Cleanse & Detox Plans

There are literally hundreds of cleanse and detox plans available today – with many high-profile dietitians and celebrities throwing their weight behind a different method every summer.

From the impressive (such as the pH Miracle cleanse) to the ridiculous (the Lemonade Detox) there is a wealth of information available on how to detox and which detox is best.

As ever, and with every health choice, it is absolutely vital that you make up your own mind – rather than be prescribed a solution by any one particular source.

Detox Plan Basics

Our advice is always to review all of the information that you can find with an open mind and pick and chose what makes sense to you.

Therefore, the aim of this resource is to give you our unbiased opinion on the three detox plans that we consider to be the most trustworthy and that we have actually undertaken ourselves. There is so much information available (much of it conflicting) that we wanted to put it all together in one place and make it accessible and easy to understand. As ever, if you have any questions you can contact me here.

Some of these detox plans could be perceived as being more difficult than others, but you will all be starting from different places and have different goals in mind and so feel free to take from this what works for you.

The Alkaline Diet 'Cleanse' Detox

The alkaline diet is based on the premise that all illness and disease is caused by the over-acidification of the body through the consumption of acidifying foods such as meat, dairy, saturated and trans-fats, refined foods, sugars, sweets, chocolates, coffee, alcohol, tobacco etc. The solution to this, naturally, is to increase the intake of alkaline foods such as fresh vegetables, salads and greens, low-sugar fruits, ‘good’ fats, nuts, seeds, pulses, fresh juices etc.

The fact that these foods fall so neatly into these categories certainly adds a lot of weight behind this approach. This approach also follows such common sense that it is difficult to dismiss. It is simply telling you what your mother always told you – eat your vegetables and steer clear of the sweets, fatty foods and dairy.

Proposed and developed by the likes of Dr. Young and Tony Robbins it is advised that this health approach is kicked off with a ‘cleanse’.

The Basics

The cleanse is also known as a liquid feast which should give some indication as to what the detox entails. Cleansing basically consists of consuming only raw, alkalising, liquid foods and drinks. While on face value you may have alarm bells ringing at the thought of not consuming solids during the detox – there is some pretty strong logic behind this.

The consumption on a cleanse is 100% fresh vegetable juices and soups with additional supplements such as omega oils, vitamins, green drinks (made up of powdered grasses such as wheatgrass), cleansing aids and minerals.

How is it done?

Cleansing is not a complicated process, however there are a number of simple rules that should be adhered to in order to maximise its effectiveness.

Water

It is absolutely essential during the cleanse that you consume at least four litres of high quality, alkalizing water each day. The toxins that the body is trying to expel will attempt to leave the body in a number of different ways, including through producing increase mucus, through the skin (spots) and through the waste we produce. By remaining fully hydrated and alkalised the body is given the opportunity to rapidly flush out toxins ensuring that ‘detox symptoms’ are minimised while refreshing your body with the fluids it needs on a daily basis.

Liquid Feasting

During the cleanse the most important thing to remember is that this is not a fast! The cleanse is quite the opposite as it is designed to feed your body with all of the nutrients that will aid repair and give the body the energy and replenishment it needs during the cleansing process. The quickest and most efficient way to alkalise and deliver nutrients to the body is through liquids as this is a form that allows the absorption of nutrients most effectively ensuring minimal waste. Raw soups, vegetable juices, green drinks are all highly alkalizing and vital to the cleanse.

Supplements and Essential Fatty Acids

Although it is not absolutely essential to use supplements during a cleanse, it is highly recommended. The two most beneficial supplements during the cleanse are the pHion Green powder (or capsules) and the pHion pH Booster drops (or alternate brands such as Inner Balance). These two supplements provide not only high fibre, protein, alkaline salts, and a vast array of vitamins and nutrients but are also anti-yeast, anti fungal and anti-mycotoxic, making the water that you drink far more alkalizing.

Essential oils (ensure they are cold pressed oils such as Udo's Choice), including omega 3 and omega 6 are important in mobilising stored fats and toxins within the body, providing a wide range of benefits including: lower blood pressure, cholesterol and risk of stroke or heart disease increased weight loss through an increase of the metabolic rate and fat burn-off, killing of cancer cells, prevention of liver damage, improved hair, nails and skin, creation of a healthy environment for human cells, particularly brain cells, nerve synapses, visual receptors, adrenal glands and sex glands.

A good multi-vitamin is also recommended which contains a good range of minerals and preferably alkaline salts. Do ensure that any supplement you do take is vegan friendly and does not contain yeast.

A Typical Day on the Cleanse

This schedule is just an example of what a typical day using the Cleanse and Detox Pack would consist of. Remember that hydration is essential to enable your body to remove toxins. Some optional steps have been added, including the use of the pH Booster, juiced greens/soup and Omega Oils. These are optional but will help to maximize the effects of using these products.

UPON WAKING

Mix pHion ™ Cleanze into 16 oz of cold water and shake thoroughly. Drink the mixture down on an empty stomach, fairly fast; otherwise it will get thick and hard to swallow. Then take 3 phion™ D-Tox capsules and do not eat anything for half an hour.

7:00 AM

Mix 1 litre of water with pH Booster™ and drink slowly.

8:30 AM (OPTIONAL)

If you have access to a juicer, juice some fresh greens such as kale, spinach, parsley, etc. Drink one glass of the freshly juiced greens. It is important to note that drinking juices that contain a high sugar content or any juice that is packaged is not a substitute for freshly juiced greens and should not be used during a cleanse. If you cannot make fresh juice, just make another green drink to substitute. Also swallow one tablespoon of Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend.

11:00 AM

Mix 1 litre of water with pH Booster™ and drink slowly.

NOON

Mix pHion ™ Cleanze into 16 oz of cold water and shake thoroughly. Drink the mixture down on an empty stomach, fairly fast; otherwise it will get thick and hard to swallow. Then take 3 pHion ™ D-Tox capsules and do not eat anything for half an hour. 

Have a bowl (or bowls) of a raw, alkalising soup (see detox recipes).

1:00 PM

Mix 1 litre of water with pH Booster™ and drink slowly.

4:00 PM (OPTIONAL)

Take a tablespoon of Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend and make another green drink.

5:30 PM (OPTIONAL)

Drink a glass of freshly juiced greens or make up a soup (see detox recipes).

BEFORE BED

Mix the pHion ™ Cleanze with 16 oz of cold water and drink the mixture down on an empty stomach.

A cleanse can last between 2 days (at the very minimum) to 10 days (which is a great achievement).  Cleansing is hugely beneficial. The foods and drinks consumed during this period flood the body with an abundance of nutrients in a form that the body can easily assimilate and utilise with minimum energy required. The outcome of this is that the body can heal itself rapidly and your energy levels soar!
