WHAT IS YEAST? and YES, I realize the word is perhaps grosser than "moist"

Before I get into all of this, I just want to say that the main objective of this cleanse is to STARVE it. We can do this by juicing but we can also do it via raw salads and giving our digestive system a rest during the day. Please stay tuned for more information.


What is this yeast monstrosity of which I speak of? Before I dive into more detail, just repeat to yourself during this cleanse: YEAST is a BEAST I must DEFEAsT! How's that for rhymin'? Tame the Beast (of yeast). Rhyming and mantras aside, what it actually IS, is FAR more horrifying. Think about a garbage can that is between the temperature of 40 and 100 degrees and imagine how gross it'd be to find chicken or red meat in there 9 days later. Or think about some General Tso Chicken you left in the back seat of your car, a la "Sweetest Thing" and arrived back at 10 days later. Would you pass out? Possibly hurl? You're not alone. 

Here is what you need to know: ANYTHING stored in this temperature range will only *naturally* ferment, putrefy and give off an odious stench. And more likely than not, our cells are festering with some of the waste products of the very graphic description I did not leave up to your imagination above. 

The reason *women* are far more prone to it is because we live in a toxic world-one that is growing increasingly more toxic everyday and it can wreak havoc on our endocrine system and create exogenous estrogens. This is WHY we see the onslaught of hormonally-induced cancers are targeting women at younger ages and why women are undergoing menopause far earlier than they did in previous generations. 

I plan on elaborating on this a bit more later but for now, just know that you are taming the beast when you are taking in alkalizing juices. Sorry this is so short--gotta run for now.
