Welcome to LIFE in a HUMAN BODY. Covid appears to be a wake-up call for all of us, as we are facing great change and uncertainty of our future. It has helped me, personally to boil down what is truly important now and going forward. I knew conclusively that a short practical book on DETOXIFICATION USING JUICE FASTING, could be really helpful to others. Even just a few days could bring people into more clarity about their body and what it actually needs to boost it’s immunity. Since I couldn’t meet with people in person, I could help them do a detoxification program online. This e-book offers a concise protocol of a very practical, time-honored system to detoxify yourself. When you embark on this healing practice, you could need support. Here is my information. Jill Ayn Schneider, BA, LMT can guide you successfully through this process. [email protected]
Fasting is a completely natural healing therapy that has been used for thousands of years to aid, treat, and sometimes even cure many common maladies. It creates the same healing effects today. And while modern medicine so often attempts to alleviate outer symptoms of a health condition, fasting affects healing from the inside out, getting to the actual source of the condition, helping to burn inferior cells and build new healthier cells and tissues. Our bodies are capable of instigating their own perfect healing if we allow them the opportunity. Fasting is such an opportunity. www.allaboutfasting.com

WHERE TO START?
ou have the desire to live and even thrive with the best health ever. Start with the basics. The body has Y the ability to make corrections. Realize that… you can listen to your body’s needs your respect for yourself comes first getting in the kitchen can be fun and productive our body needs nutrition, hydration and rest. our body, mind and spirit are in alignment
Planning a One Month Protocol: Liquids of organic fruits and vegetables are highly infused with vitamins and minerals. There are also living enzymes, which digest and assimilate those vitamins and minerals, as your blood carries that nutrition throughout your body. You are giving your body a tremendous opportunity to release many unnecessary toxins, viruses, bacteria, fungus, and more. Your digestive system now has the supreme job of being the garbage collector and making sure it gets this toxic debris out of your body as quickly as possible. The results are worth some slight gassy discomfort you might be feeling during this process. These liquid juices and blended smoothies will be stirring up the bowels to enable debris to be released. Unless you are already eating a very clean plant-based regime, I wouldn't recommend that you start a liquid fast straight away. There will have to be some preparation by eating light nutritious raw fruits and vegetables for a week along with fresh organic juices. See if you can take 5 - days off from your regular busy schedule. You can still do some work, but just slow down. Get quiet, drink only juices, smoothies, water, broth, tea and carve out time to rest, exercise, breathe deeply, do yoga, shop for best fresh ingredients and prepare the juices. One of my most successful clients from a few years ago, began to make changes about a month before she came to a group retreat with me in Florida. She had already cleaned up her kitchen, set up her juicer and purchased a Vita Mix. She began adding juices and smoothies to her regular menu, so that when she returned home, she stayed focused and kept on eating mostly raw, drinking juices and smoothies and having one moderate meal per day of solid foods. Pre-Fast Week During this Pre-Fast, drink two raw, organic vegetable based juices and a smoothie a day. Cravings will lessen. Water is a critical addition to the cleansing process, but try to drink pure water 15 minutes before or after other liquids (not cold). Limit snacks to fruits, nuts and seeds, chewed well. General Plan:
one week of the cleansing pre-fast one week of just liquids of juice/smoothies/broth post-fast one to two weeks eating small amounts of well-chewed organic mostly plant-based food for the ideal health which you desire 2
JUICERS AND BLENDER
his is a purchase of great importance. Get on your browser and ask “Reviews of Juicers” Reviews of T Blenders.” A juicer extracts juice and leaves the pulp. Some people think this is wasteful. If you have a garden, you can make great compost with your pulp. I love the all-stainless steel Breville. ($299) It is the fastest to use, and clean up. There are many others you can look at. It can be overwhelming. It is for me. Learn how to use the juicer so that it will last a long time. The blender, on the other hand, is great for quick prep of smoothies, salad dressings, guacamole, nut milks, frozen banana ice cream, etc. I use the Vitamix, a powerful blender, which I use almost everyday. I actually know people who love the Nutribullet, or even the Osterizer with the glass container. These are very reasonably priced blenders. Adding organic powders to vegetable juices and smoothies will improve your nutritional levels of vitamins and minerals even more. 3

DAILY DETOX SCHEDULE
his is a general schedule. Work around it. Ultimately, everything depends on how you feel, but T please don’t go too long without drinking a juice or smoothie. Hunger can come on with a vengeance. 7:30 - 8 oz water/teaspoon of Baking Soda 8:00 - 1st Juice - 12 oz 8:30 - Do some Yoga 9:00 - Water with Juice of one Lemon 10:30 - 2nd Juice - 12 oz 12:00 - Vegetable Broth 12:15 - Take a walk, a nap, or read. 2:00 pm - 3rd Juice - 12 oz - Green mostly 3:00 pm - Water with Lemon 4:30 pm - 4th Juice 5:30 pm - Water with Lemon 6:00 pm - 5th Juice 7:30 pm - Water 8:30 pm - Broth - 1-2 cups warm 9:30 pm - You can take 2 capsules of EZ-Go, an herbal stool softener from Doctor’s Choice (Amazon) or a cup of Smooth Move Tea each evening. There are many other products, but don’t use mineral oil or others that contain chemicals. While cleansing, people commonly experience side effects such as headaches, fatigue, difficulty thinking, moodiness, stomach pain and hunger pangs. Be prepared for changes in bowel function. If you get a headache...lay down and rest. Massage your “Hoku” point in the webs of your hands and the points of your Large Intestine points on your feet. See chart in Chapter 6. If you are not having a bowel movement for two days in a row, take more Smooth Move Tea, E-Z Go Stool Softener or get a colonics/an enema. The purpose of the fast is to get things moving. Massage your abdominal area in a clock rise motion a few times a day to help move things along. 5
BREAKING THE FAST/FOLLOW UP
reaking the Fast: Breaking the fast is critical and should be done very slowly, eating mostly fruit, B steamed or raw leafy vegetables, salads and Green Smoothies for the first few days. LESS IS MORE! Chewing becomes a major focus when you break a fast. You will actually experience real enjoyment as you chew better and better. Your body will be very happy with this slow-motion experience. First Week of Breaking the Fast • Salads • Steamed or sautéed greens and veggies • Smoothies, juices, herb teas, wraps with a salad inside and home-made dressings • bean soup with sliced avocado • fruit and nut smoothies (soak nuts overnight), super foods like Spirulina and Moringa Second Week: • baked sweet potatoes can be eaten as is or blended into a soup • stay with the juices and smoothies • pastas made from chickpeas and lentils • salads and humus with celery sticks, carrots, etc. • brown rice or quinoa tofu, hempeh, tempeh, and other beans Eat as many raw fruits and vegetables as your body can handle (60% raw and 40% cooked is a good guideline for most people). If your digestion is very weak, you may need to eat more steamed or baked vegetables. You may want to eat cooked food at one meal and raw food at another. Remember that after a fast, your stomach has shrunk. It’s a brand new smaller stomach. You will fill up faster. You will be very digestively sensitive. Be very careful to not overeat and over stretch your stomach. You will probably come to the conclusion that you don't need as much food as you did before the fast. You are having a new relationship with your own body. This conscious way of eating, needs to be repeated once or twice a few times per year, depending on your desired weight loss. And in-between fasts, you need to eat mostly plant-based. We come from the apes, who live on raw fruits and leafy greens. They are stronger than most of the animal kingdom. Now that you have accomplished your goal of cleansing and detoxifying, I congratulate your efforts. Here are some tips to stay focused and to continue on your journey toward vibrant health and wellness. Simple Ideas: Making a plan….
I find that dressings on salads and even on pastas and grains enhance the taste and the nutrition at the same time. Check out this link: https://thefeedfeed.com/healthytasteoflife/7- creamy-dairy-free-salad-dressings Look up Vitamix recipes for desserts, sauces, etc. Out and About: Chipotle, Salads and Soups in any restaurant, bring snacks of nuts and dried fruit on any excursion, left over juice, warm tea, in a thermos. Potlucks: Bring something you will eat. Trips: Get a great cooler and use containers for planning those meals. Always consider your health first and foremost! Good luck and good life!!! 6

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
ill Ayn Schneider, BA, LMT Cancer Survivor - Detox Holistic Coach J Intuitive/Medium, Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter
BACKGROUND: Jill Ayn Schneider, BA, LMT Jill graduated American University in Washington, DC in 1966 with a BA in Education. After teaching young children for several years, and some extended travel in Europe, Nepal and India, she then settled down in Miami. In 1975, during a gynecological check up, her doctor found Class V Cervical Cancer on a PAP Test. Her doctor wanted her in the hospital immediately commenting that her cancer was very serious and she could die if she did not do as he recommended. At this time, Jill was studying the Theory of Oriental Medicine, which came to mind immediately as soon as she was diagnosed. She consulted with Dr. Ralph Alan Dale, who was teaching the Introductory Class, which she was enrolled in, at the same time of her diagnosis. At 29, Jill had been a meditator for a couple of years. Her teacher, Prem Rawat, has a beautiful system of teaching. Learn more at www.timelesstoday.com to learn more. Jill let go of all fear, while intellectually questioning Western Medicine's extreme solutions of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Instead, she went on to heal herself by using ancient protocols of Japanese Macrobiotics, Acupuncture, Herbs, Meditation and Yoga. After one month, she retested with another OBGYN, and her PAP test numbers had come half way down to normal. In order to take time off to truly focus on healing, Jill spent almost six months living and traveling in South America, which was affordable and productive. While in the jungles of Venezuela and in the high altitudes of Peru, she carried brown rice and seaweed in her backpack and one small cooking pot to prepare her simple food. Learning how to strengthen her immune system was her most important goal during this healing journey. When she returned to Miami, her PAP test numbers were normal. Two years later, in 1977, she birthed her son, Aaron. Today, his two little girls like to call her Nanny Ninja. Jill's passionate and intuitive understanding of the human body's complete potential of self-healing, led her to study Juice Fasting Detoxification. Focusing on the health of the digestive organs, the essential terrain plays a huge part in our overall health. Over the next 40 years, she has fasted at least 5-7 days, per year, while living on a mostly plant-based vegetarian diet. Since 1975, Jill has implemented many other natural modalities to support vibrant life. Jill became a Licensed Massage Therapist in Florida (#MA9313) in 1988. Jill incorporates a variety of techniques such as Barefoot Shiatsu, Energy Healing, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Intra-Oral TMJ Massage and Abdominal Massage, while working in person with fasting clients. During this time of Covid, Jill is using Online Coaching to teach others how to cleanse the body by drinking large amounts of fresh organic juices, eating raw foods, special herbal teas, spring water, green smoothies and vegetable seaweed broth, along with resting, receiving Acupuncture, Massage Therapy and Colon Hydrotherapy. Jill advises her clients to surround themselves in natural beauty of nature as much as possible. Stepping away from everyday life and shutting down the pressure of work and family obligations will encourage the body, mind and spirit to regroup. As an intuitive, she assists her clients in releasing mental and emotional fears, in her private coaching sessions. Jill Ayn Schneider is also a guitarist, and singer- songwriter. You can listen to her original songs at www.jillaynschneider.com. Many of these original songs were written from the early days of Jill's healing herself of cancer. Nothin’s Perfect has Jill’s granddaughter Alana on the chorus, recorded by Jill in her home. Jill is about to publish her Autobiography of a Revolutionary Healer as an Audiobook, Book, and an E- book.
