While It's certainly not spring cleaning season, most of us do a thorough cleaning of our home now and then. We dust behind the tv, vacuum the corners, sort out closets, clean behind the refrigerator (this is really a note-to-self, must move fridge!), etc. Why? We know that once in awhile, no matter how well we maintain our home on a regular basis, we need to deep clean it, not only to give it a facelift, but to preserve its beauty and extend its life!
Why not have the same attitude about your body? In other words, once in awhile, its a good idea to shake it up, clean it out, throw off the toxins and start from scratch... to give your cells a facelift and preserve their life potential. Why is this so important? Just like your home, your body accumulates waste products from your food, water, air, etc., and if you don’t take measures periodically to clean out the toxins, they can accumulate in your organs, fat, liver, intestines and bloodstream, interfering with the healthy functioning of your body.
Do YOU need to detox?
- People who are burdened by a toxic overload will demonstrate numerous symptoms. Symptoms that may be overlooked or even ignored, but never-the-less, a warning sign from their body. Signals that you may need to undergo detoxification include:
- chronic respiratory problems, asthma, or sinus problems; abnormal body odor, bad breath, or coated tongue; frequent unexplained headaches, back or joint pain, or arthritis; environmental sensitivities, food allergies, or multiple allergies; poor memory, mental confusion, insomnia, depression, irritability, or chronic fatigue; brittle nails and hair, psoriasis, or adult acne; and being under- or over-weight.
If you’ve never tried detoxifying your body, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Following a cleansing program can produce more energy than you’ve had for years, take off several unwanted pounds, get a sluggish digestion back on track, increase the absorption and effectiveness of your supplements, and can even make those little aches, pains and worrisome symptoms diminish or disappear. If you can do a little cleansing on a regular basis, once every couple months or so, the health benefits can be absolutely tremendous!
If you are interested in detoxing, you might be asking, What products should I use and how long should I detox?
As you may know, I trust, recommend, and use the Shaklee products for a variety of reasons including; they are clinically proven, safe, have been in business for 55+ years, and offer a 100% money back guarantee.
That said, there are a variety of Shaklee products and combinations that people
have used over the years, but this system seems to be the one that peeps
stick with the most: It consists of just 6 products: Get Clean Water, Alfalfa, Herb-Lax, Liver DTX, Fiber, and Optiflora.
The first and most important “supplement” to take while detoxifying your body is...w
ater from your Get Clean Water Pitcher.
A copious amount of clean water will flood the cells and organs,
allowing them to flush out toxins that have accumulated. Water helps
your digestion and elimination, makes the skin look younger and more
vital, and helps keep the liver and kidneys in a healthier state. And
remember NO lead, NO BPA, & lots of other nasties are removed from
Shaklee's unique water pitcher.
ALFALFA,
which means, "father of all foods" offers a storehouse of nutrients!
And at Shaklee, we use only the finest alfalfa grown in California,
ensuring a wide range of nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, and
magnesium, as well as chlorophyll, bioflavonoids, trace minerals, and
vitamins. Alfala is a natural diuretic and helps with bad breath,
ulcers, PMS, fatigue, arthritis, acne, blood pressure & more.Herb-Lax
Herb-Lax naturally and gently cleanses toxins from the entire body including the liver, gall bladder, digestive tract, colon and even the bloodstream. Unlike other laxatives that can paralyze the delicate cilia in the intestines and create laxative dependency, the nine natural herbs in Herb-Lax are so good for you that they actually strengthen the digestive system!
Liver DTX
The
bad news is... a mal-functioning liver means big trouble... ranging
from symptoms like fatigue, depression, acne, bad breath, psoriasis and
other rashes, food allergies, itching, headaches, gas and bloating to
more serious conditions such as cancer, premature aging, lupus,
arthritis and Parkinson’s, to name a few.The good news is... the liver responds better than any other organ to proper treatment. In fact, the liver is the only organ that can completely regenerate itself, even if it’s been severely damaged. And that’s where milk thistle... the liver’s best friend... can do so much.
This powerful herb, found in Liver DTX, not only protects the liver from damage, it actually stimulates the growth of healthy new cells! Liver DTX also contains Schizandra seeds and Reishi mushroom (both antioxidants), along with dandelion, turmeric and artichoke (gall bladder tonics).
Fiber Plan
Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer, with 1.2 million new cases diagnosed every year. Research suggests that if you have sluggish digestion or constipation, deadly toxins have much longer contact with the intestines and colon, leading to increases in the incidence of this frightening disease.
A brand new scientific study... as part of the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research's Continuous Update Project (CUP)... has found that each 10 g/day increase in intake of total dietary fiber and cereal fiber is linked to a 10% reduction in risk of colorectal cancer!
OptifloraThe friendly bacteria in Optiflora can suppress toxins in the colon as well as the metabolic toxins released by other microbes in the gut. They can also lower toxicity in the body as a whole. With 70%-80% of your Immune System in the Gut, this product is a must for those looking to improve their overall health.
Tips for Success:
Drink your water all day
Use recommended amount of supplements as directed on each product
Take Shaklee Fiber (powder or tablet) and Optiflora anytime during the day
Take Alfalfa and Liver DTX throughout the day
Take the Herb-Lax at night because it will make you "go" 6-12 hrs later.
Do the program for 1 month
Great tips during detoxing and beyond:
In addition to drinking enough water (take your body weight and divide in half. The number you come up with is the number of ounces in water to be drinking every day. Example: 180lb person would drink 90 ounces of water daily-or about 11 cups.) You may also cut down on fatty meats and foods, eliminate fast and junk foods and eat more raw & fresh frutis, veggies, nuts, beans, and food rich in fiber.
