To you guys who already subscribe to his newsletter, I apologize, but I thought it was a worth while article to include for spring.
We all are hesitant about spring-cleaning, yet spring is the time of renewal, of cleansing, of getting rid of the old to make room for the new. This spring take a nice, long look at your life, and think about getting rid of the old thoughts and beliefs that are keeping you down, and preventing you from moving ahead. Take a walk in the sunshine and feel the beauty that the spring can offer. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Smell the beautiful flowers and be grateful for all those things in your life that are working. Shake off the dust and cobwebs of the winter and feel the vitality that a healing spring season can bring to the body and mind. Clean up your living space, and throw out the clutter and junk. Organize yourself. Go through your wardrobe and donate old or unworn clothes. Consider a juice fast to cleanse your body of accumulated toxins. Start an outdoor exercise program that lets you appreciate the beauty of nature during this season of ideal weather. Take weekend trips to tranquil, outdoor settings where you can become one with the environment and feel its grandeur. Visit those outdoor "power spots" that invigorate and inspire you. As part of your spring cleaning, consider flooding the body with enzymes, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, and quality fiber - with lots of juicing. Finally, as an important component of your spring-cleaning, consider both my Deep Cleanse recipe, and implementing my Elimination Diet as part of a spring-cleaning for your entire body. My Deep Cleanse recipe is a general all purpose juice cleanse for the whole body based on both good nutrition and traditional folk remedies. Nourish your body with the nutrients that detoxify. My Elimination Diet is designed to remove all of the dead "foods" and substances that are bad for you, and replace them with energy foods that will support your health and immune system. Listed below are both the Deep Cleanse and Elimination Diet that I like to recommend for better health and nutrition. I can't think of a better way to give your body the long awaited spring-cleaning that it needs and deserves.
The Gary Null Deep Cleanse Formula
Wheatgrass can be juiced by using a wheatgrass press. You can also make wheatgrass juice by squeezing the grass into clusters with your hands and juicing these clusters through a traditional fruit and vegetable juicer. If your juicer can't do wheatgrass, you can buy the powder. One teaspoon of the powder is equal to 2 ounces of fresh wheatgrass.
