Detox Through Raw Dieting

When eating raw foods our bodies go through a detoxifying process that involves several organs,the skin,liver,kidneys,pancreas, gallbladder,spleen,blood,and bladder just to name a few. But the most important organ involved in the detox process is the colon. When eating raw the body detoxifies by sending all of the cellular debris and waste into our elimination systems like the skin,the blood,the kidney,and the colon; all debris from the cells,blood etc are sent to the colon so that it can be eliminated. But when you are a raw foodist you are on a continuous cleanse sometimes the colon does not eliminate as fast as we cleanse. This is why detoxifying the colon is strongly advised for a prosperous raw foodist lifestyle.

There are many ways in which to cleanse the colon but the first and best way to do this is through the use of water to penetrate the colon and eradicate( get rid of) the waste that is hiding there thus allowing the body to relax and focus on healing rather than mostly cleansing. Cleansing can be taxing on the body when the colon isn't functioning properly helping it to eliminate toxins that are stored throughout our systems.

Begin by drinking just water for 24 hrs.On the second day you can eat fruit and vegetable juices and slowly introduce whole fruits and vegetables.  Also on the second day a very beneficial colon cleanse is the coffee enema. The coffee enema cleanses the liver through the colon; the liver is a major blood reservoir,forming and storing red blood cells, and filtering toxins at a rate of a quart of blood per minute. There are many ways to do a coffee enema the one I have found most comprehensive is the following. First drink some chlorella lemonade from one lemon, water, and two teaspoons of chlorella powder( can be purchased at adamshiddentreasures.com) sweeten to taste with agave ( also available at adamshiddentreasures.com) and enjoy; the chlorella will bind toxins to it and take it into the colon to be gotten rid of through the enema. Then prepare your organic lightly roasted coffee: fill a sauce pan with water let the water come to a boil then turn and remove from the hot element. Place 1 tbsp - 1 cup of coffee into the water depending on the strength you want. let stand for about 10 minutes. Strain off one cup of coffee and then add 3 cups of distilled water to it. Pour into your enema bag, make sure the coffee is warm not hot before you pour it in the enema bag. when you release the flow be sure to put it on the lowest setting so as to not trigger the peristaltic action in the sigmoid and rectum. Try to take in the 2 quart bag and hold for at least 13 minutes before you let your bowel empty. If there is any cramping or pain stop the flow and breathe deeply until it subsides then begin the flow again slowly until you have taken in st 1-2 quarts. If you are unable to take in 1-2 quarts just take in how much you can and then sit on the toilet and let your bowel empty. After finishing the coffee enema you should do a third enema a therapeutic enema to replace the good bacteria and soothe the colon. You will need 1 cup Olive oil,1 cup Aloe Vera gel,1-3 drops Peppermint essential oil and 1 tsp. of a vegan Probiotic.  Mix well then place in the enema bag. It is best to make this mixture before doing your enema so that it can be room temperature when you are ready to use it. Once you have taken in the therapeutic enema hold it for as long as you can if you can hold it until the next day or until your next bowel movement that is very good; if you hold it for a little while like 10-15 minutes that is very good too. Be sure to clean your enema bag so it can stay sterile for the next use.

After wards be sure to drink 8 ounces of fresh vegetable juice of your choice a good selection would be 3 carrots,either 3 leaves of kale, handful of spinach or  3 leaves of turnip greens.

Once you have done this series of cleansing you will feel energized and light. When your body needs another cleanse you will notice the change in your health; fatigue, low energy, muddled thoughts, backaches, headaches just to name a few. Do the cleanse when you feel like this and it will help relieve these symptoms of toxic build up. But a coffee enema can be done as often as every week or everyday just as long as you do a therapeutic enema  and always drink a glass of vegetable juice after wards. By: Chelyah Yisrael
