Go on a raw vegetable diet for a few weeks, and include “green drinks”. Lots of chlorophyll is needed in fresh juice and tablet form. Wheatgrass or barley juice is good for the colon and for added chlorophyll. Alfalfa liquid is very good.
To purify the blood, avoid white flour and all sugars. Also leave heated fats and oils out of the diet for a month.
