The concept of drinking living juice was first introduced by Dr. Norman Walker (1874-1983). Dr. Norman Walker declared that the enzymes in fruit and vegetables die at temperatures which exceed 42 degrees Celsius.

Dr. Norman Walker explained that any juice extractor that used high speed blade or centrifuge created friction heat leading to the destruction of enzymes.

Background:
Dr. Norman founded and opened the Norman Laboratories of Health Research in 1910, where he studied the beneficial effects of raw food consumption, and also how raw food can used in the prevention of disease, resulting in keeping the body and mind much healthier.

Living juice produced by slow crushing is nutritionally far superior and will last for up to 48 - 72 hours in a refrigerator.

Enter the Norwalk Juicer:
In 1934 Dr. Norman Walker designed the multi-step, hydraulic press 'Norwalk Juicer' in the USA, and this old fashioned machine is still available from some suppliers today (USA) and sells for approximately $3,000 AUD.

Using the hydraulic press Norwalk Juicer:
Juicing with a Norwalk Juicer is, well... different.

There are many ways of using the Norwalk Juicer, however from time to time most of them will result in the dreaded 'whole kitchen clean-up' scenario, when one of the LINEN BAGS or 'CLOTHS' used in the process leaks in the hydraulic press, spewing juice all over the wall, the floor and anyone in the vicinity!

You can also get soaked during the 'trituration' process by what is called 'blow back.' that can occur when putting for example a tomato into the chute. It can explode back out at you! Or it may just squirt a little over your kitchen cupboards.

Keep in mind that this is a machine from the 1930s, and believe it or not, is still being built in the same way. The machine is still complicated to use efficiently, and it is still so very easy to make a mess. The manufacturer of this machine has not improved it by sealing its systems and processes, nor automated it. Juicing in this laborious way is certainly a trip back in time, and the process is sufficiently repellent that most people will never want to repeat such an experience again - despite the wonderful health benefits.

Latest cold press juicers:
Even though the Model T Ford was a fantastic, highly coveted car in the early 1900's, very few people(if anyone) still actually drives these cars today. The allurement of modern radial tuned suspension, electric windows, power steering, climate control etc, have proven to be an extremely heavy inducement away from old fashioned vintage cars.

Likewise, modern cold press juicers have mostly replaced the old fashioned two step hydraulic press Norwalk Juicer and associated linen bags, as the later model cold press juicers are:

• lighter
• quieter
• smaller
• much easier to clean
• much easier to operate
• no horrible soggy bag taste
• no need to wash 20-30 bags
• and are much less expensive
• and in the case of the stainless steel Angel Juicer, it extracts the same
  amount of juice
• and in the case of the stainless steel Angel Juicer, it extracts a slightly
  better quality, richer tasting juice due to even less oxidation

The most important choice you can make is to start drinking cold press juice immediately. Your body will love you for it!

[Note: JUICERS AUSTRALIA does not supply the Norwalk Juicer for the reasons listed above.]

Dr. Norman Walker actually drank mainly distilled water and vegetable juices, to assure that he wasn't drinking inorganic minerals such as are contained in the majority of water sources on the planet. Dr. Norman Walker actually states that distilled water is not only VOID of all inorganic minerals, but it also helps to leach out ONLY the harmful inorganic minerals from the body, which are then eliminated through our urine. Many people think that distilled water is leaching out our good minerals because urine tests show that when you drink distilled water, minerals show up within urine. What is actually showing up in the urine is the ejected inorganic minerals. Dr Norman Walker says that leaching organic bio-available minerals that have already been utilized is impossible and he gives an explanation about this in his book "Water Can Undermine Your Health."

Just like Dr Norman Walker, in my opinion, only harmful inorganic minerals are being leached out of the body when a person drinks distilled water. Additionally, Dr Norman Walker is the only raw food pioneer I know of who made it close to or past the century mark. Norman Walker ate small amounts of food, was careful about what he drank to avoid inorganic minerals, lived in a place and time where air pollution wasn't so intense, and he practiced colon hydrotherapy on a periodic basis.
