Everyone needs to cleanse and detoxify! All of us are stressed, to a lesser or greater degree, by an ever mounting buildup of toxins, chemicals, bacteria, and parasites. A medical researcher, Kenneth Bock, MD, states that humans are “walking toxic dumps!” Why? Because of the industrial wastes, herbicides, pesticides, additives, and heavy metals we unknowingly absorb from our food, cosmetics, air and water – even the mercury amalgam fillings in our teeth! Moreover, our place at the top of the food chain means that we are subjected to concentrated doses of potentially harmful chemicals from the meats and dairy products we consume.

According to a 1990 survey by the Environmental Protection Agency, every single person tested showed some evidence of petrochemical pollution in their tissues and fats. Some of the chemicals found included styrene (used in plastics), xylene (a solvent in paint and gasoline), benzene (a chemical found in gasoline) and toluene (a carcinogenic solvent).

Nearly every American will be affected by a chronic, degenerative, and/or debilitating disease. Cleansing the body and its internal systems is very beneficial for degenerative diseases, allergies, Alzheimer’s, arteriosclerosis, arthritic, asthma, bursitis, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, insomnia, multiple sclerosis, rheumatism – and, of course, colds, infections, influenza, and often just sluggishness and general poor health. Cleansing allows the body to work towards fighting off the disease and not be encumbered or overloaded with the accumulation of toxins, mucous, and parasites that have built up over the years.

An effective and efficient cleansing program must target many different parts of the body – the blood, colon, intestines, stomach, liver, kidneys, pancreas – and address many different types of internal pollution and poisoning, including waste buildup, heavy metals, parasites, fungi and yeast. The body cleansing program should combine high water consumption (purified alkaline water) with high potency herbs, digestive enzymes, and therapeutic grade Essential Oils. These oils have a special lipid soluble makeup, which give them a remarkable ability to penetrate cell membranes, break up undigested food, and oppose toxins. Essential Oils and Pure Water also deliver oxygen, which has an unparalleled ability to inhibit the growth of many types of microbes. In fact, many essential oils have been studied for their unique antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties. Some oils, like rosemary, have demonstrated significant antiseptic activity, with documented research appearing in many scientific journals.

Our modern, hectic lifestyle, poor eating habits, depleted, overly-refined foods, lack of exercise, and pollution, all place undue stress on the human body, and contribute to the growing rates of cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and immune-related disease.

Compare the human body to an automobile engine. A new car comes with clean oil, but over time the oil becomes dirty in its job of lubricating the engine so it can operate properly. The oil itself is cleaned as it passes through the oil filter, and after a time the unclean oil and the clogged filter must be replaced. If you do not replace it, the engine will eventually be ruined. The human body is a living system that is constantly cleaning itself. But if the system is overloaded with impurities, eventually it cannot handle them anymore and there will be a major buildup, then a breakdown, and ultimately a shutdown.

Already, according to statistics, one in every three persons faces the scourge of cancer. And the astronomical advance of immune-related disorders in recent years is very alarming. Yet – this does not have to be our fate! We can learn the elements of good health and what to do to restore vibrant health. We must first overcome our ignorance and then practice the simple principles that promote good health.

We can look back with antipathy on archaic medical practices, such as leeching and blood-letting. Among many others, George Washington was literally “bled to death”. Perhaps it is only a matter of time until we will be looking at the present practices of “cutting, burning and shooting” the body full of radiation in a similar vein. Today we are very well aware that blood-cleansing – rather than blood-letting – is the answer. We are well aware that good health, or disease, is determined in large part by the quality of the bloodstream. The healthstyle wave of the future is in prevention. Life indeed is in the blood, for it is this river of life that delivers health – or disease – to the body’s cells. Louis Pasteur stated, “It is diseased tissue that creates a natural habitat for germs and viruses. It is not the germs – rather, the putrified environment they live in – that causes disease to occur.” Therefore, we must “Clean our River of Life ”, to find the beginning of renewed energy, better health and well-being.

Have you heard there is no cancer in Hunzaland? Nestled in the valleys of the beautiful, snow-covered Himalayan mountains, Hunza provides a peaceful, pure environment. Here the people live very close to the land, close to nature, breathing pure air, drinking pure water and eating food in its natural state. The average Hunzan lives a healthy, robust life, free from disease, then simply dies in his sleep well beyond the age of 100. The whole nation of 10,000 people has only one doctor!

We do not need a whole course in physiology and biology to know how to care for ourselves properly – common sense and basic principles underlie good health and proper living. We do need clean, fresh air, pure water, invigorating exercise and nourishing food. There is a great deal of truth to the old adage, “You are what you eat”. However, it is more accurate to state, “You are what your body makes out of what you put in it - in other words, what you absorb.” A healthy body must properly digest, assimilate, process and deliver nutrients to every cell. It must also eliminate cellular waste and defend against external pathogens (disease-causing agents).

Research in the field of Energy Medicine – which addresses the Body-Mind-Spirit Connection – leaves little doubt that attitude affects health. Folk wisdom has long held that optimism leads to good health, and modern medicine is beginning to pick up on this. “It is part of the cure to desire to be cured”, said the noble Roman philosopher, Seneca, a contemporary of Christ.

“Change of diet will not help a person who will not change his thoughts. When a person makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food”, wrote James Allen, whose inspirational classic, “As A Man Thinketh”, has positively influenced millions of people. The body is the servant of the mind. A long, healthy and happy life is rooted in faith and obedience to the Laws of Nature, and every human being has the opportunity to experience all the goodness in nature; therefore, ideal health is based on the foundations of Body-Mind-Spirit.

“Amazing Medicines In Nature work synergistically with Body-Mind-Spirit”.

HealthStyles4URx offers a comprehensive approach to Total Body Cleansing and Detoxifying that involves proper eating habits, moderate exercise, a positive mental outlook, and getting rid of built-up toxins and waste (the by-product of our unhealthy lifestyles.

Accumulated waste throughout the body is an underlying cause of all disease. It provides the breeding ground for germs and parasites, interferes with normal body processes, and leads to premature aging and death. The backbone of this program is proper elimination of waste through the blood, kidneys, liver, colon, and lymphatic system. Excessive stress, too much protein, fat and sugar in the diet make the typical American overly acidic. Too much acidity leads to inflammation – “itis” conditions – and pain. In addition, the program speeds up removal of uric acid from the bloodstream.

The colon of most every adult alive today is encumbered with a lifetime’s accumulation of toxic waste matter. Each year, Americans spend millions of dollars for relief of constipation. Constipation, because it doesn’t appear life-threatening, and is a socially delicate topic of conversation, usually is endured or simply ignored. But ignoring this problem can lead to more severe problems like hemorrhoids, hiatal hernias, and colon cancer.

With the HealthStyles4URx cleansing program, old, hardened waste will slowly break apart, releasing tissue that may now receive nutrients that are needed to enable them to resume their physiological tasks. Muscles of the large intestine will resume functioning normally to revive the peristaltic (wavelike) motion. Constipation and other bowel troubles become a thing of the past. And, by removing those several pounds of waste that never leave the body of the average person, we can experience amazing improvements in health – including weight loss and brighter, cleaner complexion.

Laxatives irritate the wall of your colon, but the special herbal combinations that we offer will actually clean the accumulated filth off the colon wall by dissolving mucus, while feeding the peristaltic muscles in the system, which are essential to good digestion and proper elimination.

	Nearly every disease, including colon cancer, stems from a filthy colon?
	There are over 100,000 cases of colon cancer discovered each year and about 50,000 U.S. residents die from it every year?
	Diarrhea is a form of constipation?

Cascara Sagrada Bark, dried and cured, is one of the most effective, gentle and non-habituating laxatives available. It is used very often – not only by herbalists – but by doctors and the general public. Many proprietary laxatives are built around Cascara. Its effectiveness is mainly due to its high anthraquinone content.

Arthraquinone, or A-factors, and their analogues, act on the large intestine where they arrive intact, but are quickly hydrolyzed by colonic microflora to active agents. Cascara contains the mildest acting of all the A-factors. They produce a soft stool in about 6 – 8 hours, with little or no griping effect. They have practically no effect on the small intestine, but cause vigorous peristalsis in the large intestine. These factors are verified in the writings of the Drug Evaluations of the American Medical Association - in Remington’s Standard Reference Book on drugs – and in several individual research papers.

In addition to its mild action, the herb does not lose its efficiency with repeated use. The problem with many cathartics is that increased dosages often become necessary with prolonged use. In fact, Cascara can be used to correct the habitual constipation incurred by the abuse of other laxatives. It operates not only as a non-habit forming laxative, but as an aid in restoring the natural tone of the colon.

Many of the over-the-counter laxatives contain some Cascara, but one must be very careful which product is chosen, because some contain substances of extremely questionable value. For instance, some contain belladonna alkaloids (atropine and scopolamine). Strychnine is sometimes added to laxatives! It usually appears in the form of its parent source – Nux Vomica. The amount of strychnine in a single tablet is usually harmless - and it is also useless – but the total content of several tablets may be capable of causing fatal convulsions. Two other substances to avoid are podophyllum and aloin, both are far too drastic in action for safe use.

To Summarize the properties of Cascara, we see that:

• The cathartic action is mild;
• It is not accompanied by discomfort, colic, or griping;
• Its actions is limited to the large bowel;
• It is efficiency is not lost with repeated use;
• It is not habit forming;
• It can correct habitual constipation by restoring intestinal tonus

Nutritious foods in proper combination greatly ease digestion and assimilation restoring life-force to cells. Valuable supplements offset loss of nutrients from modern food processing. Liver cleansing reactivates the manufacture of vital enzymes, the essence of life itself. A moderate exercise program aids the important lymphatic system, which relies on muscular movement as the “pump” to accomplish its duties.

Japanese researchers have scientific proof that Chlorella can alleviate constipation. A study conducted at the Mimasake Women’s College, chlorella was found to increase frequency of bowel movement, total stool amount and improved stool consistency.

“It’s not penicillin – not insulin – and it isn’t bypass surgery! It’s the awesome power within the human body to heal and rejuvenate itself!” says Dr Julian Whitaker, MD

Many people are unaware that they have colon or rectal problems until they are diagnosed with a serious illness. They are often shocked to find that their bowel habits are not normal. This is an understandable situation, since these problems may have been chronic since childhood. Being a socially “taboo” subject, people have no standards of comparison.

It is normal to have one or two soft, formed, and easily passed, bowel movements a day without any straining. People with constipation have hard, dry, small stools that tend to stick to the colon. Therefore, the bowel must work harder to eliminate these stools by developing high-pressure contractions. As the problem persists, the bowel is no longer able to produce significant pressure. People become increasingly dependent upon abdominal muscles to “push” or “strain”. This causes numerous health problems, including infection of the colon, diverticulitis, anal fissures and perhaps increased risk of colon or rectal cancer.

Bowel transit time is a measure of how long it takes for food to go through your system. A bowel transit time of 12 – 24 hours is ideal. A transit time of more than 24 hours can put you at a much greater risk of developing colon cancer. You can determine your transit time by taking charcoal tablets (available at health food stores and drug stores), or eating beets. When you notice darkened stools, calculate how many hours have passed since you took the tablets or beets.

Experience for yourself the simple, easy procedures for cleansing your colon naturally by using the 3-Step system we have outlined: 1) Mucus Cleanse, 2) Total Body Cleanse, 3) Colon Cleanse.
