I hope what I am about to say doesn't cause anyone to not want to juice carrots anymore :)

The high glycemic index is not the only problem and the fact that they are hybridized and cannot

reproduce themselves.  Root vegetables are known as ‘soil cleansers’ which means that they take up

the contaminants in the soil. That's why there are high amounts of pesticides and other contaminants in

potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc -- and other root crops.”

       

The best way to get Stage 2 juice is by pressing it.

 

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

you might want to read this 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"

 

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 an electric sprouter...especially wheatgrass with a low Brixxe level. 

Wheatgrass in a sprouter... is a sunless food. 

The best grasses are the immature primative greens that you would never buy in a health food store or a juice bar.

 

I grow my grass for maximum nutrient density.
The more enzymes and minerals the more pungent the taste.

The closer you grow to the jointing stage the better!

I prefer mine bitter and down and dirty!!

 

The only way to get the benefit from wheatgrass juice is to use a metal 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 sugary.

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.

 

When animals feel sick, they nibble on grass which is instinctive. the desire to chew grass is a natural desire.

Animals knowthat grass has healing properties. The laws of nature apply to animals as well as us. (Take a dog that is sick to a park and it will naturally take you to the grass).

 

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 at 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.

Thejuicer 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..

 

Many people want to naturally balance their blood sugar by throwing in swiss chard or bitter mellon which has an insulin-like substance in the

cell walls within  the fiber. But, they will get better results if it's blended than juiced.

 

The sugar rush:

  Juicing makes it easier than ever before to consume an excessive amount of fast-release carbohydrates.
 The body converts high-GI sugars and starchy foods into sugars quickly. They enter the bloodstream very rapidly,
producing a "sugar rush"  The normal (non-diabetic) body responds by overproducing insulin to break down or digest
the excess sugar molecules as quickly as possible. This overcompensation reduces the blood sugar blow the optimum level,
resulting in the "letdown" feeling called hypoglycemia. This, in turn, produces a craving for more carbohydrates--nature's
attempt to redress the imbalance. The result of these pendulum swings is a continuing cycle that stresses the body, causes
obesity and mood swings that make effective dieting extremely difficult. With a diabetic condition, the body cannot manufacture enough insulin to "take care" of excess blood sugar, and the consequences are catastrophic.

 

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 juicethe 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.

 

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.

 

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 ancy 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. 

 

Raw chlorella is the easiest way to get chlorophyll. I eat raw chlorella 3 times a day. Grass juice is another way to get this. These green food signals are unevolved. This is my base food. Wheatgrass juice is another way to get the green food signal. E3 Live is another good one but it is very expensive.
We do offer our cost on E3 live to our co op members which is about 50% off. Once my body has been cleaned, I only need 2 oz of grass juice a day.  I started out with 4 to 6 oz in the beginning before I cultivated 3 to 5 lbs of aerobic flora. Wheatgrass juice and other forms of chlorophyll act as detergents. We are not designed to live on detergents. These are for cleansing purposes only. After cultivating this bacteria, lettuce or spinach just tastes like alkaline water. The purer I become the more I enjoy the primitive greens. I do not expect everyone to enjoy drinking wheatgrass juice when their body is toxic.
