Once you have completed steps 1-4, consider yourself in 'maintenance' mode. You should still keep key nutrients in your body in therapeutic doses so that you continue to create vibrant health. Without infection or toxicity, it will be much easier to do so.

If you had infection in the body, the damaged cell matrix and DNA need to be repaired with some important nutrients. The body needs to be supported with a high quality protien, prepared without the use of pesticides, flavor additives, toxic preservatives or synthetic hormones. Also, the beginning of infection almost always starts in the intestines. Undigested foods that don't clear the body completely can create dysbiosis, or an unhealthy bacterial environment (we find this in at least one-third of our patients). Digestive enzymes are needed in order to avoid this situation. One out of three adults is deficient in digestive enzymes...we use up more than we should because we eat lots of processed and cooked foods.

Try eating something raw every day (meaning primarily fruits and veggies) so you can start to improve your digestion just by eating more healthful food.

Superfoods rejuvenate the body

Superfoods are foods that when you eat them, actually boost health. So rather than just eating fruits and veggies because they're healthy, or eating junk food because it tastes great, start adding some superfoods to your daily diet. Some include flaxseed meal, coral minerals, greens in a caps or powder formula, unprocessed, unbleached sea salt, fruits picked at peak ripeness (we have dried banana and pineapple slices that qualify here), some minimally processed protein powders, unprocessed and untreated coconut oil (ours qualifies here too).
