Day 37 of Juice Feasting - when to Juice Feast, or do another detox

Wii fitness games were on the menu before going to the airport. Ok, so wii fitness is not that reliable but for the purpose of boasting it is EXTREMELY reliable, as my wii "bio age" showed up as 35 y old :o) I just won't tell you it added 12 years the next day. :o(
We had so much fun, playing virtual tennis, doing balancing exercices that my new friend went out and bought me a board to thank me for helping her out of her rough patch. I was very touched, and she reminded me that before I showed up and did work on her, she didn't feel there was a point to life anymore, and seriously thinking of offing herself. So now, we will both live, and I will get fitter while having fun as well. Yeah!

After preparing all my juices for the day (cucumber, tomato, spinach, fennel) we loaded the car and took off to have "tea"(juice and e3live) with a girlfriend in her garden, before heading off to the airport.

In the garden, we talked about ... pooping. My girlfriend had started a mini juice cleanse, but was not having ANY bowel movements, several days in a row. She had to go for an emergency colonic. In cases like these, I do not recommend you start with a Juice Feast. You need to get your bowels cleaned and moving first.

I suggested to her that she do a smoothie regimen, with all the fiber, and take supplements and probiotics to re-educate her intestinal track, until she normally has 2 to 3 bowel movements a day, consistently. JuiceFeasting.com has a list of supplements that work great to re-educate the system (herbs), and to encapsulate the toxins (bentonite clay combination). Another great resource is Dc.Schultze's formula #1 for the reeducation and movement of bowel, and formula #2 for encapsulating the toxins and providing bulk. You get those at www.herbdoc.com
Arise and Shine also has a great all inclusive cleanse system. I prefer taking the bentonite clay combination in a pill rather than a shake, as it makes for a gooey unpalatable mixture, so my personal preference goes to Dc.Shultze, but you can mix and match, taking the bentonite shake in pills and the other supplements from Arise and Shine. Bentonite clay is great at encapsulating all the toxins released by Candida die-off.

Or, you can take all the supplements from JuiceFeasting and do a smoothie cleanse instead of juicing, until your bowels are re-educated. The smoothies can be fruit-free, in the form of blended raw green soups, in order to help re-establish balance and eliminate candida. You also want to make sure you are providing plenty of good probiotics to your body, in order to repopulate your intestinal track. Primal Defense, by Garden of Life, is a soil-based probiotic that will complement your probiotic regimen, and help clean up your intestinal track.

Once your bowels are normalized, you can then take it to the next level, by doing a Juice Feast. You need to make sure that your bowels are still moving consistently, 2 times a day at least, even when you stop providing fiber to your body and you are drinking only juices. The body eliminates toxins, dead cells and dead blood cells that way, as well as old impacted fecal matter. That is why enemas are part of the regimen, and the herbs and drawing formulas. Otherwise, you are just re-intoxicating yourself, and driving the toxins deeper in your body. If you are on the go, and just cannot do enemas, take the herbal formulas to keep drawing the toxins and keep everything moving regularly.

This is definitely one of the most important part of the cleanse, and should not be overlooked.
