MEDICAL MEDIUM ORIGINAL 3:6:9 CLEANSE (PART 1)

The purpose of the Original 3:6:9 Cleanse is to eliminate accumulated toxins and pathogens deep within the body and enable us to live without chronic symptoms.

When we're sick and struggling with lingering symptoms, we seem to forget what it's like to feel good. Months and even years pass and we no longer remember the feeling of lightness and energy or even what it is like to feel healthy. Some people have never known what it's like to feel good because they've been suffering since childhood. When symptoms dominate our daily lives, it can be easy to think that we have no control over our health. The Original 3:6:9 Cleanse is a powerful way to take back control so you can move forward.

By cleansing the liver and other organs of the toxic pests responsible for chronic health problems, the Original 3:6:9 Cleanse becomes one of the most effective methods of cleansing the body. This protocol helps you relieve and even get rid of symptoms and conditions such as palpitations, hot flashes, tingling and pins and needles, aches, vertigo, dizziness, brain fog , migraines, anxiety, depression, bloating , fatigue, reproductive problems , problems with the thyroid gland , lupus, Lyme disease , rheumatoid arthritis , psoriatic arthritis, eczema, psoriasis , acne , urinary tract infections and many others. When the poisons and toxins and the viruses and bacteria that feed on them are gone, life is full of possibilities again.

You have the right to heal. You deserve to feel strong and productive and to feel healthy and energetic.

BASIC CLEANING GUIDELINES

Keep these important notes in mind as you review this article:

Improvements

As we already mentioned in the article "Guide to Choosing a Cleanse - Part 1 and 2" , the Original 3:6:9 Cleanse is an improved version of the 3:6:9 Liver Cleanse from Anthony William's book Helping the Liver . Carefully read the following pages to take advantage of these improvements - for example, include celery stalk juice on all nine days of the cleanse for extra support, and add steamed zucchini to your lunch menu for the first three days. Also check out Chapter 19 - "Cleaning Basics" of the Cleansing for Health book , where you'll find answers to frequently asked questions about cleansing.

Recipes and sample menu

You will find all the recipes mentioned here in chapter 23 of the book "Cleansing for Health" . In Chapter 22, you'll also find sample menus that describe recipe options for each meal.

Adaptations and substitutions

If for some reason you cannot eat or have access to any of the foods listed on the following pages or solid foods are a problem for you, see Chapter 21, which is about modifications. There you will also find an option to include Heavy Metal Cleansing in this protocol.

THE THREE: ORIGINAL CLEANSE 3:6:9 (DAY 1 TO DAY 3)

For starters, it's important to think of the first three days of this cleanse as the moment we're about to take the spare wheels off the bike. The idea is not to make drastic changes because that wouldn't be helpful. Rather, it is the beginning of the cycle, and without this adjustment period, the overall result of the cleanse will be less successful.

Skipping the Troika stage is like taking a driving test without knowing how to start the car. This is a mistake that is made in many of the famous detox regimes that put our body under stress. In such a situation, the organs cannot function effectively. They will not cleanse because we have not properly prepared them for detoxification.

The beginning of the cleanse should be especially careful with the body so that poisons and pathogens can be flushed out of it at a later stage. We should not immediately give the liver too much work or overload the brain and heart. The purpose of the first 3 days is to prepare the body for cleansing.

After waking up from sleep

• Start each of these 3 days simply: with 500 ml. water with lemon or lime juice. (See the Lemon Water recipe for the correct ratio of lemon or lime to water. This is not about squeezing 10 lemons into a glass of water.) You can also drink 1 liter.

ADVICE:

• If you wish, you can add 1 tsp. raw honey to lemon or lime water.

Breakfast

• After drinking the lemon water, wait at least 15-20 minutes, preferably 30 minutes, and then enjoy at least 500 ml of celery stalk juice (see the recipe in the article "How to make celery stalk juice" ).
• After drinking the celery stalk juice, wait another 15 to 30 minutes and then enjoy a breakfast of your choice, within the guidelines for this cleanse. Celery stem juice is a medicinal, not a caloric drink, so be sure to eat breakfast. This breakfast can be a fruit shake or oatmeal. Find more inspiration in the recipes in Chapter 23 and the original sample menus in Chapter 22 of Cleanse for Health , as well as in our blog articles .
• If you get hungry later, eat something of your choice again that doesn't contain radical fats and doesn't include the problem foods mentioned in this chapter. And here you can get ideas from the recipe section. Apple is the easiest option.
• On day 2 and day 3, be sure to eat 1 or 2 apples for breakfast before lunch. You can eat them alone or with another fruit in a smoothie or even pureed. If you don't like apples at all, replace them with ripe pears. As a last resort, you can drink fresh apple juice. Apples vary in size - you choose how much to eat.

ADVICE:

• An additional option is to make an "Advanced Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie" as your morning breakfast - as long as you don't replace the apples in the morning on Day 2 and Day 3. For more information on including the Heavy Metal Detox in the 3:6 Cleanse :9 see Chapter 21 of the book Cleansing for Health .

Lunch

• For lunch, choose a meal without radical fats and without the problem foods listed in this article. For ideas, see the recipes in Chapter 23 and sample menus for the Original 3:6:9 Cleanse in Chapter 22 of Anthony William's book.
• Don't forget to include 1 cup of steamed zucchini with your lunch as a side dish or in the meal itself.

Afternoon

• When you get hungry in the afternoon, have breakfast with 1 to 2 apples (or the same amount of applesauce or ripe pears) and 1 to 2 dates.

ADVICES:

• In Chapter 23, you'll find fun recipes with apples and dates.
• If after the described breakfasts you remain hungry, have breakfast with more apples.
• If you choose store-bought applesauce, make sure it doesn't contain additives.
• If you don't like dates or have nowhere to get them, substitute a handful of mulberries (dried or fresh), raisins, grapes, or figs (dried or fresh), in that order. You can chop them or blend them with the apples.

Dinner

• For dinner, choose a meal that does not contain radical fats or any of the problem foods in this article.

ADVICE:

• This meal allows you to eat an optional serving of pure animal protein (as long as it's not on the list of foods to avoid) or another form of radical fat such as avocados, nuts or seeds. You don't have to at all. If you want to take it to the next level, skip those radical fats at dinner during The Three instead to make it a fat-free cleanse.

After dinner

• If you're hungry after dinner, eat an apple (or applesauce or pear) of choice.
• One hour before going to bed, drink another 500 ml. lemon or lime water.
• Also enjoy a cup of hibiscus, lemon balm or chaga tea before bed. Choose one of them instead of mixing them. It is not a problem to drink the tea with the lemon or lime water at the same time.

ADVICE:

• If desired, you can add 1 tsp of raw honey to the water.

Recommendations

• Cut your usual intake of radical fats (nuts, seeds, oil, olives, coconut, avocados, animal proteins, etc.) in half and don't eat them until dinner (or eliminate them altogether). Although leguminous foods do not contain radical fats, exclude them from your menu.
• Avoid: gluten-containing foods, dairy products, eggs, soft drinks, salt and spice mixes, pork, corn, oil (both industrially farmed and healthier options), soy, lamb, tuna, other fish and seafood gifts (you can include salmon, trout and sardines in dinner for the first 3 days), vinegar (including apple cider), caffeine (including coffee, matcha, cocoa and chocolate), grains (millet and oats are allowed), alcohol, natural/artificial flavors, fermented foods (including kombucha, sauerkraut, and coconut aminos), nutritional yeast, citric acid, monosodium glutamate, aspartame, other artificial sweeteners, formaldehyde, and preservatives.
• If you like animal products, consume only 1 serving of pure organic meat from wild or pastured animals, free-range poultry or sustainably caught fish (salmon, trout, sardines) per day, only at dinner.
• Try to eat more fruits, vegetables and green leafy vegetables every day. Steam the vegetables only or add them to the dishes from the recipes in Chapter 23. Avoid baked foods for all 9 days.
• Read the text that follows and Chapter 21 for substitutions and adaptations in case you can't eat the foods in the table for any reason. Eat enough to fill you up without overeating.
• Keep your body hydrated by drinking 1 liter (approximately 4 glasses) of water daily between your morning and evening lemon or lime water.

THE SIX: ORIGINAL PURGE 3:6:9 (DAY 4 TO DAY 6)

During these 3 days in the middle of the cleanse, the liver gets a long-awaited break from having to produce large amounts of bile. Constant bile production mode is the state most people live in due to high fat diets and the body's need to break down these fats. This pace exhausts the liver and prevents it from performing its daily tasks of detoxifying the body. When the liver finally takes a break from producing large amounts of bile, it can work to flush out the toxins it has stored deep within. When the liver is cleansed and restored, it promotes health on all levels.

After waking up from sleep

• Again, start each of the three days with 500 ml of water with lemon or lime juice. If desired, drink 1 liter each.

ADVICE:

• If desired, add 1 teaspoon of honey to the lemon or lime water.

Breakfast

• After drinking the lemon water, wait at least 15-20 minutes, preferably 30 minutes, and then enjoy at least 500 ml of celery stem juice .
• After you finish juicing the celery stalk, wait another 15 to 30 minutes and then enjoy the Liver Aid Smoothie . Make yourself one or more servings, depending on how hungry you are, and consume them throughout the rest of the morning. Alternatively, eat the smoothie ingredients sliced ​​into a fruit salad.

ADVICE:

• An additional option is to drink a Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie later in the morning if you want to follow the modification from Chapter 21 of the Cleanse for Health book - as long as you don't replace the first Liver Aid Smoothie of the day . If you want, make smaller portions of both so you have room in your stomach.

Lunch

• Day 4 and Day 5 - enjoy a lunch of Steamed Asparagus with Liver Help Salad .
• Day 6 - Lunch Steamed Asparagus and Brussels Sprouts with Liver Help Salad .

ADVICES:

• If you prefer, you can eat the asparagus and/or Brussels sprouts raw—for example, in the Shredded Brussels Sprout, Asparagus, Radish, and Apple Salad or Brussels Sprout Salad recipes.
• Eat vegetables raw or steamed. Make sure you don't fry them or cook them with oil, cream, butter, vinegar or salt during the Original Cleanse.
• If you don't have fresh asparagus and/or Brussels sprouts, buy them frozen. If you don't have fresh or frozen asparagus and/or Brussels sprouts available, substitute zucchini.
• Either steam the vegetables just before eating, or cook them in advance and eat them cold on top of your salad. You can also mash or blend them.
• If you don't want a raw salad because it's slow to eat or hard to chew and digest, replace it with Liver Help Soup. If soup is not an option for you either, replace with Liver Help juice. For more guidance, see the "Salads" section in Chapter 21 of the Cleansing for Health book .

Afternoon

• When you get hungry after lunch, eat at least 1-2 apples (or the same amount of applesauce or ripe pears) and 1-3 dates (or their substitute), this time adding celery stalks.

ADVICES:

• Do yourself a favor by setting aside some celery stalks when you make your celery juice in the morning.
• If chewing celery is difficult for you, finely chop it in a food processor or blend it with the apples.
• If this doesn't make you feel full and you need more energy, eat more apples in the afternoon.

Dinner

• For dinner on Day 4, enjoy steamed asparagus again with the Liver Helper Salad .
• Dinner on Day 5 is Steamed Brussels Sprouts with Liver Help Salad .
• And on Day 6, enjoy both steamed asparagus and steamed Brussels sprouts with the Liver Helper Salad .

ADVICE:

• You have the same options here as for lunch - for example, you can blend or mash the asparagus and/or brussels sprouts, eat them raw, replace them with zucchini, replace the Liver Helper Salad with Liver Helper Soup liver" or "Liver Aid" juice from the recipe chapter. Read more in Chapter 21 of the book Cleansing for Health .

After dinner

• If you are hungry after dinner, eat an apple (applesauce or pear).
• One hour before going to bed, drink 500 ml of water with lemon or lime.
