Text: I would like to sell my SoloStarII Juicer. I have only used it only once and it is in MINT condition. I have been lazy and it has just been sitting around not being used. Once again, juicing does wonders for the body.
Here is a description of the juicer:
SoloStar II Juicer. The SoloStar has been replaced by the new SoloStar II Juicer. SoloStar's single-auger juicing mechanism gently masticates produce to extract juice of exceptionally high nutritional quality. Because its auger spins at only 80 RPM, the SoloStar is able to yield "live" juice in which vital enzyme activity is maintained and nutritional value is maximized. Other masticating juicers on the market employ a high-RPM process, which heats produce in the juicing process. This excess heat not only causes juice to be unpleasantly warm, but can actually destroy precious vitamins & minerals, and diminish enzyme activity. The high-RPM masticating juicers also introduce excess air, which in combination with heat, may also accelerate oxidation. On the other hand, SoloStar's gentle juicing process minimizes heat and turbulence that can be so damaging to the fragile nutrients contained in freshly extracted juice.
Unlike the SoloStar, high-RPM masticating juicers are also notorious for not being able to handle leafy greens and fibrous vegetables. SoloStar's low-RPM single-auger design makes it able to easily extract juice from a wide variety of produce, including: hard roots like carrots; leafy greens like spinach and kale; fibrous vegetables like celery; a wide assortment of fruits; and even wheatgrass - all without having to stop and change any parts!
SoloStar is also unique in that is features an exclusive dual-stage juicing process to extract more high quality juice from your produce, while mixing in less pulp. Other low-RPM single-auger juicers utilize a single-stage juicing process that is not as efficient as the SoloStar in separating juice from pulp. The SoloStar's unique system extracts juice in two separate stages - it filters out juice during the initial crushing phase before it can be reabsorbed by the pulp; next it squeezes the remaining pulp in a secondary pressing phase to extract every last drop of juice.
The SoloStar is currently the only juicer of its kind - employing a unique dual-stage juicing process in a low-RPM masticating single-auger juice extractor, yielding more juice with less pulp mixed in. Its low-RPM juicing process also yields juice of exceptional nutritional quality. Combined with all this, the SoloStar's versatility also makes it the practical choice for anyone who wants high-quality juice from many different types of produce.
Why Choose the Solo Star II?
Dual-Stage Juicing Process
Solo Star utilizes a unique dual-stage extraction process for greater efficiency compared to other single-auger juicers on the market. It filters out juice during the initial crushing phase before it can be re-absorbed by the pulp, then squeezes the remaining pulp in a secondary pressing phase for maximum yield. The result is a fresher, natural tasting "live juice" from any fruit, vegetable, leafy green, herb or grass you can juice.
Larger Auger
A larger auger means easier juice extraction. Other single-auger juicers have small augers that spend less time in contact with the produce, resulting in a smaller amount of juice being produced. Solo Star’s larger, low-speed auger is in contact with the produce for a longer time, using a dual-stage extraction process to get the most juice from produce.
Versatility
Like all good kitchen products, the Solo Star can do more than just juice. Quickly and easily convert it to a flat pasta, or round noodle maker and mochi mill with the included accessories. Make an entire meal with the Solo Star, from juice, to pasta, to sorbet for desert.
Quality of juice
Solo Star's low-speed auger gently crushes and squeezes produce. Because the juice in not heated during the extraction process, the fragile vitamins, nutrients and enzymes are preserved. Conventional high-speed juicers "fling" the juice around, mixing a lot of air into the juice and expediting the oxidation process, which can damage much of the nutrients and live enzymes. This process can also compromise the fragile taste of the juice. Solo Star delivers all the natural goodness and superior flavour you demand from a top quality juicer.
Durability
Only the highest quality materials go into the production of a Solo Star juicer. Its straightforward design and precise assembly ensure years of trouble-free juicing. Solo Star is UL and CE approved and meets our highest manufacturing standards. Solo Star is covered by a Five Year warranty on parts and service.

Vegetable juicing
Vegetable juicing is critical to good health because it is an important source of raw food. Each of us needs raw foods every day, and juicing is an excellent way to make certain you receive large quantities of such raw foods.
Fruit juicing is certainly good for you, but it has one disadvantage over vegetable juicing: fruit juice tends to increase insulin levels when consumed.
Vegetable juice does not raise insulin levels like fruit juice. The only exception to this would be carrot or beet juice which function similarly to fruit juice. Nevertheless, fruit juicing is certainly better for you and your children than drinking soda, which is a very bad idea.
Why should I juice vegetables rather than eat them whole?
I was first introduced to juicing by the popular motivational speaker Tony Robbins. Tony Robbins has helped me make marked improvements in not only my health but other aspects of my life as well. I highly recommend his life-changing programs.
Many of us have relatively compromised intestines as a result of poor food choices over many years. This limits our bodies' ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables and juicing tends to facilitate this absortion.
Also, vegetable juicing allows you to eat more of the vegetables than you normally would otherwise. By incorporating the juice into your healing diet, you will easily be able to reach the roughly 1 pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight that is generally recommended we should eat every day.
What do I do with the leftover pulp when vegetable juicing?
Ideally it would be best to mix the pulp in with the juice and eat it, since it is high in fiber. The fiber helps to move the bowels rapidly and also serves as fertilizer for the good bacteria present in the colon.
Can I make my vegetable juice in the morning and drink it later in the day?
Although this is much better than not drinking vegetable juice at all, juice is best drank freshly juiced. Vegetable juice is one of the most perishable foods there is and ideally it would be best to drink all of your juice immediately. However, if you are careful you can store your vegetable juice for up to 24 hours with only a moderate nutritional decline.
You can do this by putting the vegetable juice in a glass jar with an airtight lid and filling it to the very top. There should be as little air in the jar as possible because it is the OXYGEN in air that will "oxidize" and damage the juice. Think of a cut apple turning brown when exposed to air.
It's a good idea to use an opaque container to block out all light which would also damage the juice and then store it in the refrigerator until about 30 minutes prior to drinking since ideally the juice should be consumed at room temperature.
What type of vegetables should I juice?
Celery + fennel + cucumbers is a good combination that is easily tolerated by those just starting out with juicing.
Unfortunately these are not as beneficial as the more intense dark green vegetables. Once you get used to these though you can start adding the better, but perhaps less palatable ones in.
Green LEAFY vegetables are the best to use in your vegetable juicing program. All green leafy vegetables work well. The easiest ones to use include all the lettuces including, but not restricted to:
Red leaf lettuce
Green Leaf lettuce
Romaine lettuce
Escarole lettuce
You can then put in some of the other similar green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and cabbage.
Cabbage juice is one of the most healing juices when it comes to repairing an ulcer as it is a huge source of vitamin U.
Herbs also make wonderful combinations. Parsley and cilantro are great in vegetable juice. (My favorite source for organic cilantro in 1 pound bags and other organic herbs is here.)
One important note about the TASTE of vegetable juice
One major objection people raise when talking about vegetable juicing is the TASTE. They can't stand it. I try to get my 9-year old son to drink "green juice", which is a challenge, and so I have to get creative... THERE IS A SOLUTION: I highly recommend you use a few seedless grapes in your vegetable juice. It's a fantastic way to improve the taste of your juice. Adding 2-3 apples also works well.
You can get more ideas for juicing on the juicing recipes page. There are also many juicing books which can help you put together a solid juicing program.
You must rotate the vegetables you are using in your vegetable juicing program!
It is very important to not have the same vegetables every day. the chances are quite high that if you keep juicing the same vegetables for any significant length of time you will become allergic to them. Variety is king.

Cleaning up your juicer is important
It's important to clean your juicer immediately after you juice to prevent it from contaminating the juicer with mold growth. I like to regularly clean my juicer by dropping a few drops of bleach in my juicer, running it for a minute and then rinsing it thoroughly.
Because vegetable juice has virtually no fat and no protein in it, it's a good idea to balance the meal by adding some essential oils when you juice as well as some protein supplement to make the meal more balanced. I find the lowest price for high quality liquid amino acids on the internet is here.
Adding essential oils to your vegetable juice
There are 4 basic supplements you could use:
Fish Oil (EPA/DHA) (source of omega 3 fatty acids)
Flaxseed oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids)
Cod Liver Oil (has vitamin D and vitamin A in addition to the EPA/DHA of fish oil.)
Evening Primrose Oil (source of omega 6 fatty acids)
Juicing as a way of fasting
Consuming nothing but fresh, diluted juices from various fruits and vegetables for a day or more is a safe and helpful form of fasting. I believe that juice fasting actually works better than a straight water fast, because it helps to eliminate wastes, old or dead cells while building new tissues with the easily accessible nutrients from the juices. The more drastic water fast is more intense, often resulting in more sickness and less energy, than fasting with fruit and vegetable juices. Paavo Airola, one of the pioneers of fasting in America, states in his book "How to Get Well" that "systematic undereating and periodic fasting are the two most important health and longevity factors."
When juicing, always make sure to use clean filtered water as you do not want chlorine to be a part of your diet.
There is an unfortunate tendency in the U.S., and in U.S. doctors, to look for health in drugs and medications, instead of natural methods which support the body and PREVENT disease, such as juicing. Of course pharmaceutical companies don't make any money by telling you to eat your greens. You can find out more about the medical establishment in the United States and how public relations firms shape and manipulate the public's beliefs on the "Why you believe what you believe" page.
