Some Important Reminders

1. Do not take any additional antioxidants for one day before and at least two days after any treatment. This is will optimize your treatment and enhance the detoxification process.

2. Eat small amounts of food frequently (every couple of hours), rather fewer, larger meals. You may find your appetite is best in the morning so have a good breakfast.

3. Drink plenty of fluids (about 10-12 cups per day) use water, clear soups and juices.

4. Imagine your digestion is like that of a young child. You'll need small quantities at one time of easily digested foods. Small jars of weaning baby food may be helpful as ready-to-eat supplemental snack meals. Protein shakes are good too (see Energy Shakes recipe)

5. Micro waving or moist cooking fruits and vegetables improves digestibility.

6. If fruits upset your stomach, use juices instead - dilute 1:3 with water.

7. Experiment with different foods in small amounts - every one's digestion is unique. Some people find spicy foods helpful while others do not.

8. Please share any other ideas you have found helpful so I can pass them on.
