Cleansing Food Programs

Dara Dietz
30 Day

Last week we began a discussion on Food.  Let’s dig a bit deeper by addressing the various food programs combined with good detoxing routines. There is no magic here; the various ways available for detoxing the liver are all aimed at supporting the liver in the function of clearing waste from the body. We can all understand the value of emptying the vacuum cleaner’s bag when full, if left unemptied the machine becomes useless.  Opening the channels so waste can flow from the body’s vacuum cleaner enables better function of the liver which includes better utilization of all the good nutrients taken in.

With this understanding in place establishing an acceptable detoxing program is vital.  A beginner at detoxing the body will do well to begin slowly.  Coming at a body that has never experienced the “joys” of a good detox can create a degree of discomfort.  The preparation before and during the detox will make all the difference in how well the procedure is tolerated.

Once the bowels are opened and the Foundational Programs have been established a good first time Liver Detox could go like this:

  • Do one Mild Liver Flush each morning for five days while consuming a Raw Food Program.
  • Follow with a Five Day Kidney Flush while continuing a Raw Food Program.
  • Drink one or two glasses of Fresh Juice each day.

The above program is a mild way to begin any cleansing journey.  Anyone fearing the discomfort often associated with a good detox would do well to begin here.

Stepping up to a deeper level of cleansing during the second week of liver flushing might look like this:

  • Do Two to Three Mild Liver Flushes each day while consuming a Raw Food Program
  • Follow with a Five Day Kidney Flush while Continuing a Raw Food Program
  • Drink Three or Four glasses of Fresh Juice each Day.

The amount of food desired during the day often decreases with the increase of juices and flushes.  If desired replace the meal with Superfood mixed in Fresh Juice.

The body is now ready to really get down to the business of clearing out the old while rebuilding for a better tomorrow.  After following the above suggestions a body can step securely into a strong liver detox program.  Here is what a strong week of detoxing might look like.

  • Three Liver Flushes each day while enjoying a revitalizing week of Juice Fasting.
  • On day five replace the three daily flushes with an L.F. in the evening.
  • Follow with a Five Day Kidney Flush while eating a Raw Food Program

For those who want to increase their detoxing experience beyond even this intense program, The E.L.F. can replace the daily liver flush drinks for one, two or for the entire Five Days during the liver flushing program.

Healing Basics: The Cleansing Crisis

Dara Dietz

treat-cancer240x240Most Natural Practitioners warn their patients that it is normal to feel a bit under the weather during the first few days of any good detox program.  Detoxing the body does not have to be problematic if handled correctly.  A basic understanding of the cleansing process will prevent or quickly end any toxic issues.

What is a Cleansing Crisis?

A cleansing crisis will occur anytime the immune system is unable to properly deal with the toxins ready for elimination.  A Cleansing Crisis can leave you feeling like you have been run over by a Mac Truck.  The body can feel achy from head to toe, congested, nauseated, very much like the flu.

These symptoms let us know the immune system needs some support. Internally the body has been using the alkaline foods and herbs consumed to clear waste from the tissues and organs.  This waste must now be moved up and out, where it will need to be neutralized by the immune cells.  Once the immune system has done its job the liver and kidneys can filter the waste for elimination from the body.

Toxins the immune cells are unable to neutralize will not be released into the blood.  This waste will be reabsorbed back into the tissue or organ.  Our internal body chemistry functions in an alkaline environment. Our blood must maintain a pH of 7.4. If it drops below that to 7.2 we die.

The cells of the body in health are alkaline. In disease the cell pH is below 7.0. The more acid the cells become, the sicker we are and feel.  Reabsorbing of the toxic “die-off” created during the cleansing process causes the body to feel toxic.

Prevention is the answer: Before beginning any cleansing program make it a habit to boost your immune system.  Echinacea is the most effective immune stimulator in nature.  Echinacea works by sending a chemical command to the immune system to produce more immune cells.  With ample immune cells to deal with the detoxing waste the body will not feel any effects from the cleansing process.

Incurables FAQ

Dara Dietz
questions

What is the Incurables Program? When should someone do this intense cleansing program?

The level and intensity of cleansing will be determined by the work you need to do.  It is important when possible to build up to the intense flushing programs.  Begin with the basic bowel cleanse for a week followed by two weeks of raw food while doing your first liver and kidney flushes.  The next step might be a five day juice fast and liver flush.  This powerful week of cleansing can clear many of those “knock’s and pings” accepted as a part of aging.

We all have issues in our bodies that bother us from time to time.  That dull ache on the right side just under the rib cage.  It comes and goes never too much of a bother.  Nightly leg cramps… just stuff we have come to accept as a part of life.  Everyone has headaches, right? Take a couple of aspirin to dull the pain.  These discomforts all occur because of blockage, a buildup of toxic waste in the body creating blockage.  Cleansing the body will clear out the cause for these little discomforts before they become something serious.

When you know there is a serious condition in your body it is time to do the full incurables program. The time has come to get those bowels opened, pull out that juicer and begin rebuilding your body with nutrient rich Juices.  While building with nutrition it is important to begin cleansing the bowels, liver, and kidneys.  Cleanse & Feed, this is how we assist the body in regaining a healthy state.

Keeping your liver actively pulling and dumping waste is key to removing any major disease.  This is done by flushing the liver repeatedly.  The intense program looks like this, castor Oil Packs over the liver every night, liver flushing every other week in addition to doing an ELF three nights a week during both the liver and kidney flushing schedules.

Clearing Out the Junk

Dara Dietz

Copy of CarrotJuiceToday is day four of my juice fast.  Yes, I decided to do it again this week.  I always feel so much better after a few days off food.  It is lunch time here at HEAL and Connie has cooked up a great smelling meal.  I enjoy the smell while reminding myself that food will still be there when I am ready to eat again. Last night I did an ELF (Big Liver Flush) instead of going to prayer meeting.  I am thinking of doing another one tonight.

One of the first questions I am asked when anyone finds out I have gone four days without eating food is: “How can you do that, I would be starving?”  The hunger is never an issue.  I know I am getting a huge amount of nutrition in the fresh juices.  I do get a desire to chew and swallow at times.  I choose not to dwell on this and it goes away quickly.

The serious hunger issues some people experience when not chewing and swallowing is emotional.  You are not starving; your body is being nourished by the juices.  The emotional need to chew something can be overpowering for those who have never done a fast of any kind.  I would suggest starting with a one day juice fast.

The quickest way off a fast of any kind is to allow yourself to get too hungry.  First timers might want to keep a juice in hand constantly to sip on.  Stay hydrated.  Drink 32 ounces of water first thing in the morning and again in the early afternoon.  This will flush the waste your system is dumping from your body.  Add a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to the water for an even better result.

Do not gulp anything.  Drink every glass of liquid slowly, swishing each mouth full around before swallowing. This allows the digestive juices in your mouth to mix with the nutrition.  The juices & water will be better utilized when ingested this way.

The benefits of juice fasting out weight by far the discomfort associated with not eating.  The mind becomes clearer.  The backed up congestion in the system is cleared. This alone would be worth the trouble as it eliminates many little nagging issues around the body.

No I don’t know how long I will continue.  I do plan to eat raw over the weekend.  Come Monday morning I’ll decide if I want to juice fast for another week.

Hydro-therapy / Castor Oil Packs

Dara Dietz

coldsheet garlic injectionThe Water Therapy Programs

High Enemas:

You must use a high enema every other day with an implant afterwards. Use only distilled water for the high enema.

A soothing Implant can be eight ounces of Aloe Vera gel and 8 oz of distilled water.

A good detoxifying Implant can be two ounces of wheat grass juice with 16 ounces of water.

An Implant that is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal is: 1-2 cloves of garlic blended into eight ounces of raw apple cider vinegar and eight ounces of distilled water.  The garlic implant is an excellent healing aid but it can be very intense.

Any of the healing herbs and foods available can be used as implants, use your imagination: An excellent blood-cleansing tea implant is red clover, or use Echinacea root tea for its immune-enhancing abilities

H&C 2smHot and Cold Showers:

This is the most effective way to move the blood and create circulation.  This should be done at least twice daily, and for some people, up to four times a day.  Do the complete hot and cold shower. Start with hot water for one minute, then cold for one minute. Repeat this seven times, so the shower should last about fifteen minutes.

Apply the hot and cold changes directly to the affected area, such as the breast, or the head, or the genitals.  Massage the area vigorously while you do the hot and cold showers.

Castor oil packs nightly are critical. There’s no excuse for skipping them.

castroil-itemsEvery evening, do a castor oil pack over the affected area and leave on all night long. You can do multiple castor oil packs over different parts of the body. They can be kept warm with a hot water bottle. Soak a minimum one-foot square piece of flannel. Heat the castor oil pack before you put it on.

Don’t be stingy with the size of the castor oil pack, or with the amount of oil you put on it. It is better to cover more of the area of your body than less. If you use more, you’re cleansing the nearby areas which are probably infected or congested also.

Go to your local fabric store and get some cotton muslin that’s used for making baby diapers. Buy a good amount and cut it up as needed.”

Here are a few suggestions for making thicker pads.

If you want a thicker pad buy heavier weight cotton and put it on, and kind of sandwich itCastor OIl pack in-between two pieces of the cotton muslin. This makes a really nice, thick pack.  If you have the time you can sew multiple layers of Cotton Muslin together with cotton batting inside.  Buy some good cotton batting or cotton felt, and put it inside, one layer of cotton batting and one of muslin on each side and stitch together around the edges.  This will hold a lot of castor oil.  Using more castor oil available over the affected area will allow the effect to go deeper and be more effective.

Cover the pack with plastic to keep it from soaking into your blankets and sheets–which may get stained anyway.  Cover the castor oil pack with plastic wrap, and then put on a thick, terry cloth robe.  To protect your sheets and mattress use the blue bed liners.

Baking soda, in addition to soap, is helpful in getting the oil off the skin in the morning. The baking soda seems to soak up the oil.

When the pack becomes stained with colors from drawing out toxins it is time to throw it away and replace it with a fresh pack.  It is not necessary to refrigerate the castor oil pack during the day.

A full body pack can be done by soaking a sleeping bag in castor oil and sleeping in it. If you plan to do this you will need to purchase a large amount of plastic sheeting to lay the bag on.

Be careful with castor oil, because it can spoil all your bedding and furniture. Use huge plastic garbage bags laid out flat underneath the the sheets. When I do a castor oil compress on my head, I cover the whole pillow, and the headboard of the bed, with plastic. When doing castor oil packs, use underwear and T-shirts that you keep separate from your regular underwear. Castor oil can leak into your undergarments, and you will never really get all of it out.

The Cold Sheet Routine Must Be Done if you want to get well.

The cold sheet treatment, also known as the artificial fever routine must be a part of any healing program. Do the cold sheet treatment once or twice a week.  You will become more comfortable with this procedure by the second or third time around.  Complete detailed instructions are available on-line in our Hydrotherapy E-book.

Do NOT skip the cold sheet routine and do everything else.

There is NO herb or physical exercise that substitutes for this treatment. If you wimp out, your body loses.

The Importance of Bowel Cleansing

Dara Dietz

The Importance of bowel cleansing can never be over stated.  Sadly we humans like to believe we are just about normal.  Many have no idea how sluggish their bowels actually are.  It is impossible to live the experience of another.  We can observe from inches away.  Support them with loads of heart felt compassion and physical care, but at the end of the day that is not our life.  The pain or joy we have been privy to belongs to someone else.

Bowel-cleansing Information SheetDownload
Bowel Cleansing Program
Bowel Cleansing
Bowel Issues

One of the most personal functions in life is the elimination of waste from our bodies.  This is something we seldom share with anyone.  The isolation alone precludes the ability of judging how the body is functioning.    The best information I’ve read on the subject of what normal bowel function looks like is: The Bowels are functioning normally when there is a large bowel movement shortly after rising in the morning, and an addition movement after each major meal.  This would be an average of 3 to 5 movement a day depending on how many meals you eat.  The texture of the movement should be slightly formed and the consistence of peanut butter.

Preventing hard fecal matter from forming in the bowel is the first step in preventing hemorrhoids. Pushing hard fecal matter through the soft tissue of the rectum is what causes hemorrhoids.  The hard material breaks down the tissue until the veins begin floating to the surface causing much discomfort.

Why & When to Flush

Dara Dietz

liverflushdrink1Hardly a day goes by without the subject of liver flushing popping up.  Either someone needs to do the incurables program for a major issue or their program was working very well but has stalled and they want to know why.  A good understanding of flushing the liver is important for anyone wanting to hold onto or regain their health.  The liver is the vacuum of the body.  No infection, disease or condition is healed or cleared from the body without the aid of the liver.  The Liver is the more important detoxing organ in the body.

Backed Up Liver Needs to Be Flushed

Many members start a program to heal an issue and are thrilled during the first few weeks to see their symptoms disappearing and their energy rebounding.  Then about a month or two into their healing or rebuilding programs they begin slipping backwards.  I get a call or email asking for help because the herbs are no longer working.  Since I know the herbs do not stop having the nutrients needed to heal the body the real question is what has stopped working.  The answer most often is, the Liver is full and needs a bit of attention.  A nice week of liver flushing and the program is back on track.

Liver Flush Once A Month

liverflushdrink2When doing a good healing program of any kind it would be advisable to flush the liver at least once a month if not more often.  While clearing an infection or some other system wide issue it might be necessary to do an ELF every week. Flushing the liver is a safe simple way of supporting this important filter to work more effectively as it clears the issues from your body. I have personally seen stubborn knee pain cleared by a week of juice fasting and liver flushing.  Anyone choosing to eat unprocessed natural foods can expect to feel better. The body is being nourished and supported with the needed nutrients for building healthy flesh and blood.

So why do so many feel so bad when they first begin to clean up their food program?

Several reasons factor in.  The first place to check out is the bowels.  Make sure this important organ is open and working well before beginning any healing program or cleanse.  A healing crisis can be triggered by something as simple as adding a glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice to your food program.  The body receives a healthy dose of alkaline rich food and will not need permission to begin cleaning house.  A good example of this would be to throw soapy water on a dirty floor.  The water will immediately cut the filth and absorb all it can carry away.   The moment the clean soapy water touches the floor it begins dissolving curd and breaking down the grim.

Alkaline; the Body’s de-grimer

This is how alkaline nutrition works in the body.  All fresh, unprocessed, uncooked foods are alkaline rich.  Toss fresh juice into a toxic system and watch the waste rise to the surface.  Sometimes the reaction will be so strong the drink will come right back up.  This is because the system is backed up and the waste being released cannot find an open door through the normal channel so all the toxins suddenly released into the stomach must go somewhere.  Don’t be deterred, get the bowels moving well and the body will be able to process the waste out normally.

Copy of CarrotJuiceImmune Boosting with Echinacea

Boosting the immune system is another important part of any healing or building program.  There must be enough immune cells to attach and neutralize each piece of waste, toxins ect… flushed out.  If the immune system is unable to neutralize the waste then it will be reabsorbed back into the organs and tissue it was drawn from.  When the toxins are reabsorbed the body will begin to feel toxic and sick.  The saying “run over by a mac truck” comes to mind.  The head can ache, muscle and joint pain, nausea, loose bowels, mental confusion, depression ect…This is the healing crisis.

Foundational Programs

The best way to begin any new health building program is to start at the beginning.  The three Foundational Programs are for everyone.  1) Bowel Cleansing; 2) Immune Boosting with Echinacea; 3) Superfood & Fresh Juices.

Once these programs are established the sky is the limit.  You can begin the health building programs without fear of “the healing crisis” normally expected during the first few days of any good program.

Grape Fast

Dara Dietz

red&green grapesThis next week I am planning to do a Grape Fast.  A Grape Fast for detox is a great way to get the old crud out while flushing the body with life giving healing nutrition. It involves eating nothing but grapes and drinking nothing but water or grape juice for several days at a time. Grapes also have cancer fighting properties and are an excellent weight loss food.

Doing a Simple Grape Fast:

A grape fast can continue for several days or several weeks depending on how long you want to carry on.  A grape fast is done by consuming grapes for twelve hour periods followed by twelve hours of water fasting.  Consume the grapes gradually in small amounts over each twelve hour period. You are not eating a large meal but constantly ingesting the grapes.  For the next twelve hour period, you should eat nothing, drinking only water. I normally will plan to fast for five days at a time, deciding if I want to continue or stop at the end of each five day period.

What is the best grape for fasting?

Any grape will do as all grapes provide excellent nutrition to detox the body.  The very best grapes are purple grapes. They contain the most helpful ingredients for weight loss, detox and fighting cancer.  Try to get organic grapes if possible. The pesticide content in other grapes can be a problem considering the large amount of grapes you will be consuming. Juice them yourself if possible, include the seeds and skin.

How does a grape fast work?

Purple grapes and particularly grape seeds; contain numerous detox, cancer fighting and cleansing compounds which will flush toxins from your system. These include ingredients that can cleanse and detoxify the liver and kidneys. This is why a grape fast is ideal for weight loss and detox. When using a grape fast for cancer, the idea is to starve your body for twelve hours to fool cancer cells into rapidly consuming certain compounds from the grapes to fight the cancer.

Is there any danger involved in a grape fast?

A grape fast, in and of itself, poses no danger. Use Echinacea daily to avoid feeling weak from the toxins being flushed out.  Once they are gone you will be revitalized like never before.

Effect of Gallstones on the Liver

Dara Dietz

digestive system organsOver the next few weeks I want to share some great information on how important flushing the liver is and how a backed up liver affects every system of the body.  The health of the body and quality of life depend to a large degree on how well the liver is functioning.

The liver acts as a filtering or cleansing device for the blood; it even deactivates a limited amount of hormones, alcohol, and medicinal drugs. Its task is to modify these biologically active substances so that they lose their potentially harmful effects–a process known as detoxification. Specialized cells in the liver’s blood vessels (Kupffer cells) mop up harmful elements and infectious organisms reaching the liver from the gut. The liver excretes the waste materials resulting from these actions via its bile duct network.

A healthy liver receives and filters 3 pints of blood per minute and produces 1 to 1.5 quarts of bile every day. This ensures that all the activities in the liver and in the rest of the body run smoothly and efficiently.  Obstructive gallstones in its bile ducts greatly undermine the liver’s ability to detoxify any externally supplied and internally generated harmful substances in the blood. These stones also prevent the liver from delivering the proper amounts of nutrients and energy to the right places in the body at the right time. This upsets the delicate balance in the body, known as homeostasis, thus leading to disruption of its systems and undue stress on its organs.

Effect of Gall Stones on the Liver

A clear example of such a disturbance is an increased concentration of the endocrine hormones estrogen and aldosterone in the blood. These hormones, produced in both men and women, are responsible for the correct amount of salt and water retention. When stones congest the gallbladder and the liver’s bile ducts, these hormones may not be broken down and detoxified sufficiently. Hence, their concentration in the blood rises to abnormal levels, causing tissue swelling and water retention. Most oncologists consider elevated estrogen levels to the leading cause of breast cancer among women. In men, high levels of this hormone can lead to excessive development of breast tissue and weight gain.

Obesity and Liver Congestion

Over 85% of the American population is overweight or obese. Men, women, and children in this condition suffer mainly from fluid retention (with relatively minor fat accumulation). The retained fluid helps trap and neutralize noxious substances that the liver can no longer effectively remove from the body.  This unsightly side effect, however, helps the overweight or obese person to prevent or even survive a major toxicity crisis that could otherwise lead to a heart attack, cancer, or massive infection.

The problem with prolonged fluid retention in the tissues, though, is that it causes these toxins and other harmful waste matter (metabolic waste and dead cell material) to accumulate in various parts of the body and further congest the pathways of circulation and elimination. Whenever in the body that storage capacity for toxins and waste is exceeded, symptoms of illness begin to show up. These symptoms merely indicate that the body is desperately trying to correct these imbalances and heal itself.

Stones inside the Liver: Intrahepatic gallstones

Gallstones in the liver, which John Hopkins University and some medical schools referred to as intrahepatic biliary gallstones or biliary stones, tend to cluster together and form large obstructions that can lead to dilation of bile ducts. Intrahepatic gallstones are composed of mostly cholesterol and other bile constituents.

What makes bile so important?

One of the liver’s most important functions is to produce bile, about 1 to 1.5 quarts (0.95 – 1.4 liters) per day. Liver bile is a viscous, yellow, brown, or green fluid that at a pH of 9.5 is highly alkaline and has a bitter taste. Without sufficient bile, hydrochloric acid entering the small intestine from the stomach can cause burns throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Also, ingested foods will remain undigested or only partially digested. For example, to enable the small intestine to digest and absorb fat and calcium from the food you eat, the food must first combine with bile.

Bile Needed for Calcium Absorption

When bile secretion is insufficient, fat is not absorbed properly. The undigested fat remains in the intestinal tract. When undigested fat reaches the colon along with other waste products, intestinal bacteria break down some of the fat into fatty acids or excrete it with the stool. Since fat is lighter than water, having fat in the stool may cause it to float. When fat is not absorbed, calcium is not absorbed either, leaving the blood in a deficit. The blood subsequently takes its extra calcium from the bones.

Most bone density problems (osteoporosis) actually arise from insufficient bile secretion and poor digestion of fats, rather than from not consuming enough calcium. Few medical practitioners are aware of this fact and, hence, merely prescribed calcium supplements to their patients without addressing the underlying reason for the calcium deficiency.

Bile Needed For Proper Digestion

Likewise, the body also requires fats to help digest and make use of proteins and carbohydrates. To digest these fats, the liver and gallbladder must release sufficient amounts of bile. Poor bile secretion leaves these foods largely undigested, which subjects them to decomposition by bacteria. Persistent abdominal gas, discomfort, and bloating are among the first indications to show that this important liver function has been seriously compromised.

Besides breaking down the fats in our food bile also removes toxins from the liver. The liver is the most important organ of detoxification, and the health of every cell depends on how efficiently it rid itself of these toxins.

The bile constituents, bilirubin and biliverdin, process significant antioxidant and anti-mutagenic properties. Higher concentrations of bile pigments in the body have been linked with reduced prevalence of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Bile: Natural Laxative

One of the lesser-known but extremely important functions of bile is to deacidify and cleanse the intestines. Bile serves as the body’s natural laxative. Constipation and sluggish bowel movements are the commonest consequences of impeded bile secretion.

When gallstones in the liver or gallbladder have critically obstructed bile flow, the color of the stool will be tan, orange-yellow, or pale as in clay, instead of the normal brown.

Gallstones are a direct product of an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. Even if someone has successfully dealt with all other causes of chronic illness, if gallstones are still present in the liver or gallbladder, recovery may be short-lived or impossible.

Gallstone’s detrimental effects

Gallstones pose a considerable health risk and may lead to illness and premature aging. Over the next few weeks our newsletter will carry a description of some of the detrimental effects of gallstones on the different organs and systems in the body. When these stones are removed the body as a whole can resume its normal, healthy activities.

Starting Week Two of My Juice Fast

Dara Dietz

fresh juiceToday I start the second week of my extended juice fast.  My energy is up today, I feel great.  Why am I doing an extended juice fast?  It is my way of clearing the cobwebs from my life as well as kick starting my weight loss program.

The fresh juice I drink is only a part of my program.  I am using two tablespoons of Superfood three times a day.  Clear distilled water 32 oz. three times a day.  Apple Cider Vinegar one tablespoon in 16 oz. of water twice a day.  Psyllium Husk Powder 1 rounded teaspoon once a day in my evening Superfood.

My need for the LBF #1’s has gone up by three capsules a day.  This was expected.  The waste coming from the liver has no fiber and sits heavy in the bowel.  I’ve lost 11 pounds since beginning my juice fast last Monday.  I can already feel the need to do a liver flush again.  Flushing my liver has been on my schedule since last Friday.  Hopefully I’ll be able to do an “ELF” tonight.

One really weird item: This past month I’ve developed heavy crystals in my left foot.  After setting for any length of time the first step I take feels like I’m crushing glass under my foot.  The sharpness crushes away as soon as I step down.  I’ve never heard of our felt this type of heavy crystals before.  They went away for a couple of weeks after my last liver flush.  It’s apparently time to clean this house I’m living in.
