I am in a place where juice cleanses are more common than McDonald's and was wondering if anyone has had a positive or negative effect from a 3 day cleanse. Many folks say that it is good to get your system more alkaline but if you have the CBS gene mutation, you are usually alkaline, so that is not my goal. My main concern is that I am currently on the Cowden protocol as well as oral chelation for metals and don't want to flood my body with TOO many toxins all at once. Is that a possibility? On the other hand, if I can get more of these nasty critters out of my system, I am all for that.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

By a juice cleanse, you mean drinking only juice? Honestly, I'd be concerned about the sugar content of that. It may make you feel worse because of the sugar content.

Thank you. I am checking with my doctor before I proceed with this, but I think there is very little fruit in these juices. The only one I see is some green apple.

Can you tell us what kind of juice it is then?

If you have any adrenal issues, I know that it's really hard on them to do any kind of fasting.

And yes, it's possible to flood your body with too many toxins. That's why we advocate for as much detoxing as the person can do basically.


And rather than doing a fast, which may or may not affect the kind of toxins you are talking about, why not do a targeted detox instead? Figure out what it is you are most concerned about (metals? Use cilantro and chlorella) and then find out what moves those things out of the body best. It will be easier overall on your body that way.

Can I put a link to the company on line or is that not appropriate?

That's fine, as we are discussing this, you aren't advertising it to boost sales.

Ohhh! I see, it's veggie juice! It would depend on which one you chose, but that would be up to you. Check to be sure that the ingredients will actually do what you want them to do is all. For example, I know that you need both cilantro and chlorella to get the metals out of your body rather than just having them move from one place to another inside the body.

Oh, and if you decide to do it, please let us know what you think!

I did a 4 day juice fast last spring. I actually had to detox a lot in the sauna for a week or two afterwards.

My theory is that these types of fasts where you consume little fat or protein allow your body to clean up a lot of the infected zombie cells and possibly also break down biofilm. So I feel it helped push me through a plateau in treatment.

Depending on where you're at it could be useful, but in some phases where your immune system is already working hard and you're detoxing alot I think fasting might be overkill.

The price you will pay for that cleanse, you might want to just invest in a juicer. Then you can make juice for a very long time and you control the ingredients.

I appreciate the feedback. I think that I am leaning towards not rocking the boat at this juncture in my treatment. I am on the 29th day of the Cowden Protocol, and want to monitor the results closely. If I start this juice cleanse, it might throw things off. Perhaps once I am finished with the protocol, and the DSMA treatment, I can then do a cleanse. I guess I want to feel as though I can do things that I have always felt I could again, but my biggest challenge is to take this slowly and carefully. Neither one of those two adjectives are in my DNA.
