I drink the tea whenever I am trying to do a total body detox.

There are a lot of herbalists who are saying parasites may be more common than people think.

I love to drink herbal tea. If I can get a good cleansing benefit, all the better.

Colon Cleanse Program

Make your internal plumbing work at peak efficiency

Reconstructive Colon Health System

Lets talk briefly about colon health. Right now the United states is leading the world in Colon Cancer. This can change and colon cancer can be prevented. How? By doing a Reconstructive Colon Cleanse – not just clean – but build soothe and strengthen your entire Intestinal tract . Yes you must strengthen your colon. The Intestines are surrounded by a series of muscles – and just like any other muscle in your body these muscles can become weak. An abnormal colon will flatten out, develop diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, colon polyps, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and poor health. You can renew & restore your Health in about 60 to 90 days.

Properly functioning colon may :
* Renew energy and mental clarity.
* Restore proper bowel function.
* Improve circulation.
* Balance cholesterol levels.
* Improve overall health.
* May help to prevent Colon Cancer.
Do a Reconstructive Colon cleanse – to activate and rebuild. Remember GOOD health starts in the Colon.

A complete colon cleanse system involves 2 components:

• Seasonal cleansing – A thorough detox program
• Ongoing maintenance – Proper volume of fiber and beneficial bacteria

Detox – Clean on the Inside?

Is your body like a clear running mountain stream, or a stinky, rotten, moldy cesspool?

By the way your body is 70% water.

A recent study found an average of 200 industrial toxins
in the umbilical cords of newborn infants.

We’re being exposed to mega-toxins even before birth!!!

It may be time to take responsibility for your own heath. I personally take massive steps to keep my body detoxed on an ongoing basis. There’s no way of escaping living in a chemical dependent, industrialized world, but we can help our bodies get rid of the mess.

Is your body struggling to deal with?

• Pesticide and herbicide residues
• Incomplete elimination of foodstuffs
• Drugs – Prescription, recreational or over the counter
• Heavy metals from dental fillings, vaccines, fish consumption or a variety of other sources
• Consequences of a low-fiber, junk food based diet?
• Pollutants in the air, water and food

First clean the colon

Once the colon is clear, it signals the body to begin dumping toxins from other parts of the body. The lymphatic system, the liver and at the cellular level. If the colon isn’t eliminating well, you are more likely to just reabsorb toxins back into your body.

The Liver is the Oil filter of the Body.

Everything you eat must be processed by the liver, that includes drugs, artificial colors, artificial colors and other “food” additives, caffeine….. this list could go on a long time. In most people the liver is behind schedule.

Heavy Metals Can Cause Nerve Death

And a host of other problems including hormone imbalances, foggy thinking and susceptibility to yeast and other infections.

Mercury, Lead, aluminum and others fall into this category. Too much of these could kill you outright, but smaller amounts can do a tremendous amount to damage to the body.

Reduce Your Intake of Toxins

• Avoid Pesticides – Eat organic produce as much as possible.
• Look for hormone and antibiotic free meat and poultry.
• Avoid large carnivorous fish, Pacific Salmon, Sardines and Herring are some of the better choices.
• Filter your water, distilled, reverse osmosis or carbon block filtered. Read labels on bottled waters.
• Reduce drugs where possible, be sure to have your doctors approval before making changes to prescription drug intake. Educate yourself about natural remedies for common conditions such as colds, stomach problems etc.
• Filter the air in your house, install better quality furnace filters.
• If you do home improvement, new carpet, painting, new furniture; ventilate your house as much as possible.
• Open your windows and let in fresh air

More Ways to Get Rid of Toxins

Sweat – We can eliminate toxins through sweating. Saunas, steam rooms, a hot bath.

Drink a Lot of Water – In order for the body to eliminate toxins thru the kidneys and sweating it needs lots of water.

Herbs – Many herbs can help to the body to get rid of debris it doesn’t need.

Green Super foods – These provide the body with nutrients, while helping to clear out toxins. ]]> http://asktheherbalist.net/detox-now-get-clean-on-the-inside/feed/ 0 http://asktheherbalist.net/good-digestion-a-key-to-vibrant-health-good-intestinal-health/ http://asktheherbalist.net/good-digestion-a-key-to-vibrant-health-good-intestinal-health/#comments Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:53:25 +0000 optahealth http://asktheherbalist.net/?p=72 It’s not just what you eat, but what you digest, absorb and assimilate that counts.

Tips for Good Digestion

Chew, Chew

Here’s the first quick tip to improve digestion, chew your food and chew it good. digestion actually begins in the mouth. Enzymes are present in your saliva, which mixes with the food and begins the digestive process. Thorough chewing also breaks the food down into smaller particles, which makes the entire digestive process easier, and improves absorption of nutrients.

Herbs and Spices Enhance digestion

Herbs are inexpensive and easy to find at most grocery stores. If you have a spice rack at home and you can’t remember how old the herbs are, or when they were last used, it’s best to throw them away and start fresh. Never store herbs above the stove, where heat and moisture can ruin them.
There are a number of herbs that have bee traditionally used to improve digestion. Many of these herbs have other benefits as well along with making food taste better.

• Basil, bay, caraway, cardamom, hot pepper, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, ginger, garlic, rosemary, turmeric.
• Bitters are a traditional herbal tonic for digestion.
• Apple Cider vinegar – Organic only

This is just a partial list. Explore cookbooks and herbal books.

Limit Liquids

The next quick tip, (and this one’s free also) is to limit the amount of liquid you drink with a meal. Water, soft drinks and other liquids dilute the digestive juices hydrochloric acid and enzymes. A few sips of water won’t hurt, but large beverages can have a negative impact on your tummy.

Where’s My Enzymes? Enzymes, were once abundant in our diets before the dawn of modern food processing and the practice of shipping foods long distances. Fresh, raw organic fruits and vegetables contain an abundance of enzymes. Almost no one gets enough enzymes from their diet anymore. Enzymes are critical for good health, they perform myriad of functions in the hyman body. You could not talk, breath, think or move around without enzymes working in your body. One of the primary causes of low energy and chronic health problems is declining enzymes in the body. I personally take enzymes every day. After researching and trying multiple enzyme products, the best one I have found so far is called Food Enzymes.

Healthy Flora Probiotics are the army of healthy bacteria living in our intestinal tract. They help us to maintain health in many ways. There are actually more micro-organisms in the digestive tract than cells in the body. There are several things that can beat up on your army of beneficial micro-organisms: Anti-biotic usage Anti-biotic residue in meat dairy and other products Stress Too much sugar and refined carbs Junk food in general To restore a healthy army of good guys consider a probiotic supplement. Probiotic 11 Multi – Strain Beneficial Bacteria

Eat quality foods

The best way to improve your diet is to increase fresh, raw, organic vegetables and fruits. The old saying goes, Garbage in – Garbage out. When you put junk into your digestive tract, it becomes overtaxed and overburdened. Try putting real food in.

Eating Meditation

is the practice of paying attention to the process of eating. Take your time and really be aware of your food, the taste, the texture. Ask your body, how do you like this?

It helps support the immune system by helping to heal the normal cells, enhancing the lymphatic flow and drainage which remove toxins from tissues. This improves oxygenation and regeneration of the cells and also the energy flow in the body. It also strengthens homeopathic treatment, acupuncture and all natural healing modalities. It will not contradict or interfere with any allopathic drugs. No Toxicity or Negative Side Effects have been known to result from the use of the positively charged Silver Shield.

pH Balance is the Foundation of Good Health

“The first step in maintaining health is to alkalize the body.” – Dr Aurthur C. Guyton

Listen to this quote from the book, The pH Miracle, by Robert O. Young, Ph.D. -
“Bottom line: This program will bring you increased quality and quantity of life. I guarantee you’ll see immediate improvement. Your energy will increase, you’ll find new mental clarity and powers of concentration, you’ll build strength and stamina, and you’ll lose excess body fat, while increasing muscle mass. You’ll have bright eyes and clear skin. You’ll look better. You’ll improve your athletic performance. You entire body will function more efficiently. Whatever health challenges you’ve been facing will improve and most likely evaporate altogether. In short, You’ll regain all the effortless energy and wellness you thought was lost in your childhood.”

What is pH?

A quick chemistry lesson: pH is a measurement of acidity or alkalinity. The picture below shows the pH scale running from 0-14 with 7 in the middle being neutral. Everything below 7 is “Acid”, the lower the number the more acidic and everything above 7 is “Alkaline”. Most experts agree that ideal health exists when the pH of the general body fluids is around 7 or slightly above.

What the Experts are Saying About Alkaline Balance:

Dr Otto Warburg, a noted research scientist, received the Nobel Prize in
1931 for discovering that “To Become Malignant Cancer Must Have A Low Oxygen, Strong Acid Environment.” Research by German and Japanese scientists have added to Dr Warburg’s discovery.

Testing Your bodies pH Level is Simple

To test your own pH levels simply use pH test strips. Wet the strip with saliva or urine and compare to the color chart on the box. You get instant results.

Steps to Balance Your pH Quick and Easy

• Follow the Alkaline diet
• Drink Alkaline Water
• Take a quality magnesium supplement
• Reduce Stress
• Enzymes and Green Superfoods can be helpful
