Getting Started
Cleansing "homework" preparation
Do this preparation exclusively for 7 days before your first colonic.
1
Kale salad
Eat 6 cups of kale salad every day.
It's very important that the lettuce used for these salads is kale (curly or lacinato). Iceberg or green leaf lettuces are not sufficient. You will experience more benefits if you use kale, as it has more nutrients to assist in cleansing your bowel.
You're welcome to add raw veggies and avocados to your salads, as well as Vicki's lemon tahini and poppyseed dressings. Yum!
2
Baked beets
Eat 2 fist-sized beets every day.
Baked beets are an effective natural cleansing food. Baking beets are more effective than raw beets for cleansing because of the chemical reaction that the dye causes in breaking up hard fats and calcification.
Eating 1-2 beets with your kale salad at lunch and dinner will increase your ability to have an easier and more successful cleansing experience. Feel free to use the beet greens as an extra green for your kale salads!
(*Side note: Don't be afraid when your waste is red/purple in color. That is from the beets!)
3
Drink water
Drink 1 gallon of steam-distilled water everyday.
If you are not used to this volume of water everyday, this will be an adjustment. But just wait until you feel those benefits! Hydration is very important, especially during cleansing.
It can be helpful to split your gallon of water up during the day and schedule time to finish each portion so you're getting consistent hydration throughout the day
4
Watermelon
Did we mention that hydration is important?
Watermelon is the final touch in successfully prepping your body for your first colonic. And here is the best part - you're welcome to an unlimited amount of watermelon each day. Nice!
This is not starvation! The more you eat of these foods, the better you will be set up for success. You will be glad for your consistency and commitment. Trust in the process, you can do this!
