The last theme of this blog is The Cleanse. This is what we call it. It is actually called The 28 Day Cleansing Program and is outlined in a book by Scott Ohlgren. Some of the claims he makes are kind of extreme and I don't really believe them, but overall the diet has really good principles that make sense. I've done it before and felt fantastic which is enough evidence for me to do it again and again. So I started again yesterday. Here are the rules:
Forbidden List
1. Rule #1 is Do Not Go Hungry
2. No Dairy
3. No Processed Grains (this includes any product which contains flour as well as any other product containing a processed grain )
4. No Processed/Refined Sugar
5. No Meat (however, if you are working out regularly you can eat organic eggs and fish)
Things to do Every Day
1. Drink AT LEAST half your body weight in ounces of water
2. Drink AT LEAST 12 oz. of fresh vegetable juice (this can also contain fruit)
3. Eat AT LEAST one food item containing live bacteria (ie. some pickles, sauerkraut, some soy products, some olives, some types of soy sauce, anything with miso, etc.)
4. Eat AT LEAST one food item rich in minerals (ie. celtic sea salt, some type of seaweed)
5. Perform AT LEAST one of the 7 daily cellular cleansing activities (see below)
6. Live Organic (eat organic whenever possible, use organic/natural personal products)
7 Cellular Daily Cleansing Activities
1. Skin Brushing
2. Cardiac Sweat
3. Sauna Treatment
4. Massage
5. Colon Cleanse
6. Mineral/Salt Bath
7. I can't remember #7 right now
