The PURE Cleanse
This primitive diet is an excellent screening test for food allergy and is very cost effective. It is a diet limited to fresh fruits and vegetables, boiled or broiled fish for 2 weeks. The only beverages allowed are vegetable juices and water. This gets out of the diet the most frequent food offenders - typically corn, eggs, wheat, milk, soy and peanuts - as well as sugar, chocolate, coffee, etc.
The immune complexes and food antigens are metabolized and excreted within this 2 week period; if food intolerance is a big part of your problem, symptoms can be significantly better. At least 50% improvement in 2 weeks are usually seen following this before one recommends specific testing.

The PURE LIVER Cleanse
Weighing in at approximately 3 lbs, the liver is the largest gland in the body. It secretes between one half and one full quart of bile each day. That's the same volume as a carton of milk! All toxic substances, either produced or absorbed by the intestine, are detoxified in the liver.
According to Ayurveda, it is the seat where anger, hate, jealousy, and fire easily stagnate. Releasing anger brings maturity. In Chinese medicine, the liver emotionally generates the will to grow and provides the energy of creativity.
The 7-Day Cleanse

Ideas for lunch:
Ideas for Supper:
The idea is to eat as much and as many of the dark, leafy and green vegetables as you can. Don't go hungry. Just eat more greens. The fat from the coconut oil/flax-seed oil/olive oil will help you feel full.
Throughout the Day
+ Avoid: Oily, fried foods, sugar, alcohol, cannabis, tobacco.
+ Herbs to use: Kutki, Schizandra, Triphala
+ Drink liver-friendly teas all day that will include herbs such as:
Dandelion, Burdock, Milk Thistle, Fennel Seed, Goldenseal, Barbetty Bark, Ginger.
+ Drink a 'Green Superfood' drink once a day.
+ Drink one glass of unsweetened cranberry juice every afternoon
Gas: If you feel bloated and gaseous from eating so many vegetables, try a digestive enzyme that targets what type of food you are eating.
