The Whey Prescription by N.D. Christopher Vasey Page A

avoid dispersing the body’s strength. In this case, begin with the organ that is the most deficient: the intestines in cases of constipation, the kidneys in cases of edema, and so on.
    Another option is to stimulate the excretory organs in order of their importance: liver, intestines, kidneys, skin, and lungs. This progression is even more prudent for the individual who is suffering from a great degree of poisoning (someone who eats a lot of meat or has been overmedicated) or whose energy reserves and strength are restricted (the elderly or those who have been severely ill). Once the excretory organs have been retrained, the draining cures can target all the eliminatory organs at the same time. The organs will be more responsive to detoxification efforts and will eliminate wastes more efficiently, leading to better overall health.

    POWDERED WHEY
    Powdered whey is widely available, with many companies offering their own brands. Companies such as
Biosana ( www.biosana.ch/e/company.html ) and Next Proteins’ Designer Whey
( www.designerwhey.com ) offer a variety of flavors. For those following a whey cure, it is best to use natural pure whey powder and avoid those products that have additional supplements and flavors (some of which are artificial). Other companies manufacturing or distributing whey powder are ISS Research, Prolab Nutrition, Swanson Premium Brand, EAS, GNC, Twinlab, and Country Life.
    SPA WHEY CURES
    It is still possible to take the old-fashioned whey cure in Europe. Many spas in the United States and Europe offer whey baths as part of their treatments, but not the whey cure. The principal location still remains the Appenzell region of Switzerland, which is about one hour’s travel time by car or train from Zurich. At least two of the many spas in this region offer traditional whey cures; their contact information is listed here.
