Just doing a fast for three days is not a cure all and it will require more work on your part by starting to eat more natural foods. In her extensive book, Coking For Healthy Healing, 1991, Linda Rector-page, N.D., Ph.D., talks about what a fast does, "Fasting works by self-digestion. During a cleanse, the body in its infinite wisdom, will decompose and burn only the substances and tissue that are damaged, diseased, or unneeded, such as abscesses, tumors, excess fat deposits, and congestive wastes. Even a relatively short fast can accelerate elimination from the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin, often causing dramatic changes as masses of accumulated waste are expelled. Live foods and juices can literally pick up dead matter from the body and carry it away." Day before the fast The day before the fast, eat a large salad and two apples. This will give you plenty of fiber to scrub the walls of your colon as you move fecal matter out of your colon the following day. First day of colon cleanse Do this cleanse on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day that you don't have to go anywhere. You will be going to the bathroom all day and at times you need to be there quick. Buy the following items. * Organic apple juice - one gallon * Organic apples - 6 for one day * Organic prune juice - one quart When you first wake up in the morning, drink, * 8 oz of prune juice * 10 minutes later drink another 8oz of prune juice * 10 minutes later again drink another 8 oz of prune juice * wait 20 minutes than drink 8 oz of apple juice * wait 30 minutes than drink another 8 oz of apple juice If you haven't sped to the bathroom yet, you will in a little while.
