8 Day Juice Fast Extremely Successful & Rewarding!
I have just completed an 8-day juice fast and I feel absolutely fantastic! I'd like to share with you how my fast went and what was accomplished.
My main reasons for doing this fast were to clean out my colon, detoxify my body, give my body a chance to rest and rebuild itself, rejuvenation, a marriage breakthrough, and a spiritual breakthrough. I know, that's a lot of purposes to have when going on a juice fast, but these were the needs in my life that needed a breakthrough.
"The single most powerful tool I have seen for optimum health and rejuvenation is the JUICE FAST!" - Dr. Otto Burchinger, M.D.
We all need to come to the realization and experience that regular, periodic juice fasting is one of the essential keys to good nutrition and to eating healthy.
I'd like to share the details of my current juice fast with you to show you what's it's like and what you need to remember to do in order to be successful in your juice fasting.
My last meal was a healthy dinner on Saturday, January 26th.
Day 1 - Sunday, Jan. 27 - 175 pounds. Drank juices & water. Morning & evening enemas.
Day 2 - Monday, Jan. 28 - 173 pounds. Drank juices & water, with morning & evening enemas.
Day 3 - Tues, Jan 29 - 170 pounds. Drank juices & water, with morning & evening enemas.
Day 4 - Wed, Jan 30 - 168 pounds. Drank juices & water. Morning & evening enemas.
Day 5 - Thurs, Jan 31 - 168 pounds. Same as above...
Day 6 - Frid, Feb 1 - 167 pounds. Same as above...
Day 7 - Sat. Feb 2 - 165 pounds. Drank juices & water. Only morning enema.
Day 8 - Sun. Feb 3 - 163 pounds. Drank juices & water. Only morning enema.
Broke the fast Sunday evening at 5:30 pm with a raw apple and some cinnamon.
I was able to work a full 50 hour work week without any problem. I had plenty of energy and my mind was very clear. On the 7th day, I actually helped my sister-in-law move all day, which included a lot of heavy lifting. Surprisingly, I had plenty of energy to do it without any problem.
With all the enemas I did, my body was able to detoxify and cleanse itself of a lot of putrid crud that had been built up in my colon over the last several years. At times it was scary to see how much awful stuff I had stuck up in me that only came out as a direct result of the juice fast, the colon cleansing herbs and ingredients that I took, and the two daily enemas.
On day 5, I had the most disgusting crud come out of me, and it reminded me exactly of some photos I had seen on some colon cleansing websites of long putrid crud that other people have been able to purge their bodies of through juice fasting and colon cleansing. So...I, too, took a picture of it to remind myself of the power of a juice fast to cleanse the colon. If you're squeamish, don't look at the photo. For those of you who get grossed out easily, I'll post the photo at the bottom of the email so that you don't have to see it.
By day 8, my morning enema revealed no more solid poop in me, so I felt like it was time to end the fast. I'm still amazed at how much horrid stuff came out of me through 8 days of juice fasting and taking enemas twice a day. It's rather shocking and disgusting!
By the time I broke the fast tonight at the end of the 8th day, I had lost 12 pounds! I look a whole lot thinner and my friends and family have commented on it. More importantly, I feel a whole lot cleaner and healthier, my body feels like it experienced quite a bit of detoxification, I feel rejuvenated and energetic, I experienced a breakthrough in my marriage, and I feel like I've had a real spiritual breakthrough.
Was it worth it? Oh YES!
Was it hard? Not really. It was actually a lot easier than I expected, and it was a whole lot easier than doing a water only fast. After about the 6th day, I did start missing food when I was around it, and everything in my wife's kitchen looked and smelled great.
Will I do it again? YES, of course! I'll continue fasting one day a week for general upkeep of my colon, but I'll also plan on doing an extended juice fast at least two or three times a year.
I strongly recommend that you get yourself a good enema kit, some of Uri International's live whole food based InstaFresh juice powder mixes, and plan your first juice fast some time in the next three weeks.
Remember these important parts of JUICE FASTING:
1. Drink only fresh homemade juices, spring water, homemade vegetable broth, and any combination of the live whole food based InstaFresh super juice powdered drink mixes by Uri such as The Feast, Beyond Berries, Barley Pure, Sweet Careet, etc.
I drank a smoothie every morning made from the following ingredients: 2 scoops of The Feast & 1 scoop of Barley Pure by Uri, half a raw lemon, cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, Himalayan salt water, 2 tablespoons freshly ground flaxseed, 1 scoop of Multi Clean Colon Support by Uri, 1 scoop of psyllium husk seeds, 1 tablespoon of raw honey. In the afternoon and in the evening, I've been drinking a serving of the live whole food based InstaFresh super juice powdered drink, the Feast and Beyond Berries, by Uri.
2. Add some kind of colon cleaning support to your drinks once a day. In my case, I used "Multi Clean Colon Support" by Uri International. I also added two droppers of Fresh Green Black Walnut Wormwood Complex to my morning and evening smoothies.
3. Do a morning and evening enema with lukewarm water. You can find directions on how to do this on my blog. This is a critical step to make sure you do because it helps to get the old feces and toxic material out of your colon while you're on your fast. You'll need a simple $15 enema kit to do this yourself.
4. Do a morning and evening dry brush massage. This is simply a rough brush that you brush all over your body to rub off dead skin and to help remove the toxins that are being expelled through your skin. A dry brush massage is quite an invigorating experience and very healthy for you.
5. Do some kind of moderate daily exercise such as walking for 30-60 minutes. I strongly encourage you to go for a long walk in the morning and again in the late afternoon or early evening.
6. Stay away from the kitchen unless you're preparing your smoothie or juice or vegetable broth. You don't want to hang around food or people eating food which may prove to be a temptation.
7. Get plenty of rest every night and try to go to bed early.
8. Keep doing your normal work routine, and you'll be surprised that you'll have a lot of energy as your fast progresses.

Power Smoothie Recipe - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy
Daily Quote: "Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God." - Rick Warren
Today is my 48th birthday, and I'm so grateful to God to be alive and healthy! I included the above quote because it relates to my birthday and my very existence, and to yours too.
Since it's my birthday, I'm going to keep today's blog about keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy very short. Hope you don't mind a little brevity from time to time.
MY DAILY SUPER NUTRITIOUS MORNING SMOOTHIE
I'd like to share the recipe I use to create my super nutritious morning smoothie every day. It's loaded with powerful nutrients that give my body a real boost of energy, and it's got things in it that assist my body in cleansing and eliminating the wastes from the day before. And best of all, it actually tastes great too! In fact, my 2-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter both demand their own servings.
Put all of the following into a blender:
- about 16 ounces of natural spring water
- half a cup of frozen organic strawberries and/or blueberries
- 2 scoops of "The Feast" (my favorite whole food supplement juice powder, which is loaded with over 70+ fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, spouts, enzymes, organic minerals, and resilient living probiotics). The Feast is made by Uri International.
- 1 scoop of barley grass juice powder (I use "Barley Pure" made by Uri)
- 1 scoop of "Beyond Berries" (which is loaded with 15 antioxidant-rich berries & fruit, including Noni fruit, Mangosteen, Wolfberry-Goji, Acai berry, black currant, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon of Himalayan Krystal Salt saline solution
- 1/2 fresh lemon (aids in cleansing & elimination)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 scoop "Food 'N Fiber" (whole food fiber by Uri)
- 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin coconut oil ("Coconut Pure" by Uri)
- 1 good shake of Cayenne pepper (aids in cleansing & elimination)
Put all of these ingredients into a blender and let her rip. I would recommend blending everything except the banana first, and then at the very end, throw in the banana and blend it on low. This way the banana helps to thicken the smoothie.
It takes me about 4 or 5 minutes every morning to make this delicious smoothie, and my body is so happy to get such a powerful nutritious morning boost. Now I actually crave my morning smoothie and "The Feast" that's a part of it. It is so nutrient dense and loaded with whole food nutrition that it has become my daily breakfast and keeps me full until lunch. Enjoy!

Keys to Healthy Eating Habits & Good Nutrition: Matching 3 Food Groups with 3 Meal Times
A few days ago we discussed good nutrition and the three key food groups that should make up your daily nutritional diet. Today I would like to teach you how to develop healthy eating habits around those three food groups in relation to what time of the day is best for each group. One specific food group should supply the majority of each of your three main meals.
Breakfast - Fresh Fruit (Food Group #3) Your daily breakfast should be made up of fruits. As mentioned earlier, fruits must always be eaten alone on an empty stomach. So, why eat fruits first in the day? The reason is because mornings are when your body is in the process of cleansing itself through the process of elimination. While you are sleeping at night, from 11 pm to 5 am, your digestive, assimilative, and restorative systems are hard at work processing the food you ate from the previous 12-14 hours. Your eliminative system, however, is resting. Then, during the morning hours of 5 am to 11 am, your body kicks in to elimination mode and starts cleansing itself of impurities and toxins through your eliminative organs via your skin, lungs, kidneys, and alimentary canal. Eating a large breakfast early in the morning disrupts this cleansing and elimination process. In order to assist and work with your body to help in its cleansing and elimination process, in the early morning your body needs lots of fresh air, lots of natural spring water, and vigorous exercise or physical work. Then, and only then, is your body ready for a breakfast of fresh juicy fruits.
Follow the advice of legendary health writer and life extension specialist, Paul Bragg, who said, "You must earn your breakfast." Think back 100 years ago to the American farmers who rose early and immediately went out to do their heavy chores (feeding the animals, milking the cows, working in the garden, preparing food) BEFORE they sat down to eat their breakfast. It is simply not healthy to eat a large protein-rich breakfast right after waking up in the morning. Give your body time in the morning to cleanse itself while you exercise or work for a while BEFORE you feed it from the fruit food group. I have personally practiced this principle for many years and have found that doing so keeps me "regular" and assists in the daily morning elimination process. I strongly encourage you to follow this sound scientific advice and start working with your body.
Lunch - Grains, Beans, Seeds, & Nuts (Food Group #1) Your biggest meal should be eaten at lunch, and it should consist of grains, beans, seeds, and nuts. By way of reminder, this is the most important and potent health-building food group of all. Grains and legumes in the form of cooked porridge or cereal, or bean, pea, or lentil soup, are best eaten during lunch. You can combine a few fresh vegetables with your cereal meal at lunch. For example, rice can be combined with vegetables.
Dinner - Fresh Vegetables (Food Group #2) The bulk of your dinner should consist of fresh vegetables (raw and lightly cooked). Always eat a large raw vegetable salad during dinner. You can also add potatoes, yams, squash, or any of your favorite raw or steamed vegetables, stews, soups, or other dishes. Keep in mind that you can combine a few things from food group #1 with this meal such as bread, beans, rice, or corn in moderation. However, the major portion of dinner should always be vegetables.
