Cleanse:
verb /klenz/

Make thoroughly clean
Rid (a person, place, or thing) of something seen as unpleasant, unwanted, or defiling
Fre*e (someone) from sin or guilt
Cure

Do any of these sound familiar…?
I don’t need to cleanse because:
…I poop three times a day without fail
…I eat pretty healthy
…I’m still young
…I don’t have the time
…I don’t have anything chron!c or a disease
…I am a raw foodist
…people in my family live long and they never did anything like this

The mind can behave like a brilliant lawyer, defending ‘sameness’, ‘the known zone’ and ‘reasons not to change’. How often do we actually consider our body – really sit down and think, hmmm…what would body want?

Let’s take just a quick peek into the body’s world…

How would it be if you worked 24 hours a day and NEVER EVER had a day off?
What if that 24 hour a day j0b was as a refuse/garbage handler and you NEVER EVER got to shower or have a good scrub in the tub?
And what if in these unreasonable conditions, you were expected to smile, be happy, look (and smell) impeccable at all times…and if you failed at that standard you were ridiculed, disowned and hidden away under layers of shame?

Cleansing is an internal bath.
Cleansing is your health !nsurance.
Cleansing is a spa treatment for your body and your well-being.
Cleansing is reasonable maintenance for a body that is in use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Food, any food, leaves residue. . .
- white foods (potato, sugar, dairy, rice, flour, table salt)
– junk foods
— fast foods
—- processed foods
—– alcoh0l
—— medications
——- meats
——– overeating
——— eating foods to which we are allergic
———- overlapping meals (eating again before the previous meal has fully digested)
———– eating late at night
———— living/working in polluted conditions
————- stres-s

These above foods and habits do, of course, leave a more sticky and toxic residue than fresh organic fruits, veggies, nuts, seaweeds, peace, compassion and fun exercise. However, it remains true that food, most any food, leaves waste that over time clogs the body and limits its ability to feel good, look good, and to thrive.

What does your colon look like?
According to statistics, apparently at least 70% of us
don’t look like the image on the left.
Drat.

My husband Zack and I just finished a 7-day cleanse.
We’ve both done our fair share of cleansing – drank nothing but juice for weeks at a time, liver/gallbladder stone clearing, short but sweet water fasts, numerous colonics, master cleanser – and I gotta say that in my opinion, this 7 day cleanse is the BEST thing going for safe, quick, magical results that you can see with your own eyes!

The humbly named ‘7-day cleanse’ is featured in Bernard Jensen’s book: Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management. He outlines all the ingredients necessary if you want to put it together yourself rather than investing in a pre-made kit from Colema. Price wise, I’m not sure which option is cheaper. I’ve done it both ways, with great results.

Basically the cleanse consists of 4 elements:

7 day solid food fast (we chose to add fresh veggie juice twice a day)
Supplements including green food, beet juice, vitamin C, and supportive herbs
Bowel-care items like psyllium and bentonite
Daily colon cleansing with enemas, colonics, and/or use of a colema board

What kind of results can you expect,
(especially if you use a strainer in the toilet to c@tch a better view)?

Whoa, gross! What?! Ewww! That’s Ridiculous!
No way…nope. Not me. Impossible. Really?

Here is a thorough description of what the dickens those photos are depicting:

”The intestines can store a vast amount of partially digested, putrefying matter (as well as drugs and other toxic chemicals) – for decades even. Some intestines, when autopsied,… were distended to a diameter of 12 inches with only a pencil-thin channel through which the feces could move.

That … was due to caked layers of encrusted mucus mixed with fecal matter, bizarrely resembling hardened blackish-green truck tire rubber or an old piece of dried rawhide. I call this mucoid plaque. This mucoid plaque, when it is removed during an intensive colon cleanse, often shows ropelike twists, striations, overlaps, folds, creases – the shape and texture of the intestinal wall. … In our clinical experience of monitoring thousands of intensive colon cleanse programs over the last 14 years, most people pass a staggering amount of this strange substance.

Over time, the mucoid plaque grows thicker, firmer, and more widespread – colonizing, as it were, the tenn!s court–sized [wow] interior of the intestines. The plaque slows down intestinal action, both waste excret!on and nutrient absorption. It can harbor pathogens, including bacteria and parasites, which actually hide underneath the plaque; it may block the normal outflow of lymph and mucin drainage. It binds toxins to itself and contributes to bowel toxicity, slowly emitting toxins into the bloodstream. Finally, plaque creates a friendly environment for disease, in some cases for colon c@ncer and gastric carcinomas.

…When the intestines are ill, you will be ill.”

Richard Anderson, from his book Cleanse and Purify Thyself

I have been on a 100% raw food d!et for eight years. Did I release this kind of junk? You betcha! And I clapped and cheered with every flush! My husband Zack has been transitioning into raw the last 2.5 years, eating about 95% raw. He chose to do every-other-day colonics instead of daily enemas for this cleanse. Both he and the colon therapist were awed at the results. Looked just like the photos! With a combined digest!ve tract the size of a tennis court, I suppose there are quite a few places for years of junk to play hide-and-seek.

Matt Monarch is often heard repeating the phrase, “All disease begins in the colon.” Sounds to me that if your colon isn’t clean, you’ll never get well or stay well.

How often should you cleanse?
Best idea is to listen to your body.

When you feel sluggish, lacking inspiration, when food isn’t tasting good, when you find yourself unusually impatient or not handling stres-s well, or perhaps you have symptoms of body imbalance such as frequent headaches, achy body, or acne…these could be communications from your body that it needs a rest and a good “spa experience”, through cleansing.

Typically, it is a good idea to consider cleansing with every seas0n change, or even every six months. Remember, even though you might choose to experience 7 days of not eating solid food, you can still have one-thousand-seventy-four meals left to enjoy that year! And more love, light and health to look forward to and enjoy on top of that!

Whichever cleanse you choose, whether it be juicing, blended foods, raw food, eliminating your favorite junk foods for a while, the Rise and Shine four-week cleanse, OxyPowder, candida protocol, parasite eradication, or something else that sings to you in the moment… I encourage you to give Nature’s operating table a sh0t. Better out than in!

And, compliments of my husband, a f!nal question to leave you with:

Is there light at the end of your tunnel?

Often people attempt to eat raw, go heavily into detox, and don’t feel well. As a comparison, a heroin addict goes through withdrawals from eliminating ONE substance from their body; a substance they’ve maybe taken for let’s say five years or so. On the other hand, when a new Raw Foodist attempts their new diet, they are generally eliminating TENS and TENS of stimulating processed foods, ingredients and components, including trans-fatty acids, refined sugars, gluten, preservatives etc, all of which they have likely been consuming for decades on end. The cells of this new Raw Foodist, who is going through MASSIVE withdrawals, POUR toxins into their bloodstream, following all of these DECADES of poor eating habits.

primary reason that people don’t stay eating 100% Raw is because it can seem virtually impossible to feel good and be healthy when inundated with toxins from the withdrawals of eliminating all of those processed foods. What many Raw Food NEWBIES then do is fast, as they have heard that this is the way to help the body heal and feel good. Little do they realize that they are just adding more fuel to the bonfire. They’ve just eliminated even MORE substances from their intake and now their bodies are going to go through even MORE withdrawals. The end result is more toxins in their bloodstream, which makes them feel even more toxic and fatigued.

People in this situation seldom seem to realize that periodically cleansing their colon has the GREAT potential to ease this situation. Colon cleansing can be the ONE-TICKET highway to feeling GOOD and being healthy on a 100% Raw Food Diet.

So if you are going to do a liver cleanse, a parasite cleanse, fasting, taking psyllium and bentonite, juice fasting, juice feasting, taking MMS, taking Oxy-Powder,  the results will exponentially MULTIPLY if you cleanse your colon at the same time.

The Terminator Zapper by Don Croft is a parasite removal device and may help aid the body in the elimination of parasites such as bacteria, worms, yeast, and fungi.

How does the Terminator Zapper work?
All parasites and diseased tissues are positively charged. The zapper introduces negative ions through the skin and into the body’s living tissue, killing the parasites by reversing their polarity and also helping to heal the diseased tissue. Healthy tissue is negatively charged.

The zapper’s circuitry is built around a 555 timer integrated circuit which emits a nice, positive offset square wave of direct current from a nine-volt battery (stepped down to around 4.5volts and 3.5milliamps) at a frequency of about 20,000 times per second. “Positive offset” is a wave form that has alternating current characteristics. This may be important in the long run because it won’t alter the body’s natural electromagnetic field polarity.

Many researches have discovered by different paths that very weak electric current eliminates parasites. Parasites, most likely, enjoy and thrive on all the vitamins, herbs and minerals that you send in there to correct the problems that are caused by the same parasites. Why else would these remedies be “hit or miss” solutions? You’re only getting leftovers. After you start using a zapper, when you eat those expensive herbs, vitamins, and minerals, I believe that you, instead of your non-paying passengers, can expect to have their benefits. Parasites can’t defend their positive polarity (shortage of electrons) against the introduction of simple direct current, however, and they die very quickly in its presence. Negative ions kill parasites whether they are from electric current, ozone, or magnets. The Terminator Zapper seems to me to be the most efficient delivery method for now.

Parasites not only die when subjected to electricity, but disintegrate and are easily eliminated or assimilated as harmless nutrients. In fact, since they got most of the benefit from all the expensive supplements that you’ve been eating all these years, this could be your big nutritional payoff. Viruses and fungi inside the cells, parasites in cysts, parasites with exoskeletons (like hookworms in the peripheral tissues), etc., will take longer to kill, but clearing the blood and lymphatic fluids, major organ ducts, intestinal and stomach lining, brain and central nervous system, of parasites early on will give your immune system a tremendous, immediate boost and when the hidden parasites come out of cysts and protected areas they are in for an unpleasant surprise.

Cleansing the colon is most effective when you permanently improve your diet by eating less damaging foods. If you continue to eat the same damaging kinds and quantities of food each day, the body does not get the opportunity to go into a deeper state of detoxification. Often when people get a colonic without improving their diet, they might think that because they got out all the solid waste matter in the colon their job is done and no more colon cleansing is required – yet there is much more to the picture than that.

If a person regularly eats processed foods without any dietary improvements, colon hydrotherapy will not be nearly as effective as it can be.

When a person does colon hydrotherapy, the solid waste matter isn’t the number one thing that we are trying to eliminate. While it is certainly important and beneficial to remove this solid waste matter, the waste we are really going after invisible.

If you do a colonic and get gas bubbles releasing through the tube, then you are making some serious progress. It’s the GAS that we are really going after!

Colon hydrotherapy not only eliminates solid waste matter from the body, but it also eliminates gas like nothing else. Our bodies and cells are inundated with gas and it travels freely throughout the body.

The colon is the PRIMARY gas release valve available to us. There is no more effective way to remove gas,  than through cleansing the colon.

There is no other healing modality (supplement, detox method, etc) more effective than cleansing the colon.

In fact, I feel that NOTHING out there is even 10% as effective as cleansing the colon on a periodic basis. This is why colon cleansing and enemas have been so revered for healing, as far back as history goes, such as can be seen in the Mayan recovered artifacts and other historical data.

The remarkable effectiveness of colon hydrotherapy also helps explain why the health food institutes that utilize colon hydrotherapy have such high success rates for helping people to heal from degenerative diseases.

Adya Clarity and its MIRACULOUS ability to purify water from inorganic minerals, bacteria, pathogens and more.

Taking a “Super Shot” of Adya Clarity means adding a teaspoon of it to one ounce of water, which you shoot back, just like wheatgrass. Afterwards it is recommended to drink a minimum of 16oz of water, in order to receive the maximum benefits. It is best to take Super Shots like this on an empty stomach, twice a day. If this seems like too much for you, you can do once a day on an empty stomach instead.

They say that health is wealth. When one is on the pink of health one is able to engage more readily into different and numerous activities, as well as have a lighter disposition as well as better bodily functions.

Why Detoxify?

With detoxification, you are able to remove toxins from your body that will otherwise generally have adverse effect on your body. After detoxification, it is expected that there will be an overall feeling of well being as well as improvement in the different bodily functions. Where do these toxins come from? They usually come from the different things that we eat and drink. These toxins could be a result of poor functioning of the digestive system. Toxins may also come from the medicines that we drink. Toxins can even come from simply being exposed to your immediate environment, from the air that you breathe and the moisture and pollutants in the air and water. Stress may even contribute to the build up of toxins.

Constipation may be a sign that you need to have colon detoxification. You should be able to move your bowel daily, at least once. If not, toxins do not readily pass out of your body. When this happens, they may putrefy and case even more damage to your body. Moreover, since some re-absorption does occur even in the colon, these toxins may even be reabsorbed into the body together with water. On the other hand, diarrhea is also a sign of the need for detoxification. This signals that the digestion process is moving too fast that the necessary nutrients are not absorbed by the body.

Natural Colon Detoxification

Using a natural way of detoxification implies a change not only in diet but in lifestyle since the detoxification process can last from a number of weeks to a number of months. So make sure that you are ready to make these changes before starting the detoxification process.

Natural detoxification usually starts with consuming only water and uncooked vegetables and fruits. Water helps in increasing the efficiency of the digestive process. Fruits and vegetables on the other hand are a rich source of fiber which allows for faster breaking down of food and effectively flushing waste materials through the body. Consuming probiotics is also another step in the natural colon detoxification process. Probiotics is a term that refers to good bacteria usually incorporated in yoghurt and in dietary supplements. Probiotics have been found to have some positive effects towards prevention of colon cancer, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, and improving the immune system. Bentonite clay and flaxseeds have beneficial effects to the colon as well. They both act similar to a sponge that binds toxins and mucus to then for easier excretion from the body.

A change in diet and lifestyle refers to changing the way you eat and the way that you look at food. There are a lot of healthier options which are also filling and satisfying. It is better to eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, beans and oats since they aid in better digestion of food, absorption of nutrients and removing of toxins in the body. It is also important to limit the consumption of meat and processed food, salt, sugar and sweeteners into reasonable portions.

Colonics and Enemas

Some prefer and instant colon detoxification and would undergo colonics and or enemas. These procedures basically refer to flushing out the waste materials in the colon though washing the colon with purified water. There is virtually no side effect to this procedure and it provides a quick solution to moving out waster materials from the colon.

A healthy colon translates to efficient movement of waste products through the body. Thus, we decrease the possibility of getting sick and increase the body’s ability to absorb nutrients to keep you healthy. Whether using the natural method or going quick fix solutions such as colonics and enemas, it is important to find a safe way of removing toxins from then body to keep you in the pink of health.

The first thing that one must realize about an herbal detoxification is what it truly is. Like any other detoxification system, an herbal detoxification will help the body get rid of any toxins that are in the system. It will not only focus on cleaning the colon and liver, but it will also flush out the kidneys as well. There are a whole host of benefits from performing an herbal detoxification every month, but many people do combine the herbal detox system with other types of detoxification systems that they know.

After one realizes what the herbal detoxification will do for them then it is time to make a list of everything that you will digest during the detox period. But in order to know that you will have to decide how long you want the detoxification process to last. Many people choose to go two to three days on the detoxification diet; however, it is only necessary to complete 1 full day, a twenty-four hour period, on the detoxification. This is mainly because your body will benefit from everything that you digest the first day and the second day is not necessary. Performing an herbal detoxification for one day is also the quickest way to have the process over.

There are several ways to perform an herbal detoxification plan, too. If you know of a popular health food store, like GNC, they may be able to sell you detoxification systems that include all of the necessary ingredients for the day. On the other hand, one always has the option of buying the proper ingredients at a normal and local grocery store. Most of the ingredients that one will want to consume during an herbal detoxification are all sorts of herbs, like cayenne pepper, garlic, primrose oil, flax seed, parsley, and even cinnamon. All of these ingredients can be combined in the other foods that you eat during a total detoxification.

The other foods that need to combine these ingredients, though, include juices as well as pure and raw soups and vegetables. By combining the herbs with everything else that is digested the herbal detoxification will have the greatest benefit. For example, vegetable soups and juices are the absolute best thing to eat during a detoxification, and combining herbs, such as garlic and cayenne pepper, will do your whole body justice and give you the most benefit.

After you spend one twenty-four hour period digesting the foods described above and drinking plenty of water, only then can you be finished with the herbal detoxification. This process is recommended to be completed at least twice per month, however, once a month is sufficient if that is all you can do. Many people also decide to take a weekend to complete the detoxification so that they’re not away from work. Nevertheless, an herbal detoxification will help the total body cleanse in the long run and should be used regularly!

There has been a lot of talk about , detox diets and whether they are necessary, healthy, or appropriate for the body. Doctors are split over the controversial issue. Alternative medical professionals recommend a detoxification at least once a year especially with the increased concern over toxicity in our food, water, air, medicine and environment.  Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine and herbalism have been using detoxification for thousands of years. However, traditional medical practitioners dispute the reasons for the use of detoxification. They question the scientific basis or benefit behind detoxification because the body is an extraordinary healer with its own system of elimination.

What is Detoxification?

Detoxification is a physiological or medical removal of toxic substances from the body. Detoxification is used medically with drug withdrawal, decontamination of poison ingestion, dialysis, and chelation therapy. During these processes toxins and toxic chemicals are removed from the body. In the same manner, detoxification or detox diets are used to eliminate toxins that are consumed through our food and water, inhaled through the air or confronted within our environments. Detoxes are used to cleanse, rest, and nourish the body from the inside out. Practitioners who recommend detoxes believe that detoxing protects the body against disease and renews optimum health. Toxins are removed and replaced with healthy nutrients that the body desperately requires. Health is restored and energy and vigor are revitalized.

How does Detoxification work?

Detoxification enhances the body’s own elimination system by cleaning the blood and removing impurities from the liver. Although the kidneys, liver, intestines, lungs, lymph, skin and bowels are all part of the body’s elimination system, they can become compromised when overexposed to toxins, chemical and impurities. Now a days there are so many more sources of toxicity than there were 100, 50 and even 10 years ago. With technological advances in food, science and almost every aspect of living, our bodies are being exposed to harmful chemicals, irritants and pollutants throughout daily living. Food is contaminated with unnecessary additives, allergens, flavor enhancers, food coloring, and artificial preservatives. Not to mention that air and water pollution, radiation, nuclear power, drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and medications have harmful effects on the body as well. Compromised by these chemicals and toxins the body is unable to filter impurities properly, which causes an adverse affect on every cell within the body. This can cause specific symptoms to appear such as fatigue, mood swings, digestive problems, constipation, headaches and many more. A detox program rests the organs through fasting, stimulates the liver to drive out toxins, promotes elimination through the kidneys, intestines, and skin, improves blood circulation and refuels the body with nutrients. Detoxification works by addressing every cell in the body.

Types of Detoxification

There are many types of detox plans such as contrast showers, detox footpads, oil pulling, snakestones, body cleansing, water fasting, metabolic therapy, elimination diets, hydrotherapy, and colonics. Detoxes come in the form of liquids, supplements, herbs, diets and exercise. Each detox program differs in action and intent. Some work only with the bowel to remove rotting food remanence, others cleanse the liver or blood, and others aid in skin or kidney function. Women who are pregnant or nursing, children, elderly, or people with cancer, degenerative disease or a compromised immune system should not use detoxes as it could cause harmful side effects such as nutritional deficiencies which can lead to death. Detoxification is generally harmless and safe, however if you exceed the recommended time frame it can lead to nutritional deficiency. There is some risk associated with detox procedures such as colon cleanses which can cause perforation in the lining of the bowel, infection or water intoxication, however risks are low.

When should You Detox?

Recommended detox programs should be done 1-2 times a year depending upon your level of health. Or if you have symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, sluggish elimination, constipation, irritated skin, allergies, bags under the eyes, distended stomach, menstrual difficulties, mental confusion, aches and pains, headaches, and digestive problems. A short program normally lasts 3-7 days. Some practitioners recommend doing a cleanse or detox at the change of each season due to the overexposure to airborne pollutants, refined and processed foods, radiation, prescription medications, alcohol and drug use. The more toxins within your environment that you are exposed to, the more a detox may be necessary.

What should you expect after a Detox?

Depending upon which detox you decide to undertake, will determine how difficult it is on you mentally and physically. It may be difficult especially if you are doing an elimination detox where you stop eating or drinking certain foods or food entirely. During a detox, toxins are released from stored fat into the blood so they can be excreted. You may have decreased energy, skin irritation, headaches or mood swings while your body is eliminating these toxins. After a detox is finished, most people experience a boost in energy, improved mood, weight loss, decreased bloating, easier elimination, better muscle recovery, increased immune system and overall better health. Traditional doctors attribute these results to the limited or eliminated food, which requires the body to burn, accumulated and stored fats. However this has not diminished people’s interest or continued use of detox programs. Especially since detoxification has become a popular topic over the past decade and an increasing number of detox products have become available in the market. Ultimately, people will continue to use detox programs as long as they continue to have beneficial results, even if traditional medicine disputes the use of detoxification.
