Hi Mike:
I agree with Bob, here. I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from doing
a cleansing diet who could benefit from such a regime.
There is a problem for some eating foods that are too cooling; this
probably isn't you, however.
Rather than just approach the issue with fruits/veggies, I do recommend
a balanced meal, though... which isn't as difficult as it may seem.
Adding undenatured whey protein rather than eggs is a good idea, for
example. Also, rather than adding fish, consider balancing your fats.
I've seen unbelievable results with lipid replacement therapy. Lipid
replacement therapy will also take care of your willpower problems, as
the body works to get over carb addiction. Drinking copious amounts of
lemon water will also knock sugar cravings down, and make life a bit
more comfortable handling detox reactions... the lemon is a blood and
liver cleanser, as well as an alkalizing agent.
Lipid replacement therapy results in a vast reduction in appetite. As
the body literally ejects "bad fats" in favor of high quality fats,
toxins are also removed (stored in fat). The body's cleansing processes
become a priority, reducing appetite, almost like a herx reaction. The
reaction can be managed simply by adjusting the amount lipids taken (for
thiry days, I took lipids 3X daily... lost too much weight, had to
normalize intake).
Individuals who do things like 1+ tablespoonfuls of coconut oil are
doing lipid replacement therapy. Spend some time researching this issue
and I think you'll find it fascinating.
I started studying it because I was running into some neurological
problems. 30 days of lipid balancing and all of the problems were gone.
Fatty acid and amino acid based therapies can be amazing.
For my morning smoothy I use undenatured whey protein, almond milk, 1
tbs 4:1 ratio of organic sunflower oil and flax seed oil, and then my
choice of antioxidants (a bit of fruit).
You can easily adopt the above ideology to a veggie/fruit drink, keeping
in mind that it is a very good idea to get enough dietary protein and
fat in the morning... It takes fat to burn fat.
In my opinion, it might be a better strategy to develop a
health-supporting breakfast, a cleansing lunch (your veggie/fruit
cleansing drink), and a light dinner as a regular lifestyle, once your
done "fasting". Too many people yo-yo. The trick is to break the
body's addiction, and allow it to pass.

Juice fasts can be very beneficial for those who are overheating or
have too much fire or yang. Many people are like that which is why juice
fasting can be so beneficial. I would agree that cold, and empty yin
conditions would not benefit or might get worse. Certainly eating cold
food such as ice cream, smoothies, etc are never beneficial except in
those people who might temporarily benefit from eating cold and/or raw
food. Generally, eating a balance of raw/cooked food is good for
everyone. It is always important to chew your food well and eat
organically raised food as much as possible. Chewing “cooks” the food
before it goes down and enzymes in the food and saliva break it down
further. Where did you get your acupuncture training? I taught for 6
years at The New England School of Acupuncture.
Cheers.

Hi Mike,
I don't do juice fasts because when I was in Acupuncture school we saw
too many long term vegetarians and raw foodists with severe health
issues whose systems had to be trained to digest other foods again.
Digestion is basically a fermentation process. That means that when we
eat our bodies must bring the temperature (physical and thermodynamic)
of the food to the temperature of the body in order to ferment/digest
it. If the food is physically or thermodynamically cold it must be
warmed and that takes energy. Over time the digestive system becomes
impacted and functions less efficiently and health issues ensue.
Very simplified to be sure but still true.

*Subject:* CS>Juice fasts...
Hi folks,
Seeing as how quiet things have been for several days, I'd like to toss
a subject into the ring...
Anybody got experience or observed others doing juice fasts or other
variants on a mostly to all raw veggie, nut, fruit diet, with perhaps
just a little dairy/eggs/fish thrown in? I'm talking on the order of 80%
raw or more?
What's the longest pure juice fast you've done or seen?
Areas I'm most interested in are how they handled willpower issues,
getting along with immediate family, excellent resources, and I don't
know what else?
There's a documentary called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" on Hulu that
offers some good inspiration. Any other media, books, websites?
What sort of results have you seen and what kind of conditions have
shown improvement... or not?
Thanks!
Be well,
Mike D.
