Spring is a great time to heal by detoxifying your body. Here is a two-step process you can follow to support your organs of detoxification.
Step One. Follow this Detox Plan for two weeks.
Detox Plan
Proteins:
Women: 8-12 ounces organic meat daily. Men: 10-15 ounces organic meat daily.
Be sure to include grass fed beef, at least 9 ounces and at least 2 organic eggs every week. May include organic protein shakes, chemical-free.
Carbohydrates:
2-5 fruits daily (1 whole fruit or 1 cup berries)
Unlimited nonstarchy vegetables
Fats:
Include a healthy fat at every minimeal: butter, olive oil, coconut oil or ground flaxseed.
May include ¼ cup of organic nuts daily.
Optional Juices:
Unlimited unsweetened cranberry juice – aids the kidneys
Unlimited fresh-squeezed lemon juice – aids the liver
You may sweeten with stevia to taste and add sparkling mineral water or fresh filtered water
You must:
Eat at least every 3 hours. More often if hungry. Have a minimum of 5 minimeals every day. Drink at least 24 ounces of water first thing in the morning – benefits the colon.
Exercise:
Walk 20 minutes daily, minimum, to aid the lymph system. May break up exercise (i.e., two 10-minute walks). Those who have been exercising regularly may work out up to but no more than 1 hour of a day, 6 days a week. No high intensity cardio where your heart rate exceeds 90 beats per minute.
Rest:
Strive for 10 hours of rest daily. Example: sleep 8 hours, nap 1 hour, meditate 30 minutes, hot bath 30 minutes.
No:
Alcohol
Caffeine
Sugar (substitute stevia)
Artificial sugar substitutes – no aspartame, sweet n low, splenda or sucralose
Wheat
Soy
If you are still hungry, increase your protein intake.
To combat sugar cravings: Have an apple with organic peanut or almond butter.
To combat adrenal fatigue: Be sure to have a protein snack daily at 3-4 p.m.
Step Two.
Once you have cleaned up your diet and are resting very well and have stopped over exercising and high intensity cardio, you are ready for deeper detoxification.

Support Remedies For Detoxification
Far Infrared Sauna. Recommended by Sherry Rogers, M.D., in the book, Detoxify or Die, far infrared saunas are especially helpful for eliminating heavy metals as well as cellular toxins.
Home Water Enemas. Purchase an enema bucket. Fill with room temperature water. Sit your enema bucket at the top of a shower caddy and lie on your back in your bathtub. Insert the tube into your rectum and open the valve to allow warm water to flow into your large intestine. As you feel full, go to the toilet and eliminate.
Coffee Enemas. Use the same procedure as water enemas, only replace the water with coffee. Brew the coffee as usual and allow to come to a comfortable temperature. Coffee enemas are especially helpful for clearing toxins out of the liver.
Colonics. Find a seasoned colon specialist who is experienced at cleaning the large intestine. We recommend Gail Seignious, an excellent local colon hydrotherapist, 678-779-0624. This procedure is more thorough than home enemas. Make sure you are following all your home or professional colon cleanses with probiotics, such as our Multi Probiotic.
Dry Skin Brushing. Purchase a soft brush bristle brush or loofah. Massage dry skin towards the heart. This technique is very helpful for moving the lymph and helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Do your dry skin brushing before your bath, shower or far infrared sauna.
Mini Trampoline. Purchase a $30-$40 mini trampoline from any sporting goods store. Bounce in 5-10 minute increments, then get off and stretch your calf muscles. Rebounding helps to move the lymph and stimulates the immune system. It is a wonderful replacement for high intensity aerobic exercise. Bounce on your mini trampoline before your far infrared sauna.
Spring Cleaning. Go through your drawers and closets. Eliminate all personal belongings that you don’t use, that don’t fit or that no longer serve you.
Meditation. Use the Loving Kindness Meditation CD. This is a CD I made with my client Curt Bush.
