the greatest cleansing power of all foods. Their high energetics makes them
an unmatched nerve and brain food.


Another method I’ve found to be successful is to eat all raw foods from
Monday through Friday. Then on Saturday and/or Sunday, if you must, have

routine.


As time goes on you may want to incorporate some fasting into your
program. This will accelerate the detoxification process. Give fasting your
best shot. The longer you last, the healthier you will get. Recondition yourself
by retraining your eating habits.


I designed this menu in our “Getting Healthy” program to be easy and yet
effective. Enjoy the clean feeling and the sense of vitality that raw foods
offer. You will never regret this journey into vibrancy, longevity and
spirituality.
