Apple Cleanse

  Apples contain the fibers cellulose (which binds with water and increase fecal bulk), and pectin (which is exceptionally detoxifying). Pectin also helps lower cholesterol, eliminates bile acids from the intestines, and chelates heavy metals such as aluminium, mercury, lead and cadmium and escorts them out of the body via the bowel.

The apple cleanse can be done by any healthy adult, but do check first with your doctor. Don’t do this fast without the advice of your Doctor if you are underweight, pregnant, or if you have medical problems.

 This cleanse lasts for two or three days. Eat only apples, any variety, but organic if possible. You can have as many as you like, but chew them well and crunch up the seeds as well, as they contain valuable nutrients which help the cleansing. 
During these 2 or 3 days you are not eating anything other than apples, and the only drinks are clean water and herbal tea. Great cleansing teas during this fast are nettle,  or goldenseal. Do not use goldenseal if pregnant, or for more than a week at a time.

Make sure you’re drinking enough water (1½ – 2 litres a day). Visit your colon therapist for colon irrigation, this can be useful.

It cuts down uric acid, cholesterol, excess fats and other toxins in the body while stimulating digestion, blood circulation, and lactation; it also alleviates indigestion and gastroenteritis. It is said that lemongrass also helps improve the skin by reducing acne and pimples and acts as a muscle and tissue toner. Also, it can reduce blood pressure. Just make a concoction by boiling some lemon grass leaves, let it cool for a while and drink the liquid. 

A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube
