This next chapter is not for the faint-hearted — literally. This information is there for those who are ready to receive it. Sort of like extra credit, it is all about going the extra mile to cleanse and regenerate your body and spirit that much deeper. Consider it not necessarily required in order to achieve your health goals, but it could accelerate the timeline between now and the point in time where you have put your health problems behind you and you are now the New You — the point in time that you have completely or almost completely detoxified and regenerated yourself. My goal is to play a part in helping you get there.
Be warned though, that these higher-level approaches to wellness can also accelerate you to go through personal challenges, face down your demons earlier than expected, go through spiritual and/or existential quandaries, and experience healing crises as the body throws itself whole-heartedly and sometimes dramatically towards purging out negative past chemistry and old baggage.
If I were you, I would not take these on until you are truly feeling bold and ready to run towards the gunfire, as you fight the battle of getting yourself into ideal health and wellness.
There are five main higher-level cleanses that I have personally done and which I will cover here:
— Fruit-Only Cleanse / Fruit Fast
— Juice Only Cleanse / Juice Fast / Juice Feast
— Grapes-Only Cleanse / Grape Fast
— Lemonade Cleanse AKA ‘The Master Cleanse’
— Water Fasting
There are also other ones which could fall in the same category like celery juice or vegetable juice cleansing, watermelon-only cleansing, oranges-only cleansing, coconut water cleansing, and so on and so forth.
I have listed these out more or less going from the least intense to the most intense. Eating only fruit can be done and you can absolutely do it — the question is, for how long? Anybody can go one or two meals with just fruit. But can you go two days? Three, four, five days? This is an extremely powerful tool which can accelerate you at quantum levels in terms of cleansing and rebuilding.
Juice fasting or juice cleansing is a well-known phenomenon and extremely powerful as well. Again, it can be pulled off by most individuals who can still handle the intensity of the experience, although going for more than one or two days without solid food can be quite challenging for some.
Moving into things like grape fasting and lemonade cleansing, these can be even more intense due to the highly astringent nature of these fruits. This results in the puckering of the whole body, as negative acidic chemistry is pulled from deep in the tissues and cleansed out. This is a very intense experience. Also, as the body consumes less variety of foods (mono-eating) this can become a spiritual or even a psychedelic experience as you break into new levels of simplicity in consciousness. These two are definitely not for beginners.
Water fasting is very intense and ideally would be attempted by an individual who has already done very deep cleansing and detoxification on their body. Removal of all consumption of food can have a very intense effect on the body as all energy of the body is spared from digestive duties and can focus on healing and repair of its systems. This has been used for thousands of years as a manner of healing, often in combination with sunlight, grounding with the Earth, and bathing in mineral-rich waters — isn’t it amazing how nature provides rejuvenating tools which are so simple? Water fasting has been described by many including myself as a deeply spiritual experience, as the mind lets go of attachment to food after a couple of days and the consciousness is freed up to really expand and explore its full potential.
There are so many neat benefits to doing these higher level programs. Personally, I noticed that my body really went into extreme deep cleansing mode. It seemed to take things up a notch in terms of my body’s self-awareness and innate intelligence. Even after going back to eating regularly, I felt as though my metabolism and energy had shifted up a couple gears. These experiences were fun, adventurous, and were also psychedelic sensory experiences as good or better than most drugs I’ve tried. It also gave me lots of motivation and inspiration and a huge sense of confidence from possessing the discipline to complete each of these endeavors.
Actually, I had some profound revelations as I was completing a grapes-only cleanse and then a water fast, at the end of 2018. I did these during Thanksgiving and Christmas / New Years vacations.
As a side note, proper timing of these cleanses / fasts would be recommended. In other words, if you are in a position to have some kind of vacation or time off from work, I think that will make things easier on yourself, because simply mustering the energy to focus on the cleansing task at hand takes a lot of your energy, attention and focus. I did a total of nine days on grapes only, and five days of water fasting, about one month apart.
Sometime towards the end of my grapes-only cleanse, I experienced extreme clarity and vision about the direction of my life. I had tremendously clear visualization about the purpose of what I should be doing and the direction that I should follow over the next 5-10 years. I felt reconnected to dreams and goals of my own that I had internalized as a very young teenager, in essence connecting the past, present and future all together in an extremely powerful experience that is challenging to describe. I’ve never seen that clearly out into the future with such intense insight about my true path forward.
What’s amazing is that many of those things which I envisioned at that time have either come true or are unfolding at a rapid pace, here now 3 1/2 years later as I write these words in the summer of 2022. I am telling you — do not underestimate the power of these tools from nature, not just in terms of tissue regeneration and body cleansing, but also for your own introspection, understanding how to make certain decisions and creating clarity about what you should be doing.
The benefits are amazing — but the main challenge with these cleanses is simple: You won’t want to do them. Or, that you won’t be quite ready physically or mentally to handle them, which is fair and you should get yourself into a strong place first definitely at least in terms of from a physical detoxification standpoint.
It would be smart to definitely cleanse the body out using the cleanses described in the early chapters of Rapid Regeneration — intestinal, liver, parasite, and herbal cleansing — so that your body is already cleaned out at least through one round of eliminating acidity, toxicity, mucus, and wastes.
Specifically in reference to parasites and harmful organisms — if you haven’t used herbs to do a several-week-long soft kill program to eliminate parasitic infestations, and you were to attempt a higher-level cleanse or fast, your body and immune system may start targeting these populations and they could actually ‘dig in their heels’ and strengthen their positions which — trust me — can be very unpleasant. Don’t underestimate the natural intelligence of harmful organisms in their awareness of being targeted. Attempting to purge them without the help of herbs in my view is naive and you are essentially poking a hornets’ nest with nothing to spray them with. So definitely strongly consider doing the Big Three cleanses (intestinal, liver, parasite), definitely including a parasite / harmful organism first before attempting these higher level cleanses.
Also, it would be very helpful to transition first to a cleaner diet and cutting out a lot for the harmful and acidic-forming foods. Otherwise, your cravings for junk foods or animal products could get so intense that it could be completely overwhelming after you deprive your body of the foods it is used to having.
Lastly, I want to address the issue regarding discipline and courage, because it will require both in order to complete one of these cleanses for more than one or two days. Listen to me: You can do it. Don’t let past failures, low self-esteem, or negative things that your parents told you when you were young deter you from doing this. You’ve been endowed with a great ability to heal yourself and find the true answers that can unlock true youthfulness and wellness for you. If you just continue to reach for that divine guidance, you can undue any patterns of prior failures and self-doubts. Just give it a try, and you will be amazed at the inner strength that you will be filled with, seemingly from an outside source like providence, once you take that leap of faith. Even if you don’t think you can pull it off — you really can do it.
Doing so could fill you up not only with amazing alkaline chemistry and powerful changes to your body, but also can be very mentally strengthening. This can give you tremendous confidence, self-efficacy, and accomplishment, and also potentially unlock doorways to your own perception of your own self and how to create your ideal scene within this crazy life.
I wish you much strength, energy and focus, should you wish to attempt these and if you’re up for it. Someday I would love to hear from you about the experiences you had and how it helped you.
