moves out of the cell and gets ‘stuck’?

The Cell – chronic disease; pain;

daily niggles

Lymph – fuzzy head, heavy body,

mucous discharge i.e. colds, lymph

glands enlarged

Blood – pain (‘itis’), irritation, exacerbation of existing symptoms,

itchy skin, rash

Liver – bloated, nausea, vomiting,

diarrhoea, constipation, anger, poor

decision making, haemorrhoids

“Acute’s are the cure”

Acute illness is Nature’s effort to:

• Eliminate waste and poisons

•Repair injury

What Happens When You Fast?

PHASE 1: Day 1 – 2

• YOU FEEL – Hungry; less energy; irritable

• YOUR BODY – Battery saving mode (BMR becomes more efficient to save energy)

• BENEFITS – fat in blood clears; mental fortitude; insulin decreased; cells begin to cleanse

PHASE 2: Day 3-7

• YOU FEEL – less hungry; possible acute symptoms; increased energy/clarity

• YOUR BODY – Fat Burning Mode (ketosis); digestive system repairing; immune system re-booted

• BENEFITS – deep cleansing; heavy metals expelled; change in body shape; dramatic improvement of mood and energy

How to PREP for fasting fun?

• Choose number of days

• Get a fasting buddy (or group)

• Decide TYPE of fast

• Let whoever needs to know – know

• Get your gear and ‘food’ together

PRE-FAST

TAKE TIME TO PREPARE YOUR

BODY/MIND e.g.

• Cut down on protein (especially animal Protein) and heavy foods.

• Increase raw veg/salads.

• Introducing juices three days before the fast.

POST FAST

Important: TAKE TWICE

AS LONG COMING OUT

OF THE FAST AS THE

NUMBER OF DAYS YOU

FASTED

Keep your diet CLEAN and simple.

The post fast stage requires care in re-establishing a normal and natural diet & supplements.

Walk out in the same way you walked in…re-introduce one CLEAN meal at a time.
