Juice Fasting and the Treatment of Diseases




Fasting with a liquid diet is an effective form of body detoxification.

The lemon detox diet, made of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper, is a common liquid diet for detoxification and cleansing. But since it's not highly nutritive, the lemon detox diet should not be used for long periods.

For a longer detox, a juice diet comprising the fresh juice of fruits and vegetables supplemented with a green protien like chlorella or spirulina is an excellent approach.

Long-term liquid diets should always be undertaken with the supervision of a health care professional.
