How long will I have access to the course material?
Your membership includes lifetime access to all files and the ability to download audio files, transcripts, homework and handouts. This also means that if for any reason you can't start live with us on the first Monday, you can still start the program whenever is best for you and continue the detox as it's laid out in the course.
I am not able to open the DOCX files. Any suggestions?
You can download the Microsoft Doc Opener.

Can I substitute Nettle or Gotu Kola for Chinese Violet?
Both species of violet are in temporary short supply. If you cannot procure either violet, you may substitute nettle leaf or gotu kola at the same dose.
Where is a source for Juniper?

For Week 7, the Shopping List included Oregon Grape powder as an option to Guggul and Guduchi that doesn't seem to be included in the Shopping List or Schedule/Food Plan posted on the program website. Please clarify.
Guggul and guduchi are somewhat less available. If you absolutely cannot procure them, substitute Oregon grape at the same dose.
I’m still waiting for some of the herbs to arrive - can I start the program after they arrive?
---Yes, you have lifetime access to the course, so it’s not absolutely 100% essential to be going live with us. If you need to delay the start by a week or two, based on waiting for herbs to arrive, that’s totally fine. We’ll be posting recordings of each live talk with KP so you won’t be missing anything either.
How much is 50 grams of powder vs 50 grams of tea?
---50 grams still weighs 50 grams if it’s powder or tea or flour. Same for any substance. Have you watched our intro video?
How much is 50 grams when the quantity I’m buying says milligrams?
---1 gram = 1,000 milligrams. So if you need 50 grams for the week, then you need to buy 50,000 milligrams worth. It’s fairly simple math. Have you watched our intro video?
Cooling Digestives - What if you cannot use hot herbs and are not able to do the warming digestives in week 1?
---You can take spearmint or fennel seed or coriander seed at the same doses.
Do I have to use the recipes provided by KP? How strict or flexible is this detox? And how will the benefits
---KP is supplying many recipes and instructions, and since he's done this program for decades, it would be ideal if you can follow his guidance. That said, you do not have to use all the recipes or follow everything exactly. There is no “meal plan with recipes.” You can decide how you want to prepare, and do so, based on KP's recipes or your own preferences. For example, you can make your kicharee as you like, and the same applies to your vegetables. The important thing is no junk food. Have you watched our intro video?
How much can I eat?
---Meals can be any quantity that satisfies the participant. We want people to eat enough to feel satisfied.
What should the meals consist of?
---All meals will be kitcharee as modified for your needs (you can choose the bean and grain). Have you watched our intro video?
Is there a low carb alternative for the rice/grains in the kitcharee recipe?
---If you need a substitute for the rice or grains in the kitcharee recipe, you can use cauliflower.
Are spices allowed?
---Spices are allowed, and simpler is better. Have you watched our intro video?
What about the specified foods for the week?
---Vegetables can be separate or cooked into kitcharee (raw, cooked, juice as desired). Simple kitcharee plus steamed vegetables on the side is perfectly fine. Work into each new item gradually. Have you watched our intro video?
How do I take the weekly herbs?
---Start with a low dose the first day of your new week (usually about 1 gram). Increase the new weekly herbs gradually according to the included instructions.
As long as you increase gradually, you may increase more aggressively. The recommended quantities allow a little extra for more aggressive increase.
If you experience any discomfort at all, reduce to the previous dose that was comfortable.
I am nursing - will the detox affect the quality of my milk? Is it ok to do the detox while nursing?
---Generally the detox should not be done during lactation. If you want to participate, you can do the food only portion and make sure you eat enough calories for the milk. The diet can be as much calories as desired. If you do enroll, we suggest waiting until you're not nursing anymore and then start. You have lifetime access to the program so you can start it any time in the future.
Is it ok to keep taking my supplements (vitamins/ minerals/ other) or medication during the detox or should I get off of them for a couple weeks or all 7 weeks?
---For supplements, continue only those that are known to be producing results or relieve a symptom. For medication, you can continue using your medication, but it's always best to consult with your primary doctor.
I have had a complete gastric by-pass about 10 years ago. I am wondering if the 7 week cleansing course would be suitable for me? My stomach is stapled shut so everything goes straight to my colon.
---If you can eat regular food, it should be OK. Just increase doses cautiously and use food according to your regular tolerances.
I have cancer, (or another serious disease/ condition). Is the detox a good treatment for it?
---This program is not intended to treat or cure cancer, or any specific serious disease or condition. This is a general detox, and detox does not increase the function of the immune system, although it may allow the current immune system status to improve on its own.
In no way should anyone participate thinking that this will benefit their cancer. Anyone with cancer should be seeing a cancer specialist and steadfastly following the recommended treatment protocol.
All cancers and patients are different. This is a very generally detox, not for any disease treatment.
