יופי!
זה לא היה ממש במבצע. המוכרת הוציאה לי ספר מאובק מהמחסן... (אבל ראיתי שהיה לה עוד אחד, מנויילן, וגם הוא מן הסתם במחיר הזה). דרך-אגב, גיליתי קישור זה, המדבר על חשיבות
מכונת המיץ הנכונה. (להלן קטע קטן בעניין זה). Where can I get a juicer that is OK for a Gerson patient? Based on many years of experience, the best juicers are the Norwalk and K&K juicers. Norwalks are single units with a grinder mechanism that turns at a slow rate, and a separate, motorized hydraulic press that extracts the juice from the ground pulp. The K&K juicer is actually two separate units, one a grinder and the other, a manually operated press. These are usually less expensive but more labor-intensive than Norwalks. The Gerson Institute also maintains a list of used juicers that members and patients are selling. We can fax or mail this list to anyone without charge (you can reach us at (619) 685-5353) Norwalk juicers are available from Richard Boger (800) 405-8423. K&K juicers are available from Al Hasser, at (707) 928-5970. Why must I use a particular kind of juicer? Since juicing is a crucial part of the Gerson Therapy, it is extremely important to have a juicer that will not only be very durable, but one that will produce the highest quantity and highest quality of juice. For gaining the best quality and volume of juice, we have found it is essential to first grind the foods together and then press them. Juicing in this manner extracts the juice (containing the vitamins, minerals, micronutrients and enzymes) and leaves the dry pulp (fibers) behind. Many common juicers are not acceptable for use with the Gerson Therapy. While many of these products are probably fine for normal use by a healthy person, we do not recommend any other process for producing Gerson Therapy juice. The following is a description of some 'common' juicers and their problems: Centrifugal Juicers (most common, least expensive): Centrifugal juicers are fairly common and are generally the least expensive on the market. They operate by grating the food against a metal disk which is spinning at a very fast speed. The main problem with this kind of juicer is that the juicing method is extremely inefficient for extracting all the nutrients, vitamins and other essential from the produce being juiced. The resulting juice is deficient in vitamins, minerals and micronutrients, while unused pulp fibers are left containing the bulk of the valuable materials. With the average Gerson patient juicing about 18 pounds of produce a day, use of a centrifugal juicer would force them to buy much more produce (to gain the same results) than a two-step, grind & press juicer would require. Angel Life, Champion, Royal: These masticating juicers are relatively good products. They grind and extract in one step, but do not produce the high quality of juice that a two-step, grind & press juicer does. Overall their juice contains more pulp than others and separates faster. Some masticating juicers tend to heat the juice in their process of juicing, which compromises both the quality and content of juice they produce. While this option is less expensive than many of two-step, grind & press juicers, we do not recommend them for cancer patients. Vita-Mix and other liquefiers: The Vita-Mix and similar products are not true juicers but actually blenders, and are not acceptable at all for Gerson patients. They do not separate juice from pulp, but simply blend the two together. Since there is no reduction of bulk with these products, a patient would have to consume an alarming amount of produce every day (in addition to regular meals) to receive the proper amount of nutrients. The following quote comes from A Cancer Therapy, Appendix II, P. 406: "At first I thought that liquefiers would be the most wonderful thing. All the material was there, nothing was lost. But it didn't work." בהצלחה!
