Supreme cleanliness is the first step toward a healthy body. Any accumulation or retention of morbid matter or waste of any kind within us will retard our progress towards recovery. The natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.
The retention of body waste has an insidious effect on our health greater than is generally suspected, and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible progress. To begin the three day cleansing program, the individual is required to undergo three days of detoxification therapy.
If nothing were done to replace something in volume equal to the quantity of
matter eliminated in the body, then the body would naturally be dehydrated. Therefore, by drinking fruit juices, we replace the toxic or acrid material removed. This procedure should have an alkaline reaction on our system.
There are various types of juice therapies–apple, carrot, grape, citrus, tomato, etc.- but only use the one chosen juice for all three days, and swish each mouthful thoroughly, (called chewing), so the saliva will mix with it; therefore our bodies can get all the nutrition and healing value from it.
Do not eat anything during the three day cleanse, although if you are very hungry towards evening, you may take some celery. When using apple juice, an apple or two is acceptable. With carrot juice, use carrots, and so on and so forth. Read more »
