Preparing For A Juice Fast: How Do You Know If A Juice Fast Is For You?
Here's a little chart to show you the stage you are at with your health. Most diseases start from a simple inflammation or a discharge that you would ignore (see Stage 1 in chart below). Then you start feeling fatigue, constipated, have a headache, or lower backache or even simple skin blemishes. These are all signs of the beginning of poor health (see Stage 2 in chart below). If at this stage, you start to realize and take action and start eating and living healthy, there might yet be hope that your problem may be reversed. Your annual medical check may give you a clean bill of health. The common misconception is that if you were not sick enough to see a doctor then you were "healthy". When the doctor declares that you have high-blood pressure or cholesterol, or you have asthma or worse, serious joint pains or even tumors, you would already be at Stage 3 where you chronically encounter very poor and weak health. | | Development of Chronic and Degenerative Diseases | | | | Acute Stage of Elimination | Sub-Acute (Poor Health) | Chronic | Extreme Chemical Deficiency Degeneration | | | | Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | Stage 4 | | | | * Inflammation * Discharge * Fever * Colds | * Fatigue * Blocked Nose * Overweight * Headaches * Lower Back Pain * Skin Blemishes * Piles * Constipation * Digestive Disorders * Hormonal Imbalance | * Migraine * Arthritis * High Blood Pressure * High Cholesterol * Skin Problems * Serious Back Pain * Ulcers * Asthma * Weak Sexual Impulses * Sinusitis * Tumors/Cysts/ Fibroids * Endometriosis * Infertility | * Heart Disease * Stroke * Diabetes * Kidney Disease * Liver Problems * Gall Bladder Disease * Serious Arthritis and Gout * Serious Skin Problems * Impotence * Lymphatic & Cellula Dysfunction * Cancer | | | | Note: Information extracted from "You Can Regain Youth & Health Through Detoxification and Rejuvenation" by Dr Lynn Tan. | |
