Here is the Seventy Fifth issue of our online #
newsletter, "Spirit of Health." We bring you articles which are #
always beyond the mainstream medical school of thought, and may #
be new to the alternative minded, as well.


CLEANSING YOUR INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT FOR NATURAL HORMONAL BALANCE #
- Part 1

People think that creams, patches, pills or herbs handle hormonal#
imbalances; and food programs and cleansing therapies are #
optional. This misconception keeps folks sick.

Greatly improve your nutritional intake first, repeatedly go #
through and cleanse the colon, kidneys, liver and blood, and then#
use herbs or creams, if now needed. Building a skyscraper from #
the 10th floor up, is not as workable as putting in a deep #
foundation first. The foundation consists of correct diet, #
detoxification of accumulated waste and enough exercise to #
circulate the whole business.

Without cleansing and effective nutrition, the creams and herbs #
will not usually continue to work. A polluted colon can and will#
effect the proper functioning of other organs and the hormonal #
secretions of glands. The same is true of a dysfunctional set of#
kidneys. The blood is contaminated with excessive waste matter #
and thus interferes with the effective distribution of hormones #
throughout the body. Without adequate hormonal management, the #
sex organs, heart, brain function, eyes, etc., are all adversely #
affected. Allowed to go on long enough, and body parts can cease#
to function.

Most people's blood is entirely too thick. It is thick with #
cholesterol, fat and waste particles. The liver's job is to #
remove fat from the blood. When the liver is congested and the #
gall bladder is stuffed with stones or mucus, then the #
circulation is greatly diminished. The liver thins the blood. If#
it can't do its job, the circulation to the sex organs, lungs, #
digestive system and all other areas of the body, is poor.

The solution is to reduce the polluting effects of a poor food #
program and stimulate the tired liver with a liver flush - #
rejuvenate it and get the blood sent along in proper condition.

Food program improvements and organ cleanses have a positive #
effect on female problems and male difficulties. The bottom line#
is to get the blood in proper condition and flowing to where it #
needs to arrive.

The liver controls your energy level by regulating the amount of #
glucose available for your brain and the rest of your body. #
Naturally, when your liver is sluggish, tired and sickly, you #
will not get the glucose release needed. All of the glands of #
the endocrine system use the blood to carry hormones to where #
they need to go. The liver's job is to also cleanse out #
unnecessary hormones from the blood system so that communication #
can occur more efficiently.

Liver cleansing is second only to colon cleansing for getting #
results in most people.

=============

QUESTION: What is the very first thing a person should do to #
start cleansing themselves internally?

ANSWER: To begin with, stop eating the diet you have been on. #
One of the most effective means to heal and strengthen the body #
is to do a juice flush. At the same time, you dramatically #
increase your nutrition by using Vital Nutrition Plus. You take #
8 to 12 tablespoons a day, depending on body size or desire to #
get well quickly.

Once you get the juicer working, the canning jars filled (at #
least 2 quarts consumed daily - (see the Colon Cleanse Program), #
and VNP powder used in volume in place of meat, dairy and #
poultry; now you have to make sure your bowel is working. This #
means two to three bowel movements daily. If an MD has told you #
one every three days or so is normal, he's right, this is normal #
for constipated, standard american diet people; not toxin free, #
healthy people. In order for your body to create hormonal #
balance it needs to eliminate waste about as often as it creates #
it from processing meals. Three meals a day equals three bowel #
movements a day. Less than this and your colon, liver, kidneys #
and blood are being stressed.

=============

QUESTION: Don't you feel weak and sick when you do a cleanse?

ANSWER: Not if it is done correctly. Change the food program; #
then make sure the colon is cleaned out and working; then detox #
the other internal areas of the body. Done in proper sequence, #
and degree of intensity, the cleanse programs should not reduce #
ones ability to confront and handle their functions in life. On #
the contrary, you should feel more alert and energetic, overall.

=============

QUESTION: What's all this talk about the colon? How can it #
effect people so much?

ANSWER: It is the number one waste elimination organ of the body.#
When the bowel swells up from constipation or impacted fecal #
matter, it can put pressure on the veins returning from the legs.#
The result can be headaches, varicose veins, painful periods or#
prostate problems. When the colon is clogged up , the rest of #
the body's detox functions cannot occur until the body knows the #
colon can move the stuff out.

=============

QUESTION: Is there a "biggest mistake" people make when doing a #
cleanse or juice flush?

ANSWER: They don't consume enough. Nearly all people think of it#
as a deprivation program. Something they do for a few days or #
weeks while they starve. Like on a fast. Our programs are not #
fasts. The more you consume of the juices, raw foods and Vital #
Nutrition Plus, the better the program works. You cannot drink #
too much fresh squeezed juices, or eat too much salad, or consume#
too much Vital Nutrition Plus. If you try a cleanse and you are#
overweight, your weight will reduce, and you will feel great in #
the process. If you are underweight and you "pig out" all day #
long on the three food items above, you will slowly gain weight #
and health improvement, but not fat. Your weight gain will be in#
terms of lean muscle mass or other tissue strengthening, but not#
"unsightly chub stuff."

=============

QUESTION: How much is enough?

ANSWER: If you are strictly doing the juice flush, you must #
consume a gallon of fresh squeezed juices, teas and 8 tablespoons#
of VNP a day, MINIMUM. When eating raw foods, make the meal #
gargantuan. Start with a large salad tossing bowl and when you #
are done making your salad, take it to the table and eat your #
meal from it. The volume should be too much to eat in one #
sitting. Put the remaining portion in a large zip lock bag, #
squeeze out all the air, and put in the refrigerator to eat later#
in the day.

=============

QUESTION: I'm sensitive to sugar. All this juicing could not be#
good for me, right?

ANSWER: The sugar content of fresh-squeezed juices a very #
different form of sugar and the body will quickly adjust to #
handling it as the organ functions are strengthened. Meanwhile, #
one can mix their fresh-squeezed juices with 30 - 50% purified #
water to make the juice O.K. to digest.

=============

QUESTION: What can everyone expect from doing a cleanse program #
strictly according to the book for the first week or two?

ANSWER: More energy than they've felt in years, probably. #
They'll feel lighter, more awake for a longer portion of the day.#
Fifty to seventy percent of the bodies energy is taken up in #
the process of digestion, assimilation and elimination each day. #
Raw foods, juices, and VNP will require only twenty to thirty #
percent. the extra dividend in energy will go to healing, repair#
and you, for whatever needs creating in your life.
