"Recently, I completed a seven-day fast and a colonic cleansing, and I found that after that cleansing process the craving pretty much disappeared. Also, I wake up in the morning feeling rather alert, and I don't have this compulsion to eat sweets. I think that because I am staying away from sugar, I generally am having better days psychologically. —Bob According to a 2007 study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, more than 30 percent of adults in the United States experience alcohol abuse or alcoholism during their lives." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Will it give me a 'cleansing reaction'?" I ask, politely declining his offer. The prospect of getting ill—sorry, cleansed—on an isolated Thai island isn't high on my list of priorities. "It might give you a cleansing reaction," answers Kiawe, unhelpfully. "He's nervous," says Ta. "He should be," says Kiawe. "You should be," agrees Ta. I pick up a dark chicken carcass. There's barely any flesh on it because of the shrinking caused by weeks of air-drying. I put a brittle tendon into my mouth. It has the texture and flavor of masking tape. "What do you think?" asks Ta, testily." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "All illnesses are just cleansing reactions," he says. "It's your body's way of expelling toxins." When Ta brings out a platter of chicken bones, fish ligaments, meat jerkies and other air-dried meats, I'm pretty certain that I don't want to taste any of it. They tear into the food with almost exaggerated pleasure. Kiawe holds a dried chicken out toward me. 'Will it give me a 'cleansing reaction'?" I ask, politely declining his offer. The prospect of getting ill—sorry, cleansed—on an isolated Thai island isn't high on my list of priorities." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"The Earth is cleansing herself. In cleansing herself she vomits, and whatever you hear is the cleansing. It is not negative. It's just all the terrible things that were put in her womb and are coming out now. People will eventually be so unsatisfied that they will have no other choice than turning to God, to truth. Everything will begin to fall apart. To achieve peace, we need love and forgiveness. But how many are ready to forgive? "Move away from worshipping the material world and move toward finding Divinity within. Forgive orhers, forgive yourself. There is a great power when you forgive." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"So, before the start of the second year of his master's program, Harry ttaveled to a South African clinic to undertake a cleansing fast and detoxifying enema regime. A friend of his who had suffered from CFS had claimed to be cured by following the program. The program did seem to work, at least in cleansing Harry's body. Over the month he was there, his body released masses of white, jellylike parasites, but otherwise, the fasting was making him sicker. His weight dropped from 154 pounds to just over 111 pounds." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Later on, civilizations recognized yogurt's digestive health benefits and spoke of yogurt's "cleansing" attributes and its contribution to longevity. It was not until the turn of the twentieth century that the cultures used to make yogurt were isolated by Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikoff from the Pasteur Institute. Yogurt YOGURT-FRESH BREATH! Where Is Yogurt Made? Yogurt is now made throughout the world. The largest yogurt manufacturing plant in the world is located in Minster, Ohio. Why Should I Eat Yogurt? Yogurt reigns supreme in calcium!" - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"In most patients however, magnesium therapy is extraordinarily safe and even in high doses, no side effects have been noted except for a "cleansing effect." If this is not desired, then you can reduce your intake of magnesium and your loose stools should be curtailed. What are the best forms of magnesium to take? Although magnesium oxide is commonly used in many supplements, this form is usually poorly soluble and therefore not well absorbed in the body. Studies seem to indicate that only about 4% of magnesium oxide is absorbed." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Chlorella's cleansing action on the bowel and other elimination channels, as well as its protection of the liver, helps keep the blood clean. Clean blood assures that metabolic wastes are efficiently carried away from the tissues. Chlorella gets its name from the high amount of chlorophyll it possesses. Chlorella contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant. Chlorella can speed up the rate of cleansing of the bowel, bloodstream and liver, by supplying plenty of chlorophyll." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Some products target individuals who have experienced digestive distress from using antibiotics, cleansing (e.g., detoxing) or traveling. Such formulas contain high potencies of multiple Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium strains. Around the world, you can find examples of products that are designed for a particular health concern, but these are not very common. Production Techniques There are two main ways of making probiotics. In a sterile laboratory environment, probiotics are cultured under strict controls to ensure that purity and potency are attained." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In the fall and spring, when root vegetables are plentiful, "liver cleansing" is advised. In the summer, berries, which are rich in antioxidants, protect us from the sun's radiation while melons cool us. We tend to ignore our seasonal clues about diet that can help to direct our supplement needs. Western science now supports these ideas, and we are living at a time when all philosophies can be used to complement one another. To be honest, even with the best hormonal and nutritional supports, aging can be tough. I am fifty years old. I love being fifty, but that sounds so cliched." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Consider bowel cleansing with herbs and/or testing for overgrowth of bacteria and yeast if your bowels are not moving regularly. Follow a diet high in antioxidants so that quinones won't form from 4-OH estrone. Consider rotating antioxidants throughout the year (discussed in chapter 4). Monitor hormone metabolites with a twenty-four-hour urine test each year. Maintain low levels of 4-OH estrone and 16-OH estrone to prevent overstimulation of the uterus and breast and avoid cancer-promoting quinones. If levels are high, supplement with I3C (400 mg/day). Maintain high 2-OH estrone levels." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"They only thrive in a specific internal environment that encourages and promotes their growth. cleansing such an environment, by whatever means, can make a tremendous difference with regard to healing cancer. A toxicity crisis like pneumonia or chickenpox, unless suppressed or combated, removes large amounts of toxins and helps the cells to "breathe" freely again. Fever, sweat, loss of blood, mucus discharge, diarrhea, and vomiting are additional outlets for toxins to leave the body." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Pain is merely a signal that the body is actively involved in a healing response that includes repairing damaged tissues and cleansing itself. By suppressing pain with medication, you short-circuit the body's internal communication and healing mechanisms and practically force it to hold on to, and eventually suffocate in, its own waste. Cancer is a natural consequence of dealing with such a distressing, unnatural situation. Mutated Genes Don't Cause Cancer Cancer cells are normal, oxygen-dependent cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to survive in an oxygen-deprived environment." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "You can easily heal the causes of arthritis, Crohn's disease, and psoriasis through cleansing of the liver, kidneys and colon, eliminating animal protein from the diet and eating a nutritious vegetarian diet, while adhering to a balanced lifestyle. I suffered from rheumatoid arthritis over 35 years ago, and once I knew what caused it, I healed it quickly without any medical aid. I appeal to all parents whose children are afflicted with arthritis, Crohn's disease, and similar disorders, to protect them against medical treatments designed to destroy their young and growing bodies." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"In return, Rome required of its new federates Visigothic help in cleansing Spain of "other" barbarians. The shortsightedness was perhaps understandable, given the historical value of the land Rome called Hispania. By the time the Visigoths were hired to police it, Spain had been a province of Rome for nearly seven hundred years,* since the Second Punic War." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Digestive enzymes break down foods, while systemic enzymes break down harmful proteins like cancerous tumors and fibrosis (scar tissue) while also regenerating healthy tissues, fighting inflammation, strengthening the immune system by increasing natural killer cells, cleansing the blood, and killing viruses. Our bodies naturally produce enzymes, however, as we age (enzyme levels decline between 27 and 35 years old), eat poorly, or fight illness, environmental toxins, and stress, we may run short on the amount of enzymes needed to maintain good health." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Continue as long as desired. • cleansing and detoxifying: Take 2 ounces twice daily, either 1/2 hour before breakfast and at bedtime, or 1/2 hour before any meal. • When health is compromised (active illness): Take 3 ounces two to three times daily, either 1/2 hour before breakfast and at bedtime, or 1/2 hour before any meal. • For situations that do not respond (severe problems): It may be necessary to take 3 ounces of the tea three or more times per day, 112 hour before meals and at bedtime. Are There Side Effects? There are no known side effects from taking Flor-Essence.

"Burdock root {Arctium lappa) is a blood and lymphatic-system cleansing herb that contains several flavonoids and polyphenols shown to have antioxidant activity. One ingredient, inulin, strengthens the liver, pancreas, and spleen. The vitamin A and selenium in burdock aid in free-radical elimination. Turkish rhubarb root {Rheum palmatum) contains several anthraquinones, including emodin and aloe-emodin, which have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects, including inducing cancer cell death." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The possibility of weight training is new to the world of cleansing technologies, and is made possible by Juice Feasting—drinking sufficient quantities of green vegetable juice to provide the body with the nutrient-dense building blocks necessary to build lean body mass. Everyone is unique, so you may have a need to increase the amount of juices or nutrient-dense superfoods to provide the calories and macronutrients required for this kind of building program. At this stage you will be sensitive enough to know how to make the adjustments." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"What do you think?" asks Ta, testily. "I really like plain things," I say, diplomatically. 'Yes!" agrees Kiawe, lurching in the hammock. "The bacteria is the seasoning. Aged meat is full of enzymes—like cheese or wine." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"This is conducted during days 30-60 to give your body some time to clear out other waste matter before getting to the more sensitive liver cleansing. A parasite cleanse is done during days 60-80, as this is the point in a Feast in which there is nowhere left for the parasites to hide (because the Juice Feast is an intestinal-bowel cleanse, removing uneliminated waste matter where parasites can take up residence). Alternatively, there is the more intensive Tree of Life liver-gallbladder-fluke-parasite cleanse that can be accomplished in conjunction with Juice Feasting from days 7-49." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Thank God for information on cleansing." • "After the cleansing my skin is now smooth and pink, just like a little child. It's amazing. I look ten years younger." • "After the colon cleanse I lost my pot belly. It's unbelievable. It works." • "The colon cleanse did the trick for me. My stomach is a thing of the past." • "My whole family noticed a difference. No one could believe how flat my stomach was." • "It's obvious why we haven't heard about this. Doctors would lose too much business." • "It's truly amazing how everything changes with a clean colon." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"The act defined a cosmetic as "an article intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, sprayed on, introduced into or otherwise applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or altering the appearance." Under the act, cosmetics manufacturers were still not required to evaluate the safety of ingredients prior to the marketing and sale of products. And only after a cosmetic had injured or killed enough people for the pattern of risk to be brought to the FDA's attention would the FDA then have the authority to remove that product from the market." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "As the scope of nail salon services gradually expanded over the past decade from just manicuring to pedicuring, massaging, cleansing and beautifying hands and feet, and soaking them in spa water tubs, reports began surfacing of outbreaks of bacterial infections of hands and feet in unsanitized salons. These developments create a whole new set of challenges for salons and for regulatory agencies." - Samuel S.

"Another gentle detergent, ammonium lauryl sulfate, is widely used as a cleansing agent. However, in its action as a penetration enhancer, it also has a degenerative effect on cell membranes, particularly at concentrations over 1 percent. 2. Harsh Detergents. Harsh detergents act as penetration enhancers by damaging the skin and increase its permeability to varying degrees. Two of the most widely used harsh detergents are sodium lauryl sulfate and glyceryl laurate." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Ethoxylate detergents, commonly used in shampoos and other cleansing products, can be largely purified of their hidden carcinogens, ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, through a simple, inexpensive vacuum-stripping process. Steam-stripping is even more effective, particularly for ethylene oxide. (You can usually tell when ethoxylates in a particular product have been decontaminated, because they are labeled "ultra-purified.") Even purified, however, ethoxylates still contain low levels of these two carcinogens." - Samuel S.
