Protein: How will I meet my needs on a plant-based diet while cleansing?

Substitute the word “protein” with the term “amino acid”. The human body does have a requirement for protein, per se, which is evident from the digestive process which complex protein structures go through, to be broken down into amino acids, before absorption and utilizations takes place. Also the body does require the absorbed amino acids for nutrient transportation and tissue-repair purposes among other physiological functions. Whether the body requires foods or food combinations with “complete amino acid profiles” is often discussed,  however it has been shown to be beneficial to incorporate animal proteins and fats when rebuilding after an extensive cleansing period.

A diet constituted of fresh fruits, tender leafy greens, sea vegetables, sprouts and medicinal herbs will easily satisfy whichever needs a body may have while cleansing and detoxifying.

Familiarize yourself with and understand the following:

1.) The organs and endocrine glands involved in and responsible for digestion, absorption, utilization and elimination must be restored to optimal functioning. This MUST be taken care of before even considering “nutritional deficiency” or resorting to blame the quality of the produce or the top soils of which it was cultivated in.

Notable organs and endocrine glands to focus on:

Stomach
Intestines (small, primarily)
Pancreas
Kidneys
Liver/gallbladder
Adrenal glands (also consider pituitary)
Thyroid/parathyroid glands (also consider pituitary)
