- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. Madal Bal natural Tree syrup
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch ground ginger
- 500ml spring water
Drink 8 to 10 glasses (2L) of purifying cleanser throughout the day.

dandelion, red clover, sage and cleavers tea; peppermint tea or
chamomile tea for duration of the detox.
Keep purifying cleanser in a class jar or else make up fresh each time.
Programme Length:
5-7 days
The standard version is 5 to 7 days. This is the classic version
that has been used by thousands of people throughout the world.
Many people, when thinking about fasting for the first time, believe
they won't be able to make it to seven days but most find that after
the second or third day it just gets easier and easier.
7-14 days
Stanley Borroughs, Hawaiian naturopath and creator of the diet,
recommended the programme for 10 days because the cleansing gets better
the longer the diet continues. By the time you get to the 7th day most
people feel so good, that going a few extra days is easy.
Detoxification
Much disease, especially degenerative disease, comes from congestion
and stagnation in the organs, tissues, circulation, lymph and cells of
the body.
This stagnation can be cleared by detoxification.
Most to least congesting foods:
1. Drugs, allergy making foods, offal, hydrogenated fats
2. Fats, fried foods, meats, refined flours
3. Sweets, milk, baked goods
Less congesting
4. Nuts, seeds, oats, wheat
5. Short grain brown rice, millet, quinoa, potatoes, wholegrain pasta
6. Roots, squashes, vegetables
7. Fruits, greens, water
For best health the body needs to be more alkaline.
An alkaline forming diet contains only water, herbal teas, fruit,
fruit juices (especially lemon) and vegetables (especially onion) and
vegetable juices.
