STEP 1 - preparation

PREPARATION
The diet is based on 75% alkaline foods and 25% acidic foods. That creates a nice chemical balance withing the body. No extremes.
The scientists have discovered that sick people's body ph balance was acidic while healthy ones' was alkaline

1) SUPPLEMENTS - MOST IMPORTANT!
Probiotics 3x a day with food for healthy colon bacterias (or as it says on the bottle). I get them in a pill for which is way more potent than eating those beneficial bacterias in plain yogurt! Find the kind that agrees with you the best.
You will need Acidophiles and Bifidus. That is the basic and most potent for a healthy colon! Buy the ones that are stored in refrigerator, they are the best!
Our toxic lifestyle (chlorinated water, antibiotics, meats, dairy, white flour, etc) depleats the body of the good, natural flora, bacterias and promotes overgrowth of bad bacteria (candida is one of them) which is the first step towards constipation, toxic overload of the liver, blood, skin problems, bad breath, bad body odor, fungi, etc

Digestive Enzymes: they aid us in digesting food in the stomach. We take them before eating, especially any cooked meals! Best to get those that are derived from food, not synthetic ones. I recommend SBG Zymes Plus. They are also microblended with Blue Green Algae which is a great supplement!

Fruits and vegetables contain digestive enzymes in them so when we eat them raw we can digest them. When we cook them or blend them, the enzymes are destroyed and the body has to take them from our organs (pancreas) in order to do digest. That is very stressful for the body, especially if the production of the enzymes is lesser (as we age) and the body has to take them from the bones which pulls calcium out of solution (enzymes keep minerals and vitamins in, they bind them together).


Blue Green Algae contains 40+ minerals essential for our health (again, our foods used to have them in them from the soil, but due to the industrail farming they now contain perhaps 8 instead of 50 minerals!)

ORGANIC COLD PRESSED Hemp Oil and Flax Seed Oil are packed with Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. They have the highest rate of Omega 3. According to Erasmus, Oil expert, Hempp oil is the best oil there is. Flax seed oil follows is by the hair.
These oils are essential, the body uses them to repair skin, cell maintenance, vein maintenance, etc
You cannot cook with them. Use them in your smoothies, pour them over you salad, in your juices, etc

2) FOODS
stick with organic foods! Avoid any food that is packaged, in a box container etc. Let it be fresh and living if possible. In this detoxifying process we DO NOT need any additional chemicals and preservatives. Go to your local Whole Foods Market or Farmer's Market, they have a wider variety of veggies and fruit. Ask people how they would prepare this or that. You will be surprised at how many foods you were missing before! You will begin to see what it really means to eat healthy and you will feel it, too!

Protein: frequently asked question! In our culture there is a false belief that we need a lot of proteins in order to live or feel well. That is not so. We are not carnivore beings, we are plant eaters (based on our digestive system and obvious proof that one cannot gain health on meat alone, but can do so on plant based diet alone)! We need our vegetable based proteins, not animal ones! You will get enough of it in one cup of oatmeal or carrot juice or a small hand full of nuts or a big hand full of kale and spinach.

People often feel hungry when they stop eating meat. That has nothing to do with lack of protein as it does with NOT ENOUGH OF CALORIES. Meat is a slow and hard to digest food and it is full of calories. It sits in out stomach for quite some time, giving us a feeling of fullness. Eating meat-free foods only means that we have to eat more often and get educated about vegetables.

3) JUICING
The purpose is to give the body as many nutrients as possible and when we drink our vegetables, we can drink a lot more than what we could eat. Plus we have a bad habit of not chewing our food well enough, so a lot of the nutrients which are IN the food, cannot be extracted since the food just "falls through us". By juicing it you eliminate that problem.
 Another very very important tip about juicing is having the right juicer! We cannot have the usual electric ones which have a blade inside. They rotate too fast, create too much heat and throw food particles all over the glass container. That treatment kills a lot of very important enzymes which are in the food and which is what our body needs!
The best juicer that is not too expensive is Omega 8005. It does not blend, cut your food, but it works on a press principle. It squeezes food and separates pulp from juice so that you can drink in 1 glass 4 carrots, 3 kale leaves, 2 apples, cucumber, etc which would take a lot longer to eat. See a demo here: 



You can also add another attachment (comes with) and juice with pulp, you can also make nut butters, fruit sorbet, and more. I own it and I love it!

SMOOTHIES 
Blenders like Vitamix are great to make nut sauces and many more things, but the extremely fast blending speed creates too much heat which is what kills the enzymes in food! Raw foodists who use this blender use also a lot of ice to keep the heat down.
In order to make my morning smoothes I use a cheap slower blender and instead of water I use fresh squeezed juice from my press juicer. That way each ingredient is full of enzymes and I only add bananas and pear and blend for 3 sec.

4) CLEANING THE COLON
I found it extremely beneficial! I would recommend COLON HYDROTHERAPY first. There a therapist will clean your WHOLE colon! It may take 2 sessions to achieve that. In our colon we have years of old toxins glued to its walls, disabling us to absorb nutrients and slowing down the colon's movements.Colon hydrotherapy also removes all bad bacteria and parasites. You will also notice loss in weight and be surprised how much of your weight was actual feces!
After that as you take probiotics to keep the colon's friendly bacteria flourishing and you will begin to juice and eat alkaline food with a high raw intake, you will not need colon hydrotherapy more than once a year.
You can also do enemas at home if constipation occurs. I do it once a week. I use distilled water per 1-2 or more gallons of water and in it I put 1 spoon of organic coffee. Coffee is acidic and so is our colon. Just water may be too harsh for it. NEVER use tap water as it contains chlorine which is a toxic gas known to kill all bacterias, including the beneficial ones!

6) WEIGHT LOSS
Chances are you will lose weight. I did. People have different body metabolisms and not everyone will lose a lot of weight. The main thing is calories! Keep them in and keep them coming and you will be fine!

For men who are concerned in this area, see the video in the link on your right: HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT ON VEGAN OR RAW DIET. It is a body builder, 15 years vegan male speaking about his diet and workout and showing off his muscles. He consumes a lot of soy. I do not recommend this during a healing process. Use other protein sources such as hemp protein which is a lot easier to digest and healthier, or grain, nuts etc. And remember that protein is for tissue building, NOT weight gaining! If you are not pumping muscles and just want to gain weight, eat starches!


7) HOUSEHOLD
Try to stay away from toxic chemicals. Do not touch them, do not inhale them. Try to use natural cleaning supplies, like baking soda and white distilled vinegar.
Throw away aluminum cooking ware and buy stainless steel! Aluminum leaks in high heat!

9) DO NOT CHEAT
Going out with friends and eating what they are eating despite your plan is not going to produce the results. People will tell you "Oh, it is ok to cheat just this time". Do not listen to others! Start empowering yourself with the power of your own will! You can do it! I did! Many others did,too!

10) One last tip : Remember, the 1st month is the worst one! After that you will begin to actually enjoy your new diet of simple dishes! You will be stronger when going out with family on picnics and you will be the only one bringing your own food. It will become ok. You will be ok with it! And you will actually gain self control! Wow!

  6. I've had eczema on my hands for the last few years. When I get especially dry the itching drives me nuts. Regular lotion helps but usually only briefly. Foderma serum, however, really helps. The relief is immediate and lasts. As longs as I use it regularly (apply once or twice a night) it even makes a difference through the next day.
