CLEANSING THE BODY

AN ESSENTIAL AVENUE TO GOOD HEALTH

I am a great believer in detox CLEANSING and CLEANSING DIETS for the whole body and for specific organs. These different cleanses have been a big part of my healing, both physically, mentally, and emotionally.  But you need to be WISE and know when to back off or stop a cleanse to protect the immune system.  I see people all the time who think they need to boldly go the distance with a cleanse even though they can hardly get out of bed because of weakness. 

Please remember that No matter what the book says, you need to be WISE.  If you get excessively weak or develop severe cold or flu like symptoms, you should cut your cleansing short, let your body recover and then do it again.  When it comes to cleansing, bigger (or longer) is NOT always better.

If it is done wisely, the benefits of body cleansing and detoxification can far outweigh the discomforts of the cleanse itself.

What Is Detoxification?

Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body and clearing the excess mucus and congestion. Many of these toxins come from our diet, drug use, and environmental exposure, both acute and chronic. Internally, fats, especially oxidized fats and cholesterol, free radicals, and other irritating molecules act as toxins. Poor digestion, sluggish and dysfunctional colon, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys, respiratory system, and skin all add to increased toxicity.

Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes which reduce the intake of toxins and improve elimination.  Avoidance of chemicals, from food or other sources such as refined food, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and many drugs help to minimize the toxic load. Those lifestyle changes are a direct result of choices you make in your life.

MASTER CLEANSE

This is a 10 day cleanse.  I have used this cleanse, but my health wouldn't allow me to do it for the full 10 days.  I have used it for 3 to 5 days at a time and for ME that has been sufficient.  I received the desired results and I can do it once a month if needed.  I have many clients who have also done this cleanse, but again we have found that even 2 or 3 days is very sufficient.  Some of them who have done it for the full 10 days and had good results, but have really suffered extreme fatigue and headaches, and it took them many weeks to get their digestive system back to normal.  For more information just Click Here!

 COLON CLEANSE

One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience today is constipation.  A constipated system is when the elimination of the waste material is to slow. The longer the transit time, the longer the toxic waste matter sits in our bowel, which allows it to putrefy, ferment and possibly be reabsorbed into your body. The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater the risk of developing disease.

Disease usually begins with a toxic bowel. Those having fewer bowel movements are harboring a potentially fertile breeding ground for serious diseases. Infrequent or poor quality bowel movements over an extended period of time can be very hazardous to your health.

A good cleansing program should always begin by removing the waste in your colon.  If you attempt to clean your liver, kidneys, blood, or lymph system without first addressing a waste-filled bowel, the excreted toxins will only get recycled back into your body. 

 All the refined sugar, white flour, hormone and antibiotic filled meats, food colorings and preservatives we constantly eat, constitutes an assault on our bodies. We are continuously violating our bodies by eating terrible foods.

When detoxifying your colon, it is extremely important to that you incorporate probiotics in your diet to replenish your intestinal flora.

A proper colon cleansing program removes the mucous and waste from the colon.  Even a thin layer of mucous waste weakens the body.  Because of stress and diet, most Americans have many hardened layers of mucous and waste.  A proper colon cleanse and detoxification program prepares your body for optimal health by removing all of these layers.

Begin by changing to a diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables with very few cooked or processed foods.  If that is too hard on your system to begin with, then lightly steam your vegetables.  Regular and easy elimination will eventually be the rule, toxins will not build up and foods will be fully digested and utilized. This optimum nutrition allows rejuvenation and peak vitality. Of course it was a process over years or decades to get the body so full of toxic waste, so it will be a process to detox and get your body back to its highest possible state of health.

"Colon cleanse", "Bowel Cleanse", "Intestinal Cleanse" or "Intestinal Therapy" are terms referring to a procedure, which has as its main goal to have a clean bowel. A real bowel cleanse can take from 3 to 4 weeks, and up to a few months, depending on the person. But don't get discouraged, it's worth it.

Natural colon cleansing usually means following a colon cleansing diet along with taking some colon cleansing supplements which may include herbs which kill parasites and worms, contain digestive enzymes and probiotics (beneficial bacteria).  It will also contain herbs that stimulates the liver, gallbladder and intestines, such as psyllium husk or seeds, Cascara Sagrada, or flax seeds, or slippery elm, among many other herbs which are essential to assist the cleansing.

A standard bowel cleanse will include fasting on water, juices, raw fruits and vegetables.  Salt water enema's are also used to flush toxins and heal the tissues.

 Bentonite clay and flaxseeds assist with the colon cleansing process. Bentonite is a type of edible clay that acts as a bulk laxative by absorbing water to form a gel.  It binds toxins such as pesticides and helps to carry them out of the colon. Flaxseeds also absorb water and expand in the colon, allowing toxins and mucus to be removed. In addition, flaxseeds have been found to lower cholesterol levels.

As part of your colon cleansing program, take 1 tbs. of liquid bentonite and one tbs. of ground flaxseeds in a glass of water first thing in the morning (wait at least 1/2 hour before eating) and before bed. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day or constipation may result. You should take the bentonite separate from medications or supplements because it may interfere with absorption.

    GALLBLADDER CLEANSE

The gallbladder is a 3-inch long membranous sac attached underneath the liver. Excess bile, which comes from the liver, is stored in the gallbladder. The purpose of bile is to break down the fat when it comes into the digestive area.

Some Gall Bladder attack symptoms could include some of the following:

Moderate to severe pain under the right side of the rib cage

Pain that radiates through to the back or to the right shoulder    

Severe upper abdominal pain  

Nausea, Queasiness or Vomiting   

Gas and Burping or belching   

Attacks are often at night can occur after overeating   

Pain will often but not always follow a meal with fats or grease   

Pain may be worse with deep inhalation   

Attacks can last from 15 minutes to 15 hours

Please note that if you are in severe pain and your attack symptoms are accompanied by a fever DO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

This gallbladder cleanse takes 4 days and is simple and inexpensive.  You will need 4 gallons of apple juice (or enough apples to juice on your own to make 4 gallons).  4 gallons of distilled water, 1/2 c extra virgin olive oil, 3 lemons (or enough to make 1/4 cup lemon juice). 

Each day for 4 days you drink up to 1 gallon of apple juice and up to 1 gallon of distilled water.  During this time you should make sure that you have extra time to rest and not do any hard physical work.

Each morning or evening, do an enema to help remove toxins that settle in the colon.

The third night, when you are ready for bed, drink 1/2 cup of virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice. I mixed them together and it was much easier to get down.  Don't gulp it, take about 10 to 20 minutes to drink it and you shouldn't have much if any nausea.  Go directly to bed and lie down on your right side.  You may change your position after 4 or 5 hours.  If you choose to, you can repeat this on the fourth night also, but it is not necessary.

On the fifth day, begin eating food slowly.  It will take 3 or 4 days before for your digestive system will be ready for a normal diet. For 3 or 4 days following the fast, eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables and drink unsweetened juices to restart the digestive mechanisms. Fruits are easiest to digest. On the second day after the cleanse, a simple vegetable soup with plenty of broth is good.  The soup that I use after my cleansing program is the Sacred Heart Diet soup.  I don't do the whole diet, I just like the soup recipe.

I have a friend who owned a health food store and she told me about this cleanse.  I also checked on the internet and there are several variations to this same cleanse.  My friend also told me that one of her clients who does this gall bladder cleanse on a regular basis takes 1 Tbs of Olive oil and 1 Tbs of lemon juice every night of the cleanse to soften the gall stones.  I did it that way when I did the cleanse and I really liked the way it helped to cleaned me out.

If you have diabetes or hypoglycemia, this may not be a good program for you.

There is another Gallbladder cleanse that was created by Dr.Hulda Regehr Clark.  She wrote the book "The Cure of All Diseases".  Her cleanse takes less time, but because it cleanses you so fast, there can be more discomfort.  Sometimes we need to make a choice between 'fast' and 'comfortable'.  It is always good to have choices.

Plus they still have their gallbladder which is needed by the body. 

 KIDNEY CLEANSE

Every day, a person’s kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The wastes and extra water become urine.

Wastes in the blood come from the normal breakdown of toxins from active muscles and tissues, and from food. After the body has taken the nutrition that it needs from the food we eat, the wastes are sent to the blood.  If the kidneys can not remove the waste, it would build up in the blood and damage the body.

The kidneys perform a wide range of vital functions in the healthy body:

Removes wastes and water from the blood

Balances chemicals in your body and Releases hormones

Helps to control blood pressure and produce red blood cells

Produces vitamin D, which keeps the bones strong and healthy

Acid - Base balance (excretes alkaline salts)

Helps balance Fluids and Electrolytes

Here are a few signs of poor kidney health and kidney stone symptoms 

Lower back pain, kidney pain, and edema (water retention).

It takes a lot of liquid to "wash" the inside of your body. Taking it in the form of juice or herbal teas can give you some extra benefits and enjoyment, especially if you need to produce a gallon of urine a day!

There are hundreds of herbal recipes, and many different homeopathic remedies used for cleansing kidney stones.

Corn-silk tea is great single herb for increasing urine flow and restoring the kidneys.

Parsley leaves and root tea is commonly used for kidney cleanse

Parsley seeds are also diuretics, and are used for dissolving kidney stones

Juice fasting (vegetable juices) is used for cleansing kidneys

Lemonade diet also known as the MASTER CLEANSE, is also commonly used for a Kidney cleanse

The following cleanse I received from Shirlynn Watson, who studied for many years with her Uncle Dr. Stan Malstrom N.D., M.T.  He wrote the book "Own Your Own Body".

Kidney stones can be softened by apple juice and lemon juice.  For the first 3 days just drink apple juice.  On the 4^th day drink lemon juice and distilled water on the hour, and only distilled water on the half hour. You can do this for about five to seven days (If you are not sick or extremely fatigued.)   On the last day mix 3 to 4 oz of lemon juice with 3 to 4 oz of olive oil and drink it slowly to throw the kidneys and liver into spasm, which will help flush out the stones.

Most people with hypoglycemia can handle the apple juice in this fast. But if you are one of the few who cannot, there is an alternative. For gall stones or kidney stones you can follow this program for up to 10 days, (again, BE WISE). Each morning, about an hour before breakfast, drink 2 to 3 ounces of olive oil, 2 to 3 ounces of mineral water in grape juice. At the end of 10 days, continue the mineral water and grape juice, omitting the olive oil, for the liver will be over-saturated.

After a fast of a few days for stones, hot compresses or clay packs over the kidneys or the gall bladder may be used to help to pull the toxins.   Enemas are always an essential part of a fast to keep the colon moving, and in assisting stone removal.

If there are no kidney stones, water  is enough to cleanse the kidneys. Your body is made up of mostly water. It is in every tissue and every cell. Water is necessary for biological processes such as circulation, digestion, absorption, and excretion. It is the foundation for maintaining healthy muscles, blood and lymph, and younger looking skin. It is impossible to function without it.

The key to clean kidneys and over all health, is to drink plenty of water, juice, and herbal teas along with a proper diet.
