Certified Nutritionist Natalia Rose is without question one
of the world’s experts on detoxification and cleansing. Since the 2005
publication of her first book,
The Raw Food Detox Diet, Natalia has been teaching the purest, most
effective diet and lifestyle methods to promote regenerative health and
longevity. But lately, her work has emerged from its roots in classical Natural
Hygiene principles and entered a new realm of liberating, uncharted territory.
These days,
Natalia views cellular purification primarily as a means to an end, a vehicle
whose purpose is to carry us into the discovery and embodiment of what it means
to be truly human. Fully awake, unconditioned and free, hers is a path of
personal sovereignty, of reclaiming control over one’s entire being on every
level, body, mind and spirit.
One of Natalia’s most attractive qualities—beyond her
radiant physical beauty, of course—is her authenticity. This is a person who
clearly practices what she preaches. And she has been brave enough to evolve
her message, to change and to grow, in full view of her public. Each new
detoxification program has developed naturally and sequentially from the one
before, in step with Natalia’s own personal journey towards ever-deepening
degrees of transformational self-purification and awareness.
Extremely Green Detox is the next step in Natalia’s journey.
Founded upon the removal of our deepest-seated obstructions and enabling
uncompromised freedom from prevalent mainstream, health-depleting ideologies,
this brand new program is being introduced to the world with a unique
opportunity: participation in a month-long, fully supported group cleanse led
by Natalia and members of her Detox the World team.

Complete, detailed diet
instructions and recipes, bi-weekly video lectures and phone conferences, food
prep demos with top chefs Doris Choi and Ana Zaharia, and personal
consultations with senior detox counselor Joanna Novick, CN, are all included in the Extremely Green Detox package. Beginning on July 1st, the program offers all the perks of going on a luxury health retreat without having to leave home (and for a fraction of the cost!!).
I spoke with Natalia earlier this week about Extremely Green
Detox, the fully supported group cleanse, and why she believes we need to turn
the detox dial way up in order to prevail over the assaults of living in a
toxic world.
--------------------------------------------------------
Natalia, tell me about the Extremely Green Detox. Why did
you develop this program, and what is it designed to do?
The best way to describe it is this: we are living in
extreme times that are taking a toll on people’s health in a way that has never
been seen before. Between the pathogens that are running rampant in everybody’s
body, the endocrine system being so dysfunctional and the organs being so
weakened, there’s this extremely slippery slope into illness that is hard to
escape. What ends up happening is that most people are having a debilitating
life experience. It’s either going to be rectified by the right protocol, or
it’s going to bring you all the way down, slowly or rapidly, depending on what,
if anything, you do to address it.
Essentially, we have three options for dealing with a
deteriorating life experience: 1) just let it go down and deteriorate all the
way, 2) try to slow the deterioration by doing a few things right, or 3)
correct things 100% percent.
Option three is the only way to achieve an optimal life
experience. Otherwise, it’s just various shades of doom. The Extremely Green
Detox is a call for us to put aside our path of least resistance—our crutches,
our addictions—and correct things 100 percent. The beauty of it is that if we
can follow the protocol long enough and steady enough, we can win the war, as
it were, and bring our bodies back to great strength.
Where does the Extremely Green Detox fit in relation to
your other programs?
It’s definitely a progression. The Raw Food Detox Diet gets
people out of the mainstream way of eating. Detox 4 Women—which I want to
emphasize is also for men—pulls people out of pathogenic problems such as
yeasts, molds and fungal issues. And the Extremely Green Detox brings people
out of the quicksand and on to the mountaintop. It’s for those of us who want
that peak experience, who want our blood to be the blood of youth, and our
bones to be the bones of youth. This is what we use to get to the top of the
mountain. Once you’re there, if you want to do some of the other things once in
a while you can, but it’s not the daily experience any more.
I noticed that many foods you allow on your other
programs—low-sugar fruits, goat cheese and baked sweet potatoes, for
instance—are missing from this program. What is the reason for this?
A big part of it has to do with eliminating the pathogens
that still have a hold in people’s systems. We have to kill them, and for this
to happen, things like sugars, fermented foods and dairy all have to be left
out of the equation unless one is a true beginner.
There’s also another piece. The key to successfully moving
forward in this technocratic society, which is in decline, is to have the
fewest needs possible. Of course having a sense of interconnected compassion
trumps all. But the person who needs the least, who is the least dependent on
outside substances, is the one who will survive with the most success.

| Green Juice = Liquid Sunlight |
That’s why we are focusing on the raw green foods. Green
food is primordial food. It’s synthesized sunlight—chlorophyll, plus the living
enzymes which you just don’t get with supplements and green powders. When the
majority of the diet is coming from live, vitalized green foods like wheatgrass
juice, juiced greens, dark green leafy vegetables and salads, amazing changes
start to happen. For one, the palate changes. Even after just a few days, the
palate starts to readjust so that you actually enjoy the taste of simple,
unadulterated food in its natural state. The indigenous state of tasting is
regained, and this has a profound, transformational influence over the perception
of what we think we need to feel satisfied and fulfilled.
So, as the palate shifts, the craving for sub-optimum
substances is reduced and addictions lose their hold?
Exactly. And when addictions fall by the wayside, you become
empowered. So we’ll be dealing with this during the guided cleanse. We’re even
going to look at the shadowy addictions, the ones which we may not be aware of,
or don’t want to admit. Even stevia can be an addiction. But as the palate
readjusts, addictions fall by the wayside.
Once that happens, if we want to dabble in the less than
optimum choices, we can bring those things back on an occasional basis and
still maintain balance. Somebody who does the Extremely Green Detox protocol
long enough to truly strengthen themselves will be able to do what we call
“safe poisons” once in a while without a problem, but it will be less of a
daily experience—not out of a sense of forced deprivation, but because the
desire to make it a daily experience will be gone. Once the body is strengthened,
the safe poisons won’t bring you down if you just do them periodically.
So raw goat cheese, for example, is a food that can be
reintroduced down the road?
Raw goat cheese is a good substance that the body can
utilize. If the system is in good working order and the body is clean,
something like raw goat cheese is not going to undermine the system. It’s
something a strong body should be able to manage. The same goes for things like
wine, or a piece of fish.
The problem, though, is that our bodies are not strong. We
need to find a way to maintain the highest levels of human health at a time
when the world is so acidic, and we are constantly being bathed in chemicals
and radiation. That’s what the Extremely Green Detox is for.
What else is different about your new program?
One big addition is the daily wheatgrass juice, which is
going to be treated like a sacred meal. And green juice is also going to become
a sacred meal, consumed consciously, with a sense of “I am taking in my true
nourishment now.” Both of these green drinks are loaded with chlorophyll, which
makes them optimum foods for the blood, the brain and so many body systems. But
the wheatgrass juice in particular has another role. It will make it easier for
people to do the program, because it provides a sense of fullness and
satisfaction on a subtle level. It functions psychologically as well as
physiologically.
So, starting with 1 ounce a day, wheatgrass juice will be
included as much as people can tolerate it—five days a week if possible. And
they’ll be encouraged to build on the quantity every week, so that by end of
four weeks, some will be up to 4 ounces every day. Others may still be doing
just 1 ounce and making a face, but they’ll be doing it!
I know that face! Wheatgrass juice can take some getting
used to in the aftertaste department, but it is an amazing healing substance.
The idea is that people will come to enjoy it as essential.
This has been my experience. Your body takes on the qualities of whatever
substance you take in, and as your body takes on these qualities, it begins to
desire those substances more. This happens with negative substances, too. The
body gets used to whatever you are feeding it, and creates a habitat for that.
So, when we take in super nutrient-rich and high vibration
substances, such as the wheatgrass juice, which is pure living chlorophyll, our
body becomes made of that, and it craves that. Over the past few years, I have
worked up to drinking 4 ounces of wheatgrass a day. Now the experience of
taking it in has become one of the highlights of my day, but it was a process
to get here. So this is something we will be doing together on the cleanse that
I am really excited about sharing.
Can you talk a little about the Detox the World
community, and why you decided to introduce your new program, Extremely Green
Detox, within the context of a fully supported cleanse?
Our goal is to create a place where people can heal,
strengthen and retain their human qualities on this bizarre stage. We need to
keep on finding solutions as we navigate being a human being in a non-human
world.
Ultimately, the goal of a fully supported cleanse is about
giving people the ability to stand alone. The bottom line is, you wake up with
you in the morning. No matter who you went out to dinner with the night before,
no matter what temptations were there, how are you going to feel in the morning? Will you look in the
mirror and say “I guess I gave up because everyone else was doing it,” or will
you feel grateful that you honored your body’s true needs, and your deeper
desires to take your life experience and your health to the next level?
As long as we don’t relapse and fall back into the false
notions of what “civilized people” need, we are in new territory. That can be a
little scary. With the supported cleanse, we have the guidance of the leaders,
along with the built-in support of the group structure, to helps us cross the
bridge to get there.
It looks like you’ll be providing a lot of support during
the four weeks of the program.
In addition to all the emails, there will be group calls
once a week, plus a weekly video with a live chat feature. We have a private
Facebook page where people can interact, and a hotline is in the works. We’ll
tackle the social-emotional-mental challenges. We’re going to dismantle all of
the social pressures, like a kid who wants to dismantle a computer. We’ll take
it apart. This is the power of the group.
It sounds like a fantastic opportunity! People must be
getting so excited.
Every day will be a whole new experience and as a result,
there will be an overwhelming sense of well being from doing this
program—visceral experiential knowledge, rather than textbook. Extremely Green
Detox is geared towards experienced cleansers, but we’re bringing in all levels,
and making modifications for different needs, so everyone will get the best out
of it. Already more than 100 people are signed up! It’s almost like a small
country with a new vision.
There’s still time to join the fully supported Extremely
Green Detox,
a group cleanse with Natalia Rose, beginning on July 1, 2013!
