my skin...

okay my skin feels so different. if you ever decide to really do the cleanse there are really awesome side effects. my skin feels so PLUMP, yes that is the word plump. i don't mean fat, but i mean hydrated. i'm not one to believe in lotions and potions, but i do believe in water. i think we are all just really dehydrated. you can truly feel the difference before and after. my face gets clearer and it's like you feel cleaner as the water is circulating throughout your body. the whole concept makes sense to me as every body is about is 70% water, the brain is 85% water, blood is 90% water... the human liver, one of our most vital organs is 96% water!

when i see stagnant water it looks disgusting, so i'm sure my body appreciates the needed water change. i hope this will have a significant effect on my overall health.

if you do this cleanse make sure you drink distilled water.

this makes sense and gives some helpful to do:
The first step is train yourself to drink more water... and there is a lot of good ways to do that... use a bigger glass... instead of the old rule of 8, 8 oz. glasses a day, use 8, 12 oz. glasses a day... The old rule of 8, 8 oz. glasses a day, 64 oz. was first published in medical journals 70 years ago.. before we had the level of exposure that we have today... before we had pesticide residue on our foods, traces of thousands of synthetic chemicals in our water and air. Our body will use 64 oz. Of water just for the basics each day... temperature control, skin hydration, digestion, energy production... in order for our body to be able to detox, flush out the toxins that make their way into our body... we have to drink some level of water above that minimum... and the more we drink, the more we allow our body to purify itself... 10-12 glasses a day minimum! Store your water in glass... it looks better... it tastes better and it's better for you, and you'll naturally drink more!

Increasing the quantity and quality of the water you drink is probably one of the most important health enhancement steps you can make!

I'm doing a cleanse....

"Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet" by Dr. John R. Christopher

Supreme cleanliness is the first step toward a healthy body. Any accumulation or retention of morbid matter or waste of any kind within us will retard our progress towards recovery. The natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.

The retention of body waste has an insidious effect on our health than is generally suspected, and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible progress.

To begin the three day cleansing program, the individual is required to undergo three days of detoxification therapy, then proceed with the mucusless diet:

First thing in the morning upon arising, drink 16 ounces or more of prune juice (unsweetened, if possible). The prune juice is not primarily to empty the bowels, which it will do, but rather to draw into the intestines from every part of the body such toxic matter or body waste as may be there, and eliminate it through the bowels.

After beginning with the sixteen ounces of prune juice, within one half hour take an eight ounce glass of undiluted apple juice. Swish each mouthful thoroughly (called chewing). Then, 30 minutes later drink a glass of plain water (preferably distilled), followed 30 minutes later with more apple juice.

The general procedure is: 16 oz. of prune juice first thing in the morning, then, 8 oz. of apple juice 30 minutes later, and 8 oz. of distilled water after that; repeating the juice and distilled water each 30 minutes throughout the day. One gallon of apple juice is consumed each day for an average size adult, or one ounce per pound of body weight. (This of course is an approximate and suggested dosage, as age, ability to hold liquids, etc., determine the capacity for each specific case.)

Breaking up the mucus during the juice cleanse generally causes constipation throughout the three days. Use more prune juice if needed.

Repeat this detoxification for 3 consecutive days. Thus, approximately three gallons of mucus and catarrh will have been eliminated and will have been replaced by three gallons of juice. This has resulted in speeding up the re-alkalinizing of the system.

During the three-day cleanse, take one or two tablespoons of olive oil three times a day, to aid in lubricating bile and liver ducts, etc.

On the fourth and subsequent days, we begin taking vegetable and fruit juices, along with raw fruits and vegetables. Then follow the mucusless diet as close as possible.
Do not be concerned if you feel weak during or after this detoxification. Our bodies are using the energies for internal housecleaning, soon an increase of energy will occur as a result of a cleaner healthier body.

Supplies that you Need:
54 ounces of Prune Juice
9 ounces of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
3 gallons of Apple Juice
3 gallons of Distilled Water

Natural Hair Bristle Brush or Loofah sponge (for dry brushing)

Garlic Oil for the Ears (soak cotton & sleep with in ears)
Epsom Salt for bath & Chickweed (for detox baths)
Vegetables (of the season) for Juicing, or buy Organic juices from the health food store.
Castor Oil, Shea butter or Olive oil for lubricating your skin after baths.
