Even after I began eating 100% Raw Vegan, I resume this program on days when I eat dried (unactivated) nuts or nut recipes. When I eat Raw and only have activated nuts, then I modify this program as my intuition leads. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Activated Nut Recipe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Activating nuts means: 1) Soak nuts in water for 2-3 hours. This starts germination - moving from stasis to liveness. There is a difference between Raw and Live with nuts. Raw nuts require activation to simplify digestion and nutrient release. 2) Rinse until rinse water is clear. This washes away all the tannins (acids), enzyme inhibitors and protein inhibitors. 3) Soak again for 2-3 hours in brine. Our brine is 4-5 T Himalayan Salt/quart of water. Salt greatly increases digestive fire (strength). 4) After this second soaking, pour nuts through colander or pour off water. Rather than rinsing, just remove water leaving your nuts coated with salt. 5) Place nuts in dehydrator. After an hour nuts taste like warm buttered bread, especially our favorites - Pistachios. After a day, they are dry and crunchy again. Our preference of dehydrators is: Excalibur's Nine Tray Dehydrator http://RadicalHealth.com/gear/9tray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What To Expect - Rapid Cycling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When first starting most people rapid cycle: 1) They gain and lose water weight in great quantities. Sometimes gaining/losing 10% of total body weight in a 24 hour period. 2) Moods my fluctuate dramatically. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Weight Cycling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As bodies are flooded with high quality salt and nutrient density increases a transition occurs. Nutrients are stored as water is stored. Water is built up based on acidity of tissue/bone embedded toxins. Water is the great dissolver and the body's purpose in retaining water is to dissolve and liberate these toxins from tissue/bone so they can be eliminated. As toxins are liberated stored nutrients are used to neutralize and chelate (bind) toxins so they can be safely eliminated. At some point in this process retained water becomes super saturated. When this happens the water is full and is unable to hold further debris in solution. This is similar to stirring salt into water. In the beginning salt dissolves and disappears. When the water saturates, salt begins to precipitate out and fall to the bottom of the glass. Same with water in our bodies. When saturated, further extraction of toxins will result in precipitation, where toxins fall out of solution and are reabsorbed. When saturation occurs, excess water is flushed which can cause rapid weight loss... and many bathroom trips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mood Cycling ~~~~~~~~~~~~ As nutrients and water is being built up, mood tends to expand. When the dissolving accelerates and nutrient reserves are called on to assist, mood tends to compress. During this period mood can collapse if pH goes to acid. This means, eating a junk or heavy food meal when elation turns slightly blue, can result in temporary depression, anxiety or panic/paranoia if pH goes highly acidic like drinking a soft drink. Drinking acid fluids is particularly challenging as it usually takes several days of drinking pure water to neutralize the acid from a single soft drink. Drinking soft drinks on a regular basis sets the stage for an eventual mood crash which is deep and dark. This is amplified when doing Pathogen Flushing, because bodies have enough energy and nutrient reserves to rapidly detox acid substances. Best to be conscious of how your eating/drinking and if you feel blue, pamper yourself. Take a hot salt bath, have a salt flush and go to bed early. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life After Rapid Cycling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Rapid Cycling ends, you'll know it. Sensations are similar to swimming up from deep water after being under a long time. When you break surface, your energy will begin a long ascent of expansion. How long cycling will take with a given person depends on their families health habits, nutrient reserves, vitality (internal energy) and daily health habits. For some a few weeks or months. Personally, I cycled for years. And if I had to do this again, I'd only cycle for weeks. Why? Because I did all my detoxing and flushing on Raw Vege Juices. Today I'd go faster because I have Himalayan Salt, Indium, Angstrom Minerals, Cacao, Hemp, Pollen, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's Next? Chemical & Metal Detox ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once Rapid Cycling ends it's time to go after deep tissue chemicals and heavy metals. This is a simple process, although it can be intense. Chemicals/Metals are stored in specific regions of tissue, wrapped in "cholesterol jails". The body is very smart about this process as life depends on keeping these substances away from neurology. The first step of this process is to ensure lymphatic fluid is draining quickly and completely. This is best tracked by sleep patterns. If getting to sleep is difficult, sleep is restless and you wake up groggy then it's time to really clear out the lymphatic system. I'd start with six Vitalize two hours before bed with 16 ounces of pure water and a Digest (enzyme). I'd keep up six caps/night so long as I passed out and sleep really deep. I'd consider myself complete when my eyes popped open in the morning and I was massively energetic. At this point I'd start using Chem-Free and Metal-Free, exactly as the label specifies. I'd keep this up until any colored rings between my pupil and iris were gone. This may be complicated if your iris is dark brown/black, which is an indication of digestive tract challenges rather than any ethnic background. All eyes, independent of ethnicity, will turn light grey/blue/green when the digestive tract is completely clear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's Next? Spinal & Cerebral Fluid Pathogen Flushing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this point deep pathogens can be flushed. The reason this is left until last, is this process actually kills pathogens. Pathogens love spinal and cerebral fluid because there are no white blood cells in this fluid to attack them. Some people use Angstrom Copper/Zinc/Silver on the spine then apply DMSO to drive the minerals into spinal fluids. DMSO is a challenging substance and the jury's still out as to whether benefit outweighs cost with with DMSO, as it is a volatile solvent which can cause extreme tissue damage if used incorrectly. Instead I'd use 1-8 ounces of Angstrom Calcium to "shock" pathogens out of spinal/cerebral fluid into blood and lymph. Angstrom Calcium is highly alkalizing, which pathogens hate. Angstrom Calcium will also penetrate spinal/cerebral fluid barriers. This sudden "shock" of alkalinity puts pathogens in motion. They leave their safe spinal/cerebral fluid homes trying to find an escape from the Angstrom Calcium. After 10-15 minutes I'd follow with the same amount of a equal part mixture of Copper/Silver/Zinc. So the Calcium shocks them into blood and lymph, where they can be easily detoxed and the Copper/Silver/Zinc kills them. Normally we take Zinc and Copper at different times of the day, as Zinc is antagonistic of Copper and reduces Copper uptake. Here we're only concerned with the effect on pathogens, rather than cellular update. Considerations: 1) How much of each? I'd start with an ounce of Calcium followed by an ounce of Copper/Silver/Zinc. If this worked, I'd double it. 2) How many times? I'd figure I was done, when I had no symptoms after taking a round. 3) When to take? I'd do this on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and keep up light movement, to ensure complete elimination. 5) Why bother with the Calcium? The challenge with spinal/cerebral fluid is detox requires massive energy. These areas of the body are geared toward being sealed. Pathogens get in by burrowing through these seals. Best to have them burrow back out, under their own energy, rather than kill them and have to slowly detox their dead bodies. 4) Why wait to do this? This process kills pathogens. If we started with this, then chances are some pathogens might die in deep tissue causing extremely intense detox. We're after smooth and easy here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Final Action ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pathogen Flushing is intense. Along the way extreme strain is put on tissue as: 1) Pathogen burrow through tissue 2) Chemical/Metal jails break down to release them 3) Acid toxins contact sensitive tissue during elimination 4) Sites where toxins use to live collapse in on themselves, like a houses collapses when inner support beams are removed This activity results in micro abrasions (tears) which are best repaired quickly. A great way to do this is by ongoing use of high quality Salt, MSM, Vitamin-C and Indium. MSM and Vitamin-C are the basic building blocks of tissue. Besides bringing out your highest natural beauty, as this nutrient combination regenerates collagen new integrity and strength develops in all tissue. Glands, organs, skin, nails, bones, gums and teeth all regenerate rapidly. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Wrapping Up ~~~~~~~~~~~ We've covered lots of ground today, so be sure and pass along your questions. You'll find many of the items discussed here in our catalog: http://RadicalHealth.com/order/ I've made one catalog change. The Pathogen Cleanse combo of one bottle Angstrom Calcium and one bottle Angstrom Copper/Silver/Zinc has been removed. These are still available and new clients will only know about them after reading this entire article. This will answer many of the questions new people have and ensure correct ground work is laid prior to using these.
