Detoxing can be a very powerful, wonderful way to clean your insides
out, lose weight, brighten your skin, clean the blood, return to vibrant
health and eliminate parasites. It helps to bring the body back into
balance ensuring pathogenic microorganisms such as candida don't get out
of control in the body.
This is my personal detox plan, feel free
to use it although this is only what I PERSONALLY do for myself
(tailored to my food intolerances), it is essential that you are
supervised by a highly qualified naturopath/nutritionist and a detox is
also CONTRAINDICATED in pregnancy- as during the process of removing
toxins etc these could be passed on to the baby and cause serious
damage.
Detox steps (many of these steps will not be suitable for
those with severe salicylate intolerance SORRY! Suitable for celiac's,
wheat intolerant etc), begin with a few days of vegetable juice fasting
and chicken bone broth and vegetable soups.
You
may use one piece of fruit in your morning juice but throughout the day
it is best just to use vegetables (you can use as much lemon and lime
as you want however) so that your sugar levels don't get out of control
as candida etc will feed off all sugar including fruit, the best kinds
of vegetables to juice are green ones- these will be very alkalising and
excellent at detoxing and cleaning the blood, include spirulina,
celery, barley and wheat grass, chlorella, kale etc. You may use a high
quality protein powder such as Tony Sfeirs pea protein or egg yolks in
your juice for extra energy and protein.
Throughout entire
treatment it is ESSENTIAL to practice dry skin brushing, take epsom salt
baths, get sunshine every day and exercise, DON'T overdo it on the
exercise during this time however, light yoga and a nice walk in the
park will be enough. It is also very important to have quiet time every
day, meditate and practice positive affirmations and loving and
approving of yourself.
After a few days of fasting begin to
introduce more whole vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains if you tolerate
them (quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth only, in their WHOLE form (not
flour, bread, pasta etc), including plenty of ginger, garlic, coconut
oil, organic eggs, spices and herbs and variety but do not introduce
dairy or meat at this stage. At this time you want to begin taking a
supplement to kill off parasites, you can find these at your local
health food store and are usually made of herbs such as black walnut,
wormwood, garlic etc. It would also be advisable to make sure you are
getting essential minerals so continue with the bone broth soup
throughout. It is essential to take PLENTY of Vit C, 4 teaspoons of pure
Melrose brand a day would be excellent. Don't forget to continue with
exercise, sunshine and meditation. It would also be a wonderful idea to
take a good quality fish oil. After a good three weeks on this protocol
you can discontinue the use of the parasite killer.
Commence
replenishing friendly bacteria, I use kefir made on raw organic milk and
water kefir (read this to find out more
http://www.rawfoodmelbourne.com/water-kefir/), also include kombucha,
these are all amazing probiotic drinks for replenishing friendly
bacteria and the best news is they are DELICIOUS. It would be
particularly beneficial to take the probiotic SB floractic or another
high quality probiotic capsule. Introduce small amounts of raw organic
grass fed meat slowly as well as raw organic butter (preferably
cultured), while still using coconut oil and all other things previously
listed in the diet above.
To maintain health benefits continue to
eat in this manner indefinitely, after a few months you may cease
taking probiotic capsules but continue with kefirs, kombucha etc.
WHAT NOT TO DO DURING A DETOX
Eat any amount of processed/packaged foods, sugar, fast food, flour, gluten etc etc
Eat dried fruits (high in sugar)
