Short Breakdown of the Gut Cleanse
Get Ready
Prepare by stocking up on raw organic apple cider vinegar (ACV), distilled water, and healthy, plant-based foods. If you’re opting for the fruit-only cleanse, gather a variety of fruits.
Make ACV Mix
Prepare six gallons of ACV mix by adding two tablespoons of ACV to each gallon of distilled water.
Days 1 to 6
Follow a healthy diet with three small meals a day, including options like avocado, nuts, or fruit. Drink the ACV mix throughout the day. Before bed, take an oxygen-based colon cleanser.
Post Cleanse
Continue with a healthy, plant-based diet, eating three small meals daily. Ensure you drink plenty of water with fresh lemon.
What Does Your Gut Do for You?
When people talk about the “gut,” they usually mean the entire digestive system, which includes the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and large intestine (colon). Each part of the digestive tract has a specific function, with the colon being particularly important. The colon, a U-shaped section of the intestines up to six feet long, has four parts: ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid. It houses a whole ecosystem of gut bacteria that help keep your digestion on track.
What Is a Gut Cleanse?
A gut cleanse is a highly effective way to boost your overall health and wellness by enhancing your gut’s ability to digest food and detoxify harmful substances. It involves three main steps: eliminating, flushing, and replenishing. First, you eliminate foods that cause digestive issues, such as dairy, meat, gluten, and other allergens, while eating a clean diet, ideally all fruit, for several days. Next, you flush your digestive system of accumulated waste, toxins, and organisms. Finally, you replenish your gut’s beneficial organisms, known as probiotics. Regular gut cleanses are essential for maintaining gut health and can help you establish new, healthy habits.
Signs That It’s Time for a Cleanse
The Standard American Diet (SAD) can wreak havoc on your gut health, leading to accumulated toxins and compacted fecal matter. Your body sends signals when it’s time for a gut cleanse. If you notice symptoms like skin blemishes, mental fog, poor sleep, low energy, poor appetite, headaches, body odor, body aches, constipation, or bad breath, it’s a strong indicator that you need a gut cleanse.
Supplies Needed
To properly perform the gut cleanse, follow the dietary instructions below. The cleanse is similar to fasting, as you will eliminate many foods you usually eat unless you already follow a very clean diet. You’ll need one bottle of Oxy-Powder, one bottle of Latero-Flora, fresh fruit, and purified water (aim for half your body weight in ounces per day).
Fresh Fruit
These fruits are chosen for their ease on the intestines and their nutrient and water content. It’s best to vary your fruit intake daily. Options include apples, avocados, bananas, blackberries, blueberries, grapefruit, oranges, papaya, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, watermelon, and white grapes. If you prefer vegetables, you can substitute leafy greens, garlic, artichokes, and Brussels sprouts.
Gut Cleanse Protocol
Follow this daily schedule for six days to maximize the benefits of the gut cleanse. Each day follows the same routine. When you pick a fruit, eat only that fruit for the meal. Chew thoroughly and savor each bite for better digestion.
Waking Up
Start your day with a positive affirmation, repeating it nine times. This sets a healthy mindset for the day. An example affirmation is, “I am clean and healthy.”
Breakfast
Take two capsules of Latero-Flora 20 minutes before your morning meal. Eat plenty of fresh fruit until you are full and drink plenty of purified water. Repeat your affirmation.
Mid-Morning Snack
If desired, have a mid-morning snack of fresh fruit and drink plenty of purified water. Repeat your affirmation.
Lunch
Eat plenty of fresh fruit until you are full and drink plenty of purified water. Repeat your affirmation.
Mid-Afternoon Snack
Have a mid-afternoon snack of fresh fruit and drink plenty of purified water. Repeat your affirmation.
Dinner
Eat plenty of fresh fruit until you are full and drink plenty of purified water. Repeat your affirmation.
Bedtime
Take six capsules of Oxy-Powder two hours after dinner and drink plenty of purified water. Before sleeping, repeat your affirmation to encourage a restful night’s sleep.
Repeat
Follow this schedule for six days. After the first day, you should have three to five bowel movements daily. If not, increase your Oxy-Powder serving by two capsules until you achieve this.
Benefits of a Gut Detox
A healthy gut means a happy body. When your colon and digestive system function properly, your body’s natural detoxification processes are at their best. If your digestive system isn’t working well, you may not absorb all the nutrients from your food or enough water. A gut detox can improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Here are the top benefits of a gut cleanse:
Balance Your Emotions
A well-functioning gut can positively affect your mood. Anxiety and stress increase with greater inflammation in the body, which occurs with a poor diet. A gut cleanse can reduce inflammation, helping to balance your emotions.
Regulate & Restore Your Immune System
The microorganisms in your gut closely interact with your immune system. A gut detox can eliminate harmful organisms, heal the gut, and keep your immune system on track while replenishing beneficial microbes.
Relieve Constipation & Promote Regularity
A poor diet can lead to compacted waste and constipation. By eliminating unhealthy foods and focusing on water and fiber-rich foods, a gut detox helps remove waste and flush out toxins, promoting regular bowel movements.
Increase Energy
Many people report a significant energy boost after a gut detox, especially when followed by a healthier diet. You may feel more awake and overall better.
Jumpstart Your Metabolism
The gut microbiome helps regulate metabolism. A gut cleanse can enhance your body’s calorie-burning power and may help fight obesity by improving gut flora.
Boost Nutrient Absorption
The colon absorbs nutrients from food. An unhealthy gut can lead to poor nutrient absorption and increase the risk of conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), malabsorption syndrome, leaky gut, Crohn’s disease, and nutritional deficiencies.
Strengthen Your Brain
Gut health can positively impact brain function. A healthy diet post-detox can help normalize neurodevelopmental disorders. Some probiotics also influence brain activity, so reintroduce them into your diet with supplements after the cleanse.
Other Ways to Maintain a Healthy Gut
After the cleanse, continue following a healthy diet. Here are additional ways to maintain gut health:
Manage Your Stress
Excessive stress can cause disorders like ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Manage stress through meditation, yoga, and deep breathing.
Take Enzymes
Digestive enzymes break down food for efficient digestion and offer other health benefits, such as reducing bloating and gas, protecting cells from oxidative damage, and reducing inflammation.
Adopt a Plant-Based Diet
A plant-based diet, focusing on organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains, promotes a healthy gut microbiome, mood, and weight management. Herbal and green teas, along with supplements, can add nutrients and antioxidants.
Incorporate Probiotics
Probiotics restore healthy gut flora, reduce inflammation, improve mood, and ease certain diseases. Choose supplements with multiple probiotic strains and prebiotics. Dairy-free probiotic foods like kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi also help.
Start Exercising
Exercise boosts beneficial gut microbes, aiding digestion and immune function. It also helps with weight loss, stress relief, and brain function.
Points to Remember
A gut cleanse, or colon cleanse, is crucial for regulating your digestive system and overall health. An unhealthy gut can make you feel sick and sluggish. A gut detox can improve mood, immune function, and digestion while promoting regularity. We recommend our Colon Cleanse Program as part of a healthy lifestyle to support your gut and colon. A six-day gut cleanse involves eating only fruit, allowing your gastrointestinal tract to detoxify. After the cleanse, maintain gut health through exercise, supplements, a healthy diet, and stress management.
