    INTRODUCTION TO

    THE BODY REJUVENATION CLEANSE

    We shall not cease from exploration, but at the end of all our exploring will be to find ourselves back where we started and know the place for the first time. T.S Eliot

    Nature shows us life as a continuous cycle one season moving into the next, returning us back to the beginning with rebirth and renewal. Healing and cleansing your body can also follow nature’s cycle. Americans follow the latest fad diet in hopes of trimming down their ever-expanding bodies. In a natural cyclical pattern we trash our body and then we cleanse by dieting.

    We consume foods because they stimulate the taste buds in what I call, recreational eating. We chose these foods, not for their nutritional content, but for their fast prep time. The inevitable results are weight gain, zero energy, and non-existent vitality. As our health declines, we become dependent on pharmaceutical drugs for symptoms that should be recognized as nutritional deficiencies. It is apparent to many that the food industry colors, preserves, and packages food without concern for nutrient value or purity of content but rather for eye appeal, addictive additives and longer shelf life.

    After years of trashing your body on a diet of processed foods and feeling the effects in lack of energy, vitality, and mental clarity, it’s time to cleanse and Begin Again.

    The Body Rejuvenation Cleanse is an education about your health and the effects of food on your system. It is the safest and most effective means in which to bring your internal ecology back into balance. I recommend you do the Cleanse at different times throughout the year, ideally at the change of each season. You will find that much of the Cleanse Program will work for you as a regular way of eating, but then there are always holidays, vacations, and other festivities that manage to detour you from your path. The Cleanse helps to bring you back to the beginning so that you can start your journey once again. The transformation you feel is remarkable, even within a few days of beginning to cleanse you notice changes. The longer you practice the program the more ingrained this healthy way of eating becomes and unhealthy detours no longer happen.

    What makes The Body Rejuvenation Cleanse different from a detox diet is how it allows for a slow transition over the course of five weeks. Most diet and detox programs throw you into a severely restricted diet regimen, resulting in extreme discomfort and detoxification reactions. The first two weeks of The Body Rejuvenation Cleanse is called The Transition Phase. During this time you slowly move from eating stress-causing foods to a higher quality, whole foods diet.

    The two-week transition allows time to restock your kitchen pantry and explore new foods and tastes. You will be guided in a step-by-step process that allows your body to gently begin to cleanse without shocking the system by sudden changes in your diet.

    In weeks three and four you move into The Cleansing Phase during which you further refine and redefine your food choices. The foods eaten in this phase are ones that allow your filtering organs to detoxify (liver, kidneys and colon) and to rebalance your intestinal flora. Before you know it, you’re in week five, The Modified Fasting Phase, which offers several options including a short liquid fast. The sixth week allows time, in the Body Rejuvenation Cleanse cycle, to return to the beginning and The Transition Phase (Weeks 1&2) becomes your everyday eating plan.

    The Body Cleanse is not a restrictive diet program; you don’t have to count calories, fat grams or weigh your protein. You eat delicious, nutrient-dense foods and experience the joy of feeling revitalized. It is important to remember that these five weeks are a time of change and renewal. When social engagements arise that tempt you to abandon The Body Cleanse, make a special effort to bring food along, order off the menu, or decline the invitation until a later date. The Cleanse will help you to make major changes in your food choices and show you that there are delicious treats that can also be good for you. See these five weeks as an adventure and they will become a time of new discovery and healing.

    WHY CLEANSE?

    People with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and multiple chemical sensitivities appear to have an inability to properly detoxify chemicals and toxins. Scientific research shows there is also a link between chronic neurological diseases (Parkinson’s) and certain types of cancer, with a person’s inability to adequately detoxify. This research makes it obvious that if we don’t properly detoxify we can end up sick.

    Detoxification goes on all the time in the body. This on-going process of detoxification deals with the many dangerous environmental chemicals we take in, as well as, chemicals made in the body when the break down of food occurs. Detoxification prevents the chemicals from causing damage and endangering cells. A damaged cell can lead to disease and cancer, especially if the immune system is not fully active and vigilant in its removal of abnormal cells. Unfortunately, too few people are introduced to detoxification as a way of maintaining health. They come to all forms of alternative medicine as a last resort after their physical and material resources are drained. Because we know that health problems are multi-factorial and multi-faceted it’s important to find the means to treat the whole body and the whole person. A whole foods diet and regular cleansing program can best accomplish this.

    In contrast, the medical scientific approach favors addressing one symptom, giving one diagnosis, and offering one drug to cure or suppress the symptom, fostering unscientific poly-pharmacy. Whereas, one drug may be studied on a group of individuals, usually healthy white males, there are no studies showing what several drugs given together will do to an individual.

    Detoxification, specifically, is the conversion of fat-soluble toxins into water soluble, non-toxic metabolites, eliminated by the excretory organs. The process reduces the biological half-life of the toxins, decreases the toxic exposure in order to avoid internal toxin accumulation. The simple fact that the body puts most of its attention on detoxifying fat-soluble toxins makes us understand where the body stores toxins –in the fat tissue of our body.

    HOW WE ELIMINATE TOXINS

    The organs of elimination include the liver, kidneys, bowel, lungs, and skin. The liver does 75 percent of the body’s detoxification with the additional 25 percent taking place in the intestinal mucosa wall. Detoxification enzymes are present in the tips of the microvilli, the hair-like extensions of the gut wall that absorb nutrients and break them down before absorption.

    Gut micro floras also have a place in detoxification. They produce compounds that induce or inhibit detoxification. Good bacteria induce and bad bacteria or yeast inhibit detox pathways.

    What does the body have to detoxify?

    The list of environmental chemicals is nothing less than daunting. Mercury, lead, food additives, dyes, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, drugs, and petrochemicals preside invisibly in our air, water, and food supply.

    What does our body do about this toxic overload?

    We do have many natural mechanisms of detoxification. But thousands of years ago our bodies didn’t have to deal with such an onslaught. It could take thousands of years to adapt to all the new chemicals that confront us. In the meantime we need to intervene and support our body’s natural detoxification processes. Some sources say that 80% of the adult body’s resources are directed towards detoxification. The central nervous system uses 10 %, the immune system 5 %, and organ repair requires 5 % of the body’s total resources. These figures highlight the extreme importance of detoxification.

    Let’s look at how the organs of detoxification work:

    KIDNEYS

    Filters waste from the blood and excretes them through urine.

    INTESTINES

    Extracts indigestible material and toxins from food and eliminates them through the bowel.

    LUNGS

    Eliminates carbon dioxide when breathing, while also eliminating any poisonous gases taken in through the breathing process.

    SKIN

    Eliminates toxins through the pores via sweat and skin oil (sebum).

    LYMPH NODES

    Filters impurities in the blood; waste from cell metabolism and toxins from the digestive tract. They collect waste and return it to the liver for detoxification.

    LIVER

    The main organ of detoxification, the liver handles 400 jobs to keep the body functioning properly. Some of those include:

    Manufactures 13,000 different enzymes

    Produces cholesterol

    Conjugates hormones from cholesterol

    Eliminates excess estrogen (needs B6 and magnesium in this process)

    Regulates blood sugar

    Manufactures bile

    Breaks down old red blood cells

    During The Body Rejuvenation Cleanse many people notice an improvement in their overall feelings of well-being. Symptoms they have lived with for years begin to disappear, their energy increases and their skin takes on the Body Cleanse Glow.

    Don’t be surprised, however, if you have a temporary healing crises, such as a head cold, skin rash, headaches, fatigue or viral flare-up. These are merely signs that your body is working to rid itself of toxins now that you have given it the proper conditions in which to cleanse itself. Think of a cold as beneficial mucus elimination!

    Emotions can also be affected. As your liver detoxifies, you may find your temper a bit short. Best to warn those around you that you are cleansing and may be mildly irritated from time to time. This phase of the detox should quickly pass.

    THE GOOD NEWS

    THE BENEFITS OF BODY CLEANSING

    Let’s begin by filling in the Questionnaire that follows this section. This represents symptoms you may be experiencing or have experienced over the past three months. When you are done add up the score and write the total in the box provided at the bottom of the page. At the end of The Body Rejuvenation Cleanse you will repeat the process to see how your symptoms will have lessened or disappeared.

    Detoxification of your organs and cleansing your bloodstream enhances your body’s ability to digest food and absorb the vital minerals and vitamins needed for optimum health. Getting the nutrients that nature intended will result in some surprising benefits including looking years younger, increased energy, and better sleep.

    BETTER SLEEP

    Deep restful sleep is one of the most important functions of the body, yet more and more people suffer from regular bouts of insomnia. It is during sleep that organs and tissues grow and repair. Once you are off the many stimulants consumed daily, sugar, caffeine, alcohol and tobacco, you are able to achieve a deeper sleep. Beginning an exercise program will also encourage restful sleep.

    LOOKING MAHVELOUS

    A striking, glowing, healthy appearance is commonplace for many people doing the Cleanse and your friends won’t hesitate to let you know, they will want some of the pill or potion they think you are taking. The Transition weeks will reduce the bloating in your face and body making it seem that you have lost more weight than the scales record. Your complexion will clear up, the puffiness and dark circles under your eyes will fade and your skin will truly acquire a certain glow.

    STRONGER IMMUNE SYSTEM

    As your immune system becomes stronger from eating nutrient dense foods, your health will improve for the better. For many people unknown allergies or sensitivities
