“WOW I feel great!”
Cleansing to return to health

A gentle cleansing program will put you on the road to a healthier digestive system, regular elimination and a healthier YOU! A cleanse must be done in a gentle fashion of rebuilding your body while you are ridding your system of unwanted toxins and waste materials. A minimum of 25 days is necessary to help your body return to health. A combination of cleansing herbs and whole foods are important while you are cleansing. It is important to identify “Non foods” on grocery store shelves and to avoid these “dead” foods, especially while cleansing.

Traditionally, ancient cultures have used occasional cleansing and/or fasting as a way to maintain good health. In our modern, industrial world, a cleansing program needs to support the body and nourish it at the same time. Healthy eating is important when undergoing detoxification. It is easy to incorporate a program that will rid the body of toxins; ensuring that we are also nourishing our cells with bioavailable nutrients. It won’t do any good to remove toxins if you are eating junk food and/or processed foods. Our bodies absorb nutrients easily from real food; the liver and the digestive tract recognize whole, unrefined foods and know exactly how to metabolize them. There exists a certain synergy in whole foods, which allows the body to absorb numerous
nutrients at once.

What are some signs that detoxification is necessary?

“Foggy brain”, poor sleep habits, irritability, hormonal disorders, skin problems, weight gain, constipation, food allergies or intolerances, frequent colds, headaches, inflammation are signs that a cleanse is needed. The wisdom of Ojibwa medicine taught of an eight-herb formula that is able to gently detoxify the body similarly to eating a whole food diet. These 8 herbs detoxify the entire body rather than just acting as a harsh intestinal cleanse. Many people have suffered from harsh cleanses and have had to change their lifestyle entirely during the cleansing program. The most thorough way to accomplish this internal cleansing is to cleanse down to the cellular level with a liquid herbal tea. This also allows each individual to adjust the dosage to suit his/her needs and reactions.

As you attempt to return to health you must

• Increase your consumption of raw foods
• Increase your consumption of clean water
• Be aware of the importance of chewing food

There are four main points to focus on while restoring your health

1) Flushing out the toxins – get started with water and good fibre
2) Regaining acid/alkaline balance
3) Food combining for complete vegetarian protein
4) Reading labels: identifying “non-foods” and eliminating refined sugars

The first week of a full body cleanse must be focused on increasing good soluble fibre and clean water intake to help ease the burden on the kidneys.
