Many nature cure practitioners have suggested that we cleanse at the change of seasons. Norman Walker, considered to be the grand dad of juicing and colon therapy, recommends that everyone have a series of 6 colonics twice per year, in the spring and fall, and to do one colonic at the change from spring to summer and fall into winter.
I like to inspire my clients to aspire to eating a cooked/raw, gluten free plant-based diet, especially when they are working with me, and definitley when there is cancer, candida, parasites and any other form of inflammation occuring in their body. I am big on establishing a foundational food regimen before any heavy duty cleansing and detoxification begins, to have a basic diet to fall back on so all your efforts will be maximized.
The suggestions below may be used as a basic 3-10 day whole food based Cleanse, utilized 3-5 days before Colon Therapy, eaten while receiving a series of colonics and a great way to reneter from a juice diet of 3-10 days...
Salad made with Kale, Collard Greens and any other green leafy nutrient dense vegetables. Use Organic Cold Pressed Flaxseed or Olive oil for dressing with lemon, raw apple cider vinegar, salt (Celtic or Himalayan) and fresh and dried herb spices. This cleanses the entire intestinal tract quite effectively. Eat as much as desired without overeating.
BE AWARE! When you burp while eating you are either eating too fast or have had enough for one sitting.
Beets – preferably baked with Himalayan or Celtic salt, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar and oil. You may steam them as well, making sure to drink the water. The red dye in the beets cleanses the liver.
Watermelon – at least 2-1 inch round slices per day from large melon. Watermelon is a natural diuretic, helps remove mucous from the body and supports urinary tract detoxification
Water – Drink at least ½ ounce per pound of your body weight per day. Alkaline, ionized water is the best. Distilled or spring can be used as well. Water is necessary to flush the toxins out of the intestines when cleansing or just living every day for that matter.
To enhance digestion eat some raw greens first so you flood your digestive tract with enzymes before eating the more concentrated foods in your meals. REMEMBER! Chewing your food is primary for the digestive process to function optimally: Chew your liquids and Liquify your solids!
Great basic juice: Makes 32 ounces:
1 peeled cucumber
1 bunch celery
1 head Romaine lettuce
small handful parsley
3-6 leaves kale
½ – 1 green or other tart apple
½ lemon
½ finger ginger if desired.
On a juice cleanse, drink as much, or as little as you want daily.
