"Fruits and vegetables that have been finely blended in a vita-mix?blender retain all their nutrients as well as the fiber. The Vita-Mix8 operates at a very high speed, grinding food to a fine, smooth texture. Obtaining juice this way is the healthiest because one gets to consume the whole food, as nature intended. Digestion is aided because the food has already been broken down. Remember that this kind of juice is a whole food, and needs to be mixed with saliva and consumed slowly." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"By the way, a vita-mix is not a juice extractor. I own a vita-mix and it is a very good blender and has a lot of very good uses, but it is not a juice extractor. A juice extractor extracts the juice from the fruit, separating the juice from the pulp. A vita-mix, being a very powerful blender, simply liquefies the entire fruit or vegetable. This is not juice; this is a liquefied fruit or vegetable. It's not bad, but it is not juice. That's why I recommend a juice extractor." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

Juice may not need to be added if the strawberries have enough liquid. This is natural raw fruit." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"I have found the powerful and indestructible vita-mix brand blender increasingly indispensable as my diet has evolved. Coffee grinder or spice mill Garlic press Grill pan and/or grill, or George Foreman-type indoor griller Measuring cup Saladspinner Snack-size plastic bags Measure nuts or seeds in the palm of your hand and store them in individual portions. Vegetable peeler Your portions of cheese will seem larger if you shave them into thin slices." - Dr. Steven R.

"Vita-Mix or K-Tec. Preparation and cleanup takes minutes, does not involve complicated recipes, is infinitely variable, nutrient-dense, super delicious, and completely portable for our active lives. This 1 pound of green leafy produce is the fundamental groundwork for your low-glycemic, nutrient-dense anti-diabetogenic Culture of Life world cuisine. In my experience at the Tree of Life, I have found that most people do well eating 1 pound of leafy greens each day, but some do well with as much as 2 pounds." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"I recommend the vita-mix Super 5000 (the most versatile blender), the K-Tec HP3 blender, and the Tribest single-serving blender (great for traveling). JUICER The selection of a juicer for your living-foods kitchen should be carefully considered. Most home juicers are of the centrifugal type. The quality of the juice extracted from this type of juicer is less than ideal because as the centrifugal mechanism spins at high speed, it shreds the produce, which therefore oxidizes more rapidly." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Creates one full vita-mix blender. Serves 1 -2. Aloe Vera and Lemon Smoothie 2 cups aloe vera 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon blessed water Toss in blender and blend on high speed. Serves 1.

"You may already have everything you need to start cooking, but take a few minutes to make sure you are supplied with these important basics: • Colander • Garlic press • Food chopper • Vegetable juicer • High-powered blender • Pressure cooker A powerful blender such as the vita-mix is very helpful. Only the more expensive, high-powered blenders will be able to make fruit sorbets from frozen fruits and creamy dressings and dips from nuts and seeds. They can also blend vegetables effortlessly for your fruit or green smoothies. It is a good investment that will last a lifetime." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"The reason for using a vita-mix rather than a juicer is that we need the fiber that juicing eliminates. Chimps eat 300 grams of fiber a day, while the average American consumes only 10-20 grams. Though the usual recommendation for humans is about 30 grams a day, Victoria believes we need at least 70 grams. Note: Most raw food diets also lack in fiber, although Dr. Vetrano's recommended Natural Hygiene diet offers 60-90 grams or more, depending on whether the person juices out much of the fiber." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "This is when I discovered I could "chew" my greens up in the vita-mix. After some brainstorming, I liquefied kale leaves with a couple of bananas and water. This drink was pleasantly delicious! The sweetness of the fruit took the edge off the sometimes bitter, sometimes bland, sometimes unpleasantly strong taste of the greens of choice. 1 called the wonderful beverage a green smoothie. The solution to my greens dilemma was so unexpectedly simple! To consume greens in this way took so little time that I naturally continued experimenting with a variety of blended greens and fruits day after day." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Many of these combinations require a juicer or blender; I highly recommend the Green Star Juicer, the Commercial Champion Juicer, the Miracle Wheatgrass Juicer, the Excalibur Dehydrator, the Cuisinart Food Processor and the vita-mix Blender. I personally own and use them all. These are essential household appliances to create a healthy future for you and your family. For more information on these appliances, please visit www.rawfood.com. RECIPES Avocado Burritos 8 leaves of romaine lettuce 2 avocados 2 jalapeno peppers 4 tomatoes 1 orange Mix and mash the avocados, peppers and tomatoes." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"Juice it yourself using either a juicing machine or a high-powered blender like the vita-mix. Just blend up celery stalks with apples or pears and drink it immediately. Keep the apples, pears and other sweet fruits to a minimum in order to avoid a sugar rush and typical glycemic effects. Heartburn can also be helped by taking digestive enzyme supplements containing HCL (hydrochloric acid). This extra acid can help with digestion and ease the load on your stomach. However, the long-term solution to this condition is found in changing your diet, not relying on digestive enzymes at each meal." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The makers of vita-mix have a recipe book filled with all kinds of juice concoctions. Just ignore the parts suggesting adding honey or sugar. Tea Is Superior to Coffee Tea can also have a beneficial effect on reducing atherosclerosis. Several studies have shown that the flavonoid components of tea can significantly reduce oxidation of tissues. Green tea contains high levels of the powerful antioxidant, quercetin, as well as special flavonoids, including epicatechin and epigallocatechin 3-gallate." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "I have found that the high-powered vita-mix processor is excellent for breaking down the plant-cell wall and releasing nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Whatever method you use, make a large amount of the fruit and vegetable mix described below, reserve enough to last the week, and freeze the rest. That way you can carry some with you in a thermos bottle and have plenty in the freezer to thaw and use later." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "You may want to use a vita-mix blender for better results. Drink twelve ounces twice a day. Other Mercury-chelating Compounds Mercury combines with malate and citrate to produce harmless compounds that can be removed from the body. An additional advantage is that it should remove the mercury from the nervous system as well, since the organic compounds and magnesium all enter the brain fairly easily. Citrate and malate are both normal byproducts of metabolism." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

This is not juice; this is a liquefied fruit or vegetable. It's not bad, but it is not juice. That's why I recommend a juice extractor. For those of you who want more convenience, as I mentioned in last month's newsletter, you can enjoy mangosteen juice, goji juice, or noni juice." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Although a vita-mix blender works well the dried bark can be difficult to powder. The fresh plant tincture tends to be the most efficacious preparation. Dosage: • FPT/DPT (70% alcohol): 30-60 drops 3 times daily • Bark decoction: 4-6 ounces 3 times daily Cautions: Do not use during pregnancy. Other Uses: Cut branches stuck in the ground and watered root easily. Living Ocotillo fences can be made or rather assisted; they are functional and change with the seasons. A beverage tea is made with the flowers." - Charles W. Kane, Herbal Medicine of the American Southwest (Get the book.) "For lighter materials an average blender with a metal or glass container is adequate; for tougher materials a vita-mix works well, or an industrial grinder/mill. Once the plant is powdered it can then be used as a dust, or as a starting point for DPT's, poultices, etc. Salve While slowly heating 5 ounces of herbal oil add 1 ounce of bee's wax. Let wax slowly dissolve. While still hot, pour into containers. As the salve cools, it will solidify. Ratio: 5parts herbal oil (volume) to 1 part bee's wax (weight) Sitz Bath Using Vi strength or full strength tea apply/soak until tea is cool." - Charles W.

(See Product Appendix under vita-mix Corp. for more information.) Add about one-half teaspoon every day to your pet's meal. Besides getting rid of worms, these items are also healthful for it. Next in the nutritional arsenal would be wheat-germ oil, but not just any kind. The type I've recommended for many years is animal-strength quality and goes by the name of Rex Wheat Germ Oil." - Dr. John Heinerman, Natural Pet Cures: Dog & Cat Care the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"These machines will probably be showing up more frequently now that the vita-mix corporation is marketing its newly designed polycarbonate container. The previous 3600 Plus vita-mix model, which is all stainless steel except for the plastic "two-piece Action Dome" that attaches to the top of the container, costs about $300 to $400 when purchased new. I've found them used and in excellent shape for $20, $60, and $150 Canadian in British Columbia; however, for the work this tool does, it is worth the $300." - James Green, The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook (Get the book.)

"The machine I recommend for this is a vita-mix 5000. It is the only juicer I know of that includes the fiber with the juice.

(See the Product Appendix under vita-mix for more information on this fine machine." - Dr. John Heinerman, Natural Pet Cures: Dog & Cat Care the Natural Way (Get the book.)
