A Well Stocked Kitchen

Juicer- Juicing is the key to gaining and maintaining optimal health. I recommend a Champion Juicer. This juicer, in addition to making fresh vegetable and fruit juices, can be used for making baby food, nut butters, soft banana/fruit "ice cream", and apple sauce. It retails for around $300. It is dependable and easy to use. I do not recommend a "centrifugal" (spinning basket)juicer, because this method is not a sufficient means of breaking open the cell to extract vital nutrients into the juice.

Water Distiller- I believe distilled water is the best water for you. There is conflicting information on this, so please decide for yourself. Distillers can be pricey. If you are unable to obtain a distiller (I don't even own one), I would recommend a Berkey. I do own one of these, it is awesome.

Food Dehydrator- is a wonderful machine that allows food to be preserved using a low heat process. When purchasing a dehydrator, it is vitally important that it have a thermostat that can be set at 107 degrees or lower. Any dehydrator lacking a thermostat, likely will reach temps high enough to kill all the enzymes and destroy many other nutrients.

Vita-Mix or Blendtec Blender- This is on my wish list! These blenders do what no other blender can do, they are nothing short of amazing. The Vita-Mix retails for about $400, and the Blendtec for about $600. Make smoothies, dips, grind flour, make spreads, nut butters, raw sauces, dressings and soups.

Other Misc.- A large cutting board, food processor, sharp knives, stainless steel or glass saucepans (no aluminum, or non-stick), a hand-juicer, a good vegetable peeler.

Dispose of aluminum cookware, and your microwave oven, or give it to a relative you don't like :)
