Alejandro Junger - Clean 7: Supercharge the Bodys Natural Ability to Heal Itself―The One-Week Breakthrough Detox Program

I dedicate this book to my parents.

To Muky, my mama, whose love knows no limits,

and to Beilo, my papa, who still guides me from above.

I miss him every day of my life.

T here is a secret epidemic right now. As you read this, there are over a billion people suffering with some chronic illness or symptom. You might be one of them. Chronic illness isnt a term just for those who are gravely ill and unable to function. If you have acne, eczema, migraines, fatigue, blood sugar issues, mood swings, brain fog, tingles and numbness, bloating, urinary tract infections, anxiety, depression, constipation, or any other symptom or illness that recurs or is long lasting, it means you too are among those who have a chronic illness or symptom. Most people have become so accustomed to living life with a symptom or hearing about the symptoms and conditions family and friends live with that chronic illness has become a normal part of life. But living with symptoms and illnesses isnt normal. It is not natural. Its not how you were meant to live. Theres only one way we can curtail the epidemic of chronic illness that is growing at an alarming rate: we must remember that chronic illness and symptoms are not a normal part of life and actively seek answers to what is causing them and how they can be healed.

One of the greatest barriers to healing we are facing today is that medical research and science dont know the root causes of most chronic illnesses and symptoms. How can people suffering with a chronic illness get the answers they need to truly heal from within the medical system? The truth is that they cant. This is one of the main reasons the epidemic of chronic illness is growing so rapidly.

Over the decades I have witnessed many thousands of people who have been failed by the limitations of the medical system and medical research and science. This is through no fault of the hardworking, caring, highly intelligent doctors, surgeons, nurses, and other medical professionals who have devoted themselves to saving peoples lives and trying to help the sick and injured. I have great respect for these selfless individuals. They provide critical care if youre in a car accident, your appendix bursts, you break your ankle, and so much more. There is no question that modern medicine saves lives and that we would be in peril without it. But when it comes to chronic illness, research and science are sadly still in the dark ages, and doctors and other medical professionals have only the information medical research and science provides them with. Patients are typically offered only surgery and/or medication and are very often turned away without real answers as to why they are suffering, even if they receive a diagnosis.

At some point, every doctor, surgeon, and medical professional is faced with the limitations of science. When yet one more patient, family member, or friend is still suffering, and no surgery or medication is helping, or when their own health is declining, it raises the question for open-minded and forward-thinking doctors: is there more than what medical research and science can offer us? This is the question Dr. Alejandro Junger found himself asking when his own health was challenged and he couldnt find any answers or a way out of his suffering within the medical system, despite all of his education, training, connections, and experience. He witnessed one person after another having the same defeating experience he was having and being presented with only surgery or medication as treatment options, neither of which offer true, long-lasting healing for so many. His intuition, compassion, and reason told him there must be more to discovermore answers, more healing, more truth. He saw in nature that chronic illness didnt exist for animals to the degree it does for humans and asked himself where the human species was going wrong. Why were so many people so sick?

In his search for answers, Dr. Junger explored many healing modalities outside of the medical model he was trained in. Despite already being at the top of his game, he wasnt content to stick with the status quo. He continually went above and beyond because of his desire to see people heal. His wholehearted exploration led him to realize a fundamental healing truth: the foods we eat and the medicinal properties we receive from herbs and other plants have the power to heal us in ways that research and science havent yet discovered. It is in their infinite, secret intelligence that we can uncover healing. This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart and that stands front and center in all the healing information I share because I know that the right foods have the power to change lives when used correctly. Dr. Junger tapped into this transformational truth, and it became deeply entrenched in his soul. He has dedicated his lifes work since this discovery to helping people heal by harnessing the innate powers of the foods available to us on this planet.

One of the great misconceptions today is that the most recent generations of people will live longer than the generations before them. This was true at one point, but times are quickly changing and this is no longer the case. Dr. Junger speaks about this in CLEAN7. The lifespan of each generation is about to become shorter and shorter due to the degree of toxins and pathogensand the resulting sicknesseswe are up against. This trajectory isnt going to change unless humankind reads a book such as this, learns from it, puts its advice into practice, and holds onto it for generations to come. Our future on Earth can hold promise only if we have the opportunity to experience good enough health and long enough lives to do what we feel we are here to do. And this can happen only if we possess the wisdom we need.

When I read the pages of Dr. Alejandro Jungers book, I witness the wisdom inside. I see the great hope it provides for generation upon generation to start living longer and healthier lives. Dr. Junger knows the world is a toxic place and yet we have to live here. We cant just ignore the truth that our bodies are under siege from toxins. But knowing the world is full of toxinsand so too our bodiesis only valuable if you possess something of greater importance: the knowledge of how to remove the toxins and poisons that we absorb every day and how to support our bodys self-healing ability. It is our right to know how to be free from the symptoms that plague us and slow us down.

CLEAN7 is about the importance of detoxing. Whether its poisons from toxic, processed foods we eat or chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis, its critical to know how to start lightening the toxic load. I ask myself, is there anything more important than helping provide a healthier life for the chronically illin fact, for anyone? And I ask you, does how you feel matter to you? What about how your loved ones feel? These questions are worthy because you are worthy. Your loved ones are worthy. Everyone on planet Earth is here for a reason. You matter. Your loved ones matter. You deserve to be healthy and feel your best, and to do so you need the health wisdom that can get you there. Dr. Junger knows you deserve the best opportunity to heal and has committed his life to helping you do so.

I have been blessed to connect with many amazing doctors, surgeons, and other medical professionals over my lifetime. I greatly respect and revere all the doctors and professionals who genuinely care about their patients and want to look after their best interests. But when I first met Dr. Junger I knew he was one of the special ones. His devotion to his patients, community, friends, and family was obvious. His genuine and kind nature was apparent in the way he talked about his work and the people he felt moved to help. His quest for truth had led him to search the world over for answers that could change peoples lives. Dr. Jungers heart of gold and desire to be of service stood out and still does today. He is a man of compassion, a brilliant doctor with integrity, and a leader in the health and wellness world. He has a powerful ability to see through the darkness of suffering and guide those seeking freedom from sickness to safe ground. He truly cares about the souls who struggle with their health. Its a great honor to be one of the first to read through the pages of his book. I know Dr. Junger has written
