you're taking better care of your health.

Probably more now than ever, right?

Maybe you're trying to lose weight.

Maybe you're exercising more.

Maybe you're reading food labels.

But if being healthier is just a matter of eating right and

exercising more, then why does it seem so hard to get

rid of the excess weight?

And why is our society struggling so hard with health concerns that don't reflect

this healthier lifestyle?

Unfortunately, despite all of your due diligence and efforts to get into better

shape, there are other “hidden factors” that can short circuit your hard work by

making it more difficult to lose weight.

Even worse, these silent dangers are potentially creating an environment in your

body that could lead to long-term illness.

What could be so unnoticeable yet so DAMAGING to your health and vitality?

I'm talking about the unhealthy buildup of toxins as a result of our environment,

as well as the foods and drinks that we consume on a regular basis.

But all is not lost.

In fact, with the Easy 3-Day Detox program we‟ll uncover HOW YOU CAN

SAFELY AND EASILY REMOVE THESE HARMFUL TOXINS FROM YOUR

BODY to not just speed up fat burning…but also CREATE AN AMAZINGLY

HEALTHY BODY THAT LOOKS GREAT AND FEELS GREAT!

3

We‟re going to discuss the biological mechanics within your body that help you

detox and why they‟re under attack with your diet.

Then we‟re going to dispel your current misconceptions about what detoxing

is and isn‟t (and you‟re going to be RELIEVED to learn what we‟ve found).

Finally, we‟re going to challenge you to implement your detox for JUST 3 DAYS.

And if you‟re still hanging in there once the 3 days is done: we‟re going to help

you learn how to incorporate these principles month after month, year after

year for a longer, healthier, and more satisfying life.

What you‟re about to discover is an account of my interview with renowned

author and health expert, Yuri Elkaim.

Part I: Why Should I Detox?

Your Body: The Toxic Waste Dump

When you envision “toxins”, you probably see barrels of chemical waste lying in a

landfill somewhere with skull and crossbones clearly labeled on the side.

Perhaps you see sad images of animals covered in oil from a plant disaster near

some ocean or lake.

After reading this book, you‟re probably going to see a picture of Diet Sodas or

Wonder Bread in place of these terrible images.

Toxins come in many forms…and some of them are infiltrating your body even as

you read this sentence.

Where do they come from?

Well, primarily from two sources:

From OUTSIDE your body (called “exogenous” sources); and

From INSIDE your body (known as “endogenous” sources)

To break these down further, from OUTSIDE your body, toxins and chemicals

enter your body through 3 big sources:

Your food supply

Your water supply

Air pollution

Gases from vehicles, your favorite air fresheners and cleaning products, or even minerals used in your prescription drugs will assist to make your body more toxic.

Adding insult to injury, many of these toxins in our food, air, and water supply are XENOESTROGENS that contribute to hormone imbalance and are a great detriment to the immune system.

8

Not to mention they contribute largely to men‟s plummeting testosterone levels and rampant problems in the bedroom as is evident from the many “little blue pill” commercials on television.

Causes for these massive amounts of “environmental hormones” are even coming from plastics!

Certain types of plastic containers can leech a chemical called bisphenol A (BPA). Look on the bottom of your plastic containers to see if there's a little recycling symbol with a 3, 6, or 7 listed on it.

If so, stay away from it unless it specifically states next to the symbol that it's "BPA Free"!

There‟s no way of escaping the toxins in our air, however the Easy 3-Day Detox will assist you in GREATLY REDUCING the amount of exogenous toxins in your system through food and water.

With that said, the other source of toxins actually comes from INSIDE your body.

Essentially, your body‟s cells produce waste all the time.

It‟s part of the natural metabolic process your body goes through.

Those toxins are like your cells‟ micro feces; produced by cells similar to how

you expel waste when you go to the bathroom.

These toxins need to be removed from the cells and processed out through the

body.

This is your body‟s NATURAL WAY TO DETOX ITSELF.

But DETOX is a strange word with a lot of misunderstanding behind it.

So let‟s clear up a few things right now, ok?

9

Detoxing Demystified!

You “get it”.

You may have even tried a detox diet or cleanse yourself.

IN FACT - most people also know that:

We’ve got to WAKE UP and start taking ownership of our bodies, our

food supply, and our well-being

… and stop hiding like ostriches with our heads sandwiched in the dirt and

our hands elbow-deep in a bag of potato chips!

In order to take ownership of their bodies, many will take the approach of denying

themselves something that is clearly unhealthy – such as daily desserts or fried

chicken binges.

A great many of these people will take it even a step further to explore holistic

nutrition.

When it comes to holistic practices like cleansing and detoxing, there‟s still a lot

of misunderstanding and mystery surrounding these principles.

Some of the misconceptions we‟ve heard are:

1. I don‟t want to subsist on tree bark and graze on grass to get healthy

2. I can‟t afford to go to drain my whole paycheck on health foods

3. I don‟t have the time to research plants and mystery fruits to verify

whether or not I even need them.

4. I‟m very regular; my body does a great job of digesting what I consume.

5. Cleansing?! Detoxing!? No Way! That’s New Age-y Witchcraft!

6. I‟m not a Hollywood starlet, how could I afford to do such a thing?

…And here‟s one of our favorites:

7. I once knew a guy who did a Cleanse that was so extreme it took up

his entire day just to maintain!

10

No matter what you‟re current level of knowledge or experience, you must know

that that detoxing is NOT something to be seen as hard or new age-y.

The Easy 3-Day Detox is going to introduce you to a lifestyle of constant

cleansing that is, well, EASY!

In the simplest terms, detoxing comes from the word "detoxification".

Cleansing is a fanciful word we use to make a New Age-y life of eating bark and

grass sound desirable.

JUST KIDDING!

Cleansing is just a synonym we use for the process of detoxification.

In all seriousness, what you may not realize is that YOUR BODY IS

DETOXIFYING EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF YOUR LIFE.

Yes, it‟s true…

…as you‟re reading this

…as you exercise

…as you're sleeping

…your body is always, always, always detoxifying!

There is a reason for this.

You obviously realize that your body produces waste materials which are

excreted by the body into your toilet.

Well, imagine if you NEVER had a bowel movement or urinated!

It wouldn‟t take long at all for that waste material to build up in your body and

have catastrophic results, right?

Well, just as we produce “waste” when we go to the bathroom and “do our thing”,

our cells too, produce waste material.

That waste needs to be removed so it doesn‟t cause damage.

Though other bodily systems are at work, this waste removal primarily happens

through your body‟s main detoxification organ, the liver.

11

Your liver acts as a filter through which your blood flows.

Toxins that are deposited into the blood stream reach the liver and are removed

so they can‟t do any further damage.

To accomplish this, the liver goes through a complicated two-step process.

This is the process behind detoxification and the reason that your Easy 3-Day

Detox is so important.

We cleanse to help our bodies with the detoxification process, and thereby

preventing some of the physical ailments, malfunctions, and even mental blocks

that form from being overly toxic.

Keep reading to learn more about how our minds and bodies benefit from the

Easy 3-Day Detox program.

12

The Legend of the “Cleansing Quick Fix”!

It‟s unfortunate but true: the natural health industry has instilled a belief in people

that detoxing and cleaning is some sort of a quick fix to all their health concerns.

Supplement companies have brainwashed people into believing they can merely:

Grab a pill

Take a magic powder

Poop some more

Park further away from the White Castle entrance…

… And this is all it takes to benefit your health!

Wrong answer!

Cleansing, when done right, when done the way we’re about to show you, is

something that should be in the back of your mind all the time. And the reason

this Easy 3-Day Detox is REVOLUTIONARY is because it EMPOWERS through

EDUCATION and it WORKS!

Because the drug companies want you to continue taking joint pain medication

for your arthritis – they aren‟t prescribing you with a NATURAL remedy for

combatting this condition.

Because the government doesn‟t profit off of lobbyists for natural foods, but they

profit largely from the massive food conglomerates, you won‟t hear the

President or Prime Minister of your country vying for more honest food labels and

calling out food conglomerates... or the creators of the “food pyramids”

Americans learn in kindergarten!

Instead, you‟re going to continue thinking that your morning cereal that is richly

fortified with neurotoxins, high fructose corn syrup, and loads of preservatives is

good because it‟s got “Whole Grains”, one of many myths purported by the

money grubbing fake food pushers… and we‟ll explain more about myths such

as these later in the book.

It‟s something that can be done on a daily basis through the food that you

nourish your body with.

13

In most cases, these foods are already in your diet or your home.

It's not about following some erratic, extreme cleansing program that you read

about in Hollywood tabloids.

(How long can you really subsist on spicy lemonade?)

FAD CLEANSING JUST ISN‟T SUSTAINABLE.

To truly benefit your body and feel the amazing effects of a detoxified system,

you must follow a natural cleansing program that you can sustain on an ongoing

basis.

And here we come to the ultimate truth about detoxing…

You see, YOUR BODY KNOWS HOW TO HEAL ITSELF!

It knows how to get rid of the harmful toxins that are in your body right this

minute.

Of course, medical doctors have different trains of thought on this.

For example, if you‟re a burn victim some doctors will load your diet up with tons

and tons of protein.

On the contrary, some will tell you to do nothing but rest and let your body heal

itself.

With cleanses, it‟s the same thing; some nutrients can assist you substantially

but for the most part your own body is the most powerful antidote to

detoxification.

In most cases, detoxification actually works BETTER when we don't ingest all

sorts of weird cleansing concoctions or outlandish super-supplements.

The best support we can give our body in its natural detoxing process is actually

to do nothing.

For instance, one more extreme cleansing example is the water fast.

When you hear about people doing water fasts (which is pretty extreme), you will

see that these people are taking advantage of the fact that their BODIES are

doing the work WITHOUT the aid of miracle bark or magic plants!

14

What‟s truly needed is to give your body the time and environment to heal itself

naturally is the ABSENSE OF TOXINS.

So now the question is, if detoxification is such a “natural process” of your body,

and we're constantly regenerating cells and we're constantly fighting these

toxins, why is it then that it becomes so hard for people?

What's happening that's causing our bodies to hold on to these things?

Your Body Holds On To Toxins

with a White-Knuckle Grip

Imagine if you couldn‟t remove the garbage from your home.

Life carried on like normal, but the garbage produced in your home stayed within your home.

Think Extreme Hoarding – where absolutely nothing escapes!

It wouldn‟t take long before things would begin to rot, smell, become unsanitary, and make life absolutely unbearable.

Within our bodies, our cells produce waste all the time.

These are the ENDOGENOUS sources of toxins.

Endogenous toxins, those from within the body, are thrown into the lymph system.

Then they‟re processed through the colon and the urine.

It‟s as though you‟re piling up garbage bag upon garbage bag without your body and WITHOUT CLEANSING, YOU LITERALY PLUG UP YOUR SYSTEM WITH WASTE.

Why is this dangerous?

Many people experience the inability to expel solid waste regularly.

This typically is due to poor food choices.

Their internal systems are working fine but as the days and even weeks pass, their feces piles up inside.

15

By some estimates in the medical community...

If you have ONE bowel movement a day, it‟s estimated that you have about 1.5

pounds of fecal matter in your intestines and colon.

Not too bad...but there are MANY people who DON‟T “go number 2” every day!

So it‟s estimated that if you have a bowel movement EVERY 2 DAYS...then you

have about 9 POUNDS of fecal matter sitting inside of you.

But get this...

If you‟re one of those people who only have a bowel movement once every 5 DAYS (yes, they‟re out there!)...you could have up to 14.5 POUNDS of rotting matter in your system!

In fact, we‟ve had reports of people using our detox methods who were able to lose up to 5 POUNDS in a single day as their body purges all of this built up waste matter!

And just think of all the poisons leaving your body when that happens!

You see, after the liver has detoxified everything it can muster, toxins are sent to the colon.

Essentially the colon, where the solid waste products are being naturally formed, is full and has a hard time passing the toxic waste.

Because the waste has nowhere to go, the toxins eventually recirculate throughout the body.

They even circulate throughout your bloodstream.

This condition, known as autointoxication, reintroduces the unwanted toxins to your body and creates serious problems.

It‟s even considered a major cause of low sex drive in both men and women and erectile dysfunction!

Now, do we mean that basically avoiding fast food or fattening foods will magically reduce the risk of toxins in our bodies and bring back the libido of a 17 year old on prom night?

NO!

16

We consume toxins from foods as healthy as blueberries, apples, and lean meats, even in our drinking water!

These toxins that come from our food and water supply or through air pollution are from exogenous sources, or outside the body.

It‟s the crux of the argument for organic foods, which are grown without the use of pesticides and other chemicals.

Exogenous toxins cripple our body‟s detoxification process – it‟s like your metaphorical Detox Factory is in perpetual overload and can‟t keep up with the amount of toxins it needs to cleanse your body of.

Toxins we don‟t eliminate create free radicals in our bodies which impair our immune systems through binding to immune system information pathways called cytokines.

Once your body can no longer ward off the attacking toxins, poisons and microbes will win the war.

Ailments, cancers, and even death can be attributed to this toxic overload.

Our bodies haven‟t evolved to the point of being able to handle these toxic overloads so they just hang on to those chemicals.

Are you TOXIC?

It is important that we learn how to recognize when we are toxic and what to do about it.

Thanks to the steps outlined in this book – we CAN GREATLY REDUCE the amount of petrochemicals, pesticides, and other manmade toxins through a few simple diet tweaks.

First it‟s important to continue to outline the biology behind the Easy 3-Day Detox so that you‟re body and your mind will be properly equipped for the war against toxins.

17

SCARY Places You Store Your Toxic Waste

If the thought of toxins in your bloodstream doesn‟t make your blood curl… this will.

Once your liver has detoxified your body as much as it can it passes the baton to your colon.

As stated above, your colon is already backed up with work and passes the baton off to your fat cells.

Toxins are then stored in your fat cells when there‟s nowhere left for them to go and not escape through the liver and natural digestion.

That‟s TERRIBLE.

Most people who‟ve been turned on to cleansing did so during their initial attempt to lose weight.

Once you burn those fat cells, the toxins are released.

Therefore if you‟re trying to lose weight, it‟s CRITICAL that you simultaneously detox.

When we carry excess fat on our bodies, we also retain toxic chemicals that are fat-soluble.

These chemicals may remain the in body for years!

Moreover, toxins don‟t just curl up into your fat cells, but they bunk with your nervous tissue as well.

If you remember 8th Grade Bio, nervous tissue isn‟t the one you need after sitting passenger while your fifteen year-old is getting his drivers permit…

Nervous tissue is the material that makes up your brain, spinal cord, and the

nerves around your body.

With degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer‟s, and other

debilitating conditions of the nervous system at epidemic scales, experts and

doctors are looking towards our chemical-laden food, water, and air supply for

answers.

18

If we‟re storing toxins in the nervous tissue for years and decades, there‟s much

more than fat that you should be worried about in the long term.

19

Identifying YOUR Toxic Buildup!

You may not know that you have a toxic buildup.

This is because people get used to the state that they‟re in.

Some signs are:

8. Lack of energy, lethargy

9. Gastric problems

10. Food Cravings

In most cases, you won’t recognize the symptoms until you become healthy and find yourself saying, “AHA! Now this is the way I SHOULD feel!”

As we mentioned above, the excess of toxins in your body manifests itself in your bloodstream through autointoxication.

This allows us, in our quest for healthier, happier, and more energetic lives, to become our own toxin detectives.

Where do you start?

First, look at your blood – alive.

A blood test at a clinic or with a naturopath can determine whether or not you are toxic.

With just a small sample, the experts can look at your blood using a special dark field microscope.

These tests are called either live cell microscopy or dark field blood analysis.

This is where you can really learn about the health of your blood, your red blood cell activity, and if parasites or toxins are present.

The naturopath or doctor is going to able to point out such things as:

1. Acidic blood – You’ll SEE your red blood cells clumped together!

2. Parasites – Eew!

20

3. Actual toxins in your system

This is a HUGE wakeup call for people!

Your blood is:

1. Your biggest tissue

2. A reflection of your health

3. The passageway of oxygen to your cells

… And we have a TON of it!

When toxins are present in our blood it slows the movement of oxygen-carrying red blood cells.

This is why you may feel tired all the time; oxygen is not being efficiently carried

to your cells.

Another important skill that you need to master in order to identify the presence of toxins in your body is the ability to be aware of yourself.

Sounds simple, but it means taking note of how you feel and symptoms that arise throughout the day; especially before and after meals.

HEY… if some so-called “diets” ask you to weight your food to the micro-ounce or COUNT calories (YUCK!)… the least you can monitor during your Easy 3-Day Detox is how you feel, right?

When you don’t pay attention to your own body, it is difficult to know what healthy does and does not feel like.

These skills will become easier and more accurate as you experience more and more what it feels like to be healthy.

Can you imagine actually being joyfully able to deny your body the nasty foods you currently crave because you‟re so in tune with yourself?

It‟s pretty metaphysical, actually!

How would your weight loss and overall diet goals change if you suddenly woke up one day and said to yourself…

Coffee with cream and sugar? No way, I actually want to stay awake through my 3 o‟clock meeting today!

21

Big Mac for lunch? That sounds terrible! I wouldn‟t even make it through the first bite!

Sugar cravings? Not really. But sometimes I really get a hankering for a kiwi-strawberry smoothie from my juicer!

Similar to the way you can‟t stand the taste of tequila because of that first night in Cancun that ruined your whole week…

… When you know what HEALTHY feels like, you never want to go back to the perpetual hangover of being toxic.

22

Your Tongue Is Trying To Talk To You…

Go to a mirror and look for these potential signs of toxicity…

Crack Down the Middle of the Tongue

A midline crack not reaching the tip of your tongue indicates that you have a weak stomach and digestive function is not what it should be. As a result, you could be lacking some essential nutrients. Underactive digestion can manifest through bloating and gas after meals and even a slump of energy during the day.

Teethmarks Around the Sides of the Tongue

Teethmarks around the sides of the tongue are a sign of nutritional deficiency, especially

in relation to the function of the spleen and stomach. Sluggish spleen function is very

common and is often accompanied by bloating and gas. The main function of the spleen

is the production and storage of red blood cells, a vital component of our blood.

Swollen Tongue and/or Thick White Coating

These are indicators that there is too much mucus in your body. These can also indicate

a lack of beneficial bacteria in the colon, and even an overgrowth of yeast (ie. candida).

Horizontal Cracks, Small Cracks/Grooves

Sometimes referred to as a geographic tongue. Cracking on the tongue is a sign of

malabsorption, especially of B vitamins, and is often accompanied by a lack of energy.

Cracks like this take a long time to develop, indicating that such nutrient deficiencies may

have been present for a long time.

23

Part II:

Preparing Your Body for the

Easy 3-Day Detox

Getting Your Game Face On

You feel lethargic and fatigued sometimes.

You have a hard time with regularity and digestion.

You have already seen first-hand that your blood is riddled with toxins…

(And you want your blood to flow like the freeway at 3 a.m.)

So how will we prepare for a full-out cleanse?

For most people, detoxing will involve a calculated, daily change of eating habits.

As we know, kicking any habit is no walk in the park.

If you‟re truly addicted to toxic- particularly those foods that contain a higher ratio of chemicals than actual FOOD- you‟re going to have a tougher time than others!

Have you ever heard an Italian claim that foregoing pasta leads to depression?

What about the term emotional eating?

Maybe you can‟t sit through a movie without buttered popcorn and soda.

We are tied to the foods we eat in a variety of ways such as:

* Psychological

* Emotional

* Physiological

* Cultural

24

This can make any changes tough, especially if your current eating habits are tied into any of the above.

If you‟ve ever fought a soda pop addiction, cigarette smoking, chocolate, refined sugar, or even salty cracker cravings when you‟re trying to lose weight, you understand that becoming healthy involves substantial and difficult challenges.

In fact, even those of us who are generally healthy eaters will find changes to their routine to be a substantial challenge.

Maybe you‟re going to have to cease alcohol or caffeine intake (or both!)

The challenge is especially noticeable for those of us who are independent and generally subject to the whim of our own desires…

- You decide when you want to eat

- You decide what you want to eat

- You decide with whom you want to eat

… and you generally make healthy food choices! Right?!

While making your way through law school you‟ve enjoyed a steady diet of protein bars and lattes.

You‟ve become accustomed to your evening dinner of low-fat buttery popcorn with diet soda – at 10 p.m.

Not so bad!?

Well, a life of regular detoxification and cleansing is just as important for you, too!

You think that:

Fat-Free dressings

Diet Sodas

“Lean Meats”

“Heart healthy” packaged foods

“Low Fat”, “Fat Free” or “Reduced Fat” Options

25

… Will keep you “clean”.

NO.

Diet options can sometimes be your worst enemy!

Nonetheless, it‟s still imperative that you get your blood tested, know the truth,

and modify your diet accordingly.

You may have a lot to change and that‟s fine!

It won‟t take long before the whole process becomes easier… and eventually a

preferred way of life!

(And it doesn‟t involve sucking down clay, either!)

The positive feeling you get after the changes are made is exactly what we want

to explore next…

26

Will I Lose Weight BECAUSE I Detox?

In a word, YES!

One of the most obvious benefits that you will see and feel as you rid your body of toxins is weight loss.

As explained in Part One, in response to the toxins in your body, your body will literally store toxins in you FAT CELLS to keep them OUT OF YOUR BLOOD.

Your body holds on to fat stores as a protective, defense mechanism.

Therefore, if you’re overweight, you’re most likely toxic.

As long as the toxins are present, the fat cells stay too.

The good news is that as soon as you start to cleanse your body, your fat stores will be free to release toxins, and you begin to lose weight easily.

You experience a virtual cleansing of your system.

Think of toxins that your body stores in fat as that report you were asked to do by your boss… eight months ago.

Or that chair your wife wanted you to restrain… that‟s sitting in the back of your garage.

Your detox allows your liver, pancreas, and GI Tract to sneak attack these fat stores and get rid of toxins it‟s been TOO BUSY to get to. (Kinda like that leak in your roof…)

27

… And Clear Up My Skin, Too?!

Do you suffer from acne?

What about eczema?

Most skin issues will clear up with your detox diet!

Because your skin has a direct relationship with your liver, you can look at your skin conditions to learn about the health of your liver.

Skin conditions may be a sign that your liver is toxic, overworked, and stressed.

Have you ever noticed a breakout during stress?

What about yellow tones in an alcoholic?

This is signs of liver poisoning.

Important: Many of today‟s best-selling skin products and even shampoos are

loaded with proven cancer causing chemicals!

To avoid further toxic exposure, you and your family should strictly avoid these ingredients:

Sodium laurel sulfate – There have been studies that claim this common

shampoo ingredient can cause headaches and even nerve damage when

massaged into the scalp!

Propylene glycol – Skin conditions like eczema are only part of the problem.

Kidney and liver damage are possible!

Diazolidinyl urea – This can release formaldehyde into your body. Yes, the

same substance that preserved dead frogs in jars for your school biology class!

Parabens – You‟ve seen them on your skin care products ingredients list. But

did you know that these are xenoestrogenic substances that are adding

excessive female hormones to your body?

28

The Easy 3-Day Detox is invaluable for people who want to look better without having to cake on makeup every time they get out of the shower.

Or for those who truly are afraid to go swimming or enjoy a nice vacation because they aren‟t comfortable with their skin.

The same goes for your hair and fingernails.

Some people have even reported grey hair being restored to the pigmentation they enjoyed in their youths.

This is because your hair and nails have the same nutrients and metabolic pathways as your skin.

And if you aren‟t completely on board yet, this next Detox Benefit will most assuredly get you there!

29

Will Cleansing Make Me Smarter?

So let‟s review:

Once you begin to detox you‟ll see improvement in your:

Skin

Hair

Nails

Weight

… And mental clarity?!

YES! And HOW!

Most people also find a TREMENDOUSLY positive change in their mental clarity when they detox.

Our minds tend to get bogged down or foggy when we are in a toxic state.

Many people obsess over when their next meal will come or where they‟re going to eat.

People have a connection with food that causes them to want to have full bellies all the time.

When we purify our bodies through proper foods and AVOID toxic foods it makes our bodies more pure.

We aren‟t obsessing over meals or suffering from unhealthy cravings.

Our minds are free to focus on tasks at hand and tune out distractions.

Ultimately, a clear mind is a powerful tool that allows you to be more productive at whatever you do.

Perhaps today you feel foggy or you constantly feel like you want a nap.

You‟re compulsively watching the clock at your desk- barely able to focus on your computer screen.

Once you‟ve cleansed it‟s like you suddenly find yourself restless in the OPPOSITE sense of feeling foggy and detached from your world.

Now you‟re engaged with life.

Your mind is running a mile a minute.

You‟re experiencing a sort of connection with your surroundings like you’re seeing things for the first time.

YOU’RE IN THE ZONE.

This is incredible for athletes.

It‟s GOLD for business owners, entrepreneurs, and sales reps.

It‟s life-saving for workers who are looking to become more productive on the job in order to gain a promotion, job security, or merely to feel more satisfaction with what they‟re doing.

Moreover, people who cleanse claim to find themselves sleeping less.

Perhaps you have struggled getting out of bed in the morning or getting much done before 10 a.m. – for YOU this cleanse will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

31

Cleansing to be “Energy-Efficient”?

It sounds silly, perhaps.

But truly, you‟re going to notice your energy levels SKYROCKET when you cleanse; it goes hand-in-hand with a toxic-free body.

Our society is presently addicted to stimulation:

Television

Coffee and sodas

Sugar

Energy supplements

Even vodka doesn‟t CUT IT for our toxic diets anymore: we mix this hard liquor with Energy Drinks!

Overly caffeinated and sugary drinks only provide quick fixes for more deeply rooted issues.

The above sources give you a quick spike in energy, but result in an energy crash.

So we double up the sources.

We combine them.

When we crash again we jump back on the cycle to reenergize.

A pot of coffee to wake up, soda at lunch, energy drinks at 3 p.m. and then beer or wine after work, coupled with sugary desserts – and not the pineapple or mango kind, but refined sugar, a TERRIBLE food we should ALWAYS stay away from.

In order to bring the feeling of high energy back tomorrow morning, another round of stimulants is required, and the cycle of reintroducing toxins continues over and over again.

HERE’S WHERE WE SHAKE THINGS UP:

With a body that is rid of toxins, you will find you don‟t need energy supplements because your energy levels are higher and sufficient for the entire day.

32

In addition, you will begin to feel a better about YOURSELF.

You‟re going to feel more relaxed, more satisfied with yourself, and a lot happier.

Your emotions are richly rewarded when your body cleanses.

People who have worked the Easy 3-Day Detox into a healthier lifestyle notice shifts where they used to be irritable and aggressive.

You become more Zen and now you understand why Yoga is so deeply tied to cleansing techniques!

Once the benefits of cleansing have become a reality, you‟ll never want to go back to the way you were.

The foods you once craved will no longer be a temptation.

Perhaps your tendency to drink alcohol in excess wanes after you begin to make the Easy 3 Day Detox a weekly or even daily habit.

You‟re finding a more sustainable and long-lasting forms of energy.

You will have also gained the aforementioned ability to decipher between feeling

healthy or unhealthy.

Fitness experts and doctors alike are recommending detoxification to battle

epidemic sleepiness and addiction to sugary sodas or energy quick-fixes.

Once you begin cleansing daily, you‟re going to find those days of dying for your

first cup of coffee a distant memory.

Instead of looking in the mirror every day thinking, “Wow, I need to exercise

more” you‟re going to enact change from the inside – out.

And we‟ve learned that your body is actually DYING to HELP you feel great,

look great, and be great!

Ancient Asian Detoxification Secrets

Reputable scientists and sociologists have long wondered why Asian cultures seem to live longer, healthier lives… and enjoy lower toxicity levels than Western cultures.

Since the early 1990‟s Japan and China have been recognized and hailed for low mortality rates and Ancient Medicinal Genius.

There are a plethora of reasons for this; namely the East‟s holistic approach to medicine.

Their view of health couples diet with exercise – not singling out one or the other.

The East’s detoxification prowess is also strongly linked to their relationship with water.

Rather than throwing back a six pack of beer, a two-liter of soda, or a pot of coffee, Asian cultures largely consume water or herbal tea as the drink of choice.

Water greatly fortifies the body‟s ability to detoxify through the dilution of toxins. Moreover, water helps digestion and serves to flush the body of toxins, sodium, and food.

They also consume more organic foods and less of the dangerous hormones and steroids that plague much of the American diet. A diet rich in fish and poultry also provides more antioxidants than a Western diet that is red-meat rich.

Finally, Asians walk and ride bicycles as the primary mode of transport. They continually release toxins through sweat as they go about their day on foot or on bike.

Part III

Cleanses to Avoid Like the Plague!

Cleansing Gone Wild

Call them unsustainable.

Call them scams.

Call them potentially harmful.

They‟re often unbearable – or as the French might aptly say, insupportable!

We call them Cleansing Gone Wild.

There is no short supply of new detox programs that try to sucker you in with slick wording and powerful images.

But you’re smarter than that.

The Easy 3-Day Detox is the beginning of a daily, sustainable healthy lifestyle…

NOT a quick fix achieved by taking a pill or unnatural concoction!

There IS NO ONE PILL that is going to solve all your problems.

Avoid taglines such as:

“Lose twenty pounds in a week!”

“Magic African tea that melts fat!”

“Endorsed by The Situation!”

Let‟s look specifically at the names and mechanics of some of these cleanses we want to avoid…

35

Cleanse to Avoid #1

Our first example of a cleanse to avoid is The Master Cleanse.

This is a classic example of a cleanse that achieved stardom because of, well, a starlet.

The Master Cleanse is a ten-day program that asks you to consume essentially maple syrup, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and water for every meal.

It also incorporates periodic salt water flushes to flush the colon.

All your required daily nutrients coming from one funky drink.

Some people go to extremes and drink these mixtures for up to 40 days.

In addition, The Master Cleanse requires you to drink water with high salt concentrations to induce diarrhea.

They package this up nicely by calling it the salt water flush portion of the cleanse.

This is actually a powerful temporary technique that‟s been used for thousands of years…

…but no matter how you package it, this isn‟t natural or sustainable for the long term.

In fact, done half-hazardly and the wrong way, such flushes rid our bodies of bionutrients and experts will tell you that such a flush will WIPE YOU OUT, not give you amazing energy, like the Easy 3-Day Detox will!

People may try this kind of extreme cleanse in hopes of losing weight.

Apparently Beyoncé tried this program and lost 20 lbs.

What wasn‟t publicized was that she gained back the weight in about two weeks when she stopped the cleanse.

Not only is this cleanse unnatural and unsustainable, but you are running the risk of really damaging your body.

Lemon in and of itself is very good for helping our bodies become more alkaline and less acidic.

36

It‟s also linked to benefits in digestion.

The problem with this cleanse and many others is that they aren‟t for everybody, and probably not for anybody.

You see, maple syrup is a high glycemic sweetener.

What if you‟re diabetic or hypoglycemic?

The Easy 3-Day Detox is designed for people in great shape AS WELL AS those who suffer with blood sugar issues.

Cayenne pepper, we‟re discovering, may not even have the benefits it once was touted to have as a metabolism stimulant.

In addition, if you suffer from arthritis, cayenne pepper contains alkaloid compounds that can cause inflammation you want to avoid.

Did you really think that drinking liters of maple syrup over a ten-day period is a GOOD thing for your blood sugar?

Neither did we.

Cleanse to Avoid #2

Maybe you hadn’t heard of Beyoncé‟s spicy lemonade diet, but you‟re definitely familiar with our Cleanse to Avoid Number Two.

This dietary fad involves the acai berry [ah-sigh-ee].

The acai berry is basically the blueberry of Brazil.

It‟s found naturally and is loaded with antioxidants.

However, companies capitalize on the concept of a wonderful natural berry and produce pills, supplements, and cleansing products with the acai berry as a selling feature.

The Acai Berry Cleanse is linked to dozens and dozens of diet and supplement scams online.

You’ve probably seen them!

37

They make outrageous promises, offer free trials, and guarantee you six pack abs or god-like detoxified bodies…

…Until you‟re billed unknowingly on the back end.

People are bamboozled day in and day out, and will be until the end of days, looking for the magic pill…the quick-fix.

The temptation that a colorful kit, one measly bottle, or a simple package offers is just too great to pass up.

But you pay in the end.

Learn how to detox for LIFE and you WON‟T BE SORRY!

Focus on your internal health and true cleanliness from all aspects of what you

consume and you‟ve found a sustainable cleanse that will give you the results

you‟re looking for, forever!

Supplements are nice, but there‟s no point in supplementing a toxic diet!

Besides, you can find all the vitamins and minerals that are touted in

supplements through natural, raw foods.

Cleanse to Avoid #3

Colon cleaners aren‟t just found in hilarious early American anecdotes from T.C.Boyle‟s A Road to Wellville.

They‟re becoming insanely popular within the fitness and wellness industry.

In fact, colon cleansing clinics are popping up everywhere.

People really do suffer from constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.

During the Easy 3 Day Detox you will find constipation lose its grip on your body and things will begin to regulate naturally through your body’s unique healing methods.

Nevertheless, somebody had to make money on cleansing as it relates to regularity!

38

Colon cleanses go hand in hand with the rest of these “Detox Duds”.

It‟s easy enough to get on the bandwagon when you‟re shown pictures of parasites inside your body! The stunt that companies are pulling here is to show you than once you use their cleanse, you‟re going to expel nasty goopy grossness that was (Shock!) plaguing your system.

We‟ll call this the Goopy Poop Cleanse.

The scam part is that these cleanses are alleged to contain the ingredients that makes you goopy.

In attempt to get you to use their detoxification products, companies will show you graphic images and tell you to expect a kind of goopy or string-like bowel movement.

The goal is to have you believe their product is cleaning out all this goop that has built up inside you.

People freak out and want to buy this cleanse – again and again!

Reliable industry-leading experts will attest to the fact that in working with thousands of clients over the years they‟ve never seen this…

… Or rather they‟ve never heard of a client experiencing this goopy grossness after a natural and healthy cleanse like the Easy 3-Day Detox.

While we‟re still unsure about what it is that these companies are putting into their supplements, it seems obvious they are adding something to their products to create this effect.

Even if they claim to be using natural ingredients, it does not necessarily mean it is a healthy practice.

Some companies will use different herbs and concoctions which will give your feces a black, tar-like look.

Others will use psyillium fiber, found in Metamucil, which has a gel-like function that accumulates toxins and helps to form stool.

In some cases these ingredients are helpful, but using other agents to produce a dramatic, excretory experience is not natural or helpful.

39

In reality, these supplements being used are most likely creating the effect inside

you rather than cleaning out the goop that was already there.

Call it what you will, just be sure to avoid cleanses that not only try to sell you

snake oil, but produce such oil within your body!

Cleanse to Avoid #4

They‟ve been called „laxative bulimics‟.

They‟re people who take laxatives compulsively because either they:

A) Have lost the ability to naturally expel waste from a myriad of unhealthy practices, potentially involving an eating disorder

B) Are obsessed with food leaving their bodies

Taking laxatives or doing salt water flushes to try and poop ten times a day isn‟t a sustainable, healthy way to reestablish proper digestive and intestinal function either.

This isn‟t to say that there‟s no place for a salt water flush as a part of a periodic cleansing program – the problem lies in becoming dependent on these measures in order to eliminate waste.

If you‟ve trained your body to rely on unnatural measures to perform the functions it has been designed to carry out on its own – these cleansing addictions are crippling your digestive system and your health.

It‟s like waking up desperate for coffee or oatmeal before you can enjoy a “productive” morning bathroom break.

This is because coffee is a diuretic.

It‟s also a laxative because it puts your colon into kind of spasms.

Over time you literally shut down your intestine‟s normal function.

You‟ve become dependent on stimulants and laxatives to evacuate what you can‟t move on your own.

40

We‟ve shown you how biologically you‟re designed to flush, function, detox, redistribute, etc.

So don‟t grab the wheel and tell your magnificent body that it doesn‟t know what it‟s doing!

It‟s like the recreational exercisers who wear weightlifting belts when they shouldn‟t.

They‟re telling their core muscles, “Hey, don‟t do any work! We‟ve got your back…”

This the same person blows out his back doing squats without the belt on.

It demonstrates a lack of respect for your body when you introduce unnatural measures to help it perform its natural functions.

It is like you are saying to your body, “You know what you are doing, but I‟m going to bring in extra help.”

In the end, you are taking away your own body‟s ability to cleanse and heal itself.

Cleanse to Avoid #5

Companies not only market cleanses that are full of empty promises and unhealthy practices, they are also trying to push system cleansing.

These include most commonly gallbladder, colon, and liver cleanses.

The claim is that you can focus on specific areas to cleanse.

While this is a clever marketing tool, sadly it is…

FALSE!!!

If you haven‟t gathered it by now, the truth is that all the systems of your body are interrelated.

It is impossible to isolate one organ or system to cleanse.

Remember the nursery-school song?

41

“The leg bone’s connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone’s connected to the hip bone, the hip bone’s connected to the tail bone…”

The same is true within your body: everything is working together and your overall body is influenced when one organ fails.

You may find a nutrient that is specifically beneficial for a particular organ or system, but if you try a specific cleanse for one system, everything else will be affected by it in some way.

However, if you‟re cleansing the liver – our main detoxification organ – you‟re essentially also cleansing the gallbladder, the intestines, the colon, etc.

Why would a company market the “LIVER CLEANSE”?

Well… because you‟re told that the booze and cigarettes and overall hedonistic lifestyle you live are slowly killing your liver!

So be it: you‟ve been living it up like a rock star and now you want to keep on living it up!

That‟s why this 3-Day Detox is your life-saver.

You don‟t want to constantly worry about walking your daughter down the aisle – you want to be there when your granddaughter gets married.

You don‟t want to experience the mortification of yellowed skin and saggy droopy features from years of alcohol abuse: you want to take back your body and earn the title of silver fox or panther or cougar or whatever animal you fancy being likened to in your later years.

Let‟s just get this one thing straight: stick to sustainable, whole-body cleanses.

Holistic, natural practices are always in style for a reason: they work.

So now let‟s kick it up a notch and explore your Easy 3-Day Detox…

42

Part IV

The Easy 3-Day Detox

Are You Ready to ROCK?!

The Easy 3-Day Detox won‟t make you that irritable person who can‟t bear to share a grill at the barbeque… and it doesn‟t mean that you have to sit at home juicing and avoiding social situations for 3 days.

Rather, the Easy 3-Day Detox is designed as a sort of toe-dip into a lifestyle of consistent cleansing.

You‟ve spent some time now learning about:

1. The Biological ramifications of toxins in your body

2. The different ways to avoid these toxins

3. The ways The Man is trying to make a pretty penny off of selling you toxin-free

And before you dive head-first into this lake… you‟re gonna want to test the water.

We all do.

It‟s not for us to judge how deeply rooted your addictions are… nor how toxic you may be – but you‟ll feel the difference SOON.

- Perhaps you‟ve been consuming beer like a frat boy since… college

- Perhaps you‟ve been eating for two… since your daughter was born twenty years ago

- Perhaps you‟ve been on a shoe-string budget and you never thought you could afford to venture outside of the $.99 Menu

NOW this is your test run!

43

We‟ve noticed that it‟s great for the average Joe or Jane to begin your Easy 3-Day Detox over the weekend.

You don‟t want to be suffering withdrawal from your comfort food or drink while stuffed like a sausage into nylons or slaving away over Excel spreadsheets...

To start, as your Easy 3-Day Detox Coach we‟re going to recommend you repeat the following phrases before that Cannonball your anxious to perform:

1. “I‟m merely taking my existing diet and tweaking it.”

2. “There are no radical changes that are going to turn my world, and my bank account, upside down.”

3. “I‟m eliminating foods that make me feel worse.”

4. “3 days isn‟t that long… It‟s only 3 seasons of 24!”

So without further ado -

Here are our Easy 3- Day Detox Strategies…

44

The Easy 3-Day Detox:

Step 1

To begin with we‟re going to ask you to eliminate some foods that your body does not respond to well.

And TRUST ME - you‟ll feel better quickly without these weighing you down.

For merely 3 days you must eliminate:

1. Grains & Soy (& Sweets too!)

In the next few chapters we‟ll explain all of these in greater detail but here‟s a look at the first food we‟re fasting for the Easy 3-Day Detox.

GRAINS.

In truth, there is no dietary need for carbs – despite the fact that you may or may not be in a generation that pressured you to carb load for energy and made it the foundation of the Food Pyramids of Old.

Can you even believe that we learned this?

Believe it or not, although there were ramblings about dietary guidelines since 1943 – this food Pyramid was just released in 1992.

45

It has since changed slightly since the above photo - but THIS image of pastas, cereals, and breads are still etched into the minds of many Americans trying to conceptualize a healthy diet for themselves and their families.

If you are a Westerner, try to envision just two restaurants aside from Asian-inspired fare that serve dishes with primarily vegetables and fruits.

It‟s tough, we know!

And for the record – much more expensive for the restaurant owner who ventures to provide a plate of asparagus for less than $7.00 a plate in favor of filling you up with carbs and grains.

Here‟s the problem: humans do not digest grains well at all.

In actuality, our bodies are not evolved enough to digest them.

What‟s crazy is that they‟re prevalent in almost EVERY food.

…And we‟re not talking about the pseudo-grains like quinoa and amaranth, but bad ones like flour and white bread.

YES – this means that cakes, cookies, donuts… these aren’t gonna fly during your detox.

The refined sugar and the grains in most sweets causes them to be not only DEVASTATING TO YOUR DIET, but they‟re essentially ANTI-NUTRITIONAL because they do nothing but harm to your body and distract your faculties from repairing and fortifying your system.

Aside from the obvious sweets, you‟re going to kick off your Easy 3-Day Detox by avoiding:

- Pastas

- Breads

- Cereals

- Orzo

- Couscous

- Rice

- Soy

46

First of all, grains (and soy) require processing in order to be fit for humans to consume.

Let‟s hone in on grains, though – which are more widely consumed by the larger population on an enormous level.

In truth, we didn‟t rely on grains for our food supply until agriculture become technologically advanced enough.

Grains are bad for:

1. Stomach – grains are surrounded by a kernel that can tear up your insides

2. Weight Maintenance – Grains are largely starch – which digests into maltose and isomaltose before becoming glucose.

**It is believed that when you take a slice of bread and ball it up you can consider this to be the measure of refined sugar you‟re consuming from that piece of bread.

3. Blood sugar – your pancreas is trying to process this glucose overload by producing insulin in order to process, or metabolize it… and the pancreas can‟t handle the over-influx of grains we eat.

Diseases that are linked to grains overload:

Insulin Resistance

Hypoglycemia

Type II Diabetes

Overloading our systems with this much sugar distracts the body from its other functions, thereby weakening your immune system.

Because you‟re eating these empty calories, or as we mentioned earlier, and „anti-nutritious food‟, the body uses up stores of vitamins and minerals just to metabolize your poor food choice.

Now you‟re adding:

Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies

…to the list!

47

Back to the barbeque scene now…

How many times have you or somebody you know made fun of the Exaggerators who won‟t let the chef use the same utensils on your burger as on their portabella mushroom?

…Or the ones who compulsively clean your grill before letting the spokes touch their vegan kabob?

What about the folks who bring their own food everywhere or won‟t eat out at restaurants claiming that there just isn‟t anything they‟re not allergic to?

You‟ve heard people mock those with so-called hang-ups such as:

Celiac disease

Gluten intolerance

Well DON‟T.

Grains contain allergens.

Why are there suddenly scores of people with food allergens that we never knew about two hundred years ago?

Simply put, we‟re eating foods that we haven‟t evolved enough to digest.

Right away you‟re going to notice that you lose some weight.

This is because grains hold on to water and have an inflammatory response in your body.

Have you been suffering from joint problems or arthritis?

Then get rid of foods that are causing inflammation in your body!

You‟re going to FEEL this positive change very soon after ridding your body of these foods that kind of queue up in the body and weigh you down.

48

The Easy 3-Day Detox:

Step 2

Wipe off that milk mustache and fast the Haagen-Dazs for a few days, please!

Removing dairy, and other animal products from your diet is equally as important as removing grains.

Some notable experts argue that we shouldn‟t be drinking another animal‟s milk to start…

Dairy products are the most acidic food that we can bring into our bodies.

If you understand the relationship between your body and pH levels – acidic environments are linked to aging, disease, and even death.

In fact, did you know that cancer has a REALLY hard time spreading in an alkaline environment?

This is why many cancer patients are turning to holistic nutritionists to squelch and even reverse their symptoms.

Dairy begets more toxins and thereby an environment more susceptible to disease.

It is also known to cause sinus or inflammatory issues, and inflammation in the body leads to disease at some point in your life.

In fact, inflammation is pretty much the common factor in all illnesses!

In addition, dairy is very mucus-producing in the body.

If you ever find yourself sounding a bit like Pee Wee Herman for days on end, you may be over doing it on the dairy.

Sinus problems often clear up easily when people fast dairy for a short while.

There‟s another animal product we‟re avoiding during this time – and that‟s meat, poultry, and fish.

One of the reasons that we‟re avoiding meat during this time is frankly because it‟s loaded with toxins.

49

Much of the fish we consume comes from countries that don‟t have strict guidelines for fishing.

This seafood often lives and breathes petrochemicals and other poisonous gases.

In addition, you probably are familiar with the fact that our livestock is fed a primarily corn diet to fatten them up.

This isn‟t the intention of the animal – who intends to live on grass and graze.

What‟s even scarier is that alongside corn we‟re throwing in protein supplements, antibiotics, and drugs such as growth hormone.

YES, this is horrifying.

In fact, some elementary schools are reporting young girls reaching puberty before the age of ten because of drugs such as these that are in milk or beef.

Men especially are notorious carnivores and especially those reading fitness magazines who are told that eating meat will help you build more muscle – something every guy would like more of, right?

Well, it‟s true that those who eat meat are likely to have higher testosterone levels…but only if approached the right way!

You see, today‟s meat from the local grocery is typically from cows that were supplemented with estrogen to prep them for the slaughterhouse in order to yield more meat (and net farmers more profits)

But this meat, when tested, showed up to 5 TIMES the amount of estrogen in the meat itself than meat from untreated cattle.

Did you get that?

5 TIMES THE ESTROGEN LEVELS IN OUR MEAT!

Here's what that means to you:

For WOMEN: Increased estrogen levels can lead to a higher risk of breast cancer and for teenage girls, earlier onset of puberty and even risky sexual behavior.

50

For MEN: Estrogen is the arch-enemy of testosterone and can lead to gynocomastia (aka - "man boobs"), reduced sex drive, and cause you to actually lose muscle tissue!

For the purposes of your cleanse, we need to tip the scales way back the other way which is why you‟re laying off of meat for a few days.

Therefore, to sum things up for the Easy 3-Day Detox we‟re going to avoid:

- Milk

- Yogurts

- Cheese

- Creams

- Butter

- Poultry

- Fish

- Meat

So remove these inflammatory and allergenic foods.

They‟re by and large ADDING toxins to your body anyway and it‟ll feel AMAZING to flush those out for a few days!

And finally…

51

The Easy 3-Day Detox:

Step 3

You‟re going to need to remove the most popular drug on the planet to your diet: Caffeine!

From the moment an unknowing relative or babysitter begins allowing toddlers to sip soda from their straws…

…until you‟re drinking Pepsi with breakfast!

We‟re inundated with caffeine drinks all day long.

Most people consume caffeine several times per day…

… or even all day!

However, in the third step of our Easy 3-Day Detox we want to CUT THE CAFFEINE.

This Cleanse is the beginning of a new life wherein you will gain:

4. Renewed energy and vitality

5. Decreased dependency on foreign stimulants due to your natural energy

6. Freedom from many of the common aches and ailments that plague your every day because of your addictions to foods, drinks, and the toxins therein!

Removing stimulants such as caffeine from your diet will help you to actually increase energy.

WAIT! What?

Look…

52

THE REASON THESE STEPS SOUND

PREPOSTEROUS

IS BECAUSE OF YOUR ADDICTION TO TOXIC FOOD

ENSLAVES YOU TO HARMFUL HABITS…

…AND A LOWER QUALITY OF LIFE!

For those of you who wake up craving that first pot of coffee…

… who set their coffee makers on intricate brew schedules

… who rush off to spend the first fruits of their labor on Caramel Macciato‟s

… or those of you who‟ve cranked the Starbucks addition up to owning their own their own espresso-brewing latté frothing cappuccino contraptions…

The first day or two without your caffeine is going to result in two things:

1. You‟re going to learn something about yourself.

2. You‟re going to learn something about yourself whilst dealing with caffeine withdrawal, headaches and irritability.

We’re just keeping it real!

There‟s no sense in sugar-coating an addiction withdrawal.

Thankfully, as long as you replace those lost liquids with water, your headaches will go and you‟ll be feeling a noticeable improvement in just a day or two.

Don‟t be DISCOURAGED by the withdrawal effects: going COLD TURKEY is one of the best ways you are able to learn just how much you rely on coffee, soda, even crackers, chips, or even rice cakes!

53

The Easy 3-Day Detox:

Overcoming Food Fixations

Obviously you‟re being asked to make a “change” with the way you normally eat, right?

No Skinny Vanilla Lattés, No Key Lime-Flavored Yogurt Cups, No Goldfish Crackers!?

Well, at least not during these three days and from there, you‟ll have to let your body tell you what it needs.

And once you‟re “cleaner” on the inside, your body will speak loud and clear about what your next steps are to finally become free from food supply toxins!

You‟ll find yourself naturally gravitating toward foods such as walnuts, avocados, and berries which are some of the most nutrient dense foods on earth – and they‟re rich, sweet, and filling to boot!

Even fresh, free-range, grass-fed, organic meats and wild-caught fish are more than welcome in moderation on a sustained balanced nutrition program…and you‟ll taste and feel the difference!

Now notice that we told you that your cravings for fast food would be a thing of the past following your Easy 3 Day Detox.

Well we actually WANT you to hit up a fast food joint after your cleanse!

I mean, just try to digest (pun intended) consuming a fast-food burger after trying your DETOX.

1. You‟re removing the bun… made with LOADS of refined sugar and grains you can‟t tolerate or even digest.

2. You‟re removing the cheese… dairy leads to inflammation, and promotes additional toxicity in your system.

3. And now the “best part” – do you really think you‟re going to miss Fast Food Grade Beef loaded with chemicals you can’t pronounce. Not after you enjoy the natural, sustainable, toxin-free trial you‟re about to embark on.

54

When you finish your Easy 3 Day Detox you‟ll find these foods to have a natural aversion now and just not feel “right”.

In short…you‟re not going to miss the Big Macs.

Here‟s another reason why the Easy 3-Day Detox is actually going to feel GREAT once you kick the fast food habit…

You feel lighter when you take out the mystery meats, grains and dairy products.

In fact, it‟s estimated that the equivalent of at least one entire meal will disappear from your regular eating day during this fast, despite the fact that you may be eating fruits and vegetables, nuts, and a variety of other delicious foods all day long!

So here‟s another challenge for you during your Easy 3 Day Detox: get friendly with your blender, juicer, or Vita Mixer.

You wouldn‟t believe how full a great fruit or vegetable smoothie will make you feel in the morning… until lunch!

Your body LIGHTS UP when you replace heavy, tiring, toxic foods with healthy, whole, or even raw foods.

My Personal Easy 3-Day Detox Morning Jumpstart!

Want to know a little trick that helps me get an amazing start to my 3-day detox!

It‟s all in how you begin your very first meal to send a signal to your body that it‟s in store for an amazing experience.

I call it my 3-Day Detox Morning Jumpstart and drink this blender drink first thing every day during my cleanse…

In a blender, combine the following ingredients:

1 ripe organic banana (Also, with a sharp knife, scrape the loose fibers on the inside of the banana peel. This is where a ton of the healthy bioflavonoids are hanging out that are never touched when just eating a banana the “normal” way!

1 ripe organic red apple – cut in quarters

1/8 inch small slice of fresh, peeled ginger – not powdered! Fresh!

1 large organic green pepper – I know what you‟re thinking…trust me…it tastes amazing in this drink!

Blend it all up smooth and pour it in a glass! You‟ll need a plastic spatula to get it all because it‟s thick, but you‟ll be addicted once you taste it and feel this fresh start to your day!

55

The Easy 3-Day Detox:

MIND CONTROL

You‟re fasting whole grains.

You‟re fasting dairy and other animal products.

You‟re fasting caffeine.

BUT YOU FEEL FREE, LIGHTER, and MORE AWAKE.

(Despite possible headaches from the caffeine withdrawal, of course!)

In fact, the only way we‟re able to beat these addictions to toxic foods and toxic lifestyles is because of the rewarding and compelling psychological effects.

Truly, you‟re going to find that unlike scams that promise you‟re going to expel more in order to help you FEEL better…

… Until you realize that all you feel is the perpetual urge to hit the loo with no other obvious “benefits”...

By treating your body to the foods that perpetuate LIFE, cell regeneration, cleanliness and mineral absorption you will FEEL AMAZING.

This isn‟t a mind trick or a caffeine high… you‟re in the zone.

The crux of the Easy 3 Day Detox is that your body knows how to do the work for you.

As you take the attention of your liver, your pancreas, and your GI Tract AWAY FROM:

Filtering through toxins that they can‟t rid you of fast enough

Fighting disease while being constantly inundated with inflammation-producing foods

Frustrating your faculties with fatigue because ALL YOUR ENERGY IS DEVOTED TO DIGESTING

56

… You will now have energy to spare!

Your Easy 3-Day Detox helps you feel great because you know:

You‟re replacing dangerous foods and drinks to cleanse and revitalize your system

You‟re replacing unnatural (and expensive) dependencies to drugs, such as caffeine for energy or laxatives in order expel, with natural food choices that will clear up your GI Tract and help your energy levels skyrocket.

You‟re seeing your skin clear up and you‟re meeting weight loss goals with ease

You feel momentum knowing that you‟re going to live a longer, healthier, happier life!

57

So What The Heck CAN I Eat?

If you‟re like many of my clients, you are at the point now as we‟re wrapping up

our discovery chapters where you‟re excited, hopeful, ambitious, and ready to

head to the grocery store!

But before you head out – let‟s clear a few things up.

Here are the top eight most common questions we received from our clients

who have used and enjoyed their Easy 3-Day Detox.

FAQ #1:

“How many calories should I eat

during the Easy 3-Day Detox?”

Don’t count calories during your detox.

You‟re eating delicious, natural foods that are hopefully free of chemicals and low

in sodium.

Eat all the fruit you want (they don‟t have points!) and you‟ll do nothing but

enhance your detox.

You‟ll know when you‟ve eaten enough and it‟ll be incredibly refreshing to be on

a „diet‟ that doesn‟t make you weigh, count, or fret about calories.

You‟re going to be digesting this food quickly and easily because of how close to

nature it originates.

Therefore, even if you do eat until you‟re really full – the feeling won‟t last as long

as a Sausage Pizza-Beer-&-Cupcake Binge or a Fast Food Fest– wherein you

overdo it and the feeling lasts for hours – even days!

Worry, instead, about finding peace with your decision to make the Easy 3-Day

Detox a part of your life – RELAXING is great for digestion!

58

If you‟re a numbers person – challenge yourself to chew your food twice as much

as you‟d normally be inclined – but DON‟T count calories!

This is an outstanding Detox Principle because it will even further assist good

digestion and give your body more space hunt down toxins and bid them out of

your system once and for all.

Focus on feeding your body what it craves and drinking a ton of water in between

meals to curb any cravings you do come across.

FAQ #2:

“Are beans okay during my Easy 3-Day Detox?”

Yes, eat ALL beans.

Kidney, Lima, Pinto, and Navy Beans are deemed the healthiest – full of protein

and natural minerals and –of course- fiber!

In addition, the red bean is a great antioxidant – much like another red food you‟ll

be eating a lot of during this time – the berry.

The generous fiber and protein that beans provide are outstanding for your detox

– and they‟ll help fill you up to boot!

One common misconception is that meat is the best way to get protein but it‟s a

dangerous lie that people are fed from a young age.

Animals are often pumped full of chemicals, hormones, and let to become

massively fat.

Whether or not you‟re cleansing, beans are a worthy substitution in your diet if

you are unable to afford or find grass-fed beef or free-range poultry fed an

organic diet.

Beans are extraordinary for heart health and for lowering cholesterol.

You can easily buy beans dry or canned and they are easy to prepare in a variety

of soups, baked dishes, salads, or by themselves.

59

Researchers at the University of Kentucky conducted a study indicating that one

cup of cooked beans per day can even lower a person‟s cholesterol by up to 10%

in only six weeks – and an average of 19% in men.

The risk of heart attack plummets by almost 40% for men who experience such a

drop in cholesterol.

FAQ #3

“Can I eat eggs during the Easy 3-Day Detox?”

Eggs are not okay during your Easy 3-Day Detox.

Eggs are wonderful – we love free range organic eggs – both whites AND yolks.

However, eggs are mucus-producing so we want to avoid them for this short

time.

We know you are attached… eggs are full of protein and the yolk is loaded with

nutrients… and when you‟re looking to eat healthy eggs sit heavy when you eat

them so you don‟t feel hungry just one hour after you eat them.

However, the reason we‟re avoiding animal protein in this detox is because you

want to consume foods that are easier to digest.

This would mean that milk, eggs, and meat are off limits.

The plant –based diet you‟re going to be eating will enhance much easier

digestion and overall healing in your body.

In addition, we have learned that “Organic” foods can sometimes contain

chemicals and pesticides.

Reasons for this range from the packaging they‟re in and other times it‟s due to

pesticides that are sprayed in nearby field.

In the same way “Organic” doesn‟t always live up to the standards you think

you‟re paying for, free range eggs aren‟t always as clean as we hope they would

be.

60

Sometimes free range chickens aren‟t really kept in the best conditions – which is

a downfall of mass production in the industry.

The best thing you can do for the purest poultry is to get local eggs that are from

local farms.

This way, the chickens get enough sunlight, air, space to exercise, and natural

foods to eat.

Laws that govern “Free Range” do not always mandate that poultry gets these

essential ingredients for a healthy chicken, a healthy egg, and a quality food on

your plate.

FAQ #4:

“Can I have whey protein during my

Easy 3-Day Detox?”

My sophisticated Smoothie and Juicing clients want to make sure that they can

continue with their protein shakes after working out.

Whey, however, is off limits during the detox period.

This is very shocking for many of us – who didn‟t realize that whey contains dairy

because, after all, it sits with dry storage unlike most other dairy products.

Remember the nursery rhyme about Little Miss Muffet?

(She sat on a tuffet eating curds and whey when along came a spider and sat

down beside her… and frightened Miss Muffet away!)

Don‟t be frightened of whey though.

Just know that during this short time we‟re going to avoid all dairy.

So what‟s wrong with whey for these three days?

Whey is actually the liquid that milk curds are embedded in when making cheese.

It‟s the stuff that gathers at the top of your cottage cheese.

61

Therefore why is indeed full of protein, but it is also mostly lactose.

In fact, people with lactose intolerance are forbidden to consume why in any

form.

Although it is possible to find whey protein that is isolated from the lactose

component, this is very difficult and it probably isn‟t in your supermarket tub of

whey protein.

FAQ #5:

“Is this a raw foods diet?”

We are not asking that you go completely „raw‟ for 3 days.

With that being said, it’s very cool to go completely raw for 3 days.

Our Detox program includes sautéed, baked, and grilled foods that are

permissible by our basic guidelines.

However, if you choose to go raw for these three days that‟s outstanding.

Foods that are consumed in their natural raw state are generally better for you.

They promote better digestion and they haven‟t been robbed of some of the

nutrients and enzymes that are stripped out of cooked foods.

Read more about this in the next few chapters!

FAQ #6

“Is flour okay during the Easy 3-Day Detox?”

We‟ve already discussed why you should get rid of bleached, white bread and

flour during your detox diet.

However, can you still use any flour during this period?

62

In a word…no.

You see, flour requires you to grind up a grain and refine it, thereby making it

void of its essential nutrients.

The seed that you get from nature is pure and good to consume.

However, the grains and flour that you are accustomed to have been overly-

processed and refined into a sort of faux food stripped of nutrients and fiber.

Therefore, we recommend that you avoid flour of any kind during this period.

In addition, gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye.

Gluten is very unnatural for our bodies to digest and found to be even poisonous

to those who suffer from gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

Gluten will essentially „clog‟ you up and is linked to the same paste that allows

your bread to get spongy as well as your wallpaper to stick to your walls…

If our Easy 3-Day Detox is meant to cleanse – why would you add this paste-

forming substance to an already over-worked GI Tract?

When you get rid of gluten in your diet for three days you may realize how much

your body actually rejects it.

Once you begin consuming gluten again you may find that in large quantity,

gluten perpetuates a lagging digestive process, a lack of energy due to your body

being so consumed with digestion, and even muscle fatigue.

We have stated in earlier chapters that our bodies don‟t digest whole grains well.

For the record, try to focus on foods during your Easy 3-Day Detox that promote

digestion in your body.

For you, it may be an apple or a green pepper… hone in on these great foods.

63

FAQ #7

“Can I eat granola during my Easy 3-Day Detox?”

No.

…. Okay, okay! We‟ll explain smarty pants!…

Granola is a veritable staple to the perceived “healthy lifestyle”.

It‟s the food that marathoners have stowed away in their backpacks and health-

conscious office mates munch on Granola Bars while others suck down fast food

McMuffins and Cream-Cheese Laden Bagels.

Health food stores line their aisles with granola bars and Kashi even touts their

new „No High Fructose Corn Syrup‟ brand in major super stores.

Beware!

Granola is typically whole grain – this isn’t going to help your detox at all!

Also, granola is typically smothered in oils, sugars, fats, and salt!

But since you are all too smart to take my direction without any substantial

evidence, I‟ll oblige you with the following:

- Granola „bars‟ are boxed, plastic or foil-wrapped foods made by big

food conglomerates who are known to „push the limits‟ so far as their

claims go regarding „fiber‟, „protein‟, and „sugar-free‟ by pumping tons

of sugary manmade chemical goop into their products. Shop the

aisles, instead.

- Rolled oats, rye, barley and rice are not okay in the Easy 3-Day Detox

but they‟re the main ingredients in granola – so please avoid!

- Granola bars are full of gluten. – if you want to make a gluten-free

granola bar try making your own with apples, almonds, dates, agave

syrum, and sweet or savory spices.

64

- Read the labels, friends. We‟ve equipped you to use discernment in

your foods and if you have to purchase packaged foods – be very wary

of ingredients you can‟t pronounce!

FAQ #8

“Are potatoes okay during the Easy 3-Day Detox?”

Yes!

But thanks to many skewed diet programs, potatoes have gained a bad rap.

However, potatoes have more potassium than bananas and one serving packs in enough Vitamin C to account for approximately 45% of your daily value.

Additional minerals, vitamins, and even fiber abound.

Your best bets for the healthiest form are sweet potatoes, yams, and red-skin potatoes.

And although I probably shouldn‟t have to tell you this…French fries are NOT considered “potatoes” in any healthy nutrition program.

Deep fried potatoes form a toxic substance called acrylamide.

However, if you boil or steam your potatoes, you limit this risk almost entirely.

In addition, if you prepare your potatoes without the fattening butters, creams, and oils that are typically added to this delectable detox-worthy food you‟ll be okay, as well.

Lastly – potatoes sometimes get sunburned! Avoid potatoes with greenish tints to them as this reflects that they have been in the sun too long.

This means they are prone to the chemical solanine – which is linked to increased arthritis pain!

So enjoy your spuds – but do it smartly

The Easy 3-Day Detox:

SNEAKY TRICK to Getting Vitamins FAST

If you‟re uncomfortable with stuffing your body full of bags of spinach, oodles of squash and pounds of peppers… then try satisfying your veggie and fruit servings through juicing.

This is an invaluable sneaky trick that helps you transition from the jug of chocolate milk or the bagel and cream cheese into a breakfast that helps your energy skyrocket from the get-go… and is sustainable for longer than it takes to get that first cup of morning coffee to your desk.

You‟ll notice that without the sugary carbs at breakfast you‟re going to avoid the 10 a.m. energy crash you‟re used to because of a diet that provides quick jolts that aren‟t sustainable for the whole day.

Start with a sweet juice that has carrots, spinach, celery and parsley, if you like.

You‟ll be THRILLED to learn how delicious a vitamin-rich juice tastes.

You can always add carrots, ginger root, lemon, apples, kale, banana, kiwi, and even fresh–squeezed orange (not the sugary goop from the supermarket) to really pack in the flavor.

Moreover, the mere psychological feeling of getting that many nutrients in one serving will make you feel so HOOKED on vitamin and mineral rich foods that you will soon realize that THIS is the magic health cure you‟ve been looking for... food as nature has provided it.

Juicing is also great because the vitamins and minerals get rapidly absorbed in your body.

When you wake up to a nice fruit and vegetable juice you kick the digestion and metabolism into high gear – and it tends to wake you up more than caffeine and lasts much longer without the crash.

Perhaps you‟ve already considered supplementation.

You‟ve even asked yourself:

66

“Why don’t we just spend the money to go see a naturopath to obtain simple, easy supplements with these vitamins and minerals?”

Really, there‟s nothing wrong with seeing a naturopath or a nutritionist.

The problem is that you‟re going to throw down:

a. Several hundred dollars on the consultation

b. Easily $700.00 in supplements

c. …And you haven’t even purchased healthy groceries yet!

You don‟t need to spend thousands of dollars to do a cleanse.

If you‟d spend the $700.00 on supplements from the health food stores on actual foods that are good for you it could last some people two whole months!

Ultimately, what you‟re doing with the Easy 3-Day Detox Diet is reinforcing what the body is naturally designed to do.

If your Detox Diet is basically taking the first two meals of your day and getting rid of them, for instance you aren‟t going to start the day with cereal and munch on a bagel at 10 a.m., you‟re going to really need to replace the carb habit or chocolate milk mornings with something satisfying.

This is another reason juicing is an awesome option for replacing your previous meals with detoxifying meals.

You can use the blender or food-processer you already have if you don‟t have a juicer, no problem.

Worried about your 10 a.m. energy-drop?

DON’T BE!

You‟ll find that juicing one apple, one banana, maybe a squeezed lime and two handfuls of spinach will beget an entire liter of green smoothie.

This will last you a couple of hours and will sustain you much better than a two minute McMuffin-load that leaves you crashing in minutes.

What you‟re also going to recognize here is that we‟re not REMOVING foods in order to effectively detox… we‟re SUBSTITUTING them.

67

This way you aren‟t going to feel the starvation or withdrawal that you might with other more restrictive cleanses and diets.

Experts who understand the psychology behind a successful diet plan will recognize this SUB-IN, SUB-OUT philosophy as a GREAT way to help you stay on track without feeling perpetually deprived, hungry, and restricted.

68

Taking the Easy 3-Day Detox

to the Next Level

Phase One:

So you‟ve cut your grains, dairy and stimulants for 3 days and you‟re ready to step it up.

Now we‟ll introduce a more intermediate cleanse – this is the phenomenal

program outlined at www.UltimateCleanseProgram.com.

Yuri Elkaim, co-creator of the Easy 3 Day Detox program, has coached

thousands of clients through his holistic cleansing program.

He shares some of the secrets from his Ultimate Cleanse Program in these

remaining few chapters.

He refers to this as a Level II Cleanse.

For those of you who have no problem removing the grains, dairy and stimulants

from your diet in the Easy 3-Day Detox, you‟ll have a much easier time

advancing your cleanse.

The next level of cleansing involves removing sweet fruit from your diet for at

least a two-week time period.

Fruit is a terrific food source and is never a bad source of nourishment.

However, some of the sweeter tropical fruits like pineapple, bananas, and

mangos are very high in sugar.

These fruits can reinforce our cravings for bad sugars.

Therefore, focus on the non-sweet or semi-sweet fruits such as apples, pears,

and berries.

These are still GREAT for you… without the spike in blood sugar levels.

It is important at this level to get people over their sugar cravings and it‟s VITAL

to your overall well-being to get away from foods containing processed sugars

altogether.

69

Phase Two:

The next level is to eat raw foods.

This isn‟t sushi or Carpaccio, per se.

… And it especially isn‟t eating raw chicken or pork!

Eating raw foods involves consuming fruits and vegetables in their raw states.

Avoid:

4. Steaming

5. Sautéing

6. … or heating the food above approximately 104 degrees.

For 90% of the population this involves more smoothies and salads in their diets.

For the hard-core raw foodies this includes raw foods pizzas, raw foods

lasagnas, and hundreds of versions of delicious raw foods soups.

Restaurants are literally popping up everywhere that tout foods with VITALITY

and ENERGY.

They‟re going beyond purees and crudités to offer courses in raw foods

cooking, rawism or living foods workshops.

Naturally your sweet potato isn‟t going to be digestible sliced on a salad… but in

a blender it‟ll make a phenomenal sweet soup!

Raw vegetables are jam packed with food enzymes that aid in the digestive

process. In addition, they possess a veritable life force in their raw state.

***

This life force found in raw vegetables is destroyed with the cooking

process…and so are the food enzymes!

***

70

Just take a look at the difference between these special images that can actually

view energy spectrums (shown here in purple) from cooked broccoli on the left

and raw organic broccoli on the right…

Steamed Broccoli Life Force Raw Organic Broccoli Life Force

Which would YOU rather have nourishing your body?

In fact, eating cooked vegetables is sometimes harder for your body to digest

than raw vegetables.

Improve your digestion, vitality, and overall well-being by incorporating more raw

foods into your diet.

Remember: your body leans towards being overly-acidic.

This is especially due to a diet heavy in grains, animal products, and processed

foods.

Acid in the body is related to disease.

Phase II is meant to bring your body into an alkaline state, which is the opposite

of acidic.

Incorporating more fruits and vegetables is going to alkalize our bodies.

The BEST foods for alkalization are Green Leafy Vegetables such as:

71

Broccoli

Spinach

Swiss Chard

The alkalinity purifies our bodies and helps you feel incredible.

When juicing, you can consume a ton of parsley, bunches of spinach, and other

foods that we don‟t generally consume in large quantities.

Greens, in fact, have more protein per gram than meat.

Where else do you find yourself using parsley, for instance?

Parsley is incredibly high in iron but you rarely see it outside of a garnish

You can make a non-wheat version of a Tabbouli salad using quinoa, or you can

pack tons of it into a juicer.

You‟ll find yourself much more easily feeding your body minerals such as iron

that it really needs because you‟ve begun juicing.

And it helps you stuff a whole lot more nutrients into one easy serving than were

you to eat them in a bowl or as a plate of crudités!

If you don‟t juice now, during phase two you‟re practically going to want to

consider remortgage your house for a good juicer because of how delicious raw

vegetable and fruit smoothies can be.

And if you‟re shedding pounds and experiencing skyrocketing energy levels –

you won‟t let much get in your way!

But what‟s most important to remember is that just as the Easy 3-Day Detox is

done easily in any corner of the earth without the aid of miracle pills and potions,

you can use a tiny little food processor OR an eight hundred dollar juicer!

72

Phase 3:

If there was a Survivor: Detox Challenge; you might be a contestant.

For those of you who already consume raw foods that aren’t smothered in Ranch

dressing and who‟ve already begun focusing on fruits and vegetables as your

primary food group: this next challenge is for you.

It’s the 28-Day Cleanse Phase.

You‟re probably juicing already.

Maybe you‟ve even begun eating more organic foods in order to limit your

consumption of chemicals and pesticides.

You‟ve perhaps toyed around with the idea of a colon cleanse.

The Third Phase of our Easy 3-Day Detox Kick-Up involves a 28-day

commitment that people often extend for months, years, or a lifetime!

Before beginning your 28-Day Cleanse, however, we recommend you consult a

holistic nutritionist.

This phase is also known as the Juicing Level or Smoothie Level wherein you‟re

basically going to consume juices and smoothies for the first 14-day period – this

is the cleanse phase.

After the Juicing Level you move into the Maintenance Phase, which is a time

when people move into a lifestyle of naturally whole foods.

A lot of great holistic nutritionists will actually map out the final 14 days for you so

that you can learn how to, well, maintain the Maintenance Phase.

The maintenance phase lasts for the remaining 14 days of the 28 day cleanse, or

Juicing Level.

The following diagram will help you visualize how it looks:

73

During the Juicing Level phase you should also try an intermittent fast throughout

the week where you consume nothing but water for an 18-24 hour period.

This is a really significant time for your body to heal itself, which is the foundation

upon which a lot of cleansing is based.

Fasting is enormously popular today for people who want to:

7. Detoxify their bodies

8. Accelerate fat-burning

9. Generate healing through your body‟s natural abilities

10. Achieve mental clarity

11. Improve their skin

To really take this the whole nine yards, some cleansing programs will take you

on a thirty-day water fast.

WARNING Extended water fasts are extreme and should only be done under supervision!

74

The point is that the upper echelons, either through the Juicing Level or via a full-

out Water Fast, provide the body with an environment conducive to working

without the interruption of indigestible foods or toxins.

Fasting will also help you learn about the psychological ways you‟re addicted to

food because people will notice that after the first skipped meal or two in a fast –

they‟re no longer hungry for days!

This is because of our psychological dependence on our next meal or a feeling of

security in a full belly.

As in fasting, so it is with the Easy 3-Day Detox.

The secret mechanism within you to Detoxify is this: Your Body is Always,

Always Detoxing so GIVE IT SPACE.

To reiterate…

Q. What is the ONE reason your body can not completely detoxify you from all

of the contaminants you drink, eat, smoke, breath and bathe in without this

Detox?

A. Because it‟s too busy in crisis mode, there are just too many toxins within you

for the body to keep up.

What the Easy 3-Day Detox does is to give your body a BREAK from elements

that take its focus off of cleansing.

Overwhelming our systems with indigestible and anti-alkaline diets takes the

attention away from our bodies natural healing and digestive powers.

Unless you understand WHERE the toxins are coming from, as we‟ve outlined in

this book, you‟ll NEVER be able to detox.

So, yes. Hollywood celebrities can pay $1 million for a consult with the world‟s

leading health and fitness gurus.

But there is NO potion or powder than can replace the mechanism that is within

you to detox.

The power to fight toxicity and disease IS within you… waiting to be unlocked.

75

“Stick-It-To-The-Man” Level

The 28-Day Cleanse, just like the Easy 3-Day Detox, is totally natural:

No gimmicks, schemes, or supplements required.

It involves giving your body center stage to control functions and promote healing

on its own terms.

This isn‟t about finding miracle pills or supplements.

Whereas the detox “marketers” have honed in on a:

Supplement-Based

Pill-based

Corporation-based…

... Cleansing Conglomerate…

The Easy 3-Day Detox program doesn‟t require any pills, supplementation, or hard-to-find formulas. The corporation says: You want to cleanse? Send a check, we’ll ship you the

pills.

In two weeks or a month‟s time you‟re back where you began.

In response to this, holistic nutritionists have decided to develop a cleanse that is

food-based.

Food-based cleanses are sustainable, and the ingredients aren‟t manufactured in

a far-off warehouse, but in almost any grocery store you walk into.

The Easy 3-Day Detox is a sustainable cleanse that can be utilized bi-annually,

bi-monthly, or as a daily lifestyle.

Some will choose to move into full-out veganism after reaping benefits from their

initial cleanse, which is perfectly okay, too.

76

Yuri Elkaim has worked with clients including professional athletes for years as a

highly sought-after and reputable holistic nutritionist.

He reports that 80% of his consulting clients continue the Maintenance Level for

a full 5 and 6 months after their initial 2-week Juicing Level.

One of the best parts about the Easy 3-Day Detox is looking back at your great

accomplishments and saying, in the end: Wow!

This is:

“Totally Sustainable”

“Totally Affordable”

“Totally Delicious”

“I’m never going back to ingesting toxic foods and feeling dreadful ever

again!”

That‟s the real goal of the Maintenance Phase is to set you off on a lifetime of

clean eating and healthy living…

***

A life of consistent detoxification isn’t about throwing away

your checkbook, your social life, and your valuable time into a diet program

you’ll never fully understand.

***

The Easy 3 Day Detox is a way to eat, a way to energize, and a way to more

fully ENJOY LIFE!
