Avoid Cleansing Diets!

Avoid Cleansing Diets (for now): An Explanation of What I Mean When I Use the Term "Cleanse"

In my practice, cleansing refers to the release of stored acids from your organs into your blood and bowel. This creates symptoms, weight gain, and bad blood tests when your bowel is too unhealthy to completely eliminate these acids.

The consumption of a larger amount of cleansing food in your diet is, by far, the number one cause of discomfort on this program—or failure to see quick improvements in your symptoms or weight. Failure is rarely due to the Bowel Strength or bentonite.

Foods that are cleansing yield glucose or other sugars when they are digested. This glucose stimulates the movement of acids from your organs into your blood. This is only good, and valuable, if these acids can be eliminated from your body once they become released. It will take some time before you are healthy enough to eliminate a lot of acids.

If you have started his program and are not looking or feeling better, check the list of cleansing foods below and make sure you have not added more into your diet (compared to the quantity you ate before you started this program.)

Eating a more cleansing diet is by far the number one cause of discomfort, poor stools , bad blood tests, and a lack of change in your weight or symptoms while you are healing your bowel and body!

Most/Very highly cleansing foods: fruit and fruit juices, sugar and sugar-containing foods like desserts and sodas

Highly cleansing foods: carbohydrates like bread, pasta, bagels, cereal, rice and other grains

Moderately cleansing foods: dairy products (as they yield milk sugar when digested), like yogurt (fruit-flavored are much more cleansing than plain yogurt), milk, cottage cheese, cheese, and beans, including soy/tofu

Non-cleansing foods: animal protein like chicken, beef, turkey and fish; green leafy vegetables (while the “dreaded” evil veggies like carrots and potatoes are slightly cleansing); fats like nuts, butter, and avocadoes

Note: alcohol, coffee, and cigarettes are not cleansing. They are highly acidic and damaging to your body and bowel, but in the short-term they often make you feel good, not bad (hence our addictions!). Likewise, over the long run they will make it much harder for you to eliminate acids and to look and feel good. Notice that many of the diets that ultra-thin celebrities consume contain animal protein, vegetables, alcohol and coffee (they are photographed with “Starbuck” cups all the time), because they have learned how to eat in a way to stop the movement of acids into their blood, helping them become thin (at a steep price later on, of course. And note how many of these celebrities “balloon up and gain large quantities of weight in a short period of time (think Janet Jackson), when they stop this horrible diet…)

Many cleansing foods are healthy for you, but until you are healthy, eating them will make you look and feel worse!

Reduced protein consumption and program failure

As stated on pages 210-211 of my book,"This Works, Crutches Don't," as well as numerous times throughout, if you eat less chicken, beef, turkey, fish, or any other animal protein when you are healing your bowel and body, you are going to feel worse, gain weight, or at the very least, fail to immediately feel better or lose weight.

When you start this process, you have weight problems, symptoms, and addictions, caused in large by un-eliminated acids. You come into this process with too much trash in the middle of your kitchen, making a mess; you come into this with excess acids in your blood, triggering symptoms, weight problems, and addictions. You also come into this process with a lot of stored trash in your kitchen cabinets; stored acids in your organs. When you eat less protein, more of this trash gets dumped into your dirty kitchen, making a mess; more of these acids dump into your blood triggering health and weight problems. These acids (or trash) are supposed to go into your bowel and be eliminated, but when your bowel is unhealthy, they do not, and they sit around in your blood, causing symptoms, weight problems, and addictions.

When you start taking bentonite, you are eliminating this trash/acidity. But if you start off with 10 pounds in the middle pf your kitchen and take enough bentonite to eliminate all of this, you will not notice this improvement if, at the same time, you throw another 10 pounds of trash out of the cabinets into the middle of your kitchen; if you move stored acids from your organs into your bloodstream--as happens when you reduce your protein intake.

I am sorry if this is confusing; I am sorry that NO ONE else is describing this real situation, resulting in millions of people heading down the wrong road.

So if it is still confusing, I will make it simple. If you are not losing weight, or feeling better, or craving less coffee, sugar, and/or alcohol, then take a look at your diet. Are you eating the EXACT same amount of animal protein as you were when you started this? It is 99.9% likely that you are NOT. So add it back and be patient. First, eliminate the trash/acids that were making a mess and THEN you can dump more out of your organs/cabinets and not risk having this make you look and feel worse, or not any better.

If you are not losing weight or feeling better, you can also double your dosage of bentonite. This is the fastest way to heal your body and lose weight, but it requires the consumption of more bentonite--not all of you will want to do this. Which is ok.

Bottom line, in the short term, take more bentonite if possible, but at the very least, keep your protein intake up to the levels you consumed when you started this. By doing so, you will look and feel better faster. If you incorporate these changes and still do not look and feel better in a couple of weeks, call me so I can help you figure out the adjustments you need to make to achieve this!
