| The strict limitation of food is important
because you’re trying to decrease the antigen load to your immune system.
Many of those that have their neuroendocrine-immune system up-regulated are
usually sensitive to the foods that they eat most often. The goal of the
original three days is not to decrease calories, but rather to decrease the
antigenic load. The reason lime and lemon juice are used is due to its
alkalinizing properties which are usually required. Organic grade B maple
syrup is suggested because it is sweeter than other grades, and therefore
less maple syrup is needed to antagonize the sour taste. Green tea can be
added to the mixture if you prefer and you can drink hot green tea all day
during the initial 3-5 days. If you are insulin dependent or are on medication that does not allow you to fast, then avoid step one and start with step two. Any fast must be conducted under the care of a trained medical professional.. STEP 2 Perform the three-week Clearvite-SF® program as instructed on the Clearvite-SF® handout. Instructions can also be found at www.Clearvite-SF.info. During this step it is important to take the supplements listed at the end of the handout for insulin resistance. Be prepared for each day of the Clearvite-SF® program by planning your meals ahead. Be sure to read the Clearvite-SF® program booklet and make sure that you have the proper groceries at home to comply with the program. Remember: “Organic is best.” A discussion about your program should occur with your family members and spouse so they can be supportive during the program. Many times spouses and family members will unconsciously try to sabotage family members during the program and it helps to be prepared to discuss the issue if it arises. It is not uncommon to have an adverse reaction while in the program (nausea, gastrointestinal irritation, skin outbreaks, anxiety, etc.). If this occurs it may be due to too much support and you should discuss reducing your dose of Clearvite-SF® with your doctor. It is very unlikely that you will have sensitivities to the Clearvite-SF® since it is a high-quality hypoallergenic formula; therefore cutting down the dosage is usually all that is required.If you are being supported with additional supplements and an adverse reaction occurs, speak with your doctor and he or she may have you stop taking all of them and re-introduce them back one at a time at ½ the original dose. It may not be that you are sensitive to the supplements, but rather your metabolism is being impacted too aggressively. However, most people will never encounter adverse reactions. STEP 3 Steps one and two allow you to eliminate common food sensitivities that may up-regulate your neuroendocrine-immune axis. In step 3 you will begin adding one food back into your diet at a time. Keep a dietary journal and take notice of any symptoms when you reintroduce food groups back into your diet. Remember: Don't undo all of your hard work with processed foods, sugars, junk foods and sodas! You've just cleaned out your system and filling it up with those kinds of foods will only counteract the benefits of this program.It is important for you to note how you feel at the end of the Clearvite-SF® program. If you feel dramatically better, you probably suffered from multiple food sensitivities and your gastrointestinal-immune system was up-regulated. If you feel no improvement with your digestion, speak with your doctor about options for further investigation.If you feel better at the end of the Clearvite-SF® program and food sensitivities were identified, but continued support needs to be provided to calm down your neuroendocrine-immune axis, you can repeat the lime-aid fast for three to five days followed by the two week Clearvite-SF® program every two to three months under the care of a trained medical professional.
