This cleansing program will purify the body so
it may be healed. If you are overweight, this program will take you
down to your normal body weight, and if you are underweight, it will bring
you up to normal. The purpose of the entire program is to eliminate mucus
from the body so that the patient is healed in a natural way.- Herbal
Home Health Care, 1976
If you came to this page because you are looking for the three day diet,
this could be the start of a healthy new lifestyle, free from heaviness, fatigue,
illness, depression and death. This is probably not the 3-day quick fix diet everyone is
looking for, but it may save your life.
If one is to successfully heal themselves of a
current illness, lose weight, prepare their bodies for pregnancy, or
to be totally healthy, a three to seven
day cleanse is essential. The body should be clear of built up waste
that "constipates" all the other organs (making us sick or out of balance). So before beginning a mucusless
diet, a cleanse is often recommended.
It is believed that any retention or accumulation
of waste, feces, mucus and toxins can create dysfunction of our organs
and therefore create disease, as well as retard the healing process and
recovery. There are four major eliminatory organs that excrete waste;
the lungs, the pores, the kidneys, and the bowels.
The pores sweat out
the toxins which is why we should not try to prevent sweating with antiperspirants.
The kidneys eliminate the wastes from the liver and the metabolism.
And most significant towards our general well being; the bowels eliminate
food waste, cells and tissues that, if built up, can result in toxemia
and acidosis. Bowel cleansing is the first step to wellness.
Although, I must add that it takes a great deal
of stamina and determination to partake in the 3-day and you must congratulate
yourself for deciding to prepare your body in such a way. Remember
that in all the major religions, fasting is incorporated in the weekly
expectations, although few of us do it today. I believe that it was
a great wisdom that was passed down to keep us clean and healthy and to
live long lives (as they did in the Bible).
The 3-day Cleanse
Drink 16oz. of Prune Juice - first thing in the morning to start the cleansing
process as it draws toxins into the bowels to be eliminated.
Drink 8oz. of fresh juice- Apple, Carrot, Grape,
Citrus, Tomato etc.-but only choose one to drink though out the three days.
Drink after one half hour of the prune juice and drink though out the day
equally a gallon of juice. You may also drink pure water between
juice.
SWISH the juice in your mouth to act as a chewing
action and provide the needed saliva for proper digestion.
Do not eat anything all day, unless you are very
hungry towards the end of the day , then you may eat apples or carrots
or the appropriate corresponding vegetable or fruit that you are using
for juice.
Take 1 or 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil three times
a day, to help in lubricating the bile and liver ducts.
You may experience constipation during these three
days, if so you can use more prune juice or add the following herbs three
times a day. The following formula can be found by many companies
including Nature's Way- Naturalax2, and Nature's Sunshine-LB-X.
Look for these ingredients:
Barberry bark
Cascara Sagrada
Cayenne
Ginger
Lobelia herb and/or seeds
Red Raspberry leaves
Turkey Rhubard leaves
Fennel
Golden Seal root
A "healing crisis' may occur with symptoms of
periodic aches and pains, and you may even feel very ill. Don't
worry during this period, you are eliminating the toxins that you want
to remove from your body. It takes patience and knowledge to realize
that a healing process is under way and and the sooner you feel the discomfort,
the better.
It is also important to realize that an accumulation
of toxic wastes over a lifetime cannot be eliminated in three days, but
it is a start. Also, if you if you are trying to acheive something like losing
weight or getting pregnant or eliminating cancer, it takes work. But you will
be grateful for every day onward that you did what it takes to make it happen.

Mucusless Diet" consult Dr. Christopher's booklet with the same title or
read "Guide to Better Bowel Care" by Dr. Bernard Jensen.
The Mucusless Diet
After the first three days of cleansing, if a
person has the desire or ability to do so, it is always profitable to fast
one to three days using only distilled water, then a day of juice, before
returning to salads and other regular foods. Do not eat any heavy foods
immediately after a cleansing period or after a fast, but add these
gradually . This is the best and smoothest way to get back into solid
foods.- Three-day Mucusless Diet, 1969
We should try to keep mucus forming foods out
of the body. With the Mucusless diet, the sinuses, bronchi, lungs,
and all the tissues in the body will be free of catarrh.
What to Eliminate:
Eggs-extremely mucus forming
Sugar and sugar products
Salt- substitute herbs and kelp
Meat-may eat organic white meat occasionally
Milk and all dairy products- very mucus forming
Flour and flour products- heat changes it to
a mucus-forming substance
What to Add:
Cayenne- 1 tbs. 3 times a day (gradually)
Honey & Apple Cider Vinegar-1 tbs. of each
in warm water 3 times a day
Kelp- 10 to 15 tablets a day if you have a thyroid
problem
Molasses- 1 Tbs. 3 times a day (sorghum or blackstrap)
Wheat Germ Oil- 1 Tbs. 3 times a day
Fresh fruits
Fresh Vegatables
