Applying the Strict Fasting Regimen - To prepare the body for a strict fasting regimen and minimize…
During this regimen, at least 8 glasses of alkaline or ionized water, fresh fruit or vegetable juice, and 2-3 cups of homemade herbal teas (herbal or fruit teas) should be drunk daily.
All fruit and vegetable juices should be diluted at a ratio of one-third. One unit of water should be mixed with three units of fruit or vegetable juice. Tomato and orange juice, and sweetened or additive-containing ready-made fruit and vegetable juices, should not be drunk. One of the best fruit juices is lemon juice. It is best to drink the juice of one lemon mixed into warm or hot water. In addition, fresh apple, beet, cabbage, carrot, celery, and grape juices — known as very good toxin eliminators and also referred to as green juices — are also very beneficial.
After a two-day fasting regimen with fruit-vegetable juice, water, and herbal teas, raw vegetables and fruit need to be eaten again for the following two days to prepare the body. If cooked foods are started immediately after the fasting regimen, not only will the regimen's desired results be undermined, but since the stomach will have shrunk, digestive discomforts will appear starting from the very first day.
Herbs-Plants
We can list the herbal teas we recommend drinking during the fasting regimen as follows:
• Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
• Burdock (Arctium lappa)
• Chamomile
• Dandelion flower
• Milk thistle
• St. John's wort
• Barberry
• Artichoke
• Nettle
• Ginseng
• Green tea
• Red clover
• Rosehip teas
• Parsley juice
These are herbal teas that can be drunk to cleanse the blood and liver. However, we generally recommend that those prone to hay fever and those allergic to ragweed (ambrosia: the plant that causes hay fever) not drink chamomile tea. To cleanse the spleen and get rid of harmful bacteria in the gut flora, a cocktail of cranberry juice, coneflower tea (echinacea), and thyme tea can be drunk, and garlic capsules can be used. Mint-lemon tea is a good solution for calming the nerves and preventing nausea. Orange blossom tea can also be drunk for its soothing effect.
Recommendations
• 
During this regimen, if the need to eat something arises, apple purée blended with its skin can be eaten. However, fibrous foods should not be eaten during the regimen. Before and after the regimen, along with the raw vegetables and fruit eaten, oat bran and flaxseed can be eaten.
• Chewing gum should be avoided during the regimen, as it will stimulate digestion.
• If you are over 65 and taking supplements such as vitamins and minerals, you can continue taking these supplements.
• A cocktail that provides resistance against many illnesses and helps the metabolism function harmoniously: 3 carrots, 3 cabbage leaves, 2 celery stalks, 2 beets, 1 turnip, 200 g spinach, half a bunch of parsley, a quarter onion, and 2 cloves of garlic can be juiced in a solid fruit juicer and drunk.
