1. Abstain from all solid foods for the first 2 days of the fast and drink organic apple juice, warmed with cinnamon sticks in it. Also drink dandelion root and dried dandelion leaf tea, made by simmering the 2 ingredients in water for 20 minutes.
2. Drink both drinks, 2 hours apart, for a total of 7 drinks each day.
3. Follow this general schedule with your drinks: 8 a.m.: 1/2 cup warm apple juice with 1/2 cup dandelion tea, together; 10 a.m.: 2 cup plain apple juice with 1/2 cup water; 12 noon: 1 cup tea and 1 cup apple juice, together; 2 p.m.: 2 cup juice, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup fresh pressed beet juice; 4 p.m.: 2 cup apple juice, 1/2 cup water; 6 p.m.: 1 cup apple juice, 1 cup tea, together; 8 p.m.: 2 cup apple juice. Continue this schedule for 2 to 4 days.
4. Take an internal bath on the last day of your fast before you begin the final step. This is optional, but recommended.
5. Begin to end your fast about 3 hours before you go to sleep by completing the following procedure.
6. Soak a 12-inch square of cloth, cotton or wool flannel fabric is best, with castor oil, and prepare either a heating pad or a hot water bottle.
7. Drink 1/4 tsp. Epsom salt dissolved in 1/3 cup warm water to dilate your gall bladder and liver ducts in preparation for the olive oil cocktail. You can chew orange or lemon rind if the Epsom salt bothers you.
8. Drink a blended combination of 1/3 cup cold pressed olive oil, 1/4 cup cream, 1/3 cup hot apple juice and 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice.
9. Get into bed lying on your right side. Place the castor oil cloth, with the heating pad over it (use old towels to avoid a mess), over your liver and gall bladder area (on your right side, just under your rib cage). Leave it there for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
10. Remove the hot pack and castor oil cloth and drink the same Epsom salt drink that you drank earlier.
11. Rest easy. Drink some fresh-squeezed orange or lemon juice. And by the next day you should notice various sized pebbles in your eliminations, ranging in color from bright green to dark brown--gall stones formed by rancid fats in your diet.
12. Break your fast by avoiding fried foods, oils, and fats. Eat oranges, pineapple, grapefruit and berries in the morning; a leafy green for lunch; fresh soup, salad and steamed vegetables for dinner. Continue this general type of diet for a few days after your fast.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid heavy exercise during the fast. Light yoga, walking or gardening are excellent for stimulating your metabolism without straining your body.
• It is normal to experience some discomfort and nausea. Oranges are good for relieving this, however, be sure to chew it well and don't eat too much.
• It's best to do a colonic enema on the last day as it is the best way to completely eliminate this waste. You may want to schedule a visit with a hydro-therapist for this day.
• For people over 40 who have not had excellent eating habits, it will probably be necessary to repeat this fast each month for a few months to break loose all their gallstones.
• 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.
