I also just wanted to encourage you to be sure and read up on fasting before you do it. . Fasting is a science and if not done properly,. can do you harm. ... When done properly, fasting is an incredible rejuvenator and health promoting practice.
There are a number of books available that will instruct someone on how to conduct a proper cleansing fast. If you do a search on Amazon.com ... you will find some of them there.
Also,.. make sure you are not taking any medications while you are fasting, .. as that can cause damage to the kidneys.
Be Well
I am on a fruit diet and eating 3/5 oz of protein which is chicken fish or lean beef. I can eat any fruit combos every two hours and at dinner time the meat and all the veggies I want steamed or boiled or fresh. 1T of dressing with salad if i wish 1/4 of an avocado and on saturday evening for one hour in the evening I can eat anything I wish. The fruit diet rids the body of toxins from the liver and clears out mucous and gall bladder problems and all around is a great cleanse. It also can make you loose up to 14 lbs in 14 days. I do feel great. Day four here. :-)
Those herbal "remedies" have been shown to do nothing, or to possibly even do damage to your body. You would do much better to forget about all that "voodoo" treatments, and stick with REAL doctors.
Toxins and foreign substances in our tissue can lead to premature aging, disease, and pain. Detoxing the blood can help if your body is not eliminating well enough on its own or you have been exposed to a large amount of toxins including pesticides, pollution, cleaners, hormones, etc. Toxins in the blood circulate until the body can eliminate them, and our body does an amazing job of eliminating toxins until it becomes overwhelmed. It then stores them, typically in fat (the body is so wise), sometimes they are lodged in organ systems; that's when they really cause damage.
There is a technique called chelation therapy that doctors perform that directly cleanses the circulating blood. It is great after chemotherapy or dental work that might release vapors.
Typically, people talk about herbs that can cleanse the blood. This is a bit of a misnomer, organs are responsible for cleansing the blood. What the herbs do is strengthen those organ systems. I am both a Western herbalist and an acupuncturist, but I am coming at this as a Western herbalist.
In Western herbalism, we have lots of great herbs that stimulate detoxification: cleavers for the lymph, dandelion for the liver gravel root for uric acid and kidney and so on.
Some people are confused when you mention herbs and think they are magic or something. Actually, most of the pharmaceuticals on the market were modeled after chemical constituents found in herbs. Pharmaceutical companies have been sending researchers to the rain forest, interviewing healers, matching the plant with the actions they have, isolating single constituents and patenting them for decades.
I am a classic herbalist, and believe that the whole herb is safer and more efficacious. Just like all the new research out for healthy diets is proving whole organic foods are better utilized by the body, so are whole herbs.
So these herbs have chemical constituents that hook into specific receptor sites or have certain nutrients that benefit or stimulate different organ systems. This is the Western herbal model.
