What is detoxing and cleansing?
Basically this is a process by which a person undergoes a
program usually involving some diet change or supplement to
the diet in order to try to eliminate from the body some of
the toxins and parasites that can build up in the body over
time.
Factually, we live in a chemical society with numerous potentially
harmful chemicals all around us in our environment. They can
be in our homes, place of work, shops, restaurants in fact
everywhere. Over bodies are constantly eliminating harmful
substances through the urine, bowel movements, sweat and breathing
etc.
However,
many toxins can remain in the body either lodged in the fat
cells or in organs or intestines and it is important to try
to help the body from time to time to eliminate these things.
A
car can usually run a long time without an oil change but
eventually this will cause excessive wear on the engine and
the car could start to run poorly. A regular oil change and
service can prolong effective operation etc.
Similarly
for the body. We recommend a cleanse/detox program should
be done at least once, preferably two or even three times
each year.

Why is it likely that I have parasites and toxins?
Certainly almost everyone who lives in a populated part of
the world will have some toxins in their bodies. This is just
by living a normal life in this chemical society in which
we all live. But what about parasites?
Research
has shown that the human body plays host to numerous other
organisms, mostly bacteria, most of which are harmless and
in fact help with the digestive process. However there are
very often harmful bacteria in the system as well as liver
flukes and intestinal flukes and worms of different types.
Not everyone has these but many 'healthy' people do have them.
It can sometimes be quite shocking but its better to know
and do something than not know and do nothing!
As
an example here is an article reproduced with kind permission
of Ohio State and some horrible pictures:
Ascaris
lumbricoides and Ascaris suum
(intestinal roundworms of humans and pigs)
Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest and most common
parasites found in humans. The adult females of this species
can measure up to 18 inches long (males are generally shorter),
and it is estimated that 25% of the world's population
is infected with this nematode. The adult worms live in the
small intestine and eggs are passed in the faeces. A single
female can produce up to 200,000 eggs each day!
About two weeks after passage in the faeces the eggs contain
an infective larval or juvenile stage, and humans are infected
when they ingest such infective eggs. The eggs hatch in the
small intestine, the juvenile penetrates the small intestine
and enters the circulatory system, and eventually the juvenile
worm enters the lungs. In the lungs the juvenile worm leaves
the circulatory system and enters the air passages of the
lungs. The juvenile worm then migrates up the air passages
into the pharynx where it is swallowed, and once in the small
intestine the juvenile grows into an adult worm.
Why Ascaris undergoes such a migration through the body to
only end up where it started is unknown. Such a migration
is not unique to Ascaris, as its close relatives undergo a
similar migration in the bodies of their hosts (view diagram
of the life cycle). Ascaris infections in humans can cause
significant pathology. The migration of the larvae through
the lungs causes the blood vessels of the lungs to haemorrhage,
and there is an inflammatory response accompanied by edema.
The resulting accumulation of fluids in the lungs results
in "ascaris pneumonia," and this can be fatal.
The large size of the adult worms also presents problems,
especially if the worms physically block the gastrointestinal
tract. Ascaris is notorious for its reputation to migrate
within the small intestine, and when a large worm begins to
migrate there is not much that can stop it. Instances have
been reported in which Ascaris have migrated into and blocked
the bile or pancreatic duct or in which the worms have penetrated
the small intestine resulting in acute (and fatal) peritonitis.
Ascaris seems to be especially sensitive to aesthetics, and
numerous cases have been documented where patients in surgical
recovery rooms have had worms migrate from the small intestine,
through the stomach, and out the patient's nose or mouth.

Will I feel better after doing a cleanse/detox program?
You will feel the difference between before and after.
The
products we sell have been carefully designed to give powerful
results. We suggest that you start slowly and gradually increase
the amounts taken. You should also improve your diet and exercise
routine if necessary.
After first doing a mini program for a few days and getting
a good result you should plan to do an even more thorough
cleanse/detox perhaps a few weeks later. Simply by using the
same products but increasing the quantities taken you can
achieve an even better result.
You should refer to the program instructions for fuller details.

Is a cleanse/detox easy to do?
We have designed our program so that it is fairly straightforward
to complete. Please note that the same program can be completed
at different levels of intensity. By starting on a low intensity
version of the program you give the body a chance to gradually
eliminated unwanted substances/organisms.
If you dive in at the deep end then the body can have too
much to do all at once and you could experience a "toxic
rush". This could result in unpleasant headaches, lethargy
and general uneasiness.
This can be a natural part of doing a cleanse but please take
it easy. Find a level that is good for you and stick too it.
You are the best judge of how your body is reacting. Just
be sensible, go at your own pace. Start slow and progress
quicker as you gain confidence and by sensing how your body
reacts.

Will I experience any adverse reaction whilst doing a cleanse/detox?
Sometimes when you are trying to get rid of toxins from the
cells of the body, too many get 'released' into the blood
stream at once and this can upset your system a little. You
may get an occasional headache or upset stomach or even feel
misemotional. This is part of the process.
However, you must use common sense, a little flush that turns
on then goes within a few minutes is ok but not if it lasts
for much longer than that. If this is the case then you have
released too many toxins into the blood in one go. Cut back
on the program a little until you are doing better. Then slowly
increase the amounts again but pay careful attention to any
symptoms.
You may have taken years and years to build up these toxins
in your system. Don't expect to get rid of all of them in
an afternoon. It can take a few weeks or even a number of
programs spread throughout the year to get a perfect result.
However, don't underestimate the benefit of doing short program.
This is far, far better than nothing at all.

Once I've done a cleanse/detox, how can I ensure I get
no more parasites?
Unfortunately,
parasites and toxins are a fact of life. However you can do
quite a lot to minimise the chances of getting "attacked".
Firstly ensure that any fish or meat that you eat is properly
cooked. Parasites are often found in raw meat and fish and
by proper cooking you can kill them off. Try to maintain good
hygiene whenever preparing food and do not bring uncooked
foods anywhere near meat or fish when you are preparing foods
such as salads etc which will not get cooked.
Ideally you should minimise the amount of meat that you eat
and follow a predominantly vegetarian diet.
Ensure that you and all of your family and work colleagues
etc. thoroughly wash their hands after visiting the bathroom.
If you have pets you should avoid facial contact with any
of them and always ensure animal excreta is quickly disposed
of in a safe manner.
Try to stop biting your nails or putting your fingers near
your mouth etc. especially if you have contacted pets, soil,
meat or other areas that possibly could contain parasites.
It is important to realise that parasites, disease and viruses
prefer to live in an unhealthy body. They thrive on people's
abuse of their own body. So by eliminating all or most by
doing a cleanse and .
