Introduce a fast/juice cleanse twice a year.
Digestion is the most energy intensive of all bodily processes. Stop eating & that energy is directed to detox or immune support.
Juice Fast Program
- 2 days of fruit and salads
- 3 days of fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas and VitaGreen™ (cleansing chlorophyll).
- 2 days of fruit and salads
Buy a detox tool to accelerate your detox capacity.
Top 3 Detox Tools
- The Far Infrared Sauna – Produces 2-3 more sweat than conventional saunas.
It penetrates 1.5cm into fat cells and pumps out the toxins – reduces cellulite, improves skin texture, speeds injury repair, releases serotonin, conditions the heart, etc, etc.
- Ion Flush – Foot Bath Energiser - A low voltage D.C charge flows through an electrode system (an array) which is positioned in a foot bath. Electrolysis, boosted by the addition of salt to the water, splits the water molecule into H+ (cation) and OH- ions.
These ions move through the semi permeable membrane (skin of the feet) and travel throughout the body, neutralising oppositely charged particles.
Osmotic pressure pulls these neutralised particles out of the body via the feet. The foot bath’s water changes colour & texture in relation to the region where detox is taking place.
Five Benefits
- Detoxifies more efficiently and more rapidly than any herbal or fasting protocols without the normal detox stress.
- Floods the body with negative ions which are alkalising and can help to neutralise accumulated acid waste (lactic, uric, carbonic acid, etc.
- Produces hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2) – Oxygen is the chief detox molecule in the body and nature’s most potent anti-microbial agent.
- Improves sleep quality, enhances energy and oxygenates brain tissue.
- Supports skin health – i.e. Skin problems are generally toxin related.
Assume your detox system is overloaded and supplement with supportive nutrients & herbs.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification are nutrient-dependant and the main detox organs – the liver & the kidneys benefit from nutritional support.
Four Key Nutrients
- Selenium – 200 mcg per day is the proven maintenance requirement for this hugely important mineral.
- Glutathione – combines with selenium to form glutathione peroxidase – Best to supply building blocks i.e. whey protein.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid – the master antioxidant which recharges the cleanup crew – Vitamin C & Vitamin E.
- TMG – the building block for SAMe which protects the liver, enhances bile flow and improves mood
Vitamin C is essential but it must be buffered & it must contain bioflavonoids.
- Linus Pauling believed that 10 000 mg of Vitamin C a day extended his life by 20 years (he died at 93).
- Humans don’t produce Vitamin C. It is the workhorse of the detox system (much needed with 74 000 registered chemicals)
Vitamin C is a multi function wonder:
- Can immunise against cancer
- Save arteries by lifting HDL
- Boost immunity by increasing
Lymphocyte production
- Increase fertility (sperm counts)
- Fight colds and flu
- Suppress high blood pressure
- Regenerate Vitamin E and
Glutathione
Support your liver and kidneys with weeds and common herbs from your garden.
Milk Thistle (silymarin), Dandelion and Parsley are key supporters of both the liver and the kidneys – Celery is also a kidney supporter.
Juice them and combine with carrot juice to help neutralise the bitterness.
Include fermented foods & probiotics in your diet to build your beneficial gut organisms
Lactic fermentation largely involving lactobacillus organisms generates a 5 fold increase in nutrient value.
Yogurt, Kim Chi, Sauerkraut, pickled fruit & vegetables are superb, medicinal, living foods.
Bio-Bubble™ containing 40 billion beneficials per serve can be used as an additive to produce inexpensive D.I.Y probiotic foods & drinks. It can also be used to boost supplements.
