Immersion Hand Blender

Immersion Hand Blender

An Immersion Blender is needed in order to mix the Flax Oil with the Cottage Cheese or Quark. A regular blender won't work as the mixture will get stuck under the blades, unless of course you are mixing enough quantity to feed a large family. And mixing by hand using a fork or an eggbeater will also not work - you really need a high-speed blender to combine the oil with the cheese.

Masticating Type Juicer

Masticating Juicer

You will need a masticating type juicer. With these juicers, the juice is first extracted through a crushing stage and, before the pulp is ejected, it is then squeezed during a second pressing stage; resulting in more juice, and drier pulp. The best advice is to buy the best juicer you can afford. The Omega Juicer ($290) is great and not too expensive so I recommend it. Others like the Norwalk Juicer ($2,500) can be pricey, but are very strong and durable.

According to a study by Michael Donaldson, PhD, we have concluded that using the Omega Juicer to only grind in combination with the Peoples Juice Press, to then press the juice, is actually the best combination that produces the most juice with the most nutrients and enzimes, better than the Norwalk. Note that in this study the Champion Juicer is used to juice carrots, however this machine is not recommended for leafy greens, therefore I do not recommend it. Note also that centrifugal juicers are cheaper but also not recommended. They have a more difficult time effectively extracting high yields of juice from grassed and leafy foods like wheatgrass, spinach, lettuce, parsley and other greens and herbs.

Conclusion: So if you are not able to purchase the stand alone Norwalk juicer ($2,500), I suggest investing in the Omega Juicer ($290) as a start and then purchasing the Peoples Press ($490).

Coffee Grinder

Coffee or Flax Seed Grinder

Dr. Budwig explains that Flax Seeds must be ground fresh and eaten within 15 minutes. Any coffee grinder will work and specialty seed grinders are another option. Remember to never grind the seeds into a powder, only grind them roughly.

In order to protect the grounded seeds from oxidation Dr. Budwig created her Linomel cereal recipe by mixing the ground seeds with honey and a little milk powder. Besides the Linomel-Muesli recipes, she advised adding Linomel to fresh juices. Remember to chew the seeds well while drinking to stimulate the digestion.
