Enemas
It is preferable that you do 2 high coffee enemas every day while on the cleanse. Most people find that they have the most time to do one in the morning upon rising and one at night before going to bed. However, you can take them whenever you feel comfortable to do so, throughout the day. If you simple cannot find the time to do 2 enemas every day, then do one. Taking these enemas daily will help facilitate the removal of the waste matter being pulled from the colon walls. The more quickly this matter is removed from your system, the less likely you are to experience any toxic cleansing symptoms. Also, this will help your body’s cleansing process to be more efficient. If you find that it will it is impossible to do even one enema per day, please see Meridian.
Ending the Cleanse
Ending the cleanse is just as important as the cleanse itself
The day you end the cleanse and start eating you will need to begin taking Replete. For 14 days you will take one packet per day. Add one packet to a glass of water, first thing in the morning and continue for 2 weeks. This will replenish the healthy bacteria in your colon that is vital for proper digestion.
For the first 3-4 days after the cleanse, it would be best to eat only fruits and vegetables. Eat lots of steamed and pureed vegetables (wash well and eat the skins). If you feel you cannot do this, please discuss it with Meridian. Below are two highly recommended recipes that will be full of potassium. Often times after a cleanse, you can be depleted potassium. After 3-4 days, you can slowly add in fish or chicken. The fifth day add in fish or chicken at one meal. The 6th day add fish or chicken into another meal, and so on.
Potassium Broth Cut 1/4” of the skin of potatoes off and simmer with onions and garlic - use the skins, not the potato! Very high in potassium!
Beeler Broth
Simmer green beans, celery, & parsley until soft. Blend with the water you cooked them in. Filled with nutrients!
Helpful Hints and Suggestions
· You can drink as much fruit juice as you would like throughout the day.
· If you have any reactions to the cleanse, take an enema or a coffee enema (see Meridian for instructions).
· You may feel totally energized but if you don’t, take it easy, relax, do some Yoga. Your entire body is going through a cleansing process so the less stress on your body, the more energy it will have to thoroughly complete this process.
· If you are going to be out all day, take a small cooler with your juice, psyllium, bentonite and supplements in it.
· Don’t feel like you have to “push through” the rough spots. If you have any discomfort and an enema doesn’t relieve you, call Meridian right away. We’re here to help!
· After the cleanse:
If you find you are a little constipated, take Turkey Rhubarb & call Meridian.
