The human body has not ‘kept up’ with technology. Human beings were never meant to eat the dyes, chemicals, synthetics and junk that is put in so called “foods” today. Your physical body is functioning internally exactly the way human bodies functioned 10,000 years ago. Because our bodies today are the same as in the past, it is critical to eat the same as in years past - centuries past. But, modern humans are adopting one of the most unnatural lifestyles known to mankind. Cancer rates, diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the United States alone are among the highest in the world as a result.
Toxins, such as lead, Mercury, and the side effects of aspartame's by-products of formic acid and formaldehyde, block nutrients from getting into normal body cells in the same fashion a lead shield blocks radiation during an x-ray. If toxins are present within your body, oxygen and the body's "food supply" cannot get inside your cells to supply needed nutrients, nor can the cells' waste products get out.
Diseases, such as cancer, now have an environment in which to form. When these body toxins are removed, your body can then restore a healthy balance. No one is free from the enormous amount of environmental toxins assaulting us in the world today. Detoxification on a regularly basis helps us remain healthy in a destructive environment. Detoxification has been a tradition that has helped humans survive through all ages and cultures. It is the foundation of every great healing philosophy.
The human body is one of the most miraculous creations there is. Just let it do its thing and witness a miracle everyday. Blink, breathe, think, feel, and heal a cut. When you let your body take charge of itself, it does quite well on its own!
All organisms are subject to disease. The causes of some diseases are unidentified, but they range from agents that invade or affect the body, from various environmental and psychological conditions, to hereditary factors. There are genetic diseases, infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, system and organ diseases, and diseases caused by contamination - contamination by chemicals humans have no business eating. The more chemicals we add to our foods, more new diseases develop. Are we to control disease, or is disease controlling us? People build strong healthy bodies from the correct foods - or they build diseased bodies from incorrect foods. We make health choices every day. Ask yourself “Is what I am about to eat going to nourish my body, or am I pleasing taste buds.?” If you are pleasing taste buds, then you are probably eating something riddled with excitotoxins. There are things you can do to eliminate toxic sludge that gets congested throughout your bloodstream, in your colon and in your organs. In any of my programs, I will always suggest that you change your diet/lifestyle to include “life positive” habits. Why do a cleanse then go back to the same old habits that got you ill in the first place?
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU DETOX
Have you ever driven by a landfill or sewer on a hot day or been in a room where something died within the walls? It has a distinct rancid odor. This isn’t the most pleasant thought, but when you have putrid chemicals, bacteria, or yeasts within your body that have been trapped for weeks, months, or years, it’s going to have a rotten odor when you destroy and remove it. As you detox your body, you may experience an unpleasant odor in your stools and/or from your pores until you have purged all the toxins. You may also experience headaches, initially, or flu-like symptoms, which is considered a Healing Crisis.
I advise people to look for their body’s weak link, which is usually an inherited weakness. This is where toxins within your body will be noticed first because this is the weakest part of your make-up. Toxins affect your weakest link first. By removing all chemical toxins from your diet and environment, you can focus on strengthening your weaknesses rather than slowly tearing them down over time.
A Universal Diet does not exist. People are individual and unique. So what works for one person may not work for the next. To find YOUR balance, it is helpful to know not only your own personal needs, but the correct preparation of whole foods, how not to overeat, how to choose high-quality foods, how to avoid too many unnatural food combinations, and the art of learning the broad range of nutritious foods, including chlorophyll-rich plants, the best source of certain fatty acids, and the dangers of food chemicals like aspartame, MSG, and food colorings.
The human body should be slightly alkaline in order to build an alkaline reserve for acid-forming conditions such as stress, lack of exercise, or poor dietary habits. When the body is too acidic as a result of acid forming foods, high fat, mucus forming foods, or toxic food residues, disease and infections proliferate.
I counsel people regularly and have witnessed most client’s restore their health by following a Detox Program specific for them, then changing their eating habits. Begin with detoxing your body of ALL residual chemical toxins and see if any adverse health symptoms remain. If you detox your body and change your diet to whole foods, eliminating chemicals and dyes, within 30 days your symptoms should improve if not completely disappear.
Remove all chemicals from your diet.
Learn to 'read' your body. Begin recording any health changes.
Be happy with yourself.
Restore depleted nutrients.
Exercise and get plenty of rest.
Eat 75% raw foods at every meal.
Drink water, water, water.
Get control of your life.

MASTER CLEANSER RECIPE (a.ka. lemonade diet)
2 Tbsp. Lemon juice (Organic source)
2 Tbsp. Genuine maple syrup (not flavored) Dark amber grade B
1 capsule cayenne pepper
8 oz. Very warm purified water
Combine all ingredients and mix. This cleanser is full of vitamins and minerals. There are superior benefits. For daily detoxification, drink this first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything else. It is high in enzymes, so it will prepare your digestion for what is to come.
Under most conditions, this is a safe program to use for a full three day cleansing, taking in no food, only this nutritional organic drink. If you are using this as a fasting cleanse, drink six to twelve glasses daily. This is a complete balance of minerals and vitamins and you will not suffer hunger pangs. All solid food is turned into a liquid state before it can be carried by the blood to the cells of the body. This lemonade is already a food in liquid form. It gives your digestive system a much needed rest while toxins flow out freely. Drink extra water and herbal teas throughout the day. You will have a quick response to healing. You will notice your body changing, and your eyes becoming more sparkly. Your energy and your moods will increase. This is a good cleansing program when you have digestive problems, if you are overweight, if you have problems assimilating food, if you need more energy, if you get sick a lot or chronic conditions.
The Master Cleanser is given on this site solely as a suggestion; anyone who follows it does so voluntarily. Since each person naturally reacts differently, each individual must use your own judgment as to its use. If you have diabetes or any other disease, check with your health care practitioner if you are not sure.

Following are my suggestions to accompany and accelerate
any detox-cleansing program.
· Drink lots of pure water throughout the day. Herbal teas are soothing to the colon and beneficial to digestion.
· Don’t drink caffeinated beverages or soda during the detoxification. They should not be a part of your every day diet anyway, but during a detox, it will better aid the body in helping clear toxins.
· Enzymes aid detoxification by helping digestion. Enzymes can be found in fresh raw fruits and vegetables (or herbs). Cooking destroys enzymes. Eat raw fruits and vegetables throughout the day as snacks. (Easy on the bananas though.) If you take enzyme capsules, they are best taken between meals to aid the body in removing and eliminating wastes and toxins. Juicing is beneficial.
· Reduce your intake of refined sugar, white flour, milk and junk food. To aid the liver in decongesting, you will need to reduce these mucous forming agents. However, any fermented milk products, such as yogurt, cottage cheese, kefir and buttermilk, is beneficial (if made without sugar) These are foods that contain cultures of lactobacillus, acidophillus and bifidophilus. These friendly bacteria known as probiotics are helpful bacteria that live in our digestive tract. This flora will help consume toxins roaming around in your colon.
· Detox baths support the kidneys and help the body get rid of heavy metals. (Detox bath tea bags are available at Holistic Alternatives.) They are synergistically blended herbs for aiding speedier detoxification. Place a bag in the tub and soak for at least 20-30 minutes. When the water turns murky or dirty, this darkness is heavy metals coming out of the skin. (Aluminum and mercury) The bag will turn the water a light color by itself from the herbs, but the murk is toxins.
· Before getting into the shower, dry brush your skin with a natural loofa brush. Start with the chest and abdomen area and work your way out to the limbs and down. Use circular motions until the skin gets rosy. This removes dead skin cells adhering to the skin and will open your pores to allow toxins to escape. It also increases circulation and moves lymph. Dry brushing regularly will help unclog troubled areas of the body - including cellulite.
· Last but not least, I would suggest that you eat wholesome foods. Try to eat fruits, vegetables, legumes, beans, seeds, grains and nuts. Whole foods are God given healing foods that offer substantial vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and amino acids.
Don’t be surprised at what comes out of your colon, and how much energy you will have. Good Luck!!!

The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It's that hard and black."
