Go Raw
While it's important to avoid putting yourself in a "food paradigm," it can certainly be helpful to establish a sort of "container" for your diet, whether for the short or long-term. From my perspective a raw vegan diet is at the basis of any purification program, and after the transition from a SAD to Happy diet, is the most natural step to take. I recommend setting a timeframe of 30 days (or so) and sticking with it. For some this protocol will cause detox reactions, others will sail through, and still others will see it as the most natural way of eating.
Life is too short not to eat raw and it's even shorter if you don't.

The longer I have been on the raw food path, the more I tend to come full circle and return to where my original ideas and inspiration of wanting to eat raw food come from - and that’s natural hygiene and its principles.

Most raw fooders don't embrace fruit, instead they embarrass it. by stripping the avocado down to fats and proteins, they paint a portrait that is most uncomely, unflattering and entirely dishonest. By reducing a banana to 100 calories, in the most ugliest of fashions, they attempt to quantify the unquantifiable. By converting a fruit salad to a plate of LFHCs, they degrade and insult the innocence and beauty of fruit.

Energy is also classified as being kinetic or potential. Kinetic energy is energy at work. Potential energy is stored energy—it has potential for use. The chemical energy in food is potential to a certain degree, until released via enzyme and other chemical activators. Then this potential energy becomes kinetic, or more active, electrifying and creating activity in its wake. A great example of the difference between potential and kinetic energy is found in comparing cooked foods with raw foods. The electromagnetic energy (combined molecular energy) of cooked foods is dramatically lower than that of raw foods. The reason is that when heat is applied to a compound its molecular structure changes somewhat, as electrons are altered. Think about what happens to water when you heat it—its form changes from liquid to vapor. With heat, unsaturated fats become saturated (as water-soluble constituents are destroyed, leaving only some of the elements that comprise them), and many dangerous and carcinogenic compounds are created when foods are cooked. Heat also destroys the enzymes in food, which are absolutely necessary as catalysts. The bottom line is that the more energy your cells have, the healthier your body is.
The chemistry of food is somewhat complex when you realize that many compounds work synergistically, while many biotransmute (change) into other constituents and simpler compounds. Most people focus mainly on the vitamin and mineral content of a food, ignoring this long list of other properties and elements that are just as vital to the health of the body.
Plant amino acids are more energetic and easy for your body to break down and use, which is why raw foodists who eat a balanced variety of fruits, vegetables and nuts are never deficient in amino acids necessary forhealth. Meat, on the other hand, requires a more radical and energy-robbing digestive process to obtain the amino acids that comprise it. The other important factor here is that meat protein leaves an acid reaction in the body creating more acidosis, whereas vegetables leave an alkaline reaction in your body curing acidosis. Your body requires live foods, full of phytochemicals, to make it alive. (Dr. Morse, Detox Miracle Sourcebook)
Medical Medium Raw Food Cleanse:
The full cleanse: focuses on raw fruits and vegetables; is low in fat; and eliminates processed food, dairy and animal products. To understand why these foods are eliminated, you can read Liver Rescue. Don’t be afraid of eating raw foods, by the way. They’re actually often easier to digest than cooked foods because the raw version still contains all the living enzymes that naturally help with digestion. Some people believe they can’t digest raw foods, but what is actually happening is that they feel these fibrous foods sweeping along sensitive nerves in their gut and feel discomfort. But this does not mean they are not being digested. If someone sees pieces of raw fruits or vegetables in their bowel movement, it means they have weak digestion and low bile and hydrochloric acid, but this will be the case no matter what they eat.
It’s also important not to be afraid of eating fruit, either. Fruit is the most healing, cleansing, essential food on the planet. It’s also the easiest to digest. It’s an incredibly important food for your health. If you have a fear of fruit, please read Medical Medium or listen to my radio show on Fruit Fear so you’ll understand what a gift fruit really is.
As a recap, the 28-Day Cleanse is incredibly powerful. It will help you clean and clear your liver from the buildup of viruses, bacteria, toxic heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and everyday chemicals like perfume and conventional household cleaning products. It will break down and eliminate leftovers, such as rancid fats that have been sitting in the lining of your digestive tract. It will restore your adrenals. It will rebuild and rebalance your hydrochloric acid levels so you can digest foods efficiently. And it will allow you to absorb the nutrients that all the systems in your body (especially your central nervous system) need in order to function well.
This cleanse was created to help you. It has a great history of turning lives around. Take this cleanse, like everything, one day at a time. If you can only do it for one week, do it for one week. Hang in there. Over time, you may end up doing two weeks, or even more. Just know that I’m here for you and I’m proud of you for doing something good for yourself and your loved ones.

Dr. Morse All Raw Food Fast
This of course is not really a fast since you are still eating food. But to most people who eat heavy, cooked foods, this is definitely considered a fast. Remember: no other animal cooks its food before eating it. Take this fast a day at a time, and try to eat all raw food that day. Try this fast for 5, 10, 30 or 60 days in succession, eating only all raw foods, the longer the better. This type of fast would include fresh raw fruits, fruit juices, vegetables and vegetable juices. No “protein” type foods like nuts or seeds. (Dr. Morse, Detox Miracle Sourcebook)
