14 to 21-day Liquid Feast

One of the first steps of the pH Miracle for Diabetes is to go on a 14 to 21-day liquid feast. This is something I plan to talk to my endocrinologist about tomorrow; how I will need to adjust my insulin for this. Here is an overview of it:

14 to 21-day Liquid Feast

The idea of the liquid feast, or cleanse, is to rid your body of the excess acid buildup from years of poor nutrition and high-sugar foods, get rid of negative microforms and their toxic wastes, detoxify your blood and tissues, normalize your blood sugar, and begin the process of healing your pancreas. It will also normalize digestion and metabolism, helping you regain pH balance. The regimen will have a laxative effect on your system (which is exactly what you want). Your body has to expel the acid wastes from your body. Until you see how your own body reacts to the liquid feast, plan to stay close to a bathroom--most people will need 6-10 visits per day. The exact length of the liquid feast phase  will vary from person to person, depending on what your body needs and how your body reacts to it. Typically, two weeks will give you the start you need to reverse your diabetes, though three is optimum. This is not a fast - you will eat as much and as often as you want. Eat until you are satisfied, not too full. The idea is to eat mainly green food (veggies), and to have them in liquid form--pureed soups, or shakes, or juices. You'll have a few nongreen items as well: tomato, lemon, lime, bell pepper, jicama, and healthy oils. The first hunger pangs are the worst; eventually they will stop.

You should drink at least 4 liters of green drink a day, including 1 Liter of pure water and four 8-ounce glasses of fresh green vegetable juice (diluted with 10x as much water as juice). Try juicing cucumber, kale, broccoli, celery, lettuce, collards, okra, wheatgrass, barley grass, watercress, parsley, cabbage, spinach, and alfalfa sprouts. If you have low blood sugar you can add a little carrot or beet juice.

That's the "feast." The "liquid" part is there because everything you eat in this first phase should be pureed or juiced. That way, the food requires very little energy to digest. Normally you use more than half your daily energy digesting. Removing that energy drain for a while means your body can use the bulk of its energy for regeneration of all your 75 trillion cells. Pureeing or juicing also makes the nutrients in food up to 20x more available. Your body gets more water as well.

• If at any time during the day you are hungry, you can always have more soup or green drink. You can also juice fresh vegetables (no carrots or beets though). Dilute fresh green vegetable juice, one part juice to ten parts distilled water, and add 5 drops of sodium chlorite or sodium silicate.
