How-To-Fast, John Rose Protocol
1. Recommended Drinking Amounts per Day:
Rule of thumb is 1 gallon, regardless of what type of juice you choose. Some
juices have less calories than others such as watermelon so you will probably be
inclined to drink more of it. If energy levels are low you probably need a little
more juice.
Caloric intake for Men: 1500-1800
Caloric intake for Women: 1200-1500
It is common to drink fruit juice throughout the day for the bulk of calories and to
add a green juice at night to get a wider diversity of minerals and to vary flavor.
2) Pooping
The bowels need to be moving at least once per day. If there is constipation,
headache, nausea, or other ill effects that may be caused by the natural process
of detoxification it is recommended to use water enema as many times as
needed.
3) Supplements
EFAs: Take 1-2 tablespoons of Flax or Hemp oil daily depending if you are a man
or a woman. 10g of fat should be daily minimum to prevent any type of
Gallbladder issues. EFAs can be consumed by themselves or mixed with juices at
any point in the day.
Chanca Piedra “The Stone Breaker”: An herb which help get the kidneys filtering.
Urine should have color to ensure sufficient filtering of the kidneys. Water intake
may be too high if urine is completely clear, or kidneys may not be filtering
properly. Optional.
Bentonite Clay & Psyllium Husk Mixtures: Completely optional however may
speed up the process of removing mucoid plaque and other debris from the GI
tract. Psyllium may also be used to firm up prolonged bouts of diarrhea.
Breaking the Fast / Re-Feed Schedule
1. Divide number of days fasted by 4. This should be the amount of days you
will require to correctly break the fast. Typically 6 days is the longest it
should take to break a fast even if you’ve gone longer than 24 days.
2) However many days you are required to break the fast, split it into 3
sections. For this example we will assume you require 6 days to break a long
fast.
First Section (2 days of time):
Day 1: Place 8oz of Prunes in a container with 16oz water to soak overnight. They
will swell to around 14oz wet. Consume prune juice and prunes for first meal.
First bowel movement can be expected within 1 hour and 15 minutes. You should
see Prune particles in stool ideally in under 3 hours with a clean system. If you
start to have immediate bowel movements after consuming the prunes or if
prunes are taking more time to come out, original juicing protocol should be
resumed for best results. Make sure to consume juice for the rest of each day to
fill out caloric intake.
Day 2: You will still be only consuming one solid meal but you may move to juicy
fruits if Day 1 was a success. Continue consuming juice throughout the day. Make
sure that the fruit you consumed is eliminated before moving into Day 3 protocol.
Second Section (2 days of time): Eat 2 fruit meals on each of the days. Continue
drinking juices to fill out calories. Make sure that all fruit meals are being
eliminated within a day. At this point you should be able to identify exactly which
fruit you had consumed when you see it come out. If fruits are eliminating as they
should, move onto Third Section.
Third Section (2 days of time): A salad can be added in addition to the 2 fruit
meals each day. Salads should be simple with no more than 3 ingredients. No fat
or oils yet to make it easiest to digest. The vegetables in the salads will be harder
to eliminate than the fruit. If you do not see the salad being eliminated within a
day, then you should back off the salads and go back to two fruit meals each day.
Continue drinking juice as needed if eliminations slow down or you need more
calories.
