 The detox diet consists of several phases

Phase 1:

Setting the dosage: set the dosage of IBC 1 (entero-cleaning formula 1) now. The dosage differs from person to person. The longer one suffers from constipation and the higher one’s weight is, the higher the dosage is likely to be. 

The capsules should be taken in the evening with a glass of water. The dosage is individual, and it can be determined as follows. Take one capsule on the first evening after dinner. Take two capsules on the second day, again in the evening after dinner, then three capsules on the third day, etc. Increase the dosage until it has a “decisive” effect the following morning. The essence of the effectiveness of the treatment is that one should evacuate as many times as one has a meal. When one evacuates three times a day, the individually desirable dosage is the one taken on the previous day. This dosage must be taken every evening for three days in order to find out if this dosage of capsules is sufficient. If so, the three-day phase is followed by a liquid diet.

Questions: Experience has shown that many people become unsure at this point, since they achieved the required result (evacuating three times a day), but when they increased the dosage, their intestinal activity decreased. Why does this happen, and what should I do?

First, drink more. Second, consume more raw food (more on this later). Third, move more. It is also possible, however, that you have exceeded the optimal dosage, and the overdosage causes a convulsion of the bowels. In such cases, decrease the amount of capsules to a small extent and drink fennel tea (cumin or anise will also do), which reduces the convulsion of the bowels.

Some people are not constipated due to an insufficient intake of fibres or liquids but because they live under constant stress which causes a constant convulsion of the bowels in a vegetative way. Teas made of fennel, cumin or anise can be helpful.

Altering one’s alimentation habits: In order for the purgative to work properly, you should start consuming raw products at the very beginning of the diet. The ideal proportion of raw versus cooked (treated) food is 80 to 20. The cooked food you consume should not be difficult to digest, either; if possible, consume wholemeal cereals, slightly treated vegetables, potatoes, etc. Refrain from the consumption of meat products and animal products in general. If you wish to take “Superfood” as a supplement, you may as well start taking it now. The dosage is 1 to 2 scoopfuls a day. Add one dose (one scoopful) to a glass of water or freshly squeezed juice in the morning, and — if needed — apply the same amount in the evening.

Phase 2:

Now that your intestines have regained their appropriate peristalsis, you may start the second phase of your detox diet. Before going into details, however, we should present some different models. While some people go on a detox diet due to some illness, not everybody does. Obviously, this difference is visible in the practical implementation, too.

o        The short (preventive) full detox diet

o        The longer detox diet

o        The strict (30 day) diet

 Table 2: The short, full detox diet

a.)      A Short (preventive), full detox diet (see Table 2.)
The liquid diet itself lasts for 10 days. The detoxication of intestines, kidneys and the liver runs parallel to the liquid diet. This diet is intended primarily for those who wish a preventive maintenance once or twice a year. During this period, the first five days of the detoxication of intestines should be accompanied by a simultaneous detoxication of the kidneys, while the second five days of the detoxication of the intestines should be accompanied by a simultaneous detoxication of the liver. This model can be successfully used in detox centres, but it can also be carried out at home on your own. Its effects are not as far-reaching as those of longer diets, but it provides the general individual with a thorough detox , while it is maximally safe.

b.)   The longer detox diet
This diet differs from the previous one in that the detoxication of intestines, kidneys and the liver are not carried out simultaneously but in a sequence. This means ten days of intestinal detox, five days of kidney detox, and five days of liver detox. The diet, together with the preparation period and the fast-breaking period, takes about a month. It yields a significantly more thorough detoxication, since you fast for twenty days. The continual use of “Superfood” is recommended while fasting. The longer period of fasting will ensure more far-reaching effects as the short diet described above. Its disadvantage is that not all can afford to spend the time needed on it. This longer diet is chiefly recommended for those who are aware of how their bodies work and react.

Table 3. the longer detox diet
 

c.)   The 30-day strict diet (see Table 3.)
This diet is, so to speak, compulsory for seriously ill people. The diet repeats the detoxication of the kidneys and the liver three times during a period of 30 days, in parallel with the detoxication of the intestines. The detoxication of the intestines lasts for 10 days. IBC 1 should be used throughout the diet, then for about 4 to 7 days following the diet. As opposed to traditional diets, it is worth using various herbal supplements during the detoxication of the kidneys and the liver. For example, it is advisable to use an echinacea tincture during the five-day period of kidney detox, while Detox drops are useful during the period of liver detox. These will increase the effectiveness of the diet.
It must be emphasized that this diet is only recommended under the supervision of an experienced dieter, a non-medical practitioner or a physician. The loss of proteins during the diet must be constantly compensated for by taking Superfood or another food supplement containing plant proteins.
Your great effort will not be in vain. For many patients who suffered from a serious disease, this diet was the decisive step on their way to recovery.
 

Table 4: The 30-day, strict diet

Nutrition and liquid diet: on starting Phase 2, switch from the consumption of raw food to the consumption of freshly squeezed juices.

Drink 3 litres (or 4 litres, if you weigh more than 70 kgs) of freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juice a day. Consume them strictly freshly squeezed. Needless to say, you may prepare a full day’s dosage, or even several days’ dosage, in advance, but make sure that the juice is stored hermetically and cooled right after squeezing (the enzymes in the juice start to decompose once they get into contact with oxygen). Vegetable and fruit juices may be stored for 1 to 2 days and 2 to 3 days, respectively.
Most people prefer fruits juices to vegetable juices. We recommend, therefore, that you should consume fruit juice in the morning and in the afternoon, but vegetable juice at noon and in the evening, though it naturally depends on your individual taste. Though the active agents (enzymes, vitamins, minerals, etc.) are not the same in vegetable versus fruit juices, the difference is immaterial, since 3 to 4 litres of freshly squeezed juice contains more agents than necessary. It is essential, though, that you should use organic products if possible. Using fresh produce is desirable.

Intestinal detox: Go on taking the capsules (IBC 1) according to the set dosage during the period of the diet. If, after the diet, possibly after the liver detox, you feel that the dosage set at the beginning of the diet is excessive (it has an over-purging effect or causes convulsion), you may decrease the dosage by one capsule a day until the undesired effects cease.
Compared to the previous phase, taking a purifying (detox) powder constitutes an innovation. Take one teaspoonful of the powder (IBC 2) 5 to 6 times a day, dissolving it in a glass of water. The powder contains some agents which dilate quickly in water, so it is important that you should take the mixture as soon as possible. The powder removes all types of contamination, forming the backbone of the detox diet without which the diet cannot be optimally successful.

Kidney detox: Depending on your type of diet, start the kidney detox treatment simultaneously with intestinal detoxication or after it (see tables 2 and 3). If you are on a 30-day strict diet, start the kidney detox treatment together with the intestinal detox process, which will be followed by liver detox. Repeat this process twice during the 30-day diet period.

Table 5: Kidney detox step by step

 During the diet, do not, under any circumstances, consume

-     alcohol,

-     sparkling soft drinks, including sparkling mineral water,

-     black tea or coffee,

-     other herbal teas unless explicitly prescribed,

-     dairy products,

-      mineral extracts,

-      while an abundant amount of distilled or cleaned (reversed osmosis) water is recommended.

Liver detox: Liver detox always follows kidney detox immediately. Liver detox is the most essential component of the detox diet, which detoxicates the blood. Only now that the other secretory organs (bowels and kidneys) function well is it worth starting to detoxicate the liver. The detoxication of the liver is to a great extent dependant on the proper functioning of the kidneys and the bowels.

Table 6: Liver detox step by step

Phase 3:

Ingredients: Probiotics (Protexin, Normaflor, Lacto7, etc.), probiotic liquids (Kanne Brottrunk, Japanese water crystals, other liquids rich in lacto-bacteria of a similar type) Yoghurt and kefir, recommended widely, should only be consumed within certain limits. Dairy products are not recommended for several reasons, especially to seriously ill persons.
Dosage of Probiotics: Use the maximal dosage given in the instructions (or even a double amount if needed) for the first three days. Then take the normal dose for at least 10 to 14 days. It is useful to take the dosage for a longer period.
We recommend taking IBC 1. You may, of course, quit taking it if you observe that you do not even need the minimum amount. Practice has shown, though, that many people need a maintenance of peristaltic activity during the period of switching to solid food.

Diet: While breaking the fast, the intestinal flora must be rebuild and restored, which is a gradual process. During the diet, a part of the intestinal flora has been destroyed in proportion to the decreased amount of solid food consumed. Lest you be frightened, it must be emphasized that this is precisely one of the essential components of the diet: besides the useful part of the intestinal flora, most harmful bacteria are also destroyed. The harmful part of the intestinal flora constantly produces toxic material which damage cells and overburden the immune system. If you act in the appropriate way while breaking the fast, you may restore your intestinal flora, preserving the dominance of healthy “lacto-bacteria”.
The restoration of the intestinal flora is a gradual process, taking place in proportion to the amount of solid food one consumes. During this period, therefore, it is essential that you observe some rules, otherwise the damage you may cause to yourself may well exceed what you might suspect.

•  Learn how to chew properly

•  Consume fruits, then raw vegetables, too — appropriately cleaned

•  After that, you may consume light, steamed/stewed dishes

•  Consume “heavier” types of food once the fast-breaking period has been completed.

During the third, “fast-breaking”, period, you must still not consume alcohol, coffee, black tea, sparkling drinks, meat and rich food.

After breaking the fast, try to set the proportion of raw versus cooked food to 50:50. The enzymes, vitamins, minerals and trace elements that our body needs are only provided by raw food, especially organic food.

When you have completed the diet, you may switch from the mixed diet to a vegetarian one.
