How to detox using cranberry juice?
You will require:
- Astragalus capsules,
- Dandelion leaf capsules,
- Apple pectin,
- Psyllium husk powder fiber,
- Distilled water
- Cranberry Juice (must be pure 100% juice with no added sugar).

You should avoid of all kinds of processed food items, dairy products and meat. Instead eat fruits and veggies, preferably organic.
While you are on this detox, in the 1st week, you have to consume 2 capsules of dandelion leaves two or three times daily. It will clean out your bowels and your colon as it is a mild diuretic. During the second week replace the dandelion capsules with Astragalus capsules to cleanse the lymphatic system.
You have to follow these steps each and every day for 2 weeks. To get an extra burst of pectin, you can munch on organic apples day in and day out. Whatever toxins are in your body will be bound by the pectin and they will get flushed out easily. You can add bulk to the stool by drinking psyllium fiber and this will facilitate easy movement of bowel and bowel clearance.
During the third week you can gradually cut back on the psyllium husk powder and pectin and start to introduce a little free range meat and low fat organic dairy products. Your body will be detoxified. Now you know how to detox using cranberry juice.
