TYPICAL DAY

A typical schedule for a semi-fasting day is listed below, and is presented to give you some idea of how your time with be spent during your stay with us. On different days and for different programs, we serve different drinks, formulas and juices. On eating days two meals a day are served. On juice fasting days six to seven fresh juice blends are served daily with no solid foods.
 

Semi-Fasting Day

Yoga Class
7:00 AM

We like meeting our day not by rushed and unhappy thoughts, but by enjoying a beautiful view of the ocean, by awakening and invigorating our body with  light stretching and deep breathing.

  Semi Fasting Day in Ocean
Check Up
8:00
This is the time when we get together to share our progress, plan our day, as well as guests check their blood pressure, pulse and weigh themselves.
Isotonic Drink
8:30

 
 
Isotonic Drink
The first step in our detoxification process is cleansing of the digestive system. Unless this system is working effectively, toxins released from organs and tissues would be reabsorbed and would do harm rather than good. Isotonic drink is designed to prevent this from happening and provides a thorough flush for stomach,small intestine and colon.
Two Litres of Purifield Water
9:00 - 1 PM

One of the things that ensure effective cleansing is drinking a lot of water. Water dilutes toxins and helps to eliminate them.  Without water detoxification would be ineffective and even dangerous. This is why our guests drink 4 lt of purified water daily: 2 lt in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. While body does not usually require so much water for normal daily activities and metabolic processes (unless you work hard physically and in hot weather), under the circumstances it is absolutely crucial.

Liver-Gall bladder cleanse
9:30

 
The second step in our detoxification process is liver and gall bladder cleanse. Liver is a big filter in our body, through which every substance, starting from healthy nutrients in fruits and finishing with poisonous arsenic goes through. Overloading liver with toxins makes it tired and sick. The bile it produces gets thick and sluggish, and the gall stones may form and move to the gall bladder, body's bile storage reservoir, where they can grow and calcify. Our custom made drink and liver capsules help both liver and gall bladder to purify from stagnant bile.

Group Time
10:00
Detoxification process – Group Time  

When a body is toxic, a person can experience a lot of negative emotions, mood swings, and anger flare-ups without a particular reason. Depression and frustration at smallest things that go “wrong” are common. Toxins may also numb emotions, or make them dull. After several days of cleansing, emotions become unblocked. They start being released, resurfaced, or become “raw.” For this reason, while cleansing many people have particularly lucid dreams and become emotional. To support complete healing—physical, mental, and emotional—we include Group Time in the daily schedule. During this period, we present and facilitate discussion around different topics related to emotional health, such as forgiveness, inner peace and self-respect.

A & W
10:45

No, our guests do not drive to the nearest town to eat a greasy hamburger and French fries. A&W stands for apple and wheat grass juice, and our guests love this healthy substitute. This is why we use them.

 

Apples contain a great amount of fibre, which Viktoria Boutenko calls a magic sponge, because it can absorb more toxins than its volume. Thought there are fruits that are richer in this substance, apple has a very high amount of its soluble type, or pectin, which is not as easy available. In apple it constitutes about 80% of total fibre content. Water soluble fibre collects and disposes bile salts, which contain cholesterol. According to the research, consuming just one large apple a day decreases blood cholesterol by 8-11%, and 2 apples up to 16%. The rest 20% of apple fibre is called water insoluble, or cellulose. This type of fibre helps elimination of toxins from digestive tract, including heavy metals.

Wheat grass is a plant that is grown from the red wheat berry, a special strain of wheat that produces high concentrations of chlorophyll, active enzymes, vitamins and other nutrients.
Fresh squeezed juice from this plant, consumed within 30 min after preparation has huge benefits. These are some of them:

   Rebuilds the blood stream. Chlorophyll in wheat grass resembles human blood haemoglobin (protein that carries oxygen and    iron in the body) so much, that drinking its juice can be compared with a healthy blood transfusion.
 Helps prevent tooth decay
 Improves the body's ability to heal wounds
 Keeps hair from greying
 Reduces high blood pressure
 Aids in the prevention and healing of cancer

Brisk Walking and Deep Breathing
11:00

During intense detoxification physical activity should not be active, neither you have a desire to exercise vigorously. Your body uses quite a bit of energy for healing and restoration, and you should spare it. Yet light to moderate movement and being outside increase the speed with which wastes are carried away from cells and in the same time nutrients are brought to them. During walk almost all our muscles move rhythmically. No other exercise can give our body the same harmony of movement and enhanced blood circulation. This is why we consider walks such an important part of our program, and dedicate 2.5 hours to this activity daily.

Health Lecture
12:00

 
 

Our lectures are in-depth, yet when people ask us whether we advocate vegetarianism, raw foodism or something else, we answer that neither one. We share principles of health and allow everybody to choose what works for them. During our lectures you'll find out how to prevent and get rid of cold within 2-3 days, how to grow plants with a specially designed for your health conditions formula and how to take care of your skin.

Blood Cleanse Tea
1 PM

Special formula, containing about 10 herbs including red clover, burdock and papaya leaves is designed to purify blood from parasites and toxins.

Two Litres of Purified Water
1:15-6 PM

Obviously, water dilutes toxins and is vital for proper elimination of those. However this is not the whole story. Water is an amazing nutritional supplement for... weight loss. When we do not drink enough, we overwork our kidneys. When unable to work properly, they “share” their toxic load with liver. Liver in turn has to take care of too much stuff, and therefore loses its ability to metabolize fat efficiently. The result is that no matter how little unhealthy food you eat, you still gain weight rapidly. By rehydrating body, our quests help their organism to reset metabolism and healthy weight control mechanism.

Nap time
1:30
   

During cleansing, especially in its initial stages, most people feel chilly and more tired than usual, because their body redirects great part of its energy from heating and regular activities for healing and restoration of its tissues. This is a normal part of detoxification process, and a person should satisfy her organism's need for extra rest and sleep. Even though there is plenty of time for rest during the day, we also allow special time slot to make sure the guests give to their body what it needs the most.

 
A&W
2:30

 
Brisk Walk and Deep Breathing   Brisk Walk and Deep Breathing
Brisk Walk and
Deep Breathing

3:00
Deep breathing exercises are especially helpful for strengthening immune system, as well as depression.

Immune system depends on lymph and blood circulation. Lymph and blood move down the body by the pull of gravity and heart contractions. However, they do not have a pump to move them back up to the heart. Therefore body designed for this purpose two other mechanisms: breathing and muscle contraction. When we inhale deeply, we stimulate lymph and blood in veins to come back to the lungs for purification, and thus improve work of the immune system.

Breathing reflects our thinking. Notice how you breathe when you bring sad memories or experience fear. Most probably, your breathing is shallow and short. By changing the way you breathe, you can change the way you think and feel.

Health video

Hydrotherapy Treatment

Hydrotherapy Treatment  

Our hydrotherapy treatments are our guests' favorite activity, and a very powerful tool in inducing self-healing. It consists of steam bath combined with aromatherapy, and alternated with cold showers. Steam beautifies and purifies the skin, including drug and tobacco toxins, contrast of cold shower helps strengthen blood vessels and to improve circulation; oils of eucalyptus, pine and lavender assist in cleansing of respiratory tract. The session takes 45 min. Because our steam room cannot accommodate all the guests at once, we do several sessions a day.
