Our system goes through a cleansing process from twelve midnight until twelve noon and a re-building process from twelve noon to twelve midnight. Supporting the natural cleansing and rebuilding cycle of the body mind makes sense. We have all been programed to over consume. Propaganda and the educational information supplied by big corporations with money making agendas have spent millions teaching what the body needs to be healthy yet the sick management system is thriving. If we focus on what elements the cells need to duplicate healthier with every 24-hour duplication we save: time, money, and the natural resources while we gain our health.

Breakfast choices that support the natural cleansing process: saline: 1 tsp. DeSoza’s Solar Salts or the Himalayan salts mixed in 32 oz. of purified water, or pure water with ORMUS drops, Stanly Burrows Master Cleanse fresh lemonade would be great, fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, maybe a cup of fresh peppermint tea or any of the organic herbal cleansing teas. If you can’t wait till after noon to eat something then a small amount of fruit or a small vegetable or fruit salad may be eaten. All types of berries are excellent.

Blood type Bs seem to have the hardest time without animal protein in the morning when first starting a cleanse; a detox. Take your time and remember that the human organism is a living, learning, self-renewing, slowly adapting organism. Any change is a big change so take it slow and be gentle. If you are supplying the body/mind with 60 minerals, 12 vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and essential fatty acids you will gain health. All of these valuable nutrients mentioned are provided when you sprout, drink the saline and add coconut oil. The cleanse and renew process does not have to be time consuming or expensive. When you cut out the poisons you will gain your health even faster.

Lunch: 1:00 p.m. or later: soup or a homemade, raw vegetable salad. 

Dinner: Simple preparation- refer to any of the raw food recipes.

Simple is best. The idea that we require variety at every meal to have health is false. The digestive system prefers a very simple meal with few variations. Look at this suggestion as a gain instead of a loss. You set yourself up for failure the second you feel deprived. Food for fuel value should be the focus and meals that take time to prepare and are costly do not supply the highest value in nutrients so they are not worth it. Stick to simple, fresh, live meals 80% of the time. Different types of foods require a different amount of time in the stomach and different enzymes to properly digest for assimilation. Too many combinations often cause a variety of digestive disturbances.

Because proteins, fats, carbohydrates and starches each require a different enzyme and pH range for their complete digestion, it makes sense to eat foods separately. Each specific enzyme works most efficiently alone. If all the digestion enzymes are triggered to work at the same time, the digestion process slows down significantly and the food rots. Sometimes digestion is totally suspended when the enzymes dilute and cancel each other or, the enzymes that digest carbohydrates can be destroyed by the acid pH of enzymes that digest proteins. 

For example, eating a piece of watermelon after a barbeque dinner consisting of animal protein means that the watermelon ferments in the stomach waiting for the protein to be broken down into small enough units to pass through. The fruit juices, which are simple sugars, sit in a 98.6-degree oven for up to eight hours or longer and ferment. Think of what happens when you pop the cork off a champagne bottle. The gas from the fermentation forces it to explode. This gas is being produced in your stomach.

RULES OF COMBINING

• Eat fruit alone on an empty stomach. Wait about one hour before eating anything else. Wait one hour to eat anything after drinking fruit juice.
• Eat melons on an empty stomach, alone, separate from other fruits and different varieties of melons. (Melons mold very quickly so smell them before you eat them).
• Divide fruit into three categories: acid, semi-acid and sweet. Do not combine acid fruits with sweet fruits. Semi-acid can be combined with sweet or acid fruits.
• Divide all foods into Starches/Proteins/Vegetables/Oils & Fats/Acid Fruits/Semi-Acid Fruits/Sweet Fruits/Melons.
• Combine starches with vegetables with a limited amount of fats/oils.
• Combine proteins with vegetables with a limited amount of fats/oils.
• Drink liquids at least 15 minutes before you eat, or wait an hour after you eat.
• Fats and oils dilute and slow down digestion. 
• Eat real live fresh food, not manufactured foods such as margarine. 

There are many more details and rules of combining foods that are not explained here because they are very lengthy and difficult for most people to follow, but if you follow these simple rules you will be in compliance with all the laws of the mouth, stomach, pyloric valve release, small intestine, eleo cecal valve, large intestine, the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, water soluble vitamins, water absorption, the necessary bacteria, the filtering of toxins, as well as the timing of the excretion of specific hormones and enzymes. So give it a whirl and see what happens?
