_ Cleansing the Body from the Inside Out
Does this seem like an odd concept? Well not if you think about how much of our insides we clean on a daily basis:

• Mouths – “Brush your Teeth” – How many times a day does your dentist recommend?
• Noses – Kids & Old people love to pick them in public
• Eyes – Sleepy, crusty, gunky eyes we wipe away
• Belly button – the fuzz, dirt & grime
• Genitals – baths, douches

These are only the parts we have access to. For parts we don’t have access to we have the Excretory System. It cleans our bodies every second of everyday (skin/lungs/kidneys/urinary tract/colon).  Now you’re probably wondering, “Why do I need to do more than what nature is currently doing?” The answer: our bodies weren’t designed to handle the amount of toxins that we encounter in our modern lives each day.

The need to cleanse our bodies can be compared to house cleaning. Most of us have a weekly cleaning schedule that includes cleaning only the high traffic (high visibility) areas. During Spring cleaning we clean behind the couch, wipe down the cobwebs, finding dust and dirt where no one has even been.  Your body has the same need for a deep cleaning cleanse.

The human body can only process so many toxins at a time and everyone has their own tolerance level. When a backup occurs and toxins continue to enter, the body protects itself by storing them in fat cells. Negative symptoms begin to manifest and if the root problem is left unaddressed, in time what was once a minor irritation turns into a chronic & degenerative disease.

A cleansing diet is one of the best ways to break down the toxic stores and eliminate them from your body. This will result in increased energy, an immune system boost, a shift in unwanted weight, a clearing of skin, a lift of mental fog, and a decrease in the risk of disease & chronic health conditions. If life isn’t as easy as it used to be (little things are starting to slow you down) then you’re probably experiencing a toxic overload.

Purpose: To provide your body with a period of intentional rest and repair time in the midst of your (tapered down) life schedule that allows you to maintain an alkaline environment in your bloodstream, along with a retraining of your taste buds.

Cleansing on a periodic (recommended quarterly, with the change of the seasons) basis supports the body in eliminating foreign substances such as beauty products, household cleaners, pollutants in air, pesticides, preservatives, food additives, the list is endless. These toxins do accumulate in tissues and interfere with normal cellular function leading to diminished functioning of the immune, glandular and digestive systems.

Thereafter if it motivates you to stay with healthy eating then it has done its job. I hope to motivate you to permanently change your diet to a 75% raw food, 25% cooked food regimen. Permanent results only come from you permanently changing your diet & lifestyle. You don’t get permanently well unless you permanently change the way you live.
