I have to ask why do you want to do a long juice fast ?

We have got all of these Ian Xel Lungold films.

My husband loves them and watches them all the time.

I find them hard to watch because the quality is shocking and I get so irritated by that, that the actual message gets lost for me.

I would love it if we could get better quality DVDs

What Are The Effects Of Detoxification On The Body?

A single cell within the human body is more complex than the most modern supercomputer. The process of removing a hundred thousand antigens, each with unique molecular properties, from trillions of functioning cells is indeed a complex process. Imagine three trillion cells being repaired during the function of countless biochemical processes needed for life. Even the best mechanics have to turn off the engine. Yet, the body has millions of micro mechanics that do this with ease.

One of the body’s automatic maintenance processes is the destruction of foreign microorganisms. When looking through a dark-field microscope, countless parasites are clearly visible. I observed parasites living inside blood cells. Several could be seen eating cholesterol, and I was amazed to see one swim. Watching lymphocytes moving in the blood was like a science-fiction movie. These complex, lymphocyte organisms attached themselves and engulfed toxins. As they did, their colorations flowed into fascinating patterns leaving me with a sense of wonder and respect for the miraculous ability and infinite complexity of the human body.

The stages of detoxification
Here is an overview of the detoxification stages during a juice fast. The time periods are a general estimation.

Stage 1 of detoxification (Day 1 To Day 2)
On the first day of fasting, the blood sugar level drops below 70 mg/dl. To restore the blood to the normal glucose level, liver glycogen is converted to glucose and released into the blood. This reserve is enough for half a day. The body then reduces the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The rate of internal chemical activity in resting tissue is lowered to conserve energy. The heart slows and blood pressure is reduced. Glycogen is pulled from the muscle causing some weakness. The first wave of cleansing is usually the worst.

Headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath, glazed eyes and a heavily coated tongue are signs of the first stage of cleansing. Hunger can be the most intense in this period unless the enema is used which quickly assists the body into the fasting state by ending digestion in the colon.

Stage 2 of detoxification (Day 3 To Day 7)
Fats, composed of transformed fatty acids, are broken down to release glycerol from the gliceride molecules and are converted to glucose. The skin may become oily as rancid oils are purged from the body. People with problem-free skin may have a few days of pimples or even a boil. A pallid complexion is also a sign of waste in the blood. Ketones are formed by the incomplete oxidation of fats. It is suspected that the ketones in the blood suppress the appetite by affecting the food-satiety center in the hypothalamus. You may feel hungry for the first few days of the fast. This effect is temporary. The desire to eat will disappear. Lack of hunger may last 40 to 60 days, depending on whether you are on water or juice.

The body embraces the fast and the digestive system is able to take a much-needed rest, focusing all of its energies on cleansing and healing. White blood cell and immune system activity increases. You may feel pain in your lungs. The cleansing organs and the lungs are in the process of being repaired. Periodically, the lymphatic system expels mucoid matter through the nose or throat. The volume excreted of this yellow-colored mucus can be shocking. The sinuses go through periods of being clogged, then will totally clear. The breath is still foul and the tongue coated. Within the intestine, the colon is being repaired and impacted feces on the intestinal wall start to loosen.

Stage 3 (Day 8 to Day 15)
On the latter part of an extended fast, you can experience enhanced energy, clear-mindedness and feel better than you have felt since childhood. On the downside, old injuries may become irritated and painful. This is a result of the body's increased ability to heal during fasting. If you had broken your arm 10 years before, there is scar tissue around the break. At the time of the break, the body's ability to heal was directly related to lifestyle. If you lived on a junk-food diet, the body's natural healing ability was compromised.

During fasting, the body's healing process is at optimum efficiency. As the body scours for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the older, damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells. These substances irritate the nerves in the surrounding region and cause a reoccurrence of aches from previously injured areas that may have disappeared years earlier. The pain is good as the body is completing the healing process. The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation. The legs can be the worst affected, as toxins accumulate in the legs. Cankers are common in this stage due to the excessive bacteria in the mouth. Daily gargling with salt and water will prevent or heal cankers.

Stage 4 of detoxification (Day 16 to Day 30)
The body is completely adapted to the fasting process. There is more energy and clarity of mind. Cleansing periods can be short with many days of feeling good in between. There are days when the tongue is pink and the breath is fresh. The healing work of the organs is being completed. After the detoxification mechanisms have removed the causative agent or render it harmless, the body works at maximum capacity in tissue proliferation to replace damaged tissue. While a short fast will reduce the symptoms, a longer fast can completely heal. Homeostatic balance is at optimum levels. The lymphatic system is clean except for a rare discharge of mucus through the nose or throat. After day 20, the mind is affected. Heightened clarity and emotional balance are felt at this time. Memory and concentration improve.

Stage 5 of detoxification (Breaking the Fast)
The sticky, toxic, mucoid coating on the intestinal wall is loose, and the first meal frees it from the intestinal wall. Toxins enter the blood through the colon. The gallbladder dumps its waste in a heavy discharge of bile. This can cause an instant bowel movement upon eating followed by intense diarrhea. If the symptoms are too uncomfortable, an enema will help.

Hokahey!

well 2007-2009 was long ago proggramed as the time, when most of faked civilization hoax will become publicly
exposed, publicly meaning, that it would reach every individual dependant on faked massmedia.

2008 shoul be extremelly violent in this.

enjoy the ride

to australian public it will get really interesting when the truth about Bali bombing gets exposed, and more so when the issue of Port Arthur masacer will be investigated properly , and the role of former PM exposed

Hmmmm....gonna be carefull what I say here so read between the lines a lil if you care to read it at all...

And draw your own conclusions...(all I can say is it's all true as I know the people involved and no names have been mentioned to protect the guilty...because they are pretty nasty and I don't want 'em on my lily-white-ass)...

Jimmy Keller had been cured himself with alternative therapies of advanced metastatic cancer. For the next thirty years he developed a non-toxic program for helping others with this disease. He had to retreat to Mexico where he was practicing legally, but in 1991 he was kidnapped by the FBI, taken to Texas for trial and put in jail. The charge was that a contact person in the United States had told patients over the phone that he had an effective cancer treatment.

Now that all successful cancer therapists have been eliminated from the USA a grave-like silence covers the cancer battlefield.

This decisive victory of the US Cancer Establishment has served to secure the position of conventional cancer therapy also in other western countries. Holistic cancer therapists everywhere must be careful to operate on a small scale and not appear to be successful to avoid being dragged before the courts if a 'terminal' patient in their care should not make it.

How scientific do you now think our official cancer treatments are? Would it not be more scientific to allow proper trials of holistic therapies rather than trying to put successful cancer therapists in jail?

It's good to see the Navy is putting it's money to good use.

The dietician I saw a while back believes that I have an eating disorder.  That's why I had to see the psychiatrist today.  Apparently I'm a binge eater.  A binge eater is defined as somebody who eats a quantity of food that other people consider to be excessive.  According to them I binge 3 times a day - at breakfast, lunch and tea.  I've got it bad.

I told the psyciatrist (who is also a physician) that my diet consists of raw vegetables and fruits, including avocado, and some fresh nuts when in season.
The response - "There's no fat or protein in fruits and vegetables.  You will definitely end up with kwashiorkor (protein deficiency) in a year or two."

I told her I personally knew many people who have eaten this way for longer than that.
The response - "They're all lying to you".

I told her that the dietician I went to see gave me a printout of my nutrient intakes which clearly stated that I was consuming 125% of the RDA for protein.
The response - "The dietician is lying to you".

Looks like it's back to doctors again.

Hi Raw Connection
You and Raw Sensation mention Acne is gone, this seems to be one of the the first things that happens when you go Raw.Your negatives such as your bloating could be due to food combination and maybe too many nuts. This is what was happening to me until I eliminated nuts from my diet. I can also relate to the spaced out effect. I was going through that after 6 months on a raw Vegan diet I knew I was on the right path but felt I had lost clarity and was very light headed. Also I looked like an anorexic, in that 6 month period I lost 20 kilos from 89kgms to 69kgms and I am 6 ft tall. My dilemna was I knew this lifestyle was right but felt like I was slipping away. It was then that I discovered this guy called Aajonus who talked about curing his cancer by eating Raw Meat. This seemed ludicrous but thought I would give it a go. This I thought was the answer to my situation as I had constant cravings for meat. I tried his way and found in time, I was calmer had incredible muscle tone without exercise and increased libido as a bonus. I was on minimal Raw Fruit, Veggies, Nuts with the addition of masses of meat for about a year. Soon after I noticed that my skin looked aged, my heart was missing beats and was sweating profusely even on cold days. I went from one extreme to another.My concern made me go to a live Blood analysis specialist and she said in so many words that if I went on a flight somewhere I may have a heart attack. So where I am now after all this, is masses of Fruit, some Vegetable smoothies and very little animal products whether they be eggs or fish and some butter. This is working well with all symptoms gone and feeling healthy, so I will stick to it for now.
