  • 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.
