Detoxing, why, what and how:
Who can benefit from the detox programme
Virtually everyone can benefit from doing a cleanse from time to time. We are all bombarded with toxins on a daily basis. Toxins are found in the foods we eat (including pesticides, food additives and preservatives), air pollution, chemicals in household products, cosmetics and drugs (including drugs given to livestock). It has been estimated that on average we consume 2-3lb of food additives per year. Toxins build up in the body when the toxic load is too high or our eliminatory functions are not working effectively. Fat-soluble toxins can be stored in fatty parts of the body for years and many illnesses are directly related to a build up of toxins in the body.

How it works
When the body is overburdened with toxins they are re-circulated from the colon back to the liver. The liver then tries to remove the toxins from the blood supply so as to protect the vital organs by sequestering (binding) the toxins with fats and fluid. This causes fluid retention and a bloated abdomen and the fat-soluble toxins are bound into fat deposits, especially around our hips, back of legs and arms. The body is then reluctant to ‘give-up’ these sequestered toxins despite efforts to shift these fat deposits with dieting and exercise. The herbs used in this programme support the body to render these toxins less toxic so the body is encouraged to release & eliminate them. The fluid retention & bloated feeling disappear leaving you with a flatter tummy and the fat deposits associated with fat-soluble toxins also disappear.
How to take the detox programme (As directed for normal use)
Take one capsule from each of the 6 bottles with a 10 ounce glass of water, followed by another 10 ounce glass of water, approx. 15 minutes before meals, up to three times a day. The course will take 10 days.
It is essential whilst on the programme to drink the recommended amount of water (2 litres minimum) to ensure the released toxins are effectively eliminated out through the colon and removed from the body.

Detox symptoms
You may experience brief ‘detox symptoms’ including looser stools, headaches or slight nausea, each are signs that the cleansing process is working and accumulated wastes are being eliminated. Although uncomfortable at first, these symptoms typically disappear within the first 5 days and are followed by an increased level of energy, alertness and sense of well-being.
How often should I detox?
The 10 day detox programme should ideally be taken twice or three times a year. This frequency should be sufficient for most people to prevent a detrimental build-up of toxins.

This cleanse is not recommended for people who are very ill or frail or children. It should not be taken by women who are pregnant or lactating.

Ingredients and their properties:
Black walnut Hulls: Black walnut hulls (husks) have been traditionally used to expel parasites. The hulls contain a compound known as juglone which has antiparasitic and antimicrobial properties. Juglone enhances the liver’s detoxifying functions, primarily phase II detoxification, the process by which the liver alters a toxic substance to make it less toxic and easier for the body to excrete.
Burdock Root: Burdock is used primarily as a tonic herb and blood purifier by improving the breakdown & excretion of toxins & wastes to improve overall health, vitality and enhances digestion. It encourages the body to release toxins by supporting the skin, kidney & colon elimination channels. Burdock stimulates bile secretions and exhibits hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) effects. It contains high concentrations of naturally occurring fructooligosaccharides which promote the growth of healthy intestinal flora and also demonstrates antibacterial properties & inhibits the growth of Candida yeast.
Cascara & buckthorn combination: This blend of herbs acts as an intestinal stimulant. The blend stimulates the production of digestive fluids & bile to promote peristaltic action in the colon, relax abdominal cramping, enhance liver function, purify the blood, neutralize acidic conditions, destroy intestinal parasites and fight infection. This combination of herbs stimulates urine flow to expel toxins and cleanse the urinary tract.
Peony & Cinnamon combination: This blend of herbs not only protect the liver and support healthy liver function, but also promote the health of the gallbladder, spleen and stomach. The herbs work synergistically to help prevent liver damage from drugs & environmental toxins, as well as improve circulation and digestion, they lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, relieve inflammation and pain, and calm anxiety & irritability often associated with liver problems.
Psyllium Hulls: are a dietary fibre and are effective for restoring regular and easy bowel movements. Psyllium hulls bind with carcinogens and other potential toxins and also have been shown to lower cholesterol levels.
