Liver Detox Day 5
Hello Detoxers!
If you've made it this far, congratulations! Just remember, what you do over the next three days will determine how much of the benefits you maintain. Of course, we’d love to hear from you about your results, so please let us know!
I’ve received a number of questions in my email concerning the last day, so let me answer them all at once here.
When and what can I eat today?
You can start eating about 4-5 hours after you have your morning drink. Start with small salads and fresh fruit today (organic if possible). Tomorrow you can incorporate some steamed vegetables. Same on the following day. After that, you're back on your own -- but it's hoped with a little more discipline.
Can I have olive oil with my salad today?
Absolutely. Now that you have had your final morning drink. Oil is not a problem. You can also start having flax oil or flax seed again if you want.
When can I resume taking my supplements such as Men’s Formula, Ever Young, Kombucha tea, etc.?
You can start on Monday. If it’s good for your body, put it in.
I didn't notice anything special while on the detox. Is that good or bad.
Congratulations, you and Jon are in the same place. He never notices anything either. On a more serious note, it may mean that your liver was not overly toxic or packed with stones, or that you only got a partial release this time. Once you've done 2-3 detoxes with no significant side effects, you can be fairly sure your liver is basically clean. But keep in mind, the reason Jon keeps doing 2 liver detoxes a year is to keep things that way.
I didn't see any stones in the toilet.
We have already heard from many people that they have seen "horrible" things floating in the toilet. But many notice nothing. That's not unusual. In many cases the stones are too small to notice -- or too few. Also, using the psyllium, which makes the elimination of waste much easier, tends to encapsulate and makes things harder to see. Another thing to keep in mind is that people often confuse the little "soap" beads that the body can make out of the olive oil as stones. On the other hand, the fact the body often produces "soap stones" doesn't mean that it isn't also flushing real gallstones. In the end, though, it's not what you see, it's how you feel. Wait for a few days after the cleanse and then evaluate. Do you feel lighter and cleaner? Is your breathing a little easier, less mucousy? Does food taste better? Etc. These are the tangible results you're after. Or if nothing else, were you able to break some bad eating habits or lose some of that extra weight you picked up over the holidays?
Again, congratulations to all those of you who made it through to the final day of the Annual Detox!!!
Best wishes,
