Colon cleanse your way to health!

2011-09-21T17:15:00.000-05:00

If you want to end:

Constipation
Candidasis (Overgrowth of yeast and/or fungus)
Irritable Bowel (General bowel sluggishness)
Diverticulitis
Indigestion
Other Digestive Ailments

The foundation to your health is your colon. Detoxification! It might be something you've never heard your doctor say. When we don't go (poop) the way we should (1-2 times per day), our bodies begin to reabsorb all those toxins it had sent to the colon (the toxic waste site) to get out of the body.

When you are constipated, parasites (Yes, parasites!) have a better chance of attaching themselves to the walls of the colon which will in turn cause many more problems (and they get the food first, before you do…feeding them and starving you!). Daily bowel movements don't give them a chance to attach and anchor to your colon.

Diverticulitiis ( herniated pockets ) of the colon, trap feces (poop) which are just what the word says…trapped and don't get out. Putrified, rotting poison (and you are reabsorbing all of this back into your blood stream). Most Americans 40 and over have between 3-15 pounds of impacted fecal matter they are carrying right now (the small intestines have a plaque layer as well as the large intestine). And you wonder why coleo-rectal cancer is at the top of the cancer list? We use natural elements that cleanse THE ENTIRE INTESTINAL TRACT, small and large.

Cleansing your colon: Schedule a colon health plan you feel is right for you. Be sure you have enough daily fiber in your diet. If you have any doubt, take a good daily fiber supplement. Whatever you decide to do is a step on the road to health or sickness and disease. Just look at the statistics. The typical American diet is killing people! By the millions!

5 Major Ways to Cleanse Your Colon of harmful bacteria, toxic buildup and get the relief you need

1. Colon Hydrotherapy (colonic irrigations) - usually performed by professionals for best results and as you can imagine, this is no picnic in the park.

2. Enemas - typically only removes material from the lower part of the colon (last 8-12 inches) and does not address the compaction problem.

3. Herbal Supplements - while supplements can be effective in bowel emptying and we have used them in our clinic for years, they are not effective in fully cleansing the bowel, removing much of the toxic waste, or improving the health of the good bacteria in the colon. These types of products cause contraction but they do not internally cleanse which is necessary for a long term solution to the problem.

4. Laxatives - Laxatives are used as temporary treatments of constipation. While they are sometimes effective at helping you out, they do not cleanse. They don’t touch the compaction problem either, which is the most troubling to resolve. Further, there can be serious complications and side effects including dehydration and loss of muscle around the colon lining.

If you want to treat temporary blockage, a laxative may be helpful. If you want to experience the benefits of a proper colon cleanse or if you have mild or chronic constipation, however; they won’t be of much use to you.

5. We use a full intestinal and colon cleanser which has been formulated to melt away compaction in the bowel and provide oxygen to the intestinal tract and carried through the bloodstream throughout the body. It doesn't just clean out the colon, it cleans the colon, small intestine, and large intestine—all without the side effects of laxatives or psyllium based cleansers. While psyllium and other fiber products simply scrape matter out through the center of a clogged colon, this removes old, impacted fecal matter as it detoxifies and cleans the entire intestinal tract.

It attacks the source of the problem so that you will have natural and regular bowel movements.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It uses a special formula of 100% all natural ingredients that work in harmony with a proprietary process to reduce the solid toxic mass and break it down. It works in the whole intestinal system, not just the large intestine as the other forms of constipation treatments.

It helps remove "toxins" that if left inside the body can lead to lack of energy, sluggishness, improper digestion or possibly more serious health conditions. These toxins are removed while maintaining the friendly bacteria which are needed for proper digestive and intestinal health. It cleans the entire intestinal tract all without the side effects of laxatives and discomfort of enemas and hydrotherapy.

What makes this cleanse work so well?

Over time undigested food and waste material build up in the intestinal tract and colon. This is a perfect breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria, which if left alone could cause serious health problems. Many strains of Anaerobic bacteria can be harmful in our digestive system. This type of bacteria cannot survive in a healthy, oxygen enriched environment, such as a healthy digestive system.

Aerobic bacteria are the ‘GOOD’ bacteria that allows our digestive system to operate properly. This type of bacteria thrives on oxygen. When this cleanse is introduced into the digestive system, the O₁atom attaches itself to both good and bad bacteria. The oxygen released helps to destroy the bad bacteria and nourish the good bacteria.

It cleans the entire 25-30 feet of the digestive tract. It is designed to clean, oxidize and reduce the amount of impaction and hard fecal matter in the small intestine, large intestine and colon. Other cleansers focus on the colon and stimulate mucous production instead of breaking down hard fecal matter.

IS THIS COLON CLEANSER SAFE?

Unlike most other constipation and colon cleansing products, this is 100% natural and does not contain narcotics, stimulants, or any other by-products and that is the way nature intended it.

In all the years and all the customers who have gotten the constipation relief they needed, we have never, not even once, received a complaint of any side effects that was not a natural occurring event due to the effective work of this wonderful product. It simply could not be safer.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOUR COLON CLEANSER?

Is a 100% all natural method of getting rid of constipation putting you back in balance as mother nature intended.
Aids in cleansing & oxygenating the colon, small and large intestines.

Eternal Youth?

2011-03-14T17:47:00.000-05:00

How would YOU like to feel young no matter how old you are? Possible? Absolutely! YOU can take charge of your health and reclaim your vitality by doing some simple, mostly common sense things in your life. We're living longer than our grandparents or parents did and the better care you take of yourself, the longer you're likely to live. Most of us agree that the quantity of life isn't nearly as important as the quality of life - we want to be happy, optimistic, and energetic as we grow older, remaining physically strong and mentally sharp. We also want to maintain our independence. Experts believe that only about 25 to 30% of physical aging can be attributed to your genes. The rest is entirely up to you!

One of the first things we need to do is get enough restful sleep. During sleep, your body circulates about 70% of your daily dose of human growth hormone, the natural anti-aging elixir responsible for regenerating skin and rebuilding bones, muscles, and other tissues. Long-term sleep deprivation can have devastating consequences on your health and can hasten the negative effects of aging.

Secondly, you need to boost your brain power. Have you ever walked into a room only to find that you've forgotten what you came for? Challenge your mind by playing games, working puzzles and such. Move your body - exercise brings oxygen to the brain. Manage stress - chronic stress is known to damage nerve cells by subjecting them to high levels of stress hormones. Stay socially connected - people who do are mentally, emotionally, and physically healthier than those who are socially isolated.

Energize your life. Don't just fill your body - fuel it! Cut down on caffeine and sugar. Eating a nutritious, well-balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and high-quality protein from fish, poultry, nuts, and legumes is a great place to start.

Take your supplements. A quality multi-vitamin and mineral complex, powerful antioxidant, and an essential fatty acid such as Omega or Flax Seed Oil are the basics. We don't get all the nutrients we need from our foods in today's over-processed foods on the market.

Drink your water. Lots of it! You should drink at least one-half your body weight in ounces of water every day. So, if you weigh 100 pounds, you need to drink 50 ounces of water! Do you? Most people don't.

To YOUR good health!

Stop wearing perfumes/colognes

2011-01-03T16:28:00.000-06:00

Many people have allergies and/or sensitivities to odors and perfumes. Be kind to others and to yourself by wearing non-toxic essential oils instead. The aroma lingers and is non-offensive - as long as you don't overdo it! Most people wear TOO MUCH fragrance and are so accustomed to the smell that they don't realize how offensive it can be to others - especially in close spaces. Experiment around until you find the right one for you. I prefer geranium or rose bulgaria. You can mix them to your liking and add a few drops to a carrier oil (such as almond oil), fill up a glass roller ball applicator bottle and you will smell soooooooooo good!

This can be a very inexpensive way to not only smell good, but it is also more kind to your body - no alcohol or other chemicals that many fragrance companies utilize in their formulations.

Happy New Year!

2010-12-29T11:37:00.000-06:00

Well folks, Christmas is over and the New Year is upon us. Soon it will be time to make our resolutions and plan 2011. My wish for you is that you will have a healthy and prosperous year full of blessings, happiness, fun, and wealth. Both financially and in other ways. To YOUR good health in 2011!

Fall cleaning in your body

2010-09-21T16:53:00.000-05:00

Fall, or autumn, is the season of Metal in Chinese Medicine. It is the time for cleansing the large intestine (the seat of sensitivity), the liver, and balancing the pH. Detoxification done by doing internal cleansing is a wonderful way to prepare your body for the cold winter months, which is the time for rest (think of hibernation).

The intestinal system should always be supported by taking good probiotics (friendly bacteria). We want the "good guys" to outnumber the "bad guys". By continually populating the gut with probiotics, we can accomplish this. Colon cleansing is NOT taking laxatives or enemas. It is a gentle herbal way to get things moving more efficiently, cleansing of the entire intestinal system, both the small and the large intestine. This can be followed by colon hydrotherapy, which cleanses the lower bowel.

You change the oil in your car if you want to maintain the engine. Why would you not do the same for your body, YOUR high-performance engine? I recommend intestinal cleansing at least with each change of season, which is a good way to remember it is time to cleanse. I personally do herbal colon cleanses more frequently because I feel better overall after doing so.

Don't forget the "bad guys" - the parasites that live with all of us as part of our ecosystem. A parasite cleanse should also be done fairly regularly and there are 2 types that I like to use - one consists of taking pre-measured packets of capsules for a couple of weeks and the other consists of taking capsules and drinking a liquid herbal tincture for one month. Both are good, and I like to rotate with them, using one method for one cleanse, then the next time I decide to do a parasite cleanse, use the other one.

By the way, the same should be done with your probiotics. They should also be rotated through the various types because your body gets used to taking the same thing all the time and responds better when you rotate. As an example, let's say you start by taking acidophilus. Finish that bottle, then go to bifidophilus. Finish that one and go to Probiotic Eleven, etc., continually rotating through the various types.

How to use the Zero Point energy wand

2010-08-25T12:14:00.000-05:00

The wand may be used in any way you find beneficial; however, here are a few basic suggestions. Point the wand as closely as possible, or lightly touch it to the area of the body you are choosing to work on. Rotate the wand around the area in clockwise movement. Repeat as needed or desired. Use the wand on your hands, fingers and toes so as to open the meridians of the body using the acupressure or acupuncture points. In addition, you can use the wand on your face to help rejuvenate the skin and underlying tissue.

You may also stir liquids with the wand to energize your drinks or rotate it above your food to energize it as well. Rotating the wand above a drink, the zero point energy spins into the liquid. Or liquid can be poured over the Zero Point Energy wand where it picks up the resonance. The resonance generated is similar to that which is found in the earth surrounding many healing spring waters of the world. As we know, our bodies are made up of 70% or more of water. Water becomes blood within minutes after drinking. Thus it is important to nourish the body with the correct molecular structured water.

Later we'll post features and benefits of the wand... so come back to learn more about this amazing device!

Zero Point Energy

2010-08-24T19:50:00.000-05:00

Question: What is it, how does it work, and what can it do for me?

Answer: Read on....

Zero-point energy is the energy that remains when all other energy is removed from a system. This behavior is demonstrated by, for example, liquid helium. As the temperature is lowered to absolute zero, helium remains a liquid, rather than freezing to a solid, owing to the irremovable zero-point energy of its atomic motions. (Increasing the pressure to 25 atmospheres will cause helium to freeze.)

What Zero Point Products do is restore a natural balance to your body so that it can heal itself. They allow your body to heal and protect you from Man-made Chaos frequencies.

Man-made Chaos

It is a well known fact that our bodies are under constant stress by conditions that are man made and virtually invisible to the human senses. EMF’s and ELF’s transmitted over wave forms can penetrate right through the physical body. The stress creates weakened immune function.

Any device plugged into the wall, high-tension power lines, cell phones, computers, satellites, microwaves, radio and TV signals are emitting waves which travel into the body, creating significant imbalance in the body’s naturally occurring bio-field.

When the immune system is weakened, the body cannot perform optimally and becomes vulnerable to adverse effects such as bacteria, fungus, viral infection or even worse, degenerative conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and so on.

Zero Point and Bio-Resonate Wave Forms

Zero point technology has a capability of changing subtle energy, birthed in light, to wave forms that harmonically balance physical body parts.

Body parts that are at ease have energy that flows with no effort, no resistance! There is NO imbalance within the body part, NO dis-ease. The symphony of life is created by light, as it slows within the physical vehicle to maintain harmonic attunement among body parts.

The Earth provides a multitude of naturally radiating minerals that can be imprinted with specified frequencies. With the addition of these new frequencies, the mineral becomes a reservoir of energy. This depository of energy responds to the intelligent consciousness of the imbalanced body part as it opens a channel to receive the balancing energy.

The body, through its own inductive capacitance, integrates the energy to balance the deficient body part.

IMPORTANT!

Customers who are confused question us daily regarding all the various "wands" now available on the internet. We will offer only this brief yet clear warning: There is deceptive and manipulative advertising all over the internet. You can purchase very inexpensive wands at other sites. However, you do not know how effective the contents are inside of the wand. Buyer Beware! Our Zero Point Energy Wands have a 99% customer satisfaction rate.

The Zero Point Energy Wand that we use is a natural energy generating device—a superconductor of subtle energy or life force (chi or prana). Through resonance (entrainment) between the zero point energy field of the wand and anything it comes into contact with, harmony, balance and alignment are restored. The wand itself does not do the healing. The wand is simply an entrainment device or reminder which awakens the body to its own innate self-healing capacity, balance and wholeness.

In this way, the Zero Point Energy Wand may enhance one’s energy and vitality and may assist in alleviating pain, stress and other health challenges. The natural energy of the Zero Point Wand may help improve sleep patterns when placed under the pillow or on the nightstand. When worn on the body or carried in a bag, the wand can help improve the positive flow of “chi” or life force throughout the body. This helps strengthen the body and immune system against the detrimental effects of daily stress and exposure to electromagnetic pollution.

In addition, the Zero Point Energy Wand will rejuvenate the molecular structure in liquids making them more vital, hydrating and better tasting. Placed inside of a refrigerator, the Zero Point Energy Wand can permeate the area, making all liquids, meat, fruits and vegetables taste better and extending the shelf life.

I've used my wand extensively, sleep with it under my pillow, and "wand" myself any time I feel discomfort in my body - all with positive results. My belief is that each person should own their own personal wand and not allow others to use it due to the sensitive synchronization that occurs between the wand and the owner. In other words, each person's energy field carries its own set of frequency patterns and another person using your wand can upset the balance you enjoy with your wand.

If you are interested in owning your own wand and don't want to be involved with network marketing, then please post a comment on this blog and I'll get back to you. I LOVE my wand!

Young at ANY age!

2010-06-17T16:00:00.000-05:00

Take charge of your health and reclaim your vitality!

In this post we'll look at what the good news IS about aging, the rejuvenating effects of restful sleep, boosting your brain power and energizing your life. Today we'll focus on the first item: the good news about aging, and after today we'll move on to restful sleep and the other items listed above.

Regardless of your current age, chances are excellent that you'll live a long life - much longer than your grandparents or your parents. Staying young starts on the inside - age-related internal changes usually begin long before the outward signs of aging become apparent. So, what causes us to age? Aging begins at the cellular level in structures called mitochondria. These tiny organelles act as miniature power plants for the cells in our bodies, converting the nutrients in the foods we eat into energy that's used by the body to fuel its many functions. As they convert dietary nutrients to energy, older mitochondria begin emitting free radicals in much the same way an old car might begin to emit black smoke.

The FURY of free radicals...

Free radicals are highly unstable molecules, bursting with excess energy. In the body, they gain stability by transferring their energy to nearby cells, tissues and organs, injuring them in the process. When free radicals damage the DNA in our cells, the cells are no longer able to repair themselves or divide properly. Over time, these changes can ultimately lead to abnormal cell growth and even cancer.

You see, free radicals are responsible for dozens of diseases, but they also cause many of the so-called "normal" changes associated with aging. When healthy cells are damaged by free radicals, they cease to function normally. Depending on their location in the body, these damaged cells may cause wrinkles in the skin, cataracts in the eyes, or Alzheimer's disease in the brain.

In the arteries, free radicals promote the formation of cholesterol plaques that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. In the joints, they initiate the degenerative changes of osteoarthritis.

Free radical assaults ultimately lead to the breakdown of ALL body systems, and the cumulative result is the aging process.

Ok, I get that, but HOW do we GET these FREE RADICALS???

Free radical formation in our bodies is triggered by exposure to oxygen, ultraviolet (UV) light, cigarette smoke, smog, and other toxins in the environment and in our diets. Scientists estimate that human DNA receives about 10,000 free-radical "hits" per DAY, with at least ten times this number bombarding the mitochondria of the cells.

Fortunately, we can guard ourselves against the damage caused by the continuous onslaught by increasing our consumption of protective antioxidants in the form of plant foods and dietary supplements.

Supplement Solution for Aging Mitochondria

Alpha Lipoic Acid, one of the most potent antioxidants known, commonly referred to as the universal antioxidant, is unique among antioxidants in that it functions in both fat-soluble and water-soluble tissues. In one study, alpha lipoic acid given daily for one year to individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias led to stabilization of memory and other measures of cognitive function.

Thai-Go (Antioxidant Juice Blend) is formulated with 11 highly nutritious fruit and herbal extracts. It provides a continuous supply of powerful antioxidants known to neutralize the activity of free radicals and minimize their destructive potential. Added benefit: it tastes good!

RG-Max (Arginine Formula) supplies the body with arginine, the essential amino acid required for the production of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide is a gas produced naturally by the body, and it plays a critical role in maintaining the health of the entire cardiovascular system - not just the heart, but the miles of arteries, veins, and tiny capillaries that traverse the body. Nitric oxide keeps these blood vessels strong, flexible, and properly dilated to ensure the continuous delivery of blood, oxygen, and nutrients required by every living cell. This delicious powdered formula can positively impact blood lipid profiles. It's packed with arginine and nine additional amino acids, supporting the heart muscle and lean skeletal muscle tissue, boosting both strength and stamina.

Fighting fat & fatigue in one fell swoop

2010-04-24T17:18:00.000-05:00

Have you heard of insulin resistance? Metabolic syndrome? Do you know the function of the adrenal glands and where they are in your body? Let's take a brief moment to go over these items so you can better understand how to fight fat and fatigue.

The adrenal glands are part of the endocrine system and sit on top of your kidneys. They produce several hormones: adrenalin, ACTH, DHEA, cortisol. By restoring adrenal fitness we can then correct insulin resistance, also known as metabolic syndrome...this phenomena can and will deposit fat around your middle that you can't seem to take off no matter what you do. When we are faced with stress, our adrenals kick into high gear to produce the hormones so that we can deal with the daily stressors in our lives. Time and time again as stress occurs, the poor adrenals become exhausted.

Does cortisol make you fat? The main function of cortisol is proper glucose metabolism, regulation of blood pressure, insulin release for blood sugar maintenance, immune function, and inflammatory response. One of the effects of cortisol is to increase the breakdown of stored adipose tissue (fatty tissue) into glycerol and fatty acids, and cortisol also inhibits the conversion of T4 to T3 (thyroid hormones).

Higher & prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (chronic fight or flight) can impair cognitive performance, suppress thyroid function, cause blood sugar imbalances such as hyperglycemia, decrease bone density, decrease muscle tissue, elevate blood pressure, lower immunity and inflammatory response, and increase abdominal fat.

Abdominal fat is associated with a greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of the health problems associated with increased stomach fat are heart attacks, strokes, the development of higher levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL), which can lead to other health problems.

Some symptoms of adrenal fatigue:
* morning fatigue - you don't really seem to "wake up" until 10 a.m., even if you've been awake since 7 a.m.
* afternoon "low" (feelings of sleepiness or clouded thinking) from 2 to 4 p.m.
* burst of energy at 6 p.m. - you finally feel better from your afternoon lull
* sleepiness at 9 to 10 p.m. - however, you resist going to sleep
* "second wind" at 11 p.m. that lasts until about 1 a.m., when you finally go to sleep
* cravings for foods high in salt and fat
* increased PMS or menopausal symptoms
* mild depression
* lack of energy
* decreased ability to handle stress
* muscular weakness
* increased allergies
* lightheadedness when getting up from a sitting or lying down position
* decreased sex drive
* frequent sighing
* inability to handle foods high in potassium or carbohydrates unless they're combined with fats and protein

The various phases of adrenal dysfunction can all look alike, so to more accurately take a "picture" of how your adrenal glands are functioning, we do a saliva hormone panel. Saliva testing requires four saliva samples throughout the day because cortisol is on a 24-hour clock and we want to know levels as well as patterns of secretion.

DHEA is tested in the same test of salive sampling. What is the role of DHEA? In a word: stress management. DHEA has been shown to elevate mood, calm emotions and increase alertness, all very important qualities to have during stress. DHEA helps our mind cope more evenly with stress and helps improve memory.

It is not recommended here to run out and get this at your local health food store. You may not need extra DHEA, it is best to have these hormones tested with our simple saliva test, done using a simple take-home saliva test kit that is then sent off to our lab using the pre-paid UPS packaging.

So how long does it take to recover optimal adrenal health? Here are some basic guidelines, every person responds differently, so these are general guidelines:
* 1 to 6 months for correcting dysregulation of the gland
* 6 to 9 months for early adrenal fatigue (it took 1-2 years to get there)
* 12 to 18 months for evolving fatigue (it took 2-5 years to get there)
* up to 24 months for established adrenal fatigue (it took 5-10 years to get there!)

Have you seen the photo of Michaelangelo's David circulating on the internet that showed his picture AFTER his visit to the U.S.? That fat belly is a prime example of what happens to you with uncorrected adrenal fatigue. You try every diet, go to the gym and do everything you know to do, yet you STILL can't seem to lose the weight!

Here's to your successful journey on your Highway to Health!

Welcome to my blog...

2010-04-16T15:16:00.000-05:00

This is new for me, this idea of finally catching up with others in the blogging world! Years ago I started writing a book entitled "Highway to Health" and never got around to finishing it, so this little blogspot will be my way of getting news on health out there to those who may be interested. Come back from time to time so get hints on how to get healthy, stay healthy, and how to use your mind to create what you want. Many years ago I taught metaphysics, which is the study of the mind and how it works. This "latest" idea about the law of attraction is not new at all - someone just grabbed the old information and capitalized on it. I would have my students make a "ten most wanted" list - writing down anything they may want in life - material things or improvements in life - and then focusing on them daily until they manifested. Any time one thing on the list became a reality, they then crossed it off, moved everything up a step and added another "want", so there were always 10 things on the list. Listen people - it WORKS! Just do it.
