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. 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.
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. 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.
