Spring Cleaning Options!
. . .
There are many options for cleansing programs.
Some are very simple and are great for general detox support.
Then there are others that can be quite extensive in their cleansing effect on the body. These cleansers are usually a disturbance to our day-to-day activities.
And there are now cleansing programs that some practitioners have set up to be a group process. A number of people are doing the program at the same time and are there as a support for one another. These are under the supervision of the practitioner and are a specifically outlined program.
. . .
Here I want to offer two cleansing programs that are simple to use and can be done by you at any time on your own schedule.
I have found both of these to be less invasive on your day-to-day life. You do not need to retreat to do them.
There have been cleansers I have done that the very thought of being too far from a bathroom for any amount of time is a concern.
There are certain health conditions that would need such an extensive and powerful program. But these certainly need to be done under supervision of a qualified practitioner.
. . .
The first program was brought to my attention by a client, Anna. It is a self-contained kit by Integrative Therapeutics called Whole Body Integrative Cleansing System*.
It is a program that consists of 3 products all designed to work together to support and help stimulate and cleanse the liver and colon. It is a great program that can offer wonderful results! This is ideal for anyone who wants the ease of a complete system designed as a two-week program.
. . .
The next is a general program that I recommend to many of my clients and one I do myself regularly. It consists of Nature’s Way Super Thysilyn* and Nature’s Secret’s Super Cleanse*.
The general direction for these products is (1) Super Thysilyn (3) times a day with meals. The Super Cleanse is one you adjust to your body’s needs. I would recommend starting with 1 before bed and then in a day or two add 1 in the morning. Increase or decrease depending on bowel stimulation and your day’s schedule.
This program can be used long term for those who are working with a specific health issue or for a short term cleanse.
Super Cleanse is a wonderful combination of western herbs, probiotic, and Ayurveda herbs.
The goal is to stimulate more bowel movements and at the same time have a cleansing action on the liver and colon.
. . .
Both of these cleansing programs can be used any time of the year for detox support as well as when you feel the need to have extra support for the liver and colon.
. . .
Some basic guidelines when doing a cleansing program:
Drink plenty of water
Restrict your diet to simple healthy foods
Avoid alcohol, drugs, caffeine, sugars, & refined foods
Have your meal proportions lighter than normal
Focus on vegetables, greens, fruits, and simple proteins
Include light to moderate exercise
Skin Brushing and Exfoliating Showers
. . .
A wonderful and very simple liver flush you can add to either program or on it’s own is:
First thing in the morning:
Juice of a lemon
1 TBS Olive Oil
Some water to mix
. . .
One very important detail is diet during the cleanser. It is recommended to eat very lightly with meals consisting mostly of vegetables, greens, and fruits.
But it is also important to be aware of your protein needs. Adding in foods like Kefir, yogurt, hemp seeds, and almonds can be very helpful.
Also it helps if the weather is supportive of the lighter diet. In colder weather it is hard to restrict the diet to be too light.
I have recently been experimenting with a Candida diet and have found this one to be a wonderful basic diet that can be a support for this cleansing program as well as a base diet to use with many health benefits even if you do not think you have Candida. For details on the diet you can visit the site here. Please note that much of the information is given for free but for more information the books she offers are excellent.
. . .
The last part I want to address is the possibility of having a colonic or doing your own high enema. If this is new to you, you might want to begin with a colonic with a trained practitioner.
When you look at the diagram at the top of the page you can see how extensive the colon is and how useful a colonic or high enema might be to help cleanse the inside walls.
I offer a high enema kit for those of you that want to do this cleansing treatment at home. Contact me if interested for more information.
. . .
If you feel you need some individualized assistance and support on setting up your own cleansing program I now do offer personal consultations. For more information!
. . .
In the next newsletter I will be focusing on a wonderful new probiotic I discovered that raises the bar on what a probiotic is meant to be!
