Instructions

  1. Herb Supplements, Bath Detox and Diet

    • 1

      Take two to three mashed garlic cloves and stir fry for two minutes in olive oil. Mix in with other dishes. For best results, eat raw garlic cloves.

    • 2

      Boil 36 oz of water. Mix in fresh green tea leaves (not bagged). Steep for 15 minutes. Consume throughout the entire day.

    • 3

      Fill tub with as hot water as you can handle. Mix in 1 1/2 cup Epsom salts, 1/2 cup baking soda, and 1/2 cup ginger juice. Sit in tub for 25 to 30 minutes or until you start to perspire. Sweat for at least five minutes. Rinse immediately to prevent re-absorption of toxins. Wrap yourself in full body robe or towel so you will continue to sweat for the next half hour to an hour.

    • 4

      Take 230 to 600 mg of milk thistle two to three times a day. Consume with a full glass of water and do not eat or drink 30 minutes before or after for full absorption in the bloodstream.

    • 5

      Drink 1 oz of wheatgrass juice per day for one week. Take on an empty stomach and do not eat anything for at least 30 minutes. After one week, consume 1 oz twice a day.
