The Short Home Cleanse (SHC) was designed for those who would like a little taste of what our 14-day Colorado Cleanse is like, and for those of us who don’t have the time for a longer cleanse.
The Short Home Cleanse could be perfect for you if:
- You are ready to feel lighter, be more peaceful, get sick less and crave healthier foods.
- You can set aside a few days to eat a special cleansing diet.
- You are committed to prioritizing your health for at least 4 days.
- You are self-directed and can follow a detox plan on your own. Don’t worry – it’s easy.
- You need a detox program that you can do while working and going about your daily life.
- You don’t have any serious medical issues. If you do, please schedule a consult with Dr. John as he can custom tailor the detox to meet anyone’s unique needs. Phone, Skype, and in-person consults are available. Or download our free Short Home Cleanse eBook and show it to your health practitioner.

Summary of what you’ll do each day:
Each morning, you will perform the ancient Ayurvedic detoxification technique called oleation. This means you’ll be drinking increasing small amounts of melted ghee and eat a simple non-fat diet of kitchari to force fat metabolism. Doing this allows the body to start burning off your fat cells, rather than the sugar it often defaults to. Because fat is a stable, non-emergency fuel, you feel calm when you enter fat metabolism mode.
Molecules of emotion, fat-soluble toxins and chemicals are stored in our fat cells. Some of the toxins stored in our fat cells are preservatives, dioxins, pollutants, pesticides, and other cancer-causing chemicals.
This cleanse will help you remove these toxins, reset your digestion, and get you back on track to vibrant health.
- You’ll take 3 Ayurvedic herbal formulas to open your detox pathways, facilitate a deeper detox and improve digestion.
- You will eat a non-fat diet of kitchari, which is a special type of split yellow mung dahl beans and white basmati rice. Your goal is to eat 3 meals a day without snacking.
- The daily routine includes specific hydration protocols and stress-relieving practices.
- On the evening of day 4, you will do a gentle laxative therapy to help remove the toxins that the ghee and non-fat diet have loosened from your cells.

Testimonial
“I’ve been doing the Short Home Cleanse for 5 years now, almost at the change of every season. The cleanse is so easy and short that I can never come up with a good enough excuse NOT to do it. My cravings are gone and I can usually coast a few more months without having to use any discipline – I just naturally want to eat clean. It also seems to get my digestion back on track again. I love how my skin glows and how flat my belly is. Whenever I feel a cold or flu coming on I immediately start the short home cleanse and usually by day 2 or 3 all my symptoms are gone and I avoided having a cold! Once it stopped a two week long allergy attack on the first day. So, I always make sure I have the herbs, ghee and kitchari ingredients on hand in case I need to start it. (Oh and sometimes I do it just to save money because eating only kitchari is way cheaper than regular food!). I recommend it to people all the time. Thanks for introducing me to it. I have a feeling it will just be one of those things I do to stay healthy for many more years. Maybe forever.” ~ TH
