Detox dietary regime

The main task of this regime is to detoxify the entire system and restore the functions of the liver and metabolism. This food is quickly and easily digested. 

Forbidden foods and substances:

- Bottled 

- Canned

- Frozen

- Preserved

- Refined

- Salted

- Smoked

- Sulphured

Utensils

Use: Stainless steel, glass, enamel, earthenware, cast iron and tin

Do not use: Microwave ovens, pressure cookers or any aluminium pots or utensils.

Fresh fruit should be used. Pears and plums are more easily digested when stewed. Unsulphured dried fruits may also be used. Daily juices, such as orange juice, apple and carrot juice, green leaf juice, grape juice, grapefruit juice, apple juice (8oz. glass) should be prepared and consumed daily. 

Green leaf juice recipe: 

You can use as many of the various kinds of leaves as possible mentioned below:
                      

Lettuce

Red cabbage leaves (2-3 leaves..)

Swiss chard

Escarole

Endives

Romaine

Green Pepper

Watercress

Add 1 medium apple for each glass and drink immediately after preparation. 

Vegetables should be all freshly prepared and saltless. They should be stewed and not fried. Onions, leeks and tomatoes have enough liquid of their own to prevent burning and to keep them moist during the cooking process. Wash and scrub vegetables thoroughly, but do not peel or scrape them. Note that sprayed insecticides can not be removed by washing because they have been absorbed into the plants by their roots from the soil. Spices must be used sparingly because they may counteract the healing reaction.

Salads

The following raw vegetables are very important (finely grated if necessary or chopped, mixed or separate). Combine as you wish.

- Apples and carrots

Lettuce

Chicory

Watercress

Tomatoes

Escarole

Cauliflower

Romaine

Radishes

Scallions

Endives

Knob Celery

Chives

Green Peppers

Dressing (optional) Mix two table spoons lemon juice or apple vinegar. 2 table spoons water, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, a little diced onion and grated horseradish.

Peppermint tea should be used in cases of indigestion, nausea or gas. To prepare take two teaspoons of dried peppermint leaves to 2 cups of boiling water, boil 5 minutes and strain. Add brown sugar and lemon if desired. 

Oatmeal should be taken in the mornings for breakfast (1/2 cup oatmeal to 1 cup of water). Cook slowly in water until done (about 5 minutes). Take oatmeal with almond or rice milk.
