Below we discuss one important aspect to keeping one’s health at an optimum…detoxing.

 

MORE ON DETOXING

What is detoxification?

Our bodies naturally do it every day. Detoxification is a normal ongoing body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. But in our world today, body systems and organs that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely overloaded; thus many unwanted substances stay in our tissues.

If our bodies can't cleanse us anymore, can we do it through a detox program?

Detoxification through special cleansing diets may be the missing link to diseasedis-ease prevention, especially for immune-compromised diseasedis-eases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes and fatigue syndromes like Candida. Our chemicalized-food diet, with too much animal protein, too much fat, too much caffeine and alcohol radically alters our internal ecosystems. Even if your diet is good, a cleanse can restore body vitality against environmental toxins that pave the way for diseasedis-ease-bearing bacteria, viruses and parasites.

Remove the cause.

A detoxing/cleansing program aims to remove the cause of diseasedis-ease before it makes us ill. It's a time-honored way to keep immune response high, elimination regular, circulation sound, and stress under control, so your body can handle the toxicity it encounters. In the past, detoxification was used either clinically for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, or individually, as a once-a-year mild "spring cleaning" for general health maintenance. Today, a regular detox program two or three times a year makes a big difference not only for health, but for the quality of our lives.

 

Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., Nutritionist, writes "In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and dis-ease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for before any healing can take place".

 

Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., Nutritionist, writes "In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and diseasedis-ease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for before any healing can take place".

One of the colon’s main functions is responsibilitiesle is tofor ridding the body of toxic waste. More importantly most of the nutrients our body needs are absorbed through the walls of the colon. A normal functioning bowel should evacuate every 18-24 hrs, without the use of laxatives. If this does not happen, food becomes stagnant and begins to ferment; releasing poisonous toxins into the bloodstream. AllEvery tissue in the body is fed by the bloodstream, so when it becomes toxic we have a condition of autointoxication. This produces undesirable consequences and is the root cause of many of today’s diseasedis-eases and illnesses.

You cannot expect to be well if the main organ responsible for ridding the body of toxic waste is under-functioning. When the colon is irritated by diet, stress, drugs, chemicals, and other substances, it tries to protect itself by producing more mucus. This additional mucus can bind with the sludge from refined foods, such as white flour, and build up on the walls of the bowel, narrowing the lumen. As this toxic waste builds up, it inhibits the production of healthy bacteria, which assists our immune system & digestive functions. It becomes a perfect breeding ground for bad bacteria, parasites & free radicals. Food intolerances are said to develop as a result of a polluted system.

In the new millennium roughly 75% of people adopting the western lifestyle will more than likely suffer from an unhealthy Colon.

The western diet is generally low in minerals, vitamins & fibre & high in simple sugars, fat (specifically saturated) & often high in chemicals from processing ed foods.

Typical symptoms include,

CONSTIPATION	BAD BREATHE [Halitosis]	JOINT PAINS
ULCERS	HEADACHES	MALNUTRITION
CANDIDA [Fungal Infection]	LOW IMMUNITY	GASTRITIS
FATIGUE		DULL EYES
OBESITY	DIFFICULTY IN LOSING WEIGHT

bad breathe, Candida, constipation, difficulty in losing weight, dull eyes, fatigue, gastritis, headaches, joint pains, , low immunity, malnutrition, ulcers… tthe list goes on & on!

 

Various chronic and degenerative diseasedis-eases are said to stem from these symptoms if the cause is not removed. Acne, allergies, atherosclerosis, cancer, cataracts, Crohn’s diseasedis-ease, colitis, colon disorders, diabetes, gallstones, haemorrhoids, hypertension, memory loss and sexual disfunction are just a few.

 

What causes the intestinal tract to become stagnantate andand pollute the body?

 

Antibiotics	Kill off both good & bad bacteria. Good bacteria are vital for fighting off dis-ease & absorbing nutrients from our food. Without good bacteria your immune system is vulnerable & dis-ease is evident.
Nutritional deficiencies	A lack of vitamins, minerals & fibre interfere with the digestion & absorption of food. This slows down the digestive process & causes a build-up of toxins in the body.
Food allergies	can be behind many intestinal disorders. The main culprits are gluten, milk, dairy products & wheat. Try buying organically grown foods.
Immunologic disorders	Poor nutrition depresses the immune system & interferes with the production of natural antibodies that protect against infections & control harmful antigens.
Stress	can aggravate the digestive system.
Pancreas, Liver or Gallbladder Abnormalities	can affect the digestive process & the absorption of nutrients by the body. Heavy metals, isopropyl alcohol, benzene…must be avoided!

Step 1: Why should I cleanse my colon?

 

Ask Iyourself, is your body showing signs that it needs a colon cleanse?

• Are you constipated most of the time? (a colon cleanse softens and removes clogging colon congestion)
• Do you feel heavy and logy? (a colon cleanse helps you lose colon congestive weight & reduce mucuous build-up)
• Do you have gas, bloating and flatulence after you eat? (a colon cleanse helps you remove gluey materials that impairing your digestion)
• Do you catch a cold or flu every few weeks? (a colon cleanse releases excess mucous that harbors hanging-on cold and flu viruses. Ridding the body of toxins takes a load off the immune system, enabling it to fight off viruses)
• Are you tired most of the time for no real reason? (a colon cleanse boosts immune and liver response to give you more energy)
• Do you have a white-coated tongue, bad breath or body odor frequently? (a colon cleanse removes rancid foods that cause smells)
• Do you feel mentally slow and tired? (a colon cleanse lets more blood circulation get to your brain)
• Is your skin unusually sallow and dull? (a colon cleanse can remove toxic elements that are coming out through your skin)
• Do you have a degenerative diseasedis-ease like cancer, arthritis, M.S. or lupus? (a colon cleanse can remove diseasedis-ease-causing toxic settlements)
• Are your cholesterol numbers too high? (a colon cleanse increases absorption of cholesterol-lowering nutrientsfoods)

Do you have:

• Frequent, unexplained headaches or back or joint pain, or arthritis?
• Chronic respiratory problems, sinus problems or asthma?
• Abnormal body odor, bad breath or coated tongue?
• Food allergies, poor digestion or chronic constipation with intestinal bloating or gas?
• Brittle nails and hair, psoriasis, adult acne, or unexplained weight gain over 10 pounds?
• Unusually poor memory, chronic insomnia, depression, irritability, chronic fatigue?
• Environmental sensitivities, especially to odors?

Everyone has a need to cleanse themselves. Detoxing allows the body’s functions to rest. The greatest benefits of detoxification may be for people that do not enjoy a regular nutritious diet, are exposed to environmental toxins, have sensitivity to contaminants such as chemicals or perfumes, suffer from headaches, obesity, fatigue, excess mucus, digestive problems, allergies, skin problems, or have an addiction to any substance.

Colon cleansing is the first step on the road to recovery

. Providing the body with an environment that promotes healing is the key to improved health.

Benefits associated with colon cleansing are: toxins are removed, blood is cleansed, pH balance is improved, food intolerances are minimized, good bacteria is increased, energy levels are increased, feeling more awake and alive, lower stress levels, reduces food cravings, balancesreduces weight, enhances immune function, increases absorption and production of enzymes and vitamins, prevents diseasedis-ease, be more alert and inwardly attuned and a feeling of well-being.

In addition, cleansing the colon can help relieve a wide range of symptoms related to colon dysfunction.

We believe the benefits of colon cleansing are many, not only in terms of health, but also as it relates to appearance: the skin looks vibrant; cellulite, water retention, and blemishes disappear; and the whites of the eyes regain a youthful clearness.

**Detoxing is a great way to kick off a new you. Diet and lifestyle are essential if you want to feel the long term benefits of detoxing. If you need help in any of these areas please contact us by phone, fax or e-mailing us.

When is the best time to detoxify?

The best time to start a detoxification program is when you feel a need to make a positive change in your life. Harmonizing with the seasonal cycle is an ideal way of detoxifying. The change of the seasons is an excellent opportunity to allow ourselves to lighten up and eliminate toxins from our bodies. A perfect time to detox is after the festive season. Getting excess weight off and energy levels up is a great way to start of the year. *Prior to or just after surgery however, is not a good time to embark on a detoxification program, nor should pregnant, lactating women or young children be on a detox program.

There are various cleansing/detox programs that remove mucous layers from the colon alone, but for best results it is necessary to cleanse the stomach, small intestine and colon. A good natural cleansing program such as Winning Performance’s should do the following: break down toxic mucous build up, (toxins are any substance that irritate or harm the body, undermining our health and stressing our biochemical or organ functions), reduce the number of harmful organisms (parasites & bacteria) in the gastrointestinal tract & restore natural bacteria to the colon.

What is so special about Winning Performance’s detox programs?

We have been fortunate enough to have had substantial feed back from practitioner’s as well as hundreds of people who have completed our programs. This has allowed us to develop a range of highly effective, safe and easy to use detox programs. We are so sure they work that we offer a money back guarantee. So, if you don’t feel as though the program has done anything for you, we will refund you in full.

How long does it take to clean the colon and what program should I opt for?

Money aside, it depends on your age, diet, present and past health, and if you are suffering from colon related symptoms. Generally the 8-day and 16-day programs are what we term maintenance detoxes, which are done by healthy individuals who want to be proactive in the health. If you have done a detox within the last year then these are also suitable. The 20-day and 30-day colon detox programs are generally for people who are not following a healthy diet or lifestyle, have not done a detox before, are suffering from many of the symptoms listed earlier and who are over the age of 40. Saying that, we have some people who like to cleanse thoroughly and so even though fit and healthy opt for one of the longer programs.

It could take a week to a couple of months to cleanse the intestinal tract. How will I know? You will know when things are happening: your skin and eyes will look clearer, your digestion will improve, you will have more energy, and nagging aches and pains that have been around for years will disappear. You will probably could feel mentally better too, clear-headed, and less on edge.

Step 2: How do I eliminate diseasedis-ease-causing toxins from my body.

Ideally you should be having at least 1 and possibly -2 complete bowel movements every 24 hours. This enables the body to eliminate toxic build up within the digestive system. If you are not having regular and thorough bowel movements then you should consider adopting the following steps in conjunction with one of our colon detox programs.

1. Add more fibre to your diet. Fibre helps to increase the number of bowel movements. Fibre is also important because it reduces the number of harmful intestinal bacteria. In addition to these functions, fibre binds bile acids & other toxic products to move them out of the body.

Soluble fibre (pectin) slows down the movement of food through the intestine. Good food sources of pectin include apples, grapefruit, oat bran & broccoli.

Insoluble fibre speeds up movement of food through your intestines, helping prevent constipation & digestive diseasedis-eases (diverticulosis, colon, lung & bladder cancers.). Good sources of insoluble fibre include celery, whole-wheat, bran, kidney & pinto beans

2. Make your diet as easy- to- digest as possible. Eliminate Minimise hydrogenated oils, carbonated drinks, animal protein, dairy products, simple sugars (including alcohol), caffeine, artificial sweeteners, & canned boxed or foods.

Eat simple foods like beans (the best being Mung beans & brown lentils), rice (basmati or brown), oatmeal, oat bran, 100% natural juices, cooked or warmed fruits (like baked apples or warmed peaches) & vegetables. You can also use soy, beans & fresh yoghurt as your main sources of protein. Sipping on hot water (with or without lemon) during the day - for 30 days, during the healing process can help considerably. Chinese Green tea with a slice of ginger & some honey is refreshing, & acts as a powerful anti-oxidant, & helps balance the PH and assists with weight loss (thermogenic).

3. If you suspect your symptoms are caused by a food allergy, identify your "trigger" foods by going on an elimination diet. Start by cutting out all the main culprits - gluten, milk, dairy products & wheat - for approximately 90 days. Then slowly add them back, one at a time (waiting a week between each one) to see how your body reacts. The reason for detoxing over a lengthily time period, is to minimize the side reactions. Normally only a feeling of tiredness is felt as the body is busy ridding itself of the highly toxic sludge, which is being broken down and released. Possible side effects from cleansing toxins from the body include: migraine/headaches, nausea or flu, aches and pains, fever, exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, and even depression. The worst is normally experienced in the first five days.

Below is a list and what you can do to minimize the side reactions. If you would like further assistance please don’t hesitate to call.

Side reactions	What to do
Headaches	drink lots of water and if absolutely necessary take ½ an aspirin
Constipation	Take two mag caps and 2 grams of Epsom salts every 5 hours. (Until you have a bowel movement is had.)
Nausea/Queasy	When large amounts of old toxic material are released it can cause one to feel a bit queasy. At this stage there’s a slight possibility you may feel nauseasnauseous, this is the body’s natural way of getting rid of anything toxic to the body. Stop detoxing until you feel normal then carry on with the detox program.
Diarrhoea	Often when toxins are released too quickly, the body’s natural reaction is to move this toxic material out quickly. Use PRObiotic and Rooibos to help stabilise your stomach.
Lethargic/tired	This is quite common! When toxins are released the body has to get rid of them; this not only takes energy but puts strain on the immune system. Try getting more sleep and cutting down your exercise. If exhausted take 1 or 2 days off detoxing, to recover.
Flu symptoms	Again the immune system can be under strain when detoxing, so take a day off if you feel any symptoms appearing.
Pimples S/skin Rrash	Skin/scalp/armpits are used to rid toxins from the body. It is possible that a break out or rash on the skin is experienced. This will disappear so don’t be concerned.

Step 3: Nutritionally rebuild yourself - -

Ways of increasing healing power

With obstacles removed, your body's regulating powers are activated to rebuild at optimum levels. Eat only fresh and simply prepared foods during the rebuilding step. Your diet should be very low in fat, with little dairy (cottage cheese and yogurt are okay), and no fried foods. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and sugars. Avoid meats except fish and sea foods. Include supplements and herbal aids for your specific needs. Real healing takes place at the deepest levels of your body, your cells. All cells are fed by your blood. The nutrients that reach your blood get there by the way of the colon. So a clogged, dirty colon means toxins in your blood.

1. Cut down your intake of toxins. Become aware of what you are consuming or exposed to and minimize the intake of toxins. Eliminate as many unhealthy foods from your diet as possible, especially saturated fats from animal fats & dairy products, simple sugars, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, processed & junk foods, carbonated beverages & any food that you may be allergic to. Drink two litres of purified water per day (Bottled water is not always free of bacteria, fungi, carcinogens or toxins.) Stay away from processed (denatured/enriched) foods & buy as much organically grown produce as possible. Organic foods contain between 2 & 8 times the nutrients of conventional foods. Try eating 50% of your diet as raw foods. Eat fruit; research continues to show that fruit contain protective compounds. If not organically grown, rather peel skin as it may often hold herbicide & pesticide, which are sprayed directly onto the fruit. Eat plenty green salads (contain digestive enzymes) but use low fat salad dressing sparingly. Nutritional supplements are often needed & are useful but they can never be a substitute for eating healthily.
2. Decrease Bad Fats. Make sure you take in both Omega 3 & 6 oils (these are essential fatty acids). Cook only with extra-virgin Olive oil & eliminate hydrogenated fat, polyunsaturated vegetable oils (margarine & trans-fatty acids). Use butter sparingly!
3. Exercise at least 3 days per week. Both aerobic & anaerobic exercise is beneficial to ones health. When your heart rate is increased, so your blood circulates through the body, feeding the organs with new oxygenated blood, nutrients & also removes toxins from the lymph system. More tangible benefits are: helps strengthen the heart & cardiovascular system, increase bone & muscle strength, reduces fat, improves self-esteem & enhances mood. Exercise is not an option but a necessity as we age.
4. Cleanse the Colon & Organs. This should be done every 6-12 months to ensure optimal health. Cleansing the liver and kidneys annually is also advised as these organs deal with cleansing toxins and they themselves should be thoroughly cleansed.
5. Supplement wisely. Take supplements that fit your lifestyle & health history. To ensure your immune system is kept strong, the following are recommended: a broad-spectrum multivitamin or anti-oxidant, Vitamin C & E & any other mineral that your body may be lacking.
6. Seek out a positive practitioner. Having a practitioner that believes in the body’s healing power & in the above points is better than a one, who believes the body, is healed by pharmaceutical drugs. No drugs heal! That is not to say drugs are not useful in emergency or critical situations.

Detoxifying foods are important whilst detoxing

• ·They keep your body chemistry balanced and your body processes stable while you detox, so you don't become uncomfortable. Don't forget that Mother Nature is cleaning house during a detox cleanse. You may eliminate accumulated poisons and wastes quite rapidly, causing headaches, slight nausea and weakness as your body purges. (These reactions are usually only temporary and disappear along with the waste and toxins.)
• ·They regulate the speed of your detox so your body doesn't cleanse too fast or dump too many toxins into your bloodstream all at once that your body can't handle. Green cuisine keeps you from re-poisoning yourself during the detox process.
• ·They support your nutrition and energy levels while you detox, so you don't become too hungry or too tired. New healthy tissue starts building right away when the detoxification juices are taken in. Gland secretions stimulate the immune system during a cleanse, in order to set up a diseasedis-ease defence environment.
• Cleansing foods should preferably be organically grown and eaten fresh for best results. Only fresh foods and juices retain the full complement of nutrients and plant enzymes that Mother Nature offers.
• ·Fruits and fruit juices eliminate wastes quickly and help reduce cravings for sweets.
• ·Fresh vegetable juices carry off excess body acids, and are rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes that satisfy the body's nutrient requirements with less food.
• ·Chlorophyll-rich foods, like leafy greens help stabilize and maintain the acid/alkaline balance of the body and also have anti-infective properties. Since chlorophyll has a molecular structure close to our own plasma, drinking them is like giving yourself a mini transfusion. They especially help clear the skin, cleanse the kidneys, and clean and build the blood.
• ·Herb teas provide energy and cleansing at the same time, without having to take in solid food for fuel.

POSSIBLE DIET FOR COLON DETOX

Breakfast:

• On arising drink a glass of a hot or/ warm water and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
• Fresh fruit
• small bowl oats/muesli mix

Oats/Muesli breakfast mix - giving you a better start to each day!

1/3 cup Tiger or Rolled Oats from a health store with 1/4-1Tbs Linseeds then add boiling water or skim milk & allow to stand for 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of muesli (we use 3 different kinds of muesli to add variety), 1tsp-1Tbs digestive wheat bran (contains pectin, hemi-cellulose, lignan gums & mucilage) & add skim milk if needed. To sweeten, add some honey, molasses, nuts, fructose (not sugar) & Raisins.

Lunch:

• Green salad, fruit or steamed vegetables; e.g., potatoes or yams, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beets, asparagus, and cabbage or Salad (use salad dressing sparingly).
• Tuna, chicken, lentils, beans on brown rice or whole grain bread. Soy milk, plain yoghurt and nuts can be used to increase protein intake.
• Limit salad dressing or mayonnaise (don’t be fooled by the "low fat" on labels)

Dinner:

• Salad
• Rice or butternut
• Fish (preferably fresh & not processed) or Chicken (cooked without the skin in a little olive oil) + steamed vegetables. Soup, is good as it is easier for the body to digest compared to heavier meals.

TIPS

• Drinking lots of water and less caffeine will aid in flushing toxins from your body*
• Replace coffee and tea with Herbal teas -- e.g. peppermint, Chinese Ggreen Ttea, Cchamomile, Ppau d'arco, or other blends.
• If you feel hungry have a smoothie or protein/meal replacement drink. No later than 8pm.
• Seasoning: Olive or flaxseed oils can be used to cook with or for salad dressing.
• Try eating a salad with meals as these provide the body with digestive enzymes, which break down the food. Use herbs, yoghurt and lemon, in place of salad dressings as they are generally high in calories.

It’s not how much you eat but what you eat that determines how healthy you remain. Eating processed foods will result in mucous layers forming, these cause food to flow slower through the intestinal tract, causing blockage. This stagnant material becomes toxic to the body over time and can cause health problems if left. It is therefore important to eat a well balanced diet, which will provide your body with sustained energy levels and all the vital nutrients, fibre etc to keep you in good health. Rather eat smaller portions more often than the usual, 2-3 large portions per day. Remember that if you eat until you feel full you have eaten too much. Other tips for healthy eating include:

• Use salt very sparingly
• Limit foods that contain saturated fats (Animal fat, margarine)
• Eat small portions of any sweets/deserts, those foods that contain lots of sugar but little nutrition
• Eat at regular times of the day and chew your food well. Proper digestion begins in the mouth.

Here are some useful guidelines to eating healthily when dining out

Foods to avoid	Foods to substitute
Avoid fried foods, cold cuts & fatty red meat.	Choose poultry, fish, loin or sirloin cuts of red meat. Recommend broiling, grilling or baked foods.
Avoid food mixtures or casseroles	Choose plain potatoes, fruits and vegetables
Avoid croissants, sweet breads or stuffed bread. White flour products	Choose pastas, whole grain breads and cereals
Avoid butter, sour cream, salad dressings, sauces and gravies.	Choose lemon or lime juice flavoured vinegar, low calorie salad dressings, spices or herbs
Avoid excessive alcohol & sugary drinks	Choose non carbonated drinks and water to help rehydrate your body
Cut down on all dairy products!	Eat more avocado pears, red peppers and tomatoes.

Step 4: Continue to rejuvenate & rebuild – repeat cleanse every 6-12 months.

Once you have completed steps 1 to 3, it is important to keep with the healthier diet & to cleanse the colon every 6-12 months. An unhealthy diet causes compactions to form in the gastrointestinal tract and symptoms will reappear shortly thereafter. Remember healing ones self the natural way can be more time consuming but then again we are concerned with treating the cause of the problem and not merely hiding symptoms! The benefits of taking natural supplements will show in your improved health, just give it a chance!

TIPS & FACTS

"I consider the cleansing/fasting/detoxification process (they are different degrees of the same process of reduced toxin intake and enhanced toxin elimination) to be the missing link in Western nutrition and a key to the health and vitality of our civilization. In my twenty-five years of medical practice, I have used various detox and healing/rejuvenation practices both for myself and for thousands of patients. I can tell you that I truly believe that the combination of cleansing and detoxification is one of the most powerful healing therapies I have seen.

In truth, what I attempt to do in my writing and practice, is to place your health and that of your family back into your hands, because so much of it is up to you. It really matters how you live -- what you do and what you eat, and what you think and feel. Take hold and do what you can to be vital and healthy. It is really worth it! Be well." Dr L.Page"

Some sobering facts: In the US, 50% of all insolvency’s are caused through medical bills & 50% of those are in the last 14 days of life. If that isn’t enough to get one motivated to staying healthy, then I don’t know what is.

Ensure you get plenty of rest while detoxing. Don’t participate in too much exercise, light exercise is fine.

The day before you begin your detox, eat green salads and fresh fruits, and drink plenty of healthy liquids, so that the upcoming body chemistry changes will not be uncomfortable. A gentle herbal laxative taken the night before can be beneficial.

The colon, also known as the large intestine, is the last 5-6 feet of the digestive system followed by the last 5 or 6 inches which is the rectum. After food is digested, waste moves through the colon. The primary function of the colon is to absorb all of the excess water from the intestinal contents and use it to make the stool solid.

Is your digestion poor? The most common signal of toxic bowel overload is poor digestion. MostA people lot of us eat way too many, acid-forming foods - rich, red meats, and cheeses, refined-flour breads, sugary foods, salty foods and fried foods. They rob your body of critical electrolytes and they have almost no fibre for digestion. A high fibre, whole foods diet is both cure and prevention for waste elimination problems. Fibre’s significance comes from its ability to move food through the digestive system quickly and easily.

I had a weight problem and after trying almost all the slimming programs on the market without success, I tried your product. I used to eat a lot of food but now my appetite is less and I have started to loose weight. I also no longer suffer from constipation. Generally, I am feeling more energetic, my health has improved drastically. Tank you for the colon cleanse.

We spoke to the team at Winning Performance and on their advice did a colon, kidney and liver cleanse. Both my wife and I have felt the benefits of detoxing. With your guidance we have adopted healthier lifestyles. Mentally and physically we feel healthier knowing that we are doing something to minimize the effects of modern day living. Luc Vets

I developed itchy welts all over my body. I couldn’t function normally as a result. Three courses of antihistamines did not help. Your detox products along with a few changes have helped clear these welts. The detox was excellent and a must! Thank you for all your help which was available at any time. Yours Faithfully, Mona Gounden.

I am a 67 year old lady who used your 30 day program with very good results in my health. My weight dropped from 95.4kg to 83.5kg within 5 weeks. I now want to go onto your liver and kidney cleansing programs. Judy Doni

I was suffering from acute irritable bowel syndrome and the flu. I had visited my GP and Homeopath but without success. Then I read about your detox programs. My IBS problems have gone and I have gone the whole winter without the flu. There is a remarked difference in how I feel and look. I have more energy and enjoying life, once again. Regards W.Pienaar

HELP US, HELP THEM, HELP YOU! Education is the key, the more people understand how to maintain health the easier it will be to find health bearing foods. Grocery stores stock what people ask for.
