Why Should I Detox?
Doctors today are saying that one of the major
reasons more people are getting unhealthy and sick is due to our
overall "waning immune system." One of the greatest results that
following a detox can achieve for you is an enhanced immune
system, which will help keep you from illness and disease.
The survival of every animal, bird, fish, plant and germ depends entirely upon its’ environment. When the environment is altered, the species of animal life changes. The same is true of our bodies. Germs can cause infection in a susceptible host, but pathogenic germs cannot overcome a clean, healthy and active human body. In short, most germs are unnatural in a pure, healthy body, and can only survive in an unnatural and unclean body.
Disease is generally not acquired; it is frequently created by, and often the result of, an unnatural lifestyle, an internal development which can lead to millions of people suffering needlessly. If we allow our bodies to become acidic, polluted and congested, we run the risk of weakening our glands and organs and then they can’t function at peak capacity.
It is reasonable to maintain that if you rid your body of toxins, good health can be obtained and sustained.
All cells are dependant upon a well-functioning digestive system. When digestion is off, even good food can become toxic. Continuation of this problem can cause our bodies to weaken and become more prone to deficiencies and disease.
A compromised digestive system can result in mucous accumulation along the intestinal wall, in the stomach and in the colon and is otherwise known as ‘mucoid plaque’.
(What is Mucoid
Plaque?)
As this plaque coagulates, it retains various substances such as drugs, heavy metals, yeast, pathogenic bacteria, parasites and more, all of which combine to interfere with normal bowel function, nutrient assimilation and regular elimination
.
When you improve your diet and strive for maximum health, the first and most important step is to remove this ‘mucoid plaque’. As this occurs, you have made the most important step towards improving bowel function and restoring good health.
Cleansing is a process of removing toxins and debris from the inside. This can be done in various ways, but the most effective has been shown to be cleansing of the entire digestive tract, not just specific organs like the colon or liver, or the blood.
The digestive system is the ‘hub’ of our entire body, and if it is
polluted, every component of our body can become polluted; tissues, organs, blood, all the way into the cells.
The Detox has been designed to assist in and encourage the removal of built-up internal toxins and to help you move toward a state of bettered health. Our 28-Day

Boosting Your Immune System
Most of the processed foods eaten in today's
society produces an acid ash in our systems. The alkalizing foods,
such as greens, veggies and the non-sweet fruits, certain grains
and nuts, and other whole, natural foods, are often not as
prevalent in our diets as is necessary. Since we are over 70%
water, our internal fluids need to be kept pH neutral just as any
backyard swimming pool. Our miraculous bodies are at work
constantly to keep our internal world neutrally balanced, but when
more acids accumulate in our body than our natural elimination
systems can discharge, we start to become too acidic.
Eventually our cells are drowning in acid
wastes, our system begins to slow down and we literally begin to
slowly decay from the inside out. We begin to have overgrown
amounts of yeasts and fungi, and as they devour the excess sugars
and acids, we enter the initial stages of deterioration. We get
ill and have low energy. We have aches and pains, don't sleep
well, can't focus, have poor memory and arthritis. Our immune
system by this time has become greatly weakened and our body shows
signs of imbalance. Fortunately, it is reversible, simply by
changing your internal terrain through detoxing and slowly
adjusting to healthier foods.
The juices offered at the retreats are fresh
organic vegetable and fruit juices (requested combinations are
joyfully accommodated), wheatgrass, herbal teas, broths, liver
cleanse drink, lemon water, Master Cleanse, and fresh spring
water. You are also welcome to follow a water-only fast, and the
juices are always there as an option if you feel you need them.
Fresh Organic Juices
Provide Everything Your Body Needs
Juices provide plenty of
fresh natural sugars, salts, enzymes, electrolytes, vitamins,
minerals, trace elements and probiotics, all in their
appropriate proportions, for the rebuilding your body will be
doing during a fast. Because juices require minimal digestion
and are readily absorbed into the system, they do not interfere
with the need for the digestive system to be almost completely
shut down, which leaves the body's energy available for the deep
cleansing and rebuilding activities of a detox.
Juices also provide
enough fluids to ensure the colon becomes thoroughly washed,
while simultaneously allowing one to feel satisfied and never
hungry. There are no harsh or system-shocking methods used
during these fasts. All the methods are natural and gentle, and
I oversee the fasts to support the full safety and best results
for each individual guest.
Detoxing
for the
Mind-Body-Spirit
The detox program is
designed to address the entire individual - Mind-Body-Spirit.
There is no point in focusing on only the physical aspect of
health, because we are an integrated whole with each of our
parts affecting the whole. During the detox, you will receive
information, stimulation, and restoration for your entire being.
The detox include yoga,
private meditation time, exercise equipment, morning walks,
soaking in the jacuzzi, sitting the sauna, enjoying the laughter
sessions, reading, sunbathing, and juices to take with you if
you choose to go on day sight-seeing trips.
A Penny for Prevention
is Better Than a Pound for Cure
Health care today can be
an extremely costly undertaking, once you're sick. So, why let
yourself get sick in the first place? The body is amazingly
resilient, and with a little care it will serve you well for a
long time. Honor your body and your life by spending a little
time and money to keep it healthy to begin with, instead of
waiting until it's too late! Ideally, one
should fast twice a
year, preferably once in the Spring and once in the Fall. If you
can discipline yourself to do it at home, fantastic! Many people
like to treat themselves to a health vacation, where they get
away from the stresses of regular life and all that surrounds
them, and retreat to a place of peace, quiet and beauty. The detox retreats offer sanctuary to those wishing to relax,
release toxins, rebuild, refresh and totally recharge their
energy levels.
Private and Group
Retreats
Individuals or groups wishing to have me come
to their location and supervise a detox are welcome to contact
me for more information. I can guide a group or individual
through health education, detoxing, fasting, pH balancing,
energy work, natural health counseling, or how to shop for
healthy food.
