Colon Detox Plan

3 to 5 Day Nutrition Plan

The 4 key elements: enzymes from high chlorophyll plants; fiber from fruits and vegetables: probiotics from cultured foods like yogurts; water of at least eight glasses a day.

The night before your colon cleanse...
Try a gentle herbal laxative: Bloat Release™ Tea or Herbal Laxa Caps™.
Note: If you have a sensitive colon or irritable bowel disease (IBS), heal your colon before you cleanse. Avoid products with senna or psyllium. Use a gentle herbal cleansing formula, with peppermint oil, like BWL-Tone I.B.S.™, to lessen inflammation and irritation of bowel mucosa which make the bowel more permeable to toxins.

  • Soak dried figs, prunes and raisins in water; add 1 tb. molasses, cover, leave to soak over night.

The next day...

  • On rising: take a cleansing booster product, like Herbal Laxa Caps™. Take 1000mg vitamin C with bioflavonoids to raise body glutathione levels.
  • Breakfast: discard dried fruits from soaking water and eat with a small glass of the liquid.
  • Mid-morning: take 2 tbsp. aloe juice concentrate in a glass of juice or water and 1000mg vitamin C.
  • Lunch: take a small glass of fresh carrot juice.
  • Mid-afternoon: take an herbal colon cleansing tea, Bloat Release™ Tea.
  • About 5 o' clock: a small glass of potassium broth, or fresh carrot juice.
  • Dinner: take a glass of apple or papaya juice and 1000mg vitamin C.
  • Before Bed: repeat the herbal cleansers that you took on rising with a cup of mint tea.
Eat a raw foods salad on the last night of your cleanse.

To boost your cleanse, add 2 or 3 cleansing boosters:

  • Chlorophyll sources: Energy Green Renewal™ Drink Mix
  • Enzymes: Dr. Enzyme™ between meals, great if you have food allergies, too.
  • Electrolytes speed up a cleanse: Nature's Path Trace-Lyte Liquid Minerals; Arise & Shine Alkalizer.
  • Antioxidants defeat pollutants: Country Life Super 10 Antioxidant; NutriCology Antiox.
  • Fiber support: Planetary TRI-CLEANSE; AloeLife FiberMate.

Note 1: Drugstore laxatives aren't really cleansers. They offer only temporary relief, are usually habit-forming, destructive to intestinal membranes, and don't get to the cause of the problem. The laxative so irritates the colon that the bowels expel whatever loose material is around.
Note 2: Bowel elimination problems are often chronic and may need several rounds of cleansing. Alternate cleansing with periods of eating a healthy diet.
