Many people have reported help with many human ailments by spending
some time on a general body detoxication program. Below find such a
detox routine that's been used successfully in England for many years.
Please do check with a nutritionally-oriented health professional
before giving this a try, however.

A Detoxifying Regime
by Dr. Keki Sidhwa, N.D., D.O., D.N.H.

I have no doubt in my mind that long fasts have the best results in
chronic ailments. But not many people have the time or inclination nor
the necessary grit and commitment to undertake such a fast. For those
who want to detoxify themselves the following practical suggestions
will go a long way in helping them to detoxify.

Most people are quite capable of doing a three day water fast. Be sure
to obtain purified water only. During these three days, slow down your
daily activities - specially physical activities. Some may even find
it is better to take to bed and keep warm if the weather is cold.

After these three days - for one week put yourself on a monotrophic
diet , i.e. eat only one type of fruit at each meal.

For example: BREAKFAST could be melon only. Eat as much as you like
and feel satisfied that you have had enough. All types of melons are
good. Honeydew, Cantaloupe, Gala or Watermelon.

LUNCHTIME: Eat only oranges or Pink grapefruit or Pineapples or Plums
whatever you fancy but don't mix the fruits. Eat till hunger is
satisfied.

4 p.m. Have a large (12 oz.) glass of freshly pressed carrot juice.

EVENING: Eat only apples, pears, grapes or bananas. Eat only one fruit
at a time and eat till hunger is satisfied. During the week you can
vary daily the fruits you want to eat on that particular day.

You can resume your household duties or light office work but do not
exert yourself physically. Conserve energy. It is possible that some
of you may feel some reactions, like light headedness, nausea at
times, a little listlessness and feeling of tiredness and mental
irritability. Persevere - Rome wasn't built in a day. After all it
took you years to get into the toxic state that you now find yourself
into. The symptoms will go away eventually. Lots of sleep and rest are
essential at this stage so do not plan any social events.

After these ten days - I suggest you go for one month on an all raw
food diet as follows:

BREAKFAST: Fresh fruit only of oranges, kiwi's, pineapple, apple,
plums, pink grapefruit or any other acid fruits. You can now mix the
fruits. Eat enough to satisfy your hunger. Just one orange and one
apple will not be enough. You have to get your calories from the fruit
you eat.

LUNCH: Eat heartily of grapes, pears, bananas, mangoes, fresh dates,
and with this meal eat a head of lettuce, 1-2 sticks of celery and a
handful of dried raisins or sultanas, or 3-4 dried figs or 10-12 dried
Hunza apricots.

SNACK: 4 p.m. A large 12 oz glass of freshly squeezed carrot juice.

EVENING: A large Rainbow salad of grated red cabbage, grated carrots,
grated beetroot, chopped up celery, watercress, cucumber, and red or
green peppers. A dressing could be made as follows: Put 2-3 tomatoes
in the blender, 1 whole peeled large size avocado and a pinch of
marigold bouillon powder and 1 tea spoonful cold pressed linseed oil
or olive oil. Blend the lot and pour it on your Rainbow salad and mix
thoroughly. Enjoy it with some lettuce leaves. To this salad you add 3
ozs of nuts and seeds. Not salted nuts and not peanuts. Brazil,
Cashew, Almonds, Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds. Whatever you fancy.
Chew well or grind the nuts dry and sprinkle on the Rainbow salad or
put ground nuts in a blender, add just a little water and make it into
nut cream.

On such a regime - if you have not cheated in between - at the end of
that month you will feel cleaner, fitter, a little slimmer and more
energetic with the added bonus of some of your symptoms disappearing.
No cooked food should be eaten. Full activity can be resumed on this
raw diet. This regime has worked on thousands of cases.

The choice is yours. Remember no one can cure you. Your own body,
given the opportunity will rebuild itself.
