Master Cleanse, can u have gum or mints?

Ive done it before and i dont quite remember?Master Cleanse, can u have gum or mints?
I tell this to anyone with similar questions about weight loss and diet~


Diets, pills, drinks, and gimmicks aren't going to help you. They just want to play on peoples emotions and insecurities so they can make a quick buck. Extreme weight gain takes months, so It could take months to lose it, and twice as much energy to lose. It's hard, takes willpower and determination to succeed. Here's how to do it with no guesswork, no starvation, just a dose of common sense and good judgment to do whats right for you to live a long happy healthy life~here's how~


OK, the real true way the body was created, to maintain your weight true to your height and build is to....





1) Eat as much unprocessed organic foods as possible. Lay off the prepackaged, starchy, homogenised, refined foods. Fresh fruit, fresh veggies, whole grains, and get as much protein from vegetation such as a grain called quinoa or a vegetable called edamame. They are high in protein, also red beans and rice. If you must eat meat, eat organic. Or buy from kosher markets. Drink 2 liters of bottled spring water. Four bottles a day of Fiji water is the best. It might seem more expensive at first, but think of it this way. Would you rather pay into aggravating medical bills stemming from your unhealthy lifestyle, or spend a little more serving you and you family healthy foods your bodies intended to have since the creation of mankind?


Think about it. There wasn't a whole lot of overweight couch potato settlers. They worked for what they had. Physical labor, for meager earnings, meager food rationed. yet, they survived. They were their average weight. There was not diabetes, or any strange diseases we see today. Don't believe me? Google it. Which brings me to number 2...





2) Exercise as much as you can. Even if it means short simple walks daily at first. Before all the modernisation of the world we walked, lifted, stooped, knelt, and occasionally ran. The ratio to exercise is burn off at least over half of what you consumed the previous day. Normal brain functions, stress, everyday activities besides exercise burns off the rest, and doesn't deposit as fat.





If you aren't healthy enough for physical activities, I urge you to cut out the prepackaged foods, and corn syrup laden drinks, and eat more natural foods. I guarantee you will lose weight from just doing that, than relying on herbal teas or nutrition supplements you found that say ';AS SEEN ON TV';





Be well

Can plain white vinegar be used to cleanse your face??

The normal vinegar?Can plain white vinegar be used to cleanse your face??
You can use vinegar as a type of astringent. Clean your face first, with a mild facial soap. Dilute the vinegar with water (about 50% water, 50% vinegar). You can apply it to your face with a cotton ball. You can dilute the vinegar with more water if you have sensitive skin. You just allow the vinegar to dry on your face, you don't need to rinse it off.





Vinegar is a mild acid, so be careful when you first try it.


Try Apple Cider Vinegar (available in your local grocery store).





You can also mix Apple Cider Vinegar with 50% water and use as a rinse for your hair. It clarifies your hair (gets out soap and shampoo that dulls your hair).Can plain white vinegar be used to cleanse your face??
it might sting and make your face red at first or even after that, so dilute it....alot of people with acne-prone skin use apple cider vinegar to treat acne...and you can also drink it(cup of water with a few teaspoons of it)...let me tell you it tastes 100% disgusting but its healthy, for detoxing, acne, etc. It contains acids such as alpha hydroxy acids which chemically exfoliate your skin, so over time it brightens appearance and discolourations...oh and if you ever use this to cleanse your face make sure you use SPF afterwards as the acids that exfolaiet make your skin temporary sun-sensitive so if you go out in the sun you'd end up darker rather than brighter. Plain vinegar can be used but i suggest you use apple cider vinegar. remember dilute it %26amp; SPF.
actually meand my siter use it (mostly my sisyter) but we hot it upp in a bowl in the microwave before useing it then we use a cotton ball and put it on our face. But it didnt really work with us...maybe cause of our skin types but try it and see maybe it will work for you :)
Maybe when it's diluted with water...because straight vinegar sounds like it would burn. White vinegar would work as well as apple cider vinegar.
idk but there is this type of papaya soap used for facial stuff i think it from the phlippines it works really good! i think its called ';Likas';

Can you please tell me what is cleansing diet?

The Master Cleanse involves eating no solid food, but instead drinking a mixture of fresh lemon juice, Grade B/Medium maple syrup, water and Cayenne pepper. It is to be consumed at room temperature. The mix contains some essential vitamins and minerals. The master cleanse is not a ';fast';, proponents say it is more gentle on the body. It is a detoxification program that proponents recommended minimum of ten days, but it is not uncommon for people to stay on the cleanse for longer periods of time.[2]





Since there is no intake of solid food, special precautions are taken to avoid constipation. Laxative tea, which is optional, is taken every night, and in the morning a quick draught of 32 ounces of lukewarm sea salt water serve as a top-down enema. This passes through the digestive system extremely quickly, usually causing defecation in 30-60 minutes.[2] Many individuals don't require the laxative tea as long as the salt water has the desired effect.





The lack of solid foods for such long periods may require careful breaking, as gut flora need to re-develop and mucus linings re-build. This usually involves drinking ';full strength'; juices for a day or two, while slowly adding in soups, then fruit, vegetables and nuts before resuming a regular diet. Some practitioners add probiotics at this time to help re-establish a healthy intestinal culture. [3][2] Some individuals have returned to their healthy diet the following day after stopping the program without any problems.Can you please tell me what is cleansing diet?
Detoxing is a way of cleansing or flushing off toxins and poisons from your body, which has become contaminated from food addictives, mercury, drugs, tobacco and alcohol.





Read here on tips to naturally cleanse your body:





http://weight-loss-secrets-revealed.net/鈥?/a>Can you please tell me what is cleansing diet?
a cleansing diet is when you cleaning your colon and/or liver. detoxifying your internal organs. i have done 3 so far. in 2003 or 2004 i heard this guy on the radio talking about cleaning your colon. your intestines has a lot of built of waste on the sides of the the intestinal walls. every time you eat all the food doesnt come out. some get stuck on the crevices of the intestines. i order the product it was called aloe ease colon cleanse. i worked okay. after using it for a while your feces starts to turn dark almost black and smell horrible. a couple years later i typed in colon cleanse on the internet to try to see if there were other products like that out there that was better. i came across colonix. i ordered kind of pricey BUT THIS THING WORKS. it works so good it scarry. now im not one to believe every commercial or add i see. if you go the website drnatura.com you will see the result. PEOPLE ACTUALLY TOOK THEIR S H I T FROM OUT THE TOILET, PLACED IT ON THE SIT AND TOOK PICTURES OF IT. thats the type of stuff that came out of me. look like some1 crapped out twisted intestines. and the smell. let just say no1 will go in the bathroom after u for about 30 min-1 hr. its cleaning out the chemicals. toxins from the food and comestic products that we use. go to the web site and you will see. i could be a little more graphic but i wont. im currently taking colonix and toxinout now. 2nd time doing it. and no i dont work for this company. just an average american.

Did anyone here use Dr. Schoals Colon cleanse and does it work?

Elvis,





I never actually tried Dr. Schoals cleans plan but I did use a program that worked great for me. I posted everything I did on my blog which you can read below.





http://www.squidoo.com/SuzanneGudakunstR鈥?/a>





Take a look at it and see if this program may work for you.





Good luck to you,

Has anyone used a colon cleanse or a detox cleanse for their system and it actually worked? If so what brand ?

No I haven't. I wouldn't want my asshole to blow out.Has anyone used a colon cleanse or a detox cleanse for their system and it actually worked? If so what brand ?
I was just researching this today. According to a survey, Enuvia is supposed to be the best. I am going to give it a try.Has anyone used a colon cleanse or a detox cleanse for their system and it actually worked? If so what brand ?
dude its horrible, expect to be in the bathroom at least a day and a half. i don't remember the brand, my doctor gave it to me. at least mentally you feel better knowing you got that popcorn kernel thats been stuck in your colon for the past 15 years out. gross but true
The question is ';worked'; for what problem? If constipation is the problem, then there are many natural ways to improve elimination. Increasing water intake, and eating more fiberous foods is a start; being more active (walking) helps too.





If you feel that a cleanse is necessary for overall health reasons, then these colon/detox cleanses, with herbs such as Senna Leaf, Buckthorn bark, and Uva Ursi leaf may be what you're looking for. A search for ';colon cleanse'; yields a large number of heavily advertised products with many testimonials. I would not invest in an herbal program without some guidance from a holistic health practitioner.





In summary, I'd find a local holistic health practitioner and ask their advice about your condition/problem. Detailed health information is best obtained in a dialog with someone who understands your specific concerns (obese?, pregnant?, allergic?)--these details can be critical for supplement recommendations.





P.S. You'll find that the mainstream healthcare system takes a dim view of cleansing. Just recognize that their worldview is slow to accept unorthodox ideas, it's the way science progresses. Don't take it personally!
You shouldn't be ';colon cleansing'; at all. Ever!


Worthless quackery. There is NO scientific evidence to support ANY need to ';cleanse'; your colon. Your colon cleanses itself, and you DO NOT get any ';impacted'; fecal material in there AT ALL. It is all a MYTH.





READ this before you waste any more time on this bullsh!t ';therapy';:


http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRela鈥?/a>





As far as ';detoxing'; goes, what nonsense. Your body ';detoxes'; itself constantly. Drinking lots of water will do NOTHING to speed the process, despite what some fools believe. Funky herbal preparations will do nothing special either.


Here's the plan:


1. You need to decide what ';toxin'; (or toxins) you want to get rid of.


2. Have a laboratory MEASURE how much of this ';toxin'; you have now.


3. Try the ';detox';.


4. Get re-measured for the ';toxin';


I can safely predict NO difference. The whole concept of ';toxins'; and ';detoxing'; is ridiculous nonsense. Save your money.





http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRela鈥?/a>
I would do this, however, I would have to do it in a room that protected the outside world from radioactive toxic waste.
I've used cleansing teas and WOW. It's crazy the gross things that come out of your body. I do a tea cleanse once a week, it's very gentle, you aren't on the toilet all day, and it makes me feel better. :)

    If anyone has tried it? Whats involved? and if it really makes you feel better and lose weight? PLease let me know if you've tried it. I already purchased it, so please don't try to sell me a different one. Thanks =)

    I haven't tried it (7 day cleanse-but I did try a similar product)--my Gastroenterologist says the information presented in the commericial is a bunch of hogwash--the product probably won't hurt you--but Cascara Sagrada--one of the main ingredients is a powerful laxative that can give you incredibly harsh gas cramping for several hours after taking it--this product contains Cascara Sagrada--try it, since you already bought it--but be prepared for possible abdominal pain.Has anyone tried the 7 day miracle cleanse?
    Eat only when hungry and that too not more three times a day. Take only water, and nothing else. in between.





    Chew each morsel 32 times.





    Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.
    I don't know about that particular product or website, but one trick I’ve learned about reducing calories is to “clean the pipes”. You can do this by eating more raw vegetables and fresh fruit. You can also streamline the process with fiber supplements. I like Metamucil and Dr. Schulze Intestinal Formula.





    Metamucil doesn’t taste too horrible, but you have to drink it fast or it will start to thicken once you mix it. You can’t make a batch and sip on it from your water bottle, for example.





    I prefer Dr. Schulze when I’m on the go or Metamucil is too inconvenient. With Dr. Schulze, follow the directions and only take the capsule after meals. I tried taking it on an empty stomach and got a belly-ache.





    Other than a daily multi-vitamin like Centrum Advanced Formula, the only other supplement recommended is an Omega-3 fish oil capsule like Carlson Laboratories Super Omega-3 Fish Oils. Omega-3 is a vital fatty acid that our bodies don’t produce. Omega-3 benefits are wide-ranging and proven by clinical studies. From heart health to depression treatment to pregnancy health, Omega-3 benefits are too good to ignore if you are interested in health.

    Has anyone ever done a colon cleanse?

    I need to fit into a bathingsuit in a week and i really would like to drop 10-20 pounds. i heard that by doing a colon cleanse it could help me, as well as help my metabolism and actually be good for you.





    i have no problems and am on no medication. i'm 20





    has anyone had any success with using a colon cleanser? and what brand did you use? thank you so muchHas anyone ever done a colon cleanse?
    Colon cleanses are just a scam, any weight loss is completely temporary and comes at a high risk. This procedure can prevent your colon from absorbing key nutrients and lead to nerve damage and even death if done repeatedly. All of Gary Y's references are excellent, I'm adding another.





    http://www.burnthefat.com/colon_cleansin鈥?/a>





    Here's a quote from the article:





    ';A fiber supplement might be useful in some circumstances, but the products you take that cause a mass of gunk to come out of you are a scam and I daresay, a blatant deception. The gunk only comes out of the people who take the product, because the gunk is created by the product!';








    Now, some people who have drunk the colon cleanse Kool-Aid are going to rant about my answer and give it a thumbs down. All I would say to that is do your own research and talk to doctors and see what you discover to be the truth. I'm not worried.Has anyone ever done a colon cleanse?
    A colon cleanse will not let you lose weight. You might have some initial weight loss, just because you're excreting fecal matter, but a colon cleanse is not considered a weight loss technique. In fact, really the only people who say such things are those trying to sell cleanses.





    A colon cleanse will have no effect on your metabolism. Whether you do a hydro-colonic or take some herbs, its not going to affect your metabolism. It's basically just an enema/laxative.





    Some cleanses claim that the human body carries around pounds of old fecal matter in the intestines, and that's simply not true. Like the person above me said...the colon is clean. It is self cleaning.





    By doing a cleanse, you disrupt the colonies of beneficial micro-flora that thrive in the intestines and aid in the digestion of foods. If you go with a hydro-colonic, you could perforate your bowel.





    There are some instances where a cleanse is needed, like if you need a colonoscopy, surgery, etc. But for overall health, maintenance, and weight loss, a cleanse is useless.





    The best way to lose 10-20 lbs would be to stop looking for an easy way out. Get on the floor and do some crunches, go for a run/walk, and cut back on fatty and heavy foods and pick fruits and veggies instead.
    I haven't heard of anyone dropping that much weight doing a cleanse. But, I know of people losing between 4 - 9 pounds. One time I had lost 3 pounds. I guess that's not what you are wanting to hear. You can use an enema or suppository and a laxative to cleanse. When I had to have surgery I had to use an enema and laxative to do a colon cleanse before the procedure. You should first check with your doctor's office or nurse to make sure this is okay for you.
    There is no benefit in colon cleansing. Your colon is clean. Colon cleansing can be dangerous.





    From Wiki:


    ';No scientific evidence supports the alleged benefits of colon cleansing. The bowel itself is not dirty and barring drugs or disease, cleans itself naturally without need for assistance. Some types of colon cleansing present potential hazards; the equipment used during colon cleansing has caused damage to the rectum in a small number of individuals, and caused amoebiasis when improperly sterilized. Certain enema preparations have been associated with heart attacks and electrolyte imbalances. Frequent colon cleansing may interfere with the proper functioning of the colon and can lead to dependence on laxatives or enemas to defecate. Some herbs used may also interact with or reduce the effectiveness of prescription drugs.';





    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_clean鈥?/a>





    With the greatest respect, I suggest a better fitting bathing suit would be a better investment.

I also try to eat right and work out when I can but that's all optional.

    I like to drink lemon juice with warm water for a daily cleanse. Will bottled juice be the same?

    No. There are additives to bottled lemon juice that cause much more harm than good. Stick with fresh and you can't go wrong. There's nothing in fresh but good, old-fashioned sunshine and love...how can you go wrong with that?





    Also, tap water is not the best water to drink in the city. Chlorine has been added, (among other chemicals that dry out and add toxins to the system) to the water you find in your tap. It's only logical when you think your question through. Your common sense will tell you what you need to do, follow that and you can't go wrong.





    Best to you, my friend!I like to drink lemon juice with warm water for a daily cleanse. Will bottled juice be the same?
    I use bottled--I get it at the health food store. The only ingredients are ';fresh pressed juice and puree from whole ripe certified organic lemons';. My only suggestion is that you use it soon after opening the bottle.I like to drink lemon juice with warm water for a daily cleanse. Will bottled juice be the same?
    I would hope so, it is lemon juice that is in the bottle. See the direction on the bottle to see how much to use in a 8 oz glass of water. Happy cleansing .
    Save your money on lemons. Just eat a healthy diet and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Tap water is best if you are on a public water system. Save your money on bottled water. You need the minerals that are in the tap water. Your body automatically detoxifies itself. Too much citric acid can eat the enamel off of your teeth.
    Juice from an actually lmon is always better, in bottles you never know what kinds of additives they use. Plus fresh is always better =)
    This rule applies to everything ';Fresh is always best';.





    Juices lose alot of their nutritional value as they sit. Plus, bottled juice probably is not pure. Just buy a bunch of lemons.





    I love to drink warm water with lemon daily also, I find it cleansing and calming!

  • Do squats make ur thighs bigger and has anyone done the master cleanse / lemonade detox?

    Squats do not really make your thighs bigger, but they do make your thighs firmer -- and fast. Remember, fat takes up less space than muscle, so even though your thighs feel harder after squats, they are actually smaller and take up less space.





    I did the master cleanser, and it ';works.'; You do lose weight primarily because you are on reduced calories and, in addition to weight loss, you do some cleaning of your system because your intestines and colon get a much needed chance to rest. My experience though, is that after about the second day or so, I was no longer hungry, but by about the 6th day, I started to get heart palpitations, which some people get when they are on liquid diets. So you have to be careful. Also, if you are doing the master cleanse for weight loss, my experience is that the weight came right back when I went back to eating normal foods. So, I think that while it does ';work'; you should be careful when using it. Good luck!Do squats make ur thighs bigger and has anyone done the master cleanse / lemonade detox?
    Lemonade detox? That sounds like way too much sugar--Do squats make ur thighs bigger and has anyone done the master cleanse / lemonade detox?
    I don't know about the thighs part, but I know of people that have done the master cleanse and had good results. They said they felt better and didn't have the sugar and bread cravings that they had before, they even lost some weight. I started out slowly by eating breakfast and lunch, then after 4p.m. all I drank was the lemonade. I did this for about 3 days, and I think I lost about 5 lbs. I also had less phlegm in my system. I noticed that when I eat dairy I end up with mucus build up, but when I drank the lemonade, even if I ate dairy I didn't have as much of a problem. I haven't done it exactly the way it says yet, but it still helped. The taste of the lemonade is different so it may take some getting used to.

    “If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear as it is.”?

    “If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear as it is.” William Blake (1757-1827) What do YOU think this quote means and how does it relate to this chapter?“If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear as it is.”?
    His statement would be deemed completely fallacious today.





    I would guess that he perceived that our individual perceptions are clouded by our innate psychological tendencies and by our unique interaction with the environment in which we exist.





    However, it is now accepted that perception is our one true window to the world outside of ourselves. Without perception, we could not exist.“If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear as it is.”?
    Actually it's if the doors of perception were cleansed , everything would appear as it is, infinite. So it's not a fallacy because you missed the most imporant word. Repost the question if you want a solid anwser. Report Abuse

    It just means that if people could see things clearer (not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally and mentally), then things would be as they really are.
    It means we cloud the way we see the present and existence with all the layers of the past.We only really see a little of what actually is by the blankets of past experiences. Hope this helps.
    Dr. Alfred Adler (Individual Psychology, collaborator with Freud on creating psycho-analysis) introduced to psychology the concept of subjectivity of perception and that we each see things through our own filters, that is, our personal need to see the way we want to see. He called this our ';perceptual schema'; or, more simply, our personal framework.





    The great Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa, in 1950 came out with the classic film ';Rashomon.'; In it, a bandit is accused of rape and murder and is being tried at the ';Rashomon Gate'; by a judge. Problem is, the two victims, a witness, and the bandit himself all offer competing yet equally plausible explanations of how the events unfolded. Each has seen what happened through his/her own eyes, experiences, and concerns. It is from this that we get the ';Rashomon Principle,'; which is that people see not what is but what they want to see...they may see some things objectively, but others they see subjectively, personally, and therefore incompletely or inaccurately.





    And then there is Soren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher/theologian, who proposed that ';subjectivity is truth'; meaning that what we believe to be true becomes the truth for us, and we act as if it is true (whether it is or not).





    The movie, Adler's concept of subjective perception, and Kierkegaard's existentialism all suggest that there is a problem with Blake's ';IF.'; (Many people, including many on this site, start with some ';if'; statement, then procede ';as if'; it is true...when clearly, it is not. For example, ';If pigs could fly...'; is a famous saying that starts right out being wrong! -- Dr. Bob

Rituals include the making of holly and ivy wreaths for protection. Kiss under a mistletoe for love. Give gifts to promote harmony of heart.Different ways of spending/celebrating New and Full Moon in respect of cleansing, healing %26amp; mystical rituals?
    For me I practice ritual with my coven, take time to relax in nature and just respect what the goddess gave us.
    Spend the evening in quiet reflection of the time and place and beauty of nature. I also feed the animals (or put out different foods for them) These things I do when I don't feel the need for a formal or structured ritual. I'm a solitary practitioner.

    Does anybody know of any good cleansing teas or detox ideas?

    Pomegranate juice is 70% anti oxidant where as most other detoxifying drink are 30% or less.Does anybody know of any good cleansing teas or detox ideas?
    Green tea is supposed to be good for the body. (Heard that somewhere)


    Plus, a handful of blueberries have enough antidioxants for a whole day.Does anybody know of any good cleansing teas or detox ideas?
    nettle (stinging nettle) tea is a very powerful detoxing agent - it is also a potent diuretic and contains several vital amino acids
    Senna tea--but be very careful its powerful. green tea with a slice of raw ginger steeped for several minutes is very good as a daily cleanser--and safe to use evry day. also green tea with a handful of fresh spearmint leaves.
    Sounds like you want to pass a piss test. Most drinks and pills are ineffective. Drink LOTS of water, and 1/2 cup of vinegar.

  • Cleanse to kick start diet?

    Hello!


    I would like to do a 7-10 day cleanse to kick start my diet. I want to do something where I can still eat solid food, even if only once per day.


    I have done the 9 day Isagenix cleanse, and I liked that, but it's too much money. It really helped me to control cravings before dieting.





    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Did anyone ever try the master cleanse?

    does it really work? how much weight did you lose? did you keep it off?Did anyone ever try the master cleanse?
    I'd like to try one if it works...but i heard you put all weight back on after youve had it ... =]


    but exercise and a healthy diet are much better =] xDid anyone ever try the master cleanse?
    Weight loss was a permanent drag for me until I tried out acai berry. I realize they say that pills do not work, but they certainly worked for me, and they have been shown on CBS News too. There is a free trial going on at the moment at http://gatolp.slimmingdietstore.info , try it out, what is the worst that could happen?
    agreed
    Those products are all BS.. Just stick with regular exercise and a proper diet

    Has anyone used or currently using cleansing products to lose weight?

    Hi,





    I have been using Isagenix for about a year. I started with a 9 day program. But, depending on your health a 30 day may be better.


    The 30 is a ';gentler'; cleanse with all the same products as the 9 day. I recommend the 30 day because it easier to change your habits over 30 days than 9 or 10.


    As for other benefits,


    I sleep like a baby...no lie. I had pretty bad insomnia b4.


    I have more energy, mental clarity and no more aches and pains in my knees. I actually started to exercise again! I have a 4 year old boy so the energy comes in handy. Really the weight loss is a side benefit to cleansing the toxins.


    The list goes on...Has anyone used or currently using cleansing products to lose weight?
    I have %26amp; I am still using them.

The hole enema hose up the bum thing just dosnt do it for me messy a simple drink dos it betterAnyone done an at home colon cleanse?
    Over the years, I have used psyllium seeds, bentonite clay and enemas to cleanse the colon. By enemas, I mean the bag that holds, I think, about two quarts of water, not the medicinal enemas sold in most drug stores.





    It's been at least 3 years since doing the cleanses so I don't recall specific brands for psyllium seeds or bentonite clay. You can ask in a health food store or check it out thru google. Metamucil is a common drug store colon cleanser that contains mostly (or completely) psyllium seeds. Hope this helps.
    I've done this in the past using New Start. It's an all in one internal cleansing kit, but you can order the just the colon cleansing individually. Works great and is quite convenient.
    Yes, I have done a colon cleanse before. Health Plus is a good colon cleanse product. You should be able to get it at your local health food store.

    Here i what i use:

    I wet my face with a little water then i wash with the Facial soap rinse dry my face really well.


    Then i put some on the Clarifying lotion on a cotton ball and wipe over my entire face and neck.


    Then i apply my moiturizer.





    Remember a little goes a long way hope this helped :)
    No you don't need to wash your face...That's what the cleanser is for :)





    Then apply toner and moisturise afterwards.
    I just wash my face with plain water.


    Anything else clogs the pores.
    Wet your face first,then apply cleanser and gently wash your face.Then rinse with lots of water and pat your face with a towel but dont completely dry it.Then,use your toner(if your skin is dry,avoid anything with alcohol and use witch hazel instead).after that apply moisterizer.Hope this helps.
    I use Shiseido gentle foaming cleanser with water and moisterise straight after. I do not use toner as I find they tend to contain Alcohol which dries the skin. But toner is good if you have pimples or oily skin. If you have normal or dry skin, omit the toner stage. What moisteriser do you currently use? Simple is a very good range..I used it for years. My friend's mum is 60 and looks only 45 and she has used simple for the past 20 years. But, now I earn more money, I use Shiseido which is just as gentle as Simple.. Good luck x x x

  • Acai berry detox and Colon cleanse?

    I ended up getting some of that Acai berry detox, but never got the colon cleanse, does it matter what type of colon cleanse to get or do I have to get a certain one or something?Acai berry detox and Colon cleanse?
    To tell the truth I havent checked out any of the acai berry programs but I might. For now I am just sticking with blackberries on sale.Acai berry detox and Colon cleanse?
    Most of the colon cleanse products work the same way, they either use some sort of laxatives, strong herbal teas or anti-parasite capsules. You can find a good article about this over at web MD (URL shortened)





    http://www.bz9.com/colon-cleanse
    Acai is one of the hottest products in the health and nutrition industry, and it is very difficult to go through a day where you do not see an ad online for one of many Acai products on the market. These ads promise amazing health benefits from the Acai fruit such as; anti-aging, cancer prevention, a boost of energy, and mood improvement. If true this would make Acai an amazing fruit...but is it too good to be true?





    Being a long time Acai user I can emphatically say ';YES!'; Acai pills has made a dramatic difference in my life. It's the first thing I have to drink every morning and it gives me enough energy to accomplish all of my goals each day.





    I used to be a huge Redbull drinker, but always hated the inevitable crash I would get just a few hours after drinking one. When you take Acai berry pills you get that same boost of energy without the caffeine crash.





    Since I prefer to get my vitamins from as many natural sources as possible, I consider the Acai berry my natural multivitamin. It contains high levels of essential fatty acids, is rich in amino acids (19 amino acids to be exact), and is a good source for vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E. On top of that it is a great source of fiber and contains calcium, potassium, magnesium, copper, and zinc.





    The high antioxidant content helps fight off cancer cells and helps you grow stronger, healthier, hair and will give you smooth, glowing, skin. The Acai berry also helps boost your immune system so you will get sick with the common cold and flu less often.





    So, if you are asking ';Does Acai berry really work?'; the answer is a resounding ';YES';. Try the Acai berry pills for free (just pay postage) at:





    http://www.acaiberryselect.com/?aid=3265鈥?/a>
    The one that works the best for me is this stuff called bowtrol colon cleanse. Although to be honest I haven't used any other products so I can't really compare them to others. I can only tell you about my experience using this one.





    I've been using it about 3 times a year (once a quarter) and it really helps clean up my system. I think of it like a neti pot for my system (btw - if you suffer from allergies I also HIGHLY recommend using neti pot).





    From what I've learned and experienced, doing the colon cleansing helps get rid of the toxins that build up in your body. It's kinda like hitting the reset button on your digestive system. :)





    The colon cleansings really helps puts a spring back in my step.





    Anyway, I got the stuff I use through mail order. I put the site below if you wanna take a look.

    Has anyone had their colon cleansed, does it hurt, does it help and how do I go about doing it?

    You know what, there is this misconception that when 'colon cleanse' is mentioned, people immediately associate it with an enema.





    There are many ways to cleanse your colon.





    You don't have to have an enema if you want to cleanse your colon.


    You can do some cleansing by drinking aloe vera gel.





    Today, people like you and me are continually exposed to food which are heavily loaded with preservatives and contaminated with pesticides and fungicides.





    Nutrients are absorbed by your body through hair-like particles called villi which line the walls of your small intestines.


    Gradually, toxins accumulate around the inside walls of your small intestines.





    When this happens, the nutrients do not get fully absorbed into your system because the toxins already clogged the villi.





    Aloe vera gel 'sweeps away' these toxins and make the villi function properly. In effect, your colon gets cleansed.





    For additional discussion about colon cleanse, copy/paste this URL to your browser:Has anyone had their colon cleansed, does it hurt, does it help and how do I go about doing it?
    Quack alert!


    That ';colon cleansing'; crap (if you pardon the pun) is pure BS, lol.


    It does nothing for you at all. I mean, think real hard. If God wanted you to have a great big enema, he would have made enemas grow wild in the forest. Did you see mother nature giving Bambi a great big enema? No, you did not.


    This is phony and it is only a way for someone to make a quick buck.


    Eat fiber, drink water, exercise, and you are fine.Has anyone had their colon cleansed, does it hurt, does it help and how do I go about doing it?
    Its a big time enema and doesn't do anything good for your health, just fills their pocket book, If you want to detox your body, eat only veggies and fruits for 3 or 4 days.
    try cleansing yourself naturally


    maybe try fasting, or eating only certain types of vegetables, etc


    ask your doctor about more natural cleansing methods

    Acai Berry Supplements and Total Cleanse?

    What do you know about these products? Has anyone had experience with them? If so what were your results and what were some side effects? It can't be as easy and wonderful as it sounds...Acai Berry Supplements and Total Cleanse?
    My gf ordered acai berry power and colon cleanse pro from the site below. She's been taking them a little over a week now and has already lost 10lbs.Acai Berry Supplements and Total Cleanse?
    Because acai berry products are becoming very popular right now, there are some things that you need to take into consideration in terms of the acai pills that are advertised as part of the acai diet. Acai berries are only from the Amazon in Brazil, so anything that is not from there may not be acai, or may be very low quality acai. Because the acai berry is so perishable, much of the nutrient and antioxidant content of the berry may be lost not long after harvesting, unless it is somehow preserved to maintain its nutritional integrity. Many acai pills and powders are very low quality, because the process they go through rids the acai of its nutrition. One thing to check is the color of the pill or the powder. The acai berry is a very dark purple, almost black, and so any pill or powder that is medium to light purple is made up of very low quality acai. Because the popular thing right now is the acai berry diet, there are many companies trying to pass off low quality acai. Acai is not cheap, and with ';free trials'; you usually get what you pay for. Those are some things to look for.





    The acai product that I use is called Monavie, and it has worked great! It is a nutritional fruit juice who's main ingredient is the acai berry. Monavie has a facility right on the Amazon that allows them to process the acai immediately after harvesting. They have a patented flash freezing process that allows them to retain nearly all of the nutritional and antioxidant content of the acai. It is also a delicious addition to any diet. Since I have been drinking it I have lost weight, I feel healthier and more energetic, and I have noticed that I sleep better at night.
    I';m always a bit leary around those ads for that. But I have been considering doing the Lemonade/cayanne pepper diet ';Master Cleanse';. Just be careful and do as much research as you can.

    What is the best Diabetic cleanse?

    I've been looking up ways to cleanse my liver and my skin of toxins..I keep hearing about a lemon plus water...and sugar...but I'm not sure if that works...Basically I'm asking what is the safest way to cleanse the body of toxins if you are a Diabetic..I have Type 2 Diabetes...Something simpleWhat is the best Diabetic cleanse?
    The idea of ';cleansing'; your body from toxins is complete marketing by company's that want you to buy expensive products. Our bodies have their own system to get rid of these things. You can help it along by eating well (vegetable rich, fiber rich diet) and drinking water on a regular basis. Supplementing your body with a multivitamin is also a good idea if you can't always eat as well as you should. Try not to eat processed anything - anything that comes in a can, box, or packaging of any kind. Stay on the perimeter of the grocery store (produce, meat and dairy) and avoid all the crap in the middle. Even if you do perform some kind of ';cleanse'; it usually just makes you miserable because you're starving!! Good luckWhat is the best Diabetic cleanse?
    Your liver is a de-tox.





    Your liver and kidneys can cope with everything that isn't poisonous.





    You can do it, but it won't do anything for you, and you'll just be miserable.
    I would not add the sugar if I were you. Sugar is not good for anybody. Lemon and water will be fine, but the main thing is water. Read about the importance of water here.
    ';Body cleansing'; and ';cleansing the body of toxins'; is pure nonsense - a super way for the scammers to make money by scaring people the same way they do by pushing ';miracle cures'; for everything under the sun. Hogwash!

    The downside is you'll want to die for about forty eight hours but you won't. You'll just be there, on the toilet, sweating and shivering and begging god to take you. But he won't. Though your colon will be clean as a whistle!What is the best colon cleansing treatment?
    Beware of a rapid colon cleansing treatment; it can cause severe discomforts, like headaches, flu and depression. Most people therefore prefer a more gradual colon cleansing treatment. It is also wise to consult your doctor before starting colon cleanse.


    The best colon cleanse should always involve healthy eating.


    Eating a well balanced diet is one of the easiest ones that a person can do. Making sure that you limit the amount of fatty foods that you ingest is very important. Also by eating a fiber rich diet it can help to ensure that toxins that are in the colon get expelled.


    Drinking a lot of water is another easy way for people to keep their colon working optimally. Water is known for flushing the body out, and it is by doing this that it can help benefit the colon.What is the best colon cleansing treatment?

    Prune juice is cheaper and will do better.
    Everyone I know who has done it has put on about five pounds after they started eating again. Your body goes into starvation mode (because that's essentially what you are doing to it) and will store everything you eat once you start again incase there is another fathom. Everything in moderation. If you want to fast for whatever reason, do it without hurting your body. Eat nuts, heathy grain crackers and juice and water, basic %26amp; boring things for one or two days.

    Here's the situation (and laugh it up if you'd like):


    --I have my Grandmother here, who had just spent the night...and she had wet bed...MINE, in general. And many of us know that old people stink (no offense to those currently reading). My brother was supposed to take care of my bed, but he had decided to vacuum the bed's wet spot. The linen's dry, but now the vacuum reeks...and since we're trying to use it, everyone in the house--grandma aside--is suffering.





    ---Does anyone know how to permanently rid a vacuum of such a rank stench?! Please answer quickly---my brother's resorting to using coffee creamer as a carpet deodorizer....-_-Cleansing the stench from a vaccuum...?
    you should try putting some baking soda in the vacuum bag as it will help absorb the odour. you can also put some essential oils on the vacuum's filter as it will make the house smell lovely when you are vacuuming. I hope this helpsCleansing the stench from a vaccuum...?
    The company I used to work for sold a product they called Clean Sweep, that was nothing more than perfumed kitty litter or oil dry. You can make your own by simply buying a package of either product and sprinkling your favorite odorant on to it. Then spread an amount of it, commensurate with how badly the vacuum smells, on the rug and sweep it up. Once inside the vac, the odor is dispersed by the action of the air flowing over the materials, as you've experienced already. If the perfume, cologne idea doesn't help enough, then try spraying some Febreze on it and that may work better. The first thing you should do, of course, if you haven't already, is to change the bag. If you do use baking soda, use it sparingly. Powder that fine will plug the pores of any bag, (or filter on a bagless unit), and could result in overheating the motor from lack of air flow. Hope this helps.
    The actual fresh coffee grounds not creamer works great. Dry of course
    Get some Urine Gone at the pet store, drug store, or hardware store. Spray the inside of the vacuum and anything else where the odor remains.
    Generally, baking soda will absorb such odors.....Sprinkle baking soda on the floor and vacume it up. DO this 2-3 times, while emptying the container/bag in between. This should help :)
    If you have a bagless vaccum try washing the container. If your vaccum has a bag change it immediately. Throw down some baking soda in the bag and on the floor and vaccum. Change the bag again. Hopefully this will work for you. Add a bounce sheet to your new bag to keep it smelling fresh!!

    What will happen if you had a miscarriage and did not cleanse the blood left in your ovary ,by a doctor?

    Most of the time, nothing will happen.





    If you have had a miscarriage, you should probably see a doctor.





    Unfortunately, doctors generally do a D%26amp;C as standard procedure after a woman has miscarried to make sure all the tissue is removed from the uterus. A D%26amp;C, though, is a blind and extremely invasive procedure done with exceedingly sharp instruments. So, unless you have residual problems after miscarrying (like unusually intense bleeding, cramping, fever, etc.), I would tell the doctor no when he says he wants to do the procedure.





    I had a friend (not me) who was told by a doctor that she had miscarried and the Dr. wanted to do the D%26amp;C. The friend said no because she didn't want anyone ';pokin' around in there.'; She went to a different Dr. weeks later and, lo and behold, she had not miscarried; her baby was still alive. Thank God she had not had the D%26amp;C, which would have killed her baby. Hers is a very unusal case, but it makes you think twice.





    Usually all the ';stuff'; will naturally be expelled from the woman's body, but, if a woman does have an incomplete miscarriage, the leftover material in the uterus can cause infections, bleeding, cramping, and even death (basically the same issues as any woman who has an abortion where the dr. doesn't get everything out).What will happen if you had a miscarriage and did not cleanse the blood left in your ovary ,by a doctor?
    you should definitely consult a doctor. If im not mistaken, when something like this happens you are suppose to get your uterus cleaned out from left over blood because, it could infect you and your life could be in danger. but definitely seek a doctor.What will happen if you had a miscarriage and did not cleanse the blood left in your ovary ,by a doctor?
    I think you mean uterus.
    You sound very confused about pregnancy and your anatomy. (There is no reason for blood to be in an ovary--that is just the place where the ovum--eggs--come from. I am v ery worried about someone with so little knowledge of their body engaging in sex and/or getting pregnant in the first place. You really need to talk to a doctor, nurse, or counselor--SOON!





    Oh, and if you didn't have a d %26amp; c (the ';cleansing'; you speak of...), you could very possibly get very bad, even life-threatening,


    infection. Please see a doctor; I will worry about you.
    Was the doctor saying you need a D%26amp;C? This involves scraping the uterine lining and it removes anything that may be left over after the miscarriage (in case not everything is expelled from the uterus). If your doctor says you should, you probably should.
    awww sweety ....how old are you.... i am thinking u need a d/c ...go see u doc as soon as u can ok!!! u need to talk ...contact me if u want k ....but please see a doc asap!!! take care sweety!!!!!
    A d %26amp; c should be performed. The remaining residue left from the miscarriage would cause inflammation and possibly create a toxic infection in your blood system. This would make you very sick at the very mininum and could create much more serious issues for you and any future pregnancy that you would have. This could be transfered to the child during it's time in the uterus.





    See your doctor and follow the recommendations.

  • Is it safe to take milk of magnesium while detoxing ( body cleansing) ?

    I think body cleansing and milk of magnesium would a duplication. Not an appropriate way to lose weight on a permanent basis.

    What will happen if you had a miscarriage and did not cleanse the blood left in your ovary ,by a doctor?

    Your understanding of the workings of a woman's reproductive system are incorrect. There is no blood in the *ovaries* that has to be cleansed after miscarriage.





    Maybe you're referring to tissue that might possibly remain in the *womb* after a miscarriage? That happens once in a while. (But usually, when a woman has a miscarriage, everything DOES come out, and nothing has to be cleaned out.)





    IF that happens, then the doctor can do a D%26amp;C (i.e., scrape the uterus clean--or maybe vacuum it out with a suction device, like what's used for liposuctions or first-trimester abortions).What will happen if you had a miscarriage and did not cleanse the blood left in your ovary ,by a doctor?
    If you are referring to blood left in your UTERUS, it could cause an infection if it is not expelled through normal periods. If you feel this is your situation, I urge you to at least call a doctor. If you are in pain, you need to go to the ER. A pelvic infection could cause problems in conceiving and carrying future children.What will happen if you had a miscarriage and did not cleanse the blood left in your ovary ,by a doctor?
    It depends how far were you pregnant if you were less than ten weeks and you had a regular period you should be fine..I had more than 3 miscarriages and I had to get cleansed just once because I were almost 4 months pregnant

    Why do people fight for political power, you know genocide,ethnic cleansing,etc. is it to be able to play God?

    That's a big question. Certainly many leaders in Africa have a record of using their office to build a nice palace and salt away millions.





    Others I think are motivated by hate for another ethnic group - see Rwanda.





    A great many are after a Utopian idea but fail completely to see that the steps they've taken to create that nullify the end result (see communism!).





    In some cases people focus so much on minor flaws that they come to believe crazy things about their opponents, leading them to believe that anything and any action is preferable.





    i.e. loosing perspective. Bush's opponents are a good example of that one.Why do people fight for political power, you know genocide,ethnic cleansing,etc. is it to be able to play God?
    More about the baser instincts of humanity like greed, avarice, and lust for power.

    Are people swallowing Listeria germs with food everyday? Listerene[mouthwash] will cleanse LISTERIA germs?

    Are germs ,listeria, in mouths?


    Are people swallowing Listeria germs with food everyday? Listerene[mouthwash] will cleanse LISTERIA germs?
    Listeria is an infectious bacteria that affects the GI tract. It is typically spread from the fecal-oral route, and sometimes on contaminated food (which is occurring now in Canada). For healthy people it causes a diarrheal illness which can be treated by antibiotics. For newborns/elderly/people with immune problems, it can cause a life threatening infection and kill.





    Listerine is a mouthwash aimed at cleaning organisms colonizing the mouth. It won't clean listeria as this is usually ingested.





    What's the link between these two? They're named after...


    Joseph Lister - a 1900's doctor who found that cleaning instruments/hands decreased the spread of disease.

    Can i do a cleanse when I'm on my menstruation?

    i want to do a yeast cleanse will it still work?Can i do a cleanse when I'm on my menstruation?
    It depends what you mean by yeast cleanse.





    Are you going to take probiotics and grapefruit seed extract orally? That is the best way to deal with yeast. Just do probiotics in the a.m. ( a good, high count refrigerated brand) and grapefruit seed extract in the evening. Stop the GSE after a couple days and continue probiotics or start drinking kefir.





    If you are talking douching - no, menstruation is the worst time to douche. Frequent douching is not good, but if you want to douche for yeast, then use grapefruit seed extract diluted in filtered water to prepare the douche. You should only have to do it once. Douching regularly can cause yeast since you are messing with the bacteria. Only douche with either apple cider vinegar dilution or GSE dilution when you do. If you keep balance there, you shouldn't feel the need to douche.





    So, if douching, do as above and only when not menstruating.

  • Do you think colon cleansing is true? ( the procedure) ?

    ..like they get something on your *** then you bring it out of the toilet. i want to have a colon cleansing but i wanna make sure. you know doctors these generation only likes money and some don't really care about your situation.Do you think colon cleansing is true? ( the procedure) ?
    I was feeling very bloated and constipated every time I ate. I had a lump in my gut that didn't want to move. It almost felt like if I didn't go to the bathroom soon the stuff inside would come back into my stomach.





    I have been using bowtrol for 3 months now and have lost 15 lbs. I was not concerned about losing weight as much as wanting relief. After a month of use I have changed my diet to include at least 50% fresh raw food (veg and fruit, can't stomach the idea of raw meat of any kind).


    I researched the process of colon cleansing so I was aware of the symptoms to expect. As you clean out the colon of old fecal matter, the lining that allows nutrients to be absorbed into the body is cleared and will allow the toxins to get into the blood stream also and would make you feel sick until you get your colon cleaned out. I prepared for this by drinking more pure water, gentle extercise and getting more fresh veggies, fruits and raw nuts into my diet.





    Consider the following:





    Toxins can sit in your colon for weeks, sometimes months. This produces gas and bloating. A colon cleanse will eliminate all the toxins from your colon, which in turn will remove bloating and gas.





    An unhealthy colon will produce unhealthy bowel movements. Whether you are suffering with constipation or diarrhia, you need to get your colon back to optimal health where it is performing as it should. Once your colon has been cleaned regular, healthy bowel moverments will return naturally.





    Cramping and abdominal pain are caused by waste clogging up the colon. A good cleanse will elimate all the waste matter and leave pain and cramp free.





    Lack of energy and tiredness are often the signs of an unhealthy individual. When your body has to fight the toxins that sit in your colon, it can leave you feeling this way. After a cleanse, you will feel more energetic and active!





    Dry damaged hair and skin problems such as acne are directly linked to the toxins in your colon finally slipping through into your blood stream. A cleanse will greatly reduce such toxins absorbing into your bloodstream.





    There have been exhaustive studies done and it was discovered that the average adult had anywhere from 4 to 10 pounds of fecal matter on the colon walls. Not only that, but studies have also shown that a colon cleanse helped individuals lose weight and feel lighter as a result.





    All I know is it works and I am so glad I found this product.Do you think colon cleansing is true? ( the procedure) ?
    Of course it's true - and completely necessary for good health. I'm wondering if the people who have answered your question thus far are paid by QuackWatch or perhaps are medical professionals, or maybe they're full of - oh, never mind. I recommend seeing a ';naturopathic doctor'; about your health concerns.
    It's all a big scam. There are not 15 or 20 lbs of waste product stuck to the walls of you intestine. If you're interested in cleaning out your digestive tract due to digestive issues or just for the sake of your health, eat more fiber.
    It's a complete scam. Waste does not stay in the colon for a long time like they claim. It's just a way to get your money.
    It's bs. Pardon the pun. Go to this website and search ';colon cleansing';.

    Question about the master cleanse?

    I have read a couple things about the master cleanse and I came across an article that stated that you can eat some foods while you are on the cleanse but it didn't tell you in the article, because you had to buy the author's book.


    Does anybody have any idea what foods they could be. I want to do the master cleanse, but I'm worried that the lack of nutrients will be worse off in the end.





    Any help? Can anybody that's gone through the master cleanse let me know about their experience?Question about the master cleanse?
    Your worries aren't unfounded. I found this article a few days ago: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31329422/ns/鈥?/a> And its all about how the Master Cleanse and things like it are just glorified enemas that are more detrimental to your health than anything.

    Did the Clearasil Pore Cleansing Pads help or hurt your skin? ?

    i have been using them for about a week or two now along with washing my face with daily pore cleanser twice a day. At first it seemed like my skin for clearer, but now it seems to breaking out worse. I already had my period not that long ago so i know its not Period Acne. Did the Clearasil Pore Cleansing Pads help or hurt your skin? ?
    it may not be the best thing to use..because same thing happended to me..best thing is to use Neutrogena ProductsDid the Clearasil Pore Cleansing Pads help or hurt your skin? ?
    It could be that you are using them too often or that they're too harsh for your skin. Overwashing or using products that are too harsh can cause skin to be worse than usual. You could also simply be allergic to them. If your skin feels tight or dry after using them that's a sign that they are too harsh for your face. Try washing with a gentle soap instead and use a good moisterizer afterward. If your skin gets better than there's your answer.

    Has anyone tried colonic cleansing?

    Yes, I`ve been doing colonic cleansing the past 2 years, its the best thing ever. I do it 2 to 3 times a month. I have lost alot of weight, a smaller waist line, clear skin. I got alot of compliments, everyone see changes in your body. Colonics helps you to change your eating habbits. After removing all the toxicing from the body, you would rather eat salads, soups, less carbs, less sweet stuff, you feel better about yourself. Excercise along with colonics works.Has anyone tried colonic cleansing?

    What is an HPS cleansing program?

    Has anyone heard of HPS..which helps detox the body through fasting etc? I want to know if you have done it and how.What is an HPS cleansing program?
    well, i'll tell you i've never even looked at yahoo answers before, posted a question, or an answer etc. but today i did a search of HPS colon cleansing and i saw this question come up. very fortunate indeed since i'm a master faster(one who has finished the four levels of HPS colon cleansing) at HPS.





    to answer your question, an HPS cleansing program is a one week fast with juicing(drinking freshly juiced fruit juice) and twice a day colonic irrigations that you do in your own home.





    but there are levels, 4 in all, so 4 weeks of hps cleansing in all, each working toward detoxing even deeper physically, as well as working toward detoxing other parts of our being such as our minds and emotions. actually, when you cleanse the body, you just can't help having to work with other parts of the being.





    the cleanses are spaced out with anywhere from 2-4 months in between cleanses wherein a lot work is done to nourish the body that has been cleansed during the one week fasts and colonic irrigation. the space between cleanses is a very important time, and requires some effort at the beginning to integrate into one's lifestyle. but it gets easy.





    the program is amazingly beneficial. i can not and could not say enough for what it has done to change my life. you can check out some mine or other cleanser's testimonials at http://hpscleansing.com/group/forumdisplay.php?f=4....my name at the community forum is Alan_A.





    one benefit is that i myself have turned from an irresponsible person to a taker of responsibility in my life, and that all started by taking responsibility of my health through HPS. the skills and habits attained at HPS tend to spill over beneficially into the rest of life and that right there is a testament to the power and use of the program.





    another benefit of course is that i'm a thousand times healthier physically, mentally, and emotionally than i was when i started.





    if you have any more questions, i'd be happy to answer.





    with Gratitude, peace to y ou,





    sincerely, alan Alan_A

    6 Miraculous Foods That Cleanse Your Body





    Certain foods can help or hurt your body. In fact, some foods will cause you to gain weight while others can make you sick.





    On the other hand, certain foods can give you energy, elevate your mood and help you lose weight. You can use foods that cleanse your body to help you stay on top of and control your health.





    We are all learning these days that we have to help our bodies stay healthy. We live in an industrial age of chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and toxins that leak into our food from plastics and other packaging.





    All of these substance add up and can cause your body to become overwhelmed, leaving you tired and causing your metabolism to become sluggish.





    Foods that cleanse your body can reverse this by speeding metabolism, helping your body remove waste and giving you more energy. Certain foods will help when you are on a colon cleansing program, a body cleansing program and on a daily basis to help maintain good health. Here are some top miraculous foods that cleanse.





    Green superfoods are one of the best cleansing foods. Although it usually comes in a powder form to be mixed with water, it is considered a food because the whole plant is freeze dried and becomes re-activated when it is mixed with water - including all the enzymes and nutrients.





    Green superfoods are full of chlorophyll which helps naturally attract and remove chemicals from your body. They are high in protein, enzymes, B-vitamins, antioxidants to help fight free radicals and even dietary fiber. They aid in digestion which boosts your body's immunity to disease and helps your body break down and eliminate excess waste.





    Beets are one of the most nutritious foods for your organs of detoxification. They are full of nutrients, help cleanse and detoxify your blood, and are full of natural mineral water to help nourish your skin.





    They also stimulate your liver to work while protecting it at the same time. Recent studies indicate that betaine, one of beets natural components, help prevent coronary and cerebral (brain) artery disease!





    Shiitake Mushrooms are excellent for helping your body lower bad cholesterol. Recent studies are showing that they also help stimulate immune cells that help your body detoxify and clear the body of tumor cells.





    Studies in Japan are showing that an extract of the shiitake mushroom is more deadly to HIV-infected cells than the popular drug, AZT (designed to delay the progress of AIDS). These mushrooms will benefit your body cleanse as a food or as a supplement.





    Apples are considered an excellent food that cleanses because of the natural pectin fiber. This fiber helps fight the formation of cancer cells in your colon.





    Apples contain quercetin, which is a powerful antioxidant. This substance not only fights cancer, but protects your brain from degeneration, fighting Alzheimer's disease. A recent food database analysis also shows that adults who eat apples have less hypertension, which is a major factor of heart disease.





    Papaya is one of the tastiest cleansing foods. They promote digestive health with natural enzymes. In case you didn't know, a body with strong digestion has a stronger immunity and has the ability to remove built up waste from the body, which may be in the form of excess fat and weight. In addition, strong digestion equals a speedy metabolism.





    Papaya enzymes are also shown to lower inflammation in the body and improve your body's healing ability. In fact, many of the nutrients that make up the papaya are found to help lessen effects of asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and even osteoarthritis.





    Papayas provide plenty of nutrients and protection against colon cancer. In addition the high amount of vitamin C and vitamin A are essential for helping your body build and protect itself from infections, colds and flu.





    Kifir is a superfood by itself. It is a fermented food that helps provide plenty of good bacteria for your colon and intestinal area. It cleanses the intestines while adding vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed into your body. It can help establish healthy balance in your digestive tract and colon and helps promote the removal of waste.
