Most of us are familiar with the lymph nodes located in the armpits and the groin, and we may also be aware that swelling of the nodes is a danger signal, bu the average person might not be aware of the importance of regularly detoxing their lymph system. We know that most of our body is made up of water. Part of the water is in the bloodstream, but we have way more fluid in the lymphatic system. Our cells are actually bathed in lymph fluid.

Probably not a book title we will be seeing any time soon. Nor are we likely to see “Reversing Heart Disease with Grass-Fed Pork and Chicken”, or “The Proven Diabetes Cure: How High Fat Meat Based Diets Can Heal Your Type 2 Diabetes.” Yet, we do have many books on how plant based diets have PROVEN to heal cancer, reverse serious heart damage, and permanently heal Type 2 diabetes.

Do you know what the single most important molecule you need to stay healthy, support your liver, help prevent aging, cancer, heart disease and dementia is? Glutathione. Glutathione is the most important detoxifying agent in the body, as it allows your body to get rid of undesirable toxins and pollutants. In fact, glutathione is one of the few antioxidant molecules known to neutralize mercury. Both your liver and kidneys contain high levels of glutathione, as they have the highest exposure to toxins on a daily basis.

Fasting is a process that has been practiced for thousands of years (perhaps even longer). More recently, all three Fathers of Western Medicine, Hippocrates, Galen and Paraclesus (who concluded, nearly 500 years ago, that: “Fasting is the greatest remedy, the physician within”) practiced and prescribed prolonged fasting.

I have conducted countless fasts in large groups, small groups, in person and online. In my last in person group fast of 20 people, a total of over 300 pounds was lost over 21 days by the group. On a proper balanced juice fast with detox protocol, people will experience different amounts of weight loss.

One of the most frequent questions I get is “What is the difference between juicing and blending?” Some people are uncertain if these methods are the same, or if one is different from the other. Juicing and blending are actually completely different and I believe both can have a role in a living foods diet. However, in terms of nutrient power and efficiency, juices win hands down.
