Reddit mentions of Omega Vertical Low Speed Juicer, 150-Watt, Silver

I own the Omega VRT 350 and while I love it, the narrow pulp ejection chute gets clogged every single time. Be it a tiny bit of ginger, some diced celery or pineapple, that sucker gets jammed up. This review says it best.

NOW is the time for you both to investigate alternative cancer treatment.

To fight cancer the body needs the right nutrition, removal of toxins and irritants, and therapy that's non-toxic to normal cells. Standard treatments are not wildly successful and can actually cause new cancers; they also disfigure and/or destroy the body and its immune system, making it harder for natural remedies to work if they are tried in desperation when conventional treatments fail, as they frequently do.

The first step your family should take is to move to an alkalysing diet that emphasises fresh (and mostly raw) pesticide-free (organic or biodynamic or home-grown) vegetables and fruits. Carrot and beetroot juices every day can be beneficial. Any meat should be not the largest portion on the plate and very lightly cooked or eaten raw (e.g. sushi/sashimi, or steak tartare), to preserve the enzymes it contains (this is important as protein-digesting enzymes are needed to fight cancer cells. If you cook meat through, all its enzymes are destroyed and the body has to supply all the enzymes to process it, diverting them from the cancer fight).

An important nutrient linked to preventing breast tissue abnormalities is iodine. Many are deficient in this substance: besides not getting enough in the first place, it's also displaced by other halides such as fluoride, chlorine (both of these in drinking water), and bromine (the latter is used in bread production). The best dietary source is kelp, or seaweed. Japanese women who eat their traditional, kelp-rich diet have one of the lowest rates of breast cancer in the world. Check out Iodine: Why you need it, and why you can't live without it by Dr David Brownstein.

Your family should also move to eliminate refined carbohydrates from your diet. No more sugar, bread, pizza, white rice, pasta, cakes, biscuits/cookies, muffins or other flour products (the book Life Without Bread is very good). Cancer feeds on sugar; cancer cells have more insulin receptors than normal cells, and they can also make an insulin like substance that allows them to absorb up to around 15 or 16 times more than a normal cell. This fact can be used in various ways, including IPT and PET scans in the medical world, and is used in the alternative therapy world too (fruits like apples and apricots have sweet flesh with bitter seeds which contain an anti-cancer substance called amygdalin (aka "vitamin B17"); there is also a maple syrup + bicarb therapy (important to take magnesium too with this, so you don't upset your calcium/magnesium balance).

Avoid anything containing soy, as most commercial soy products are unfermented and thus will block iodine absorption as well as protein & mineral uptake. Avoid anything containing high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Avoid artificial colourings, flavourings (including MSG, year extract, hydrolyzed anything), and artificial sweeteners. Do not cook with polyunsaturated oil - it is fragile and oxidises readily under heat or light. Monounsaturated oils are best for salads, and saturated fats are far more stable under heat and are the healthiest to cook with. Don't use margarine - butter is better (also contains vitamins A and K2).

Cod-liver oil is an important source of vitamins A & D, which work together. Vitamin D is essential for proper immune system function; your wife needs hers in tip-top condition. A warming sit in the sun every day will allow the skin to produce vitamin D (sulphur and cholesterol are needed for this reaction; eggs contain both of these things). In the winter, or if indoors for extended periods, cod liver oil is essential.

Vitamin C in large intravenous doses has been shown to be effective in attacking cancer in a way that is non-toxic to normal cells. Taking vitamin C orally can help, but it's not as effective as the intravenous method. A good vitamin C formulation will contain bioflavonoids, and will balance calcium with other minerals such as magnesium and potassium, like this one. That brand also contains zinc, which is an important mineral if you are going to be using amygdalin (vitamin B17) therapy.

Websites to help you start your research include: Gerson.org, Cancure.org, CancerTutor.com. An excellent book enumerating a number of alternative therapies is available from CancerTruth.net.

Documentaries that you will find helpful include: The Gerson Miracle, Food Matters, The Beautiful Truth & Dying to Have Known (online here; 1hr 19 min), Healing Cancer from Inside Out, Burzynski: The Movie, and the excellent new 2011 film Cancer is Curable NOW (you can find them on Amazon.com & elsewhere).

Don't despair, there are better methods to try than the drastic and barbaric conventional ones. Don't let orthodoxy awe you with impressive terminology, play upon your fears, and tell you everything but their advice is "wrong" in order to quickly usher you into their agenda. Cancer is not generally going to cause someone to drop dead suddenly: take a week or three and do some thorough reading and research. Get an idea for what is available before making a treatment choice. Meanwhile, you can start changing your diet today: everyone in the family will benefit, not just your wife!

That guy is pretty intense, but that Omega is definitely a great juicer option, if not the best option. Just throwing that out there.
