<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">“R<span style="color: #ff6600;">A</span>V<span style="color: #ff0000;">I</span>S<span style="color: #ff9900;">H</span>I<span style="color: #993366;">N</span>G <span style="color: #008000;">J</span>U<span style="color: #33cccc;">I</span>C<span style="color: #ff6600;">E</span> F<span style="color: #ff0000;">A</span>S<span style="color: #339966;">T</span>!&#8221;</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><a href="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/OpenBookCover_RavJF_Fifty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1260" title="To start your own juice fast!" src="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/OpenBookCover_RavJF_Fifty.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="252" /></a></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #33cccc;">HYDRATE,</span> <span style="color: #99cc00;">ALKALIZE,</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">DETOX</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">F</span>asting on water and juices<strong> reveals a new life </strong>to you. It does to me. Each time it becomes easier to dive into juicing and each time you get more out of it. Fasting is such an ancient ritual and I remember so well when that period of 40 days was announced in school and we got a poster with 40 little windows. Each day we were allowed to open one and a “good action” was announced: “Be sweet for each other.” or… “Help your mom with the dishes”. It was fun to be sweet… Being gentle was connected to fasting. Back then it wasn’t juicing, but eating simple meals, no meat, no fish, no candy. And you know what? It felt great!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">N</span>owadays we don’t know the meaning of fasting anymore, nor do we experience all the great benefits from it. When was the last time you were really hungry? When was the last time you stopped eating before you were completely stuffed? This is how most of us are used to eat; without thinking. No wonder the body becomes exhausted and is begging for some rest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">W</span>ell, this is what a fast does. It gives your body that well needed rest to restore and rejuvenate. It is giving you the opportunity to start a new, healthier and happier lifestyle!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3856PS-e1302727044764.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1254" title="Rainbow Juices" src="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_3856PS-e1302727044764.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /></a></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">This RAVISHING JUICE FAST program is the right fit for you if you…</span></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>… are tired of being tired</li>
<li>… are longing for energy to do all the things you love doing</li>
<li>… are feeling fatigued constantly and can’t refuel your body and mind</li>
<li>… are feeling stuffed and bloated</li>
<li>… can’t lose those pounds which make you feel unhappy and uncomfortable</li>
<li>… want to make the transition to a healthier life or to raw food</li>
<li>… can’t concentrate anymore</li>
<li>… can’t think clearly anymore</li>
<li>… lost your appetite in life</li>
<li>… have skin problems</li>
<li>… have joint and muscles pains and you can’t move in the morning</li>
<li>… are suffering from ailments you can’t get rid of</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">I</span> have been there too! After I was cured of several serious diseases my body was totally exhausted. So was my mind. After each cleanse I did I felt as if I took enormous leaps forward with my health. But it was only after the last one, a <strong>water and juice fast </strong>that I could tell the difference with other cleanses. It went much deeper and more thoroughly than any other cleanse I had done. The first few days are always a bit tougher, but soon you will notice that it is well worth it! Why? Simply because it gives you so much more than you could have dreamed of…</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">Yes, I want to juice up my health and life!</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/SecureCart/SecureCart.aspx?mid=AC90E566-42CD-44F5-A0ED-7091007B1C36&amp;pid=a50ae30044f5444cbfb97d5771972b3b&amp;bn=1"><img src="http://www.mcssl.com/netcart/images/cart_buttons/cart_button_2.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">A water and juice fast is not suited if you…</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">… are on medication or recreational drugs for a health issue (during a fast you can’t take any medication)<br />
… are diabetic and on insulin for more than two years<br />
In these cases fasting may cause too much poison to flow out of the lymph fluid into the blood too quickly</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">THREE WEEKS TO RAVISHING ENERGY!</span></h2>
<h3><span style="color: #33cccc;">WEEK ONE – HYDRATE</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">From day 1 till 3 we start up transitioning from solid to liquid foods slowly</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #33cccc;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">We kick off with a tele seminar about transitioning and about water and juice fasting</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">I will give you some lovely, easy recipes for your transitioning days</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">Our one day long water fast starts on Friday after a (healthy) dinner time</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">Saturday evening we start making lovely green juices!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">Each day another ravishing recipe! (well, except for the water day)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;"><a href="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_7087.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1261" title="Water" src="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_7087-e1302779101415.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #99cc00;">WEEK TWO – ALKALINE</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;">This is our green week! Don’t worry, it won’t be boring!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;">Because you will love love <strong>love</strong> my green juice recipes!</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #99cc00;">You will learn how to be gentle with yourself during a detox and how to remove toxins faster</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><a href="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_7193PS.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1262" title="Just Green" src="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_7193PS-e1302779235280.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></span></p>

<span style="color: #ff9900;">WEEK THREE – DETOX</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">On Saturday starts our one week long, soft gallbladder flush combined with juices</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">You will receive a recipe for each day</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">On our last day I will cover your questions and talk about transitioning from juices to solid foods</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">RAVISHING POWER!</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">C</span>an you remember that first time you were riding your bike all by yourself without falling over? It felt like <strong>victory</strong>! This is the exact same feeling you get when you finish a fast successfully! You can move mountains, conquer the world… your world.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Fasting is very powerful</span></strong>: it is your own choice, something you really want because it frees you from …</p>
<ul>
<li>food addictions</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>bad eating habits</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>emotional eating</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">… and dealing with those energy consumers means that your life will feel much better. All this energy that you once needed to deal with negativism and attempts to break vicious circles is now for you! You can now think your own thoughts instead of feeling guilty each time you can’t hold on to a plan. Fasting empowers you with new mental and spiritual strength!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">K</span>nowledge is very powerful and this is why I want to share mine with you. Because once you know how to ride a bike you will never forget again. I will teach you how to drive that bike, how to get up when you fall, how to take care of yourself, how to accelerate and breathe the air, how to drive straight towards your goal.<br />
You will always have the recipes I give you, the leads I am guiding you with to do it on your own, the attractive and juicy handouts you will get, the MP3′s of our teleclasses and Q&amp;A call. These are all very valuable materials, made especially for you to re-use each time you commit to another fast. They are timeless.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">W</span>hen I woke up I had no idea what time it was. It was too dark, too silent, too weary to get up. I notice that I am even more sensitive than ever to the changing hours in autumn. Only one hour, but my whole system still seems disturbed after a week. Even the metabolic clock of my pets is messed up; they start waiting for food one hour earlier than usual.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<div id="attachment_924" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IMG_3844-e1289135736887.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-924" title="Coconut" src="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IMG_3844-e1289135736887.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Electrolytes!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">I </span>was wondering what to do about it when it struck me. I would start my day with an electrolyte shock to awaken and coop with the dark weather. So I jumped out of the bed, showered, dressed and took one of my fresh Thai coconuts out of the refrigerator. I grabbed my impressive meat cleaver -with which I will never cleave meat!- and chopped off the coconuts head.  Hmm, have to make a picture of this, I thought. I have to write about all these electrolytes in only one glass! Have you never wondered how this energizing water gets into this heavenly nut? I did!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<div id="attachment_928" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IMG_3923-e1289138750638.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-928" title="Eloctroytes in a glass" src="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IMG_3923-e1289138750638.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Electrolytes in a glass</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">I</span> found the answer when I was reading David Wolfe&#8217;s book &#8220;Superfoods&#8221;. What is so beautiful about coconuts is that they carry and nurture their water as a human pregnancy. Almost nine months is how long it takes to filter each quart in that hard shell. Which must make you wonder how it got there in the first place. Let me quote the master himself here because I can&#8217;t think of other words: &#8220;The water rises through innumerable fibers which purify the water before it ends up in the sterile nut.&#8221;  This water is the most powerful water in nature because of the highest levels of electrolytes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">M</span>oreover young coconut water is very similar to the structure of our blood plasma and therefor was even used in  the Pacific battles of World War II as blood transfusion for wounded soldiers. Coconut water in our veins?? Our blood exists of about 55% of plasma (about the same structure as coconut water) and 45% of hemoglobin (for the transportation of oxygen). This hemoglobin is &#8220;essentially transformed plant blood&#8221;, chlorophyll. So this means that when you make yourself a drink of fresh coconut water (55% plasma) mixed with fresh green leaf juice or the by Dr. Ann Wigmore recommended wheatgrass juice (45% hemoglobin), you will treat your body on a blood transfusion. Isn&#8217;t this amazingly easy?!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<div id="attachment_929" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IMG_3952.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-929" title="Blood Transfusion" src="http://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IMG_3952-e1289140071159.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Blood Transfusion</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">I</span>f you can&#8217;t imagine that you will be able to drink a combination like this, let me give you these very simple yet lovely tips.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Use coconut water as the base of your smoothies. It is delicious and will sweeten it up.</li>
<li>Take a glass of coconut water and add one table spoon of &#8220;green superfood&#8221; which is packed with the chlorophyll of barley, wheatgrass, broccoli, spirulena, chlorella and many others. This is what I did here and it tastes&#8230; heavenly!</li>
<li>Drink this is the morning on an empty stomach if you want the full benefits of it and a quick absorption in the blood.</li>
<li>Oh, and give this magic drink to your children before they take off to school! They will be fit and concentrated and love the taste because it is very sweet.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">M</span>y body is tingling now and my mind is clear. (I drank the green version while I was writing). The effect of this booster is almost immediately. It only takes five minutes to feel your blood pump. So get those young Thai coconuts, grow your grass, juice your greens and get in tune with your body!</p>
