Is your body trying to tell you something? Listen to the signs and look to the cause.

“Disease symptoms are an effort of the body to eliminate waste, mucus, and toxemia. This system assists Nature in the most perfect and natural way. Not the disease but the body is to be healed; it must be cleansed, freed from waste and foreign matter, from mucus and toxemia accumulated since childhood.” – Professor Arnold Ehret

You clean out your home, you clean out your car, but it is far more important and helpful to your well-being to clean out yourself. When you do an internal cleanse you get rid of the things you don’t need. Take for instance “spring cleaning”; cleaning your home of junk, dirt, and useless accumulations helps you feel better. Once the clutter is out of your house it also clears out of your head.

Cleansing is nature’s way of allowing our bodies to get rid of unwanted toxins and foreign substances. A speck of dust gets in your eye, and your start tearing – it’s a way to cleanse out the dust. A virus invades your system and you get a cold or fever – it’s your immune system at work to drive out the virus. Rejoice when you notice your body cleansing, it always results in a higher level of health and vitality! The worse thing you can do is take something to stop the cleansing like medicine and drugs, these just drive the foreign invaders deeper and contribute to stress in your body.

“The bowel feeds every organ, every tissue, and every cell in our bodies. When the bowel environment and function has become contaminated or inefficient, the cells and organs in the rest of the body will reflect that contamination and dysfunction. A toxic and acid bowel means toxic blood and lymph, toxic liver and other organs and cells, and poor health.” Dr. Rich Anderson

Most all health conditions and complaints are a result of an over acidic and toxic environment from stress, drugs (prescription, over the counter and illegal), alcohol, proceeded, fried and overcooked food, pesticides, chemicals, mercury fillings, artificial additives, sugar, repressed emotions, excess meat and dairy, improper food combining, over-eating, under-chewing, and not eating enough raw fruits and vegetables.

The body tries to protect itself from over-acidity to maintain the proper pH balance in order to digest and assimilate nutrients. This protection changes our clear and watery lymph fluid to a thick mucous, making it less able to carry toxins out of our body and candida (yeast fungus) does its job of eating the excess sugars. When we are too acidic most of the time this causes many problems. Too much mucous forms a hardened layer of muciod plaque around the digestive system that traps drugs, heavy metals, yeast, pathogentic bacteria, parasites and more that prevent nutrient assimilation and normal bowel function. An overgrowth of candida overwhelms the immune system, digestion and liver with toxic by-products and also leads to many cravings (in the form of sugar, alcohol and starch) to feed it. If you don’t clean your colon you won’t be able to loose weight and it will eventually cause a deathly disease.

“We live not by what we eat, but what we digest, absorb and assimilate.” Dr. Deschauer

Even if you change your diet and improve your lifestyle you won’t be able to absorb all of the nutrients and your body will remain toxic until you clean out your digestive system of the hardened plaque. You can address this at home or take a wellness vacation where you can relax, reflect and release in one of the many health spa resorts that offer detox programs. A cleansing program (also referred to as a detox or fasting retreat) is designed to assist in and encourage the removal of built-up internal toxins and to help you move towards a state of bettered health.

A good detox retreat and cleansing program will include:
• pH test and health assessment to see what level of cleanse your body is ready for (juice fast or a light cleansing diet)
• Pre & post cleanse diet guidelines
• Organic vegetable juices, green powder drinks, coconuts and broth to nourish and assist in the cleanse
• Bentonite clay, psyllium and colon cleanse herbs to pull, grab and release toxins and congestion
• Colon irrigation with organic coffee and water enemas or colonics (as needed)
• Probiotics to replenish healthy intestinal flora
• Supporting services: meditation, yoga, massage, herbal steam, far-infrared sauna, healing resources, education and support

Cleaning the inside of your body clears up your skin, energy and mind. It also reconnects you to your inner knowing and guidance. Once you start cleansing you are more in tune with what you actually need. It’s an important time to write your insights down and reflect on what choices you want to make to feel and look your best.

You are the doctor that knows best so be sure to do the things that make sense to you and question the things that cause you confusion.
