How to Do a Kidney Cleansing Fast

Kidneys filter mercury, copper, DDT and arsenic-bound chemicals from your bloodstream. They are very sensitive to infections and do their job much better when functioning smoothly. The following diet is designed to keep your kidneys clean and able to perform their duties. See "Understand a Kidney Cleansing Fast" before you begin.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Mueslix
• Apple Juices
• Apples
• Brown Rices
• Celery
• Fresh Fruit
• Fresh Parsley
• Fruits And Vegetables (mazao)
• Vegetables
• Yogurt

1. Prepare for your fast by gathering all the items you will need and eating a light meal the day before.
2. Avoid the temptation to eat a large "last supper" before your fast. Cutting down on your meals a few days before you fast will signal your mind, stomach and appetite that less food is okay.
3. Fast for one day by drinking fresh organic apple juice diluted in half with filtered water. Drink as much as you desire whenever you are hungry.
4. Mix 1 cup of celery leaves and 1 cup parsley leaves with 1 1/2 quarts of pure distilled water, boil for 20 minutes and strain away the leaves. Simmer for 20 minutes. Drink three to four cups of this between your cups of juice.
5. Continue alternating these two drinks, along with the following diet, for the next 2 to 10 days.
6. Eat muesli or plain yogurt with fresh fruit for breakfast. Drink celery and parsley broth, apple juice or chamomile tea.
7. Eat raw or cooked vegetables for lunch. You may also eat salad with olive oil and lemon juice dressing, rice or barely soup, egg yolk, millet, baked potato, broiled fish or turkey. Continue breakfast drinks. Lunch should be your largest meal of the day, but don't stuff yourself.
8. Eat two or three items from the lunch menu for dinner. Eat lightly. You may also include some dark rye bread, vegetable soup or brown rice.
9. Give yourself an enema, or see a hydro-therapist, if possible, at the end of your fast to aid your colon in expelling the toxins that your body has released during the fast.
10. Break your fast by slowly adding in the other foods that constitute your normal diet.

Tips & Warnings

• Be careful not to overeat allowed foods. The food in this fast is designed to aid your kidney in rejuvenating itself.

• Avoid strenuous exercise during your fast. Light yoga, walking, gardening are all excellent means to stimulate your metabolism without straining your body. After the fast, however, it is extremely important that you begin a regular exercise routine.
• To maintain a healthy kidney, begin a regular exercise regime and avoid alcohol, red meat, smoked meats, canned fish and canned pork.
• We recommend that you consult your health-care practitioner before taking part in this or any fast.
• Pregnant women and children should not fast.
