Refer to the Schedule and Daily Details page for more information (linked below). BACK TO TOP _______________________________________________________________________________________________ THE FOLLOW-UP: PARASITE and LIVER CLEANSING After the colon cleanse, you will undergo an important two-part follow-up period of cleansing a. Do not cut the process short by stopping when all the colon cleanse capsules are gone, or after the three weeks have ended. The follow-up period plays an important role toward total, complete cleansing and the stbility of your health. Stay on schedule and follow the instructions meticulously . PARASITE CLEANSE is a three-week follow-up cycle, which rids the body of parasites that might have survived the colon cleanse, consists of 20 days of capsules, taken twice daily LIVER CLEANSE is a much longer cycle of follow-up, which eventually clears the liver of residual material and restores it to optimal condition. Dr. Hopkins will determine a specific regimen for this LIVER CLEANSE, so make sure you have contacted him before the PARASITE CLEANSE is over. Refer to the Schedule and Daily Details page for more information (linked below). BACK TO TOP _______________________________________________________________________________________________ LIQUID INTAKE Sufficient water intake, hydration, is essential to proper health. You must maintain proper levels of water, and in some cases, increase intake above your normal amount. • Normal hydration is one half your weight in ounces of liquids per day (water or clear, unsweetened (no artificial sweeteners) liquids containing no caffeine). Formula: YOUR WEIGHT (in lbs) x 0.5 = LIQUID OUNCES OF WATER per DAY Example: 150 x 0.5 = 75 oz of water per day. • IMPORTANT: Maintain above-normal hydration throughout the 15 days of the colon cleanse regimen. The additional amount compensates for the liquid needed by the colon cleanse ingredients. Use the formula above, then add one or two 8 oz. glasses of liquid per day to the result. • Hydration with water is important, but just as important is what kind of water you drink. For the colon cleanse and amended fast period: Water = Bottled Distilled or Spring. Tap water, or bottled "municipal" source water, defeats the purpose of the cleanse, so do not use! • If you use DISTILLED water, make sure you are ingesting minerals through your supplements, or stir-in additives, which provide trace minerals missing from distilled water. An excellent source is Cell Food® (see below). Lemon juice and essential oils may also be added. Speak with Dr. Hopkins for more information about the types of water you may consume during this time. For a complete discussion of proper hydration, see the HOPKINS HARDCORE GUIDE TO GOOD HEALTH.
