The Healing Crisis

During this program, your body can move through various stages of cleansing and repairing. Cold and flu-like symptoms, sneezing,
coughing, diarrhea, sweats, fevers, aches and pains are all natural methods used by the body to detoxify (release toxins) and heal itself. When the
natural healing process or “healing crisis” is in progress, it should be helped along and monitored. This expelling or purging is referred to in
many health journals as “Herring’s Law of Cure,” or simply the Healing Crisis. We refer to it in this workbook as “The Natural Healing Process.”
Cleansing cycles can last one hour, one day, three days, one week, or even up to three weeks. It depends on the level of toxicity in an individual.
These are all great signs that your body is responding and cleaning out the toxicity and also rebuilding the weakened areas.
During the cleansing and healing process, old symptoms of past diseases or weaknesses may return and then disappear as the body heals
that particular area. These are old, toxic problems that were originally suppressed; and now the body has worked its way into these areas to
rebuild and restore normal tissue function. You may also feel areas of weakness that you never even knew you had! Don’t panic! Just relax and let
your body continue its journey into vibrant health!
Disease is nothing more than a toxic, over-acid, inflamed body. Alkalization of the body is key to removing the inflammation as well as
these stored acids and toxins. True detoxification requires alkalization, which leads to cellular regeneration. The diet programs found on our
website are high alkalizers and energizers of the tissues, organs and glands of your body. Try eating 80% raw uncooked foods to 20% cooked. If
you can eat 100% raw fruits and vegetables, your body’s response will be unbelievable. Try it!
