How can I protect myself and my family
from the recently proclaimed pandemic, Swine Flu - aka
Influenza A (H1N1)?
New Zealand has not yet seen the worst effects of Swine
Flu, but health officials warn that at least one in three
of us are likely to catch this virus over the next few
years. So how can we keep safe from Swine Flu? The Ministry
of Health gives some helpful advice on their website www.moh.govt.nz,
which includes taking the following precautions:
Cover coughs and sneezes
The influenza virus spreads easily through droplets in
the air. Take care you do not spread them yourself through
careless coughing and sneezing. Educate your family also
to use a tissue to cover coughs and sneezes and then safely
dispose of the used tissue.
Wash your hands with soap and water and dry thoroughly
During a pandemic take opportunities to wash hands more
frequently, not only after using the toilet, but before
eating and after visiting any public place.
Remember the 20-20 rule - 20 seconds of washing followed
by 20 seconds of drying. It's longer than you think!
A hand sanitizer can be useful if hand washing opportunities
are limited.
If you are sick, stay away from work and school
Other sound advice for keeping safe and healthy this
winter . . .
Take advantage of the seasonal flu vaccine being offered
this winter. Sure, it will not work specifically against
A (H1N1) but it may prevent another flu infection which
would weaken your resistance to Swine Flu if you should
be exposed to that as well.
Keep up your healthy balanced diet with adequate fluids.
All of this is easier with the daily habit of juicing
with your Oscar!

1. What is living juice?
 The
concept of Living Juice was first introduced by Dr Norman Walker (1874-1983).
Walker declared that the vital enzymes in fruit and vegetable juices die
at temperatures which exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Walker said that any juice
extractor which used a high speed blade or centrifuge, created friction heat
leading to the destruction of enzymes.
Oscar is rotating at a low 80 rpm, producing no heat around the auger
and ensuring a living juice without any loss of enzymes or nutrients.
After Walker retired, Max Gerson took over his work and enjoyed success
for his achievements using living juice therapies for people with
cancer.
Dr Gerson has used living juices in the treatment of cancer patients
for over 30 years.
2. How does Oscar produce more juice?
The unique extraction process of the Oscar operates gently at a low
rpm to unlock vital living enzymes, minerals and vitamins from the fruit
and vegetable fibre. Oscar's low speed stonemill-like auger, operating between
63 to 80 rpm, allows the food to be juiced again and again, removing a maximum
amount of juice.
3. Is it true that Oscar is quieter than other juicers?
Yes. In past tests comparing the Oscar with other leading juicers
on the market, Oscar was considerably quieter than the other types tested.
You only have to hear Oscar to get a pleasant surprise. When you get up in
the morning to make a delicious juice for yourself or the family, we promise
you will not wake up the neighbours!
4. Is the Oscar easy to clean and how many parts does it
come with?
Oscar comes with a total of 16 parts which includes 6 x noodle
nozzles. A diagram of the parts is set out below:
For juicing there are only 5 parts which are used which is
why cleaning the parts is quick and easy. Maximum 2 minutes!
5. Is it okay to put Oscar parts into the dishwasher?
No. Wash all the parts in the kitchen sink using detergent and hot/warm
water.
 6. When I juice carrots, beetroot and other highly coloured
vegetables, the inside of the drum cap and nozzle get discoloured. Is there
a way to remove these stains?
Yes there is. Soak the parts in bicarbonate of soda or white vinegar
or citric acid. Olive oil is also effective. Remember that vegetable stains
are on the inside of the machine where no one sees them and vegetable stains
are safe.
7. What else will Oscar do?
Oscar will not only extract the juice from fruit, vegetables, leafy
greens, like spinach and wheatgrass and herbs, but can be used as a seasoning
chopper for garlic, onion, red and green pepper and ginger.
Oscar will make pasta and noodles, nut butter, fruit sorbets
and icecream. (Recipes supplied.)
Oscar will also extract oil from flax and sesame seed with the oil
extractor attachment (optional).
8. Will Oscar separate the juice from the pulp?
Yes. The juice falls into the juice bowl and the pulp is automatically
ejected through the nozzle and falls into the pulp bowl.

Oscar is a solid juicer made from hygienic and heavy duty
polycarbonate. The motor is a ¼ HP single phase induction
motor engineered for a long life. OSCAR now comes with a full
