Simple Detox Plan

If you think you are only ready for a gentle cleanse, here is a simple plan.

• Drink purified or distilled water - 6-8 glasses daily. Add fresh lemon or lime to your water.
• Eat only fruit in the morning. Fruit is cleansing and will help your system throw off the toxins.
• Upon arising in the morning, take 1 TBSP of Barleylife powder (young barley leaf juice powder, see July 25, "The Life Force").
• Take 1 tsp. of Herbal Fiberblend to begin with and increase the amount daily till you are taking 1 TBSP. daily. Mix with water or juice and drink quickly. You probably won't like the taste, but this mix of herbs and fiber gently cleanses the colon and helps rid the body of parasites.
• Eat a large, dark green salad (see July 26 "Get Enzyme Power") for lunch with raw seeds or nut butter. Use a good olive oil/vinegar dressing (like Braggs).
• Eat organic as much as possible.
• Eat raw food snacks like fruit (fresh and dried), veggies with an organic dip, dried nuts.
• Use only organic sprouted grain bread and crackers.
• In the afternoon, take another TBSP of Barleylife or Barleylife X-tra.
• Dinner should be at least 50% raw veggies and the rest lightly steamed or sauteed veggies. For some protein, add a small portion of fish, organic meat, egg or raw milk cheese.
• Drinks can be organic apple juice or herb teas, but stick with the water diligently.

Follow this for one week. Note at the beginning what your weight is, how well you sleep, elimination (or difficulty with it), and what your tongue looks like.
You will notice positive changes right away!
If you are hooked on caffeine, this regimen will help you either give it up or cut back. If you are a coffee or tea drinker, make your drinks half decaf. If you are a soda drinker, it's important to give it up totally. To start, either give it up completely or wean yourself off with only one soda/day.
After a week with mostly raw and some cooked veggies and small amounts of protein, you can stay on it longer for a quicker, deeper cleanse or make some diet alterations.
