xins and morbid matter from the system immediately. This often results in symptoms such as
pain in the
a
bdomen, diarrhoea, loss of wei
g

e
akness,
sle
e
plessness
a

p
art of the cl
e
ansing process, sho

r
essed by the use of dr
u
gs. They will cease

expel all toxins.
Canned juices contain
p
roteins that
have been "shocked" in
the process
of heating t
h
e product
to prevent bacterial gr
o
wth. These "polyamines" enter the bloodstream and encoura
g
e the growth of abnormal cells, both infection and cancer. The ca
n
ned juice
