Dietary Guidelines

For a day or two before and after a session, we suggest drinking lots of filtered or distilled water, herbal teas, and fresh juices; along with eating fresh, organic and seasonal vegetables, fruits, whole grains, soups, and lighter proteins. Eating this way will naturally create a healthier intestinal cleansing atmosphere as well as reduce the possibilities of both excess gas build-up and delay in resuming your proper elimination function.

Minimize your consumption of dairy, sugar, wheat, and red meat as well. Please remember to chew thoroughly! Otherwise, during the releases we may see excess gas as well as undigested food being eliminated, including carrots, lettuces, nuts and seeds, peppers, popcorn, tomato and potato skins.

The following are some examples of healthy, cleansing foods to include:

• Herbal teas – chamomile, dandelion, green, peppermint
• Fruits – apricots, bananas, blueberries, figs, grapes, melons, oranges, papayas, peaches, pears, prunes
• Protein shakes – whey, rice
• Proteins – fish, poultry, tempeh, tofu, seeds
• Juices – vegetable and fruit
• Vegetables – preferably seasonal, beets, celery, cucumber, lettuces, parsnips, squashes, sweet potatoes, sprouts, yams; leafy greens such as collard, kale, lettuces, mustard, Swiss chard, watercress, parsley
• Seaweeds – dulse, kelp, kombu, nori
• Whole grains – amaranth, barley, basmati rice, long grain brown rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa
• Breads (if you must) – ezekiel, gluten-free or manna
