Question:  Why can't I eat meat or protein supplements during the 8-Day Body Cleanse?
Answer:  They will interfere with the detoxification goals of the 8-Day Body Cleanse by attracting enzyme action instead of allowing the enzymes to dissolve toxic waste dumps in the intestines and circulatory systems.  The protein provided in the Seven Essentials is pre-digested - and 100% assimilable, so, it won't interfere or leave waste material.

Question:  What precautions do I take if I have diabetes?
Answer:  The 8-Day Body Cleanse will likely cause significant lowering of blood sugar.  So, discuss your plans with your doctor.  You will need to monitor your blood sugar levels and adjust medication dosages based on readings.  Brittle diabetics should eat whole grains during the entire eight days in order to prevent fluctuations.

Answer:  Yes, persons with Crohn's disease or digestive ulcerations must not do the 8-Day Body Cleanse.  Note that if you experience severe abdominal pain, you should discontinue the 8-Day Body Cleanse.

Question:  What do I do if I experience headaches or nausea while doing the 8-Day Body Cleanse?
Answer:  First, you should understand why this happens with some people.  A rapid release of toxins occurs during the 8-Day Body Cleanse.  This is a desirable result, but if the kidneys, liver, lymph, lungs or sweat glands (eliminatory pathways) are overloaded with toxins, then headache or nausea can result.  This is far more likely if there is a large amount of bad micro-organisms in one's body.  A die-off of these micro-organisms will occur during the 8-Day Body Cleanse.  The solution for and the prevention of these discomforts is to sweat and rapidly move the lymph through one's body.  Salt rubs, sauna and exercise (walking, stretching, bouncing on a trampoline) will help move lymph and eliminate toxins through the skin.  Also, a lymph massage is helpful.

Question:  What do I do if I start to feel pudgy or bloated during the 8-Day Body Cleanse?
Answer:  This means that you are toxic and retaining water (most likely due to insufficient mineral reserves).  Your body will try to not lose minerals by retaining both minerals and toxins in water weight (stored beneath the skin), hence the pudgy feeling

The antidote is to eat substantial amounts of minerals and trace minerals such as the Kona Deep Sea Minerals (you need to eat several times a normal maintenance amount of minerals - but, don't take so much that you get diarrhea).  Only when your body believes it has sufficient minerals in reserve will it stop retaining water.

Question:  How much weight will I lose during the 8-Day Body Cleanse?
Answer:  Although weight loss cannot be predicted individually, we give the following guidelines:  People who don't need to lose weight - won't.  Women typically lose from  6-13 pounds and men typically lose from 10-18 pounds.  Occasionally, people lose much more.  Often, 1/3 of the weight lost returns within a month.

Question:  What do I do after the 8th day?
Answer:  You can resume your normal diet beginning the 9th day.  Since your cravings will have diminished, you should find it easier to maintain a healthier diet.  Remember to finish the bottle of Parasite Cleanse (it takes 30 days to finish).
