week two

 what to do
 You should follow exactly the same guidelines as for week one but increase the percentage of raw fruit and vegetables so that they make up 70 per cent of your daily food intake. In addition, you should avoid eating after seven o’clock in the evening.
 l To accelerate the detoxification process, drink 150 ml dandelion infusion (page 117), three times a day. Or drink 50 ml artichoke leaf wine (page 121) at lunchtime and early evening.
 l Take propolis tablets to help to reduce bacterial activity in the gut. Follow the dosage intructions on the package.

 how to succeed
 l Drink as much herbal tea as you like after seven o’clock in the evening.
