestable. Normally when we eat foods we chew them and we release enzymes to help the food digest. When most people juice they drink it much faster than they would ever eat it. I see people at juice bars drink their wheatgrass shot in one gulp. That is the worst thing you can do for your body. The energy they get is more of a stimulant and burdens the body. If you are just beginning to start the raw food diet...I would hope you believe the wheatgrass hype.

I see juicers all the time at garage sales. I often ask why they are getting rid of it and the answers from everyone always seem to be the same about their experience with the juicer. Most of the time the juicers look like they were barely used and haven't been used in years. I have never seen a 3HP blender at a garage sale.

Juicers have a very big profit markeup for stores. I have called plenty of stores that sell juicers to tell the truth about juicers or at least find out the persons needs' who want the juicer before they try to sell them a juicer. I think stores will not stop selling juicers and all the books will continue to promote them. There is just too much profit for them to stop.

When I first started selling juicers I was selling more than any store on the net.. Now, that I hve had experience with 3hp and 3HP+ blenders I have called almost every customer that bought a juicer from me and offered them to trade in their juicer towards credit towards a 3HP+. Almost all of the customers who didn't know about 3HP blending (mainly since 3HP blending is new technology and we didn't sell them then) have bought a 3HP or 3HP+ blender and either donated or sold their juicer.

I will not knowingly sell a juicer to someone that doesn't need one....just like a doctor will not prescribe medication that he or she feels will not help their patient.. If you want a juicer for other reasons, such as for making raw cookie dough or bread, or raw ice cream, please let us know. You can do this much more efficiently in a 3HP blender but the only time people really ever buy a juicer is when they want to make it when others are sleeping and do not want to run a blender. The newer 3+hp blenders are much quieter than the older 3HP blenders that came out a few years ago.

Hopefully, juicers will be obsolete in the very near future. In my opinion, its the biggest scam ever invented targeted towards people that are sick and those that want to maintain good health and prevent diseases. With all that being said, if you REALLY want a juicer there is no need to pay over 300 dollars for a juicer. You can get a good twin gear juicer for under 300 dollars. The new compact 14 lb twin gear juicer is now made and is affordable. It doesn't come with all the fancy pasta maker attachment and books so you are just paying for the juicer and not all the fillers that make a juicer go up in price.  Call us at 1800 578 6988. We are open from 8am till midnight, 7 days a week. We return all calls within 10 minutes 99% of the time. If people have to wait over that we take your wait time in consideration and the pricing we offer will reflect it.

Before you take the quiz... you just might want to see how long it takes to clean a juicer...Just imagine doing this every time you juice.. and it takes even longer to put it back together. You might want to look into 3 HP blending if you hate spending time in the kitchen. Watch this video. You will see how long it really takes to clean a juicer.

Most people that buy a juicer only use it for less than 2 months until they get fed up!

Our coaches talk 99.99% of our customer out of buying a juicer. Our goal is to not sell you a juicer. So, if you call to buy a juicer be prepared for us to argue with you! Get a pen and take notes!

(Not to sound proud but most people agree with us by the end of our conversation).

Juicers take too much time to set up, operate, and clean. Your time is wasted chopping everything just so it can fit into the chute of your juicer.

Juicers are expensive to begin with and drive up your power bill because of the typically long run time.

 The most expensive twin gear juicers fail to extract a minimum of 25% stage 2 juice and worse yet the 25% contains an average of 40% of the nutrients. 

Whether you are considering anything from a grossly inefficient centrifugal to a super duper twin gear nothing comes close to the grinding and pressing extraction action of a true stage 2 juicer.

 TWIN GEAR JUICER SCAM (THIS GOES FOR SINGLE AUGERS TOO)

 They say you should not buy a high speed juicer because it will oxidize the nutrients... or heat it and kill the vitamins and enzymes... They tell you to get a slow speed juicer that doesn't put air in the juice or even go to the extent about talking about magnants...what will they think of next!

The truth is...high speed juicers do not destroy the nutrients any faster than a twin gear juicer...it's what happens after you juice where the problem is.

First... some vitamins are not destroyed by heat or air... they are destroyed by light..

Some are destroyed by air and not so much from air... They just tell you it oxidizes the nutrition without knowing what they are talking about.

The truth about oxidation of nutrients is very clear if you know physics.  

Oxidation is a factor of 3 things: Time, Tempurature, and Heat.. You have to have all 3 to oxidize.

Try putting an apple in the oven. It does not turn brown the instant you put it in.

Yes.. the magnants are supposed to make the juice last longer.. up to 48 hours... The magnets  produce a focused magnetic field of 2600 gauss through which the juice flows. I'm sorry, but I do not* want a force on the level of physics to alter the sub-atomic structure of my juice. This denaturing of Nature's perfectly balanced chemistry is the very thing raw foodists are *against.*

If your are going to get a twin gear juicer... get one that crushes or extracts the juice. This is a physical change, not chemical. There's no stripping of electrons and there's no adding of electrons (which magnetism does).

One twin gear manufacturer mentions a "72 Hour Fresh Juice Stability Study" which showed "the lowest bacteria proliferation." This to me is scary. If the bacteria don't want it, I don't want it. If the enzymes in microbes can't break down the food, then the enzymes in my body will have an equally tough time. This is true whether we're talking breakfast cereal or juice.

The easiest and safest way to go of you want to juice once or maybe twice a week is to just buy a juicer that doesn't take hours to juice and once you have the juice just take the little hand held anti-air pump and pump it a few times and then store the juice for up to 5 days. We do have a newer juicer that came on the market after the Greenstar came out that has a more powerful motor and is a twin gear. We also have a 14 lb, very portable juicer that is also a twin gear but it is not as powerful as the Greenstar but way more powerful than a single auger juicer. Both do not have the magnants.

This is the super Commercial twin gear juicer. For those that have used slow twin gear juicer...you will have a surprise waiting for you when this one comes out. We do not have prices yet and are not taking orders on this until we get it in stock.

We are delighted to announce the future release of the Commercial Juicer.

This machine has been designed to produce the same quality living juice full of enzymes and nutrients as the domestic twin gear juicer.

Until now, the only way to get juice fast is from the high speed, high oxidation centrifuge juicers. Many nutrients and almost all life giving enzymes are destroyed during this process.

Many of my customers who have been associated with living juice have been patiently waiting for this machine for many years. Now I am delighted to release to the market the Commercial twin gear juicer.

This juicer uses the crushing and squeezing action of patented twin gear design to extract the maximum amount of juice. Try putting this side by side with a residential twin gear juicer and you will instantly see the difference.

This commercial juicer makes up to 50 litres (80 pints) per hour. Although this might make this much juice in an hour...just think of it as saving you an hour in the kitchen each time you juice. Imagine filling up a 5 gallon container of juice in about an hour. I don't want to even think of how long that would take a residential twin gear juicer to juice.

NEW Twin Gear Juicer  by TRIBEST, the makers of Greenstar. This is the newest, most compact twin gear juicer that we have. It is about half the size and that means less cleaning. If you want the GREENSTAR juicer, we still have some of them left but we are switching over to their compact model

(The only 14 lb twin gear juicer on the market, very portable)

JUICING TIPS if you must juice:

1.  To get more juice, reduce clogging, and simplify cleanup, add some peeled Zucchini squash along with your carrots. My "Carrotini" juice tastes better than it sounds.
2.  If there is a "head" of frothy foam on the top of your glassful of juice, you can either enjoy the taste and texture of it (I do) or avoid it by drinking through a straw.
3.  If the left-over vegetable pulp produced from your juicer seems damp or even wet, you may be pushing vegetables through too fast. Take your time and let the machine do its job. Use only a subtle pressure, with the plunger supplied by the manufacturer, to send the produce through your juicer.
4.  If your family runs for cover at first sight of your intent to liquefy everything in the 'fridge, then snag your dog. Our dog's ears perk up at the sound of a juicer revving up, for she knows that the cast off vegetable pulp is all for her. We thoroughly mix it with her dog food to greatly increase its vegetable, vitamin, and fiber content. It is also low-calorie, and filling, so it keeps her thin.
No dog? Then put the pulp in your compost pile. No compost pile? Well, why not? Okay, okay, one more option: carrot pulp is just the ticket for carrot cake. And that might just get your family back into the kitchen again.

5.  To get more juice out of the same quantity of vegetables, try putting them through your juicer more slowly. A gentle pressure works best; let the machine do the work. Taking your time juicing can yield as much as a third more juice. And, it will also reduce the heat from pressing vegetables too hard against the juicer's blade assembly (I also freeze my blades before I use them to prevent "too" much foaming when doing greens). Reduced friction means cooler juice, which most experienced juicers consider to be better for you. Cooler juice also tastes better.
To this end, I frost up a couple of large drinking glasses, and the glass pitcher I collect the juice in, by sticking them in the freezer each night. Next morning, I begin. Naturally, refrigerating (but NOT freezing!) your fresh produce also keeps everything cooler.
HINT: A good way to check your juicing technique is to feel the discarded pulp. If it is wet, you are losing juice. If it is dry and puffy, you are extracting most of the liquid very well.
6.  ANOTHER HINT: Clean the clogs as you go. Carrots and other veggies can be very fibrous at certain times of the year. This is all the more reason to slow the juicing process down a tad. But if you are really going at it, stop juicing every five pounds or so, unplug the juicer, and (carefully) rinse off the blade assembly under running cold tap water.
7.  It is wise to peel vegetables that have been sprayed or waxed, such as cucumbers. Sprayed fruits are also good to peel before juicing. Carrots and other underground vegetables often do not need peeling. Instead, give them a good scrubbing with a nylon-bristle vegetable brush while rinsing under tap water. Beets are the exception. Since beet skins are very bitter, it is wise to peel beets before juicing. A hint to save time: dip the beets for about 20 seconds in boiling water and then peel them... it's much easier.

8.  It is generally a good idea to dilute your juice 50/50 with water. If you can afford filtered water, use it. If not, don't worry... the goodness of the juices will carry you. Some people, including me, do not like the taste of diluted juice. An alternative is to drink a glass of water, then drink a glass of juice. This gives the same effect, and tastes better. Be sure to drink the water first, for after the juice you may not want the water as much.

9.  AND ANOTHER HINT: ( THE BIGGEST HINT OF ALL): For those that don't have much time to spend in the kitchen make sure you get a cheap little anti-oxidation pump to pump out the air bubbles in the juice.  This allows to store it in your refrigerator for about 5 days so it won't lose its enzymes and nutrients.

Your juice will taste the best if you drink it right after preparing it. I mean within moments! Fresh juice contains a great amount of raw food enzymes and vitamins, many of which are easily lost as the juice sits (unless you pump the air out with the hand held pump).

When we say "juice", we generally are referring to vegetable juice, freshly prepared. Fruit juice tends to be too sweet for comfortable fasting. However, there is nothing to stop you from experimenting and coming up with your own best regimen. As long as you get good results, HOW you get them is secondary.
 
There are many cheaper juicers and also many dissatisfied folks who thought they'd save a buck and now regret that they bought a "bargain" juicer. If you spend under $150, you will be disappointed with your purchase within weeks.

I promote juicers as a tool for making nut pates, raw breads, raw crackers, soups, ice creams, and many other other delicious foods.

The top 10 foods we make in our Twin Gear juicer (yes, we have the recipe book for these)

1. Barley Warmed Raw Bread

     Just put it in the dehydrator and serve warm!

2. Lean Green Protein Crackers.

     An easy recipe. High protein, calcium rich. Caraway seeds make it taste like a rye cracker.

3. Royal Porridge!

     PUt soaked oats, bananas, dates in the juicer. When done serve with almond milk.

4. Berry Pudding!

     Frozen bananas and mixed berries make the best pudding you can eat.

5. Southwestern Guacamole!

     A juicer makes the excellent guacamole and does the mixing for you.

6. Chunky Veggie Soup!

     You can make the creamiest veggi broth and still have chunky veggies by adjusting the soft fruit knob.

7. Chewy Carob Cookies!

     Twin gear juicers can mak the chewiest cookies...much better than baked.

8. Barely Warmed Spaghetti!

     Out of barley, olive oil, and fresh basil you can make pasta in the 3000 model. Take the noodles out and dehdrate them and they will have all the enyzmes and nutrition unlike cooked pasta. Then, make some chunky marinara sauce from tomatoes, fresh garlic, and Italian spices an a little olive oil and pour over it. Heat the sauce in the dehydrator. A wonderful meal for everyone to enjoy.

9. Coconut Pecan Patties!

     Just as the name describes.

10.  Carrot Juice!

     Juice carrots if you want to leave out the phytochemicals and anti-oxidants. The concentrated nutrients are in it's stage 2 juice...not the "free water" in the tubule structure. Don't be fooled by the term "juice". There are 2 classifications of juice. There is only one way to get stage 2 juice from a juicer. There is only 1 juicer on the market that can deliver stage 1 and stage 2 juice and many substitutes that work just as good and can save you more time.

Gold plating makes this juicer dishwasher safe. 

This juicer definately has the bling bling.

This is the stainless steel version of the gold plated version.

This juicer not only has the steel gears but it has the steel casing which we like. Even if the juicer has stainless steel gears but has a plastic casing, we have found that over time it forms air pockets or expands over use. When we are pressing juice with a plastic juicer, it works good at first but over time it losses pressing power due to the expansing of the casing.

The Greenstar and Twin Health Marathon juicer do not have stainless steel casing like this one but they do have the stainless steel gears. I don't care if the gears are made of diamond if the casing is not medal. Most of the Stage 2 juice is delivered when there is the most pressing power based on what we have found in our tests. This juicer will extract the most juice out of all the residential twin gear juicers we have tested.

For those that are going to juice fruits and vegetables, this one is the

most powerful residential twin gear juicer on the market. If you can afford it, then this is the one to get.

This juicer does take at least 1 to 2 weeks to receive since it ships from Australia. We do have the best price on these but there is a small waiting list at time.
