Preparation for Colonics 5 to 7 days prior
- Stop eating and drinking all dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese, ice creams, etc. Substitute almond, rice, or oat milk products instead. Over 95% of the population is lactose intolerant. You never see a grown cow suckle another grown cow…it goes against all laws of nature.
- Stop drinking anything cold including soft drinks, iced teas, and water. This shocks the digestive system and makes it work harder.
- Drink filtered or spring water. Tap water is full of chemicals! A guideline is to drink half of your body weight in ounces between meals. So, if you weigh 120 lbs., you need to drink a minimum of 60 oz. of water per day and more if you work out or have a strenuous job that makes you sweat. Gatorade is full of sugar!!
- Substances like alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine are all neuron-toxins. This means they damage the nervous system and organs. It’s best to stop these during a cleanse.
- Explore wheat free breads, pasta and cereals. Whole Foods sells a brand called DeLand Bakery and their millet special bread is absolutely delicious. Be sure to look for "WHEAT FREE" and "YEAST FREE" on the package.
- Try simmering whole grains for a nice hot breakfast like millet, quinoa, buckwheat, basmati brown rice and kamut. Use what’s left as an addition to your lunch or dinner menu.
- Increase your consumption of leafy green vegetables like raw spinach, steamed kale or Swiss chard. They are full of magnesium, other essential nutrients and have a natural laxative effect on the bowel.
- Avoid fruits with the exception of papaya and avocado. Both laxative foods.
- Substitute red meats with fish, chicken, buffalo, Sunshine Burgers, Gimme Lean Sausage, seitan, beans and turkey. BUY ORGANIC!!
- Eat complete meals so you feel satisfied. Each meal must have a protein, a complex carbohydrate (grains), good fat and a vegetable mix.
- Good fats include organic extra virgin olive oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, pumpkin seed oil, flax, toasted sesame oil and coconut oil. All heart healthy!!
- Notice what foods make you bloated and avoid them for the whole preparation time. Then reintroduce and see if that is the offending food.
- Go slowly with all of this. If you start throwing away everything in your kitchen, you’ll have a family mutiny. Remember small changes will make a big difference.
