Preparation of Juices

The Gerson Therapy emphasizes specific preparation methods to preserve nutrients and maximize the health benefits of juices:

1. Use of a Specialized Juicer:
   • Two-step juicers, including grinding and pressing, are recommended.
   • This method retains enzymes and nutrients better than centrifugal juicers.
2. Organic Ingredients:
   • All fruits and vegetables must be organic to avoid pesticides and other toxins.
3. Fresh Preparation:
   • Juices are prepared fresh and consumed immediately to ensure nutrient potency.
4. Regular Consumption:

   • Juices are integrated into the therapy’s hourly schedule to maintain a consistent supply of nutrients.
