My 3-day fasting experience with Nutrigenesis
Approach Lean-N-Clean® (Hereafter referred to as Lean-N-Clean®) in conjunction with colonic* therapy for the purpose of intestinal cleansing/body detoxification.
(Narrated by Diana Chauvin R.Ph, B.C.N.S.P.)
Trial 1: I, (Diana, age 50) had tried juice fasting and did not make it through 2 p.m. the first day due to severe hunger pain and craving for food.
Trial 2: I fasted for one day with Lean-N-Clean®. I completed the fasting successfully without hunger pain, food craving or signs of weakness. I was able to devote the majority of my time to other work not related to the fasting endeavor. This was accomplished with 3 doses of Lean-N-Clean (one each for breakfast, lunch and dinner) and about 6 cups of hot (temperature-wise) vegetable broth (no solids) in-between.
I must clarify that this is not a true fast. A true fast requires complete abstinence from nutrients.
Lean-N-Clean® and vegetable broth provide plenty of micro nutrients our body need without solid foods and excessive calories.
One day prior to beginning of fast: Ate light meals, no meats, mostly vegetables and fruits. Ate dinner early. Prepared two big pots of vegetable broth with various vegetables except starchy or acidic types of vegetables such as potatoes or tomatoes.
Day One:
Upon rising, I measured my weight without clothes and abdominal size. Then I drank 1 dose of Lean-N-Clean® with 3-4 cups of warm (room temperature) water. I did light exercise about 10 minutes to stimulate bowel movement (BM). I had one BM before going for first water colonic, scheduled about 10 AM at a local health spa.
The purpose for the first colonic is to flush out as much loose fecal matter in our colon as possible before taking the Lean-N-Clean® to allow the intestinal cleanser and hot broth to get closer to the stubborn old fecal matter attached to mucous membranes of the colon to moisturize and soften it for easier removal. Result of first colonic was non-remarkable. Therapist patted and massaged our abdominal area in an attempt to loosen up any old fecal matter in the colon. Through the outgoing colonic hose, we passed out what looked like mostly fresh food residues mixed with some small old pieces. I took 3 doses of Lean-N-Clean® that day around our meal times. Each dose was taken with 2 teaspoonfuls of honey added and 3-4 cups of water. I drank hot (temperature wise) vegetable broth (about 2-3 cups) in between doses of Lean-N-Clean®. No time was spent on food preparation. I spent most of my time on light house work and paperwork. I did stretching exercise on the floor about 15-20 minutes. I stayed alert and energetic all day. I went to bed comfortably without hunger pain, food craving or weakness
Day Two:
Upon rising, I measured my weight and abdominal size, then drank 1 tall glass (2 cups) of water. I waited until we were hungry to drank our first dose of Lean-N-Clean®. I had 2 average size BM that morning. My BM took on the shape of ropes. We took another dose of Lean-N-Clean® whenever I was hungry for a total of 3 doses before I went for a second colonic, scheduled around 5 PM. I drank hot vegetable broth in-between as on the first day.
2nd colonic experience: Therapist patted and massaged my abdominal area as she did during the first colonic. 15 minutes into the colon irrigation, she stated that she did not feel the water sloshing around in the ascending colon. Meanwhile, I was feeling water pressure building up in my abdomen. She indicated that I had some obstructions in the colon. I did not see excessive fecal matter coming through the outgoing colonic hose. When she finally finished the session after 30 minutes, I still felt quite a lot of pressure built up in my abdomen. When I sat up and put my feet on the floor, I felt an immense urge to move my bowel. I rushed to the toilet, sat on the commode and raised my feet on a 6 inch stool (to realign the colon). I heard what sounded like an explosion inside the commode. When the explosion was over, I was stunned to find that the commode was half filled with the most ugly, foul-smelling black, slimy, pasty and twisted looking old garbage that ever came out of my body. My daughter came into the bathroom to witness the result. I thought my intestines were pretty clean before until I saw what came out of me after 2 days of fasting, 3 BMs and 2 colonics! At the end of the second day of fasting, my abdomen felt much flatter and softer and I had a very good sense of wellness. I lost 2 inches around my abdominal area so far.
Day Three:
I had to go to work on that day. That morning, I packed 3 doses of Lean-N-Clean®, one gallon bottle of water and a thermal bottle of vegetable broth to take to work with me. I took a dose of Lean-N-Clean® whenever I was hungry and drank hot broth in between. I felt good all day. I did not run short of energy or feel weak as everyone would expect. I spent a minimal amount of time drinking, which did not interfere with my work. Interestingly, I did not have one single BM on this third day of fasting. I went through the 3rd day of fasting comfortably and uneventfully.
My 3rd colonic was scheduled on the morning after the 3rd day of fasting (before breakfast on the 4th day). I passed about a total of 8-10 inches of fresh looking stool through the colonic tube, but none afterwards. I ate light meals the first day after fasting. The night before I ended the fast, I had a dream about indulging myself in a fancy buffet restaurant with all the food I could think of in the world.
After fasting I started taking probiotic capsules 2-3 times a day for a couple of weeks to replenish our body with friendly bacteria.
- I lost 6 pounds and 2 1/2 inches around my abdominal area. More than half of the weight I lost was attributed to the old garbage I got rid of from my intestines. (My starting weight was 122 lb. and my ending weight was 116 lb.)
- I am experiencing a feeling of wellness that I have not had for years. There is no pain anywhere in my body. I often woke up with a smile on my face, planning my activities for the day before I got up. I could concentrate better and I was less tired at the end of the day. I moved around faster and had more energy.
- My acne on my face disappeared after the fast. I continue to take the Lean-N-Clean once a day for maintenance.
- An elaborate and theoretically sound cleansing/body detox program serves no purpose, if a person cannot manage to finish the program comfortably without hunger pain, weakness and other related symptoms. Most cleansing programs, whether it be 7 days or 3 days require a person to be at home or in an institution under the supervision of therapists. My 3-day fasting experience with Lean-N-Clean demonstrated that an effective cleansing/body detox program can be accomplished without having to take off from work.
- The amount of time and effort required in a cleansing /body detox program contribute greatly to its success. The more time and effort a program requires, the less likely people will complete the program successfully.
- Without fasting and taking intestinal cleanser, a 30 minute colonic is only good enough to flush out the loose fecal matter comparable to flushing the toilet without scrubbing the inside of the toilet with detergent and a good brush. You can achieve a much better result with 3 colonics if you fast appropriately than with any number of colonics while you are consuming regular diets.
- Although colonics can be costly, everybody should realize that preventive health care can save even more money on medical care later in life, not to mention the preservation of quality of life. This 3-day cleansing/body detox program is more effective and less expensive than half a dozen or more colonics without fasting.
- I am convinced that this 3-day cleansing/body detox program should be done at least twice a year, throughout life, to help Nature keep the body healthy.
Result of Nutrigenesis Approach 3-day cleansing with colonics 6 months later: Did not notice much old accumulated fecal matter as I did six months ago. My colonic therapist advised me that I only needed two colonics. This proved that the program consisting of three months therapy with Lean-N-Clean® plus the 3-day fasting with three colonics was adequate to remove decades of toxic buildup in my colon.
Result of colonoscopy** two years later: I underwent a colonoscopy procedure two years later to examine the health of my colon. Since I requested no sedation for the procedure, I witnessed with my own eyes that I did not have any polyps, diverticulosis, ulcers or abnormal growth in my colon. It was such a relief for me, being a 52 year old who had suffered chronic constipation most of my life! I must mention that the 2-day fasting with clear liquid and the cathartic that must be taken to completely flush the colon before colonoscopy is not quite as easy to accomplish as the Nutrigenesis Approach 3-Day fasting in conjunction with 3 colonics.
