Body Tune-Up: Detox, Colon Cleanse, Juice Fast, and Diet

Internal Detox
This digestive system detox is suited for first-timers, as a pre-cleanse before a fast, for people with mild
digestive symptoms, or as a general preventative measure. This duration of this detox is usually two to
three weeks.
Detox agents
1. Activated charcoal
Activated charcoal binds intestinal toxins and unfriendly microbial growth and excretes them in the
stools.
500-600 g t!ree ties per day " !our #e$ore or % !ours a$ter eals and edication
2. entonite clay
!f activated charcoal is unavailable, bentonite clay can be used. entonite is a type of edible clay that
acts as a bulk laxative by absorbing water to form a gel. !t binds toxins such as pesticides and helps to
carry them out of the colon. entonite clay can be found at the health food store.
entonite intake should be reduced and timed away from medication intake as it may interfere with
absorption.

". #syllium
#syllium is a dietary fiber that supports normal bowel function. !t cleanses the mucus lining of the
intestines and increases the bulk of the stools. #syllium absorbs water and expand in the colon,
allowing toxins and mucus to be removed.
Take with activated charcoal or if using bentonite, stir it into the psyllium water.

$. %lax seeds
%lax seeds also absorb water and expand in the colon, allowing toxins and mucus to be removed. !n
addition, flax seeds have been found to lower cholesterol levels.
Take one tablespoon of li&uid bentonite and one to two teaspoons of ground flaxseeds or psyllium
in a glass of water first thing in the morning 'wait at least 1(2 hour before eating) and before bed.
.i&uids
Ade&uate fluids are essential when taking psyllium, activated charcoal, or bentonite clay. *rink
+-12 glasses per day. ,hen calculating total fluid intake per day, be sure to include intake of
herbal tea and alkaline broth.
-&uee.e a wedge or 1($ lemon into warm water and drink immediately after rising in the
morning, before having the bentonite clay and flaxseed drink.
/egetable broth contains minerals that are necessary for tissue cleansing. *rink 2 cups per day.
/ro#iotics
The digestive tract maintains a balance between healthy and potentially harmful micro-organisms.
#robiotics, the supplement form of healthy micro-organisms, have been used for many years to increase
the proportion of protective bacteria and for the prevention and treatment of many health conditions.
The most common strains of probiotics are 0actobacillus acidophilus for the small intestine and
ifidobacterium bifidum for the large intestine. 0ook for a combination of the two strains. 1ach
capsule or dose should contain more than 1 billion viable bacteria. The minimum therapeutic dose is
suggested to be 12+-123 cells per day. 4ore bacteria per capsule or dose is preferable, since the
bacteria must survive during shelf life and then after ingestion, during transit through the acidic
conditions of the stomach and hydrolytic en.ymes and bile salts in the small intestine.
#robiotics should always be refrigerated before and after opening.
5ontinue taking probiotics for several weeks after the cleansing period is over.

Co$$ee 0neas
1nemas are &uick ways to remove toxins from the colon and body. A coffee enema is believed to
detoxify the liver by rapidly emptying the colon, enhancing liver detoxification, and increasing the flow
of bile and the elimination of toxins through bile. -ome people claim that it provides immediate relief
to toxicity symptoms, such as congestion, indigestion, pain and headaches.
5offee enemas should only be performed under supervision by a holistic medical doctor, naturopathic
physician, or herbalist.

simmer for 18 minutes. -train using a very fine sieve. Allow this li&uid to cool to body
temperature '3+.9 %). !t should feel comfortable to the touch.
2. #our this li&uid into the enema bag, clamping the tube as you pour. 0ubricate the no..le with
the olive oil.
". :ang the enema bag between 1 1(2 to 2 feet above the floor in the bathroom. The higher the

used to insert. 4ove the enema bag higher or lower to ad;ust the flow of the solution into the
colon.
9. <etain the solution for about 12 to 12 minutes. To encourage the solution to reach all parts of
the colon, you can lie on your left side for " minutes, your back for " minutes and your right
side for " minutes. =ou may hear or feel a s&uirting of fluid below your right rib cage. 4any
people believe that this is sensation is due to the release of toxin-laden bile.

with gallstones should not try a coffee enema.
0xternal Detox
Contrast s!o(er
The contrast between hot and cold water increases circulation, promotes detoxification and strengthens
the immune system. This helps bring nutrients, oxygen and immune cells to damaged and stressed
tissues and carries away metabolic waste, inflammatory by-products and other toxic substances.
!nstructions6
1. -tart with three minutes of hot water followed by less than one minute of cold water.
2. <epeat this pattern at least once, always finishing with cold 'e.g. " minutes hot - 1 minute cold -
" minutes hot - 1 minute cold).
*auna
4any cultures use sauna cleansing as a regular part of detoxification and cleansing. !t is a powerful
method of eliminating environmental chemicals that are stored in fat cells.
!nstructions6
1. %ind a dry heat sauna that has not been treated with toxic chemicals.
2. =ou should not be hungry, have ;ust eaten, or feel weak.
". 1xercise for 22 to "2 minutes. 5ardiovascular exercise, such as running or using a treadmill or
exercise bicycle, is necessary to stimulate the circulation of blood and lymph to the deep
tissues.
$. The recommended length of time in the sauna varies according to the condition. -ittings of
about 18 minutes at a time are recommended in a low temperature sauna. !n advanced sauna
cleanses, up to $8 minutes at a time are recommended, but it is essential that the sauna be low
temperature and the person stays hydrated with water and minerals. :eavy sweating after 12 to
18 minutes is a sign that the sauna is too warm.
8. !n order to increase circulation and mobili.e chemicals from fat tissue, niacin supplements are
sometimes recommended for 2 to " weeks with daily sauna therapy. A health care practitioner
should be consulted to ensure the safety and efficacy of the detox.
*-in #rus!ing
-kin brushing facilitates skin cleansing by stimulating the lymphatic system to eliminate toxins through
the skin. Approximately 12? of body elimination occurs through the skin, working in con;uction with
other organs of elimination such as the colon, kidneys, and lungs. !f one of these organs is stressed and
not eliminating waste products efficiently, a greater burden may be placed on the remaining organs.
This is why people with chronic constipation often have skin conditions such as acne.
-kin cleansing is essential for eliminating pesticides and other drugs and environmental chemicals. !t
also improves blood circulation throughout the body and removes dead skin cells and debris that clog
pores
!nstructions6
1. uy a natural, not synthetic, bristle brush, since it does not scratch the surface of the skin.
2. uy a brush with a long handle, so that you@re able to get to the areas of your body, that are not
easy to reach, when doing your own skin brushing.
". -kin brush, before showering or bathing, at least once per day, and twice, if possible.
$. *o not wet skin, since it will not have the same effect, because this stretches the skin.
8. rush the soles of the feet first, because the nerve endings there affect the whole body, next
brush the ankles, calves, and thighs, then brush across your stomach and buttocks and lastly
brush your hands to the arms.
9. Always skin brush towards the heart.

Juice Fasting
Fuice fasting is a type of detox method and can aid in losing weight. !t involves the short-term intake of
raw vegetable and fruit ;uices only. #roponents of ;uice fasting use ;uices because they are rich in
vitamins and antioxidants. Fuice fasting is considered an extreme form of detoxification. 4ore gentle
detox methods are less restrictive and include a variety of foods.
Fuice fasts typically last for one to three days. 0onger fasts re&uire medical supervision as well as a
thorough assessment to ensure that nutrient deficiencies do not result.
6!o s!ouldn7t try 8uice $asting
!t is important to consult a &ualified health professional before trying a ;uice fast.
#regnant or nursing women and children should not try a ;uice fast.
#eople with diabetes, low blood sugar, eating disorders, kidney disease, liver disease,
malnutrition, addictions, underweight, anemia, impaired immune function, gout, asthma,
infection, nutritional deficiency, low blood pressure, ulcerative colitis, cancer, terminal illness,
epilepsy, or other chronic conditions should only fast under strict medical supervision.
#eople should not try ;uice fasts before or after surgical procedures.
%asting can reduce blood proteins and change the way prescription drugs react in the body.
#eople taking prescription medications should consult a health professional skilled in
detoxification before trying a ;uice fast, and should never discontinue or reduce their
medications on their own.
*ide e$$ects
5ommon temporary side effects include headaches, tiredness, hypoglycemia, contripation, acne,
increased body odor, and bad breath.
Bther side effects can include fainting, di..iness, low blood pressure, heart arrhythmias, weight loss,
hunger, vomiting, diarrhea, and kidney problems. !f these side effects occur, there is a worsening of
symptoms, or new symptoms appear, the fast should be discontinued and it should prompt an
immediate visit to a &ualified health professional.
Another possible side effect is diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and electrolyte loss.
!f continued for a longer time, fasting can lead to nutrient deficiencies, particularly protein and calcium
deficiency.
Crapefruit ;uice should not be used during a ;uice fast, especially if a person is taking prescription
drugs. A compound in grapefruit can increase the amount of prescription drugs in a person@s body.
<ecent evidence suggests that pomegranate ;uice may also increase blood levels of prescription drugs.
6!at a typical 8uice $ast in1ol1es
#roponents of ;uice fasting suggest it be done during the warmer months of the year only.
-pring is thought to be the best time of the year for ;uice fasting.
-even or more days before the fast, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, sugar, dairy, wheat, animal meat,
fish, and eggs are usually reduced or eliminated from the diet. The diet should consist mainly of
organic fruits, vegetables, and beans.
etween "2 and 9$ ounces of ;uice is usually recommended per day. The ;uice is sipped
throughout the day. Typical fruits and vegetables include celery, carrot, kale, cabbage, apple,
pineapple, cranberry, spinach, beet, and greens. 5itrus fruits are often avoided.
Approximately 9 glasses of room temperature or warm filtered water are often recommended in
addition to the ;uice.
Brganic fruits and vegetables are usually recommended. !f organic produce isn@t available,
practitioners suggest peeling the skin off fruits and vegetables or washing vegetables with a
non-toxic produce cleaner, usually available at health food stores.
%reshly ;uiced fruits and vegetables are preferred, but if unavailable, practitioners suggest
buying it from the health food store or ;uice bar as fresh as possible.
Creen vegetables and sprouts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which ;uice proponents believe
are especially beneficial during a ;uice fast.
A combination of fruits and vegetables is recommended.
/ariations on the strict ;uice fast include eating one meal a day in addition to the ;uice.
Take a mineral supplement. 4any people prefer li&uid mineral supplements. #eople with heart
or kidney disease should not take mineral supplements without consulting a &ualified health
care provider.
5ertain fruits and vegetables and their parts should not be ;uiced, such as the pits of peaches,
apricots, cherries, and other fruits, apple seeds, citrus peels, carrot and rhubarb tops, tough skins
'such as kiwi, pineapple, mangoes), and bananas and avocados.
