I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a cleanse. I’ve been on a whirlwind schedule for the past couple of months and with all the pressures of travel, lecturing, and exhibiting, attention to my body’s needs has been less than optimal.

Sure, I keep a very clean diet, even when I travel. But I’m subject to the same challenges as anyone. Traveling, conventions and conferences, family gatherings, holiday meals,…all these present temptations outside my regular diet. My level of discipline with matters of food and health is pretty high, but I’m not a machine. Every day I’m presented with dozens of food decisions and I don’t get them all right…not every one everyday.

Here’s an example.
Recently, I spent all day at a regional Vegetarian Festival. You would think that the food there would be pretty good. I started traveling there at 7am and I returned home at 7pm. During that time, I was either on the job talking to hundreds of people or in my car traveling. If you’re hungry at conventions, you either eat what you bring along or you visit the adjacent food vendors. In this case, the food there was largely from those health food manufacturers big enough to send over free samples. And there were 3 Asian restaurants selling soy meats. You know what these are—vegetarian versions of chicken and beef foods, veggie shish kebobs, even faux shrimp.

Unfortunately, in this case, they were just as fried, oiled, and spiced as their meat counterparts. Sure it was vegetarian, even vegan, but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy. You could be on a diet of donuts, spaghetti, and cake and call it vegetarian. Vegetarians without education and principles can get into trouble. It’s one thing to be fighting for animal rights and it’s another to create a diet based on sound precepts and quality nutrition. A vegetarian/vegan diet that includes food that is fried, microwaved, canned, has artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and is grown with pesticides and GMOs is just as unhealthy as the standard American diet (SAD).

And then there was also…The family outing at the New York City Chinatown restaurant. (Really I am not trying to make a case against Asian cuisine.) Ordinarily, I can find plenty to eat in an Asian restaurant. But not this time. Usually, I like to say “grace” before a meal. But at this meal all I could say was “grease!”

Finally there was the holiday meal which included contributions by several family members. It was a smorgasbord of colorful selections, but many of them did not fit into my normal diet. Especially the desserts. I keep a low sugar profile. Sugar is one of the danger areas of the modern diet and I even believe that it feeds cancer cells. We can go on about this one; sugar is a topic unto itself. All I’ll say here is what you already know—sugar can be addictive. Once you get started, it’s hard to stop. That day, like the Sirens who enchanted ancient Greek sailors toward their destruction, I was shipwrecked by sugar.

I believe these are challenges we all face. So if you are feeling the need to cleanse, the question becomes, how to do it? Just one bad food-day is not enough to throw your health out of whack. But there are many reasons you might feel the need to cleanse.

Sure, you love food. But are you finding it less gratifying? Are you feeling a little heavy? Sluggish? Tired? Bloated? More headaches than usual? Too much stress? Or are you just not paying enough attention to your health? If you’re experiencing any of these…it’s time for a cleanse!

I’m starting one next Wednesday (Oct. 26) as soon as I get back from delivering the key nutrition address at the International Sprout Growers Association convention at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

These are just a few of the many cleansing ingredients we’ll put in our smoothies. Cleansing and delicious.

Then, on Nov. 7, I start a guided fast. This is a 7-10 day cleanse and we meet over 3 times over the internet. Personally, I prefer to juice fast because it enables me to accomplish the most results in the shortest period of time. I do encourage everyone to try fasting because most folks are truly surprised at how doable it really is. The biggest challenge is the social-psychological fear of going without food. But if you do it right, hunger pangs largely subside after one day and totally after the second or third. From then on, there is absolutely no struggle about not eating. And fasting is definitely not starving—not even in the medical sense. What does happen? Your body commences a well deserved vacation. It starts its inner spring cleaning. First we meet to discuss what we’re going to do, what tools we will need, and how we’re going to start. Next we meet and everyone shares what they’re doing and how they’re feeling. At meeting #3, there is more sharing and feedback and a lesson on how to properly reintroduce food and extend the benefits of cleansing into the ongoing diet.

Think about it. You visit the dentist a couple of times per year to clean out the accumulating food build up. You know that if you don’t keep it up your teeth will decay and your gums will recede. But what about the accumulated food that builds up in your intestines? In your liver and gall bladder? Your pancreas? Your kidneys? These are your closest friends, yet we ignore them. Americans take better care of their cars than their bodies. We readily schedule a tune up or an oil change. But what about scheduling a tune up for your body?

Why not? Join me for an inner oil change. It’s right online. Just be in front of your computer and telephone. This is an ideal thing to do with a group and a guide. I want to take you to the place where you feel lighter, healthier, happier, and stronger. I’ll meet you there.

Here are a few comments from past cleansing graduates.

“I was embarrassed at times, during the fast, when people saw the age reversal in my face. They wanted to know what I was doing to keep young. Sometimes, I would just try to look tired, minimizing the attention they were giving me.”

“The most remarkable part of doing the juice-fast was that it did not interfere much with my normal work/personal life, so I did not have to take any time off. I’d learned earlier that this cannot be done with water-fasting.”

“My metabolism appears to be more efficient. I occasionally eat and drink “a lot” (do much traveling on Company expense), but do not gain the weight I would normally gain (pre-fasting).”

“My vision improved drastically…Wish I never had to eat again, so I could maintain the mental and physical alertness that came with the FAST.”

QUESTION:

Mr Sproutman,

Thanks so very much for publishing Sprouts The Miracle Food.  I cannot put this book down…there is so much I want to do…so much to learn. I’m graduating from the JAR !!!!

I recently purchased products to grow soil “MicroGreens”. A lot more work & more difficult to maintain proper climate, PH, etc. What I need to know: Are the Hydroponic seeds I purchased able to be used in the “Fresh Life Sprouter”? You also suggest to hatch the garlic & onion seeds first & then transfer them to a 6″ sprouter.  What is a 6″sprouter & where do I get it if it is not the Fresh Life Sprouter?

Thank you for your assistance.

Martha 

ANSWER:

Dear Martha,

I am delighted to hear that you enjoy my book Sprouts The Miracle Food.  First I would need to know the name of the seeds you are trying to sprout.  Second, ideally you can hatch garlic and onion seeds in a Sprout Bag and then transfer them to the Freshlife Automatic Sprouter or the Freshlife Manual Hand Watering Sprouter.  The Freshlife Sprouter is the replacement for the 6″ Sprouter.  Pictured are garlic sprouts.

THIS TUESDAY CLEAN OUT, LIGHTEN UP, FEEL FABULOUS

This Tuesday and next, I am leading a group of folks on an easy cleanse. (It’s an online class that you can take from your home.) Many of you know that I lead juice fasting clinics 3-4 times per year. But this Kwik Cleanse is designed for those of you who are not quite up to the task of fasting. So if your schedule doesn’t allow the commitment required for the more intensive cleanse of a fast, then join me for a week focused on cleansing with a lighter and more flexible regimen.

Who Needs this Program?

Truthfully, we all need to cleanse periodically. Even those of us who are relatively disciplined and conscientious, still need cleansing because it is just a normal part of the way our bodies work. Think of your house. If you consider yourself a clean person, you probably keep up with it on a regular basis. But there is still a need for a more thorough “Spring Cleaning” once or twice per year.

So, if you are feeling perhaps a little achy in the head or in the joints, or a little bloated; if you’re moving slowly or are slightly fatigued; if your mental acuity is not what it should to be, or if you’re just feeling a little heavy, then this could be your opportunity to clean out, lighten up, and feel fabulous.

P.S. This is a web seminar. It runs an hour and a half. Just like in a real classroom, you get to interact and ask questions with the instructor (me) and other students. You sit in front of your computer. You call in on your telephone or call SKYPE style using a computer headset/microphone. You’ll get all the sign-up details after you register.
