I tried this and it works great!
The lazy man's cactus prep.

I started with 700 grams of fresh Trichocereus bridgesii
Slice like a cucumber
Cut slices into smaller pieces or chunks
Load into blender with a little water and puree to even consistency
Pour into Crock Pot and set on "low" setting
Ignore for 6 hours or more
Strain pulp out through a t-shirt
Reduce liquid with low heat and evaporation
Refrigerate, freeze, or consume.

Initial nausea is still an issue when using this method
But it is very effective in extracting the alkaloids -

Very effective!
