The vitamix blenders are designed for heavy use.The 5000 series are 2hp peak model. The weak points are the drive shaft and the gears.These tend to get stripped and are easily replaced. Time is the big advantage with the blender.What took over an hour on the greenstar2000.Took 15 minutes with the blender. [Video Embedded Here]   [End]

The vita prep 3 is the back of the house commercial model from Vitamix.Juicing grass with just a few ice cubes is hard on the machine and the operator. It takes a lot of force to ram the grass down into the blades.The more grass in the carafe the more force needed.This puts a lot of stress on the motor and the carafe. https://commercial.vitamix.com/Products/Food-Preparation/VitaPrep-3   [End]

Wheatgrass juice via the blender. http://curezone.com/ig/f.asp?f=2203 Juicing grass in the blender is fast and simple.It is also hard on the equipment as well.I own a vita prep 3 and would not use the 2peak hp unit for this task. [Image Embedded Here]   [End]

The Human body is self regulating and genetically programmed to survive. Lifestyle will either support survival or interfere with it. The Human being is a functional omnivore as far as science/facts goes. Dr.Fruity has gone so far down the rabbit hole that life is nothing but a fruit thing.Fruity writes books on fruit,teaches on fruit.Has a web site on fruit and makes a living on fruit.

Negatively charged nutrients such as amino acids cause an increase in acidity.This simply is as it is and it is both vegetative and animal. Vegetative sources tend to have more positive charged nutrients making them more neutralizing. Balance is the key,I like to add greens to my protein rich smoothies. Designer proteins are designed with efficiency as top priority.Hydrolyzed Whey Protein is pre digested making it the best bio available protein to man. This is good if used properly as in post work out.Exercising the window of opportunity to maximize one`s nutrition.Whey is mild ...

Beans are grown in mass for many reasons.One being how stable they are in a clean dry state.It is easy to grow beans and store them as well. Dry beans are not edible and require basic food prep to make them palatable.Most beans need to be at least cooked and soaking along with sprouting is even better. All protein sources can be acid forming this simply is as it is.Over eating protein makes for acid build up and gout is a manifestation of such foolery. If one has respect for the body and does not overwhelm the buffering systems it is not a problem.This is the reasoning for balance ...

Garlic is grown as food is as it is.It is also consumed in a culinary fashion. Onions and leeks are also used in a similar fashion.This does not make them medicine nor does it mean they are consumed medicinally. If one eats a high fiber diet it is unlikely that bowel transition time will be over 12 hrs.However if one is overweight and eating nuts which tend to be binding this could slow things down.Not to mention exercise and other things to enhance the flow of life. I have no idea what beliefs you may be referring to.I will disclose that I do not believe in natural hygiene as the ...

Beans are a valuable food crop to humanity.18 millons tons annually and this is reality. Garlic is used as a food by man this is a fact.It does have medicinal uses which makes it very valuable to the human experience. All plant foods have fiber that is resistant to digestion and pass through to the large intestine.Does this cause denaturing and toxic things?If so what are these things and can they be avoided? Dr. Fuhrman is a Natural Hygienist why must you separate your ideals from other hygienists?Is this a natural intolerance of reality?   [End]

Beans have a large sugar called oligosaccharides which move on to the large intestine.Where they are consumed by the the bacteria in the large intestine.These bacteria give off the gas that is passed as flatulence/farts. So the gas has absolutely nothing to due with protein.Beans are 25% protein 25% fat and 50% complex carbohydrate.This is a perfect ratio as far as balance goes. Garlic is a super food to all people except those of the fruity few.And cooking serves a purpose to humanity. The history of man is as it is and it does not support the frugivore fantasy.

Dr. Fuhrman`s diet does work well and yes it is not perfect.No diet is but that is irrelevant. The challenges of loosing weight are complicated from an individual stand point. Do you have metabolic struggles such as sugar issues?Are you eating to many calories per meal?Why use nuts when the focus is on getting rid of unwanted and problematic adipose tissues? Human beings are just that human beings and we are like no animal on planet earth. May you be blessed with vibrant health.   [End]

Apples seem to work well on both sides of the fence. Tomatoes which are botanically a fruit does not mix well with other fruits. I believe if one chews there juice well then digestion is rarely an issue.   [End]

The greenstar is an excellent juicer with optimal crushing power.I have a greenstar 2000 that I have had for 5 years and truly enjoyed it. You can run some apple with carrot to sweeten up and add a little smoothness to it.The taste of straight veggie juice will grow opn you if you keep at it. You can also add ginger and garlic ”in moderation” to spice it up. Water fasting is difficult and dangerous if not monitored.It is extremely stressful on the body mind and spirit.This should only be done under professional supervision for safety reasons.

Some say there are enzymatic clashes which lead to gas and stresses the bowels.I do occasionally mix apple and grapes with my carrot juice.I must admit I generally eat the fruit and juice the hard fibrous veggies.I am currently using the omega vert,What juicer are you using if you do not mind my asking?   [End]

This model was a import the last time I checked and was very costly.The all stainless steal looks great but the gears meshing without a synthetic support could lead to shavings in the juice.They may have figured a way around that little issue of metal flaking.   [End]

Enhansing nutrient density through the removal of fiber raises nutrient absorbtion dramaticaly.Some substances such as grass juics are diffcult to obtain without a juicer.It all depends on what you want to do and where you are at relavant to health and vitality.I was under the impression you had researched such concepts as enzyme replacement thearapy.You will find these therapies used at healing retreats such as hippocrates institutes,tree of life,an many others as well.Juice fasting is about letting the digestive track rest by not eating solid food.Conserving the energy for other uses suc ...

Hello nurse2be you will enjoy the website rawfoodadvantage.com and its take on juiceing.Juiceing can be a very important part of a healthy lifestyle.I personaly do very little fractionated juiceing.But I do a lot of wholefood blending with a highpower blender.Spending under 150$ for a juicer is a wast of money.Spending under300$ for a blender is also a waste of time and money.Power tools must have the power you need to do the job properly.Palatability is always an issue with feeding the body.Juice can be jazzed up with peppers,onions :garlic if your brave:the possibilities are endless.You ...
