The Hippocrates Diet

• The Hippocratic diet is simple, natural and down to earth.
• The Hippocrates Diet allows the body to correct its problems naturally and at its own pace. Through a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and super nutritious foods such as sprouts and wheatgrass juice, all of which are prepared without cooking, the body is able to restore its internal balance—and its capacity to maintain a healthy weight, fight disease, and heal itself. 
• Added to the already nutritious fruits and vegetables are super nutritious sprouts, baby greens, chlorophyll rich wheatgrass, protein rich fermented foods, and fresh juices as a group perhaps the most nutritionally complete food available.
• Hippocratic diet are eaten in their live or uncooked state as it is found in nature- unprocessed and unchanged: the vital nutrients they offer are unchanged.
• Cooking or processing foods destroys or leaches 100 % of their enzymes and to lesser extend damage vitamins, minerals and proteins, leaving some foods devoid of nutritional value except for calories
• The Hippocratic diet is for any one who wants to improve his or her health, prevent illness and live longer
• The initial phase of Hippocratic diet is the cleansing phase and it is essential in preparing your body for the building/ maintenance phase
• Cleansing food removes blockages to a good health.
• In initial process, your entire system gets a needed rest from digestion and elimination of heavy foods
• In addition to the cleansing diet, there are a number of non dietary techniques which will help speed the dumping of poisons from your body.
• Together will prepare you for the building/ maintenance phase, which aims to remedy dietary deficiencies, tone the metabolic and digestive system, and keep you in vibrant health

Cleansing

• Stick to the cleansing regime for 2-3 weeks depending upon how you feel.
• If after a few days you feel terrible, the cleansing is probably going too fast for you and you should slow it down by adding some transitional foods back into your diet.
• If you feel no discomfort other than a little lightheadedness and mild fatigue, keep on the cleansing program for the full 2- 3 weeks.
• During this time you will notice that on some day your energy levels is super high while other days you do all you can drag yourself to work
• This fluctuation is good indicator of the cycles of cleansing your body
• As debris is released and removed from your system, your energy level surges, but as soon as your blood and organs of elimination become congested you feel tired again.
• Try to eat three meals each day, including breakfast of watermelon rind juice and watermelon red meat if available
• If not substitute apple or pear sauce or other fresh seasonal fruit or take a green drink made from a variety of sprouts, greens and vegetables.
• Between meals drink REJUVELAC (a fermented wheatberry drink) or fresh juice or chew on some vegetable sticks.
• Try to include the following foods in your meals and snacks each day:
  • Fresh fruits can be eaten between meals if you get hungry.
  • Occasionally add desserts made from fruits, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains to the menu of variety.
• To get all the essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fibers and calories as well as amino acids for building/maintenance purposes you should follow these basic guidelines for nutrition:
  • 2-3 pieces of fresh fruit or soaked dried fruit daily.
  • 2 large salads per day including a variety of salad vegetables and sprouts.
  • 6 cups of fresh alfalfa, sunflower, buckwheat (कुट्टू), mung, lentil or other sprouts either prepared in recipes or as a juice each day.
  • 3-8 ounces of seed cheese, seed sauce or seed yogurt made from sprouted or soaked seeds or nuts each day for added protein
  • At least 1 cup of one type of sprouted grain each day as bread or cereal or in salads.
  • 1-2 green drinks and 8-16 ounces of rejuvelac each day. The green drinks may be used as soup. Carrot or other vegeables juices can be used occasionally in place of green juices.
  • Drink 1-3 ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice each day.
  • 3-4 times per week use avocado, sprouted or soaked nuts, soaked dried fruit and honey for added calories.

Keeping your body clean

• Proper nutrition with enzymes intact is not enough to ensure good health and reversal of symptoms.
• A through body cleansing is just as important and even necessary before the vital nutrients in the Hippocrates diet can be made available to your cells
• By cleansing means removal of metabolic wastes and excess accumulations of foreign matters
• The accumulation of waste matter in the body and organs can set up a condition for toxemia
• This results in serious imbalances of the entire body
• If the organs are not functioning properly because they are clogged with debris, they cannot remove all the waste from blood; unable to carry more toxins in solutions; the blood forces trillions of cells to accumulate waste to capacity
• To clean up the mess it is important to open the dumps (organs) to allow the body to clean up the trash before true health or reversal of symptoms can occur.
• Waste products must be cleared off from the cells, blood and organs of the body
• The sooner this is accomplished, the sooner the body will repair itself

Enema

• Colonics per week can be used during first month with occasional use when necessary afterwards.
• The use of wheatgrass juice in enema water or as a wheatgrass implant has an even more powerful action on the colon muscles as compare to plain water.
• The high magnesium content of wheatgrass juice also purges the liver of its toxic waste
• It is best to use enema followed by wheatgrass implant early in the morning

Cleansing the kidney

• The first step in healing the kidney is to avoid all refined processed foods, salt, meat, coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco and tap water.
• The active elements in this process include: Green drinks
• Wheatgrass juice acts as a diuretic and stimulant for increased kidney filteration of waste. Its chlorophyll content helps rebuild the blood and relieves the kidney of their burden.
• Watermelon juice – diuretic effect
• Lemon juice- diuretic and antiseptic
• Beet juice tones the kidney.

Conclusion

• Hippocratic diet allows the body to correct its problems naturally and its own pace. Through a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and such super nutritious foods as sprouts and wheat grass juice all of which prepared without cooking, the body is able to restore its internal balance. As body regains its strength and vigor, its capacity to maintain its normal weight, fight disease, and heal its is enhanced.
