I am expecting Dr. Cuenca from Santa Cruz,
California to be in my office in early April for a
few days to test patients and determine where the
blockages are held in the body. I have had this
test numerous times over the years and it gives
you a picture of your health long before any
symptoms show up.
By the time you are getting symptoms, the dis-ease
is well rooted in your body and much harder to
treat holistically.
The beauty of 
is
that you can find hidden blockages and treat them
6 months to a year before anything shows up. This
test is used in most clinics in Europe and treated
with homeopathic, herbs, neural therapy, and diet
to keep you healthy and dis-ease free.
Dr. Cuenca forwarded this spring cleaning for me
to share with you.
Are you suddenly having the urge to organize the
closets, start a new project, or begin a cleanse?
If so, you are in alignment with the energy of
Spring. It’s the time for spring-cleaning out
your closets and detox your liver, too!
During this time of year, the body naturally
begins cleansing itself from excess oils, fats,
salt, carbohydrates, and animal proteins by
releasing a flu or cold. Some may suffer
mysterious bodily aches and pains, and don’t
understand why. This is the liver’s way of
releasing toxins and cleaning house.
We can aid our liver through this natural
cleansing process by eating lightly prepared
meals, less food overall, eliminating animal
products for a specific period of time, and/or
fasting from food entirely.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spring
correlates with the liver and gallbladder
meridians. Fasting can help relieve the pent-up
stagnation of winter (physically, emotionally and
spiritually). Spring-cleaning the body is
essential for physical and spiritual healing.
Every spring, begin to eat lighter foods (salads,
sprouts, spring soups, fish) and reduce heavy
animal proteins and fats for a few weeks. You
could follow that up with three days of The Master
Cleanser (lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne
pepper, water).
While doing the Master Cleanser, abstain from food
entirely, and only drink the liquid for a short
period of time (three days). I feel that the body
and soul are pretty clear and 72 hours works
perfectly for most body systems.
Here is a partial list of what you can do to start
your “Spring Cleaning”:
Drink 8 glasses of water per day. Add ¼ tsp.
vitamin C crystals to each glass of water (it’s a
natural heavy metal toxin chelator).
Have a dark leafy vegetable salad every day and
one cup of miso soup with sea vegetables the night
before you b egin the cleanse.
Make a liver tonic: 4 oz hawthorn berries, 2 oz
red sage (salvia), and 1 oz of cardamom seeds.
Steep for 24 hours in 2 qts. water. Add honey.
Take 2 cups daily.
For the next 3 days…
On rising: take 1 lemon squeezed in water; or 2
tbsp. cider vinegar in water with 1 tsp. honey.
Breakfast: carrot-beet-cucumber juice. Add 1 tsp.
spirulina to any drink.
Mid-morning: take a green veggie drink; or an
organic green super food powder in water or
vegetable juice.
Lunch: have a glass of fresh carrot juice, or
organic apple juice, or a cup of liver tonic.
Mid-afternoon: mint or green tea.
Dinner: have another carrot juice or a mixed
vegetable juice, or hot vegetable broth
Before bed: a pineapple/papaya juice with 1 tsp.

The best detox foods for spring:
? Asparagus
? Dandelion
? Dark greens tender leaves
? Scallions
? Strawberries
? Cabbage
? Broccoli
? Leeks
Avoid “bad” fats:
Avoid trans fats and saturate fats and choose
cold pressed vegetable oils such as olive,
hempseed or flaxseed oils.
Eat what’s in season: Seasonal cooking is one of
the best ways to eat fruits and vegetables at
their
peak freshness, making them more delicious and
nutritious than ever.
Eat more raw food:
Raw food brings you vitamins, minerals and
precious enzymes that could otherwise be
destroyed by cooking. Eating more raw fruits and
vegetables is also a great way to detox
naturally.
Go vegan:
Heavy foods, such as meat, can be difficult to
digest. It also creates more metabolic waste that
your body has to detox afterward. Give your body
a break by introducing more vega n and
vegetarian meals in your diet.
Drink water:
Water is the ultimate detox food. It’s probably
one of the easiest and cheapest things to do to
kickstart a healthy detox diet. Drink more water.
Lemon water:
Start out the day with a half glass of warm lemon
or lime water without any sweetener. The warm
lemon/lime water stimulates a sluggish liver and
alkalizes your tissues.
Tender greens:
Spring brings bright green new shoots. It’s the
ideal time to introduce you to new delicious and
alkalizing greens. Dark leafy greens have a
milder flavor when they are young. Add baby
spinach and other young field greens for a
mineral-rich liver cleansing diet.
Milk thistle and dandelion root:
These two natural herbs are commonly used to
protect and cleanse the liver. Milk thistle is the
protector, and dandelion root is the cleanser.
Vitamin C:< br/>Vitamin C is great for liver health. Studies have
shown large quantities of vitamin C flush out
fats and repair liver damage.
B complex:
All the B’s are helpful, especially B12, which
has been used to help hepatitis patients.
Avoid or minimize alcohol and all over-the-counter
and prescribed pain-suppressant drugs
containing acetaminophen, a known liver toxin.
This toxic world stresses our livers. Restoring a
tired liver and maintaining its healthy cleansing
functions are vital for overall health.
