The revolutionary new Hurom Slow Juicer will revolutionize the way you make fresh juice

Date: Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 PDT
(NaturalNews) The last juicer I recommended was the Breville juicer. I own two of them, and they are top-of-the-line juicing appliances that can transform fresh fruits and vegetables into healing, nutrient-rich juices right from your kitchen counter. But today, I have incredible news for you about a truly revolutionary new juicer that now takes first place at the top of my recommendations list. This juicer isn't a centrifugal juicer with a blade that shreds your vegetables; it's a whole new category of juicing technology. And it offers significant advantages that make this a must-have appliance for your kitchen.

Here's why...

The problem with centrifugal juicers
Centrifugal juicers actually "shred" your food to separate pulp from juice. The fast-spinning basket allows juice to escape the basket while pulp is flung into the pulp holding bin. This has been the status quo of consumer-class juicing for roughly a decade.

Centrifugal juicing is fine -- and I've been using it for years -- but it does have its problems. It tends to waste a lot of juice that's still left in the fruit and vegetable fibers. This means you have to push a lot of veggies through the machine to get a relatively small amount of juice.

The shredding action also cuts your food into thousands of tiny pieces and exposes them to oxidation. Many nutritionists believe this causes a rapid loss in the nutritional quality of the juice. The shredding action may also physically damage some phytonutrients, reducing the nutritional potency of the juice you get. (Personally, I've always wondered how much of the nutrition is lost during this process...)

The problem with masticating / twin-gear juicers
Twin-gear (masticating) juicers produce far better quality juice than centrifugal juicers. They slowly squeeze wheat grass, sprouts or other fruits and vegetables through a single-gear or twin-gear process that extracts more juice than centrifugal juicers.

That's why most "hard core" vegans and juicers have been using twin-gear juicers for several years. The problem with these machines, at least in my experience, is that they are very slow at making juice and they take a long time to disassemble, clean and reassemble. They're also extremely heavy and quite expensive compared to centrifugal juicers.

I owned a twin-gear juicer for years that just sat in my kitchen cupboard because I got tired of messing with all the assembly and cleaning tasks. Centrifugal juicers were so much faster and easier to clean!

Introducing "slow juice" from the Hurom Slow Juicer
Now a new, breakthrough juicing appliance overcomes all the shortcomings of both centrifugal juicers and masticating juicers. The Hurom slow juicer is a truly remarkable machine that takes a quantum leap forward in juicing technology. This machine is simply amazing -- and it has already become a permanent appliance in my own kitchen.

The machine produces juice FASTER than a centrifugal juicer, yet it doesn't have any fast-moving parts: No centrifugal basket, no shredding your fruits and veggies, and no loud noise. I love making juice with this appliance!

It's lighter and less expensive than twin-gear juicers, and yet it produces just as much juice as they do! Plus, it's super versatile because it can make almond milk, soy milk, sesame milk or even rice milk, too!

The secret is the "slow juice" technology developed by the Hurom company. This technology uses "triturating" technology that "rubs" the juice out of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. It uses only a single spiral gear, not twin gears, and the simplicity and cleverness of the design make it an upright appliance on your countertop -- so it looks like a centrifugal juicer, but it functions in a whole new way.

I absolutely LOVE this juicer!
My experience with the Hurom Slow Juicer has been extremely positive. It really is "revolutionary." The first time I made juice with it, I could see the difference immediately: It was truly an eye-opening experience.

I've been using the machine for a while now, and I've come to find that it has twelve key benefits I'd like to share with you from my own personal experience:

Benefit #1: MORE juice from the same veggies means lower juicing costs
Because the Hurom Slow Juicer is a far more efficient extraction technology than you'll find in centrifugal juicers, you get more juice out of the same quantity of fruits and vegetables.

This means total lower juicing costs because you'll use a smaller quantity of fresh produce to make the same quantity of juice! Given the high price of organic fruits and vegetables, this means the Hurom Slow Juicer can pay for itself in savings on fresh produce.

Really, you'll see the difference the very first time you juice with the Hurom Slow Juicer.

Benefit #2: LESS oxidation of your juice means MORE nutrition
The Hurom Slow Juicer doesn't "shred" your juice with fast-spinning blades. This prevents oxidation of your juice -- the chemical process that causes air to react with the juice and deplete its valuable nutrients.

The fresh juice extracted by the Hurom Slow Juicer is the most nutritionally potent juice you can make at home. The more you're aware of the amazing healing qualities of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, the more you'll appreciate Hurom's "trituration" technology that protects juice from oxidation.

Benefit #3: FASTER juice production makes juicing more convenient
The Hurom Slow Juicer isn't actually "slow" to produce juice. In terms of the ounces of juice you get per minute, it's just as fast (or faster) than using a centrifugal juicer!

This makes it a whole lot faster than typical twin-gear juicers, so you can produce juice for yourself or even the whole family in mere minutes. You'll love the time savings you'll experience with this juicer.

Benefit #4: SLOW juicing gears makes juicing safer for families and children
The Hurom Slow Juicer has no dangerous, fast-spinning parts like whirling blades or metal baskets. The motor turns slowly and steadily, producing a surprisingly large amount of juice from a very slow rotation -- hence the name "slow juicer."

You'll be amazed at how much juice this machine extracts even with such a seemingly "slow" motion! And because it's safe and quiet, you can get the children involved in the fun of making their own juice. They can actually watch the juice being separated from the pulp. It's fun to watch this juicer work!

Benefit #5: It makes NUT MILKS, too!
This is so cool... I've been using my Hurom Slow Juicer to make fresh raw almond milk. It's amazing! I just soak the almonds for 8 hours, rinse them, then chuck them into the Hurom juicer with some water.

The fresh almond milk pours out! And there's no mess: No nut milk bags, no cooking, no straining and no complications. Put almonds in and you get almond milk out -- almost instantly! This alone makes the machine worth every dollar (in my opinion, anyway, because I drink a lot of almond milk).

You can also use the Hurom Slow Juicer to make soy milk, sesame milk or even oat milk or rice milk! It's a milk-making machine at the same time it's a world-class juicer.

Benefit #6: LESS noise keeps your kitchen peaceful and quiet
Centrifugal juicers are loud. The grinding and shredding noises can be disturbing to a peaceful kitchen, and they can even wake up sleeping family members if you juice in the morning.

But the Hurom Slow Juicer is so quiet it might be called a "silent juicer." It makes no more noise than a bread mixer and far less noise than a blender or a typical juicer.

Benefit #7: LESS waste is more ecological, too
The fact that the Hurom Slow Juicer makes more juice from less fresh produce isn't just good for your pocketbook -- it's also good for the planet!

Why? Because producing fruits and vegetables requires energy and effort. Transporting those foods also requires fossil fuels. The more nutrients you can extract from the same fixed amount of fresh produce, the lower your use of limited natural resources.

Efficient juicing is eco-juicing -- it's good for you and good for the planet at the same time.

Benefit #8: The juice TASTES better!
I don't yet know why -- perhaps it has something to do with the lack of oxidation -- but the juice extracted by the Hurom Slow Juicer is super delicious!

Everybody tells me much the same thing: "Wow! This juice tastes better than the juice you usually make. What's the difference?" The only difference is that I'm now using the Hurom Slow Juicer instead of the centrifugal juicer I previously preferred. Try it yourself: I believe you'll really taste the difference!

Benefit #9: No FOAM
Are you tired of the "juice foam" produced by centrifugal juicers? That foam is a result of the high-speed mixing of the juice with air. It's a side effect of centrifugal juicing.

The Hurom juicer produces virtually no foam! What you get is pure, liquid juice. There's virtually no foam and no oxidation. It's simply the juice you expect to get from a high-end juicing machine.

Benefit #10: EASY to clean!
If you're like me, time is tight. We want to prepare our juice as efficiently as possible and get on with the day. But part of the task involves cleaning the juicer.

You'll be happy to learn that the Hurom Slow Juicer isn't slow when it comes to cleaning: It's blazing fast! It rinses easily and cleans up in the same time as a typical centrifugal juicer. Plus, you don't have the scrub the basket to remove the pulp...

Benefit #11: It's lighter and more PORTABLE than other juicers
This is the really cool part about the Hurom Slow Juicer: It's light enough that you can take it with you!

Bring it to a friend's house or a party... show your friends this amazing new juicing technology and let them taste the difference themselves!

The Hurom Slow Juicer weighs roughly the same as a regular centrifugal juicer, meaning it's a lot lighter than the typical twin-gear juicers. You can even put it in a suitcase and take it with you on a trip -- use it in a hotel! (It's the only real way to get truly healthy food while traveling anywhere...)

Benefit #12: It comes with a 10-year motor warranty!
The Hurom Slow Juicer is built to last, and that's backed by a two-year warranty on the entire unit, plus a ten year warranty on the motor. If anything goes wrong with the juicer within the first two years, replacement (or repair) is fully guaranteed (you'll need to cover shipping your unit to the replacement center in the continental USA, if repair work is needed).

You're also backed by our 90-day satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you don't like the Hurom Slow Juicer, just return it to our store for a full refund (less shipping and handling) at any time during the first three months. Your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back!

This Hurom Slow Juicer is available right now from the NaturalNews Store at the best price you'll find anywhere. We have a limited supply that just arrived from the manufacturer. I know that almost everyone will want one of these, and we will ship them out starting tomorrow on a first-come, first-served basis.

By the way, we also have a 220-volt version available for our friends outside the USA. See the above page for details (it's one of the juicers in the list).

Why I've switched to the Hurom Slow Juicer
I have completely converted my kitchen to the Hurom Slow Juicer. I previously used the Breville centrifugal juicer, and I still highly recommend that machine. Breville is a very high-quality manufacturer of outstanding machines. I still love my Breville!

But this Hurom Slow Juicer takes juice to a whole new level. It's as fast and easy as using the Breville, but it's quieter, it produces more juice, with less foam, and it's actually less expensive than the high-end Breville juicer that I've been recommending (the Juice Fountain Elite).

There are two disadvantages to the Hurom Slow Juicer vs. the Breville, however: The Hurom juicer has a smaller feed chute so you may need to slice fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces before feeding them in. The other disadvantage is that the Hurom juicer isn't made of stainless steel, whereas the Breville Juice Fountain Elite has mostly stainless steel parts (it's a really solid machine).

Despite these two disadvantages, I still prefer the Hurom because it makes BETTER juice, and it makes MORE juice! And that's the bottom line for me: I want to get the most juice out of the produce I'm juicing, and I want the nutritional quality of the juice to be at its maximum.

Join me in juicing with the new Hurom Slow Juicer. You can pick one up right now at the NaturalNews Store - click HERE.

Remember: We're offering this at the lowest price you'll see advertised anywhere, and it comes with FREE shipping in the continental 48 states. Our satisfaction guarantee makes your purchase completely risk-free, and every Hurom juicer is covered by a two-year warranty (plus a ten-year warranty on the motor).

Enjoy juicing with the Hurom!

After horrible deaths caused by medical radiation mistakes are uncovered, medical group issues (sort of) an apology

Date: Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 PDT
(NaturalNews) In late January, the New York Times published a startling and groundbreaking series of reports by investigative reporter Walt Bogdanich who has uncovered case after case of people who suffered devastating consequences -- including horrendously painful, torture-like deaths -- because of medical mistakes related to radiation treatment. In response to these articles, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) just issued a statement saying the group and its members "deeply regret that these events have occurred, and we continue to work hard to reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future."

Nowhere in the statement does the AAPM acknowledge specifically what events they are talking about -- and they do not even mention the almost incomprehensible human suffering connected to these unnamed "events". Instead, the AAPM is clearly most interested in pacifying the public so they won't be worried about the dangers associated with medical radiation.

As the statement puts it, the AAPM "seeks to reassure the public on the safety of radiation therapy, which is safely and effectively used to treat hundreds of thousands of people with cancer and other diseases every year in the United States. Medical physicists in hospitals and clinics across the United States are board-certified professionals who play a key role in assuring quality during these treatments."

That reassurance is likely to mean little to the friends and relatives of people killed by medical radiation. No doubt, these patients were assured before their treatment began that their radiation was state-of-the-art western medicine, delivered by highly trained medical professionals.

Horrifying deaths caused by "medical" radiation
For example, Bogdanich reported on the heartbreaking tale of Scott Jerome-Parks who was literally irradiated to death. While he was being treated for tongue cancer, staff in a New York City hospital didn't notice a computer error was directing a linear accelerator to zap Jerome-Parks' brain stem and neck with off-target beams of high-dose radiation on three consecutive days.

He was left deaf, almost blind, burned, and unable to swallow. His teeth fell out among the ulcers lacing his mouth and throat. He died, in excruciating pain, weeks after his radiation "treatment" at the age of 43.

The very day a warning was issued to other hospitals to be more careful with radiation, Bogdanich pointed out in his report, at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn a 32-year-old woman with breast cancer was subjected to a huge radiation overdose -- three times the prescribed amount. And it didn't stop there. This intense irradiation of her body went on for 27 days until it burned a hideous, open hole into her chest. The young mother of two young children suffered horrendous pain and then died a month after Jerome-Parks.

Unfortunately, anyone who is assured by the AAPM's public relations statement about the intrinsic safety of medical radiation is simply not well informed. One worrisome concern is the fact Americans are being exposed to cancer-causing radiation in huge numbers -- the average lifetime dose of diagnostic radiation Americans receive has gone up 600 percent in the last three decades (http://www.naturalnews.com/025767_cancer_NaturalNews_X-rays.html). In addition, when safety rules are overlooked or the incredibly complex and high powered 21st century radiation devices have a glitch, the consequences clearly can be disastrous.

And while the AAPM may want patients to think mistakes involving medical radiation are so rare as to be nothing to worry about, the fact is more and more of these tragedies have been reported over the past few years. For example, NaturalNews has previously reported on the death of a teenager who received a massive overdose of radiation (http://www.naturalnews.com/020824_cancer_cancer_treatments_oncology.html) and how patients receiving CT brain scans at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles unknowingly received large overdoses of radiation over a course of 18 months (http://www.naturalnews.com/027541_radiation_medical_imaging.html).

Research Suggests Marine Oil may Prevent Alzheimer's Disease

Date: Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 PDT
(NaturalNews) While doctors are prescribing expensive drugs that can have devastating side effects to slow the progress of Alzheimer`s, new research shows it might be possible to prevent the onset of this cruel disease by something as simple, inexpensive, and safe as a dose of marine oil every day during our younger years.

In the US, as many as 5.3 million people live with Alzheimer`s. That number is predicted to double every 20 years.1 The latest medical thinking is that the escalating rate of Alzheimer`s disease has its roots in chronic inflammation that`s a result of the modern diet deficient in omega 3 fatty acids.

The first symptoms of Alzheimer`s generally appear after age 60. Such symptoms include memory problems, loss of motor control, and problems with one`s sense of smell. But according to the National Institute on Aging, the damage that eventually turns into Alzheimer`s disease can begin to occur 20 years before the first symptoms appear. It makes sense, therefore, to do whatever one can to prevent the process from beginning. The good news is that a substance found in nature could offer the best new hope for prevention.

While some people have drawn a genetic short straw that predisposes them to develop Alzheimer`s disease, the latest medical research has identified chronic inflammation as the first stage in the process. For example, one team of researchers found that people whose blood carried the markers for inflammation, called cytokines, were more likely to go on to develop Alzheimer`s disease than test subjects without cytokines.2

Discovery of the link between inflammation and Alzheimer`s has led to research on the potential for anti-inflammatories to prevent the onset of the disease. In one study, a team of researchers tested a synthetic anti-inflammatory drug for the prevention of Alzheimer`s disease. They found that the anti-inflammatory drug "appeared to protect mild to moderately impaired Alzheimer`s disease patients from the degree of cognitive decline exhibited by a well-matched placebo-treated group."3

While synthetic prescription anti-inflammatories may be beneficial as an Alzheimer`s preventative, the side effects of their long-term use can be serious. Consequently, doctors have been looking for safer options for their Alzheimer`s patients. One way to address chronic inflammation is by adding therapeutic omega 3 fatty acids to the diet. Eating more omega 3 rich cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna is helpful, but a better way to boost omega 3 levels is by taking a dietary supplement.

The best sources of omega 3 are marine oils, usually sold as fish oil capsules derived from salmon. The most potent omega 3 marine oil found to date is derived from the green-lipped mussel of New Zealand. At the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, Australia, Dr. Michael Whitehouse PhD compared stabilized mussel oil with other anti-inflammatory agents, which included several prescription medications. At a dose of 5mg per kilogram of body weight, the stabilized mussel oil was found to be 97 percent effective in reducing inflammation, and 350 times more potent than salmon oil as a source of omega 3. Dr. Whitehouse concluded that the mussel oil was clearly a superior medicinal compound, because it achieved the desired result without the side effects that accompanied synthetic anti-inflammatories.

Since inflammation has been shown to be a culprit behind a great many conditions--from heart disease and arthritis to asthma and Alzheimer`s--it makes sense to get more omega 3 into one`s diet. High-potency marine oil, such as that derived from the New Zealand green-lipped mussel, may be the answer.
