The ReEvolution One Week Detox

by Vaughn Gray

Detoxing is one of the fastest ways to improve energy levels, reduce body fat, develope clearer, more luminous skin, and generally get healthier. The idea behind detox is to begin removing elements within your body that get in the way of your body’s ability to conduct all of the tasks (cellular metabolism, removal of old tissue and construction of new, regulation of the wake sleep cycle, coping with stress, etc…) necessary to maintain optimal physical, mental, and emotional health. Our world is full of toxins that we ingest in our food, water, and in the air we breathe. In addition, our bodies produce a number of toxins as a part of normal metabolism that can accumulate over time. Most people today suffer from increased levels of fatigue, stress and distractibility, in addition to being more susceptible to infection, as a result of the toll that toxins take on their systems. Reducing the toxic load on the body frequently results in a palpable improvement in overall vitality in as little as 10 days, often producing profound changes in energy and stress levels and general feelings of wellbeing. It's amazing how many people have contacted us after finsihing this program and told us that they feel better than they've every felt in their lives.

This drug-free, nutrition based detoxification program can significantly reduce systemic toxin levels in as little as 7 to 10 days. It's safe for just about anyone, but, as with any diet or exercise program, consult with a doctor before begining. One other word of caution is in order. To experience the benefits of detox, you have to stick to this program religiously. Even small deviations (eating the wrong foods during your detox week) will render it largely ineffective. The program involves a 48 hour clear liquids fast during which you shouldn't consume anything other than water and herbal teas. This is followed by 5-8 days on a pretty strict diet of brown rice and vegetables. It takes a bit of discipline to stick to this program, so we suggest that you take a few days to mentally prepare yourself for detox, and refrain from starting the program until a time when you are sure you will be able to control your schedule and meals for at least seven, and, better, ten days.

One more warning before we get started. While on this program you may experience “cleansing reactions”; side effects like headaches, fatigue, break-outs on the face and back, body odor, muscle cramps, and slight disorientation. These symptoms occur during detox as your body begins to liberate toxins from your fat cells and liver and excretes them through your skin, kidneys, and intestines. In most cases, these side effects are mild, if present at all, and disappear soon after completing the program. Within a few days of completing this program, most people report significant weight loss, and more energy and vitality than they have experienced in years.

Seven days on the program is long enough to make significant headway. Each additional day you spend on, up to ten days, significantly increases the benefits (each successive day, you liberate more toxins than on the last) up until the point when your system is overwhelmed. If cleansing symptoms become severe (headache, fatigue, etc…) stop the program immediately. When you begin eating difficult to digest foods (at first, grains and beans, then meat, eggs, and dairy) your body will pull out of detox, and return to normal digestion. If you do have severe cleansing reactions, it's probably a sign that you have a high toxic load, and you should consider starting detox again after a few weeks off for recovery.
