One Day Detox Frequently Asked Questions*

Do I need to take the workshop in order to do the detox program?

We highly recommend participation in the workshop. Not only do you receive valuable take-home materials, you will learn how the systems of the body work and ways to help those systems perform at their highest level of efficiency.  This is the support you will need to move to an increasingly healthy lifestyle. In addition, you will be together with people doing the same activity, yet having slightly different experiences. This support is invaluable to anyone who has never fasted before and especially those who could use  encouragement for completion (the tea is ingested on a timed schedule).  Many people choose to take the workshop the first time and do the subsequent detoxes on their own once they know what to expect.

Will I experience any ill effects or a “healing crisis” while drinking the detox tea?

Each person’s experience will vary each time the detox tea is taken. The main variable is the level of toxicity of the body at the time.

During the detoxification process toxins move from storage in the fat cells into the bloodstream so they can be expelled from the body through elimination (which includes breathing and sweating). Some common reactions that can take place while drinking the tea include bloating, muscle cramps in legs, arms or belly (as the pH balances), a mild headache, fatigue or diarrhea. Some may experience nausea from the gall bladder squeeze due to its high oil content. Though we have heard of people experiencing some mild fatigue or diarrhea for up to three days afterward, most people report that all these symptoms are completely alleviated by the next morning. 

Why is it more beneficial to do this detox more than once?

Once you cleanse the main “filter”, the liver (which has 3 major lobes), it naturally works better!  Now the liver can clean up the toxins left in the fatty tissues of the body. Once that happens, the “filter” is then used up again. Doing this process 3 times completely detoxes the body and leaves the liver working at it’s highest efficiency.  If a person has an active disease such as asthma, diabetes or cancer, the recommended amount of cleansing increases to 5 times.

How fast can I complete the recommended program?

How fast do you want to be healthier?  The choice is yours!  The body will reset and integrate within 7 days, so you can safely do this fast once a week 3 weeks in a row!  Every other week is still effective. 

How do I stay healthy after the detox?

Our hope is that you begin to incorporate the eating program and movement into your daily life right away! If you are generally able to stay with the program (75% of the time), doing the one day detox at the start of each season will give you great results! 

How Can I expedite weight loss?

Dr. Huerta has a Two Day fast called a Tissue Cleanse which can be taken after the initial 3 tea program. This easy fast resets the metabolism and rejuvenates the body at a cellular level, helping you look younger and feel more energized!  Because this cleanse works at the molecular level, the body will have more rapid weight loss. The first time you do this cleanse you will take off 7 permanent pounds as well as curb your appetite!  This cleanse can be done once every three weeks until you reach your idea weight. (Weight loss with each subsequent Tissue Cleanse varies with individuals.  I have averaged 5 pounds each time.) Once you reach your ideal weight, we recommend the One Day Detox seasonally for best results.

I take medications prescribed by my doctor.  Can I take them the day of the detox?*

It is most beneficial for you to be in a comfortable emotional state when doing the detox. You may choose to take your prescribed medications in order to avoid stress or worry.  Because the body is able to process toxins more efficiently after the cleanse, one of the most wonderful results people realize is that they can take a reduced dosage of their prescribed medications! You must consult your prescribing physician and take any necessary diagnostic tests before reducing medications.

Do I need dietary supplements?

If you are eating a complete diet high in fiber, raw fruits and vegetables and keeping a balanced pH in your digestive system, supplementation would be unnecessary. Dehydrated and encapsulated supplements are not easily digestible or readily absorbable.  The best results of supplementation we have seen is with live food products.  Examples of effective live food supplementation include:

• Himalayan Crystal Saltt Sole has 84 minerals immediately absorbable in the body and creates a balanced pH.
• Fresh wheat grass juice provides 30 different food enzymes and 17 amino acids.
• Noni fruit contains xeronine, an alkaloid that works at the molecular level to repair damaged cells, having a wide variety of beneficial physiological effects. Note that Noni is most often sold as a pasteurized juice.   The process of pasteurization changes the molecular structure, creating a “non-live” food product.
• Fresh berries (any variety) are chock-full of antioxidants!  Want young looking skin? Eat berries three times a day!If you have any further questions, we would be delighted to answer them for you. Please call us at (512) 388-2243 during business hours.
