Many
of our clients have asked us about cleansing
so we decided to explain this in further detail
for those who need better understanding. Cleansing
of the body is primarily the removal of waste,
toxins, unwanted pathogens (parasites, bacteria,
fungus, mold, virus's and viroids), and other
unnatural or unwanted chemicals in the body.
Cleansing body organs and muscle tissue can
be very beneficial for restoring vitality,
prevention of disease and slowing down the
aging process.
Cleansing?
What do I Cleanse?
First, and foremost one should start with
the bowels. Since the bowels are essentially
your body's sewer system, it is important
to keep them moving and clean. Your bowels
should move 3-5 times daily! This may sound
drastic but citizens of third world countries
have 3-5 movements daily. This is due of course
to eating more whole and fresh foods. We Americans
have developed very poor eating habits, especially
since the advent of the stand-alone refrigerator.
With most bowel cleansing one can expect to
move and dislodge old incrusted fecal matter
from the bowels. This may take up to a year
to complete.
Secondly,
there are a number of other organ and tissue
cleansing programs available. At present some
of these are: Kidney cleansing, Arterial cleansing,
Liver cleansing, Lymphatic cleansing, Parasite
and Pathogen cleansing.
The
Kidney cleansing will help break-up and dissolve
kidney stones and remove bacteria, and other
chemical substances trapped in the kidneys.
Arterial cleansing using EDTA is designed
to remove arterial plague, inorganic minerals
and heavy metals out of the arterial network.
This will help restore blood flow and help
prevent many arterial diseases. Oxygen from
improved blood flow helps to heal the body
and remove waste more effectively.
Liver cleansing is always done after a Parasite
cleansing for safety reasons. This cleanse
is very effective at removing Gallstones that
have yet to crystallize out of the ductwork
of the liver. 250-1000 stones may be seen
in your stools when this cleanse is performed.
Less drastic Liver cleansing can also be done
using herbs to strengthen and flush the liver
of harmful substances.
Lymphatic
cleansing will help the body to break down
undigested substances and flush toxins out
of the lymph nodes and lymphatic network.
This cleanse is usually done using the "Master
Cleanser" developed by Stanley Burroughs.
This cleanse is very effective especially
when it is done as a fast.
Parasite
and Pathogen cleansing are crucial for reducing
degenerative diseases such as Cancer and MS.
According to Dr. Hulda Clark & Rev. Marcy
Foley N.D., D.C. over 85 % of Americans are
infected with parasites and other pathogens.
These parasites are attracted to solvents
left in and absorbed by the body through use
of solvent laden body care products such as
lotions, and soaps. Pathogen cleansing can
have wonderfully positive effects on mental
attitude and over all feeling of well being
not to mention better immune system response
to infection and unwanted invaders. If you
have eaten out, touched paper money, shaken
someone's hand, played with your pets or petted
them then you are a likely candidate for a
host of parasites.
What
Can I Expect From Cleansing?
When cleansing starts each person will experience
their own detoxification effects. Since every
bodies chemistry and make-up are different
then so will be the effects of the cleanse.
This detoxification effect is sometimes called
a "Healing Crisis". Imagine that
your body is a still water puddle a day after
a good rain. The water looks nice and clean
until you stir it up with a stick. The water
becomes cloudy and filled with dirt. This
is essentially what is happening in your body
when you start to cleanse. You are bringing
out the unwanted substances for removal.
At
this point is essential that your Bowels are
moving 3-5 times daily to remove this waste
in a timely manner. If the Bowels are moving
3-5 times daily then the effects of the detoxification
will be reduced. Please be aware that if you
are extremely toxic then you may still experience
an unpleasant detox effect. Drinking 4oz.
of water every 30 minutes is also important
for helping the kidneys flush out toxins
Listed
below are some common detoxification or healing
crisis symptoms
-
Headache
- Diarrhea
(not more than two days at a time)
- Itching
(on a specific place or all over the body)
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fatigue
- Cloudy
and unclear thoughts
- Acne
breakouts
- Hives
- Low
grade fever
- Aching
in the joints
- Lower
back pain
- Emotional
release (anger, sadness, etc..)
These
are just a few of the detox effects you may
experience when cleansing. Again keeping the
bowels moving and drinking plenty of water
can dramatically reduce the unpleasant effects
of detoxification.
How
Long Should I Cleanse?
Depending on the type of cleansing you are
undergoing it could take a few weeks to a
whole year. Below are some guidelines for
particular cleanses. Remember it has taken
most of us years to develop toxic bodies.
With cleansing miracles are not achieved overnight.
- Parasite-1-3
months. Once a week maintenance after the
full cleanse is complete to keep colonies
in check.
- Kidney-3-15
weeks depending on condition of the kidneys.
Repeat once or twice a year.
- Arterial-A
minimum of 6 months up to 1-½ years
by oral means.
- Colon-A
minimum of a year to reestablish the proper
flora and cleanse them thoroughly
- Liver-Until
you no longer have stones coming out. This
may take several liver cleanses. Repeat
once or twice a year thereafter
- Lymphatic-7-40
days on the Master Cleanser. Repeat if need
be several times a year.
What
Else Can I Do?
Many clients have asked us what other therapies
would help out while cleansing is taking place.
Having deep tissue, massage, or any other
type of bodywork can be very beneficial for
those participating in a cleansing program.
This will allow for better blood flow and
removal of waste from the body. This therapy
can also be very relaxing and is sometimes
used to reduce the effects of the detoxification.
Stretching
or other physical activity can also help the
body during times of cleansing by again increasing
blood flow and providing more oxygen to the
body. Cardiovascular exercise can help the
body detoxify through sweating. Taking a Detox
Bath can help to pull toxins out through
the skin. Sweating is a great way to detoxify
the body. Visiting a dry sauna once a week
is a good idea.

designed to help you with specific cleanses.
