Advanced 3:6:9 Cleanse
An all new version of the 3:6:9, the Advanced is for people who feel they are in critical health circumstances. You know best whether you fall into this category of a chronic issue impeding your health on a critical level, meaning that your symptoms interfere with your normal way of living and get in the way of experiencing life to its full capacity. The Advanced 3:6:9 Cleanse offers the opportunity to reach a deeper cleanse state for relief.
Still safe and gentle, the Advanced is more intense than the Original and Simplified in order to help you release larger quantities of toxins. People who are dealing with more critical issues are also dealing with more aggressive and antagonistic toxins built up in their systems, whether toxic heavy metals that have oxidized or neurotoxins and dermatoxins from viruses, and that’s why they’re so sick. The Advanced 3:6:9 Cleanse is here to sweep out the volumes of poison that are holding back that person who’s hurting badly so it can quickly move them forward.
This cleanse is also for those who have tried the 28-Day Cleanse from Medical Medium and seen results from it, and want a version of the 3:6:9 that speaks to them. With special meals and a steady rhythm一it’s the most straightforward of the 3:6:9 Cleanse versions—it allows those who resonate with eating all raw fruits and vegetables to tap into the 3:6:9 Cleanse like never before.
THE 3, THE 6, AND THE 9: ADVANCED
The meal options for the Advanced are the most streamlined of the 3:6:9. That’s to help you find your flow as you navigate the cleanse meals and beverages while avoiding radical fats.
The main rhythm of this cleanse comes from the increases in celery juice, going from 24 ounces in the morning for the first three days to 32 ounces in the morning for the second three days to 32 ounces twice a day for the final three days.(And if you do the cleanse multiple times in a row, you up those initial 24 ounces to 32.) Leading your body through these gentle increases, combined with the specified nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest, fat-free, raw meals, gives your liver all the coaxing it needs to get ready for release on the signature Day 9.
In the Advanced 3:6:9 Cleanse, the body still moves through the shifts of The 3, The 6, and The 9 that you read about in the Original and Simplified, this time able to address the more potent toxins keeping somebody down. Those troublemakers could be neurotoxins and dermatoxins coming from viruses in the system, or they could be toxins that have built up in a person’s body over months, years, or a lifetime.
As it moves through these stages, the Advanced equips us to release a greater load of toxins: During The 3, the body adjusts to the cleanse； with our liver in particular getting a chance to gear up and trust that we’re giving it an opportunity to help us heal. It’s like warming up an engine.
During The 6, our body can move on to dislodging deep pockets of toxins that have been hindering our health and threatening our future.
And during The 9, our body can take the reserves it’s been building since the beginning of the cleanse and put that power to work driving out junk, garbage, and poison that our organs have been holding on to for years.
If you’ve been struggling with your health long term and you’ve been losing hope that anything can help, know that the Advanced offers the chance for your body to start the process of repairing itself. Your body can heal. The Advanced 3:6:9 Cleanse will give it every opportunity to do so. Also consider looking at Part VI, “Knowing the Cause and the Protocol,” to find out which supplementation can be applied to your condition after completing one or more rounds of the cleanse.
“The path of not knowing is not your path. You don’t have to be without the knowledge of how to heal anymore•”
—Anthony William, Medical Medium
DAYS 1 through 8
Upon Waking
• Start all nine days with 32 ounces of your choice of lemon or lime water. (See Chapter 23 for the recipe with the proper ratio of lemon or lime to water. This isn’t about squeezing 10 lemons into a glass of water.)
Tip
-
If you’d like, you can add an optional teaspoon of raw honey to your lemon or lime water.
Morning
-
On Day 1 through Day 3, once you’ve finished your lemon or lime water, wait at least 15 to 20 minutes, and ideally 30 minutes, and then enjoy 24 ounces of celery juice if this is your first cycle of the cleanse. If you’re doing multiple rounds of the cleanse in a row, then when you start over, increase your celery juice to 32 ounces in the morning on Days 1 through 3.
-
On Day 4 through Day 8, once you’ve finished your lemon or lime water, wait at least 15 to 20 minutes, and ideally 30 minutes, and then enjoy 32 ounces of celery juice.
-
After you finish your celery juice each day, wait another 15 to 30 minutes, and then enjoy the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie.
water and drink separately or mash them into banana.
If you experience an intense cleansing effect (such as diarrhea) from what seems to be the celery juice, reduce the amount by half and then work your way back up.
Lunchtime
Enjoy your choice of a Liver Rescue Smoothie or Spinach Soup with optional cucumber noodles for lunch.
Tip
For either the smoothie or soup, you are welcome to eat the ingredients whole rather than blending.
Mid-Afternoon
If you get hungry between lunch and dinner, snack on an optional one to two
apples (or pure, raw applesauce, ripe pear, or pear sauce).
On Day 7 and Day 8; enjoy another 32 ounces of celery juice between lunch and dinner. Make sure to wait at least 60 minutes after lunch to drink it. After finishing your celery juice, wait at least 15 to 30 minutes to eat or drink anything else.
Tip
Feel free to make all your celery juice at once in the morning, setting aside this second serving in the fridge, if you don’t have the time or inclination to fire up the juicer twice in one day. You can also get your celery juice
from a juice bar, ordering both servings at once and saving the second one for later.
Dinnertime
For dinner, enjoy your choice of Kale Salad. Cauliflower and Greens Bowl. Tomato, Cucumber, and Herb Salad, or Leafy Green Nori Rolls.
For any of these salads, you are welcome to blend the ingredients into a raw soup if you prefer. Alternatively, you can opt for Spinach Soup with optional cucumber noodles.
Tip
If the dinner recipe you’ve chosen doesn’t include raw asparagus, feel free to munch on a few pieces alongside your meal.
Evening
If you’re hungry after dinner, turn to an optional apple (or pure, raw applesauce, ripe pear, or pear sauce).
An hour before you go to bed, get in another 16 ounces of lemon or lime water.
Also enjoy a pre-bedtime mug of hibiscus, lemon balm, or chaga tea. Select one rather than blending them. It’s okay to drink your tea at the same time as the lemon or lime water.
Tip
It’s also okay to add a teaspoon of raw honey to your nighttime lemon or lime water or tea.
DAY 9
Upon Waking
Start your day with 32 ounces of your choice of lemon or lime water.
Tip
If you’d like, you can add an optional teaspoon of raw honey to your lemon or lime water.
Morning and Afternoon
Once you’ve finished your lemon or lime water, wait at least 15 to 20 minutes, and ideally 30 minutes, and then enjoy 32 ounces of celery juice.
After you finish your celery juice, wait at least another 15 to 30 minutes, and then, over the course of the day, nourish yourself with two 16- to 20-ounce cucumber- apple juices at any time (aim for a 50-50 blend of cucumber and apple) and as much blended melon, fresh watermelon juice, blended papaya, blended ripe pear, or fresh-squeezed orange juice as you’d like whenever you get hungry (as long as you enjoy them separately from each other).
• Drink water throughout the day as desired. Ideally, add a squeeze of lemon or lime to your drinking water throughout the day. If plain water is all you can handle, that’s fine. For more on water during the cleanse, see the general Advanced Cleanse guidelines following this section.
• Don’t worry about the fact that you’ll be skipping the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie today. Day 9 is better focused on general flushing of toxins, plus you’ll have enough remnants of spirulina, cilantro, barley grass juice powder, dulse, and wild blueberries left in your system to help remove any heavy metals that have been dislodged. Read more under “Heavy Metal Detox Modification” in Chapter 21 • “Cleanse Adaptations and Substitutions.”
For more on cucumber-apple juice, including ratios and alternatives, see Chapter 21 • “Cleanse Adaptations and Substitutions.”
When it comes to the blended melon, fresh watermelon juice, blended papaya, blended ripe pear, and fresh-squeezed orange juice； it’s okay to change it up throughout the day —for example, you could drink blended melon in the morning, fresh-squeezed orange juice at midday, and blended papaya in the afternoon and at dinnertime. Or pick one and make that your staple throughout the day. It’s your choice, as long as you don’t blend them together or drink them together—for example, don’t drink a watermelon-papaya blend or drink orange juice immediately followed by blended pear. Enjoy each separately and on its own.
• Melon digests best without other food in the stomach, so consider drinking any blended melon earlier in the day than blended papaya or blended pear. Try to avoid blended melon if you’ve already had blended papaya or blended pear during the day.
Feel more than free to make or purchase all the fresh juice at a juice bar in the morning and save your later servings in the fridge.
If you’re very petite and can’t get this much liquid in you, you can lower the serving sizes of the juices, as long as you don’t underdo it. You want to make sure you
get enough of those precious nutrients to support your body as it does its hard work of elimination.
Early Evening
Drink another 32 ounces of celery juice
in the early evening. Enjoy it at least 30 minutes after any blended fruit drinks and at least 15 to 30 minutes after any fresh juices or water.
After finishing your celery juice, wait at least another 15 to 30 minutes. Following that waiting period, you’re welcome to keep sipping your cucumber-apple juice, blended melon, fresh watermelon juice, blended papaya, blended ripe pear, fresh orange juice, or water as desired.
Evening
An hour before bed, drink another 16 ounces of lemon or lime water.
Also enjoy a pre-bedtime mug of hibiscus, lemon balm, or chaga tea as usual. Again, select one rather than blending them, and feel free to drink your tea with your lemon or lime water.
Tip
• It’s okay to add a teaspoon of raw honey to your nighttime lemon or lime water or tea.
ADVANCED 3:6:9 CLEANSE GUIDELINES General Guidelines
Follow these guidelines on all nine days of the cleanse.
Devote Yourself to Raw Fruits and Vegetables
Stick to fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, and herbs in their raw form—specifically, the foods mentioned in this chapter and in the modifications and recipes it references.
As always, the cleanse foods are here to help you heal. If you have a specific problem with one of the foods mentioned, turn to Chapter 21 • “Cleanse Adaptations and Substitutions.” For example, if you have trouble eating salad, go ahead and blend it up. Otherwise, stick to the recommendations in this chapter. You won’t serve yourself by trying to outsmart the cleanse.
It may sound daunting to eat only fruits and vegetables. That’s because we’re used to such small servings of them. Here, they’re the main event. If salad doesn’t seem like enough to satisfy you, that’s probably because you’re used to eating little side salads with limp greens and pale tomatoes. The Advanced Cleanse recipes are robust, packed with flavor and nutrition to fill you up and ground you; at the same time, they digest easily so that your body can put as much energy as possible into healing.
Nourish your body with the specific foods (or their substitutes) that the cleanse mentions, and it will have untold benefits. Avoiding foods that take a little more work to digest is well worth the effort it takes to pass on them during this cleanse. The nutrient density of the healing fuel you’ll be eating instead is exactly what your body needs at this point.
Avoid Radical Fats Entirely
To support your healing, cut out radical fats for all nine days. This means no nuts, seeds, nut butter (such as peanut butter), nut milk, oil, olives, coconut, avocado, cacao, bone broth, dairy (including butter, cheese, milk, yogurt, kefir, and whey protein powder), or other animal products. If you consumed those fats, it would break the cleanse. It would be as if you were scrubbing dishes and someone dumped grease into your sink一requiring you to start over in order to truly get the plates clean.
For your liver to navigate the Advanced 3:6:9 Cleanse successfully, it needs to be free from the interruption of being forced to backtrack and process radical fats. Your liver will still produce bile to keep your body functioning during this time; it just won’t need to produce the same strength of bile for dissolving radical fats. By avoiding them, you allow your liver to use its energy to cleanse on a level it can’t otherwise. Remember: it’s very difficult for the liver to cleanse on a deep level while on a diet that’s high in fat. The surprising bonus is that with radical fats out of your diet, you’ll likely find food more satisfying than ever.
This break from fats, combined with the bioavailable nutrient density of the foods you are eating, gives your body a profound opportunity to devote its energy to healing. Without fat in your bloodstream blocking the absorption of glucose, your liver can build up the glucose and glycogen reserves that are vital for the hard work of propelling out poisons during The 9.
Reducing fats is also about the viscosity of your blood. If you have too much fat free-floating in your bloodstream, you slow down your body’s ability to flush poisons and toxins—because the fat absorbs and holds on to toxins there, leading to pockets of toxic fat inside and around your body’s organs. The goal during cleansing is to disperse deposits of fat (what people call fat cells) —to open them up so they can release the poisons, toxins, and old, stored adrenaline they contain to be sent out of your body. Continuing to eat radical fats during this period, which translates to having a high blood fat ratio inside your bloodstream, defeats the purpose of dispersing existing pockets of toxic fat.
By the way, even if avocado is one of your favorites, enjoy it after the Advanced 3:6:9 Cleanse. Although avocado is indeed a fruit and is easier to digest than other radical fats, when you’re cleansing the liver, even good, healthy, unique fats get in the way. You’ll want to put avocado aside for now to keep from overburdening your liver and causing it to struggle when it’s trying to cleanse.
And again, you’ll continue to skip beans entirely for all nine days of the cleanse. Beans are not a powerful cleansing food. While they are not a radical fat or a troublemaker food, their fat content is on the higher side compared to fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. Staying off them will also ensure that the cleanse is as easy as possible on your digestive tract. It takes a stronger hydrochloric acid level to break down the proteins in beans, and most people are living with lower levels of hydrochloric acid, making beans harder to digest. Their stomach glands are tired, heavily worn, and in need of repair—repair that the celery juice in these cleanses helps to offer.
Avoid Troublemaker Foods
Cut out the troublemaker foods from Chapter
7. These are foods you’ll want to leave out altogether for the entire nine days:
Eggs
Dairy
Gluten
Soft drinks
Salt and seasonings (pure spices are okay)
Pork
Corn
Oils (including both industrial and healthier oils)
Soy
Lamb
Tuna and all other fish and seafood
Vinegar (including ACV)
Caffeine (including coffee, matcha, and chocolate)
Grains (including millet and oats in Advanced)
Alcohol
Natural and artificial flavors
Fermented foods (including kombucha, sauerkraut； and coconut aminos)
Nutritional yeast
Citric acid
Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners
Formaldehyde
Preservatives
If you skipped Chapter 7, go back and check it out to understand the “why” behind avoiding these ingredients while you’re on the cleanse. Keep that guide nearby for strength in the face of temptation. As delicious as it may be to sneak a slice of pepperoni pizza； that chapter will offer reassurance that you’re doing the right thing by taking a break from certain foods while on the 3:6:9.
None of the troublemaker foods are on this list because it’s trendy to take them out of the diet. Gluten, for example, isn’t avoided because of today’s conventional wisdom that gluten causes inflammation. It’s for a much more specific reason that’s important to understand. Even if you have already read that chapter, you may want to go back and give yourself a refresher while you’re going through the cleanse. For further cravings support, turn to Chapter 25, “The Emotional Side of Cleansing.”
Cutting out these foods is easier than it may sound—because you’ll be so focused on fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens each day. Filling up on these nutrient-rich foods won’t leave room for other tempting foods, and that will help curb cravings.
Eat the Quantities That Are Right for You
Everyone is different, with unique calorie needs and appetite levels. Eat the portions that are right for you. You don’t want to starve yourself, nor do you want to stuff yourself. You’ll know what feels right quantity-wise. Stock up so you have an abundance of fresh, ripe, healing foods at your fingertips.
At no point in this cleanse should you force food down the hatch if you’re already full. For more on how to know how much to eat of what, see “Hunger and Portions” in Chapter 19. “Critical Cleanse Dos and Don’ts•”
Stay Hydrated
Remember to keep yourself hydrated. Each day, drink about 1 liter of water during the day n between your morning and evening lemon or lime water. That’s roughly equivalent to 32 ounces, or 4 cups. You’re welcome to do more.
If you feel you require more fluids at any point throughout the cleanse, don’t hold back; allow yourself to improve your water levels.
Do avoid water with a pH above 8.0. This includes if you use an alkalized water machine— keep it set at a pH of 8.0 or below. Ideally, set it at 7.7; that's the best pH for drinking water. Water content with higher pH levels sits in the stomach until the digestive system can lower it to 7.7 to be released throughout the body. The same goes for water with a pH below 7.7—your body has to put energy into raising its pH. Drinking water at the ideal pH level prevents your digestive system from weakening.
On Days 1 through 8; you’re welcome to sip Hot Spiced Apple Tuice at any temperature or coconut water (as long as it isn’t pink or red and doesn’t list “natural flavors” in the ingredients) throughout the day. Even if the Hot Spiced Apple Juice is warmed or the coconut water is pasteurized, it won’t set back the healing and cleansing process of consuming raw foods. That’s a personal choice. If you choose to reach for them, keep in mind that any you sip is in addition to the liter of water.
With all of these beverages, do be mindful to space them out at least 15 to 30 minutes from your celery juice. If it’s a day where you’re drinking extra celery juice (for example, Day 7 or 8) and you’d like to scale back a bit on water, that’s fine.
Additional Guidelines for Day 9
Stick with Liquid and Blended
Devote yourself to the Day 9 cleanse beverages as outlined. At this stage of the cleanse, when your body is releasing larger amounts of poisons, viral and bacterial waste, and other troublemakers, it needs lower quantities of food and higher quantities of liquid-based healing solutions. These specific options provide critical balance as you flush out toxins.
By sticking to these cleanse beverages, you’re aligning two critical pieces of the healing puzzle: (1) you’re keeping the day fat-free and (2) you’re removing a large percentage of digestive load. Even healthy, whole foods require some level of digestion, especially bulkier and cooked foods. With these particular light, raw, liquid and blended options, you give your body a rest from the normal digestive process it endures. In turn, this allows your body to use its reserves to flush and cleanse harmful toxins and poisons from your organs into your bloodstream and out of your kidneys and bowels.
Some special circumstances mentioned in this book call for repeating Day 8 rather than following the Day 9 plan. Or other life circumstances, such as unexpected travel that means you have less control over your food than you’d like, may lead you to stop the cleanse before reaching Day 9. In either case一whether you end the cleanse by repeating Day 8, or you have to stop the cleanse before you’ve finished a full nine-day cycle—don’t worry about missing the Day 9 protocol. Every day of the 3:6:9 Cleanse that you complete takes you to that next level— however much you’ve completed, you’ve done an incredible amount of cleansing and you’ve only received gains.
Give Yourself a Rest
If you can, take it easy today. Think about saving certain commitments for another time. Maybe you can schedule Day 9 as a sacred rest day, or a day with at least some rest in it. If possible； set aside some down time, maybe even time for a nap. At minimum, be mindful of all your body’s doing for you during this period. Take a moment to pause and think about your liver and other organs. This is the end of your liver’s great big plunge into the depths of purification, and it’s doing beautifully. You’re succeeding in the healing process: rejuvenating yourself emotionally, physically, and spiritually by removing toxins and poisons and reducing pathogens and their waste. When you start freeing yourself of the burdens of symptoms and conditions, you head to a place of living your true potential as a healthy self and being.
REPEATING THE CLEANSE AND TRANSITIONING OUT
When you’re ready to transition out of the 3:6:9 Cleanse, turn to Chapter 14 for special steps to make the adjustment easiest on your body.
As we’ll cover in Chapter 13. “Repeating the 3:6:9 Cleanse/’ you may not be ready to transition out after only one cycle of the cleanse. If you’re dealing with serious symptoms or illness, for example, or if you have a lot of weight to lose, you can take the cleanse longer term. You’ll find detailed guidance on repeating the cleanse in that chapter. Whenever you decide to wrap up the cleanse, turn to Chapter 14 to help ease the transition.
“Cleansing gives us back years of our life—years we don’t even know we’ve already lost and don’t realize we can gain back. This is your chance. Take it.”
