Spring is the time for making all things fresh and clean.  Whatever you want to call it . . spring cleansing or detoxification . . . now is the time to do it! 

A body that is cleansed of toxins is stronger, healthier and more vibrant. 

“Remove” is the first and most important of the 4 “R’s” in my company’s philosophy. (Essentials4life)

Remove –  flush out the toxic settlements

Replace –  supply the body with proper nutrients

Repair –  build healthy cells and tissues

Revive –  increase vitality and balance 

As Dr. Hazel Parcells, legendary healer and pioneering nutritionist stated:

“A healthy body begins with cleaning out the accumulated toxins of the past and preparing it to accept new and efficient nutrients.” 

“When the body is cleared of poisons, nature will take over and provide us the gift of health.” 

A few of the toxins that we encounter today are pesticides, industrial wastes, synthetic materials, food additives, car exhaust, and cigarette smoke.  Believe me, there are many more and some that we aren’t even aware of yet.  Most of these chemicals are foreign to our bodies.  Detoxification is not just a way to prevent or heal illness.  It will also bring a level of vibrant, energetic health that you may never have thought possible.  Detoxification is the link to better health that we are missing in our society today. 

Why should we cleanse or detoxify?

• cleanses toxic substances from various organs and system.  This allows our cleansing organs and our immune system to operate at their maximum potential.
• failure to eliminate toxins from the body leads to toxemia
  • When the elimination channels have too much work to do, they become inefficient, and instead of being carried out of the body, the toxins are forced into the bloodstream and settle into those organs and tissues which have the least resistance to toxic material. 

The major parts of our body involved in physical cleansing/detoxification are the digestive tract, the liver, our skin, our lungs, the lymphatic system and the urinary tract. 

These systems and organs are the sites designed within the body to process toxins either by eliminating them or transforming them into less threatening substances.  

The easiest and most visible method of detoxifying your body of toxins:  

Recall the way your body felt the last time you stood next to a waterfall or walked along a beach with the waves breaking at your feet.  You breathed deeper into your lungs and abdomen; your brain cleared and the pains in your joints subsided.  You felt relaxed and at peace with the world.   

These invigorating reactions were caused by the ionization of trillions of water molecules as they crashed to earth.  As you walk along the beach, your body absorbs millions of these negatively charged ions, which alkalize the blood and tissue.  

According to Dr. Theodore Baroody, author of Alkalize or Die, acid wastes attack joints, tissues, muscles, organs and glands causing minor to major dysfunction.  He asserts that avoiding disease and maintaining vitality as we age requires the maintenance of an alkaline environment throughout the body.  This is virtually impossible to accomplish in our high-tech, high-stress, toxic society unless we can walk on the beach everyday.   

The IonCleanse creates precisely the same environment as a walk along the beach, only more powerfully because your feet are in direct contact with ions being manufactured in the water.  Place your feet in the water, turn on the unit and within seconds, millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes. 

Fat and mucous residues found in the water after bathing reflect the wastes that have left the body during the 20 to 30 minute session. 

Healthy individuals can expect to feel lighter and experience a greater sense of well being from each IonCleanse session.  Many people with pain, edema, gout and swollen or deteriorating joints report considerable symptomatic relief from IonCleanse sessions.  Rashes, dark circles under the eyes, swollen joints, yellow-green and blotched complexions often indicate a buildup of tissue acid wastes inside the body.  Several IonCleanse sessions along with dietary modifications have been shown to reduce and even eliminate these conditions. 

In today’s toxic environment, tissue acid wastes, chemical and heavy metal residues build up on the body faster than ever before, resulting in a greater incidence of allergies and mental and physical incapacitation.  

When patients observe the vast amount of wastes that come out of their bodies and deposits in the footbath water, it has a highly beneficial psychological effect on them.  They feel a sense of being cleaned out and lighter.  Clients tell me that they sleep better; feel a great deal of energy the next day; and their joints don’t hurt; to name a few. One client who had suffered from psoriasis for years, after only 6 sessions, is psoriasis clear.  Her second session drew parasites into the footbath.     

The IonCleanse, in combination with a healthy, low-stress lifestyle, provides a thorough and efficient way to maintain high energy levels and long-term wellness.   The IonCleanse detoxifies the body more effectively and faster than any herbal or fasting protocols, with little or no stress to you.  The IonCleanse provides a comfortable and relaxing way to rid the body of toxins without precipitating healing crises and Hersheimer’s reactions.

Results of a 30 minute detox session

As an Iridologist, the first thing that I would tell you is “The Colon is King”.  Therefore, I must explain the following.  As you know, we must drink plenty of water to hydrate and to cleanse our bodies.  But there is a limit to how much water a person can safely and comfortably drink.  Drinking too much water is dangerous and potentially fatal.  Partly for this reason, the IonCleanse System has been designed to bypass the digestive system entirely.  Using the IonCleanse array, water is absorbed directly into the human tissues.  After its microbiological activity, the absorbed water leaves the body without engaging the digestive tract.  This entire beneficial process occurs without any effort or discomfort to the client. 

With this in mind, a colon cleanse would also be necessary for your Spring Cleanse/Detox.   

There are various products on the market for colon cleansing.  Ensure that the product you choose has a cleansing fibre, bowel stimulating herbs and chlorophyll.   

FIBRES: psyllium husk, flaxseed, apple pectin, Guar Gum, ginger, fennel, prune, alfalfa, citrus peel, licorice root. 

Whatever Cleansing Fibre Formula you purchase, be sure to follow the instructions on the package. 

Now that the toxins are ready to exit your system, you need a stimulant to assist in the process.  If you don’t assist in the “exit”, they could remain in your bowel and could result in constipation. 

STIMULANTS: Cascara Sagrada, Turkey Rhubarb, Aloe Vera, Barberry, ginger, sage, black walnut, Slippery Elm.

With taking both the Cleansing Fibre and the Bowel Stimulant, your stools should be bulky and on the soft side.  If you are experiencing cramping, cut down on both formulas. 

CHLOROPHYLL: Chlorophyll acts as an antiseptic, strengthens tissues and aids in detoxification.  Sources – alfalfa, barley grass, wheatgrass.  It is suggested that you take chlorophyll during any cleansing program, as well as on a regular basis for enhanced nutrition.  Chlorophyll comes in two forms, liquid and powdered.  Even though chlorophyll is safe to take every day, remember that it does have cleansing properties.  You may experience cleansing symptoms such as slight headaches, fatigue, skin breakout, etc., if you take too much.  Adjust your intake accordingly. 

Once you have completed your cleanse you will feel lighter, have more energy and have an overall feeling of well being.  Your body will love you for it!
