INSTRUCTIONS FOR A GENERAL DETOX

While I acknowledge there are much more elaborate and stronger detox
protocols, I will give you the general detox protocol I safely use
with success and satisfaction. Since everyone may have different
health conditions that may require unique and customized changes to
this protocol, I recommend you consult with your doctor to assist
you in customizing your detox protocol.

Step 1: Prepare a food journal by charting all the foods you eat
for one week. At the end of the week, consult the Alkaline Acid
Food Chart for your blood type (on this website) to help you
calculate your baseline percentage of alkaline to acid foods. Be
honest with yourself and record the actual percentage to establish
your own baseline.

After you chart your food consumption for a week, and you have your
baseline, the next step is to gradually eat more alkalizing foods
(Baroody defines alkalizing foods as foods with residual ash PH
greater than 4. I'm stricter on myself so I define alkalizing foods
as foods with a residual ash PH of 5.5 or higher). See the
article "Alkalizing and Blood Type" for a more detailed discussion
and consult the Alkaline Acid Food Chart for your Blood Type to put
together your alkalizing foods list.


Step 2: Detox Intestines/Colon First

I've used other Intestines/Colon Cleansing protocols, but I still
feel Dr. Schulze's detox protocol is the most effective for me. You
can learn more about Dr. Schulze's detox program by going to his
official website at http://www.800herbdoc.com

I currently use his Intestines/Colon detox protocol as follows:

Intestinal Formula 1: Primary Detox Formula
(Taken long-term for intestinal health, taken after dinner)

Intestinal Formula 2: Secondary Detox Formula
(Used for quarterly cleanse as needed, taken after dinner)

Intestines/Colon are the first organs to detox, followed by
Liver/Gallbladder and Kidney detox. Why in this order? If you did
the Liver/Gallbladder and Kidney detox first, some toxins will
release into your Intestines/Colon. If your Intestines/Colon are
sluggish, you end up reabsorbing some of the released toxins,
potentially creating a healing crisis or worse. Therefore, the
proper order for organ detox is Intestines/Colon first, then
Liver/Gallbladder and Kidney.

After the Intestines/Colon are working effectively and regularly,
then I do the 5-day Liver/Gallbladder and Kidney cleanses together,
just as additional detox, 3 to 4 times per year. Below is a list of
ingredients I use for my 5- day detox and the recommended ranges.
Start SLOW with the LOWEST range for each ingredient and SLOWLY
increase each day to find your tolerance. For some people who are
ultra sensitive, very toxic and acidic, they may not tolerate much
more than the minimums for each ingredient. That's okay. That just
means you will need to use the minimums for each ingredient and
extend the detox to 14 consecutive days. I've done the
Liver/Gallbladder and Kidney detox for more than 5 consecutive days
before, simply because it's easy and takes 2 minutes to prepare.
Don't be alarm if you notice some different looking fecal matter
during detox as that's your body releasing toxins, and it's normal.


Step 3: Liver/Gallbladder Detox

Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse: (2 times a day for 5 days. Once when you
wake up, and once before you sleep, empty stomach)

8 oz. of water

1/4 to 5 cloves of garlic

1/4 to 5 tablespoons of organic virgin cold-pressed olive oil (no
substitution)

1/2 to 1 inch piece of ginger root

Don't chop the garlic or peel the ginger. Put everything in a
blender, liquefy it, and then drink it.

Follow that up with a 1/2 to 1 cup of shredded raw organic beets,
mixed with the juice from 1 lemon. Divide this into two equal
portions and eat half between breakfast and lunch, and half between
lunch and dinner.


Step 4: Kidney Detox

Kidney Detox: (2 times a day for 5 days. Once when you wake up, and
once before you sleep, empty stomach)

Juice from 1 lemon and 1 lime

16 – 32 oz. of water

1/10 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper


Step 5: Follow up

Depending on what other health conditions you have, you may need
additional organ detox not mentioned here. Consult your doctor for
any additional recommendations.


ALTERNATIVE DETOX PROTOCOL

I know some people who have used Stanley Burroughs's Master Cleanser
with good results. This protocol has been around since the 1940's
so one can say it passed the test of time. This is a FASTING
CLEANSE, so the protocol requires one to fast between one to 10
days. For beginning fasters, Dr. Baroody recommend no more than a 3
day fast, and preferably a one-day fast just to get the body
accustom to fasting. If one is quite ill, then it's not advisable
to do a fasting cleanse, and preferably to do a more gradual detox
via alkalizing. But for those who are strong enough to do a fast,
here are the ingredients:

To agitate and loosen impacted toxins:
2 Tablespoons lemon juice from a real lemon
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1/10 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ounces of water

Mix all ingredients and drink as many glasses in a day as you wish
to alleviate hunger and maintain energy levels. To break this fast,
start back with just juices from vegetables and fruits on the first
day after fast, then fruits and vegetables on the second day after
fast, and back to regular 80/20 Alkaline/Acid diet thereafter.
