LONG POSTING on cleansing and water

[Guest guest]

Dear Herbalists,

With the number of colds etc around at the moment and the posting's

requesting Herbal Formula's for Hypoglycemia, being too fat etc., I

thought I would just post this article about Colon Cleansing.

Dr.Schultze found that most of the diseases that he was requested to

cure vanished when the colon was cleansed, the patient became

vegetarian, exercised, took hot and col showers and avoided stressful

situations in life.

In essence - he detoxed the body and the spirit.

Here is the article - followed by a brief description of the

Cleanses you can make yourself..............Love Penny (I am also

including an article about Exercise and Water as there is a famous

Doctor who cured people just by making them drink water and nothing

else....)

 

Basic Cleansing and Detoxification Program

by Dr. Richard Schulze.

Digestive system and colon health have reached an-all-time low in the

United States and Canada. Diseases of the digestive tract are on the

rise.

In 1994 the #1 Cancer among men and women was Colon Rectal.

 

 

Modern lifestyle has taken its toll on our digestive/elimination organs.

 

Refined, processed, low fiber foods, animal fats, a lack of exercise and

 

an

ever-increasing level of stress all contribute to our current

gastrointestinal health crisis.

 

 

The frequency at which a normal, healthy person should move their bowels

 

has been a great misconception among the public and most medical

professionals. For years, doctors have thought that anywhere between 1

bowel movement a day and 1 a week was normal. In the examination of more

 

primitive peoples, we find that their bowels move much more frequently,

2

to 3 times daily on the average. This is due to the fact that these

people

eat better, get more exercise and have much less stress. What we have

learned is that it is normal to have 1 bowel movement a day for each

meal

you eat, (if you eat 3 meals you should have 3 bowel movements).

 

 

The Merck Manual, the medical industry's standard text for the diagnosis

 

and treatment of disease, tells us that colon degeneration is on the

rise.

The incidence of diverticulosis has increased dramatically over the last

 

40

years. It states, that in 1950, only 10% of adults over the age of 45

had

this disease, in 1955 15%, in 1972 30% and in 1987 almost 50%. The

latest

edition states that the incidence " increases rapidly " over age 40 and

that

" every person will have many " if they live long enough. Every American

 

adult will have herniation of the large intestine.

 

 

Diverticula are saccular herniations that protrude through the wall of

the

colon. These " bowel pockets " are almost always asymptomatic, (you can't

feel them). They are caused by a sluggish constipated bowel. These

pockets

fill with old fecal material which can be reabsorbed back into the

bloodstream. This can infect the entire body causing all types of toxic

reactions.

 

 

A sluggish bowel can retain pounds of old, toxic and poisonous fecal

matter. Many times the real cause behind sickness and disease is this

retention and reabsorption of this toxic waste.

 

 

The first step in everyone's health program should be stimulating,

cleaning

and toning all the elimination organs, and the bowel is the best place

to

begin.

 

 

Day #1: Start with only one capsule of Intestinal Cleanse #1 during or

just

after dinner. This formula works best when mixed with food.

 

 

Day #2: This morning you should notice an increase in your bowel action

and

in the amount of fecal matter that you eliminate. The consistency should

 

also be softer. If you do not notice any difference in your bowel

behavior

today or the difference wasn't dramatic, then tonight increase your

dosage

to two capsules. You can continue to increase your dosage every evening

by

one capsule until you notice a dramatic difference in the way your bowel

 

works. It has taken most of us years to create a sluggish bowel so let's

 

be

patient for a few days and increase by one capsule each day only.

 

 

By the end of the first week you, should know what your dosage is. If

not,

then remain on this formula alone for an additional week to get

regulated

before you go on to the next step.

 

 

Week #2: At the beginning of week two is when we begin to start the

Intestinal Cleanse #2. We will take this formula 5 times each day

beginning

in the morning. One hour after your morning nutritional drink, mix 1

heaping teaspoon (=eight capsules) of Intestinal Cleanse #2 powder with

8

ounces of diluted juice (mix the powder with the juice or just take the

capsules with the juice). The powder mixes best if you shake it in a

small

jar. Do the same 1/2 hour before lunch, between lunch and dinner, 1/2

hour

before dinner and 1 hour before bed, so that you are consuming a total

of 5

heaping teaspoons each day.

 

 

During or after dinner, take your Intestinal Cleanse #1 as usual but

increase the dosage you discovered the first week by 1 additional

capsule.

If you feel a bit bound by the #2 formula, you can increase your dosage

of

the #1 formula even more.

 

 

Helpful Hints: It is helpful to drink additional liquid after each dose

of

Intestinal Cleanse #2, at least 8 more ounces. Drink plenty of pure

water,

herb teas and diluted fruit and vegetable juices during this two-week

colon

cleanse. A good amount is between 64 and 128 ounces of liquid each day.

This makes the program more effective.

Whilst on this, you should not eat anything from a face or with

day).

Lots of vegetables and fresh fruit (difficult at this time of year I

 

know......but do able........Love Penny (and here is the article on

exercise and water for your information)

According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre, tofigure

out the amount of water needed when you exercise multiply your weight in

 

pounds by 0.67 to get the ounces you actually need. (a 135 lb woman who

works out would need 90 oz - around 11 glasses)....otherwise , without

increasing your water intake you can cause dehydration, headache,

diarrhoea, muscle cramps and you can then end up being confused and

exhausted ! Since most of us have enough confusion and exhaustion, this

is not a good thing......so EXERCISE AND DRINK WATER!!!!! Lots of love

Penny
