Body Brushes: We recommend dry skin brushing with a natural bristle brush for all of our patients. Ideally, patients would visit a health food store or bath product store and feel the bristles on the available products; different patients will have different preferences. It should feel pleasantly scratchy, not abrasive. Earth Therapeutics has a good line of brushes that can be ordered from their website or from Amazon.
Coffee Pots: Coffee can be made in stainless steel or glass equipment. The coffee can be made by boiling the grounds in water and then straining the brew, but most patients prefer to purchase a stainless steel percolator, such as this one by Hamilton Beach.
Grinder for 11-Grain Cereal: A small seed or coffee grinder is needed for preparation of the 11-Grain Cereal, an important component of the diet for most of our patients. Many such products are available; look for one that can handle nuts and spices, such as this one.
Infrared Saunas: These saunas heat the body, promoting relaxation and detoxification, but do not heat the air as much as traditional saunas, making it more feasible to have a sauna within the home. A full spectrum infrared sauna is preferable, but a far infrared sauna is acceptable as well. Possible sources include Dynamic Saunas, Sunlighten Saunas, and Vital Health Saunas.

Juicers: All patients will need a juicer; any juicer that separates the juice from the pulp is acceptable. There are a number of considerations when deciding on a juicer: cost, noise, storage, ease of cleaning. Some expensive juicers pay for themselves over time because of durability and drier pulp, hence more juice extracted. The website DiscountJuicers.com has extensive material on juicers and a number of videos on YouTube showing the juicers in action. The OXO Good Grips Deep Clean Brush is a handy tool to get pulp bits out of the juicer.
Juicers for Citrus: Vegetable juicers can sometimes be used for citrus, but the fruit may need to be peeled first. Alternatives include a citrus press or an old-fashioned manual juicer.
Okabashi Sandals: Dr. Isaacs and some of her patients have found the flip-flop version of their sandals helpful when suffering from plantar fasciitis. They are available through Amazon.
Pinhole Glasses: These can be helpful for eye strain; they are not a replacement for prescription lenses. They can usually be found on EBay or Amazon.
Supplement Dose Containers: Most of our patients use small plastic bags to hold their supplements, but some prefer to use containers. A patient recommended a box that holds 7 days worth, 4 doses per day; others like small jars with lids.
Timer: Most smartphones have timers and alarms that can be used to help keep patients on track. Other options include the Ultrak Vibrating Timer, available through Amazon, the Fitbit wristband, which can be used as a vibrating timer, and the line of VibraLITE watches, which can have multiple alarms set.
