About Jejuno™ juice-fasting retreats.

For many years juice-fasting has been a well-kept secret and, in the West, largely the preserve of the rich and famous. Now, Jejuno™ brings the practice of supervised juice-fasting to the UK.

The format for Jejuno's juice-fasting retreats has been developed in conjunction with
Jos-hua, an experienced practitioner of many years standing. Born in the USA, Jos-hua has himself fasted, over a six year period, for in excess of 300 days.

He does not look like a man in his ‘40s. Instead, his youthful appearance exudes good health. When in his company, most people find themselves wishing they had discovered the practice of juice-fast cleansing as he did, many years ago.

Jos-hua is a keen proponent of detoxifying the body and actually practices what he preaches: "Everything that I teach, I have tried many times on my own body. So by now I should know what works and what doesn't!" he says.

Having personally supervised nearly 3000 people through juice-fasts, Jos-hua is in a unique position to be able to attest to the efficacy of the Jejuno™ three-step juice fasting programme which he has helped develop.

The three-step juice-fasting programme combines three essential elements to detoxify the body:

JUICE-FASTING: using organic fruit, freshly juiced on the premises using equipment designed specifically to extract the juice from the pulp. By only drinking juice that is extracted in this way, the digestive system is relieved of the need to digest pulp and can therefore devote valuable energy to the cleansing process. The juices must be extracted then drunk immediately in combination with bulking agents and mineral supplements to maximize their nutritional value and assist in the eliminative process.

HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS: a tried and tested combination of herbs, produced in capsule form by an accredited US manufacturer, is used to help break-down a lifetime's accumulation of mucus and other debris in the colon.

COLONIC HYDROTHERAPY: an essential part of the cleansing process to help remove toxins, mucus and other debris which are continually being released into the system during the week-long cleanse. The purpose-built equipment is sourced from a quality US manufacturer with many years experience in the area of colonic hydrotherapy.

The synergy in these three processes is further enhanced by a programme of mild exercise, massage and steam baths to aid in the process of detoxification.

Each seven-day residential programme is supervised by Jejuno™ staff - all of whom have themselves participated in a juice-fast as outlined above.

In order to enable a high level of personal supervision, the retreats are limited to a maximum of twelve persons.

During a juice-fast which he supervised in Scotland, Jos-hua commented: "The marvellous physical and emotional sense of well-being which I see this programme bring to people in a very short space of time is my prime motivation, I find it very worthwhile and rewarding to see people benefit from my many years of experience in the field."
