Shirleys Story cont.

• Shirley convinced her husband to do a liver
  cleanse
• For as long as I can remember, my husband has
  had these little red moles on his back, a clear
  sign of liver toxicity. After the eighth time we
  did the liver cleanse, I realized that all but
  the seven largest moles had disappeared. And
  those that were left were significantly smaller.

Weight Loss Energy Gained!

• I was getting dressed for church and pulled
  out a dress from my closet. It was too big!
  Shirley beams. It was amazing. But the best
  part isnt the weight loss, its the amount of
  energy I have. I can do more and keep going
  longer than I could when I was a teenager!

Machinery of Life

• Were it not for the incredible efficiency of your
  lymphatic system, liver, kidneys, colon, sweat
  glands and oil ducts in the skin, your body would
  suffocate in its own waste in a couple of days.

Sources of Toxicity

• 1. Food
• Natural Allergens
• Agricultural Chemicals
• Additives (preservatives, etc.)
• Processing Methods (white food)
• Cooking Methods (microwaves, high heat)

8

• 2. Indoor Pollution
• Fabrics (carpets, upholstery, clothing, etc.)
• Building Materials (formaldehyde, solvents, glue,
  paint, etc.)
• Household Cleaning Supplies
• Personal Care Products
• Yard Care and Insect Control (pesticides,
  herbicides, etc.

• 4. Water
• Industrial Contamination
• Water Treatment (chlorine, fluoride, bromides,
  etc.)
• 5. Nuclear Radiation
• 6. Electromagnetic Pollution (computers,
  microwave ovens, radar, substations, etc.)

10
The World We Live In

• According to the EPA, in one year, the amount of
  toxins dumped into the air we breathe, the food
  we eat, and the water we drink is equivalent to
  loading eighteen-wheelers full of toxins and
  placing them end to end. The line would go from
  Los Angeles, California to Des Moines, Iowa.

11
Chemical Contamination

• 70,000 chemicals are being used commercially
  in the United States. The EPA considers 65,000
  of them to be potentially if not definitely
  hazardous to your health

Minimize Your Exposure to Heavy Metals

• First, drink purified water! This is one of the
  most important things you can do to protect
  yourself and your family on an on-going basis
• Make sure your water pipes have no lead, avoid
  lead-based painted objects and dont store
  liquids in plastic containers
• Buy organic food as much as possible
• Keep the chemicals in your life, especially
  cleaning chemicals, to a minimum
• Avoid cooking with aluminum pans or cooking in
  aluminum foil with anything that is reactive with
  aluminum (most acid foods are).

Untold Truth 2
Your Body Has Several Pathways of Detoxification
14
Detoxification Process

• What makes some toxins so difficult to eliminate
  is that they are lipid (fat)-soluble substances,
  not water-soluble substances. So before your
  body can flush them from your system, it has to
  convert them to a a water-soluble form
• The process of converting toxins into
  water-soluble compounds involves two steps
  phase 1 detoxification and phase 2 detoxification

15
Enzyme Systems

• Phase 1 Detoxification
• 50 different enzymes which electrically charge
  toxins (adding or eliminating electrons) in
  preparation for phase 2 detoxification

16
Enzyme Systems

• Phase 2 Detoxification
• Enzymes which add chemical groups to toxins (a
  process called conjugation) to make them water
  soluble so they can be excreted by the kidneys
  (molecules of high molecular weight are excreted
  through bile)

Primary Eliminate Channels Gastrointestinal
Tract Urinary Tract Secondary Eliminate
Channels Skin (Sweat Glands Oil
Ducts) Respiratory Tract
18
Open the 5 Chimneys

• Lymph
• Liver
• Kidneys
• Skin
• Colon

19
Your Lymphatic System The River of Life

• Courses through your body like a tissue-cleansing
  river
• All cells are bathed in lymphatic fluid
• Fresh, clean, nutrient-laden lymphatic fluid
  enters the tissues from the bloodstream
• Cells than absorb oxygen and nutrients from the
  fluid and secrete waste back into lymph system

Page 12
20
The Lymphatic System cont.

• Lymphatic capillaries move toxic fluid to lymph
  nodes which act like sewage treatment plants
• Here the white blood cells gobble up debris while
  other detoxification mechanisms purify the
  lymph
• Keeping the lymph moving is essential to keeping
  the environment of the tissues themselves clean,
  and must be considered in any cleansing program

Page 12
21
Intestines

• Nearly 90 of all degenerative disease begins in
  the digestive tract
• Lining of the digestive tract is your first line
  of immune defense
• When these membranes are overloaded with toxic
  material, they no longer are able to process and
  absorb nutrients correctly
• This leads to colitis and other inflammatory
  bowel disorders, which all are caused by the
  breakdown of the intestinal mucosa

Page 12
22
Intestines cont.

• Intestinal inflammation and swelling will
  increase absorption of toxic material into the
  blood and lymph streams, a condition known as
  leaky gut syndrome
• Leaky gut syndrome creates a cascade of negative
  reactions which adversely affect every system of
  your body

Page 13
23
The Liver

• It is the most important organ for detoxification
• Keeps toxic substances out of the blood
• Processes toxins generated by poorly digested
  nutrients and leaky gut syndrome, it also has to
  process food additives and environmental toxins
• Excessive toxins, over time, will weaken the Liver

Page 14
24
The Liver cont.
As the liver weakens, this filter becomes less
effective causing

• Headaches
• Sluggishness
• Lethargy
• Skin problems
• Weight gain

• Bloating,
• High or low cholesterol
• Thyroid problems
• PMS symptoms in women

Page 14
25
The Kidney Connection

• The primary job is to prevent toxins from the GI
  tract from entering your blood
• Overload of toxins in the kidneys cause
  inflammatory disorders and other ailments
• Burning urination
• Irritable bladder
• Frequent kidney and bladder infections
• Skin eruptive diseases
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Fluid retention and reproductive problems

Page 14
26
The Kidney Connection cont.

• Acid is the primary waste your kidney filter out
  of the blood
• Acid cannot be removed effectively if we are
  overloaded with toxins and are nutritionally
  deficient
• If the kidney cannot neutralize the acid from our
  diet, it will borrow potassium and magnesium
  from your muscles and calcium from your bones
• This borrowing will breakdown the structural
  system in the body causing muscle tension and
  pain, headaches, back pain, leg pain,
  osteoporosis, arthritis and kidney stones

27
Skin

• Largest organ of elimination
• Two organs in one Sweat glands oil ducts
• Sweat glands aid the liver by eliminating
  water-soluble toxins in the blood by the body
  creating a fever to open sweat glands and force
  elimination through the skin
• Induced perspiration also detoxifies saunas,
  steam baths, exercise, etc.

Page 14
28
Skin cont.

• Oil glands keep the skin soft and moist
• When oil ducts have to eliminate toxic fat, due
  to a congested liver, they become inflamed
  causing pimples, blackheads and pox (Chicken
  Small)
• The skin is not a primary organ of elimination,
  it is a backup detoxification system
• Problems with the skin usually mean a problem
  with your colon, liver and or kidneys

Untold Truth 3
Select Nutrients Can Help You Detoxify Every Day
31

• According to a 2002 study in the Journal of
  American Medical Association, Most people do not
  consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet
  alone
• As a result, it is prudent for all adults to take
  vitamin supplements

Page 17
32
When choosing a multivitamin, make sure it
contains a wide variety of nutrients, in the
right dosages.

• Packed in a base of herbs and phytonutrients
• Which chelate heavy metals and other toxins from
  your body
• Broccoli powder, kelp and rose hips

Page 18
33
Arm Yourself with Anitoxidants

• Phase 1 Detoxification creates free radicals
• Antioxidants deactivate free radicals helping
  prevent inflammation
• Bioflavonoids aid your bodys immune-defense
  system
• Mangosteen helps repair the cell membranes by
  reducing oxidation, inflammation and toxicity

Page 19
34
Fiber Rids The Body Of Toxins

• Fiber helps rid toxins that build up in your body
  by absorbing them in your bowel and eliminating
  them
• Findings have shown that low fiber intake is
  directly related to obesity, diabetes, coronary
  heart disease, colon disease (including colon
  cancer)

Digestive Support

• Enzymes help maintain normal pH levels and aid
  in the elimination of toxins, including allergens
  and environmental pollutants, via the colon,
  kidneys, lungs and skin

Targeted Cleansing Can Dramatically Improve Your
Health
39
Paying Attention to your Systems

• Now that weve prepared our body for
  detoxification, lets work on specific systems

• Lymphatic
• Intestinal
• Liver
• Kidney
• Skin

Page 23
40
Lymphatic Cleansing

• Lymph flows in one direction by a combination of
  muscular activity, tissue compression, deep
  breathing, elasticity of the lymphatic vessels
  and one-way check valves
• Lack of movement slows lymphatic flow, which
  diminishes oxygen and nutrient exchange, so your
  cells begin to complain by sending mild pain
  signals
• Good lymph drainage is necessary to carry toxins
  from cells
• Certain herbs or nutrients have been shown to
  help cells detoxify and lymph to move more freely

Page 24
41
Lymphatic Drainage

• Cleavers - helps remove excess fluid from the
  body
• Prickly Ash - is a circulatory stimulant
• Red Clover - thins the blood and improves
  oxygenation to the tissues
• Stillingia - improves the function of the lymph,
  liver and kidneys

Page 25
42
Intestinal Cleansing

• If you want to maintain or regain your health,
  your intestinal system is central to your efforts
• Your intestines literally transform materials
  from your environment into your body
• Sixty percent of your immune response is in your
  GI tract
• When the small intestine becomes inflamed, you
  are no longer able to process nutrients and
  absorb them properly
• Inflammation and swelling in the intestines lead
  to an increased absorption of toxic materials
  into the blood and lymph streams

Page 27
43
All Cell Detox

• Black Walnut - is antiparasitic and antiviral
• Cascara Sagrada - stimulates the flow of bile to
  flush the liver
• Slippery Elm - mucilaginous herb that absorbs
  toxins
• Uva Ursi - leaves are a diuretic and urinary
  disinfectant

Page 28
44
Liquid Cleanse

• Aloe Vera - soothes the digestive tract and
  mucous membranes
• Capsicum - stimulates the flow of saliva, bile
  and gastric juices
• Ginger - increases circulation in the digestive
  organs
• Senna - is a stimulant laxative for occasional
  irregularity or cleansing

Page 29
45
Liver Cleansing

• Your liver is the most important organ of
  internal detoxification and works hand in hand
  with your colon
• All blood from the intestinal tract is
  transported first to the liver, which acts as
  your second line of defense
• The liver performs over 500 functions and
  contains hundreds of enzyme systems that can
  process food or break toxins down into simpler
  compounds that your body can eliminate
• One of the methods the liver can utilize when
  dealing with a toxin is to flush it back into the
  digestive tract via the gallbladder. This toxic
  bile irritates the upper part of the small
  intestines, creating nausea, vomiting and diarrhea

Page 29
46
Liver Balance, Chinese

• Atractylodes - increases the production of
  digestive fluids
• Bupleurum - helps increase and regulate energy of
  the liver
• Dong Quai - increases the production of digestive
  fluids
• Peony Root - is a sedative and antiseptic that
  nourishes the blood

Page 30
47
Kidney Cleanse

• Your body is composed of 60 percent water
• Water-soluble toxins must be eliminated primarily
  through your kidneys and sweat glands
• Even the liver is dependent on the kidney, some
  of its detoxification processes convert
  fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble toxins that
  must then be eliminated with the urine through
  the kidneys and bladder
• Drinking at least 64 ounces of purified water a
  day can usually flush these fluid cleansing
  systems

Page 32
48
Kidney Drainage

• Asparagus - improves the kidneys ability to
  filter waste acids
• Goldenrod - helps restore blood flow to the
  kidneys and improves urinary filtering ability
• Juniper Berries - contain an essential oil that
  stimulates kidney function to promote urination
• Plantain - is thought to dredge the kidneys,
  restore the bladder and bring harmony to the
  urinary system

Page 33
49
Skin and Tissue Cleansing

• Your skin is the largest eliminative organ in
  your body and helps takes the burden off of your
  kidneys and liver
• The best way to increase elimination through the
  skin is with a sweat bath
• Inducing perspiration to clear toxins isnt
  difficult. Start by drinking lots of water or
  herbal tea
• Sudorific herbs enhance perspiration such as,
  ginger or the combination HCP-X, by moving blood
  to the surface of the skin. This will help to
  open the sweat glands to promote elimination

Four Beautiful Seasons

• In addition to daily cleansing, its a good idea
  to do a more complete cleansing program several
  times a year
• At a minimum, seasonal cleanses should be done in
  the spring and fall during the transition of the
  seasons
• Better yet, a quarterly cleanse, ideally in
  January, April, July and October is recommended

Untold Truth 6
You Also Need To Cleanse Toxic Emotions
57
Cleansing Toxic Emotions

• Anger, hatred, resentment, greed and other
  negative emotional states are just as toxic to
  you as pesticides and heavy metals
• To truly detoxify the negativity, you have to
  find a way to allow these emotions to surface and
  pass out of you

Page 41
58
Deep Breathing

• Did you ever notice that when you start to feel
  something you dont want to feel, you hold your
  breath? This suppresses your bodys energy and
  numbs your ability to feel. It also shuts off
  your lymphatic system and causes your tissues to
  hold onto toxicity
• If you breathe through these feelings, the
  sensation will pass and the emotional toxin will
  escape

Page 42
59
Cleansing Has Never Been So Easy

• You have all the tools you need to keep your body
  toxin free
• Remember to take your antioxidants, vitamins,
  minerals, enzymes, fiber, essential fatty acids
  and friendly bacteria each day to fend of those
  daily toxic assaults
• Decide which system needs a bit more attention
  lymphatic, intestines, liver, kidneys and/or
  skin?
• Finally, work in your seasonal cleanses, just
  four times a year
