Okay,
I'm Cleansed. Now What?
You've
removed the stockpile of debris from your body, clearing the way for
optimal health. The next step, after taking away what your body doesn't
need, is to provide what it does need. If you give it the vital
materials it needs to construct new and healthy cells, your body will
heal itself and be restored to balance and harmony. This third phase
should run for at least 5 weeks, and ideally 7 weeks, after your Cleanse
is over (for a total of 6 to 8 weeks, so add in a few more days if your
Cleanse isn't an entire week).
You
want to keep your diet extremely low in carbohydrates, focusing on dark
green and yellow vegetables; sprouted soy beans, seeds, and grains;
nuts and essential fatty acids. At least 40 percent of it should be
raw. The higher the level of enzymes in your food, the faster you will
repair and rebuild your body - and cooking destroys your food's natural
enzymes and life force.
Continue
with daily green juices, but add some variety. Drinking juice just before
a solid meal is good for digestion, but you should also have juice on
it's own. Beyond that, for this phase you want to avoid (in addition
to the unhealthy foods described on this web site) all complex carbohydrates,
including high-carb vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, winter
squash), all grains, and starchy legumes (meaning all of them, except
soybeans and lentils), as well as sugar fruit.
Some
people, with more severe health challenges/goals, may need to stay “green”
for 2-3 months before adding non-green alkaline food choices. These
individuals should continue juicing green vegetables each day, drinking
at least 1 gallon of your favorite nutritional green drink with alkaline
booster drops, and eating lightly steamed, green vegetables or salads.
They may also choose to take one or two more of Dr. Young’s Complete
Packs as well. For more information and consultation, these individuals
should seek guidance from a trained individual of choice.

After
the 7 week phase after the cleanse, you are ready to move on to the
full program. Let's learn how to maintain
what you've built so far.
