The juicing is so tedious, with
all the grinding and pressing. Isn't there an easier and faster
way, or a cheaper juicer that I could use?
Dr. Gerson said in his address to a
group assembled in Escondido, California in 1956: "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."
The rotating blade gives rise to a "dynamo effect", causing
electricity to be generated, thus killing enzymes. The same is
true of centrifugal juicers. Juices must be made by grinding the
vegetables first, mixing them, and then pressing them in a
press. We have come across cancer patients who tried to heal
themselves on the Gerson Therapy using a centrifugal juicer, but
they experienced no improvement. When they tried the Therapy
with a Champion juicer, they did well. More seriously ill
patients still need the grinding plus pressing type of juicer
like the Norwalk to properly heal.
In response to a question from a patient about the two step
juicing process, Dr. Gerson wrote that "the malic acid
(contained in the apples) mixed with the ground carrots helps to
release the minerals from the carrots." In other words, it is
necessary to first grind the apples and carrots together into a
bowl, using a grinder. Norwalk, or Champion juicers can all be
used as grinders, but the Champion cannot be used as a press.
The ground materials are mixed and then the mixture is placed in
a press cloth and put under pressure in the Norwalk press. This
process produces the best extraction, that is richest in
minerals, and best in taste. Juice produced by the Champion
juicer alone separates into a transparent liquid at the bottom
and mush on top after a very short time. This juice is also
harder for the patient to drink because of the particles, and is
not as rich and homogeneous in nutrients.
More recently the Green Power juicer was introduced. It does
a better job of extraction than the Champion when used as a
juicer, but it offers no way (as the Champion does) to block the
juicing action. It is impossible to use the Green Power juicer
solely as a grinder, as it grinds and juices in one operation.
While it extracts juice quite efficiently, it does not fulfill
Dr. Gerson's requirement of mixing the ground apples and carrots
thoroughly before pressing.
