Our Mild Cleanse
This is the very least our visitors can experience coming here to us
for a cleanse.
A Mild phase is also what we recommend for those with an extreme health
challenges and need to go into their cleanse very gradually, and also
for those who feel they absolutely cannot handle going without solid
food for seven days
Most of our visiting members, wanting the best benefits of their fast,
generally avail of their Mild phase before they arrive, by starting
their pre-arrival tips early:
To have a stronger, more effective cleansing
detox, it's a good idea to help the cleansing process by eliminating
(if you use them) cigarettes, coffee, drugs, rubbish & processed
foods like sugar, salt, white flour, alcohol, fatty foods & other
heavy foods especially meat. Ideally begin eating a 'whole-food' diet
like freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, fresh fruits, salads
or lightly steamed veggies, whole grains like brown rice etc., fresh
unsalted seeds & nuts. Several days or even a week or so before
you arrive try eating just fruits, fresh veggies & fruit juice.
This
is what we suggest to all members do before coming to us so on arrival
they can start on our Gentle phase right away.
Our
Mild phase is just 1 cleansing shake per day with several blended juices
and/or raw salad meals. If you use this option you can improve your
detox by following the dietary recommendations below.
As we have pegged this program for real budget conscious, particularly
local Filipina residents, many of the frill of our Total Detox have
been removed,
Depth
of Cleanse:
Low to Moderate level of colon cleansing and very little mucoid plaque
removal.
Again, for the most effective detox stay as close to a 'liquid only'
diet as possible. The fact that you will be drinking a lot of liquid
with the cleaning shakes which consists of a strong and powerful fibrous
bulking agent (Psyllium husk power) will make your solid food intake
so much less and help the reduction of toxins and debris from your colon.
Remember, even if you eat three liquid or raw salad meals a day you
will still experience a beneficial detox but please do not expect results
like the photos shown in this booklet.
Our Gentle
Detox:
Offers 3 cleansing shakes every 4 hours with green drinks plus in between;
A Gentle phase generally will not move as much junk out as a Total Detox.
However it is a good option if you are a first timer to cleansing, if
you are a little over toxic or weak for a deeper TOTAL cleanse or if
your budget just can afford our TOTAL cleanse.
Our costs for this cleanse are a little more than a Mild Cleanse and
it comes with a little more frills too.
Depth of Cleanse:
Moderate level of colon cleansing and slower than Total Detox mucoid
plaque removal.
A
Total Detox
requires seven days (or much better if longer) on a pure liquid fast.
It is the recommended method of DETOX because by consuming a minimum
of four, possibly 5 cleansing shakes every 3 hours each day will bind
to and remove most junk stuck to your intestinal walls and pull it out.
On For our Total phase we offer more immune building supplements and
additional green drinks plus in between shakes….. so something every
90 minutes.
This is the only method we guarantee in almost every case, will eliminate
intestinal buildup or what is called mucoid plaque like the photos shown
on page...
Depth of Cleanse:
Strong level of colon cleansing and faster removal of mucoid plaque
than other phases.
Regarding
Your Schedules:
Here at Private Island Natural Health our staff is here to pamper you.
They will assist you with your daily schedules if needed. Though we
encourage you to try to be near our common areas for your shakes and
supplement times, we are aware you may get distracted, and forget the
time. Having a therapy or a colema, yoga or a stretching class; if you
are late, they will gladly deliver these to you if you communicate with
them.
OUR
Mild Detox Schedule
On a Mild Cleanse, (just 1 shake a day) generally your first cleansing
drink (around 7 am) will be what we call our green drinks. This is a
mixture of spirulina, goji berries & licorice bark powder. It helps
to get you alkaline. About 9 am you will drink your 1st bentonite &
psyllium shake. We add goji berries, some ginger; calamansi juices to
make the taste nicer, you need to add the psyllium to your shaker yourself
when you are ready. Psyllium once added will bulk up quickly so you
need to be ready to shake it then drink it down without delay. You follow
your Cleansing Shake with your Apple Cider Honey Chaser.
Around 11 am, we serve you green drinks plus. This is similar to our
first drink at 7 am plus to this we add niacin, virgin coconut oil &
cayenne pepper & a little diatomaceous earth (DE). At the same time
we serve a small glass of coconut cream. You can either add this to
your green drink plus or drink it separately.
Around
this time we are serving our parasite blend or liver strengthener. We
make these from a small amount of grated raw pumpkin with dried and
crushed Papaya, Ipil Ipil and/or Caballero seeds and pumpkin seeds,
together with a little garlic, and onion and cayenne powder. This is
generally served in a begonia leaf which you can eat too and is good
for your liver. They are pretty powerful.
Every other day we alternate this with a Liver Blend substituting ground
turmeric powder for the seeds.
A little later you can eat a light salad or better yet a big green veggie
shake. Around 6-7 pm we will be encouraging you to just have a little
of our evening broth like our other fasters. However if you feel you
need something more substantial or solid you can ask a little fruit
or simple veggie salad or even a fruit or veggie shake again.
Do remember to drink half glass of water every hour.
OUR
Gentle Detox Schedule
On a Gentle Cleanse, ( 3 shake a day) generally same as above 1st green
drink, then 1st psyllium shake, then 1st green drink plus, and parasite
blend or liver strengthener. Around 1pm you will receive your 2nd shake,
the 3pm your 3rd green drink plus; Around 5pm you'd have your last shake
and around 7 pm, you can now enjoy our evening broth. Remember to drink
half glass of water every hour.
OUR Total Detox Schedule
On a Total Cleanse, (4 or 5 shake a day) as your schedules or shakes
and supplements are approximately every 90 minutes we advise you to
start your day with your 1st psyllium shake, then 1st green drink plus,
then repeated throughout the day at 90 minutes interval. Sometime between
11am -2pm you will be served your parasite blend or liver strengthener.
Around 7 pm, if you have kept up to your schedules you can enjoy our
evening broth. If you feel too full leave this step out, as anyway the
less you eat, the deeper your cleanse. Remember to drink half glass
of water every hour.
Arrival and Other
Tips
STEPS and procedures on
You are welcome to rest and pre-cleanse on arrival, waiting to adjust
from jet lag or just settling in before you start your cleanse. Most
visitors on the other hand are keen to start, having already pre-cleansed
and this is the best. On your first morning when you wake, we suggest
that you take a test for both candida and saliva pH. This means NOT
brushing your teeth or taking any drinks by mouth. It will only be a
few minutes. You can test yourself for your urine pH as well (not your
first pee as this is too acidic).
For
those of you coming on a Total cleanse, unless you are an experienced
cleanser or extremely strong, we suggest you start off slowly with just
3 shakes for a few days, building up to 4 or 5 over a few days once
you can adjust to your tight schedule.
If
you are taking your Clarkia, Wormwood, Walnut tincture, do remember
to time the taking of this 90 minutes before or after you take a Shake,
around Green Drink times.
Caution
:
We do not recommend the following to take the detox:
" Pregnant or nursing, mothers (do not conceive during this program).
If you do conceive, stop your cleanse immediately.
" Anyone with an active, acute infection
" Anyone undergoing or recovering from a medical procedure, surgery
or therapy
" Anyone with a bowel obstruction or severe abdominal pain, or
diarrhea.
" Anyone with extreme weakness or extreme deficiencies should not
do the fasting part of this program.
" Note too that the fast may increase effect of blood thinner drugs
or interfere with tetracycline absorption
Some words on Water
Water is the one most important ingredient in this cleanse.
Your Total Detox colon cleanses cannot be successful if you do
not drink adequate amounts of pure clean water. It is vitally important
that you are sure to drink a minimum of six glasses of water. The main
formula of our cleanse is the combination of Bentonite and Psyllium
husk powder as these together absorb toxins while cleansing your colon.
However, if you do not drink plenty of water, these ingredients can
clog and constipate your intestinal system, totally defeating the purpose
of your cleanse. Please follow the schedule so as to ensure that adequate
water is ingested during the fast.
Of great importance is to be assured of clean water preferably Ozonated
or Distilled.
Be sure to drink at least 6-8 glasses of pure water every day of your
cleanse.
Remember, if you continue your cleanse at home, take your bottled or
filtered water with you when you go to work or are on the road.
Coconut
Juice
Why I should use it?
Coconut Juice is recommended because it makes the main formula of this
cleanses, your Cleansing Shakes much easier to drink. You can try to
take it with water, but we have found it tastes much better and goes
down smoother and easier with coconut juice. Coconut juice also has
its own cleansing powers and helps with the rejuvenation process. You
can also drink coconut juice at any time during this cleanse if you
feel you need a little more energy or a change from just herbal teas
or water. An alternative to coconut juice is calamansi juice. This also
has cleansing healing powers and is a pleasant alternate to coconut
juice.
Post
Cleanse
Important notes on breaking Your Fast
(This step applies to both GENTLE and TOTAL cleansing.)
What
you should eat first?
Upon completion of your TOTAL Detox program try to wind off your Cleansing
Shakes slowly. We suggest you take the last few without the Bentonite.
It is important that you go slowly when reintroducing food to your body.
Generally we recommend that you now take a Gallbladder Flush as a good
transition from the fast or even a break from fasting.
Apples whole or juiced, or cut up sprinkled with cinnamon, nutmeg, curry
or garlic add variet, are given during the day (minimum of 5, the more
is better)
Apples soften stones.
We then prepare 2/3rds cup well ozonated olive oil with 1/3rd cup of
calamansi juice (this cuts the oil and is then easier to swallow). When
right at your bedside, drink the mixture, lie on your right side, right
leg up as quickly as possible. Stones (cholesterol balls) if any, will
pass the following day, more likely in the afternoon colema, could even
be 36 hours later.
Gallbladder stones will also pass naturally. They are generally colored
jade green to olive green, sometimes brownish grey if the person is
more toxic. They look & feel like soft wax. Be aware the more you
have the likelihood is you are more frustrated or angry about life…….ops!!
You
might say "But I don't have a gall bladder?'
We have found the body is a wonderful machine, the bile duct can create
its own pocket for new stones to form and form they generally will.
If you prefer to skip this, break your fast by eating possibly an apple
in the morning after you have finished cleansing. Be sure to chew it
thoroughly. For lunch, you may eat a fresh raw green salad (a little
olive oil and vinegar for dressing), Keep your portions small. For supper,
though you may eat the same as lunch we suggest you just stay with raw
veggie broths as the best choice of evening meals.
If your body is responding well to this, slowly start to introduce whatever
you would like to eat. The important thing is allowing your body to
get used to food and not to totally stuff yourself immediately after
coming off the fast. We highly recommend if you feel that your bowels
are NOT moving by themselves, by the time you are ready to leave, that
you ask for a colon implant. You can even do this yourself where necessary
several times when you get home; as it can activate the right culture
in your colon far quicker and with lots less culture than ingesting
pro-biotic orally.
However your bowels should NOT rely on either of these options for the
long term. Fast transit from mouth to rectum naturally is your goal.
Do your very best NOT to allow your bowels to slip back into being sluggish
after having done so much work for them?
Benefits of Detox.
If you have a question and can not find a specific answer we suggest
you ask us your specific questions concerning your individual situation.
What is cleansing?
It is the process of eliminating excesses
and toxins from the body through the body's five channels of elimination.
These channels are the lungs, lymphatic system, skin, kidneys and colon.
The total bowel surface area of the adult human GI tract is up to 300
square meters making it the largest body area interacting with the environment....This
makes the gastro-intestinal tract the largest lymphoid or immune organ
in the human body. It has been estimated that there are approximately
10 (power of 10) immunoglobulin producing cells per meter of small bowel
- accounting for approximately 80% of all immunoglobulin producing cells
in the body. (Physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, 3rd edition,
1994, ed. Johnson, LR) Scientific studies are coming out now that shows
that over 50% of our immune system is in our colon. If this is true,
a clean, well functioning colon is imperative to good health. It is
our understanding that our diets have evolved in ways that our digestive
tracks have not. And then, there are all of the toxins that we are exposed
to like diesel fumes all over the streets plus all the pesticides, herbicides,
fungicides (all toxic) in our food. One way to tell if you have a really
toxic colon is to look at your belly. Is it drooping over your pants
from an enlarged liver or accumulated toxicity?
People think they've gotten fat, but the colon and small intestines
stretch from all the accumulating matter in there. Many people lose
this belly after cleansing.
What is Constipation?
Constipation is the passage of dry, hardened stool that stayed
in the colon for more than 24 hours. It is healthiest to have 2-3 bowel
movements a day. The longer the transit time (length of time it takes
for food to enter the mouth and exit the rectum) of food, the longer
the toxins stay in our digestive tract which permits proteins to putrefy,
fats to get rancid, and carbohydrates to ferment, all causing health
problems over a period of time. Is Constipation the cause of poor health?
Yes it is, because putrefied materials stay in the digestive tract longer
and more toxins enter the blood stream thru the intestinal wall. This
can lead to autoIntoxification, and results in many ailments from headaches
to autoimmune disorders. Moreover, slow transit time can lead to a build-up
of toxic material along the intestinal walls. This build-up reduces
the absorption of good nutrients and this is what we call malabsorption.
This condition deprives the body of nutrients that create energy and
vitality. This is why so many constipated people complain of fatigue
and depression. What is Auto-intoxification?
It is a form of self-poisoning which happens when the toxins from putrefied
fecal materials are absorbed from the digestive tract and carried to
the circulatory and lymphatic systems; and settles into the tissues,
creating many disease states including autoimmune disorders.
What are the effects of Auto-intoxification?
The problems associated with auto-intoxification include
headaches, brain fog, depression, obesity, diverticulitis, PMS, bad
breath, indigestion, gas, bloating, arthritis, body odor and more serious
disorders like colon cancer which is the second leading cause of death
in the United States.
What are the causes of Constipation?
Generally it is a combination of wrong diet, lack of
exercise, medications, lack of oil or lubrication in the intestinal
system, environmental factors and even lack of time. It is also caused
by C.R.A.P. diet (coffee, refined sugar and starch, alcohol and processed
foods); with inadequate essential fatty acids (EFA) like flax, borage
and fish oil is taken and these are needed for lubrication of the intestinal
system. Another factor is lack of exercise to stimulate the lymphatic
flow which can help normal peristalsis. This is essential to produce
3 bowel movements per day but is sadly lacking in our modern society.
Medications such as anti-depressants, analgesics (pain relievers), antacids
containing aluminum, diuretics and antibiotics cause constipation as
well. Another one is when your normal daily activity is altered, as
when traveling on business frequently, the bowel can become constipated.
And one of the most unforgivable reasons is lack of time. This may sound
funny but it has been said many times that people delay the trip to
the bathroom due to lack of time when they are rushing in the morning
before work and the urge to eliminate is placed aside. What about laxatives,
are those good for colon cleansing as well?
Laxatives are the method of colon cleansing that is most popularly used
today. They are considered to be an irritant and stimulant to the body.
They simply draw water from the body and produce a thin watery substance
that clears only the most recently digested waste from the colon leaving
behind bad eating habits, and accumulated toxins and mucus in the small
intestines, stomach, and colon. They certainly don't promote bowel health.
What are the signs of good elimination?
1. Stool Color: The stool should be walnut brown in color and if you
eat something like beets or dark green vegetables, you may experience
temporary discoloration.
2. Consistency and Length: The stool should have a consistency similar
to toothpaste and the minimum length of a banana. Please note that the
colon is about 5 - 6 feet long and the longer the length of the fecal
matter that is removed the better. Many people produce small, hard,
pellet like fecal matter and this reveals a poor state in the colon
and insufficient intake of water is a key factor to improve the consistency
and length of the stool.
3. Frequency: At minimum, one should have one good long bowel movement
per day, but 2 to 3 is ideal.
4. Gas and Odor: Gas is the natural by-product of digestion, but an
abundance of gas is not normal. This can be a sign that the individual
needs probiotic.
5. Sink or Float: A normal healthy stool should leave the body easily,
settle in the water and gently submerge. If there is not enough daily
fiber in the diet (30 to 40 grams), the stool will quickly plummet to
the bottom of the toilet and stay there; if the stool floats, it could
mean too much fiber in the diet, or more than likely, too much undigested
fat.
What must I do to achieve 2 to 3 bowel movements per day?
1. Hydrate to generate peristalsis
To achieve 2 to 3 bowel movements per day, the peristaltic action of
the bowel which is the natural movement of the colon, must be strong,
regular and vigorous. This must move food through the digestive system
in less than 24 hours. There are many ways to stimulate peristalsis,
but the most important way is through proper hydration of the colon.
Remember that constipation is often caused by dehydration. Constipation
is defined as dry hard stool. The key to hydrating the colon is to drink
plenty of water, and as we always suggest to our visitors, drink at
least half a glass of water every hour. However, if you like, you can
jumpstart the peristaltic action of a sluggish colon by using a
freshly made tasty and good for you, natural coconut cream as a Colon
Conditioner. Many 'regular laxatives' stimulate peristaltic action using
herbal laxatives alone. Although better than being constipated, the
long term use of these herbal laxatives is something we are strongly
against, as more research suggests that although natural, these laxative
herbs may be habit forming. Also using herbs that force the colon to
contract on a hard stool can cause cramping.
2. Fiber to increase Bulk:
The right kind of fiber is critical to adding proper bulk and to achieve
the goal of moving the bowels three times a day. Optimal intake for
most people is 30 to 40 grams per day. Because it is difficult to eat
30 to 40 grams of fiber per day in your diet, many people supplement
their diets with fiber products. Preferably, the source of fiber should
include soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. For many people virgin coconut
oil can be good, also flax based fiber is great, for it has better balance
of soluble and insoluble fiber than other fiber types. When addressing
the condition of constipation it is important to avoid fibers that could
be too binding, such as Psyllium alone. Psyllium is very potent and
it absorbs 40 times its weight in water. When you take psyllium, it
can absorb most of the free water in the colon, which leaves the colon
dehydrated, which in turn reduces peristalsis. This is why so many people
become clogged and constipated when they use a psyllium based fiber
supplement with out adequate water intake (most people forget to take
the required water needed when taking this type of fiber. so be reminded
and drink more water. Herbs like cascara Sagrada and Senna alone are
very harsh laxative herbs that we do not recommend for long periods.
Hydration of the colon is the key to making peristalsis occur naturally,
and with less cramping. Using gentle minerals and gentle herbs and oils
are a far better solution than using harsh laxative herbs alone.
3 Lubrication:
It is necessary to lubricate the colon to achieve three bowels movements
a day.
There are many good oils, including virgin coconut oil, flax, borage
and fish oil which are very effective in providing necessary lubrication
for smooth and gentle elimination. Essential Fatty Acids not only provide
the colon with the lubrication it needs to eliminate 2 to 3 times per
day, but they are vital to many cellular functions that create good
health. Because fats are difficult to digest, it is important to use
oil which contains lipase, a digestive enzyme that assists in the breakdown
of the oils.
In summary here are some helpful tips in assuring the healthy state
of the colon:
1. Drink the required number of glasses of water each day. Spread it
over your waking hours and preferably drink about half a glass per hour.
Drink sip by (not gulp straight a big amount at one time) to give the
body time to absorb the fluid.
2. Add fruits and vegetable in your diet. You can change your diet slowly
by starting to eat your favorite fruit and vegetable and gradually adding
other types as the days pass. Try to get organically grown fruits and
vegetables as much as possible.
3. Add a fiber supplement complete with soluble and insoluble fiber
to add bulk your diet to ensure that there is enough to sweep the colon
of debris.
4. Decrease your intake of refined starches, sugar and all processed
foods.
5. Take a digestive enzyme whenever you eat cooked foods and slowly
reduce your cooked foods, replacing them with raw food.
6. Exercise and move the lymph at least three times a week.
7. Take the essential fatty acids to lubricate the colon too.
8. When traveling, try to keep your schedule as regular as your normal
day at home.
9. Ensure that you have enough time to go the bathroom in the morning
and if necessary wake up a few minutes earlier than usual.
10. It is best to position yourself properly when using the toilet.
The best way is to squat.
11. Do a Mild and Gentle Detox at least twice a year and a Total Detox
once a year. This will ensure that your colon will be cleared of mucoid
plaque and other debris ensuring a healthier body.
90 % of diseases of civilization are due to the improper functioning
of the colon.
The Colon
The colon is the last six feet of the digestive tract.
It is a hollow tube like organ made up of muscle structure that moves
digestive food and waste along by a wavelike motion known as peristalsis.
The primary function of the colon is to absorb water, electrolytes and
some vitamins, as well as, preparing and storing fecal waste prior to
elimination. If bowel movements are not regular, our health is compromised.
Good health is as much a function of our elimination status as the quality
of the food we eat. The statistics available are those of the United
States and we do not have any available for Philippine conditions. Consider
that 400-600 million dollars are spent annually on laxatives in the
United States. Every year 126,000 Americans are diagnosed as having
colorectal cancer. Of this population, 44% will die as a result of the
disease. At least two million Americans suffer from colitis, ileitis,
diverticulitis and 100,000 Americans have a colostomy each year. Periodic
cleansing of the colon could prevent stagnation and minimize the exposure
to potential cancer causing agents to the colon wall.
What is mucoid plaque and why is it created?
Mucoid plaque is a layer or layers of adhesive, hardened mucus lining
the inner walls of the digestive tract. It can be from less than one-eighth
of an inch to several inches thick. It is usually compacted with old
fecal matter, bound up toxic waste, bad bacteria, and/or parasites.
Mucoid plaque is created by the body to protect itself when it is under
attack by acids, or toxic compounds such as drugs (esp. aspirin and
alcohol), salt, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, antigen antibody complexes,
microbial activity, and the toxins produced by incomplete digestion
and absorption of carbohydrates.
Is it necessary to remove mucoid plaque? How?
Yes. After years of bad eating habits, it is usual to build up mucoid
plaque on the walls of our intestines. This plaque greatly lowers our
ability to absorb nutrition and makes our bodies very toxic.
The ultimate option is a 10-day intensive TOTAL colon cleanse,
intended to remove as much of this plaque as possible. It is necessary
to do a liquid fast during your TOTAL detox option because, if you eat
solid food it will greatly reduce the power of the Cleansing Shake as
this mixture will be forced to bind to the food you eat as well as the
plaque.
However, if you follow a GENTLE or a MILD option you will only have
moderate to minimal removal.
Our TOTAL DETOX program removes plaque by utilizing a combination of
very important combination formulas. This combination is Bentonite Clay
combined with psyllium, which will ensure that your digestive system
is active and moving well. The addition of the latest in cellular nutrition,
in our daily rebuilding supplements of buffered vitamin C, spirulina,
a high potency multi vitamin, B-Complex, niacin, plus our local formulas
of turmeric, ginger, clove, zeolite and garlic, plus wormwood bark,
walnut hull tincture and DE will ensure the success of this detox program
which has been formulated to simultaneously improve the immune system.
No other known detox program includes this complete view in their therapy.
Want to take a look at mucoid plaque?
Mucoid Plaque can look like this long and rubbery or mushy with indescribable
smell.
And yes, it's inside YOU! http://www.malapacao.com/pages/picgallery/gallerypages/colonicsgallery.htm
The photos on this page are actual pieces of mucoid plaque that have
come out following a TOTAL Detox cleanse.
Generally they can vary in length anywhere from a few inches to feet.
They are thick and rubbery in texture and hard to break apart. They
are very gross and it is best out of us than inside us.
No two people are the same and so some will release only a little of
this rubbery stuff but will eliminate a lot of soft mucosa stuff. If
this is the case with you, do not feel sad or cheated, whatever comes
out during this fast is what is meant to be released and you can do
many other fasts to remove more rubbery materials inside you after a
month or two and on a regular basis.
Why Should I Detox?
Because everyday, in almost all aspects, our bodies are
bombarded with unnatural chemicals, processed foods and environmental
toxins. Toxins can accumulate in your tissues and organs, and in turn
make you sick.
Over time, external pollutants, such as environmental toxins, cigarette
smoke and exhaust fumes can accumulate in your body. Our bodies naturally
produce waste products from internal chemical reactions, called metabolic
waste, if these are not eliminated properly, they can re-circulate throughout
your body Natural waste elimination occurs through our:
. Skin, lungs, kidneys and bladder, Lymph, liver, small and large intestines.
If these pathways of elimination become congested, the harmful toxins
can remain in our bodies, and in turn lead to health problems.
How Do I Know If I Should Detox?
The following signs indicate that you may have internal
built up toxins, and may benefit from internal cleansing:
Fatigue, Headaches, Joint pain(s) Swelling, Allergies, Feeling bloated
and heavy
Skin problems, including acne, eczema, rashes, etc; Digestive troubles:
gas, diarrhea, and constipation
Weak immune system, frequent sickness: colds, flu, fever
Our Mild Detox Cleanse is the cleansing phase that most people should
begin with at home before they come to the island. It should be used
for 4 weeks to gently cleanse and prepare your body for the deeper cleansing
of our Gentle and then Total Detox. As it is named mild, this phase
is a remarkably effective cleansing activity. It will remove a great
deal of toxic material and reduce the load placed on your liver and
kidneys during the more powerful phase of our TOTAL Detox. Your Mild
Detox Cleanse can help relieve the extra strain on your internal defenses,
allowing your body to more easily and effectively protect itself. It
is best that you eat a lot of extra fruits and raw vegetables during
this phase and follow the PINHS Rules of Eating and Getting Well.
What Should I Expect From Your Detox Program?
Our Detox Cleanse has been specially formulated to assist
your body in the natural removal of harmful toxic build-up. While on
our Mild Detox Cleanse, you may experience mild cleansing reactions,
such as headache or fatigue, but remember that this is your body's way
of letting you know you are releasing the built up toxins. After you
have completed the program, you may feel lighter, more energetic, more
alive and happier and ready to start our Gentle or Total Detox while
still here with us or another time.
Benefits of Detox
A generally accepted benefit of colon cleansing is based
on the theory that the hardened mucus that is lining the intestinal
wall greatly reduces one's ability to absorb nutrition. Because you
are not able to absorb proper nutrition this feeds the cycle of craving
more food and stronger flavors. When in fact what your body really wants
is better nutrition. Unless this cycle is broken, no amount of will
power will successfully change one's dietary habits in the long run.
After removing this intestinal build-up, it has been observed that people
feel the body has returned to a more natural state. It has also been
observed that people have much greater discernment of how a food actually
affects them. This opens the possibility to fully appreciate the true
taste of food. At this point, people have found they can easily make
dietary changes and really feel & taste the difference!
Here is a testimonial from a believer. "I
had been drinking city water for several months when I started my fast.
On the third day, I woke up in the night and my water tasted like pure
poison!! Which it actually is!! I couldn't believe I'd never tasted
it before".
Other benefits that have been reported include deep emotional catharsis
leading to an amazing clarity. One theory on this says that emotions
can become trapped along with the intestinal debris and when they are
released one may relive old emotional experiences leading to a great
freedom of internal energy.
Again, thankfully, reversing these conditions only takes a small fraction
of the time it took to create them. Fasting is a powerful and effective
way to eliminate toxins from the cells, bloodstream and every organ
in your body. You will strengthen your immune system, sharpen your mental
clarity, have improved skin tone, sleep better, have improved energy,
vitality and sense of well being. Cleansing will also remove pollutants
that make you sluggish and tired, reduce water retention, bloating,
constipation and aches.
And pains will be relieved. You will lose or gain weight; whichever
is best for you. You will be able to live life to the fullest with love,
passion, health, happiness and wellbeing!!!
Remember this: A toxic body
will crave toxic food. A healthy body will crave healthy food.
General Concerns regarding our Detox Cleansing Programs
What will I do if my bowels just won't move even with colonics?
If this occurs, you need to increase your intake of coconut
cream and water but oftentimes this could be associated with a difficulty
of letting go at an emotional level. Stress, pressure, and sudden challenges
can also easily affect bowel movements.
Excessive or too much attention to their bowel movements can cause emotional
constipation. We suggest that you simply let go at the emotional level
and this will release the bowels. Once a person with this challenge
has released for the first time, they should not experience any more
difficulties throughout the program. However, if this continues, call
your health care practitioner. What if the above procedure still doesn't
work?
We will show you how to undergo a virgin coconut oil implant. This is
simply inserting virgin coconut oil previously impregnated with ozone
into your anus. Be mindful of drinking a ½ to 1 full glass of
water every hour.
What if I still can't move my bowels?
It is a must to move your bowels! If you have gone a
whole day without a bowel movement, take an enema. During a cleanse
it is essential to have consistent bowel movements. An enema/colema
is a simple and healthy way to assure bowel movement. To your colema
water you have several choices of herbal waters. Garlic, ginger, sage,
lemon leaves, charcoal are a few of them. If you haven't experienced
an enema/colema before, do not worry, one of our helpful staff will
be with you during your very first time. If you have any further bowel
problems during your cleanse, let us know right away.
Should I be near the bathroom all the time?
You will be going to the bathroom more often because
you are cleansing but, you should not experience it as an overwhelming,
uncontrollable or urgent need. The Total Cleanse has been formulated
to act very gently, but surely, with your body. You will find it quick,
easy, and comfortable to have one or two colemas a day while here.
When does the mucoid plaque start coming out?
Some of our guests start seeing mucoid plaque on the
fourth or fifth day. This is because the intestines take time to empty
of solid food and begin the cleansing process. To add more benefit to
your cleanse the very best is to reduce your intake of food to just
fruit or veggies and even better juices for a few days before you arrive.
Most visitors who have done this have found the most mucoid plaque actually
comes out from day seven onwards.
Can you describe what the normal feelings are during cleansing?
No two people are alike and each person will feel differently
as they do their detox. Some will feel very energetic and more alive
while cleansing: others may not feel any different until after they
have completed cleansing. It is possible to alternate between feeling
great; and not so great. The more closely you eat an all raw diet of
fruits and vegetables the more likely you will experience strong cleansing
reactions. There may be occasional discomforts called nutritional realignment
or cleansing reactions. If the body is ready, some will even experience
a healing crisis in accordance with Herrings Law of Cure. This may happen
during your actual detox, but more likely this will occur sometime later
when you have built up your strength. All these experiences are the
body's wisdom at work focusing on the areas that need to reach optimal
health. Unlike a disease crisis which leads to continued degeneration
and loss of energy, all discomforts of cleansing and detox are only
temporary, and always lead to more energy, vitality, and renewed health.
Cleansing Reactions:
What is a Cleansing reaction?
When the body can release toxins or kill off parasites
faster than it can eliminate them, and if the liver is functioning weakly,
you may experience some discomfort until you regain your balance. This
usually does not last long, just an hour to one or two days. The common
symptoms that signal a cleansing reaction might be any of the following:
headache, itching, rashes, aching muscles and/or joints, fever, sweating,
body odor, bad breath, mouth sores, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, insomnia, tiredness or exhaustion. These are not causes for
concern. The cleansing reaction usually passes quickly and does not
harm your body. It is only a sign that soon you will be feeling better
than ever and in fact is a good sign that you have enough vital forces
to throw out toxins immediately.
What is a Healing crisis?
A healing crisis is more than a cleansing reaction. Most
all of us have absorbed toxins from our polluted environments, but not
all of us have suffered with trauma or disease.
A cleansing reaction shows itself in generalized body symptoms while
releasing toxins. A healing crisis shows itself in the reappearance
of old symptoms associated within specific areas that have undergone
injury or disease. You may also experience the cleansing reaction symptoms
while undergoing this repair work. The body's wisdom is such that as
you clean out and regain energy; the body directs that energy to heal
these old injuries or diseases. The body only does this when it knows
it can handle it. Once again, the symptoms may be mild to severe, but
only as much as your body can sustain at that time. It can last for
a few hours, to a few days, and rarely, for a few weeks. The healing
crisis mimics the symptoms of your particular past trauma, chronic illness,
degenerative condition, or disease, but in a much shortened version.
It is always preceded the day before by feeling on top of the world
rather than by feeling out of sorts. The healing crisis passes quickly,
while the disease process lasts much longer. You will come out of your
healing crisis feeling better than ever, having successfully rejuvenated
the weakened areas of your body.
How do you suggest I handle headaches, physical discomforts, pain, or
emotional swings while doing my Detox program?
At anytime and as often as necessary, you may take an
enema, colema, or colonic. Prepare a tea for your enema or colema liquid.
We use Sage or Peppermint leaves or charcoal, if you feel congested,
depressed, or backed up. Or Chamomile, St John's Wort or Lemon if you
feel overexcited, overemotional, or overly nervous; Garlic or Ginger
for worms or tummies ache.
How do you make you Colema Water?
Boil a quart of water wit various different herbal leaves
or garlic or ginger; or even clay, there are so many choices. Steep
or boil for 20 minutes. If using an enema, for example straight coffer
enema, be sure to cool to body temperature before using for your enema.
You may add more pure cold water if needed.
Is it best to avail of a High Colonic Treatment before I start my program
with you?
Yes if you feel you might often suffer from constipation
or NOT letting go this is a good idea.
Do diet changes affect my cleansing?
Yes, If you elect to make healthy changes to your diet,
it will release more energy for cleansing and intensify the strength
of your cleanse. If you choose not to make any changes, and that is
OK, you will still experience benefits. It will just take a little longer
to get completely cleaned out, but you will be proceeding at a pace
comfortable for you.
Note that a diet of raw, organic fruit juices though having a cleansing
effect on the body; is not as strongly cleansing and alkalizing as vegetable
juices. You would be advised, however, to not jump to the top level
of juices only, unless you are already a raw foodist. However, it would
be beneficial to add freshly made, organic fruit and vegetable juices
to your present diet. The important point to keep in mind is that while
diet changes do effect your cleansing, there is no need to move up more
than one step at a time on the chart. It is best to proceed gradually
and observe how your body reacts, as this way you can stay in control
and comfortable. If you ever find that the rate of cleansing is too
much for you, have a bowl of homemade vegetable soup and/or drop back
a step in your cleanse and notice how it calms the process.
Raw Veggie/Soup Broth
We use organically grown vegetables as much as possible:
Grate and blend the following together.
1 to 2 carrots, scrubbed not peeled
small slice of pumpkin (leave the skin on)
1 onion (small)
1/8 cabbage - any other veggies will do
3 stalks of celery, leek or spring onion,
some basal or oregano or other herbs
Some fresh sprouts, small amount of sauerkraut
Add this to 5 glass of just boiled strong herbal tea (cloves, cardamom,
rosemary, oregano or similar)
Do not reheat, pour directly into a thermos and serve within 1 hour.
Will I get hungry all the time?
Taking our psyllium husk shakes four to five times a
day will greatly reduce hunger pains. Also, you will be taking our green
drinks plus every 90 minutes and afterwards you can have the alkaline,
vegetable soup broth or more buko or calamansi juice if you need a little
extra energy. What is the benefit if I don't change my diet?
If this is your first experience with a natural health program, you
should find your Total Detox program fun and an eye-opening lesson of
awareness. Definitely here with us we will be encouraging you to stay
on your program and with our filling shakes you will NOT be hungry.
Do take care to stay positive and open to your body's needs and notice
an immediate increase in energy. Once you have experienced the positive
changes of your cleanse, like many others, you may well wish to keep
this new energy feeling and take the needed and necessary steps to start
living a cleaner lifestyle, doing a cleanse more regularly.
If you sincerely CAN'T or WON'T change your diet after your cleanse,
then it's unlikely you will improve your health on the long term.
What if I decide to miss a shake?
We're all human and that happens sometimes. Just pick
up again with the next scheduled dose, no need to be stressed or worried
about this.What if I decide to miss a whole day?
We don't recommend this because if you do, you will slide back instead
of moving forward.After drinking my shake I feel bloated.
Why do I feel this way?
Your psyllium and bentonite shake is a bulk fiber formula that
draws liquids and toxins into the digestive tract and out through the
colon. You have seen how it begins to swell up after mixing with juice
in your shaker jar. It continues this expansion in your stomach and
intestines, drawing up to 40 times its weight in toxins to itself. This
can produces a full sensation after drinking it.
Can I lose weight with this cleanse?
Many people have reported weight loss from this program.
While it is not designed specifically for weight loss, one of the benefits
of a cleansed body and a healthier colon is that you release excess
toxins and cellular wastes. With improved digestion and elimination
you will find optimal assimilation of your food and less toxic storage.
Most importantly, you will find your Total Detox brings you into a new
awareness of your own body. The changes just naturally inspire cooperation
with your body to realize optimal health and ideal weight. Should I
stop taking my various supplements or medications now?
It is important to consult with your health care professional. While
it is more beneficial to do the program without added supplements, it
is not always wise to discontinue. If you are taking prescription drugs,
it is optimal to wait until you have finished the course of your prescription
before beginning your cleanse. If your prescription is needed on an
ongoing, daily basis, please continue as directed. Be sure to take your
medication one hour before or two hours after taking the shake to make
sure the drug is absorbed properly. Check the list below to see which
drugs may be affected by this program. If you are taking dietary supplements
or other herbal formulas, as long as they are not needed for critical
life support, discontinue while cleansing because your programs contains
all the immune building nutrients needed during this cleansing therapy.
Our Total Detox Cleansing program may have the following effects.
May interfere with tetracycline absorption
May increase effect of blood thinner drugs. How often should a DETOX
program be done?
If you are relatively healthy, a good TOTAL cleanse is recommended at
least once a year. You could also do one or two MILD or GENTLE cleanses;
once or twice a year also as maintenance program. You may also do a
colon cleanse anytime you feel the need. If you have severe health problems,
cleansing two to four times a year or quarterly for several years is
recommended, along with any protocols your health care professional
determines as necessary.
Is it true that the releasing with bentonite and psyllium wipe away
the Probiotic and it is ineffective?
Yes. That is why those with yeast problems such as Candida
albicans need to take lots of probiotic while cleansing. Yeast has pretty
good roots and while some will be washed away, many can hang on, within
hours multiplying again and again creating their unpleasant byproducts.
These byproducts can cause bloating, weakness, and other discomfort.
Taking friendly bacteria will help maintain good bacteria as opposed
to the bad bacteria and help prevent the yeast from dominating. It is
theorized that as long as we continue taking large amounts of probiotic
during a cleanse, the yeast cannot spread.
It is advisable to do parasite zapping too. For those who do not have
yeast infections, it is still important to keep taking probiotic while
cleansing, which is included in our green drink plus. Some people may
have a yeast infection and not be aware of it, because it has not yet
become acute. The wiping out of friendly bacteria and taking lots of
fruit or carrot juice, feeds yeast and allows them to spread.
Taking good bacteria during a cleanse helps to keep the yeast from taking
over. Another reason we take probiotic during a cleanse, is that once
the fast is completed many people become ravishingly hungry. As long
as there is plenty of bulk in the gut, we tend to not get so hungry
and probiotic helps to provide bulk.
Are Probiotics necessary during cleansing?
Will it not all get moved out with the herbs and the shakes?
Yes, it's very important! Even if a certain amount of
friendly bacteria (which some individuals might already be somewhat
deficient in) is pulled out during a pre-cleanse, it's important to
replace it daily, since the body requires friendly bacteria for a host
of functions, including the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients
of food (and herbs!). Most people have an imbalance of friendly bacteria.
By using pro-biotic throughout your cleanse, one substantially increases
their chances of achieving the desirable bacterial environment that
is, it is Generally Recognized as Safe. Hair analysis performed after
using lots of bentonite did not show any indication of a problem.
Can you overdo Probiotics?
Too much would cause bloating for a few hours or days,
but the effects would not be damaging.
Food and Diet
What should a person do if having a lot of difficulty during their fast?
It is good to have more colemas if you are feeling over toxic, and take
extra juices or vegetable broth. Under no circumstance should you cut
out or stop your cleanse. Stopping the cleansing cycle might cause you
to become constipated and blocked. If you are stopping a cleanse entirely,
an alkalizing juice, broth, and steamed vegetables most likely will
help people to feel better if they were having a rough time. I've been
feeling nauseous for a few days, what should I do?
It is best to try the standard approaches of doing colema (organic coffee
might be best) and if no lasting relief is experienced, then slow down
the cleansing process by eating some cooked vegetables or a baked potato
and/or cutting back on the amount of cleansing shake one is taking.
Our cleansing program was designed to be gentle but effective without
serious discomfort. When nausea occurs for more than a few hours, many
people go back to a pre-cleanse. Afterwards, they usually have no more
nausea while cleansing. Always do what feels best for you. What can
we do about bloating?
As the herbs begin to work on the plaque, the plaque itself plumps up
and can cause the feeling of bloat. Parasites can become disturbed and
also produce this sensation; if individuals suspect parasites and find
their bloat intolerable, it is suggested one does the Parasite Cleanse
for a while and then resume the detox. Sometimes, a bacterial imbalance
is responsible: many customers have reported positive results after
taking large amounts of probiotics for 4-5 days. We recommend sauerkraut
in increasing the quantities during the day. This will help rehabilitate
the environment of the colon.Can a person look older, drawn and with
more wrinkles after a fast?
It is not uncommon for a person at 60 years or older who is finishing
a cleanse or water fast to look terrible towards the end. There are
two things happening here. One, toxins and emotions are moving out through
the skin and two, they are losing weight in their face. Both conditions
correct themselves in time and leave a better skin than before. The
only exception to this is if a person stopped a cleanse or fast before
the toxins had moved out. Have you ever noticed that fat people have
fewer wrinkles? Thin people might look worse, but they will live longer,
healthier and more energetic than obese people. So when we come off
a cleanse, we often have lost some unnecessary fat and for a few days
may look bad, however are actually in better condition than when we
started.
Yes one can have a bad taste in one's mouth during cleanse.
Can there be a heavy bitter taste in my mouth after two weeks on a cleanse?
Yes. You might notice how the tongue becomes coated when
toxins are leaving. One can even have a metallic taste in the mouth
as toxic metals exit the body. The tongue is a wonderful gauge to help
determine how clean we are. If you finish a cleanse, and your tongue
is still coated and/or your mouth tastes and smells like a sewer, then
you know that you still have a way to go. The gray coating is the breakdown
of toxic metabolic waste. It is rot, fermenting, decaying rot. It is
what makes people sick. This is what needs to come out and you should
be happy that it is now being released.
How can I stop headaches after cleansing?
It is very rare that anyone still has a headache after
cleansing. Anyone who follows the directions properly, and completes
a cleanse as directed, should not have a headache. These are questions
you should answer.
Did you use colema? How much probiotic did you take during & after
a cleanse? Have you ever had a liver disease? What have you been eating?
How to stop a headache? Enemas work about 80% of the
time, organic coffee works about 95% of the time. If the enema worked,
then it was a toxic colon that caused the headache. If the enema did
not work but the coffee enema did, then it was a congested liver that
caused the headache. What does that mean? That this
person better work on the bowel and liver, for it is sluggish now, what
do you think it will be like next year, or 5 or 10 years from now. We
need to be working on ourselves as early as possible.
How can we help people who vomit after taking the cleansing shakes?
These people should try taking just a small amount. Wait
for 5 minutes and take some more. They also may find that eating an
apple or something else will help calm their sensitive stomach. After
a few days, they probably will not have this problem anymore. Usually
the only people who have this problem are those who are environmentally
ill and this is what they need to do. If necessary, they can just take
½ the shake. If after a few days, if they still have a problem,
then tell them to stop, and consider that they may have sensitivity
to one of the herbs. Call your health care practitioner for more options
or solutions.
What can vomiting bile mean?
It means that their pyloric valve is not working properly. Such a person
can drink peppermint tea to feel better. Continuing on your cleanse
will most likely give them wonderful benefits. This occasionally happens
after a coffee enema. In this case, the person should take the cleansing
shake and drink plenty of peppermint tea throughout the liquid fast
duration.
What does feet and ankle swelling during a cleanse and nose tingling
mean?
1. A potassium deficiency can cause edema of the feet
and ankles. Anyone with a potassium deficiency should not do a cleanse
but immediately balance his potassium. Anyone who has a potassium deficiency
also has an organic sodium deficiency.
2. Too much protein in the form of fibrinogen can settle in the feet
and lower legs. That is common with those who have diabetes. That means
their diet was poor, they had constipation, and have a serious liver
and pancreas congestion. If a person is a borderline diabetic, or some
other protein disease, a cleanse could cause temporary congestion simply
because there are so many toxins entering the blood and lymph circulation
that the body cannot get rid of fast enough and swelling occurs. These
are the people who need to cleanse more than anyone else and are the
least likely to do it.
What is happening when there is red blood not blackened blood in the
stool after the 4th or 5th day of the fast?
a. Had there ever been blood in the stool prior to cleansing?
b. What is the history of bowel disturbance?
c. Are there any white, yellow, or off-white particles or specks seen
during a cleanse? If so this is most probably polyps being removed.
d. Are there any fuzzy looking globs being eliminated and are there
any stringy tentacles-like things coming out?
This could be tumor-related pieces. One thing for certain, something
is being removed. There have been several people who have done a cleanse
successfully and beneficially who had severe colitis, Cohn's disease,
and irritable bowel?
It is our opinion that the Total Detox is beneficial for any bowel disturbance.
If bleeding occurs, it can be because something that should not be there
is being challenged and that is exactly what needs to happen. Immediately
take probiotic 3 times daily together with fresh vegetables juices 3
times daily and probably antioxidants. Is a 10% loss of body weight
with a large loss of strength during the first 2 or 3 days of a cleanse
a cause of concern? If so what can be done about it?
Some people could lose 8 or 9 pounds of fecal matter in the first few
days of a cleanse. They have that much garbage, and more, rotting away
in their guts. Anyone that would be this full of toxic debris is quite
likely to experience a temporary loss of strength, due to extreme toxic
elimination. This kind of person is a classic example of one who might
need to go slowly in their cleanse. They may need to stay on a GENTLE
DETOX phase longer than most (say a 7 or even a 15 day GENTLE DETOX,
gradually move into their TOTAL DETOX.
This is so they can reduce the toxic level enough to feel strong and
vitally alive on their TOTAL DETOX.
This is my first cleanse and I've been a
vegetarian for many years (or I've done lots of cleansing and fasting
in the past) so is it acceptable for me to do just 1 week of the GENTLE
phase and then do the TOTAL Detox?
Yes this might be just fine for you. Still to get the maximum benefits
out of your TOTAL cleanse we suggest you start on your pre-arrival cleanse
as early as possible before you arrive. We do not recommend going straight
into a TOTAL DETOX for everyone as all people are different. Some may
have a significant build-up of plaque from a previous history of a poor
lifestyle/diet, making it better for them to complete their first program
on a longish GENTLE DETOX, moving on to do their TOTAL DETOX as their
body feels right for it.
Reason: many people, even vegetarians, still consume many acid-forming
or processed/refined foods such as soy products (tofu, etc.), bread,
pasta, and grains; such that their electrolyte reserves may be low and
their bodies still very toxic. By jumping quickly into a TOTAL DETOX
with only a short week of a GENTLE Phase, one may put an unnecessary
burden on their liver and kidneys if the body detoxifies too rapidly.
Remember that if one is deficient of electrolyte minerals, the cleansing
process itself can generate acids that might force the body to seek
out (rob) electrolyte minerals from other various fluids, tissues and
organs. A longer GENTLE phase gives the shakes and herbs time to soften
plaque for removal.
Is exercise recommended while cleansing?
While cleansing it is recommended that you limit your
exercise to gentle yoga, tai chi or swimming, walking. Jogging, rebounding
or any activity that creates a bouncing of the intestine is not recommended.
Remember that when you exercise vigorously you are using electrolyte
minerals which you may need for cleansing. Conserve your energy during
this time for internal healing & detoxification.
Why do some people report spaciness and ungroundedness when eating just
raw fruits and veggies?
It is most likely, because the body is going into a cleansing
mode and the stirred up toxins are causing this reaction. It may also
be because the liver is not performing properly.
Is cleansing recommended for children?
We do not recommend that children cleanse. We have seen
many children ages 5 and above have wonderful results with a cleanse.
We say that we do not recommend a cleanse for children mainly to protect
ourselves. For we all know that in this toxic age, children need it
too. Dealing with children and pregnant women is risky. Not because
a cleanse could hurt them, but because so many people simply do not
understand natural healing and cleansing reactions, and sometimes over-react.
People, having been conditioned by conventional medicine, freak out
when something fails to go the way they expect. And there are so many
highly toxic people out there, well; we just better play it safe. For
those who are determined to put their children on a cleansing, remember
this: compare their weight with an adult and adjust the dosages accordingly.
Don't push them too hard. Children often have better intuition than
adults and they should be listened to. Don't force them to cleanse.
Each situation is different and I hesitate to give too many general
directions, but the most important thing we can do for children is feed
them natural fresh organically grown food, help them to be happy and
confident, and keep their bowels moving. If they do not have at least
two BMs daily, there is a problem developing.
Give your comments about acne and fat
versus muscle mass
Definitely a GENTLE DETOX and/or a TOTAL DETOX will be very beneficial.
If you have acne you should be on a vegan diet. Acne is a sign of extreme
toxicity and poor digestion. MSM and L-Glutamine may help to put on
muscle mass.
Does cleansing reduce muscle rather than fat? How do we reduce the fats?
No. This is not what should happen. Muscle should not
be coming off people when they are cleansing. The fat under the skin
comes off and they look thinner, but this is not muscle. Fat around
the abdomen takes longer to remove. If someone is truly loosing muscle
mass while cleansing, then this could be a liver or an electrolyte problem.
If it is the liver, they could be deficient in glutathione. The body
then breaks down muscle to retrieve glutamine and then glutamic acid
to combine with l-cysteine to make glutathione which is used for important
liver enzymes which are necessary for life. This can be compensated
by taking L-Glutamine and antioxidants. Cleansing reduces the fats.
Will the cleansing herbs pass food through the colon faster so one might
see undigested food during their GENTLE DETOX & Pre TOTAL DETOX?
You should not see undigested food unless you were taking
enemas or colonic. If you are seeing it otherwise, then you should be
taking more probiotic. Bacteria are necessary to help break down food.
What should a person who is taking high blood pressure or other medication
do during a cleanse?
Any person taking medication should consult with the
doctor prescribing that medication before embarking upon a cleanse.
Our experience reveals that persons often have had to have their medication
reduced while cleansing, due to better absorption and a cleaner circulatory
system. In fact, there have been cases where the doctor monitoring the
progress of a cleanser has eliminated medication. We suggest that people
on high blood pressure medicine be tested daily by their doctor; they
may be very pleased with the results. Remember, the taking of medication
is a serious thing and no one should ever just stop taking any medication
without consulting with his or her doctor.
Do not play a role of the doctor unless you are one yourself or you
feel you know more.
Can I take my own vitamins/food supplements while on the gentle/total
detox?
This is strictly up to you. Others feel satisfied if
they are eating organic foods/produce and their juices, herbs, chlorophyll
supplements and concentrated liquid minerals, others feel they would
like to continue their own vitamins. It is recommended that vitamins
be consumed with a meal, as opposed to taking them with the cleansing
shake and herbs because they may interfere with the action of the herbs.
However, note that we have the building minerals that ensures that you
have all the nutrients you need during the cleanse, so you can stop
your own supplements during the cleanse as it is provided in your program.
Some people cannot do even the GENTLE detox. What do you recommend?
WILL NOT or CAN NOT... there is a big difference. Never force anyone
to cleanse. If a person sincerely wants to cleanse, detoxify but has
difficulty (i.e. they feel terrible), then it is because they are extremely
toxic. They need to spend a lot of time on an alkaline diet. We haven't
seen anyone who can not do the GENTLE DETOX. After a while they can
move up to a TOTAL DETOX with a few light liquid meals. Between cleanses
they need to maintain a diet of almost all, if not all, alkaline forming
foods. Return and do another cleanse after a few months. People who
have cleansing reactions on the GENTLE DETOX have a sluggish liver.
Liver Right or similar may help these extremely toxic people. This may
be the only answer for the weak-willed. It is important to remember
that some people have a subconscious death wish, which we cannot change.
And you may be able to help them see it and eliminate it. Approximately,
about 20% of the population has this death wish and they will subconsciously
sabotage their cleansing process and desire to get healed.
Why is it important to drink a lot of water and why is distilled or
ozonated water preferable?
It is very important to drink a lot of water because
it is what is needed to move toxins out of the body. Distilled or ozonated
water is preferable because of its ability to remove inorganic waste
from the body. If when returning home you are unable to get this, purified
water is the next best choice (even a combination of the two is all
right). Do not drink or take baths in water with chlorine or fluoride
in it, as chlorine has been proven to cause cancer in people. There
is extensive research showing that fluoride is very toxic, as well.
However, please note that regular intake of distilled water is recommended
only for a short period of time and for certain conditions only.
Will I be able to continue my cleanse at home and still go to work?
Yes, most individuals are able to do the whole program
while still working, though taking the time off during your TOTAL DETOX
allows you to rest and do your enemas/colemas when needed. This question
usually indicates a fear of unexpected trips to the bathroom. Although
there's no guarantee that this won't happen, one's bowel movements should
NOT include diarrhea or cramping and so should not be a great inconvenience.
Can I continue my strenuous daily workouts during the program?
It is also important to note that the body is working
very hard to detoxify during this period and whenever energy reserves
are demanded for a workout, the body cannot focus its energy on detoxification
efforts. Perhaps during the first week of the gentle phase but moving
further into the program, one's workouts should become lighter with
only light walking and perhaps gentle arts, some swimming and snorkeling
during a Total Detox. Remember that strenuous workouts generate acids
which draw on the electrolyte mineral reserves. While cleansing, one
should avoid bouncing such as with running or trampoline workouts; while
the intestines are loaded with psyllium as this action could cause a
prolapsed colon.
Colonics/Enemas/Colema'.
If you suffer from frequent constipation, we encourage you
to avail of several colonics sessions before you arrive in our island.
While here we suggest you take one or possibly two colemas per day on
your cleanse. This will help to flush out the toxins and greatly reduce
cleansing reactions. If you wish to post-cleanse and continue flushing
your colon after you leave us, we recommend the use of a standard 2-quart
enema/douche bag. If you do this remember to use organic herbs rather
than some bought enema mixes as some of these have toxic substances.
What is the difference between having a Total Detox Cleanse and a Colonic
session?
A Total Detox cleanses more than just the colon. A colonic
cannot really remove all mucoid plaque unless it is already loosened
and ready to go. A colonic only flushes out the colon, which is about
4 to 6 feet in length. A cleanse is working on 22 feet of the small
intestine plus the colon. It also releases toxins from the entire body,
which takes time. The colonic is only effective in removing everything
that tied down in the colon, including mucoid plaque. Colonics are good,
but they do not compare to a gentle or total detox, and they can assist
a cleanse.
Should coffee colema be continued by those with a toxic or sluggish
liver?
A specific coffee anema will flush the liver of toxins
but this procedure can be stressful to the liver and should be used
sparingly & should be stopped once the liver has been detoxed. Once
the liver is functioning perfectly; there will be little or no reaction,
such as a feeling of relief, after a coffee enema.
How often should I do coffee colema while cleansing?
Coffee enemas are recommended only when regular colema water has failed
to relieve a severe cleansing reaction (headache, nausea, etc.). It
is also recommended that they be done only once or twice/week.
Should I do colema daily while cleansing?
Yes, we feel it's beneficial at least one colema on a
Gentle cleanse, possibly two if on a Total cleanse.
Will the caffeine in a coffee enema have the same effect as drinking
it?
If done properly, no. The coffee is preferentially absorbed
in the enterohepatic circulation and goes directly into the liver where
it becomes a very strong detoxicant. Only when done improperly and the
coffee goes into the systemic circulation that coffee causes insomnia
and heart palpitations; increases reflex response; lowers blood pressure;
increases heart rate; over stimulates the adrenals; irritates the stomach;
and leaves a toxic residue in the body. Herbs that are added to the
coffee enema to help the liver also are absorbed and are beneficial.
Mucoid Plaque
Do you think everyone has mucoid plaque?
Yes. Most everyone had a poor diet early in life, even if they have
since then changed to a healthier one. Most likely they created the
plaque and there it is awaiting removal. Antibiotics destroy all the
friendly bacteria and chances are that about 90% of those who used these
drugs have the wrong bacteria established in their guts, which probably
contribute towards excess mucoid plaque. Parasites abound in the bowels;
they also stimulate plaque increase. And there is salt, alcohol, drugs,
processed foods, that is almost inevitable in today's diet.
I'm seeing green stuff coming out but is this the psyllium shakes and
the herbs?
It could be our green drinks plus that you see and we
are doing our best to get you alkaline. There is a good chance though,
that the green stuff is mucoid fecal matter or lymph. Psyllium is never
green unless one dyed it green! Whatever!! Be very glad that you are
releasing mucoid plaque as well as whatever else you need to get out.
How do I know if I'm releasing mucoid plaque?
Mucoid plaque takes many different forms and generally
speaking, anything that looks a typical to one's usual fecal matter
is possible plaque. One way to check it out (though some will not like
to do this!), is to pull a suspect piece of matter to the side of our
strainer/catcher with chopsticks and attempt to cut through it. Most
will be surprised to find it quite tough and rubbery and difficult if
not impossible to sever. For many, this little test can lend itself
to increased enthusiasm (It really is plaque!) Doctors say that they
do not see any plaque with the sigmoid scope - that goes from top to
bottom, i.e. pink intestinal skin.
Does a cleanse create plaque?
No, a cleanse does not create plaque, it removes it.
Many doctors do not know what they are looking for when they say they
can't see it. Plaque has been around far longer than a cleanse. There
is a photograph of mucoid plaque in Color Atlas of the Digestive Tract,
plate #439. The authors comment; A particularly bizarre stool, from
a young woman with irritable bowel syndrome. There are reports from
people who had done 40-day water fasts. Late into their fasts they suddenly
expelled long black rubbery ropes (as they described them), this is
mucoid plaque that is released without the program that we have.
Health Problems
Can a person with diabetes, multiple sclerosis or lung conditions do
a DETOX?
Yes, provided they work with a qualified practitioner while cleansing.
Diabetes, multiple sclerosis and lung conditions are serious conditions.
DO NOT TRY TO PLAY DOCTOR there is now medical doctors who are well
informed of the alternative methods and this includes detox cleansing.
If you are in doubt, visit and consult with an holistic and alternative
practitioner to support you during your cleanse.
Can I start a cleanse if I suspect an ulcer?
We strongly recommend that you do not proceed with a
cleanse if you suspect an ulcer. Other conditions that preclude doing
a cleanse are the following: ulcerative colitis, bleeding hemorrhoids,
fissures and any suspected internal bleeding. We recommend working with
a health care practitioner that uses raw juice and similar therapies
to heal the condition first and only when full healing is established;
proceed with the GENTLE detox to begin to begin your cleansing program.
What is recommended for persons who are taking prescription drugs but
wish to go the natural way?
People taking prescription drugs are people in serious
situations and we cannot recommend they go off their prescriptions (although
we certainly would not use them under any circumstances). Encourage
the person to learn about alternative remedies and assist them in locating
a practitioner who can assist them in their goals. Each individual is
different; when a person is removing themselves from drugs they need
monitoring and personal assistance from someone trained to guide them.
Do not attempt to do this unless you are properly qualified. Anyone
who has or had hepatitis, or any kind has a problem with his or her
bowels definitely needs or cleanse.
What is recommended for persons with blood sugar/chemical imbalances?
Always cleanse only with the guidance of a practitioner
experienced with cleansing and fasting. One thing that would help is
to avoid all fruit and carrot juices. Green drinks made from vegetables
such as cucumbers and kale which are lower in natural sugars are fine
and should make the process easier. Diabetics need to monitor their
insulin carefully. Their normal dosages will change during a cleanse
and will most probably decrease. People with sugar problems need to
work on the liver and suppressed emotions. Look for the poor me: Attitudes,
feelings of rejection, childhood abuses, suppressed anger and resentment.
Can a person who has had their duodenum and most of their jejunum removed
- still cleanse?
Yes they can do a cleanse because if you can eat, you
can cleanse. The duodenum and jejunum are the most important parts of
the alimentary canal for digestion and assimilation.
Can a cleanse be started if the person has some mucus, blood in stool
and a lot of flatulence or irritable bowel or ulcerative colitis?
Yes, a cleanse can be started but only under the guidance
of a natural health practitioner. You must remember that we cannot treat
diagnosis or claim to cure anything. Testimonies from hundreds of clients
have claimed that they benefit greatly from a cleanse. If a person is
generally in good health and has the conditions stated above they can
start a cleanse. They should pace themselves and be observant that they
do not cleanse too fast.
Irritable bowel and colitis are caused by what?
Think! There has to be a cause! Most of the time there are specific
pathogenic microorganisms, including candida, various bacteria, and
often protozoan parasites. There are numerous lab tests verifying this.
Medical Doctor's antibiotics are not always effective and when they
are not, they don't know what to do. Medical doctors can do some amazing
things sometimes, but they flunk when it comes to chronic and degenerative
disease. Follow the advice of a medical doctor when it comes to treating
bowel problems and some day you'll probably have bowel cancer.
Why is it that conventional medicine cannot successfully treat
these bowel conditions?
Simply because their drugs do not always work and they do not
understand natural healing or cleansing. It is foreign to them and they
did not learn this in medical school. It is risky for us to say that
we don't know the cure, but we have learned that healing starts with
a clean colon, the proper bacteria and detox formulas for building the
bowel have been formulated to achieve this, a good vegetarian diet,
full of fresh fruits and vegetables and lots of fresh vegetable juices
are also a must. This treatment works wonders on just about any condition.
What a great blessing to know about these simple natural remedies.
What do you suggest for someone without a gallbladder and chronic diarrhea?
Over 99% of the time, the gallbladder did not need to
be removed, but once it is, it can be very difficult to maintain good
health. These people will usually start gaining weight. Their bowels
will become weaker and more and more polluted. The liver still continues
producing bile even after gallbladder removal; and because there is
no longer storage for bile it becomes an added burden for the liver;
hence the necessity of regular liver detox. Many will develop sugar
problems and may end up with diabetes; they should take great care of
their body. We recommend digesting only organic raw-semi raw food and
work diligently in removing mucoid plaque and do a TOTAL Detox at least
2 times a year and do a GENTLE Detox in between. Juice fasting about
a week per month; every month together with water fast for 2 or 3 days;
Practice meditation and if possible practice yoga and other gentle arts
too. Learning to visualize and breathe is good and in visualization
imagines: like you are filled with vibrant health, enthusiasm for life,
joy and love being expressed to everyone, and most of all make every
attempt to truly connect with God and do what comes naturally.
Cleansing and Supplements
Why are the toxic metals in the minerals not a problem? (like
Cl, As, Al, arsenic, lead, etc.)
These minerals are in small, trace amounts and organic in nature. They
are not toxic in this form and they are derived from ancient vegetation
and are naturally chelated to plant proteins. Organic Al actually transmutes
into silica and then into calcium according to Professor Lewis Kervran.
