SUGGESTED GUIDELINES FOR
DETOXIFYING SPIRIT, SOUL,
AND BODY
By Dr. Cindy Trimm
In consultation with Dr. Paula Walker M.D.
A PERSONAL WORD FROM
DR. CINDY TRIMM
If you are reading this, you are taking part in the 40 Day Soul Fast. Please remember the purpose of the Soul Fast is to eliminate the toxins in your soul, not your body. However, because the body and soul are interconnected, what is good for one is good for the other! I encourage you to take this opportunity to cleanse and detox your body even as you dedicate yourself to cleansing and detoxifying your soul.
The Body of Christ is longing for detoxification on so many levels. That is demonstrated by the large number of people who have asked me for information about detoxifying their entire system as they pursue this 40 Day Soul Fast. I pray it will be a useful tool to help you along your “life-cleansing” journey.
Remember, Jesus said, “It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean…but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean…whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean” (Matthew 15:11, 18 AMP).
If you choose to pursue a physical fast along with the Soul Fast, please don’t become distracted or burdened by the demands of a restrictive fasting regimen. I would encourage you to prayerfully allow God to lead you into laying aside whatever is keeping you from thinking more clearly, having more energy, or pursuing Him more fully. I would suggest along with fasting unhealthy foods, you fast unhealthy thoughts—as you give up toxic eating habits, give up toxic behaviors. It is more destructive to your soul to engage in gossip or complaining than it is to eat gravy or cupcakes.
The primary aim of the 40 Day Soul Fast is to “lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12:1 NKJV). The weights of negative thought habits and toxic verbal behaviors tie you down and keep you vulnerable to sin. The debris in your mind and the junk coming out of (not going into) your mouth are what keep you stagnated and going around in circles. These are the toxins that prevent you from running with endurance and fulfilling your divine purpose—and cause so many to abort their God-given dreams.
If exercising the discipline of fasting unhealthy foods will help you be more mindful of exercising the discipline of fasting unhealthy thoughts, then let the two work together synergistically to help you bring your spirit, soul, and body into alignment. It is for this reason I am making this guide available—to help you learn to cleanse and renew your body even as you cleanse and renew your mind! May you be empowered for life and empowered to live beyond your limits!
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
When this vision came to me, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three whole weeks. All that time I had eaten no rich food. No meat or wine crossed my lips, and I used no fragrant lotions until those three weeks had passed (Daniel 10:2-3 NLT).
This is the kind of fast day I’m after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace; free the oppressed; cancel debts. What I’m interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on, and your lives will turn around at once. Your righteousness will pave your way. The God of glory will secure your passage. Then when you pray, God will answer. You’ll call out for help and I’ll say, “Here I am.”
If you get rid of unfair practices, quit blaming victims, quit gossiping about other people’s sins, if you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out, your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. I will always show you where to go. I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places—firm muscles, strong bones. You’ll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You’ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again (Isaiah 58:6-12 MSG).
It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart (Mark 7:15 NLT).
Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you? Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)
And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you” (Mark 7:18-23 NLT).
We work to feed our appetites. Meanwhile our souls go hungry (Ecclesiastes 6:7 MSG).
THE “FAST” WAY TO HEALING AND HEALTH
Some people wear out one set of teeth digging their way to the grave, only to buy a false set of teeth to complete the task of eating themselves to death. — Author Unknown
Fasting—traditionally seen as a spiritual activity—is increasingly being used as a method to improve physical, mental, and emotional health. It is an ever-increasing belief that fasting not only helps to relieve the body of toxins, but also stimulates and increases spiritual awareness and produces growth hormones, which postpones the aging process. The search for health goes on unceasingly, and fasting has helped many to achieve it.
Contrary to what our minds may tell us, the body can function for seven days without water and forty days without food. I am not asking you to go forty days without food, but I do encourage you to practice one of the fasting options offered below for the duration of the 40 Day Soul Fast. I believe your soul will benefit from any cleansing taking place in your body—and vice versa! “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 1:2 NKJV).
The following information is intended to give you a variety of options you can pursue, some general guidelines to follow, an array of basic information to consider, and other helpful tools you can use to cleanse your life—body, soul, and spirit.
Cleanse and nourish your body by avoiding all toxic products and unwholesome foods and hydrating sufficiently—no less than eight glasses of water per day!
Cleanse and nourish your soul by avoiding all toxic media and unwholesome entertainment—hydrate your soul by drinking from the fountain of the Word daily!
Cleanse and nourish your spirit by avoiding toxic places and unwholesome people— hydrate your spirit by praising and worshiping God whenever possible.
Be good to yourself—your true, authentic self—your soul.
Read The Creed provided at the back of this booklet everyday for the next 40 days.
*For the next 40 days, set aside 40 minutes each day to invest in the life of your soul.
WEEKLY:
DAILY:
DETOX YOUR WHOLE SELF
Any good health program should include a system for detoxifying—or cleansing—the body of toxins. Detoxing is the process of removing harmful toxins from the body—the whole body—including the heart and mind.
You haven’t completely detoxed until you’ve detoxed in the following ways:
PSYCHOLOGICALLY
An individual’s psychological state of being will be a determining factor in overall physical health. People who are constantly under stress from career, lifestyle, financial, or marital pressures need to take time out to give not only the body a rest, but also the mind. Create space for “down-time” to relieve the mind of anything that causes undue stress and meditate on positive things.
It has been found that psychological and emotional symptoms are directly associated with excess toxins in the body. Create a peaceful atmosphere for yourself while focusing on detoxifying your system. Here are some pointers:
EMOTIONALLY
The heavy demands that we are all subject to in today’s world may give rise to stress, anxiety, mood swings, depression, tension, poor memory, forgetfulness, irritability, negativity, mental exhaustion, etc. and may render us less objective and effective in handling the affairs of the day. As you detox your body, detox your thoughts:
A NOTE FROM DR. PAULA WALKER
After prayer and consideration of the various factors involved in regards to the unique circumstances of the many individuals participating in the cleansing program (such as their health status, medication regimens, high-demand work schedules, rigorous lifestyles, personal fasting history, and so on), here are my suggestions for undergoing a long-term cleansing-type fast.
I do not recommend total fasting from food and liquid, especially water. The body needs at least two quarts of water each day to sustain life. The body can only go a few days without water. That being said, total fasting would be unsafe.
For the purpose of a 40-day fast, I do not recommend limiting intake to water-only. While water-only fasting has therapeutic benefits in certain cases where there is inflammation in the body (such as in cases of Osteoarthritis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, etc.), in general, water-only fasts are not well tolerated for extended periods of time and the liver (the detoxifying organ of the body) is mostly unsupported during a water-only fast. Also, water-only fasts are often associated with an unpleasant weakness that is counterproductive for active individuals. Furthermore, water-only fasts may lead to low potassium levels. Low potassium can cause life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias or abnormal heart rhythms. For these reasons, I would suggest eliminating this type of fast as an option.
Some options I would suggest for a 40 day fasting period would be the following:
FOR THE EXPERIENCED FASTER:
THE MASTER CLEANSER FAST
Only consume water and the Master Cleanser beverage (recipe provided below) throughout the entire 40-day process. If an individual is on medication, he or she must consult his or her physician and follow the medication recommendations put forth by his or her doctor. Physician consultation is necessary because some medications will preempt one’s ability to fast while other medications can be safely taken during a fast.
FOR THE INTERMEDIATE FASTER: A PARTIAL FAST
This option can include a sunup to sundown alternative—the faster can eat from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and then do a water-only fast from 6:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. With this model, eating is done during the day when the faster is actively engaged in activities and can use the additional dietary fuel and burn the excess calories, but this option can also be implemented vice versa with fasting occurring from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. with eating beginning after 6:00 P.M.
Or, otherwise on this partial fast, the individual may eat only fruits and vegetables (during a specified time window) and drink water only during the entire 40-day fast; organic fruits and vegetables should be used when possible. The fruits and vegetables that are consumed should be consumed from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon only. The individual can eat any variety or version of fruits and vegetables. After 12:00 noon, the individual should abstain from all whole fruit and vegetable intake. During the remaining 20 hours of the day (12:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M.), preferably only water should be consumed. The Master Cleanser beverage may also be consumed, if the faster desires a cleansing, healthful beverage as an alternative to water. During the 20 hour water-only fasting period of each day, if the faster experiences overwhelming cravings that are unsatisfied by water or the Master Cleanser beverage, he or she should go ahead and have a serving of fruit and/or vegetables at that time and as needed.
Again, if an individual is on medication, he or she should consult his or her physician and follow the medication recommendations put forth by his or her doctor. Physician consultation is necessary because some medications will preempt one’s ability to fast while other medications can be safely taken during a fast.
During this partial fast, it is suggested that no other food items be consumed besides any variety or version of fresh fruits and vegetables. No other beverages, other than those stated, should be consumed. All sodas, fruit juices, sweet tea, lemonade, coffee, lattes, and other drinks are to be avoided.
FOR THE BEGINNER FASTER: THE DANIEL FAST
The individual would eat no meat, no sweets and no bread. Throughout the 40 days, the individual would eat any variety or version of fruits, vegetables, legumes (peas, beans, nuts, etc) and certain dietary fibers, such as brown rice, steel-cut oatmeal (without butter, sugar, or other condiments), and drink water only as desired throughout the day. Meal variation may include a vegetable/legume plate with several servings of vegetables constituting one meal (e.g. squash, green beans, cabbage, and black eye peas, etc.), salads, vegetable soups, whole fruits, grilled vegetables, bean soup, vegetable and bean casserole, etc.
If an individual is on medication, he or she should continue to take them, unless directed otherwise by a physician. Physician consultation is necessary because some medications will preempt one’s ability to fast while other medications can be safely taken during a fast.
This fast is recommended for the beginning faster as well as for Type II Diabetics, who have received medical clearance from their doctors to participate in the fast. Type II Diabetics should consult their physician about possible adjustments to their blood-sugar lowering medication regimen during the fasting season to avoid episodes of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
FOR FASTERS OF ALL LEVELS: THE JUICE FAST
For this type of fast, the individual will need a juicer and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Juice fasting is beneficial for the body. It supports the liver and the detoxification process. It’s less strenuous and it doesn’t produce any undesirable weakness or fatigue. No solid foods will be consumed on this fast, just the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables and water. Organic produce is preferable and should be used whenever possible. Again, juices should be freshly prepared. No commercial fruit or vegetable juices should be used during the fast such as V-8, Tropicana, Snapple, etc.
If an individual is on medications, he or she should consult his or her physician and follow the medication recommendations put forth by his or her doctor. Physician consultation is necessary because some medications will preempt one’s ability to fast while other medications can be safely taken during a fast.
For fresh fruit and vegetable juice recipes, I recommend Dr. Don Colbert’s book entitled, Toxic Relief. The book may be purchased at any book retailer.
All of the above fasts are easy on the digestive system and will give the gastrointestinal system a Sabbath from the work and energy of digesting food. Since energy will not be expended by digesting dense foods, more energy will be available for other activities. In essence, the faster will feel energized! More importantly, all of the above fasts represent a sacrifice of some kind so the fasting option choice is a personal one, based on health status and the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit. God will honor the sacrifice!
Lastly, as part of the guidelines, please be advised that if you have questions or concerns about anything related to your health, you must consult your physician prior to beginning any type of fast. Any individual who has health issues or concerns in general about his or her physical ability to fast should consult his or her physician before beginning the fast.
The above fasting options are offered solely as suggestions. Anyone who follows them does so voluntarily and is advised to consult their physician beforehand. Since each individual will react differently to each fasting option, each person must use his or her own judgment as to its use and continuation throughout the proposed 40-day period.
FASTING GUIDELINES
Prior to beginning any type of fast, each participant should consult with his or her doctor.
As wonderful of a tool as fasting is for health and cleansing and detoxification purposes, there are some individuals who have certain conditions where fasting is contraindicated or prohibited.
Please keep the following in mind if you are considering the pursuit of a fast:
Medications should not be discontinued abruptly. If a fasting participant is on medicine, he or she should consult his or her physician regarding possible adjustments to the medication regimen during the fasting regimen.
If the participant develops exacerbation of an existing medical illness or begins to develop adverse reactions or worrisome symptoms of any kind, he or she should discontinue the fast immediately and consult his or her physician immediately.
Distilled water is used for the Master Cleanser recipe; otherwise, if the faster is consuming water for hydration purposes with the other fasting options, spring or filtered water may be consumed.
Organic produce should be used whenever possible where fruits and vegetables are listed in the fasting options.
Fasters should be compassionate and gentle with themselves. During the fast, if they fall off the wagon and consume a restricted food or dietary item, they should acknowledge the detour (and enjoy it) and get back on the fast as soon as possible.
How you end a fast is just as important as how you start and conduct one. A typical post-fasting regimen for breaking a fast would look like the following, starting with the first day after the fast:
Day 1: Eat fresh fruit, especially fruits with the highest water content because these are the easiest to digest and assimilate. Note: On Day 1, avoid tropical fruits, such as pineapples and papayas, since these contain strong enzymes that might upset your stomach.
Day 2: You may have a combination of fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the day. For instance, you might choose to have fresh fruit for breakfast followed by vegetable soup for lunch and dinner.
Day 3: You will follow a similar diet as outlined for Day 2.
Day 4: You may add to the various fruits and vegetable soups a salad and/or a baked potato.
Day 5: Building on the diet from the previous four days, you may now introduce a small serving of lean (preferably organic) meat, such as chicken, turkey, or fish.
MASTER CLEANSER RECIPE*
The most convenient way to make the Master Cleanser beverage is by the gallon—that way it will last throughout the day.
You will need:
Take the gallon of water and remove two cups of the water and place it aside in a separate, clean pitcher. To the remaining water in the gallon of distilled/spring water add the lemon juice, grade B maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Afterwards, reintroduce the two cups of water to the gallon of distilled/spring water until the gallon bottle is full; lastly shake the gallon bottle to thoroughly mix the contents. The Master Cleanser beverage is now ready to be consumed. Additional grade B maple syrup may be added to taste. Refrigerate the unused portion of the Master Cleanser beverage to maintain its freshness.
One may drink as much of the Master Cleanser beverage as desired.
Here is the recipe for one 16 oz. glass or mug (may be consumed cold or hot):
2 TBSP fresh lemon juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2 TBSP genuine grade B maple syrup
1/10 tsp cayenne pepper (red pepper)
10-16 oz distilled, spring, or purified water
Combine the lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a large glass or mug and fill with cold or hot water.
HOW TO BREAK THE MASTER CLEANSER FAST
Day 1 and Day 2: Drink several 8 oz. glasses of fresh orange juice as desired throughout the day. The orange juice prepares the digestive system to properly digest and assimilate regular food. Drink it slowly. If there has been any digestive difficulty prior to or during the changeover, extra water may be taken with the orange juice.
Day 3: Orange juice in the morning. Raw fruit should be consumed for lunch. Fruit or vegetable salad at night. You are now ready to eat normally.
