How to Do a Pineapple Fast for the Lungs

Over time, your lungs lose their elasticity, due to matter slowly accumulating in your lung pores. Pineapple is believed by some experts to help cleanse and tone these pores, as well as help expell intestinal worms through the enzyme bromelin. We recommend you read "How to Understand a Pineapple Fast" and consult your doctor before you begin this fast.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Frozen Castor Oil Capsules
• Crushed Pineapples
• Figs
• Ginger Teas
• Herbal Teas
• Pineapple Juices
• Pineapples
• Pumpkins Seeds
• Raw Almonds
• Laxatives Tea
• Figs

1. Eat fresh pineapples, as much as you desire, for 3 full days. This fast can be done for up to 10 days, but a minimum of three is neccesary to achieve any results.

2. Drink wormwood tea or ginger tea as well. You may also include figs, raw almonds, and whole pumpkin seeds in your diet. These foods are also believed to be beneficial lung foods, but should only be used moderately and in addition to, not as a replacement for, the pineapple.

3. Drink a laxative tea or eat frozen castor oil capsules on the morning and night of the third day, and each day you fast beyond that, to help eliminate waste. Try one capsule at first, and if that is not enough, try two.

4. Break your fast by eating oranges or lightly steamed carrots to prepare your body for heavier foods.

5. Wait at least 6 hours after eating oranges or carrots before moving onto some raw or steamed vegatables. You may return to your normal diet the next day, but try to avoid heavy, difficult-to-digest foods in the beginning.

Tips & Warnings

• The pineapple fast is excellent for anyone with any sort of intestinal worm, since the enzyme Bromelin, promenent in pineapple, destroys tapeworms and most other worms. It even destroys worm larvae, before they can hatch.
• Include some light yoga and breathing exercises during your fast. Think about your lungs healing during this fast.
• The astringent qualities of pineapple will loosen and clear mucus and toxins formed in the porous tissues of your lungs, allowing your lungs to better oxygenate your blood, and improving your entire well-being. Other astringent fruits work in a similar way, but in the tradition of this fast, pineapple is considered to be especially good for your lungs.
• Pregnant women and children should not fast.
• Consult your health care provider before going on this fast especially if you have diabetes, heart disease, ulcerative colitis, or epilepsy; if you are under 18 or underweight; or if you are on medication.

on 3/20/2009 This sounds pretty yummy, but like Roaring Cloud says, make sure you brush your teeth!And I have never heard of "lung pores". Your lung's respiratory membrane, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged is VERY thin - just 2 layers of epithelial tissue (one for the alveoli and one for the wall of the capillary), so no pores. But this doesn't mean it WON'T help your breathing and not much harm in trying if you follow the authors warnings.

on 5/18/2007 be sure to brush your teeth after you eat pineapple. Pineapple is acidic and and sugary; and will rot your teeth
