essential minerals and phytonutrient in juices,
with the latest juicing technology.




Q:  Is the juicer you're using safe for your family?

If you have been drinking your fresh juices extracted from your normal centrifugal juicer, you could probably be doing harm to your body !!

You probably know that fresh fruit juice is good for you.  But if you are like most Malaysians, you are probably using a normal centrifugal juicer to extract your juice.  Here's the shocking truth:

Two very critical reasons why drinking juices extracted by a centrifugal juicer either do no good for your body, or can actually do harm to your body:

  Juice extracted with a centrifugal juicer is VOID of enzymes, nutrients and vitamins so it does NO good for you.

A centrifugal juicer works by cutting up the fruits with a sharp blade and spins the chopped up produce at a very high speed (of about 3,000 to 7,000 RPM) to separate the juice from the pulp. 

This method of juice extraction actually destroys the enzymes and nutrients. The water is spin out very much like how a washing machine spins dry your wet clothes.  What is extracted?  Only the water.  What happened to the enzymes and nutrients?  They are still embedded in the pulp which is expelled and that you throw away.

I did a little experiment by juicing an apple using both a centrifugal juicer and an Alpha Juicer.  I noted that the juice extracted from a centrifugal juicer is only just clear brown juice¾void of nutrients.  (See picture below).
 

  Juice is oxidized.  Oxidized juice is in effect, spoiled juice.

As you know now, the centrifugal juicer works by spinning the produce at a very high speed of 3,000 to 7,000 RPM.  This high speed spinning actually traps a lot of air into the juice and quickly oxidize the juice and continue to rapidly oxidize the juice.

Oxidation is what happens when a cut apple exposed to the air turns brown.  In other words, the iron content in apple rusts.  This process quickens when an apple is cut and spin at a very high speed. 

Rusts (imagine a rusty nail), when consumed into our body, is toxic and thus creates havoc in our body system.  Oxidation in our body has been known to be one of the major causes of many degenerative diseases in our times.

You can do this test at home, if you have a centrifugal juicer.  Try juicing an apple and pour it into a clear glass.  Leave it for just one minute, for the juice to settle.  You will notice that the foam is very brown and the water is clear brown (void of enzymes and nutrients, it is just the water content).

Here's a little photo I have taken to show you the difference in the juices produced by both a single-gear juicer (on the left) and a centrifugal juicer (on the right).

Now, here's the good news

You have not arrived at this page by accident. You are here because you have been searching for a solution to a health issue, or maybe the health issue of a loved one, or even simply because you have realized the importance of healthy living.

I have used and am still using a single-gear juicer for the past more than five years.  I have been very passionate about it for the amazing things that it can do for me.  During this time, my health has improved in many ways as I make juicing and healthy-eating a permanent lifestyle, with this juicer as my faithful companion.

Read about how drinking fresh juices have helped improve my health tremendously.  (Will open a new window)

The information I am sharing with you on this site comes from years of personal hands-on juicing experience and many hundreds of hours of research.  It is important when you purchase a juicer, be sure you purchase from one who knows the inside out about juicing and juicers, not one who's out to make your money.

As you continue to read and understand about the goodness of a gear juicer, you will never want to drink from a centrifugal juicer again.

Q:  Who needs a single/twin-gear juicer and why?

You and I do.  Every modern home needs a gear juicer.

Diseases like Alzheimer's, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, eczema, fibromyalgia, gout, migraine, osteoporosis, the dreaded cancer, etc., are modern man's diseases.  These diseases were hardly heard of just about 50 years ago, but they are now rampant because of our modern-day diet.  (Read modern health.)

If you cook food over high fire or microwave, if you eat processed foods, cured meat, or if you eat foods made of (any kind of) flour, then you fall into the category of the modern person, eating a modern-day diet, living in a modern home.  Then YOU are a likely candidate for a modern-day disease.
 

How healthy do you think you are?

Here's a little graph to show you the stage you are at with your health. Most diseases start from a simple inflammation or a discharge that you would ignore (see Stage 1 in chart below). 

Then you start feeling fatigue, constipated, have a headache, or lower backache or even simple skin blemishes.  These are all signs of the beginning of your poor health (see Stage 2 in chart below).  If at this stage, you start to realize and take action and start eating and living healthy, there might yet be hope that your problem may be reversed.

When the doctor start declaring that you have high-blood pressure or cholesterol, or you have asthma or worse, serious joint pains or even tumors, you would know that you are at Stage 3 where you chronically encounter very poor and weak health.

Don't wait till you reach Stage 3 or 4 before you start doing anything.  It might then be too late.  Help is now available.  The answer is in nutrition.  Follow the nutrition guide on this site to recover your health now!  And I mean, taking your nutrition in the freshest and purest form, through fresh fruit/vegetable juicing.

Q:  What are the differences between a centrifugal juicer and a single/twin-gear juicer?

What's so special about a gear juicer?

If you don't already understand the difference between a centrifugal juicer and a single or a twin-gear juicer, please go to these pages, and learn about the differences in more detail:

As far as I know, I have not yet come across a single/twin-gear juicer being sold at our Malaysian local electrical shops or supermarkets.  Even though the cost of a single/twin-gear is a little bit more than a centrifugal juicer, they are far more superior in every sense¾built, operation, output quality, features, functions, etc.

The method of extracting the juice makes the whole world of difference in the quality and the health properties content of the juice.

 

Here's an inside look at the differences
between a centrifugal and a single/twin-gear juicer.
I bet you never really looked at them this way.

CENTRIFUGAL JUICER

SINGLE/TWIN-GEAR JUICER

Spins at high RPM (between 3,000 ~ 7,000).  You are deprived of the precious nutrients and enzymes that get destroyed using this method.

Spins at a low RPM of between 80 and 160 in a stone-milling or grinding method that helps preserve the phytonutrients and enzymes.  These are the properties that help to speed up your healing process.

The high RPM spinning traps a lot of air  that quickly oxidize your juice.  Oxidation is dangerous to your body as it is a major cause of many diseases.

The slow RPM spinning continues to preserve the freshness of your produce.  Freshness can be preserved much longer without juice oxidizing.

Produces a lot of foam in the juice that shows the amount of air trapped in the juice.

Produces much less foam.

Uses a sharp blade to chop up the produce, then spins out the water content of the produce in high-speed, leaving behind the precious nutrients and enzymes.  End-result tastes very diluted.  Oxidized juice has a metallic taste (of rust).

Uses a stone-milling or grinding method to squeeze out not only the juice, but also 99% of the precious nutrients and enzymes. This causes the juice to taste much sweeter, with thicker texture that is packed with vitamins and nutrients.

Cannot juice leafy vegetables.

Very effective in juicing any vegetable, root vegetable, wheatgrass, etc.  Allows you to enjoy the many wonderful benefits of chlorophyll more effectively.

Pulp is still wet, producing low juice yield.

Pulp is dry, juice yield is about 20-35% more than that produced by a centrifugal juice.  Very economical in the long-run.

Many parts to wash, time consuming ~ causing you to lose interest in juicing.

Very few parts and very easy to clean.  Washing takes less than 2 minutes. Time-saving.

Chemical and pesticides that are not cleansed away properly will be included in the juice, causing sickness in the long-run.

Can separate the chemicals and pesticides in the pulp.  Gives you a chemical-free juice as Nature intended it to be. A twin-gear juicer can even separate heavy metals with its bio-magnetic technology.

Functions are limited.  Normally used only for juicing.

Usually has 6 to 9 functions built into 1.  Definitely more value for money!

Operation is noisy due to the high-speed spinning.

Operation is almost silent.

Q:  What are the differences between a single-gear and a twin-gear juicer?

 

The differences are minimal but yet vast.  How is that possible?

 

Both the single-gear and twin-gear juicers basically operate on the same concept, that is by crushing and grinding the produce fed into them.  This method of extracting juice is highly effective in preserving the precious nutrients and enzymes of the fruits/vegetables.  Yet, at the same time, able to separate the pesticides and chemicals from the juice.

 

These two factors alone are good enough reasons for you to switch from a centrifugal to either a single or twin-gear juicer.  The tremendous benefits from this method of juice extraction far outweigh the small price you pay for these juicers.

 

After drinking juices juiced from using either a single or twin-gear juicer, you will never turn back to drinking juices juiced from a centrifugal juicer.  And of course, if you have never drank the juices from gear juicers, you would never know what you are missing!  In fact, your juicing effort might just take you nowhere, sorry to say.

 

The vast differences ...

 

To a beginner, there is no difference between the two (except the built).  The vast differences can only be felt or detected when you are familiar with drinking juices from gear juicers.  So, if you are a beginner, don't worry about the differences.

 

If you own and have been juicing with a single-gear juicer, the twin-gear juicer will be the ultimate juicer that you should aim for, it's premier.  The twin-gear juicer produces superior juices that are exceptionally beneficial for people who are looking for the ultimate healing tool. 

 

This is possible because of the technology breakthrough concerted on this equipment.  The quality of the juice is simply outstanding and can only be appreciated by those who know and understand the concept of the effect of the built-in magnetic field and far-infrared technology.

Q:  Which juicer should I choose between these?

 

Make an informed decision

 

Have you checked out the juicer comparisons?

 

All these new information may seem overwhelming to you right now.  But you understand now that you need to switch from your centrifugal juicer to a gear juicer.  Which one should you choose?  It is really not a difficult decision if you are well-informed.  I have already done all the hard research for you.  All you need to do is just read and understand and ask if you don't.

 

Go and read through my personal review on each of these juicers.  As one who is passionate about juicing, I am able to give you my honest opinion about the pros and cons of each juicer.  Understand what each juicer can do and see which particularly appeals to you.

 

The single-gear Alpha Juicer operates on the same concept, using a single-gear.  The Alpha Juicer is actually the newer model (or an upgrade) from the Matstone juicer (phased out). When you understand the differences between these juicers, the cost would no longer be an issue.  If any of the particular juicer appeal to you, and whichever juicer you choose to buy, you would have made an important step towards a healthier lifestyle.  These two models are recommended here because in the long run, they are all a healthier option and definitely more economical, considering the amount you save on medical bills later.

If you are a Malaysian, please take note

 

As a fellow Malaysian, I would like to highlight to you something that you may overlook in your enthusiasm.

 

I have come across a few people who have bought gear juicers from other countries and later encounter problems when they use it locally.  The most common problem would be that the motor fused.  And then they have a problem getting it replaced or service as the vendor is from outside Malaysia.

 

Note:  The problem is NOT because of the poor make but rather that the foreign model is just simply NOT compatible to be used in our country.  The difference in the voltage of the foreign equipment is different from that used here.  And the fluctuation in our local electricity voltage doesn't help any.

 

This is not to discourage you, but rather to share with you as a friend, what you may otherwise overlook.  Don't be "penny wise pound foolish".

 

The juice extractor that you are about to purchase from this site is made with the correct specifications for our Malaysia environment.  It comes with warranty and efficient local technical support.  I also provide a personal 30-day guarantee that you may not get with other vendors.  This is another benefit of doing business with Juicing-for-health.com, a site where integrity is not compromised.


 

If you are from outside Malaysia, and interested, please email me to clarify.
