Juicers
- The two step Norwalk Juicer (Grinding and Pressing)
- A hand operated press (Juice Press Factory) combined with the Champion juicer used as a grinder is priced lower, does the same job.
- A separate grinder and a separate press
- Centrifugal Machines: Air has too much access to the juicing process and produces much smaller amounts of juice
- Masticating Machines: Remove only some fiber making them less desirable for cancer patients and involve a large amount of friction and heat
Gerson Institute Position Statement on Juicers
- Based on decades of Gerson therapy experience, the two-step Norwalk Juicer provides the greatest benefits on the full Gerson Therapy
- The Champion juicer combined with a hand-operated press/the Juice Press Factory is priced lower than the Norwalk and does the same job but with more effect
- The Champion alone or Green Power can be used for non-malignant conditions
