What about Dr Christophers 3 day juice fast?

Persian

 

DR Christopher 3 day juice fast.

 

This cleansing program purifies the body so it can heal more easily. If you are

overweight,

this program will take you down to your normal weight; if you are underweight,

it will bring

you up to normal. The entire purpose of the program is to eliminate mucus from

the body, which

will simplify healing. Dr. Christopher always said that there are no

incurable diseases, but

only people who think they are incurable. He offered this cleansing program as

an essential part

of healing virtually any infirmity. The cleansing program will: *Clean the

mucus out of the

body; mucus is the source of polyps, tumors, cysts, etc. and also the cause of

allergies, disease,

pain, and death. *Give you foods that are alive, nutritious and healthful,

foods which can rebuild

your body. *Provide you with herbal formulas and corrective aids to

facilitate healing and

regeneration of the body. *Release static electricity from the body to

eliminate frustrations

and confusions.

 

The Three Day Juice CleanseDetoxification: To begin, you will have three

days detoxification (body purification)

thereapy, and then proceed with the diet outlined hereafter. This three-day

cleanse is taken in

part from Dr. N. W. Walker's book, Raw Vegetable Juices, " To Detoxicate, "

Phoenix, AZ: Norwalk

press, Publishers, P.O. Box 13206. Supreme cleanliness is the first step

towards a healthy

body. Any toxins within us will retard our progress towards recovery. The

natural eliminative

channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.

When we perspire,

our sweat glands throuw off toxins which would be toxic to us if retained. The

kidneys excrete

the end products of food and body metabolism from the liver. The bowels

eliminate not only the

food waste butalso matter known as body waste, in the form of used-up cells and

tissues, the

result of our physical and mental activities, which if retained can cause

protein putrefaction,

resulting in toxemia or acidosis.

Retaining such body waste is much more damaging to our helath than is generally

suspected, and

when we begin to cleanse it, we experience perceptible progress. One efficient

method to eliminate i

t quickly, particularly for adults, is the following procedure: First thing

in the morning upon

arising, drink 16 ounces or more of prune juice. The purpose of this is not

primarily to empty the

bowels, which it will do anyway, but rather to draw into the intestines from

every part of the body

such toxic matter as may be there, and eliminate it through the bowels. Take

one or two

tablespoons of olive oil three times a day, to aid in lubricating bile and liver

ducts.

To prevent dehydration, and to alkalinize the body as it cleanses, drink at

least two quarts

of fruit juices, preferably freshly made. You might choose apple, carrot, grape,

citrus, tomato,

etc. but for the one chosen, use it exclusively for the three days, and chew

each mouthful

thoroughly. CARROT JUICE Use this

without diluting as directed below.CITRUS JUICE If you live where citrus is

grown,

make a combination. Use four to six grapefruit, two to three lemons, and enough

oranges to

make two quarts. Dilute with two quarts of water, making one gallon. Proceed as

below.GRAPE

JUICE Use unsweetened juice without additives or preservatives. Bottled

juice is better

than frozen, which often contains sugar and usually contains additives not

listed on the label.

The best juice would be homemade, unsweetened, but you can buy organic grape

juice at the health

food store which is excellent. People have had good results using grape juice

from the grocery,

such as Welch's, Church, Tea Garden, Queen Isabell--just check the label to be

sure it has no

additives. Dilute half and half with water.APPLE JUICE Use freshly pressed

apple juice if

available, from unsprayed, organic apples if possible. Making your own apple

juice is ideal.

You can also use bottled apple juice, if it contains no

preservatives or chemicals of any kind. Do not use frozen juice, which can

contain preservatives

without being labelled. Drink one 8-ounce glassful, beginning half an hour

after having taken

the prune juice, being sure to swish or " chew " each mouthful thoroughly. This

is very important,

so that the juices can mix with the saliva for easy digestion. If you are

hypoglycemic, " chewing "

the juice will prevent an unpleasant sugar reaction. You can drink a glass of

plain water,

preferably distilled, a half hour after that. Follow this with a glass of

juice every thirty

minutes or so, alternating with water every half hour, throughout the day. You

can follow this

outline, but take more or less as your case requires; it is a rule of thumb and

not a specific

rule. However, many people have followed it this way, with excellent results.

Do not eat

anything all day, although if very hungry towards evening, take an apple if

your are using apple

juice, an orange with citrus, grapes with

grape, carrot or celery with carrot juice, etc. Chew it thoroughly. As you

detoxify, you may

likely experience constipation. If you do, use more prune juice, or take some

of our lower

bowel formula, two or more capsules three times a day. Continue this program

for three

consecutive days. Approximately three gallons of toxic lymph will have been

eliminated from

the body and will havebeen replaced by three gallons of alkaline juices. As

your system becomes

more alkaline, you will experience healing of your particular complaints. On

the fourth and

subsequent days, begin taking vegetable juices and begetables and fruit,

preferably all raw.

For breakfast, for example, eat threee or four fruits in season, sliced,

chopped or grated,

with some honey for sweetening and one or two tablespoonfuls of finely grated

unsalted almonds

spinkled over them. Alkso drink one or two glasses of fresh fruit or begetable

juices. For lunch,

eat more fruit and one pint of fresh raw begetable juices,

thirty minutes before or after eating the fruit. For dinner add any of the

salads given hereafter,

or as in The Mild Food Cookbook by Michael Tracy, Springville, UT:

Christopher Publications.

You will probably feel somewhat weak during or after this detoxication. Don't

let this alarm you.

Nature uses our energies for a housecleaning within us, and we soon regain

greater energy and

vitality as a result of a cleaner and healhier body. You can do the three-day

cleanse monthly

or several times a year. If there is the slightest tendency toward

appendicitis, take high

enemas, using catnip tea or a tea of three parts red raspberry leaf and one

part lobelia. Do

this two, three or more times a day as needed. Only use enemas in the case of

possible

appendicitis. If you are experiencing trouble with constipation, use more

prune juice or

the lower bowel tonic.Continued Fast: Once you have completed several three

day juice

cleanses, you can, if you want to try, and feel up to it, fast

one to three more days using only distilled water, then a day of juice, before

returning

to salads and other regular foods. Do not eat any heavy foods immmediately

after a cleansing

period or a fast, but add these to your diet gradually. This is the best and

smoothest way to

get back onto solid foods. Such a continued fast will greatly accelerate the

cleansing and healing

process.Cleansing Symptoms: As your body begins to cleanse, you will

probably experience

periodic aches and pains in the areas where the cleaning action is most acute

and the wastage

is loading the elimination system; there are times when you will feel very,

very rough! Do not

panic on the days after cleansing or during your periods of healing. In

fact, the cleaning

action may produce all symptoms and effects of severe illness, but don't blame

the temporary

problem onto the cleansing. Be comforted that the healing process is well

underway, and the

sooner such discomforts come, the better, for this means that

the toxins and poisons are being eliminated --and the faster the cleansing, the

quicker the

healing. But this cleansing will not be instantaneous; do not expect the

toxic accumulations

of a lifetime to be miraculously flushed out of the tissues and organs in some

colonic fashion.

This will all take time working with the bosy's normal cyclic functions. You

will have high days

and low days, usually in cycles. These " cleansing sicknesses " come in cycles of

seven days,

seven weeks, seven months, and seven years in most cases. As the toxic poisons

break loose

and are dumped into the bloodstream so they can be eliminated, you will feel

pretty rough;

and quite frequently druing a crisis, you may feel worse than you did before

you ever started

the program. But do not panic! The bad days will become fewer and fewer and the

good days greater

and greater, if you are faithful to the program. Professor Arnold Ehret's book,

Mucusless Diet

Healing System (which can be pruchased from any health

food store) may help you to understand some of the reactions you might

experience while ridding

the body of toxins, waste and mucus.
