Cleansing Overview

Cleansing Overview

This overview is based on the work and teachings of the late, Dr. Walter Crinnion ND¹.

In order to help your body begin to effectively deal with your present toxic load (and to prevent it from getting greater), the following guidelines need to be followed:

Avoid the toxic exposures most in your control – your diet and your home air:

1. Please avoid the 14 MOST toxic fruits and vegetables (peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce, potatoes, kale, berries) use organic varieties of these instead.
2. Freely eat all of the 12 LEAST toxic fruits and vegetables (onions, avocado, sweet corn, pineapples, mango, asparagus, sweet peas, kiwi fruit, bananas, cabbage, broccoli, papaya).
3. Do not eat any FARMED or ATLANTIC salmon – this is the most toxic food you can currently eat. If it just says “Salmon” it is Atlantic.
4. Freely eat ALASKAN salmon (available fresh only from June until October), canned and frozen Alaskan Salmon available year-round.
5. Avoid the fish with the highest mercury content (shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tuna, orange roughy, marlin, Chilean bass, lobster, halibut, and snapper).
6. Freely eat the fish with the lowest mercury content (Clam, Ocean perch, Alaskan salmon, tilapia, flounder, sole, and catfish).
7. All sugar – sugar reduces the ability of your liver to clear toxic compounds out of the bloodstream (in addition to all the other bad things it does for your body).
8. Begin to reduce the toxicity of the air inside your home:

1. Don’t wear shoes indoors.
2. Replace your furnace filters every 6 weeks with high-quality pleated filters (rated MERV 7-9).
3. Have dry-cleaning air out in the garage or car trunk for a week before bringing them into the house.
4. Do not smoke indoors.
5. Consider replacing your carpet with tile or stone flooring.
6. Use non-scented laundry detergent and bounce.
7. Consider getting an air purifier – the best is IQAir and Blue Air. Make sure you get one with enough CFM (cubic feet of air purified each minute) to clear the air in your bedroom at least once every 30 minutes.

Dietary things to do:

1. Consume broccoli and the other members of the brassica family daily. Broccoli has the highest amount of compounds in it that enhance your ability to clear toxins from your bloodstream. It also has compounds that prevent cancer and can balance estrogen metabolism. Raw or juiced has the highest activity.
2. Consume green tea daily.

Supplementation:

1. See the individualized plan created by your practitioner

Cleansing:

1. Begin doing colonic irrigations. This is the BEST way to reduce your total toxic burden. It works best if you do 5 colonics in the first two weeks. This will reduce your toxic load enough for you to notice the difference. You will then probably need at least 2 a week for a while in order to continue to improve in health.
2. Constitutional hydrotherapy or sauna – this treatment boosts the ability of your body to heal itself, and when done before the colonic irrigation increases the number of toxins that are dumped. Do one of these before each colonic.
