mouthful with plenty of saliva. Remember, breaking your fast is a very  
important part of this program. Chew your food well and eat until  
satisfied, not full. You can always eat more later on if you are still hungry.  
After 4:00 p.m. you may have a vegetable salad, and fruit again in the  
evening.  
Afterward  
On the day after, start the same way as you did on day one, and then ease  
your way back into a good diet over a few days. This schedule can be  
done on a week-on, week-off basis until you feel that any deep-seated  
imbalances have really changed.  
Things to Do Every Day  
Skin brushing, bathing, or showering with lavender essential oil.  
Hot and cold showers.  
Thirty minutes minimum of vigorous cardiovascular exercise to get  
your blood moving, preferably in fresh air.  
Twenty minutes of belly breathing exercises twice daily, preferably  
once in the morning and again in the afternoon.  
Take one teaspoon three times daily of a detoxification tincture con-  
taining red clover flower, plantain leaf, wild yam tuber, sarsaparilla  
root, bearberry leaf, gingerroot, licorice root, and myrrh resin.  
It is vitally important that you seek advice on bowel cleansing during  
this program.

also contemplated, do the kidney cleanse first. Very cold, damp weather is  
not an ideal condition in which to clear the kidneys, but as long as you  
keep warm and well wrapped up, it can be done during any season.  
Emotionally, you may feel weepy, vulnerable, and watery. Those who have  
felt this way have also felt that past issues were somehow accessed and  
flushed away.  
You must consume at least four and a half quarts of liquid a day, plus  
three cups of barley water (see recipe in chapter 4). Keep vegetables and  
fruit separate on this program.  
On waking, drink at least a pint of distilled water. This flushes the  
digestive tract.  
Prepare a morning drink in a bottle: For the kidney and bladder
