Cleansing
- the internal vacuum
By Leisa Harford BHSc (Comp.Med.) Adv.Dip.Med Herb.
The
practice of detoxifying and cleansing our bodies has been
with us for centuries in one form or another. Purging, vomiting
and bleeding are all methods that have been used historically
to clean out various body systems or organs. Today these
practices are employed only in specific circumstances, with
the majority of detoxing methods available being somewhat
gentler and more appealing. Imagine a relaxing yoga session
to open up your internal organs and channels of elimination,
fresh fruit and vegetable juices daily or some essential
oil baths and hydrotherapy. The range of cleansing and detoxing
options available today means there is something to suit
everyones lifestyle, condition and budget. Detoxing invigorates
both mind and body, increases immunity and decreases stress!
One
of the most popular and effective approaches to body cleansing
is the use of herbal formulas in conjunction with these
other methods. Herbs promote cleansing by assisting the
elimination of toxins from the organs and systems within
our body. The key organ involved in detoxification is our
liver, a large organ designed to filter the "natural" toxins
and waste products formed within the body - by-products
from our metabolic functions. This major "net" for trapping
toxins can become overburdened when continually bombarded
with some of the unnatural substances and we consume or
acquire from the environment around us.
Because
our body doesnt know how to process these toxins or excrete
them, they may accumulate to harmful quantities or be converted
into unknown substances that may interfere with our normal
metabolism. Our channels of elimination - the bowels, kidneys,
skin, lungs and lymphatic systems can all be affected as
a result of toxic overload, with natural cleansing processes
being impeded, giving rise to other health problems. These
can include poor digestion, fatigue, weight gain, headaches,
bad breath, body odour, skin problems and hypersensitivity
responses.
Many
of the herbal formulas available will contain a potent blend
of ingredients to support liver, bowel, blood, kidney and
lymph cleansing. Safe and effective liver tonic herbs include
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) and Dandelion root (Taraxacum
officinale). Milk thistle has the remarkable ability to
regenerate liver cells and offers a protective action against
environmental and ingested toxins, while Dandelion root,
widely regarded as the supreme liver tonic, can increase
bile production and liver function.
Blood
cleansing herbs including Yellow dock (Rumex crispus), Red
clover (Trifolium pratense) and Burdock (Arctium lappa)
assist with systemic toxic states and are useful for skin
disorders and sluggish digestive systems.
Adding
a high quality fibre to your regime will assist with absorption
and removal of wastes and toxins form your bowel, as will
increasing your intake of filtered water. Try Good Health
Flaxofibre or Flaxomucil (below), or MultiFibre capsules
(part of the Body Cleanse pack, but are also available separately. Prices).
Dry
skin brushing, to increase blood flow and remove dry cells,
will ensure removal of toxins via the skin is not impaired
and encourage new cell growth.
In
the warmer months it is natural for us to desire a lighter
diet full of fresh fruit and vegetables, with an increased
intake of filtered water and cool juices. After the heavier
foods of winter we can often feel sluggish and in need of
a clean out, so spring and summer are the perfect times
to consider a body cleanse.
Remember,
in order for our bodies to function optimally they require
a balanced nutrient intake, adequate rest and relaxation,
and plenty of love and laughter.
Internal
Cleansing - The Key to Optimum Health, Permanent Weight
Loss & Vitality!

Best Selling Author & Naturopath Ron Gellatley N.D
Amazing New
Bowel Cleansing Formula Flushes Your Body Of Harmful Toxins
& Parasites FAST!
If someone asked
me this question "What is the most important thing anyone
can do to ensure a long and happy life?" I would reply straight
from my heart "Internal Health".
I know from over
fifteen years as a Naturopath, if I can get a patient's
digestive system - the liver included - in good shape I
can do wonders. I have seen it happen time and time again...The
change in a patient once his digestive system, his liver
and his bowel are all in tip top condition, is absolutely
amazing.
The following
health conditions improve dramatically; Indigestion, Abdominal
Bloating, Irritable Bowel, Bad Breath, Constipation, Diarrhoea,
Nausea, Flatulence, Candida, Eczema, Diverticulitis, Stomach
ache, Body Odour, Nausea, Hiatal Hernias, Colitis or Haemorrhoids,
Depression lifts, Energy lifts, Spirits lift...The joy of
living comes back like a tidal wave...
An unfortunate
reality when living in today's modern world is we are exposed
to high levels of toxins in our air, the water we drink
and food we eat. And what's worse, if you are constipated,
these poisons back up and become trapped in your colon,
along with fermenting and decaying wastes which are re-absorbed
into your bloodstream, polluting your tissues and cells
causing many other health problems.
Every cell and
tissue in your body is fed by the bloodstream, which is
supplied by the bowel. When your bowel is dirty, your blood
is also dirty and so are your organs, cells and tissues.
This is why keeping your bowel healthy is absolutely vital
for a good healthy digestive system.
World renowned
Nutritionist Bernard Jensen D.C, Ph.D said; "In the 50 years
I've spent helping people to overcome illness, disability
and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel
management lies at the root of most people's health problems!"
There is an easy
and effective way you can get your digestive system back
on track and dramatically transform your life and feel healthier
and more energetic than you've ever felt before. Its called
"Internal Cleansing"! The purpose for internal cleansing
is to draw into the intestines from every part of your body
impurities, toxic wastes, pollutants and eliminate them
through the bowel. In a nut shell, Internal Cleansing super
charges your entire digestive system!
There is an Australian
Made product called "Quick Cleanse" which has taken years
to develop and is available over the counter from your local
health food store. Quick Cleanse is a 15 DAY Internal Cleansing
Program consisting of four exceptional herbal, multi-fibre
and nutritional products which work like a powerful "INTERNAL
WASHING MACHINE" cleansing your entire digestive system.
The 30 herbs in
this program stimulate the major digestive organs (those
which are primarily responsible for purifying the body)
and the fibres act like an "INTESTINAL BROOM". Unlike laxatives,
'Quick Cleanse Program' does not reduce muscle tone in your
intestinal tract or cause abdominal pain.
Over the 15 days,
your body will feel fantastic. Probably the best you have
felt in years. If you are over weight, it is not unusual
to lose weight while on the "Quick Cleanse
Program".
No
More Constipation!
New Bowel Cleansing Formula Works Like An Intestinal
Broom Flushing your Digestive System of Unwanted Waste &
Worms FAST!
"Do
you suffer from the following symptoms of an unhappy colon?"
Weight gain (especially around the abdomen), poor digestion,
abdominal bloating, fatigue, bad breath, constipation, diarrhea,
and gas/wind.
If you're suffering
from one or more of the above symptom's your colon needs
urgent help.
Constipation...Sickness
of Western society!
When the bowel is underactive, toxins are more likely to
be absorbed through the bowel wall and into the bloodstream.
If you suffer from constipation you need to take action
now before these toxins accumulate in the body and cause
other health problems.Keeping your colon clean is absolutely
essential to your long term health & vitality. It also
helps your liver function better! This improves your metabolism,
burning up fats, proteins and carbohydrates converting them
into energy.
Too
many people today rely on laxatives!
Unfortunately, most laxatives only treat the symptoms and
don't get to the cause of the problem. Many operate by irritating
the colon, causing the bowel to move until the laxative,
together with anything else free enough to flow out, is
expelled. These laxatives don't do much to to break down
the stagnant material within the colon to move it out. Further
more, the long-term use of irritant laxatives may cause
lazy bowel.
Your
Colon Is Your Body's Sewage System!
As silly as it may sound, a healthy colon is the basis of
a healthy body. In fact, most people don't realise how important
a healthy colon is in maintaining optimal health.
CLEAR
Your Clogged Bowel Of Unwanted Waste FAST!
If you want to clear your Colon and have your bowels functioning
regularly within 14 days, include the following herbs and
foods fibres to your daily diet. Psyllium Husks, Slippery
Elm Bark Powder, Oat-Bran, Rice Bran, Soya bran, Carob Powder,
Cascara, Golden Seal, Black Walnut, Rhubarb, Elcampene,
Clove, Wormwood, Sage, Fennel and Dandelion.
Within weeks it
will have a remarkable effect on your bowel. It not only
improves the elimination of waste, but you do it with ease.
I urge you to give your colon a cleanse every 3 months.
If you do, you will definitely feel the difference in yourself
and your health!
Helps
rid your body of Intestinal Worms!
Worms expel waste material into your body that may be associated
with other health problems, diarrhoea being the most common.
The herbs within the Bowel Cleanse were specially selected
for worm elimination. These help rid your digestive system
of intestinal worms and their eggs. It is recommended that
you go on a bowel cleansing routine at least once every
3 months. You may be shocked at what you see coming out
of your body. One thing is for sure, these little ugly creatures
are better down the toilet than in your body.
Probiotics
Stay friends
with your digestive system!
Today, many people
suffer with digestive problems related to changes in the
balance of the bacteria that populate our intestines. Of
the 100 or so trillion cells that make up our body, more
than 90 trillion are bacteria found in the digestive system.
Maintaining a healthy balance of these organisms is essential
to prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and yeasts
such as Candida.
For centuries,
specially fermented foods such as yoghurt and kefir have
been used to restore the healthy bacteria. Known as pro-biotics,
strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, bulgaricus, bifidobacteria
and others, help to control problems caused by the overuse
of antibiotics, diarrhoea and gastritis.
Probiotics and FOS to aid the growth
of probiotic bacteria in the management of gastrointestinal
disorders, to help maintain healthy digestive function and
help improve general well-being.
Fructose
Oligosaccharides (FOS), also known as Inulin, are low calorie,
non-digestible Polysaccharide dietary fibres derived from
chicory or dahlia roots that assist the growth of probiotic
bacteria, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli that use it as
a source of energy.
Probiotics are recommended for:
.
Antibiotic users - Commonly, antibiotics kill
not only the pathogenic bacteria but also the friendly bacteria
which, in turn, upsets gastrointestinal microbial balance.
. Floramax may help in restoring the optimal
microbial balance in the gut.
. Controlling Candida - Candida albicans may cause a wide
range of gastrointestinal problems including bloating, flatulence,abdominal
cramps, constipation and /or diarrhoea, chronic
candidiasis such as vaginal thrush and urinary tract infections.
.
. Contraceptive Use - intestinal microflora are involved
in the metabolism of sex steroid hormones. The destruction
of the microflora population and concomitant enzymes could
reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and normal
hormone effects.
. Production of B Vitamins - proper microflora are important
for the synthesis of vitamins K and B12, folate pyridoxine,
biotin, pantothenate and riboflavin.
Antibiotics:
Because probiotic organisms may be affected by some oral
antibiotics, Floramax
should be taken at a different time of day to antibiotic
medication.
