Whether you want to do juice fasting, a mono diet, raw foods, psyllium & herbs, enemas, colemas or colonics we can give you advice on where to get good products & how to use them, what kind of program you may need to follow, or which fasting venues around the world to check out. No one program suits everyone, & it’s important to fast with people who monitor your blood pressure & keep an eye on your fasting symptoms. We will shortly be selling a DIY fasting kit & my book will be pubished soon!

The more research you do before beginning a fast, the better in tune with your body you will be. Read books, google anything that comes to mind & ask the people running the program questions before you get there. Cleansing of any kind is more effective during the waning moon, over full or new moons, or during the solstice or equinox.

I am vehemently anti bentonite:

1. Putting people straight onto bentonite at the start of a program when they still have meat in their systems + haven’t done sufficient cleansing preparation is downright dangerous.

2. I have seen MANY clients days, weeks & months after a bentonite cleansing program who still have clay stuck inside them – which had turned to cement.

3. Most people don’t know how to prepare bentonite. How it’s done: take 1 glass of pure water. With a plastic or wooden spoon sprinkle 1 teaspoon of bentonite over the surface of the water. Do not stir. Cover & let settle overnight. In the morning carefully pour the liquid without disturbing the sediment (this must NOT be consumed – it will turn into a brick inside you). The water contains an electrical charge which attracts the unwanted toxic metals in your body. Even doing it properly like this you should wait till day 3 or 4 of your program. Be very attentive to your colon & whether it’s coming out. Stop taking it if in doubt & get a colonic asap.

4. Fasting facilitators who switch to a bentonite-free progam find fasters have a much easier time & that there are less uncomfortable detox symptoms, without losing results. The ‘Mucoid Plaque’ may not seem as dramatic…

5. Needless to say, don’t take capsules which contain psyllium, bentonite powder et al…

PSYLLIUM:

This wonder fibre swells up with 16 times it’s own weight in water, making it the most fibrous of fibres yet known (oats take in 4 x, wheat 1 x). It comes as powder (deeper cleansing) or husks (laxative) – they can be mixed together in equal parts to make a great fasting tool. It works as a broom, sweeping waste along as it passes through. If you allow it to swell up into a jelly before you drink it, it also hydrates the colon. If you waste your money on blended products with psyllium + other expensive ingredients – their benefits are lost. Anything that comes into contact with it is brushed through & gets absorbed by it, meaning the nutrient qualities are lost. Takes supplements or juices at another time of the day. Do NOT take psyllium in capsules – they don’t hydrate fully. Experiment: put a couple of capsules in a glass of water & see what happens. Stir them & see if you can get all the lumps out! The desired result is a smooth & consistent paste.

FRUIT:

If you suspect you have candida or blood sugar problems, do not choose a fasting program which offers only fruit juice. You will lost weight, but you’ll still have a bloated fermenting belly when you get home. Diluted green juices & a small amounts of carrot is suitable for candida sufferers – not apple juice!

PREPARATION + COMING HOME:

Most importantly – make sure you have time to prepare for the fast, as well as planning for a very careful breaking of the fast when you get home/end the program. Continued enemas and/or colonics are essential. Once the ball has started rolling it does not stop with your last dose of psyllium. THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OCCURS WHEN YOU BREAK YOUR FAST. Keep up the juicing & regular coffee/green/herbal/plain enemas or colonics. If you are feeling bloated or having cravings, it’s a sign you need to stick a pipe up your bum

C A N D I D A : J U I C E + S L U I C E

Most people have some Candida – whether it be localized fermentation or full blown systemic. The only way to tackle it is full-on for a sustained period. There are many different ways of treating it now & lots of different things to take, with varying protocols. I’ll list some links below to give you some ideas. The important thing is to avoid: yeast (bread, beer, marmite); refined grain flours (cake, bread, crackers, pitta, chapatti, roti); sugar (incl. fruit + honey); alcohol (wine & beer); mould (cheese); deep fried foods. For some people corn and cashews are also a problem.

Focus on leafy greens, fresh raw garlic (not capsules), raw olive & coconut oils, wholefoods + plenty of water.

Regular colonics (sluicing) & enemas (coffee, garlic & wheatgrass) help remove those yeastie beasties, while also reducing the effects of the die-off. Juicing greens is very powerful – try: 1 bunch celery, 1 head romaine/cos, 1 whole cucumber + some ginger. The chlorophyll supports the cleansing process. Dilute with water if it’s too strong for you.

Rotating anti-fungals is a popular method at the moment (see forums below) to prevent mutation – ie. horopito for 10 days, then ThreeLac for 10 days. You can take oxygen therapies continously (35% food grade Hydrogen Peroxide, Oxypowder, Colosan). Start off taking 1 drop of HP a day in 2oz water, building up slowly – always at that ratio. Always take any oxygen releasing product (all the above) on an empty stomach & wait at least an hour before consuming anything else.

In my experience Excema & Psoriasis are both related to bowel fermentation (+ dairy & sugar) & both respond well to colonics & ThreeLac. Sluicing is essential.

If you have mercury fillings you will need to get them removed before embarking on the Candida mission – your very smart body lets the Candida render the mercury less harmful to you; so mercury out 1st, Candida death 2nd. Your body is allowing the candida as a buffer to protect you from absorbing the metal – the candida will not be vanquished until the fillings are removed. Taking Zeolite is one effective method of removing heavy metals. Using a parasite zapper in conjunction with a candida program can be really effective.

Expect to feel pretty shit at times & to have fierce cravings. These will pass eventually & you will come through the other side feeling transformed. It can be a life changing experience – people often allow Candida into their lives when it’s time for a shift of some kind – be it emotional/psychological, work/physical or romantic. The Candida-free you will vibrate at a higher level & take you in a different direction, perhaps..
