Our dear Kien Giang friends,
Over the past ten years, my interests have been including the research in the field of natural medicine provided by the earth. I was lucky to rediscover some lost secrets related to the field of nutrition and longevity. This can help us maintain a long, healthy and alert life free of fatigue or common illnesses, free of pain and ache due to aging or from bad habits.
We had the opportunity to attend the Kien Giang 2013 reunion. While having conversations with old friends at Thảnh’s home one evening, Yến-Ngọc mentioned common problems regarding diet to lose weight, especially old age problems of big waist, skin pigmentation, wrinkles.
Yến-Ngọc asked me to write this article detailing one of the secrets of longevity that can help us to maintain the mind and body in an ageless state, or at a minimum to slow down considerably the effect of aging, maintain an ideal weight, free from common allergies, fatigue, pain and ache.
This method may sound simple since it does not involve the use of drugs, but can be very difficult because it requires time and effort on a regular basis. Our own experience has told us that more than 99 out of 100 persons will give up because there is no visible desired result immediately, or because of thousands of other reasons (no time, do not follow directions, do not see results in the subsequent three months, have a strong belief that drugs are the only possible solution to great health…)
This diet guide is one of the many main secrets of longevity that has helped Yến-Ngọc keep her tiny waist (old shape) until today. Please distribute this diet guide to anyone who needs to stay healthy or to keep the extra pounts off for good.
Causes:
We live in a society full of conveniences and amenities but unfortunately we have to pay too heavy a price to afford such comfort. Environmental pollution produces many toxins. These invisible toxins are mostly man-made chemicals processed from crude oil (petroleum). They exist in the air, in our drinking water, food, personal effects, medicines, cosmetics, clothing, everyday objects, machinery. From 10 to 20 years, these toxins are gradually absorbed and accumulated into our body each day wreaking havoc to the digestive tracts and respiratory system of the body. When the intestinal tracts weaken, the body is no longer able to cleanse itself effectively, illnesses and diseases slowly appear. While mild intestine related diseases include: constipation, big belly, obesity, skin discoloration and pigmentation, wrinkles, sagging skin, stomach upset, constantly being tired, loss of appetite, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar. When severe intestinal wall damage occurs, these toxins will spill into the bloodstream and overwhelm our liver, damage the internal organs. The end result is degenerative diseases such as tumors, cancer.
In order to keep our colon clean, we must find a way to expel or to “detox” these accumulated toxins out of our body. We must continue to deny and minimize any chances of having these toxins reabsorbed into our body. Detoxification on a regular basis helps the gut to regain its ability to cleanse itself naturally, and helps the internal organs, especially the liver to rest.
Treatment:
Choose a day of the week that you do not have to work, do not eat solid foods for 24 hours. The most effective way is not eating anything at all from 3 pm to 3 pm the following day. Whenever hunger strikes, drink about 1 cup (250 ml) of freshly squeezed juice produced by a masticating juicer, discarding leftover pulp from fresh red apples, red tomatoes, and carrots. Drink only the juice, do not discard foaming juice on top, absolutely do not add water, milk, sugar or any other substance, no matter how tempting or nutritious it can be. If still hungry, squeeze and drink 1 additional cup, to endure the hunger, not to feel full. The amount of juice squeezed in 24 hours should not exceed 2 liters (2 quarts). If thirsty, drink distilled water (distilled water only, no tap water, no spring water, no drinking water, no beers, no alcohol, again distilled water only). Drink at least 2 liters of distilled water in 24 hours, as much as possible because distilled water helps cells release toxins and helps the kidneys to filter toxins in the blood more effectively. After 24 hours resume normal eating.
Continue this procedure every week.
Results begin to show in 2-3 months.
Depending on the gut (intestinal) health, the phenomenon of “detoxification” (bowel movements many times in 24 hours) may appear within 24 hours or a few weeks after starting the treatment. While doing detox, it is possible to experience stomach upset, abdominal pain, headache, body ache, dazed or stunned limbs, only uncomfortable but not painful. This phenomenon will cease when resuming eating solid foods or significantly lessend in subsequent weeks of doing detox. Absolutely no pharmaceutical drugs, no blood thinners, pain relievers, or painkillers while doing detox (aspirin, Advil, Tylenol, Bufferin, acetaminophen) since these synthetic chemicals will be reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
Tools:
There are two kinds of juice extractor machine. Juicing equipments which do not employ sharp blades are better choice for the purpose of detoxification, since the working principle is similar to a sugar cane drum juicing machine (masticating juicer, Omega J8005). Those with spinning sharp blades (centrifugal juicer) to crush fruit and vegetable often do not yield high quality juice and should not be used due to high temperature generated when the fruits are in contact with the blades. The high temperature (exceeding 125 F) damages vitamins and fruit enzymes. Moreover, the yield amount of vegetable juice is not very good (pulp is not completely dry) and the blades are worn out after a few months of every day use.
Dosage:
Most effective dosage for each 250 ml of freshly squeezed juice, in the following order:
– 50 ml of tomato juice (freshly squeezed tomato juice, clean and keep skin, main ingredient is lycopene)
– 100 ml of carrot juice (freshly squeezed carrot juice, clean and peel skin before juicing, the main components are vitamin A and beta-carotene)
– 100 ml of apple juice (freshly squeezed apple juice, clean and keep skin, seeds removed, juice immediately after juicing tomatoes and carrots because the juice changes its color within 10 minutes, the main ingredients are vitamin C, pectin, quercetin, malic acid)
Mix and drink within 20 minutes, as soon as possible because enzymes are still pure and fresh. If the juice is kept in the refrigerator, it will not be effective and can cause high blood sugar when enzymes in the juice are damaged.
Double the components when juicing 500 ml, use the standard kitchen measuring cup for accuracy. If the juice is too sweet, increase the amount of tomato juice and reduce the amount of carrot juice, the amount of apple juice should be kept at 100 ml per 250 ml.
Effectiveness:
Cleanse the colon from 1 to 2 years following this method on a regular basis. The result can be achieved in a shorter period of time if taking an additional 500 ml per day, not counting the detox day. When the colon is clean, you will notice less wrinkled skin, reduced skin pigmentation or discoloration, no more allergies, no cold or flu, less body pain, ache, and leg cramps, less itching, regular bowel movements, deeper sleep, slow aging, flatter abdomen, ideal waist size restored. The internal organs will function effectively again. Vitamins and nutrients are absorbed through the cleaner and healthier intestinal tracts help us recover our vitality and youth. You should monitor closely the detoxification effect by using white light (daylight color) from above the head to see any visible changes of the iris in the eye. The iris slowly gets brighter and eventually becomes reflective as a mirror.
I wish you success and longevity, forever young and healthy.
