Well, Said Karyn! We all need to STOP with the DIVISION of High Raw, Low Raw, Cooked Vegan, Cooked Plant-Based, etc. Like you said this is just causing DIVISION and we should ALL just be happy for EVERYONE who is just eating more HEALTHY. We all just need to LOVE each other and be peaceable with each other.
so so so so true !!!! 💕💕💕💕
It's not just a fad though .... I know in parts of Jamaica there are groups of rastafarians who only eat raw vegan, same in many parts of India, Indonesia etc it's a religion to some ( jainism) this lady just proves that's it's been around .
Absolutely and if we do, we will attract far more people to want to try and improve their diet. @Rawnda Flowers. We need to be kind and patient. There was a time we didnot know things either!!
Eating more healthy, is that all? What about the animal suffering we've stopped participating in? For many of us, that is number one. The vibrant health is just a bonus.
@@planetofthevegans880 I don’t focus on the motive. I focus on the result. Whatever a person’s reason is to go vegan, so be it. It means less harm to our animals. Maybe in time, they’ll also feel the need to cut out animal products aside from diet. It happened to me. Peace.
I have been a vegan since 1968 I am 75 my most creative phase of life is just beginning . Karen you are great. Thanks
amazing !!
That’s awesome to hear! That gives me hope with aging! So much negativity about aging and how your best years are behind you!
Impressive!! Congratulations on your Began journey 🎉
@@GillianBerry Olive oil soap, ancient, Greece 🇬🇷, you can use it in the sink 🍴🍽🥣, and wash your hair, and face and hands etc. Very smooth. It is wonderful !!! 600 g. And it’s cheap 😉. And natural !!!! ruclips.net/video/2XQIxCs7QkU/видео.html
it'd be awesome to see you in one of these interviews!
I had the pleasure of meeting Karyn several times at her 4 different resturant locations during my 14 year stint in Chicago. What makes Karyn different from the rest, is her non dogmatic approach to the this lifestyle. Always emphasizing the evolution and process versus right and wrongs. Karyn is highly intentional in how carefully she contributes in juxposition to the societal pull towards disconnection and competition. Love is not choosing someone who is just like us, it is about loving ourselves so we can find the beauty in others. Karyn lives this. And may I say, she is even more stunning in person.
I'm just starting on my raw vegan journey an I'm already loving the effects of it. This 75 year old woman is so beautiful inside and out, I'm glad I ran across this video.
She has the most balanced, common sense approach to explaining the plant based lifestyle than I’ve ever heard
I loved the interview!!!!
She taught me a lot. I am 60 and finally got my arthritis under control. I got off grain completely and processed chips fried in all those low level oil. I increased my fruit intake and stopped eating red meat. I used to have unbearable arthritis flare ups in my shoulder and elbow joints, now the pain is so minimal I can exercise and use resistance band to keep my arms toned. If people don’t move away from the processed grains, corns and red meats, they will stay sick and by 60, you won’t have a great quality of life.
@John Wilson Same!!!
Amazing, happy for your progress
Karyn is so evolved. She’s so multifaceted and doesn’t treat the raw movement as a religion, like this is the only way! She’s flexible and keeps an open mind. Alot of us can learn from her.
so true!!! love love love her ! I am going to Chicago to interview her in person this fall so stay tuned!
@@GillianBerryI will, thank you Gillian!
Karyn is a dear friend of mine. When my mom was raw back in 2013, when will lived in Chicago, she would take me to Karyn's seminars at her center. I was 11 when we left! I miss her so much she is amazing.
I use to go to her restaurant when I lived in Chicago too. Curious do you eat raw and or vegan?
wow no way!! that is amazing
can't wait to share your vid soon Shelly!!
@@giselafiege7169 I am following a raw food high fruit lifestyle now. When I was there I wasn't raw but loved her food!
@@GillianBerry yea can't wait either!
Karyn is great and an inspiration. I am a plant based consumer so does my husband. Half of my DNA which is southeast Asian is lactose intolerant so no dairy products for me from the start and meat really gave me skin issues and chicken and eggs make me nauseous for reasons that I couldn't understand as a teenager but it was promoted as healthy so I stuck to it but I became obese, tired and lacking in energy. My husband being European love his dairy as it was taught to them that milk is the perfect food until our bodies paid a high price and that was an awakening and listened to our bodies. My husband fought 2 types of cancer and the second one he escaped chemotherapy by embracing a strict whole foods plant based and the rest is nothing short of a miracle and even his doctors are amazed by how he recovered and its been years now and now he gained strength full of energy and became lean and so did I. I am a nurse by profession in my 50s and its sad that most of my cancer patients have a lifestyle of excess and anxiety. My colleagues always poke fun at me for being plant based but I just laugh it off because at the end of the day I am not the one in lots of maintenance from blood pressure pills to arthritis pills name it my colleagues have it and one in walking sticks already at 55.
I love your channel, Gillian, and I love Karyn!! I watch your videos all the time, and because of your channels, I have become raw vegan since April 11, 2024. It has healed my ulcertive colitis, and I feel happier and more energetic, and I have lost 28 pounds. Thank you for sharing this with the world!!❤🥰😁
yayyyyyy!!!!!
Yes, staying relevant is the key!! Passion, goals, curiosity about people and life. Don’t ever think you’re done until you’re done! You are an inspiration, thank you Karyn!
💚💚💚
70 damn 5 yrs old! I'm in awe... and aspire to be like that when I'm that age. To look and feel so young.... absolutely beautiful 🙏 and yes, meditation, yoga and eating right I believe are the core things to live such a happy and healthy lifestyle. Plus, it's just a waaaay better way to live and be
That's young ? She looks 90
@@leiladasha Naw, your just hating for zero reason! She looks amazing and your attitude is unfortunate 🤷
@@leiladashaI met her in Chicago many times trust my she is so full of energy , still wearing high heels at 70 something , very stylish too . Looks and age perception can be subjective so it’s not that important as being healthy and having lots of energy
You have finally made the interview that I have been waiting for! You asked the questions that needed to be asked to someone who was wise enough not to be so jaded that they are full of themselves and have the only way, the right way. Life is a journey for you was takeaway for me.
You get two thumbs-up for this👍🏾👍🏾
yay i am happy to hear this!
Th
I remember when Karyn and her then husband opened Karyn’s Corner raw vegan restaurant in 2003. I spent time in Chicagoland and her vibe 20 years later is awesome and even more well balanced. She was so engaged in the restaurant like she is in many other things now like most of the raw food scene from early 2000’s outside “AuLAc” have fallen to the wayside. Great interviews!
Karyn is gorgeous and inspiring! As are you beautiful Gillian. Thanks so much for a wonderful episode. Btw I am in a family of 3 grown sons and a husband all meat eaters and drinkers. No one I know is like me at all in my Pennsylvania backwoods town. My husband and I have owned two restaurants/bars for the last 30 years and I haven’t eaten anything we serve for 12 years! I’m considered an alien. Lol. So much love to you🫶🏼
Admiration for your strength in staying true to your beliefs!
@@giselafiege7169 Thank you💚
love you!!!!! thanks for sharing this!
@@traceybaucom5755 Thank you Tracey, much love. Hope you have a wonderful day!
An alien who would feel guilty about killing animals ?!! If anyone could see how we are treating animals I’m sure NO one would want to be responsible !!
I like what she said about “bridges.” That’s what I’ve been doing for years, and just now starting to get to the extended juice fast/feast (to get out plaque, deep detox, deep cleanse) phase, in willingness, readiness.
I truly believe that’s how we are supposed to live. Eating plays an important part of having a healthy body and mind.
Gillian you get the best guests to interview. Thanks again for another in-depth conversation with a master.
glad you feel this way!!!
I just love her and everything that she has to say. I just started Intermittent Fasting for my health, I’m 21 days in. I will be 59 years old in 9 days. I don’t like using labels. I just eat mostly plant based because it’s what makes me feel my best. I was Type 2 Diabetic in 2016 until I Reversed it in 3 months, Over 6 years ago by giving up sugar and I only ate healthy carbs. I started my healing from childhood trauma Journey and I started eating some sugar again and lots of bittersweet chocolate. In 2020 I started having health problems. I can’t eat anything with gluten cause my stomach will swell up like a balloon and I also have GERD and caffeine triggers it. My goal is to work up to occasionally doing water fast.
Intermittent fasting is natural state of human being at least here in east part in europe.
Karyn is such a BEAUTIFUL SOUL 🌻
Such sage information spoken 🌠
“At 75 I’m starting all over again and loving it “ vegan 🌱
Yes queen…your an amazing light to this world
She has so much wisdom.
Thank you! Your interviews lately has been off the chart amazing! This one has been my favorite being in my early 50’s and somewhat new to eating raw.
❤️❤️
there is a good one Im posting Sat too with Fred Bisci !!
What a wonderful interview, thank you so much both of you. I’m almost 73 and since my 18 years, I’ve been aware of the way to eat no animals and going through many different phases . When my children were young, in the 70 ties , they went on holiday with their grandparents. I did one or two weeks of water fasting every summer . Nevertheless I’ ve been on and off a serious sugar addiction ever since my birth, when they gave me sugar water to drink 😢. I don’t eat any sugar since 3 months and it was very hard the first weeks. I eat almost roar and juices. Looking great is not only because you eat as well as possible at each period of life, the inner light shines so beautifully through Karyn ❤😂
Omg Gillian! So glad you and your man are getting back together. I know all relationships aren't meant to be forever but it looks like your love is longstanding and you guys will grow a lot as a couple! I love that he has different lifestyle. My hubby is soo beef/mashed potatoes but he's a sweetheart and always supported me no matter what path I choose and I'm standing by him!
that's amazing love it 🙏🙏🙌🙌🌸🌸
yes we are definitely trying !!! 😁😁 we do have a deep connection and love each other a lot ❤️❤️ and our relationship is a million x better than it was a couple years ago so we are headed in the right direction ! he's so supportive too like your man !! like next level supportive !!
Wow!!! Can't wait to watch it! Just discovered Karyn a few weeks ago. Thank you for this interview Gillian❤️🌸🦋
you're so welcome! she's incredible
I m so grateful she shared her hardships! I developed a tumor on my eyelid and I did long therapy sessions (to solve the problem why it came), I worked on myself so much and my eating is better than I know people around me (I m not raw but high in raw) and adventually I had to get a surgery. I felt so much shame and anger for not resolving it myself. I hope somebody sees this comment that really needs it...sometimes you can do your best and something will still happen,and it s ok!!!!! After all, health is put together from so many factors that we all can t control ❤
so true !!! thank you for sharing this !
you are amazing !
glad you're ok !
🙌❤️🙌🙌💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸💜💜🤗
Hi, in my experience diet can't solve everything. Illness starts at the energetic level, which is what I learned in my Energy Kinesiology classes. However I hit a wall with that when I got cancer, and had to get conventional medical treatments. I, too, was adamant that I could cure anything on my own, but that turned out not to be the case. I eventually found A Course in Miracles, because I prayed for a miracle and that's what showed up. I learned that God is the best healer, so whenever anything goes wrong now, I say Dear God, please heal X, so that X is healthy and comfortable from now on. I had to learn to trust God instead of trying to do everything myself, because I was really stressed out and overwhelmed, and needed God's help.
@@Monicax95 I have recently started to watch dr Robert Morse, went raw and got some of his herbs also. Just by going raw, my kidneys have started to filter more, after about 1.5 weeks on raw. I wish you the best!!!! I know that it s not all about the physical, I did strong frequent therapy for 9 months before I had to make a choice to have my tumor removed surgically...I have started to regret it since I started to watch dr Morse, but I felt that I didn t know at the time what to do anymore.
Good luck in your life😍
Awesome interview!!! I saw this lady years ago on the news, thank you so much for interviewing her. This was everything I thought it would be and more!
💞💞💞
Love this interview!!! Thanks!!!❤❤
Such an awesome interview! This is the best Karyn's interview I have seen so far. I thank both of you ❤️ 💓 💖
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gillian I'm so happy to hear that you and your husband are trying to work things out! That's awesome! I'll be praying for you all!🙏💞
thanks LeAnne!! yeah so far so good we are a lot better than we used to be! we are definitely trying and working on things day by day!
There are so many things I relate with her. My Ann Wigmore books are falling apart and I gave wheatgrass courses in the 80's. It really didn't go well as it was misunderstood and weird to most. There wasn't the data like there is today. Also my kids friends told their parents I grew grass which didn't go well there either ha. I have wheatgrass growing in my kitchen as I type. This is inspiring and I appreciate the validation. It was a lonely journey, but so worth it. I am not vegan, but I respect the lifestyle. Thank you!
💙💙💙
So excited for this!! 💗
One of the greatest interviews of all time. Thank you Gillian and Karyn !
anytime:)
She is a remarkable woman, very inspirational. Thanks for this great interview Gillian.
Have loved her for years!!! Another great one!!! TY Gilz!
anytime!!! ooxooxoxoxoxo
2nd comment.
I really needed this.
Thank you so much Gillian for bringing this woman to show me, despite what I've witnessed in my family, that you can be like this at 75. Amazing and proud :) ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Hello Karyn and Gillian! Thank you so much for this interview, it was excellent. There were so many different things I got from it, but one that I wanted to specifically say thank you to you both for was the conversations about getting away from labels and measurements. I find these two things have made things so over complicated and frustrating for so many people, and even hurt people's health. You're both amazing, lots of love, please keep doing what your doing!💕💕💕
HI Karyn
So glad that I came upon this video. I have been thinking about you recently and here you are . You have really stayed the course and are an amazing testimony of what you teach. You are a blessing to so many. Lots of love and blessings to you.
❤️❤️❤️
She is such an inspiration to my, thank you for having her on 💜
my pleasure!
This is, BY FAR, the best Karyn interview ever! 16 years, I’ve been on a raw vegan journey with lots of wicked hills and valleys. My raw journey looks like a pile of zoodles. I’ve followed and unfollowed many. I loved Karyn’s store & restaurants & we talked a number of times. But her ego could be so off-putting, especially in interviews. They were unsettling to watch. In person, she’s been kind, but also downright snarky to me at times and that saddened me, because I had her on a pedestal for a while and that’s my fault and challenge. I’m SO happy to see a change in her. I know she’s been through extreme challenges, these past few years especially. But they have clearly humbled her. Her energy is so much kinder in this interview. I usually can’t finish them. Now I’d like to drive down to Flossmoor and see what she’s creating. I always respected her wisdom, but her vibe was very different from this for a very long time. In my humble opinion, this humbled, kinder Karyn, is the most beautiful Karyn.❤️
wow !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an honest perspective. Shows your growth as well as hers! 🙌 An open soul (mind, body, spirit) connection. Perspective without judgment. Love ❤️
I truly appreciate your hard work and consistency, Gillian.💛
thanks Nadia 🙌🙏🌈
Soooo glad I finally watched this, Gillian! So many nuggets of wisdom here! I was on the treadmill and couldn’t get off until I watched the whole thing. Just awesome! 👏👏👏
yay happy you liked it Eva!
amazing amazing interview ... both of you have such grace 💫 Gillian your light is shining bright , thank you for all your hard work and content.
💕💕💕
Ms.Karyn it was a pleasure- meeting u ❤
Beautiful person inside and out
I’ve went to your Chicago locations numerous times
I excited to go to your Flossmoor location ❤
This interaction upped my vibrations. Thank you!
Love n light 🙏🏾

@@GillianBerry I'm actually still watching! On my last 8 mins! Jahajahha!
Yes Karyn! Been with you since 2014 and off and on before that! You are awesome! Let’s go! 💜✨
I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for such a lovely and informative interview. Everything flowed so smoothly. ❤
you are so very welcome
I am glad you liked it Connie !
Incredible!! Love your interviews and channel, Gillian
thanks Amy !! I am so happy to hear ❤️💕
This is a great show! Karyn is encouraging and the interview is good. I am glad she mention doing a detox because many raw vegans who just started miss this. And yes the oil pulling is good too, she look great and is sharp too.
Great interview! True pearls of wisdom.. Thank you for sharing
She's amazing!! Really enjoying all your interviews GIllian. Great content.
🙏🙌
Such a beautiful lady inside and out and what an inspiring interview! I love how she looks at life in such an open and loving way! You do such great jobs with all these interviews! There a great videos for me to share with my friends
I love her perspective also!! & thank you! xo
Oh my goodness what a lovely lady!!! I love how spiritual she is. ❤️ I can relate to her husband not being Vegan. My Husband is the complete opposite of me being vegan, lol. 😀 it works we because we deeply love each other and he is super supportive. I am happy to hear I am in good company although I want everyone to be happy. Wishing you all the best in your relationship Gillian. 🌺❤️🌈🍎☀️
love you!
Loved this interview ❣️. Thanks to both of you for this inspiring conversation.
Glad you enjoyed it! you are so very welcome!! it was our pleasure!
your interviews are amazing!!
thank you!!! stay tuned for a good one tomorrow morning! Mimi Kirk!!
Absolutely loved this one!!!!👏👏 my boyfriend Dosnt eat like I do either but we make it work:) happy to know I’m not alone! Made my day hearing that!
happy to hear you loved it!!! and we can relate to each other in the man department:) xooo have a great rest of your weekend!!! xoxo
So true about the “hangover” effect after eating meat; after not eating it for so long!
Thank you for the interview
Karyn has fantastic ideas, I love her interviews, very informative!
I just followed Karyn's YT and showed my sister! Hopefully, we can make the small trip from Chicago to Flossmoor soon to visit her wellness spa.
Yeah, she's right about having a passion and purpose. That is super important. Brava!
As I listen to her, it is so calming. What she is saying is hopeful. That if we cleanse and just listen to ourselves, we will find our purpose and it doesn't have to be grand, just whatever is right for us and brings us joy. This is hopeful and calming to me. I'm dealing with a lot. I need to step back and find some space to just let myself be and whatever that is, not to judge it. Just let it unfold.
Another GREAT interview💚
happy you liked it!
I ❤ Karyn! “Agida”😀 Not only my favorite raw inspiration but just love her as a person… maybe because I’m from Chicago area as well and relate.
I am so blessed to have found this channel.
blessed to have you here !!!
Wow! I really love attitude and outlook on life so awesome!
You both ❤️ are very inspiring 😊🙏 great video once again!😊 You never disappoint Gillian!🤗❤️💞
🙏💕
Wow she is incredibly beautiful! One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen and that includes women much much younger than her! She is very authentic and natural inside as well. What a teacher!!
Detoxing from sugar is amazing. After my sugar detox my body began to reject sugar. It gives me a headache now. & I did the detox last year. (Refined sugar)
Thanks for sharing. I’m just in my third month without sugar. It was really hard during the first weeks. I’m born in 1950 and right after my birth they gave me sugar water to drink. I have been addicted to sugar even if I ate healthy food and was never overweight 😢. At almost 73 I do it !! 😂❤
Having a purpose and a passion! I love that ❤️
me too!!
Such a beautiful soul. Such a wonderful interview. Thank you
welcome 💙💙
Great interview love her energy ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Gillian, great video!!! I really love all you do, love your vibe and soul so much!!!
thank you so much for saying that 💙
love you

I love her. So beautiful, down to earth and humble 💖💖💖
Karen looks fabulous! I hope to look as well preserved at 75 and onward.
loved this!
yay I am glad:) xo
Another amazing guest and interview. I’m a huge fan of your style of interview, there is no ego you make it all about the guests without interrupting all the time as some people do! ❤️
I know you are busy Gillian but when possible can you upload all these latest ones like Doug Graham etc on Spotify as I would love to re listen to them while training
Thanks
😊
yes def will this week sorry have been meaning to but took this week off with my kids as my sitter is in cuba 🇨🇺 😁😁 so a bit behind 😁😁😁🌸🌸 xoxoox
Karyn was instrumental in my decision to adopt a vegan diet. I had my first raw food at her restaurant. Love her!
wow amazing !!
Gillian also consider interviewing Annette Larkins. I consider these interviews as testimonies. Love it.
yes would love to! have had a hard time reaching her!
Annette Larkins would be great. And I'd love an interview with Dr. Brooke Goldner. She's a real gem in the vegan and raw vegan world as well
@@GillianBerry Anette Larkins was also in my mind... did you manage to reach anyone around her, like her son, who was filming her and doing all the video work for her youtube channel? It would be great if you could contact any member of her family or close circle of friends to know how she is doing, because it's been a long time since we got any news from her... and a month ago I went to her youtube channel and got shocked by some comments... HOPEFULLY THOSE ARE ONLY RUMORS, but people were talking about a supposedly car accident, that took her life ??? I googled it and didn't find ANY confirmation of such talk whatsoever! So, I guess - and really hope - those are only rumors from ignorant people... WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANETTE ON YOUR SHOW!!! 💃🏾
Great interview! Thank you
Our pleasure!
A delightful interview. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
I love Karyn. She's totally a beautiful woman. I'm still learning from her. I'm excited to watch this. Thank again Gillian. I already know I'm gonna love it.
hope you love it!
Opening a restaurant at 75 ...wooow 😍👌
Lovely .
She has 30-35 years more to go.
Congrats
Never too old!
amazing right!!?

Loved it. Have great weekend everyone. I will😎
Two staples in the movement. Another wonderful interview. Im Soaking up all this knowledge . Its nice to hear a more journeyed lady such as Karyn speak on detoxing , as with Her generation thats something so exclusive in nature, where-in only those walking the most narrow path would be enlightened on the matter. A couple things I would like to add on to some points made in the video :
To the next generation, or even more experienced people who are more recently getting into the raw lifestyle who begin to eat raw and undergo detox symptoms which makes them want to bow-out and revert to their prior diet structures or try carnivore etc - its not that anything is wrong with how You feel. This "Deterioration" is only temporary, its Your body breaking down damaged cells and healing the inflictions caused by an entire life-time of self indulgence. We've all been there and We've all had our fun which has taken its toll on Us, and what gos up, must come down, and what is broken down, gains the ability to be built back up respectively. The worse You feel on a detox, the better You will feel once You are finished purifying. Its not an easy process, and I can see how being in the publics eye as a social media mogul or an influencer would make it that much more trying. You have people who depend on You to show results, and naturally we want to display what we deem as 'positive results' rather than letting people see us in pain or struggling. I think if showing people this side of You deters You from continuing on the path, it might be better to temporarily disconnect from the livestreams and the daily videos, and instead maybe just take pictures and do offline vlogs to document Your journey where You dont feel pressured or judged for what You are going through, then You can decide later what You want to document and produce content with to share with the world. Your healing process is more important than Your self image, because at the end of the day Youre health will be by Your side for Your entire journey on this planet, while everything else comes and go's. Even with Me personally, I've been trying to nail this Essene Gospel of Peace detox on and off for about 6 years now. Even when I did actually pull it off in April of 2018, I was weak-willed on the refeed and ate cooked food which reverted the purification and although I wasnt right back to square-one , it did make those 9 days of extremely heavy detox somewhat redundant. When I was finally rinsed clean and had purged all the toxins out of my digestive tract on day 9, I re-fed with a vegan pea protein smoothie, banana, and some other fruit. Two hours later I had some raw organic almonds, spinach, and pineapple. Once those digested a little I remember feeling so light. It was suddenly like stress, anxiety, fear, all negative emotions couldnt possibly reside in Me ever again. I felt like I was literally floating on a cloud. I went and sat down on my bed to meditate. I remember closing my eyes and thinking "I bet I could tell what time it is right now" and I guessed the time, opened my eyes and looked at the clock and I was only three minutes off. I was beginning to gain telepathic or psychic powers. Not even a couple hours later I lost sight on what I wanted from this life and began to snack on this and that, eventually even having a piece of cake. I think ideally not having these foods in Your house is really key. Also remaining focused on the aspect of how You feel based on what You eat, instead of seeking the dopamine hit of spoiling our taste buds is also important. Like it says in the Essene Gospel of Peace ( I only read chapter one as its the part on detoxing, and its available online to read for free ) after You complete the detox, Youre never to eat cooked, frozen, or rotten foods again, lest the angels depart You, which is completely true. After binge eating I felt the energy fizzle out and the lightness dissipate. While I did end up feeling better than I did before the fast, its incomparable to the feeling of absolute purity which was attained. For anyone who wants the "Quick Fix" which Karyn speaks of on this video, the closest You are going to get is the Essene Detox. Depending how backed up You are, it will take anywhere between 9 and 30 days, where-in 9 is the average person who periodically adheres to fairly clean diet structures, does intermittent fasting, eats alot of raw food etc, and 30 is the standard american diet over a lifetime of indulging. Although I dont recommend jumping directly into the detox from this diet, because the symptoms will be rougher , as you could have substantially less toxins to purge even just having a couple month period leading into the detox where You ate fairly clean on most days and that would reduce the heaviness of the cleanse substantially. I recommend reading Herbert Sheltons PDFs which you could find online free to read. The books are called "Science and fasting" and "Science and the fine art of fasting" . For anyone who reads ePubs You can find the latter on the Archive website , the pdfs can be found on multiple platforms. The only thing I would say Herbert missed on was the effectiveness of enemas and colonics. He had a mentality that we are meant to face the detox symptoms head on and deal with them as they come, but I dont think he realized how much rinsing out the toxins lightens the load of the fast. When we fast, the body breaks down dead and weak cells, it eliminates parasites and bad bacterias in the body and uses them as fuel sources, effectively converting all unnecessary elements in the body into energy which it uses to sustain itself during this period of restricted calorie intake. All of this cell die-off and toxin release is effectively purged through the body and accumulates in the lymph, where it prepares to be excreted through bowel movements. However, since You arent taking in any fibers which encourage bowel movements, and Your bodys natural gut flora which also encourages regularity has diminished from the fast, its increasingly difficult for Your body to naturally release the toxic buildup without assistance. This is why its so much more potent to detox with enemas and colonics. You get these build-ups out of Your bodies way so it can go back to further cleansing, using the energy efficiently to continue with the further break-down of unnecessary components. If You do an extended fast without flushing these toxins out and force Your body to eliminate them naturally, You will have to face alot more detox symptoms such as potentially vomiting, headaches, etc. They make the fast alot more comfortable. Again, this is for people who really want to go through a more intense detox in a shorter amount of time, vs extended over a longer period of time such as a juice fast or even just a raw diet with perhaps intermittent fasting which can still be effective, just more drawn-out. Some personal insight for anyone who attempts it : Baking soda is extremely effective when paired with extended water fasts ( and cleansing in general ). Half a teaspoon to one teaspoon in a tall glass of water ( 10 ounces ) an hour to a few hours before the enema . The minimum quality would be Arm & Hammer, and You could use something organic and even cleaner as well. Just no off brands which tend to be impure. ( Continued via reply as comment got too long )
Try not to drink soda water before sleeping without doing an enema, as it breaks down toxins which need to be released, otherwise could increase sleep confusion ( which also naturally occur regardless during the detox to an extent ) . You can do this two to three times a day , and the same amount of enemas respectively. During the fast, like Herbert says, You are not to work. The extent of my exercise when purifying is light pranayama stretching and breathwork in the morning. You dont even wanna go for walks. Essentially remaining bed-bound for the duration of the fast, only leaving bed to bathe and bathroom ( which i recommend doing as often as You please ) even getting some epsom salts and essential oils to create a spiritual bathing routine protocol while cleansing. Alternating between hot and cold showers helps alot. Breath-work is huge also. I remember when I purified the first time, I would have these bouts of deep-breathing while in the state of ketosis, where after about 30 to 40 seconds of deep breathing, I would start to have *INTENSE* vibrations in my body, which would range from my face to my abdomen, and it would spread throughout my upper body. I would literally feel my cells vibrating, creating this tightness wherever it was happening. Like when it happened in my face, it would be hard to open my mouth because my jaw would almost lock up completely. I think its this hidden healing process where Your body is purging the cells further through heavy vibrations. Aside from what I just shared hmm what else...You enter ketosis between 2.5 and 3 days into only water. If You start the fast with no water or food, it happens in two days. Although personally I dont think theres a need for dry fasting. It really doesnt speed up the detox much further in my experience, as Your body is so efficient at using water to cleanse, that lack there-of doesnt make much of an improvement in the cleansing, . They say when Autophagy occurs ( act of dehydration from lack of water intake) , Your body is forced to source its own water by extracting it from whatever resources are available, which can help in breaking down unnecessary components faster like cancer cells, dead and dying cells, parasites etc. Ive done a 5 day and a 6 day dry fast and personally, I think You are good with just a 24 hour dry fast x times a year maybe once or twice, just to encourage organ function, leaving the extended fasts to encompass water consumption. But ya aside from that, during the fast alot of meditation, relaxation music is great. I use stingray music streaming with the meditation, rainfall, and nature channels. When im fully bored with meditating and dont want to stare into space anymore, I'll read my ePub books, write rhymes/music, watch youtube or T.V. ( just try to avoid shows on eating because thatll just dissuade You from the cause at hand ) . Some things to watch for on the fast is sitting up before standing up. Your blood sugar gets extremely low on extended fasts, and if You go from lying to standing You will certainly get a head rush and fall over. if You arent careful with this, and the head rush is bad enough, it can be pretty bad, to the point where You fall onto the floor and take like 5 or 10 seconds to recover. Even if this happens though, just remember youll be fine, your body is just adjusting to functioning within these restricted parameters. When re-feeding after an extended fast, write down what You ate and at what time, and try to adhere to some sort of protocol, as spiking the insulin too many times a day can lead to binge eating. But ya thats about it for Me.

Wishing You all peace prosperity health and wellness going into 2023 and I hope You find what Youre looking for. _peace
one last thing I forgot to add. Psyllium husk is the best product ive found at pulling out mucoid plaque and other debris from the G.I. tract. if You do a half teaspoon to a teaspoon ( add it into a smoothie which is done blending, at the end of the blend, then blend it another 10 to 15 seconds ) , twice a day for say three days, after doing the fruit/juicing/smoothies etc for a month or two, almost all the plaque will be forced out the G.I. tract. Without psyllium I had gone several months on only smoothies but it didnt seem to want to come out until I introduced it into the regime.
Starting over at 75… okay!! How amazing!
