Orange and lemon juice, a similar green juice and the spirulina and chlorella smoothie. This is the 7^th day on the phyllium and clay and the 10^th and final day of the entire cleanse. The joint pain that I was worrying about, for several days, has finally lessened.

I will break the cleanse, this evening, by eating a nice vegetable minestrone. It is important not to over tax the digestion system by eating heavy foods after a cleanse. Light foods, in small portions, are advisable. Tomorrow I will start taking a probiotic and drinking kefir to restore any lost intestinal flora. In spite of being ill, this cleanse was easy and totally worth it. However, I think my body wasn't finished detoxing. Maybe in a couple of months I'll do another one to finish removing all the years of accumulated toxins.

Feeling better and am so glad that I rode it out yesterday. Skipped the ginger in the citrus juice today and added blackberries instead. Continuing with the green juice, the phyllium and clay and the algae smoothie. Tomorrow will be the last day of the cleanse. I had considered going on a cleanse about a year ago, but kept putting it off. I thought it would be difficult.  I am surprised at how easy it was and how much strength throughout the cleanse.

I have been experiencing increased joint pain. I'm not sure if this could be a sign of healing or an indication that I should stop the cleanse. I've heard that inflammation, aches and pains and other symptoms can arise when the body is strong enough to help heal itself and toxins are being eliminated. I'll try more juices and give it a little time. I'm thinking this might just be a part of the process. Same citrus juice and green juices. It's the fifth day on the phyllium and bentonite.

It's already day seven and I'm not even hungry,  my body is probably getting all the nutrition that it needs from the fresh juices and smoothies. I am feeling stronger, lighter and healthier every day.

I added  a knobby chunk of ginger root to my orange and lemon juice today. Ginger eases nausea, headaches,  aches and pains. Found some Cara Cara oranges which supposed to be higher in vitamin C than regular oranges. Generally foods of darker, brighter color mean more nutrtients and phytochemicals. Green juice pretty much the same except I added mung, clover and alfalfa sprouts. Continuing to see results with the clay and fiber. 

Didn't cough last night. Night sweats but slept great. Feel stronger and more positive emotionally compared to yesterday when I felt down after hearing some discouraging news. Sometimes it's not just a person's body that need cleansing, but also their emotions. Even my mind seemed to purge of negative thoughts as they raced through. I'm sure that it's all part of the healing process. It's the third day on phyllium and hydrated bentonite with plenty of water. It does indeed clean out the pipes! Juice today is orange and lemon, same ingredients in the green juice except I added a little beet root. Added a tablespoon of flaxseed oil to my smoothie today. Beets are loaded with amazing properties which purify the blood, detoxes the liver and increases glutathione levels in the body. Glutathione has the ability to pull environmental toxins into the colon where they are then be eliminated. To make today's smoothie I put a cup of nut milk in a blender added one generous tablespoon of spirulina and chlorella powder, 1 tablespoon of flax oil, a frozen banana and blended it until smooth.  

Coughing today. Coughed for a couple of hours, last night, having to get up and down until I put a couple drops of oregano oil in a glass of water and drank it. Slept very little and am tired, but I'm grateful for the little sleep I got. Pineapple juice with a harbenero pepper, the same green juice drink recipe as yesterday, phyllium fiber and hydrated bentonite, lots of water. Tommorow will be the third day on phyllium and bentonite. The third and fourth days are when the body rids its old accumulated mucoid buildup. Though it may be a gross subject to some people, milk and cooked foods clog the colon with hardened mucous creating a set up for disease. While toxins are being removed from the body, it is not uncommon to feel spacy like I do today.

Added a smoothie of high protein, immune boosting spirulina and chlorella to help fight off the rest of this thing. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, spirulina may have the ability to prevent some flu viruses from replicating.

Had chills and night sweats, but slept and feel fine otherwise.

Consumed 1 quart of orange juice plus 1 quart of green juice with the fresh turmeric root instead of the pepper and no cucumber this time.

Added phyllium fiber and colloidial bentonite to a cup of tomato juice and drank this four times today. Physllium fiber reduces hunger cravings and along with the liquid bentonite, detoxifies the colon by absorbing toxins. Psyllium scrubs clean the colon while bentonite actually pulls out toxins and dumps them in the colon for elimination. Toxins such as radiation, heavy metals, drugs and other harmful substances are removed from the body in this way. It is important to drink copious amounts of water to help assist this process and to offset the drying effect of the clay.  

Slept well. Headache and sore throat gone. Toxins are being eliminated from every channel. Still have chills off and on and now have a cough.

Garlic, nature's antibiotic, has been doing its anti-bacterial job well.

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj the potassium in orange cannot be utilized by the body without a small amount of salt. So I added 1/2 teaspoon of Real salt to my quart of orange juice today in order to ensure that the potassium will be utilized by the cells of my body. I added one lemon as well.

Same green juice recipe except instead of the harbenero I added turmeric root. Turmeric root, rich in curcuminoids, is an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and a natural cough, cold and flu remedy. However, as with many natural substances, turmeric should be avoided by certain people. Fortunately, I'm not one of them. 

Sinus head ache and chills. That's good because chills can be a sign of cleansing. Just means I'm on the right track and need more liquids. So I'm flooding my system today with plenty of water, fresh juiced orange juice and green juice made with the same ingredients as yesterday. That harbenero pepper, feels good on the throat. Harbenero peppers are great for detoxifying and breaking up congestion.   

Beginning a Juice Cleanse

Hi, my name's Ginger Miller.  Brian's blog has been such an inspiration to me, that when a sore throat developed, I decided to go on a juice cleanse as well. I am using produce from the grocery store since the price of organic fruits and veggies is so expensive for juicing. Today I drank about 3 cups of pineapple juice, 2 cups of lemonade with stevia (from fresh juiced lemons) and 3 cups of green juice drink of lettuce, parsley, celery, garlic, carrots, cucumber, tomato, a small harbenero pepper, apples and an entire onion. The onion, high in quercetin a free radical scavaging antioxidant and antibacterial, with garlic and pepper should be very effective in helping my body get well. A trick I learned, from one of my friends, is to add some of the rind of oranges and lemons while juicing them. Both the white part and the colored part. She said that the white part is rich  in bioflavonoids while the colored part is a natural antihistamine. It seems to work.   

Final Day!

Well everyone, Ive made it 10 whole days. I am super week, have lost about 6 pounds, and am ready for some real food!

Day 6: Over the hump

Hello everyone! Well, here we are at day six, and I feel like a withered and weekend man. My whole body is soar, and I felt like the flu hit me like a freight train yesterday. Yesterday all I have was the master lemonade, and my body was cleansing at an extreme rate. My nose was constantly running all day, and I probably went through about three rolls of toilet paper trying to keep my nose clean. Today I am going to start incorporating smoothies too, so I have the strength to get back to work by Monday. For this reason the last three days of smoothies and the last four days of the modified master cleanse starts today. Happy cleansing everyone!

Day 5 Halfway through!

Hey everyone, I was a very good boy yesterday. I stuck to the plan 98%, I did have two dark beers, but I( think the dark beer is helpful in cleansing the body and providing it with a little extra sustenance that I wouldn't get otherwise.. One bummer thing is that my flu started to come back last night with a vengeance in my head. I woke up at 3am and couldn't breath, so I took some Robitussin. My friend Koz McKev, once told me that the winter time was time for cleansing, and I think I understand his reasoning. When we get sick, its out bodies telling us that we have a virus, and we need to clean out our systems.. Yesterday I had an avocado for lunch, and ate raw almonds, cashews, and sunflower seeds throughout the day. Today I plan on having more raw fruits than nuts. I feel my muscles getting weaker, but I am also noticing my belly pooch is starting to dissolve. I have decided that after the cleanse is over on Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on if I take a zero day this week, because I am thinking about just blasting through the last 5 days since this nasty flu came back), I am going to adopt a raw diet until I can shred off the rest of the belly. After the belly is at a size that I think I can get a six pack to shine through, I will start the 100% fitness plan.

Cleanse day 4

Here I am at day four. I am definitely losing weight. I am not exactly sure how much weight I have lost so far, but I can definitely see more definition in my abs. Yesterday, I did go a little off of the diet plan, but I'm still ok with a little room for unplanned munching. The only real food I ate yesterday besides raw, was a tiny slice of burrito and a little shot of coffee from the Trader Joe's sampling table, and in the evening I ate one fish stick and one shrimp off of my daughters plate, and again I had four beers. I think the hops in the dark beer is helping my body kill of the rest of this flu virus, but I have been drinking one dark beer, then three lighter beers. Tonight I am going to stick with the just one dark beer. My muscles do feel a little weakened, but I'm almost halfway through my time dedication. Since I am allowing myself a few bites of real food, I haven't had any weird cravings. I am still going to have my zero day on Saturday, because I still think that is an important element of any weight loss/cleansing plan. However, I will be eating vegetarian even though theoretically I could eat anything.

Cleanse Day 3

Well, I did eat some food out of the plan last night, but it was very small. I had 10 bites of my daughters spaghetti and meatballs. I also had about 4 ales, which is definitely not in the plan, but I think the hops helped kill off even more of my flu.Im still working on it, and I think that it may be a good idea for people to ease into this cleanse, instead of just jumping right in. It works for me thus far anyhoo! Well loyal readers I'm off it take my daughter to the Doctor again because she might have contracted a staff infection from her preschool. You have a fun day :)

Soaring-Chi Cleanse Day 2

Hey everyone! Last night I was naughty. I did good all day, but as soon as I tasted my daughters chicken pot pie to make sure it wasn't too hot for her, i spiraled into a feeding frenzy. However, I did not have enough raw fruit and nuts to get me through the tough time. Today I will stock up on pears, apples, bananas, oranges, and some yummy raw nuts to satiate my evening cravings. Throughout the day its just my modified masters cleanse lemonade drink. Cheers to day 2!

Master Cleanse day 1!

Hello dear friends. Today marks day 1 of my modified master cleanse. So far a little hungry, but motivated to go strong. What has prompted this was a nasty flu. I didn't get sick at all with the smoothie and juicing routine, but a week after I slacked off I instantaneously got the flu. This prompted my decision to go out and buy a whole bunch of lemons to juice. I almost completely wiped out the flu that I had in one day, but the poisons in my body are still lingering. From now on, whenever I get sick, I have decided to jump right into a modified master cleanse. After day 10 I will give the recipe and technique of my modified master cleanse. For now, read the struggles of cleansing and going without solid food for one week.

Day 27!

Hey everyone, we have officially hot day number 27. With only three days left to complete my 30 days of drinking smoothies for breakfast it feels like it has been a long windy road going up an d down hills. Originally, I had planned to start posting smoothie recipes everyday for thirty days. However, I have decided to change plans. Instead of going right into posting smoothie recipes, I have decided to start a modified 10 day Master Cleanse starting tomorrow morning. After the 10 days are over, I will start posting the last three days of the smoothie mission, and transition right into the 30 days of smoothie recipes. Happy Easter everyone, and I will see you tomorrow for day one of the Master Cleanse!

5 days off, first 24 on

Well, it's been a rough week. My daughter caught the flu, and shortly after I got it too. I created some awesome hypnosis dub step music, that turned out really awesome over a two day period, before my voice went out yesterday around 2. I juiced 2 bags of lemons when I got home, two apples, and a huge hunk of Ginger. Mixd in enough honey to drink. I got my protious today, which is the final item to compete all the needed equipment for the launch of Scientific Hypnoneurotherapy.
