Pina - Here are my "tips" for the 3-day juice cleanse.
JOAN'S TIPS FOR THE 3-DAY CLEANSE


I have done this cleanse and it is wonderful but, here are some tips that experience has taught me …

Use pure apple juice from a health food store not the grocery store stuff. If you decide to juice you own apples it will take between 17 and 20 pounds of apples to get one gallon of juice, depending on the variety. By the second evening, it is hard to look at an apple much less have to clean and juice it! By the third day forget it!! And, price wise, it is about the same.

Try to drink all your juice or water within a few minutes so you have almost a full ½ hour between juice or water instead of drinking constantly all day - although it will seem like that is what you are doing! You need this time for each liquid to do its part.

Plan on doing this when you will be accessible to a bathroom.

Dr. Christopher's booklet talks about possible constipation. As long as there is color in the waste, you are fine. (You will know what I mean about 10 am the first day!)

Do not eat anything during the fast other than the fruit or vegetable matching the juice or you will be uncomfortable.

Absolutely use Distilled Water. This is a hungry water and will draw toxins out of the body. I am continually amazed at this cleanse. After consuming 6+ gallons of liquid in 3 days, any swelling in my hands or ankles is gone. The prune juice is also used to help clear the system of toxins.

If you decide to do any deeper cleansing, be sure to cleanse the lower bowel, liver & gall bladder, and kidneys BEFORE cleansing the blood. This is very important regardless of which cleanses you use.

Extremely important - swish every swallow in your mouth to mix it thoroughly with the saliva. This starts the digestive process and makes the entire process much more effective. This applies to anything you drink along with chewing your food to a liquid state before swallowing. These makes digestion much easier and you will get between 50-80% of the food value from the food & drink this way. The typical gulp & run yields about 10% assimilation rate and we are constantly “hungry” because our bodies do not get the necessary nutrients.

Question of curiosity... Would this fast still work as well if the solids were strained from the juice (or is that they point?)? I had a colonoscopy in December and I will do ANYTHING to avoid taking the HalfLytely prep again.

I'm wondering about the apple juice. A tiny bit of apple juice gives me terrible bloat. Is that normal?

Kayla, my DH is allergic to apples and this is his reaction as well.

You can do the fast with grape juice instead or another type of juice. Every Woman's Herbal goes into this and grapes are very cleansing as well.

You can use Grape Juice or Carrot Juice for the cleanse - the key is to use the SAME juice for all 3 days.

There should not be any solids in the juice....hence the word juice.[B)][] This is not liquified apples, grapes, or carrots - is actually juice extracted from them.

Apples can be constipating for some people. Bloating can happen but the swishing helps. If you get too constipated, you can drink more prune juice or take some Lower Bowel formula.

Swishing the juice to thoroughly mix this with the saliva predigests the juice and even diabetics can drink fruit juice if they would to this simple thing![:0]

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for what you've shared with me so far BUT I really, really,really need the actual instructions for the cleanse: how much juice to buy; exactly how much I have to drink and when; I think I remember Joan telling me something about olive oil and lemon, etc., etc., etc.

Also, is one juice "better" for certain ailments than others?? I just want the "best" cleanse.

I pray that someone's going to be able to help me here because I SO want to do this on Monday so I need to buy everything I need this weekend.

Thanks again!

Pina - so sorry!! My sheet was for the tips, not the actual instructions. I will fix that later today.

You will need:
3 gallons of RAW juice, apple, carrot, grape. Apple is easiest for me and the nutritive value is incredible.
3 gallons of DISTILLED WATER - this is a hungry water that will draw out the toxins in the body
48 ounces of prune juice
9-18 T Olive Oil.
DIRECTIONS:

In the morning take 1-2 T Olive Oil and drink 16 ounces of Prune Juice
Then every 1/2 hour throughout the day alternate the juice and water drinking 8 ounces or more. Do not gulp this! Thoroughly mix the juice with the saliva to gain the nutrients and make this easier on the stomach. Do not 'nurse' the liquids. You want to give the body the 1/2 hour interval to 'process' the liquids.
At noon and 5 pm take 1-2 T Olive Oil
If you are hungry in the evening, eat the corresponding fruit or vegetable.
If you experience constipation, take more prune juice or Dr. Christopher's Lower Bowel formula.

Here is information from Every Woman's Herbal that may help as well.

As you have noticed, the cornerstone of Dr. Christopher's healing methods is the three-day cleanse combined with the mucusless diet. Most people undertake the three-day cleanse once a month, although it can be repeated more often if the body is highly toxic.

In the morning, drink sixteen ounces of prune juice upon arising. This empties the bowels, and also draws toxic matter from within the entire system.

Throughout the day, we abstain from food and instead take juice of one kind only. Freshly-squeezed juice is much preferred to bottled juice, but pure, unsweetened apple or grape juice can work very well. Whenever you take juice, swish it slowly around in the mouth so it combines well with the saliva and begins digestion. Take a gallon of apple juice--or whatever juice you choose--throughout the day, alternating with pure steam-distilled water. If you become very hungry towards evening, take an apple with the apple juice, a carrot or celery with the carrot juice, etc.

Three times a day take one or two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, which helps the liver eliminate toxins.

If your bowels are not moving, either take more prune juice or two or more capsules of the lower bowel tonic three times a day.

Approximately three gallons of toxic lymph will be eliminated from the body, having been replaced by three gallons of alkaline juice.

After the three-day cleanse, start eating food gradually. The first day, eat some fruit for breakfast with one or two tablespoons of finely grated raw almonds. Continue to take your juice through the day, but for lunch you can have a raw salad. For dinner you should have salad again, adding a steamed vegetable.

When you start the mucusless diet, Dr. Christopher suggested some supplements which can speed your healing. Take a teaspoonful of cayenne in cold water three times a day. This is quite a bit to start with, so you should begin with 1/4 teaspoonful and work up to the full amount.

To assist digestion, put one tablespoonful of honey and one of apple cider vinegar in warm water, stirring until mixed. Sip this three times a day. This helps produce hydrochloric acid for digestion.

Use kelp instead of, or in addition to, sea salt. This provides many trace minerals and helps the thyroid gland rebuild. You can also take the kelp in tablets. If you cannot stand the taste, try dulse, which is milder, but still wonderfully full of minerals.

Take a tablespoon of molasses three times a day in warm water. You can also take it plain, but the molasses "coffee" is often preferred as a vitamin-B complex pick-me-up.

Take a tablespoonful of a good, fresh wheat germ oil three times a day. This provides vitamin E, which helps the system use oxygen.

Thanks so much Joan. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I have been wanting to do this cleanse for such a long time but was never able to set aside the three days where I could stay home. Monday's the day!! I'm so mentally ready to do this now and my poor body hs been crying out for it.

After this, I want to start the 6 week cleanse. I purchased all those supplements from you months ago but didn't want to start that cleanse without first doing this 3 Day Cleanse. So.....when do you recommend I start taking those supplements??

Thanks again,
-Pina
