Synopsis: This article
presents the elements of successfully detoxifying the body by means of
diet. Body detoxification is regarded as an essential element for
successfully treating cancer by alternative cancer treatment
specialists
Body detoxification is a very broad subject. It
may
include the specifics of detoxifying the colon, the liver, the kidneys
and the blood. This writing will be confined to the generalities
involved in the natural and effective detoxification resulting from
dietary changes. There is much information on the internet regarding
detoxification if you care to search for it.
There are some conventional medical attitudes that
hold that there is no such thing as a toxic body. There are many
alternative health advocates that consider detoxification to be a
crucial element in the treating of degenerative diseases such as cancer
and arthritis.
Virtually any improvement in the diet which includes
more fresh fruits and vegetables is detoxifying. The body can slowly
correct itself and be more healthy. When the diet mostly consists of
fresh fruits and vegetables, especially if it is concentrated in a
program such as Juice Fasting which is a powerful detoxification
method, The results are usually immediate and dramatic. Similar
results may be had by taking only water for an extended period of time.
However, water fasting does not provide the healing nutrition required
for a body to replace faulty cells with healthy ones.
It is recommended that a person contemplating an
extensive detoxification program should place themselves under the
supervision of a nutritionist. This should not be confused with a
dietitian. For the purposes of this writing, a dietitian is one
who follows the basic guide lines of the typical food pyramid, which is
a one-size-fits-all plan which includes certain amounts of dairy
products, meat, fruits, vegetables, grain etc. A nutritionist, for the
purposes of this writing, is one who is specifically trained to evaluate
the particular nutritional needs of an individual and can provide a
juice fasting plan that considers the person's vitality, extent and
urgency of the treated disease, and constantly monitors progress. Some
dietitians call themselves nutritionists, so be sure of the kind service
provided.
Many Chiropractors and other naturopathic specialists
are qualified nutritionists. Juice fasting can be successfully
accomplished by the patient if they have the necessary understanding.
Books can be found on the internet on the subject.
The requirements for juice fasting require careful
preparation. A good juicer is a must. a Champion Juicer may be gotten at
a very low price from HealthQuarters at:

Some people ask me, "I have a
blender, will that do?" The answer is "no". The nutrition
of fruits and vegetables is in the juice. A juicer separates the juice
from the fiber. Although some fiber is beneficial, the amount of
nutrition required is so large that it would be virtually impossible to
eat the amount of food necessary. Another restriction is the eating of
fruits and vegetables together. Vegetables require a longer digestion
time than do fruits because of the vegetable fiber. However, fruit and
vegetable juices may be take together because they do digest at the same
rate. It is, therefore, permissible and palatable to juice fruits and
vegetables together.
Be aware, you can and should have a severe reaction
to the juice fast, especially if you are ill with a severe degenerative
disease. This is called a Healing Crisis. The body is extremely
conservative in its operation. It uses a protocol called homeostasis
which, among other things, prevents the excessive poisoning of one organ
or system by distributing toxins somewhat uniformly throughout the body.
When the blood detoxifies, the other storage areas of the body start to
unload their toxins into the blood stream. The stored toxins may consist
of chemical products that have been absorbed into the body. Permanent
wave chemicals and other beauty products are infamous for this kind of
problem. Also, industrial solvents and such chemicals can be stored as
well.
I talked to a practitioner who supervises such
programs. One patient broke out in boils which were found to contain
automobile painting products. He worked in an auto body shop.
Prescription drugs stored in the body can be released into the blood
stream, causing a drug overdose. It is important to have good
supervision from a professionally trained practitioner if this kind of
problem is to be successfully encountered.
You may feel worse before you feel better.
You may experience the worst "flue" that you have ever had.
The "rule of thumb" is to continue the fast until you have
returned to normal for at least two days. If the patient is severely
ill, this may not be practical or wise to continue. A practitioner may
have the patient juice fast for three days a week until the process is
complete. In a crisis, as when the patient is given a few weeks to live,
the process may be accelerated and carefully supervised.
Carrot juice is the base of most juicing programs
because carrots are uniquely nutritious. Other vegetables such as dark
lettuce and beet roots and tops can be added. A half apple may be
added as well, but, fruits should be used in moderation because of their
high sugar content. Carrots also are high in sugar, but they are
universally accepted as the best vegetable to use. The restriction of
sugar is vital in treating cancer because cancer feeds on sugar.
Sugar also impairs the immune system. One
"dose" of sugar can shut down the immune system for several
hours.
Regarding commercially grown vs. "organic"
vegetables; I use commercially grown vegetables because I have
difficulty in finding organic produce. Also, my personal belief is that
properly cleaned vegetables offer no appreciable risk due to pesticides
and artificial fertilizers. This is my personal opinion only. I know
that there are many who would disagree with me. If you prefer to use
only organic produce, that is your privilege, of course.
The usual consumption of juice is 13 8 0z.
glasses of freshly made juice per day. Some advocate the preparing of
juice for the day and keeping it in airless (no air under the lid)
covered container. My personal opinion is that freshly made juice is
best, but if you don't have the time to continually prepare the juice
and clean the juicer, Preparing and storing the juice may be the best
alternative. It is the exposure to air that destroys the quality of the
stored juice.
Juice fasting can produce immediate and dramatic
improvement. I have seen results producing a "cancer
free" condition in as little as three weeks. I have no hard numbers
to quote, but my observation and opinion is that of those who diligently
apply these principles have at least an 80% chance of complete remission
in two months.
In my observation, the biggest problem experienced in
achieving success is an uncertain and inconsistent attitude toward the
program. Often a juice fasting procedure is all that is needed for
successfully treating cancer. Other components of a successful program
will be presented under different topic headings. The elements of a
comprehensive and successful program has so many parts to it that there
is virtually no time in a day to do anything else. This is an all-out
program. The patient should take a leave of absence from employment or
school in order to concentrate their efforts entirely on he project.
This is not something that you add to your life. This will be
your life for a while.
The following sites are a few of the many that
describe the certainty, the necessity, and the recognition of a healing
crisis. They also tell of the improper reaction of patients who try to
treat the symptoms of a healing crisis as a disease and either quit
their program, or try to relieve the symptoms, which can abort the
healing process.
It is important to realize the importance of
following through when the crisis occurs. You will learn that the
crisis will usually last for three days. You will also learn that in the
beginning, a crisis will be preceded by a time of feeling very well. As
the patient may have several such events, the tendency will be to feel
better after the crisis has past.
After each event, the patient will arrive at a
higher level of strength, energy, and well being than they have ever
experienced before. They may require less sleep and be very rested.
Their emotional and mental health will be much better. Usually, the
first thing noticed is a dramatic improvement in eyesight.
I used to wear glasses. I had my eyes examined
last week. My eyes are 20/20. I am 82 yeas old.

while they are not free, the authors have done extensive research and
some have had experience with thousands of cancer patients!
