Purification Program - Day 10

Detox and Purification Program




DAY 10

Great job in making it through the first week and a half. If weight control is one of your goals for this program, be sure to not eat too much rice or sweet potatoes. Instead focus on salads and dark green vegetables.


Supplement Regimen: Day 10


2 Tbs. SP Complete Shakes: 1-3 shakes per day (2 Tbs. per shake)
5 SP Green Food Capsules: 2 times per day = 10 capsules per day
3 Gastro Fiber Capsules: 3 times per day = 9 capsules per day
1 Tbs. Whey Pro: 1-2 times per day in shakes/water (1 Tbs. per shake)

SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN WITH MEALS BUT THEY CAN BE TAKEN WITH A SHAKE. YOU MAY TAKE THEM 1 HOUR BEFORE A MEAL OR TWO HOURS AFTER A MEAL.


Recipe of the Day:

Beet and Orange Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette


1 Tbsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. balsamic vinegar

½ tsp. salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

4 medium beets, stems trimmed to 1 inch

1 large navel orange

8 large Boston lettuce leaves

1-2 Tbsp. diced red onion

¼ cup orange juice
Arrange beets in one layer in steamer. Cover tightly and set pot over high heat. When water boils, reduce heat and simmer beets 45 minutes. Transfer beets to plate and let cool just enough to handle. Cut tops and root tip off beets. With your fingers, pull and slide off beet skin. Cut each beet crosswise into 6 slices. Grate 2 teaspoons zest from orange and set aside. Cut off top and bottom of orange. Setting orange on one of its cut sides on your work surface, slice off peel in strips, letting knife follow the curve of the fruit. Cut orange crosswise into 8 slices.


To assemble, line 4 salad plates with lettuce. On each plate, arrange 6 beet slices and 2 orange slices on top of lettuce. Sprinkle each with one-fourth of onions.


For dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together orange and lemon juices, vinegar, salt and pepper until salt dissolves. Whisk in oil and add zest. Spoon dressing over the salad. Serve immediately.


Exercise:


Make sure you go walking at least 4 times per week for 30-45 minutes. Yoga is a great way to maintain your strength while detoxing your lungs at the same time. Strenuous exercise should be limited during the purification program.


Today’s Homework:


Learning why old issues sometimes resurface: Don't be surprised if old symptoms you haven't experienced in years begin to return during the program. They should be of short duration and are considered a beneficial sign that your body is purging toxins and repairing underlying issues with your health. Old injuries or conditions may resurface for anywhere from an hour to a day or more. This theory is known as Homotoxicology and was developed by a German medical doctor named Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg. If you would like to learn more about homotoxicology, we have assembled a short article for your reading.



In fact, one patient had an old knee injury swell up during day ten. The interesting point is that she broke it almost 30 years ago. There had been no swelling or problem of any kind noted in the 30 years since the original injury; however her body felt it necessary to bring heat, macrophages and other white blood cells in to perform long overdue repairs. The swelling went back down to normal after a couple days.


If you do experience any reoccurrence of past injuries or symptoms we'd love to hear about it!
