Cleansing
Ben Greenfield shares his experiences with various cleansing protocols, including a detailed account of his time at the Swiss Mountain Clinic. He describes the intensive fasting and customized nutrition protocols designed to cleanse the liver and gallbladder, which included broths, teas, and vegetable juices 1. Ben humorously recounts his colonic experiences, emphasizing the importance of finding a balance in dietary choices 2.
I think what's most interesting for me is that people are different. And I kind of resisted this notion for a while. But the more I think about it, it's very clear that people have different tolerances for plant foods.

These protocols, while challenging, left him feeling significantly better, highlighting the potential benefits of such cleanses.
Extreme Therapies
Ben also discusses his experiences with extreme therapies, such as hyperthermia treatments aimed at inducing fevers to combat cancer cells. He describes the intense process of raising his body temperature to over 40 degrees Celsius and the subsequent recovery period 3. Ben's curiosity about unconventional therapies led him to try various treatments, including biophotonic therapy and microcurrent frequency treatments for liver health 4.
I could see that fever induction, based on the research I saw in hyperthermia, being pretty effective.

There is nothing more important to me than family and God.
