COMPLETE BODY CLEANSING

Complete body cleansing consists of external and internal hygiene.  The following section of the book deals with the ways of maintaining complete hygiene in order to improve our overall health.

Harmful materials accumulated in our body over many years are the real cause of many diseases.  To allow the removal of our body’s toxic waste, we first need to unplug all our internal cleaning systems.  Complete body cleansing is absolutely necessary if we want to have a harmoniously functioning body that is free of internal contamination.  Each stage of the cleansing procedure will bring us observable results.  The cleansing of our large intestine will stop bloating, constipation, and heartburn; clean liver brings us better digestion, improved memory, healthy-looking eyes, shiny hair, younger looks, more energy, strength, and endurance.  After the cleansing of our kidneys the bags under the eyes disappear, blood pressure stabilizes, and abdominal pains stop; clean joints (free of salty deposits) have a wider range of motion, better flexibility, and do not react to weather changes.  Clean lymph and blood vessels prevent us from infections, heart attacks, strokes, varicose veins, and many other disorders.

We like the look of our home after renovations.  A clean garment feels good; our car with a brand new paint job is pleasant to the eye.  However, none of these feelings come close to the way we feel when our body is completely cleansed.  If you decide to take this step, you will feel as if you received a brand new body.


EXTERNAL HYGIENE


Cleaning the teeth

We undoubtedly know more about external body hygiene than about internal hygiene, but this knowledge does not always produce expected effects.  Regular teeth brushing, for some people 2-3 times a day is a well-established habit.  We brush thoroughly and use good quality toothpastes but many of us still have to deal with tooth decay and gum disease.  What is the reason for this?

First, the toothbrushes we use damage our teeth as they clean them.  Hard toothbrushes hurt our gums.  Particles of food get into the cuts where they start rotting and cause bacterial infections.  Second, toothbrushes do not improve blood circulation in the gum because they do not provide good gum massage.  Third, toothbrushes themselves are eventually infected with bacteria.  For these reasons, even regular and thorough brushing does not prevent people from two disorders: tooth decay (caused by chemical processes on the tooth surface) and periodontal disease (bacterial infection below the gum line, causing damage to the tissue and bone supporting the teeth).  These disorders cause not only toothaches but also many other disorders such as joint inflammations; high blood pressure; disorders of kidneys, heart, and stomach; poor functioning of the eyes, nose, and ears.  What can we do to avoid all these troubles?  We can follow the example of yoga gurus, who originated body-cleansing techniques.  They consider the use of regular toothbrushes poor hygiene.  Instead, they use disposable toothbrushes in the form of a stem or twig.  Pear-tree, lime-tree, currant, raspberry, pine, or spruce would be good choices.  Take a pine or spruce twig about 6 inches (15cm) long and chew on one end of it until it resembles a brush.  We already achieve a disinfecting effect thanks to some compounds found in evergreen trees.  Now we can put our regular toothpaste on the gnawed end, thoroughly brush our teeth, and massage the gums.

I would like to add a few cautionary words about toothpastes.  One of the better-known toothpaste manufacturers was recently sued over the high fluoride content in their products resulting in the death of some children who liked to swallow toothpaste as they brushed their teeth.  To avoid such tragedy, parents should closely watch their children and stop them from swallowing (many children have this habit).  Yoga gurus do not use toothpastes at all.  They use powdered salt mixed with oil.

For best effects we should brush our teeth for 3-5 minutes (the average person does it for 30-40 seconds).  The Japanese maintain strong and healthy teeth even though they hardly ever use toothbrushes.  Instead, they put toothpaste on their index finger and use it to clean their teeth.  This is a good way to clean and strengthen the teeth and to massage the gums.

My favorite method is a combination of all methods mentioned above.

Toothpaste preparation: prepare a mixture of one teaspoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of vegetable oil, two teaspoons of your regular toothpaste, half a teaspoon of baking soda, half a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of powdered ginger.  Stir it well and store in a dark container.  Dip your index fingers in the mixture and use them to clean your teeth and massage your gums, 1-2 minutes on each side.  Next, brush your teeth for about one minute.  Rinse out your mouth thoroughly using plenty of water.

After this, drink a cup of green tea.  It prevents tooth decay and destroys microorganisms that damage our tooth enamel.

Tongue cleaning

Our tongue is in most cases covered with whitish or yellowish plaque coating, which indicates digestive tract disorders and unhealthy waste deposits in the body.  We should, of course, put our digestive tract in order.  The tongue should be cleaned as often as the teeth; we do not want our tongue to be the breeding ground for oral bacteria.  The method is very simple: Scrape the plaque off with your index finger moving from the back of the tongue towards its tip until the normal pink coloring shows on the entire surface, then apply some oil.

Nose cleaning

Unfortunately nose cleaning is not as much of a habit with most people as tooth brushing.  Many of us put up with all the unpleasant consequences of our nose being plugged up with mucus.  This does not only interfere with correct breathing and the sense of smell, but it also creates other health problems by disturbing the energy balance in our body.  I covered this topic partially in the previous chapters.  Here I would just like to add a few remarks about breathing through nasal passages. 

Ancient Chinese medicine regarded breathing through the right side of the nose as solar and positive (increasing the positive charge in the body), while breathing through the left side was called lunar or negative.  To maintain the bio-energy balance, we must be able to freely breathe through both sides of our nose.

Dust getting into our nose is trapped in the sticky mucous lining of the nasal passages and is swept out by the movements of microscopic hairs called cilia.  Nasal mucous lining has antiseptic qualities and is able to kill a lot of bacteria.  The air we breathe contains so much dust that these defense mechanisms and even the use of hygienic tissue are not able to clean it all.  In addition, most people sleep on the side (the healthy way to sleep is on the back) and this way one side of their nose accumulates more dust than the other side.  This makes normal, even breathing impossible and influences the composition and circulation of our blood.  This eventually leads to sleep disorders, nervous system disorders, and digestive problems.  People with chronic colds age faster, suffer from vision disorders, and experience buzzing sounds in their head and ears.  The inability to breathe evenly through both sides of the nose, in time leads to a general decline of our health.  This is why at any age, as part of our daily hygiene, we should clean our nose cavities and air passages by irrigating them with a solution.

Let us take a look at the technique.

Useful advice:

Dissolve two pinches of salt and baking soda and half a teaspoon of honey in half a cup of warm water.  Pour the solution in a nursing bottle and cut a bigger opening in the bottle’s nipple to let the solution easily get through.  Plug one side of your nose with your thumb, put the bottle’s nipple in the other nostril and draw the solution until it comes out through your mouth.  Repeat the procedure for the other side of your nose.  Do it in turns until you use up the solution.  When you learn the technique well, you can double the amounts of water and other ingredients.  Perform the procedure in the morning or the evening two to three times a week.  From time to time you can use half a cup of mint or chamomile extract, for its antiseptic and aromatic qualities.

Nose irrigation stimulates the nerve endings and mucous membrane.  It helps maintain adequate level of moisture inside your nose in hot weather.  Nose irrigation with seawater is very effective.  Based on my experience and the testimony of my patients, I am strongly convinced that nose irrigation is the only effective method against many disorders originating in our nose cavities.  It is the best therapy against chronic colds and has a toning effect on our brain and nervous system.

Note:  During nose irrigation with seawater, you are going to experience burning and stinging sensations in your nose at first.  This happens because the mucous lining is unhealthy and damaged.  These unpleasant sensations will stop after 3-4 irrigations.

Many laryngologists are against nose irrigation – they prescribe nasal drops instead.  But patients who dry up the mucous lining of their nose and mouth by the use of drops and still do not get any results are often willing to try this method.  What practice proves is often different from what theory teaches.  After a few irrigations, the mucous lining of your nose becomes healthy and strong, you can forget about colds, and you are finally able to fully breathe through your nose.

Ear cleaning

Ear hygiene is not very complicated but it is essential for our overall health.  Nature provided for periodic ear cleaning by means of earwax.  As the secretion comes out of the ear canal, it carries away dust that might have got inside the ear.  If earwax does not move along well, it creates pressure on eardrums.  This may cause headaches, dizziness, and even loss of hearing.  The principle of ear hygiene is simple: We help earwax loosen up by squeezing, twisting, and pulling our ears in different directions.  All these movements help the earwax and impurities move along and come out of the ear.  It is an excellent idea to include the following ear massage in your daily morning hygienic routine (repeat each movement eight times):

1.  Push the humps behind your ears up and down.
2. Bend your ears forward and back.
3. Twist your ears clockwise.
4. Pull down your earlobes.

After this, you can put your index fingers in the ears and move them sidewise in different directions, then remove loose earwax (along with dust and dead cells).

My experience shows that many of my readers are first determined to follow advice and procedures suggested in my books, but eventually they become overwhelmed with their everyday duties and return to their former lifestyle, which does not include much effort aimed at maintaining good health.  I want to remind you that you only have one life and you owe it to yourself to stay healthy and use your life to the full potential.  All aspects of our health are important.  The way our physiology works requires comprehensive care of the entire body.


INTERNAL BODY HYGIENE

We hear from our childhood about external body hygiene, but we know little about internal hygiene.  However, the condition of our internal organs determines much of our external appearance.

You have read this information in the first part of my book.  I purposely repeat the segment here to help you understand the information better in the context of complete body cleansing.

Not many of us know that a grown person’s large intestine contains 17-33 lb (8-15 kg) of hardened fecal material that we carry around all life long.  Usually after the age of 40, our large intestine is so full of fecal matter that it crowds out other organs and interferes with the functioning of our liver, kidneys, and lungs.  It is a considerable cause of diseases.  Let us explain how it works.

Our large intestine is like a pot containing fertile soil in the form of digested food.  The body is like a plant.  The walls of the large intestine are lined with roots that, like roots of a plant, absorb nutritious substances into our blood.  Each group of roots nurtures a specific organ.  Useless waste is discarded.  What happens with the undigested food?

During the next meal, a new undigested chunk sticks to the old one, then another one.  Undigested food sticks to the large intestine’s walls.  We carry around a few pounds of those chunks.  It is not hard to imagine what happens with food products “stored” for many years in temperatures above 96.8F (36C).  The intestine still performs its absorbing function under this layer of filth and delivers toxins, carcinogenic substances - products of decay, to the body.  Obviously, this is not good material for building healthy cells.  Toxins circulate with blood and gradually ruin our health by forming deposits on the walls of blood vessels or in the joints.

Deposits of stagnant fecal matter form hardened layers.  The huge sack of waste pushes internal organs out of their proper places, creates pressure on the diaphragm, significantly lowering the capacity of our lungs.  The liver is pushed out of its place; there is pressure on the kidneys; the small intestine does not have enough space for its movements; men find their genital-urinary systems crowded. The lower section of the rectum is put under most stress: overworked veins expand and form bloody lumps.  A poisoned large intestine can cause countless problems and diagnosis of diseases is unpredictable.  In the worst-case scenario, last stages of cancer, the passage of waste in the large intestine is completely blocked and the body dies poisoned by its own toxins.

Large intestine cleansing

Some symptoms of an unclean large intestine:  constipation, bloating, skin eczemas, pimples, allergies, black stains on the teeth, gray coating on the tongue, unpleasant skin smell and sweating.

Useful advice:

1. Limit your consumption of meat, chocolate, sweets, sugar, cow milk, eggs, and white bread.
2. Drink one cup of kefir every morning and evening.
3. Chew your food thoroughly (each bite 35-50 times).
4. Do not drink during meals.
5. Drink less coffee and tea.

You can test the functioning of your large intestine the following way:  Drink two tablespoons of freshly squeezed beet juice.  If after four hours your urine becomes red, your large intestine is not functioning properly.

Enema

I would like to treat the subject of enema (intestinal irrigation) in more detail because enema is one of the most effective procedures you can do at home to clean toxins from your body.

Some specialists warn that large intestine irrigation destroys the healthy microflora.  I do not agree with that.  It is almost impossible to find a person with a healthy microflora because of our diet, lack of exercise, and the amount of medications (especially antibiotics) we take.  I would guess that about 90% of people have a degenerated digestive tract and a damaged microflora.  Dr. Norman Walker, an American physician known around the world (he lived for 106 years) used enema for 50 years to treat different diseases.  He regarded enema to be the simplest and most effective method to clean internal filth from the body.  He used to say that people who do not believe in enema’s effectiveness need it most.

Practice shows that many people are not ready to use the large intestine irrigation routine because it seems repulsive to them.  They should realize that it is the only way to remove layers of stagnant fecal matter accumulated in their intestine.  Stagnant matter looks much more repulsive, and its smell is worse than the worst sewage system smell you can imagine.  Other people find the position inconvenient or do not have enough space at home to perform the procedure.  There are many excuses.  But the threat of an operation or death provides an instant motivation to try putting their large intestine in order.  The most reasonable behavior is to start using the procedure before we are faced with any serious health threats.

Before I start describing the procedure in detail, I would like you to remember two things.  First, your motivation can be provided by the desire to get rid of stagnant deposits that cause many health problems.  Second, you must follow the prescribed routine in detail to avoid harming yourself and to achieve maximum benefits.

The technique of enema – large intestine irrigation
Make a solution of 1.5-2 quarts (1.5-2L) of boiled water (at body temperature) and 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice (filter pulp and seeds out of the juice).  Put the solution in the enema bag (available in most pharmacies).

Hang the bag about 3-5ft (1-1.5m) above your body level; apply some vegetable oil to the enema tubing and your anus.  Vegetable oil is preferred to vaseline, creams, or soap because it is a natural product and does not plug up skin pores.  Assume the “tiger position” – down on your knees and elbows, your legs slightly spread, your abdomen relaxed as much as possible.  Insert the end of the tubing into your anus and let water flow into it.  Breathe deeply through the open mouth.  The enema bag will be empty in 1-2 minutes and then you can get up.  (If water does not flow freely from the bag, squeeze the enema tube to stop the flow completely for a few seconds and then let the water flow again.)

This is not the end of the procedure.  You should shake up your intestine a little.  One of the ways to do it is to do some jumping and shaking of the lower abdomen with your hands.  In any way, try to create some washing action inside your intestine, then lie on your back and wait.  You will feel a bowel movement reflex in 2-10 minutes.  Be prepared to spend 15-20 minutes on the toilet – take a magazine or a book to read.  Eventually you will feel that all water has left your large intestine (urination is the final sign).

If you are new to the procedure, it is a good idea to take a look at the waste washed out with water.  The sight is unpleasant, even repulsive, but this is what it takes to provide strong motivation for the future.

The routine should be repeated every day in the first week, every second day in the second and third week, and twice in the fourth week.
After the fourth week, most of you will know by the look and smell of your stools that the cleaning has been successful.  To maintain your large intestine in this clean state from then on, it is enough to perform the routine once a week for the rest of your life.

What you have just done can be compared to cleaning up soil around your body’s “roots” by removing layers of hardened fecal matter, mold, putrefaction and fermentation products.  Now these roots can absorb useful substances from the digested food, needed to build new cells.  Your body absorbs no more harmful and carcinogenic toxins.  Now your blood can be cleansed and the development of diseases reversed.  You have achieved it all by yourself.
All organs can receive better nutrition, and clean blood is able to dissolve harmful deposits in other parts of the body.  Internal organs gradually return to their proper places, their functioning improves, blood pressure normalizes from day to day, and no diseases affect your body anymore.

Our large intestine that has been stretched, withered, and malnourished for a long time has to be returned to its proper shape in order to efficiently perform its important functions.  When it is returned to the natural shape, it learns again to move along the masses of undigested food and other waste.

In order to achieve this, we can eat a lot of grains during the weeks of our enema therapy (it is a good idea at any time).  Make sure it is whole grains.  Use only water to prepare them.  As a grain meal passes through the stomach, small intestine, and then enters the large intestine, it helps the large intestine assume the proper shape.

Note: Just remember not to use any milk in preparing your grains.

I presented Dr. Walker’s intestinal irrigation as the simplest and most effective method of cleaning up layers of hardened feces from your large intestine.  There are a few more notes I would like to add:

1. Many people are concerned at first with the amount of water used in the procedure 1.5-2 quarts (1.5-2L).  The capacity of our large intestine (clean and healthy) is about 3.5 quarts (3.5L) – you still have some spare room left.  The feelings of discomfort cannot be avoided at first but they cease eventually.  In the future, when the intestine is clean, it is enough to use just 1 quart (1L) of solution for prevention.
2. Why do we add lemon juice?  Alkaline environment promotes fermentation and putrefaction processes.  By introducing mild acidity, we slow down these reactions, destroy disease-causing bacteria, and stimulate the development of friendly healthy microflora.  Acidic lemon juice destroys toxins and mold (mold is flushed out with water in the form of dark threads.)

For those who find the procedure unacceptable because of its nature, I would like to present a few alternative methods of large intestine cleansing.  You should remember, however, that they are not as effective as enema.

Using kefir, apple juice, and vegetable salads to cleanse the large intestine

Day one: drink 2.5 quarts (2.5L) of kefir (in 6 doses) and eat dark grain biscuits (do not eat anything else all day).
Day two: drink 1.5-2 quarts (1.5-2L) of apple juice (in 6 portions) and eat only dark grain biscuits all day.  The juice should be freshly squeezed out of sweet apples.
Day three: eat only vegetable salads (cooked beets, carrots, potatoes with added pickled cucumbers, sauerkraut, onion, vegetable oil) and dark grain biscuits.
Use this therapy twice a month.

Using fruits to cleanse large intestine

1. Grind up 14oz (400g) of dried plums, 7oz (200g) of dates, 7oz (200g) of apricots, and 7oz (200g) of figs.  Add 7oz (200g) of honey and blend well.  Store refrigerated in a glass container.  Take one tablespoon before going to bed every night until finished.  Use the therapy once every three months.
2. Peel 2 oranges (leave the white lining on the fruits).  Eat the fruits two hours after your last meal, 14 nights in a row.
3. Put 10 dried plums in a cup filled with buttermilk, let them soak overnight, drink the buttermilk and eat the fruits on an empty stomach in the morning.  In the same way, soak ten dried plums all day, drink the buttermilk, and eat the plums before going to bed at night. Repeat the routine for at least ten days. Use once every three months.

Many ill people still fear the irrigation procedure and want to use laxatives for intestinal cleansing.  I definitely discourage the use of laxatives.  They dry up the intestines and cause dehydration of our entire body.  Our large intestine’s muscles should be made to work.  Laxatives cause the emptying of the intestine without engaging the muscle tissue, which leads to its weakening.  Weak intestinal muscles, in turn, cause chronic constipation.  Enema, in contrast, stimulates and normalizes our large intestine’s function.  People who went through a series of enemas do not suffer from constipation.

To bring the expected results, all cleansing routines have to be done in the appropriate order.  You just learned about the first step – large intestine cleansing.  There is no other way to start complete body cleansing.  If you try to skip it and go ahead with the other routines, they will not produce results.

This may be better understood in the context of another secret to maintaining good health: For best results, internal hygiene must go together with smart nutrition.  You will be fully protected from any diseases by applying this principle.  Intestinal cleaning itself does not protect us from huge energy losses in the process of digesting improperly combined meals.  Similarly, a proper diet will not stop deadly toxins accumulated in our large intestine from being absorbed in the blood stream.  On the contrary, it stimulates the absorbing functions.  There is only one way to go – cleansing has to be done by performing the whole presented set of routines.

Having completed the intestinal cleansing cycle, we should learn about the proper combining of foods (Use Table 2) and help our large intestine in building a healthy microflora.

Building up a healthy intestinal flora

By frequent use of medications (especially antibiotics), eating sweets and yeasted baked goods, drinking milk, and improperly combining foods, we make it possible for unfriendly microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeast) to breed in our digestive tract.  These parasites grow into our mucous membrane, feed on our blood, and excrete toxic physiological products.  The toxins bring us headaches; fatigue; colds; frequent eye, bladder, and kidney inflammations; strong pains in our stomach, liver, etc.  The problems caused by the unfriendly microorganisms are quite unpredictable.  They cause dysbacteriosis – (degeneration of intestinal microflora). The best remedy against these disease-causing parasites is garlic.

Not too much of a good thing

Garlic is a natural antibiotic.  As any medicine, it has to be taken accordingly to accurately prescribed doses.  This is why earlier described therapy and the one described below use only small amounts of garlic.

I believe that normally two to three garlic cloves a week in addition to the amount that we consume with our salads and other foods is the adequate intake. The therapy needed for rebuilding healthy intestinal microflora requires increased amounts of garlic.

As a therapy, eat one garlic clove every evening, two hours after supper, for two weeks.  Remember to chew your garlic well and take it without bread.  This may cause a strong burning sensation in your mouth, throat, and stomach.  It is necessary to undergo this suffering – as garlic juice kills disease-causing bacteria, it penetrates small abrasions where the parasites breed.  People with circulatory disorders can get an increased heartbeat.  It is natural because garlic is the only product containing dissolved germanium – an element that wonderfully cleanses and regenerates blood vessels.  All these slight inconveniences are worth suffering for the sake of your health.  You can rinse out your mouth, brush your teeth, have a tea with lemon and honey, or eat an apple before bedtime to remove the garlic smell.  Other ways to do it would be chewing on a lemon peel, orange peel, or cut up parsley.  People who find it impossible to chew a garlic clove can cut it in half and swallow like pills or take the clove with a bread coating around it to reduce the burning sensation.

Having done the intestinal cleansing, we can turn attention to our body’s “chemical laboratory,” which is our liver.  It has an important part in the speedy regeneration of our health.

Liver cleansing

Some external symptoms of an unclean liver

1. Freckles, brown moles, and warts on the skin
2. Brown stains around hair roots
3. Cold and moist skin on the body and hands
4. Yellow stains on the bottom of the tongue
5. Walking in uneven steps

Causes of poor liver function:

• Excessive consumption of food and fluids
• Too much sugar, sweets, fruits, and alcohol
• Too much animal fat, fatty meat, and vegetable oil in the diet
• Eating mainly cooked and refined food products
• Too much fresh bread and other flour-based products
• The habit of eating before bedtime or at night

Useful advice:

1. Limit the number of meals and snacks.
2. Do not eat breakfast.
3. Eat more steamed vegetables (30-40% of the diet).
4. Eat more sauerkraut in the winter.
5. Eat more cottage cheese, kefir, and buttermilk.
6. Eat only freshly prepared meals (do not store and warm them up).
7. Try to use water from melted ice (see earlier chapters) for your cooking and drinking

Liver cleansing should be followed by gallbladder cleansing and pancreas cleansing.

The liver is one of our most important internal organs.  It is our body’s “chemical laboratory,” and its functioning influences the condition of our heart, circulatory system, digestive organs, kidneys, brain, and lymphatic system; it also influences our psychological wellbeing.  Most people who eat improperly combined meals have their liver partially filled with stones, particles of cholesterol and bilirubin (waste from the breakdown of red blood cells that were not removed from the body for various reasons) as early as at the age of five.

There are many formulas that can improve the functioning of our liver, but none of them brings results that would be as obvious as the results of a cleansing procedure.  People who had been suffering from gallstones for more than ten years and were supposed to go through a surgery took care of the problem once and for all by cleansing their liver.  There was no need for the surgery anymore.

There are many cases where a bad condition of the liver disturbs the functioning of the heart.

I would like to mention one such case from my natural therapy practice.  A 36-year-old female patient had a heart disease, looked pale and skinny, suffered from breathing problems, and could not walk.  Her doctors had suggested an operation: removing part of her aorta and replacing it with a segment taken from her iliac artery.  She had been warned that such an operation has the success rate of only 30-40%.  She came to our therapy center looking for help.  We diagnosed a fairly significant inefficiency in the functioning of her liver.  What would be the point of an operation if the blood in her veins remained contaminated, thick, and acidic?  Even if the operation were successful, her health would return to the same condition in five to seven years.  A transplant would remove the symptoms but would not remove the real cause – the poor quality of her blood.  Once the blood is clean, the system that delivers it will heal as well.

The woman received the large intestine cleansing procedure and three routines of liver cleansing.  In three months, she appeared to be a totally different person – healthy, joyous, and optimistic.

Many people are naive in their belief that there cannot be anything wrong with their liver.  From my own experience and that of my patients’, I know that such assumption is a big mistake.  Bile stones stick very hard to the liver.  There were no stones removed in the woman’s first and second cleansing, only dark green cholesterol particles and pieces of mold looking like fragments of a spider web.  However, the third cleansing produced half a jar of stones, a lot of old bile, dark flakes and other filth.  Everybody’s liver has this kind of filth in it, and the amount increases when we get older.  Getting rid of it makes us feel lighter and rejuvenates our entire body.  Liver cleansing is as natural and necessary as periodic cleaning of your home.

Based on my own experience and that of other natural therapy specialists, I am fully convinced that liver-cleansing procedure causes no side effects as long as all instructions are followed in detail.

Instructions for liver cleansing

Note: The effect of the cleansing routine depends on following these instructions in detail and completing all stages of the procedure.

Stage 1 – Preparation for cleansing, relaxing the body.
The relaxing effect can be achieved by using the sauna or steam room or hot showers.  There should be at least two relaxing sessions (5-7 days before the cleansing).  The objective is to warm up, loosen up the body, and generally relax.  The last such routine should be done one day before the main cleansing procedure.

Stage 2
Eat mainly plant-based foods 2-3 days before the procedure.  Eliminate all kinds of meat and fish from your diet.  The only animal products allowed are eggs, kefir, plain yogurt, buttermilk and cottage cheese.

Stage 3
The procedure is best done towards the end of the week (Friday night – Saturday morning or Saturday night – Sunday morning).

Supplies needed:

• 7.5  fl oz  (225 ml) of plant oil of any kind (my choice is grape seed oil) –  will make 5 drinking portions
• 6 average-sized lemons (about 2.2lb/1kg)
• one clove of garlic
• Two small 1.8 fl oz (50ml) cups-glass or plastic (one for oil and one for lemon juice)
• A thermaphore (electric heating pad) or electric pillow
• A jar with a lid

The procedure takes two days.

Day 1

• Eat your last meal before 2 p.m.
• Do not eat any snacks after 2 p.m.
• When you feel hungry, drink fluids (freshly squeezed carrot juice, apple juice, or boiled water are best).
• Most of all, try not to feel tense.  You experience weakness because, as your body is cleansing, in absence of food it absorbs some of its toxins.  You can help by walking as much as possible or doing other physical activity.  Wear warm clothes to prevent loss of energy.  In case of headaches or weakness in the evening, immediately perform an enema.  If it does not help, drink one cup of hot boiled water with a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Use painkillers only as a last resort.
• Before going to bed, necessarily do an enema. Use about 6 cups (1.5 liter) of water with 0.5 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Day 2

• On awakening, you can drink (in small sips) a glass of hot boiled water.
• Do an enema 1.5 quarts (1.5L) of water, 0.5 tablespoon of lemon juice) and go for a walk.
• You can drink juices before 2 p.m. (carrot, apple, or blended).
• Unhook your phone after 2 p.m.; do not do any household chores or work-related duties.  Avoid any unpleasant conversations or stressful situations; try to cut out any interactions.
• Lie down a few times for 20-30 minutes between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.  Try to relax, think of the most pleasant moments of your life.  Warm up your liver with a thermaphore pad or electric pillow (your liver is on the right side, about one inch below your rib cage).
• At 6 p.m. put the bottle with oil into a pot with hot water to slowly warm the oil up.
• Put six lemons into boiling water for 10-15 minutes to make them juicier.
• In the meantime, squeeze juice from one garlic clove into a jar, cover it with a lid and put aside.
• Cut the lemons in half, squeeze them and strain the juice.
• Prepare the bed sheets you will be using during the procedure.

At 6:30 p.m. you should have the following things ready:

• Two 1.8 fl oz (50ml) cups (one for oil and one for lemon juice)
• Electric pillow or a thermaphore pad
• Oil  7.5 fl oz  (225ml)
• Lemon juice 5 fl oz (150ml)

At 6:30 p.m. take a ten-minute hot shower, warm your entire body well and lie down.

Make sure to exactly follow all steps of the following schedule from now on:

• Get up at 7 p.m.; pour oil in one cup (1.5 fl oz / 45ml) and lemon juice in the other cup (1 fl oz / 30ml).
• Drink the oil and immediately follow it with lemon juice.
• Lie down again and warm up your liver.
• At 7:15 p.m. get up, drink oil (1.5 fl oz / 45ml) and lemon juice (1 fl oz /30ml), lie down and warm your liver.
• Repeat every 15 minutes until all oil and lemon juice are used up.  When you experience nausea (usually after the fourth portion), open the jar with garlic and sniff it.  If nausea persists, stop drinking at that stage.  Lie down on your right side, put the electric pillow on your liver and do some reading or watch TV.
• Your most unpleasant time will be between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.  You can experience heartburn, weakness, and sweating.  You must suffer this discomfort for the sake of your health.  People with a poorly functioning liver might feel their liver “breathe”(a gentle squirting sensation in the area of the right rib cage).
• Do not be afraid.  Imagine that you can talk to your liver.  Apologize to your liver for the inconvenience.  Think that you have been understood and forgiven.  This should help your body calm down.
• Limit your walking as much as possible between 9 p.m. and midnight – spend most of the time lying down.
• When you feel bowel movement (about 1 a.m.), go to the toilet.  After the stool, perform an enema and go to sleep.  In some cases, the bowel movement does not take place until morning.  If it does not come till 3 a.m., go to sleep.  Your liver cleansing will be completed when you wake up.

Our bodies have their individual qualities.  Follow the directions and, at the same time, watch your body’s reaction and use your own judgment.

A few further remarks about liver cleansing

1. Some people vomit after their third or fourth portion of oil.  This is a sign that their stomach needs to be clean first.  It usually happens during the first cleansing.  If it happens to you, do not get discouraged.  Complete the procedure and wait for results.
2. Try to stay calm and relaxed during the entire procedure.  If your liver has a lot of impurities to remove, you might feel it go through movements as if it were breathing.  Do not get scared because fear causes spasms in the bile duct and may also cause vomiting.
3. Some people may feel tired the morning after the procedure.  The feeling should go away by the evening.  In most cases, people have more energy, strength, and zest for life as they get up in the morning.
4. If the liver area feels heavy the next morning, the procedure should be repeated in two weeks.
5. People whose gallbladder has been surgically removed often ask if they can use the procedure.  Yes, they can and they need it even more than other people.
6. I tried to include as much detail as possible while describing the procedure because it is like having a small surgery without a scalpel.  You have to be well organized and psychologically prepared.
7. If you experience weakness or nausea from drinking oil, from time to time smell the garlic juice you have prepared earlier.

I would like to quickly sum up the main steps of the procedure:

Day 1

• Don’t eat anything after 2 p.m.  Drink carrot or apple juice – limit the amount to half a glass at a time
• Perform an enema in the evening.

Day 2

• Perform an enema in the morning.
• You can drink juices before 2 p.m.
• Warm up your liver between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
• Take a shower at 6:30 p.m.
• At 7 p.m., 7:15, 7:30, 7:45, and 8:00 drink (1.5 fl oz / 45ml) of oil followed by (1 fl oz / 30ml) of lemon juice.
• Warm up your liver between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.  Try to limit your walking as much as possible.
• After the bowel movement between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., perform an enema.
• Perform another enema on awakening in the morning.
• Eat a light breakfast (fruits and vegetables, other plant-based products, grains).  You can have a vegetable soup for dinner, baked or cooked potatoes with green vegetable salad or rice and steamed vegetables for supper, etc.  Starting the next day, gradually expand your menu.

How many times can we cleanse our liver

• The first cleansing is the most difficult and uses the most of our body’s energy.  It usually removes a lot of old bile, mold, white threads, and green swabs – it does not always remove stones.  The absence of stones does not mean that the procedure is unsuccessful.  It only means that the liver has a lot of impurities in it – the stones will come out in subsequent cleansing procedures.  The second cleansing is easier.  It should be done 3-4 weeks later and the next ones every three months.  There should be 4-7 procedures done in the first year.  From then on, continue with just one cleansing a year.  You may wonder why the first four procedures are done with such short intervals.  The liver has four parts and the first procedure cleanses the first part, the second procedure cleanses the second part, and so on.  If you change your diet, subsequent procedures will remove more and more stones.  The stones accumulated over many years, became round (like stones on the seashore) and adapted their shapes to the shape of the bile duct.  This is why they do not always cause pain but still interfere with your liver’s normal functioning.  A cleansing procedure first breaks the stones up, moves them, and causes them to change shapes.  Subsequent procedures can easily remove the stones.
  
  The word “stones” does not accurately describe the material we are talking about.  They are really soft clay-like chunks the size of a pea, a bean, or sometimes a walnut.
  
  The diet after liver cleansing
  
  You should limit the consumption of products that can damage your liver.  They are: fried meat, spicy fat snacks (especially cold), starch foods such as white flour, cakes, and sweet biscuits.  If your liver is ill, limit vinegar, pepper, mustard, turnips, radish, fried onion, coffee, and tea.  To strengthen your ill liver, you can drink a blend of beet juice and carrot juice (proportion 1:4), up to 0.5 quarts (0.5L) a day.  Vitamins that are essential for your liver (A, C, B, K) are found in large amounts in egg yolk, butter, cottage cheese, tomatoes, beets, carrot, squash, cauliflower, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, apples, dried plums, wheat sprouts, wild rose, and currant.
  
  Useful advice:
  
  There is a very effective remedy against inflammations of the liver and gallbladder: grind 3.5oz (100g) sprouting wheat, 3.5oz (100g) cooked beets, 3.5oz (100g) cooked carrots, and 3.5oz (100g) dried apricot.  Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and some honey.  The blend should have a pleasant sour taste.  You can add some butter or vegetable oil (always add them to your ready meals – do not use for cooking or frying).
  
  Using vegetable juices for liver cleansing
  
  The presented above method of liver cleansing with the use of oil and lemon juice is the most effective; however, some people are not able to drink oil, they cannot even stand its smell.  What can they do about it?  They can cleanse their liver with vegetable juice blends.  This method is longer and less effective.
  
  Drink half a glass of carrot, beet, and cucumber juice blend 3-4 times everyday in proportion 10:3:3 e.g. 8.8oz: 2.6oz: 2.6oz (250g: 75g: 75g) for two weeks.  Perform this 14-day therapy four times (every three months) in the first year and once a year from then on.
  
  Liver cleansing with apple juice
  
  Apple juice works wonders at cleansing our body, especially liver, kidneys, and gallbladder.
  
  Use only freshly squeezed juice (store bought juices do not bring the expected results).  Use mostly sweet apples – add just a few from a sour variety to achieve a pleasant taste.  Drink in small sips and hold each sip in your mouth for a while to let it blend with your saliva.  People with unhealthy digestive tract microflora can suffer from some stomach discomfort, such as bloating, after drinking the juice.  To prevent the discomfort, they can filter the remaining pulp particles from the juice.  You can earlier prepare your digestive system to be able to handle high acid content by drinking half a glass of apple juice 15 minutes before every meal during the proceeding week.  The cleansing lasts three days.  You have to abstain from any food.  Outdoor physical activity would be beneficial.
  
  Each day of the procedure, drink only apple juice in the following amounts:
  
  
  • 8 a.m. – 1 glass
  • 10 a.m. – 1 glass
  • 12 noon – 2 glasses
  • 2 p.m. – 2 glasses
  • 4 p.m. – 2 glasses
  • 6 p.m. – 1 glass
  • 8 p.m. – 1 glass

  
  If there is no bowel movement during the therapy, you can drink stool-stimulating herbal beverages or, even better, perform an enema.
  
  Bone and joint cleansing
  
  It is hard to meet a person who would not suffer from some kind of bone and joint pain.  It makes no difference for the afflicted what we call the illness: rheumatism, arthritis, or osteoporosis.  The label does not change the pain.  I have met many suffering people in the course of my practice.  There were children, youth, and middle-aged people among them.  I feel most for the elderly because they are unhappy and helpless like nobody else.  They do not catch our attention because they are not seen in the streets very much.  In most cases, they spend a lot of time at home alone with their pain.  Most of them are already tired of life.  Sleepless nights and limited mobility result in sad voice and tired-looking eyes.  The common view is that people are lucky if they are still alive at the age of seventy.  It does not bring much comfort to hear words such as, “it’s hard to be old but don’t worry since you can’t do anything about it.”  Younger people use such phrases without thinking that, before they know it, they will be in the same position and will be offered the same kind of comfort.
  
  Ancient Tibetan wisdom teaches: “Strong bones and flexible joints assure long and healthy life.”
  
  There are many factors that influence the condition of our bones and joints.  Diet and the level of physical activity are two examples.  We have a large degree of control over these two factors and must remember to make good choices.  There is one factor that nobody can fully control - our aging.
  No matter how much we care about our internal hygiene, toxic salty deposits will always form on our bones and joints.  They limit our joints’ range of motion and cause painful inflammations (rheumatism, arthritis, etc.).  One of the ways to avoid these diseases is regular cleansing of bones and joints. 
  One stage of the therapy takes three consecutive days and uses 15g of bay leaves.
  
  Day 1 – Break up 0.18oz (5g) of bay leaves, put in 10 fl oz (300 ml) of  boiling water, and boil slowly for 5 minutes.  Pour into a thermos and put aside for 5 hours to settle.  Strain it into another container and drink in small sips every 15-20 minutes over 12 hours.
  Note: Never drink the entire extract at one time – this could cause a hemorrhage.
  
  Day 2 and 3 – Continue as on the first day. 
  
  During the therapy eliminate meat, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, etc. from your menu.
  
  As salts and sand are excreted during the therapy, your urine’s color may change to any from green to light red.  This is a normal phenomenon.  It is a two-stage therapy with a seven-day interval and it should be used once a year.  The best time to undergo this therapy is the summer-fall season.
  
  Kidney cleansing
  
  Some external symptoms of unclean kidneys:
  

  
  
  1. Bags under the eyes
  2. White spots on the nails
  3. Moist palms

  
  Some causes of poor kidney function:
  

  
  
  • Accumulation of mucus and the formation of stones
  • Widening of kidneys due to high fluid intake
  • Shrinking of kidneys as a result of excessive consumption of salt, meat, fish, breads, sweets, flour-based and refined products

  
  Bags under the eyes are a symptom of excess fluids or fat deposits in the kidneys.  If the bags are soft, the fluid intake is too high.  Hard bags under the eyes mean too high consumption of fat dairy products, animal fats and fatty meat, and sweets.  Red eyelids signal the formation of kidney stones.
  With well-functioning kidneys, we urinate 3-4 times a day.  If urination is more frequent, we should limit our fluid intake.  The color of urine should resemble light beer.  Very light coloring means we need more salt; if the color is too dark, we should limit our salt intake.
  
  Another sign that the salt intake is too high is dark brown rings around the eyes.  In such a case, we have to eliminate salt from our diet and use other kinds of seasoning (dried garlic, parsley, etc.)
  
  Out of many available kidney-cleansing methods, I am going to describe four most effective ones.  Please choose one that suits you best.  Regardless of the chosen method, you should eliminate high-protein foods from your menu for the time of the therapy, in particular: liver, fried and smoked meat, salted fish, meat soups, etc.  Eat more salads, fruits, and sprouting wheat.  You can use some salt in your salads to stimulate the kidneys.  Avoid sweets because they interfere with your kidneys’ proper functioning.
  
  Method 1
  This method is identical to the described earlier liver-cleansing method with vegetable juices or apple juice.
  
  Method 2
  For good kidney-cleansing results, drink half a glass of carrot, celery, and parsley juice blend (proportion 9:5:2) 3-4 times a day for two weeks.  Use this therapy once a year during the summer-fall season.
  
  Method 3
  Wild rose fruit brew is helpful in dissolving all stones in the body and reducing them to sand.  Boil 2 tablespoons of wild rose fruits in 7 fl oz (200ml) of water for 15 minutes, let it cool off, and strain the brew.  Drink 1/3 of a glass three times a day for two weeks.  Repeat the therapy every three months.
  
  Method 4
  Parsnip juice is a very effective remedy against genital-urinary system disorders and kidney stones (especially when there is protein in the urine or the kidneys are infected).  It is a strong remedy and should be taken separately (best on empty stomach), in its pure form, 1.1-1.8oz (30-50g) once a day from October to January.
  
  After we get rid of kidney stones, we should, first of all, make changes in our diet.  The stones are only a symptom.  The main cause of their formation is excess of uric acid and its salts in our body due to a high-protein diet, inactive lifestyle, etc.
  
  Lymph and blood cleansing of radioactive and toxic compounds
  (especially useful after chemotherapy)
  
  This therapy should be used at the beginning of the season for flu and other infectious epidemics.  You can quickly and effectively prevent infections in your body without any antibiotics.  Use 2.2 quarts (2.2L) of juice blend daily.  Prepare fresh blend every day.
  
  The content of the blend for one day (freshly squeezed juices only) should be as follows: 32oz/900g of grapefruit juice, 32oz/900g of orange juice, 7oz/200g of lemon juice, and 7oz/200g of distilled water.  The therapy lasts three days (do not eat anything except oranges or grapefruits).
  Drink a solution of one teaspoon of bitter salt (epsom salt) in a glass of warm water on an empty stomach in the morning.  Dress warmly and drink half a glass of fruit juice blend every 30 minutes until the entire blend is finished.  The procedure helps remove toxic deposits from all parts of the body.  The solution attracts toxins from the lymph just like a magnet attracts iron.  The toxic wastes are gathered in the intestines and are discarded.  The body is dehydrated in the process and you need to drink the fast-absorbable juice blend to replenish the fluids.
  
  When you feel hungry, eat oranges or grapefruits and nothing else.  There may be heavy sweating during the procedure – this is one of the normal ways your body is removing impurities.
  
  The second and third days are the same as the first.  The therapy should be used once a year, in the early spring or late fall.
  
  Circulatory system cleansing
  (blood vessels and veins)
  
  Put 1 cup of Fennel seeds, 2 tablespoons of ground valerian roots, and 2 cups of natural honey into a 2-quart (2L) pot.  Pour 1 quart (1L) of boiled water on it, heat up slowly, and boil for 2 minutes.  Set aside and keep at room temperature for 10 hours.  You can cover it with a towel to keep the heat in.  Strain the liquid and keep in the refrigerator.  Take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day, 30 minutes before mealtime, until finished.  Use this therapy once a year.
  
  Additional methods of internal body cleansing
  
  So far I presented the basic methods of internal body cleansing.  There are certain additional procedures that help to thoroughly clean up every little corner of our body.
  
  Honey enema
  Dissolve 1 tablespoon of honey in a glass of water at room temperature and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.  Use 1-2 times a month as your enema solution.
  
  Coffee enema
  Put 3 tablespoons of ground coffee into 7 fl oz (200ml) of boiling water and boil for 3 minutes.  Lower the heat and brew for another 12 minutes.  Strain it and let it cool off to room temperature.  Coffee enema has enormous benefits – it stimulates the lining of the large intestine and removes toxins from it.  It also wonderfully stimulates the functioning of the liver and gallbladder.  Unlike the coffee we drink, it does not damage the nervous system, flush out calcium, or destroy group B vitamins.  The therapy can be used once a month.
  
  Liver cleansing
  People often ask me questions about liver cleansing methods for the elderly or children, alternative to the procedures described above.
  The methods presented so far might not suit some people, for example not everybody can live on just juices for two days or drink 7 fl oz (200ml) of oil (especially in the case of children).  I would like to describe an alternative method for them.  It is a little complicated so please pay close attention to the method, especially the amounts of ingredients used.
  
  Liver cleansing for the elderly and children (without the use of oil)
  
  Sets #1 and #2 are to be prepared at the same time (within one hour).
  
  Set #1
  Grind 3 cups of oats and put it in an enamel 5-quart (5L) pot, then pour 4 quarts (4L) of cold water on it.  Cover the pot with a lid and set aside for 24 hours.
  
  Set #2
  Take a cup of wild rose fruit, chop them into small pieces, put in a 2-quart (2L) pot, and pour 1 quart (1L) of boiling water on it.  Wrap the pot with a towel and set it aside for 24 hours.
  
  After 24 hours, add 2 tablespoons of birch buds and 3 tablespoons of raspberry leaves to the pot with oat and boil it for 15 minutes.  Add 2 tablespoons of corn fibers (found under corn leaves) and slowly boil for another 15 minutes.  Set the brew aside for 45 minutes to settle and carefully strain it. 
  
  Strain set #2 and blend both sets.  The resulting blend is a liver-cleansing remedy for an adult.
  
  If you want to prepare a liver-cleansing blend for a child, reduce the amounts of ingredients according to the age of the child by the following factors:
  

  
  
  • Age 1-3 – 10 times
  • Age 4-6 – 8 times
  • Age 7-10 – 6 times
  • Age 11-15 – 4 times

  
  Pour the blend into bottles and store in the refrigerator or any dry, dark, and cool place.  Take 5.1 fl oz (150ml) four times a day, half an hour before meals (try to limit yourself to four small meals a day).  The last time you take the blend should not be later than 7 p.m. 
  
  Use the following amounts for children (four times a day):
  

  
  
  • Age 1-3 – one teaspoon for two weeks
  • Age 3-5 – two teaspoons for two weeks
  • Age 5-7 – one tablespoon for two weeks
  • Age 7-10 – two tablespoons for two weeks
  • Age 10-15 – four tablespoons for two weeks
  • Over 15 – 5.1 fl oz / 150ml until the blend is finished

  
  Use the therapy once a year.
  
  Kidney cleansing
  
  Method A – Using parsnips and celery roots
  Take 2.2lb (1kg) of parsnips and 1.1lb (0.5kg) of celery roots, clean them, rinse, and grind up.  Put the grinds in a 4-5 quart (4-5 L) pot; add 2.2lb/1kg of honey and 1 quart (1L) of cool boiled water.  Using low heat and stirring with a wooden spoon, bring to the point of boiling, then cover with a lid and put in the refrigerator for 3 days.  On the forth day, add 1 quart (1L) of boiled water, slowly heat up to the point of boiling, let it cool off a little and strain it.  Pour this syrup into bottles and store in a dark place.  Take 3 tablespoons twice a day 15 minutes before meals until the syrup is used up.
  
  Method B – Using currant
  Take 3 tablespoons of young currant leaves, pour 0.5 quart (0.5 L) of boiling water on them, set aside for 20 minutes, squeeze out the leaves and discard them.  Slowly heat up the brew almost to the point of boiling, add 2 tablespoons of fresh, frozen, or dried currant, and set aside for 3 hours.  Drink in small sips throughout the day half a glass at a time and eat the currant fruits.  This method can be used throughout the year not only for its kidney-cleansing effect but also as a rich source of vitamins.
  
  Circulatory system cleansing
  
  The remedies described below are effective against circulatory system disorders – they lower the cholesterol level, reduce high blood pressure, stop buzzing noises in the head and ears, and improve vision.
  
  Squeeze juice from 0.8lb (350g) of cleaned garlic and 24 lemons; blend both juices and put the blend in the refrigerator for 24 hours.  Take 1 teaspoon of the blend followed by half a glass of kefir, buttermilk, or plain yogurt every day before bedtime until the blend is used up.
  
  Blood cleansing (1)
  Pour 0.5 cup of boiling water over 1 tablespoon of green tea leaves, let it stand for 10 minutes, add whole (non pasteurized, organic, best from the farm) milk to fill the glass, add a pinch of salt, and stir.  Drink the blend on an empty stomach in the morning.  Use the same recipe in the evening but add a teaspoon of honey instead of a pinch of salt.  Drink before bedtime, at least two hours after your last meal.  Repeat the routine for six days.  Perform an enema before bedtime every other day.  Eat plant-based food (vegetables, grains, bread, oil) during the therapy.
  
  Blood cleansing (2) 
  Blend 3.4 fl oz (100ml) of nettle juice (squeezed from May and June nettle) with 3.4 fl oz (100ml) of sugar-free apple juice (can be store-bought) and drink on an empty stomach 30 minutes before breakfast.  Use the therapy for 20 days, make a 10-day interval, and follow by another 20 days.
  
  Thyroid gland cleansing
  
  Cut up 40 apple seeds and pour 3.4 fl oz (100ml) of vodka (40% proof and up) over it.  Let it stand for 7 days in a dark place.  Take 7 drops diluted in 0.7 fl oz (20ml) of water 15 minutes before meals.  Use the therapy once every three months.  You can use 21 grapefruit seeds instead of 40 apple seeds.
  
  Cleansing the respiratory organs
  
  The therapy can be used by smokers and people suffering from disorders of respiratory passages.
  
  Method A
  Wash and peel a black radish, cut it up and run through a juicer.  Add 1 tablespoon of honey and drink before bedtime.  Put the pulp on a cotton sheet and use as a compress on your chest (except the heart area).  Cover the compress with a towel or blanket.  Take the compress off in the case of a strong burning sensation to avoid damage to the skin.  Rub some vegetable oil on your chest.
  
  Method B - Cabbage compress
  Take four white cabbage leaves (large enough to cover your lung area), put them in a pot with water, bring to the point of boiling, and cook for exactly 3 minutes.  Rub some lard on your chest and back in the lungs area, use 2 leaves to cover your chest and 2 to cover your back.  Wrap a towel around it, put on a warm shirt, and cover yourself with a warm blanket.  Repeat this for three evenings before bedtime.  After the second day, your lungs will start releasing phlegm; there will be coughing and heavy sweating (this is a normal phenomenon).
  
  Method C - Using pine sap
  Warm up a cup of goat milk (do not boil) and put a piece of pine tree resin in it.  Stir to dissolve the sap completely and let the mixture cool off a little.  Drink it warm before bedtime, rub some herbal warming balsam on your chest and back, and put on a warm shirt.
  
  Cleansing the eyes (lenses)
  
  Methods described below help remove lens clouding due to cataracts.
  
  Method A
  Pour 2 cups of boiling water over 2 teaspoons of Marigold flowers, let it stand for 30 minutes, and strain it.  Drink half a glass 3 times a day, preferably 15-20 minutes before meals.  Use the remaining brew to make eye compresses in the evening and the morning, 5-10 minutes each time.  Repeat the routine for one month.
  
  Method B - Using sunlight to cleanse the eyes
  To improve your vision and prevent vision disorders, you can look at the Sun with wide-open eyes before 8 a.m. and after 6 p.m. (especially in April and May).  The duration of each therapy session should be as follows:
  
  

  • Week 1 - 1 minute
  • Week 2 - 2 minutes
  • Week 3 - 3 minutes
  • Week 4 - 5 minutes

  
  If your eyes start hurting, look in the general direction of the Sun instead of looking straight at it.
  
  Using black radish for body cleansing
  (Joints, lymphatic system, circulatory system, and other internal organs)
  
  Take 22lb (10kg) of black radish, wash them well, cut out all fibers and unhealthy spots without peeling, and then grind them up.  Put the grinds through a juicer - you will get about 3 quarts (3L) of juice.  Pour the juice into glass bottles, close the bottles, and store in the refrigerator (Note: This is important – do not store any other way!).  Take 1 teaspoon 3  times a day, one hour after meals.  Do not overdose – this may have dangerous consequences.  To achieve expected results, continue the therapy until the entire amount of juice from 22lb (10kg) is finished. 
  
  I would like to warn that people with lots of unhealthy deposits in the skeletal system might experience bone pain, sometimes quite intensive.  Do not be afraid and do not take painkillers.  Simply continue the therapy.  This phenomenon is normal during the cleansing process.  A successful therapy can free you from much pain in the future.
  
  If you experience liver pain (this may happen when the gallbladder is cleansed of stones and salt), put an electric thermal pad on your liver for 40-60 minutes.  If there are no liver pains, increase the amount to 2-3 teaspoons after 7 days.  Avoid hot and sour foods during the therapy and limit the consumption of bread, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products. Eat more natural plant-based foods.
  
  Do not discard the pulp from the radishes.  Put it in a pot, add 10.6oz (300g) of honey, stir, cover with a lid, and put something heavy on top of it.  Keep it in a dry, warm place and stir with a wooden spoon from time to time.  When the juice is used up, you can start eating the pulp (it should be sour by then).  Take 1-2 tablespoons with your meals.  Based on my patients’ testimonies, this therapy works like youth elixir - it makes them feel younger and more energetic.  Wrinkles disappear and the complexion on their faces becomes fresh and healthy. Pains in the lower back, upper and lower limbs, muscles, etc. disappear completely.  I use this therapy every five years and people who see me only occasionally say that aging does not affect me.
  
  Cleansing radionuclides and heavy metals from the body
  
  Radionuclides and heavy metals are carcinogenic factors - they cause the development of cancer cells in our body.  They get into our body with air, water, and food.  All city dwellers without exception have high levels of these substances and are at risk of developing cancer in one of their organs.  This is why cleansing the body of radionuclides and heavy metals should be an integral part of our hygiene.
  
  Method A - using pine buds
  Put 4 tablespoons of young pine buds into a half-quart (liter) jar, pour a cup of honey over it, and put it in the refrigerator.  The buds will start producing juice after two days.  Take 1 tablespoon of this juice 3 times a day.
  
  Method B - using pine or spruce needles
  Pour 1 quart (1L) of boiled water over 0.5 cup of cut-up pine or spruce needles, slowly warm up for 10-15 minutes almost to the point of boiling, then strain the brew.  Drink 1-2 cups twice a day for seven days instead of tea, take a two-month interval, and repeat for another seven days.  Use this therapy once a year.
  
  Method C - using flax seed
  Pour 1.5 quart (1.5L) of boiling water over 0.5 cup of flax seed, cook it for two hours on low heat, cool it off and strain.  Drink it out throughout the day.  Use the therapy once a year for two weeks.
  
  Sucking oil
  
  This method can be used in the treatment of vein inflammations, chronic anemia, paralysis, eczema, swelling, gastrointestinal disorders, heart and circulatory disorders, cancers, joint disorders, and many other health conditions, which may be less serious but still troublesome.
  
  You have probably seen little children sucking on their thumbs.  This reflex is provided by nature as part of the child’s self-preservation instinct.  Its task is to produce large amounts of saliva, which has an antibacterial effect.
  
  This is probably where folk medicine got the idea for a therapy, which uses a similar mechanism – holding vegetable oil in the mouth for about 30 minutes produces a therapeutic effect.
  
  The amount of blood circulated through our mouth area in 30 minutes equals 3.5-4 quarts (3.5-4L).  Vegetable oil has good absorbing qualities.  The therapeutic method described below uses these qualities to absorb toxic substances from our body.
  
  The method is simple, painless, and absolutely harmless.  Many generations of Siberian healers used it with good effects.  The essential steps of the procedure are the following:
  
  The therapy should be done on an empty stomach in the morning or before bedtime in the evening (3-4 hours after your last meal).  Use not more than 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil or peanut oil, hold it in the front part of your mouth, and perform with your mouth, for 25-30 minutes, an action similar to sucking on a candy.  The sucking action should not be very intense.  The oil will thicken first and then it will become more liquid and white.  Make sure you spit out the oil after the procedure.  It should not be swallowed because it contains substances that cause many diseases.  You can use the method as long as needed.  Eventually you will feel refreshed, energetic, and calm.  You will also regain good sleep and memory.  Acute diseases are cured quickly – within 2-3 weeks.  Chronic conditions take several months to a year and we should be aware that the therapy might trigger certain mild symptoms (e.g. the feeling of weakness) during the first week.  This phenomenon is associated with the weakening of the disease’s focal points.  It is normal and we need to go through the experience.  Properly implemented therapy will bring such noticeable signs as more energy on awakening, better appetite, and the feeling of freshness.  Based on the state of your health, you can make your own decision about the duration of the therapy.  Healthy people and children can use the method for two weeks as a preventative measure.  This will not only prevent diseases mentioned above but also remove toxic heavy metals that can be found even in a healthy body.  I do not need to convince anybody that prevention is better than treatment.  The method brings best results if used daily for 1-6 months.
  
  
  Dear Readers,
