This is you protein for the fast. Vitamineral Earth™-- (Optional) Nutritionally supports blood sugar, colon, detoxification, the immune system, and Longevity. Balances the Yin and Yang with the Vitamineral Green. E3 Enzymes Supreme™-- Enzymes are the 'spark of life'. This powder formula is a digestive and cleansing blend of plant-based enzymes and other plant-derived digestive aids. This formula consists of premium, full-spectrum, digestive enzymes with added nutritional co-factors optimized to work in wide pH variations throughout the entire digestive tract.  Without enzymes, our bodies do not properly break down food; therefore we do not absorb vitamins, minerals and amino acids which are the basis of health. Our immune system, bloodstream, liver, kidneys, spleen and pancreas especially depend upon enzymes for proper digestive function. Without proper enzymes, our white blood cells try to perform the purpose of the enzymes, usually leaving one feeling tired after eating, and compromising the immune system. Enzymes are responsible for every biochemical reaction that occurs in living matter. All life depends on enzymes. Nascent Iodine- This is the least toxic and least irritating of all iodine formulas available. Iodine is crucial for every hormone to function properly and for normal metabolism. Iodine deficiency is relatively common. Severe iodine deficiency often occurs in individuals who have thyroid disease and are hyperthyroid (an over active thyroid), or those who have a goiter from thyroid malfunction. Symptoms of iodine deficiency may include extreme fatigue, slowing of both physical and mental processes, weight gain, facial puffiness, constipation and lethargy. Iodine, because of it's role in the metabolism helps burn off excess fat, it is a germicidal and antiseptic for internal use, iodine aids in, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, helps heal gastro-intestinal and urinary disorders, malaria fever, various infectious diseases internal and external, arthritis and joint diseases, skin diseases, burns, abrasions, cuts and mouth diseases.  Wow!    Natural Cellular Defense™-- Every cell in your body is under constant attack from toxins. Heavy metals like mercury, lead, aluminum and countless other toxins attack our body's defenses, depleting our reserves and causing us to age, get headaches, feel tired, get sick, etc. Natural Cellular Defense has been clinically formulated to help support a healthy immune system, remove heavy metals and toxins, and balance your body's pH levels.  Liver-ND™ is a botanical formula that promotes optimal liver rejuvenation and cleansing, healthy bile flow, fat digestion, healthy cellular DNA, and healthy blood lipids. And since the liver and gallbladder are intimately connected, Liver-ND™ supports healthy gallbladder function too.  Premier Cleansing Formula is a clinically-tested, whole body cleansing formula. It contains a complete, synergistic blend of grade 10, carefully harvested herbs from South America. Its unique carrier base, grade 10 psyllium husk powder, provides a gentle, soluble fiber that adds soft, almost fluffy bulk to stools. This helps clear out toxic colon pockets and move foul, stagnant waste matter from of the colon. In addition, its scrubbing action can help trap and pull away many years of encrusted toxic debris.    Dry Skin Brush(s)-- It is well known that the skin is the largest organ in the body, and is responsible for one-fourth of the body's detoxification each day, also making it, one of the most important elimination organs! When you dry skin brush, you help your lymph system to clean itself of the toxins, that collect in the lymph glands. You use a simple technique to improve the surface circulation on the skin and keep the pores of the skin open, encouraging your body's discharge of metabolic wastes, and resulting in an improved ability to combat bacteria, plus helping your skin to look and feel healthier and more resilient! Skin brushing is a perfect treatment for taking charge of your body and health.    Tongue Scraper-- The ancient Ayurvedic healing philosophy of India has recommended tongue scraping for centuries as an aid to digestion and for the health of the teeth and the sinuses. When the salivary glands are cleaned, it activates them and enhances digestion (yes, digestion begins in the mouth as saliva mixes with food and begins to break it down). Tongue cleaning revitalizes the throat and keeps the sinuses cleaner by reducing bacteria that can travel into the respiratory system. Many people who have struggled with sinus infections, sore throats, throat infections*, and chronic bad breath, may find added relief through regular tongue scraping. Dentists are now recommending tongue cleaning to keep the mouth clean and reduce odor. They have learned that bad breath most often comes from bacteria on the tongue rather than from gum disease.    Sole Bath- In contrast to a normal bath, in which moisture is extracted from the skin, a sole bath allows salt to be stored in the upper callous layer of the skin and binds water.  This maintains the natural, protective film of the skin, protecting it from drying out. This is the reason why sole baths are good for dry skin as well.  The cleansing effects of a 30-minute sole bath equal those of three days of fasting.  The toxins are released into the bath water through osmosis, while the minerals from the sole are absorbed through the skin.  Studies have shown that you can achieve the best results taking a sole bath during the change of the moon cycle.  The minerals and energies stored in the sole can optimally be absorbed during a full moon.  The body's healing potential is at its peak, bioenergetically weak points are harmonized, and the body's own energy flow is activated.  During a new moon, the cleansing effects are optimized because the body's capacity for detoxifying is at an optimum.  The bath will have a detoxifying effect similar to a three day fast.    Triphala-- A must for easing back into food as it is used to rejuvenate the digestive system, support healthy liver function, support the immune system, support healthy inflammatory response and as a tonic for overall health. Nutrient-rich Triphala (or three fruits) regulates, strengthens, tones, and cleanses your digestive system without stripping or depleting your body of vital nutrients. One of the oldest and most renowned herbal formulas from the Vedic tradition, Triphala is a gentle, nourishing blend of three certified organic fruits: amalaki, bibhitaki, and haritaki. High in linoleic oil and vitamin C, non habit-forming and safe for people of all ages, our Ayurvedic Triphala formula's colon cleansing action supports healthy digestive and gastro intestinal function while strengthening nutritional assimilation.     Friendly Force™ Probiotic Powder -- The ultimate, hard-core, no-holds-barred probiotic. Cleansing, immune boosting,* nutrient creating, unique whole food prebiotics greatly magnify potency.* Dairy free, gluten free, implantable species, significantly improves digestion and assimilation.* A natural synergy of acid-resistant, ultra-stable ultra-high potency implantable, survivable, whole food prebiotics (NO isolates) that greatly magnify potency and healthy growth.* Feeds on toxins and detoxifies them. Enhances digestion and nutrient assimilation. Actually create nutrients such as vitamin B12, enzymes, and neurotransmitters (the gut is your second brain). Significantly supports immune function.* Supports elimination of candida and unfriendly bacteria.* Whole food synergists yacon and burdock provide powerful phytonutrients and inulin growth medium (not isolated FOS) that significantly magnifies potency. Marshmallow and kelp provide mucilagenous probiotic acid protection. Marshmallow supports protecting and rebuilding the intestinal lining from leaky gut. Kelp provides detox,  heavy metal chelation, full spectrum minerals plus mannose and fucose for immunity.* Purifying Essential Oil Blend by Elizabeth Van Buren -- Purifying is a great detoxifying blend. It balances emotional and physical excesses such as resentment, jealousy, overeating, and alcohol and drug addictions. Grapefruit is an excellent detoxifier and diuretic and benefits drug withdrawal, water retention, cellulite, and lymphatic drainage. Juniper aids the kidneys and liver and rids the body of uric acid. It also promotes sweating that helps rid toxins. Angelica Root invigorates the lymph system. Cheers to your health!

January Juice Feast

A week long juice fast was a great way to start off the New Year!

A juice feast was a way for me to renew my energy for 2010 by detoxing my body, eliminating poisons, and balancing body chemistry.

I LOVE the light feeling I have after a fast, my senses are sharper, food tastes better, energy increases, it is easier to focus and the little things that clutter the mind and heart are cleared away.

Juice fasting when done right, nourishes your body with high quality nutrients from organically grown sources, can be a wonderful benefit to a persons health.

Living-food juices are loaded with minerals, vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, chlorophyll, flavonoids, phytochemicals, purified water, antioxidants, and live enzymes that are assimilated directly into the body, neutralize acidic conditions in the body, re-establish alkaline reserves, release toxins, remove dead and dying cells so they better absorb nutrients, regulate blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol levels, cleanse and heal, boost the immune system, balance metabolism, prevent degenerative diseases, and rebuild health.

During the fast I had two wonderful ladies join me!

On our journey we followed a daily schedule and tried to take time to love ourselves.

Some of my favorite juice combinations were:

Green Lemonade:

1 head romaine lettuce or celery

5 to 6 stalks kale (any type)

1 to 2 apples for sweetness

1 lemon

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (optional)

Michelle's Morning Sunshine:

1 orange

1 grapefruit

1 lime

1 beet

1 apple

Enzyme Boost (optional): 1 cup pineapple

Green Goddess:

1 bunch kale

1 bunch cilantro

1 to 2 apples

1 to 2 teaspoons ginger (optional)

The Great Eliminator

1  beet

1 cucumber

1/2 to 1 head romaine lettuce

10 medium carrots

1 inch fresh ginger

 

A Week long juice fasting or feasting journey includes 3 stages: 

1) body reorientation -- changes pH towards alkaline, stomach and digestive tracts are cleansed, weight loss, hunger, headaches, light headedness and frequent urination. 

2) Liver purges itself of poisons -- elimination of chemical and toxic overloads, nausea, exhaustion, muscle aches, nervousness, flu-like symptoms, coated tongue, bad breath, skin eruptions and trembling. 

3) Deep tissue cleansing -- blood toxins are removed, cellular ash and debris are flushed from kidneys, bursts of energy, a gradual increase in feelings of well-being, organ detoxification and regeneration, swings from euphoria to stress and irritability and improved self-esteem.

Honestly, I didn't occur to me to weigh myself before or after the fast because I was fasting for mental clarity and balance.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. ~John Quincy Adams

I will be leading another juice feast March.  If you are interested and live in the Flathead Valley, please email me at berryblissful@gmail.com by February 25th. Thank you!

Everything is material for the seed of happiness, if you look into it with inquisitiveness and curiosity. The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. There always is the potential to create an environment of blame -- or one that is conductive to loving kindness. ~Pema Chodron

I love you!
