</p><p>Hey, Mark Ament here.</p>
<p>And you&#8217;re reading my uncensored review of what I really thought about&#8221; Fibroid Cure&#8221; by Shola Oslo</p>
<p>Note that this is a review. If you&#8217;re looking for the official Fibroid Cure website, then click here:  <a href="http://healingvibes.com/fibroids/">Fibroid Cure</a></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1130" title="happywoman" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/happywoman.jpg" alt="fibroid cure review" width="122" height="150" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m writing this review to help you find out if Shola Oslo&#8217;s book can actually help you or not.   You should know, right from the start, that I personally own the book and have read it carefully.</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;ll be going into the good and the bad points of Fibroid Cure, so if that&#8217;s not something you want to read, you might not want to continue reading.</p>
<h3>My first impressions of Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p>I chose to review the Fibroid Cure book precisely because it is one of the top selling natural fibroid solutions around.  Since I review a lot of books on natural health, I have a pretty good sense of what makes for helpful, quality information and what doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>When I opened the email to download the Fibroid Cure I was impressed to find that the program comes with 4 PDF files:</p>
<ul>
<li>The main book which details Shola Oslo&#8217;s program- <em>113 pages</em></li>
<li>A 7 Step Action plan that tells you everything you need to do &#8211; <em>13 pages</em></li>
<li>A book on &#8220;healing foods&#8221; that tells you some of the best things to eat for fibroids &#8211; <em>23 pages</em></li>
<li>A nice explanation of when to use alternative medicine and when not to &#8211; <em>13 pages</em></li>
</ul>
<h3>The top  things that I learned from Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p>As I opened the files and read them I found that the information was very well organized and presented.    The first part of the main book contains a description of what fibroids are, why doctors think nearly 75% of women get them and what the conventional medical treatments for them are.  The author also explains the dangers of those treatments, which include extreme procedures like  historectomy.</p>
<p>Beyond that,  Oslo goes quickly into all of the major natural treatments for fibroids.   She reveals:</p>
<ul>
<li>The link between estrogens and fibroids and why you need to avoid drinking from plastic bottles</li>
<li>The most dangerous medicine when it comes to treating fibroids</li>
<li>What kind of simple exercise can actually reduce the size of fibroids</li>
<li>Powerful herbs that can eliminate fibroids</li>
<li>The importance of detoxification and other lifestyle factors that can reverse the condition</li>
<li>Plus a lot more from both herbal medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)</li>
</ul>
<h3>What I find most helpful about Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re suffering from fibroids, all of the information above is of course great to have.   But it&#8217;s only relevant to you if you actually put it to use.  That&#8217;s where Oslo&#8217;s book really shines.</p>
<p>Unlike many other programs out there, <strong>the Fibroid Cure gives you a 7 step action plan </strong>for treating fibroids naturally.    The steps are very clear and easy to follow.  Oslo includes photos along with descriptions when needed, which makes the program even better in my opinion.</p>
<h3>Who would benefit from purchasing Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p>I think anyone looking to treat their fibroids naturally will benefit from this book.  The information included is much more comprehensive than most doctors will be able to give you.   They simply are trained to treat fibroids with radical procedures and extreme drugs.   That said, if you think you have severe fibroids, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.  I would just recommend going to one who knows something about alternative medicine.</p>
<h3>What I think was left out of Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p>I found the information in the book to be incredibly complete.   <strong>The only thing I think that the author could have included is a section on health promoting recipes and in particular a section on how to cleanse and detox your body naturally through simple dietary changes. </strong> Since diet does play an important role in Oslo&#8217;s proposed treatment plan, I would have liked to seen some more information.   But then again, since I&#8217;m an expert in <a href="http://healingvibes.com/store/the-lifetime-guide-to-colon-health/">detox diet</a> plans as well as the <a href="http://healingvibes.com/store/a-complete-introduction-to-raw-vegetarian-cuisine-ebook/">raw food diet</a>,  I&#8217;m aware that I have incredibly high standards.</p>
<h3>How quickly Fibroid Cure can help someone:</h3>
<p>Like any alternative approach to healing, the program outlined in the book is going to take some time.   It&#8217;s not a quick fix cure.    However, most women who follow the 7 step program report positive results within just  the first 3-4 weeks. When you consider that fibroids take years and years to develop, getting results in just under a month is pretty impressive.</p>
<h3>Proof that Fibroid Cure really works:</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve read through all of the many testimonials of women grateful to have come across the program and seen that Fibroid Cure is making a difference in their health and lives.   Also, though, I&#8217;ve seen the results in my own wife who has used parts of the program since some small fibroids were discovered in a routine ultrasound after her pregnancy.   Recently she went for her annual check up and was found to be almost entirely fibroid free!</p>
<h3>Negatives about Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s really nothing major missing in this program.  But be aware that it will require you to change some things in your life.   This program is not for anyone who wants to sit on the sidelines of life and wait for things to happen.  On the other hand, if you&#8217;re motivated to cure your fibroids naturally, all the information you need is here.</p>
<h3>Getting the most out of Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re willing to make positive changes to improve your health, you really can reverse this condition using the information in the book.</strong> You&#8217;ll need to have a few hours to read through the information included and then you&#8217;ll need to take action to follow the steps outlined in the program.   But if you do, I think you&#8217;ll be impressed.</p>
<h3>My Final Words Fibroid Cure:</h3>
<p>One of the things I appreciate most about this program in terms of risk, is that it comes with a 60 day complete money back guarantee.   If you don&#8217;t like it for any reason, you just let the publisher know and you get a refund.  No questions asked.   That&#8217;s a good deal.  I mean, where else can we expect such service?  Certainly not from our doctors, either alternative or medical.</p>
<p>Having seen and read the material in Fibroid Cure by Shola Oslo I can give it my wholehearted support as a sane, balanced and natural approach to eliminating fibroids and improving health in general.</p>

<h3>Here are some  words from past participants:</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Whilst  sort of prepared for the herbal detox &amp; radical  change in diet, I  was pleasantly surprised   at the holistic approach to general well  being and a nurturing  environment in which to explore spiritual &amp;  esoteric ideas. Well out of the  realm of your typical “Aussie bloke”.  Not only do I feel much better physically  &amp; mentally, this retreat  has helped me to break some addictions, which I  could not at home.  Thank you Mark, Gabrielle &amp; the team for making me aware  of a whole  new approach possible for life.&#8221;  &#8211;Mick O’Sullivan,  Australia</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;In a word: Wow!! Life changing and LIVE LIFE Inspiring!&#8221;  &#8211;Jeneane Whiteside,  Canada</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;The retreat itself was an overall great experience! A deep  dive for  myself in an unknown world to me –spiritual + energizing! Mark &amp;   Gabrielle made this retreat so special with their kind attention and  ability to  integrate people with different backgrounds and mindsets.  Thanks for this great  program &#8211; set in a perfect environment and hidden  between rice fields &#8211; a  beautiful and peaceful place where you can  just BE!&#8221;  &#8211;Constanca, Germany</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone who regularly reads my newsletter already knows that I'm an advocate of conscious cleansing and detox to both restore and maintain vibrant health and vitality.  

Among the many types of programs I recommend and use myself is the "Master Cleanse" which is also sometimes known as the "Lemonade Diet,"  the "Cayenne Pepper Cleanse" or the "Lemonade Cleanse."    

Now, when I first went through 10 days of the "Master Cleanse" program, I did it only with the recipe that I got from a friend and with the support of my wife.   It was a tough 2-3 days to begin with, especially with all the detox reactions, but we made it through.

Later, I heard about the book "Master Cleanse Secrets" by Raylen Sterling,   It's a complete, expert guide to succeeding with the Master Cleanse.   It's 109 pages and full of helpful tips.  </p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/news/bookreviews/a-real-review-of-master-cleanse-secrets/" title="Permanent link to A Real Review Of Master Cleanse Secrets"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mastercleasnesecrets1.jpg" width="125" height="193" alt="Post image for A Real Review Of Master Cleanse Secrets" /></a>
</p><p>Hey, Mark Ament here.</p>
<p>And you&#8217;re reading my uncensored review of what I really thought about Master Cleanse Secrets.</p>
<p>Note that this is a review. If you&#8217;re looking for the official Master Cleanse Secrets website, then click here: <a href="http://healingvibes.com/weight-loss/">Master Cleanse Secrets</a></p>
<p>Why am I writing this? Well, when I was thinking of buying Master Cleanse Secrets, there wasn&#8217;t many real reviews around.</p>
<p>So, I thought I&#8217;d do a quick write-up to help any of you who are in the same position I was.</p>
<p>But be warned, I&#8217;ll be going into the good and the bad points of Master Cleanse Secrets, so if that&#8217;s not something you want to read, you might may as well leave now.</p>
<h3>My first impressions of Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<p><a href="http://healingvibes.com/weight-loss/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-991" title="mastercleasnesecrets1" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mastercleasnesecrets1.jpg" alt="master cleanse secrets review" width="125" height="193" /></a>Everyone who regularly reads my newsletter already knows that I&#8217;m an advocate of conscious cleansing and detox to both restore and maintain vibrant health and vitality.</p>
<p>Among the many types of programs I recommend and use myself is the &#8220;Master Cleanse&#8221; which is also sometimes known as the &#8220;Lemonade Diet,&#8221;  the &#8220;Cayenne Pepper Cleanse&#8221; or the &#8220;Lemonade Cleanse.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, when I first went through 10 days of the &#8220;Master Cleanse&#8221; program, I did it only with the recipe that I got from a friend and with the support of my wife.   It was a tough 2-3 days to begin with, especially with all the detox reactions, but we made it through.</p>
<p>Later, I heard about the book &#8220;Master Cleanse Secrets&#8221; by Raylen Sterling,   It&#8217;s a complete, expert guide to succeeding with the Master Cleanse.   It&#8217;s 109 pages and full of helpful tips.</p>
<h3>What Master Cleanse Secrets has helped me achieve:</h3>
<p>I picked a copy up and had a good read of the information.   And I have to tell you that overall, I wish I had had a copy of it back when I did my first cleanse.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because the information included helps you avoid the major pitfalls of cleansing (like detox reactions) &#8211; this is especially true for first time cleansers.</p>
<p>The high level of support included also keeps more people on the cleanse for longer periods of time.  In my experience, getting over those first 2-3 days on the cleanse can be really difficult.   If you make it beyond that, chances are much greater that you&#8217;ll complete the cleanse and realize your health goals quicker.</p>
<h3>The top 10 things that I learned from Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<ul>
<li> How to reduce common side effects like headaches and hunger pangs</li>
<li> How to prepare  before starting the Master Cleanse</li>
<li> 3 weight loss secrets to help  lose more weight with the program</li>
<li> What to add to the bath water to reduce aches and pains</li>
<li> A list of safe foods that lets  you “cheat”  a little bit and not have to worry about hurting the detox process while on the Master Cleanse</li>
<li> How to keep the mind off food while on the Master Cleanse</li>
<li> The specific type of water to use if for best results on the program</li>
<li> How to master cravings</li>
<li> Why you should rinse your mouth out with water while on the Master Cleanse</li>
<li> The best day to start the cleanse</li>
</ul>
<h3>What I find most useful about Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<p>Although the information is very helpful and the organization of the book is easy to follow and simple, I think the best part of the program is the support.  Not only is there a very thorough and active support forum with tips from users all over the world, both  author  and his expert staff available to answer questions personally, if need be.</p>
<p>This level of personal support really can make all the difference when you&#8217;re cleansing and have specific questions come up.</p>
<h3>Who would benefit from purchasing Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<p>This book is really a must have for anyone who does the Master Cleanse regularly and anyone who wants to start the program today.</p>
<p>The only exceptions to this are of course pregnant and nursing women, children under 16 and anyone who is very sick.    If you have any concerns or major health issues you also really need to talk to a doctor before pursing the program.</p>
<p>One other point &#8211; people with eating disorders should not purchase this book or try this program.  Instead, it&#8217;s advisable to seek support with a licensed health care practitioner.</p>
<h3>What I think was left out of Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<p>Pretty much everything I expected to be there was there.   I think the only thing I found challenging was the initial sales letter on the internet.   It can seem a little bit hyped up and &#8220;selly&#8221; to some.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad that didn&#8217;t deter me from buying it though.   I guess the 60 day unconditional money back guarantee helped seal the deal for me.</p>
<h3>How quickly Master Cleanse Secrets can help someone:</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;ve got 10 days to go on the program you are likely to see some massive health results very quickly.    I&#8217;ve heard of all of the following after people have completed the 10 days:</p>
<ul>
<li> Weight Loss</li>
<li> Increased Energy</li>
<li> Boosted Self Esteem</li>
<li> Disappearing Skin Problems like Acne and Ezcema</li>
<li> Decreased Arthtitis and Muscle Pain</li>
</ul>
<h3>Proof that Master Cleanse Secrets really works:</h3>
<p>Here are a couple of user comments about this book:</p>
<p>JaneS (secretsofthehealthy.com) –  “I have tried, unsuccessfully, for years to do the master cleanse. I never made it past the second day. “Raylen’s Master Cleanse Secrets” was the secret to my success. The recommended 3 days of easing into the cleanse was what worked for me. Day 2 was the worst. By day 4 when I was into the full cleanse, I was feeling no hunger and no cravings and could look at, smell and see food without any problem. The second day I was extremely tired, but stuck it out. By day 4 I was feeling energetic and great…”</p>
<p>Jonathan &#8211;  “What makes Master Cleanse Secrets different and helpful is that it tells you what to do before, during and after the cleanse. All these help you to prepare yourself for a good start, reduce the side effects, and keep the fat off for good…”</p>
<h3>Negatives about Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s not a whole lot to say here other than perhaps the fact that it would be nice to have the book in a paper format &#8211; I ended up printing it out, which ended up costing me a bit more.</p>
<h3>Additional skills or tools needed to get the most out of Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<p>Nothing really needed here, except for willingness to commit and go for the program.  Another cool thing is that the book comes with three bonuses:</p>
<ul>
<li> Optimizing your 4 Purification Systems</li>
<li> Master Cleanse Success Journal</li>
<li> How to Get the Purist Water Possible</li>
</ul>
<p>Plus free membership to the &#8220;Master Cleanse Secrets&#8221; newsletter, read by over 25,000 people.</p>
<h3>My final words about Master Cleanse Secrets:</h3>
<p>There are other cleansing and detox programs out there that I recommend.  The herbal detox I use, goes deeper than the Master Cleanse, but it is also much more expensive.</p>
<p><strong>So, if you&#8217;re on a budget and want to cleanse the fast and easy way, pick up a copy of  &#8220;<a href="http://healingvibes.com/weight-loss/">Master Cleanse Secrets.</a>&#8220;</strong></p>

</p><p>When it comes to supporting the body to heal naturally, the best strategy to start with for almost everyone is intestinal cleansing.</p>
<p>Health conscious people have been practicing intestinal cleansing all the way back to ancient Egypt.  More recently 100s of medical doctors who studied the power of cleansing in the early 1900s found that it can help to body heal faster than any other treatment.   Their findings can be summarized in this quote:</p>
<p class="alert">“If people would take care of their body and cleanse their colon and intestines, their problems would be pretty much eliminated.&#8221;  <em>&#8211;Dr. George C. Crile</em></p>
<h3>It’s important to keep the intestines clean for two reasons</h3>
<p><strong>First, the small intestine needs to be free of mucoid plaque so that we can absorb the <a rel="attachment wp-att-926" href="http://healingvibes.com/news/detox/internal-cleansing-explained/attachment/detox-cleansing-diets/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-926" title="Internal Cleansing" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/detox-cleansing-diets-200x300.jpg" alt="internal cleansing" width="200" height="300" /></a>nutrients from the foods we eat</strong>.  Mucoid plaque is a dense rubber like substance that develops from eating acid forming foods like fried foods, red meat, dairy products and foods made with white flour.  Over time this plaque becomes lodged on the walls of the small intestine and prevents vitamins and minerals from being absorbed.   If you’ve ever taken a high quality vitamin supplement and gotten poor results, it may be because your small intestine has too much plaque in it to allow the vitamins to be absorbed.</p>
<p><strong>The second reason is that the colon, or large intestine, must be strong and clean for vibrant health</strong>.   The colon eliminates up to 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) of bacteria and undigested food from our bodies everyday.  As long as it functions well, harmful toxins and bacteria are removed from the body before they can cause problems.  But if it becomes sluggish or even partially blocked, these toxins remain in the body and can lead to health problems.</p>
<h3>How to know if you need an intestinal cleanse</h3>
<p>It’s been estimated that 90% of the people in the US have partially clogged colons.  If your diet has included large amounts of meat, dairy products and breads you may be among this 90%.</p>
<p>Some health complaints associated with a sluggish colon and blocked intestine are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Low energy for no apparent reason</li>
<li>Allergies or intolerances to certain foods</li>
<li>Skin disorders like acne, itching, eczema, dark circles under the eyes…</li>
<li>Constipation, diarrhea, slow digestion</li>
<li>Frequent colds, infections or headaches</li>
<li>General aches and pains that migrate from on place to another</li>
<li>Regular gas, bloating or bad breath</li>
</ul>
<h3>The good news is that these conditions can be improved if not reversed through conscious intestinal cleansing.</h3>
<p>And even if you don’t have any of these symptoms you can avoid them by making intestinal cleansing a priority in your life.</p>
<h3>How to cleanse your intestines</h3>
<p>There are four major ways to cleanse your intestinal system.</p>
<ol>
<li>Water therapies include enemas, colemas and colonics.  They are a good starting point, but leave deeper layers of mucoid plaque untouched.</li>
<li> <a href="http://thecleansediet.net/the-natural-cleansing-diet-explained/">Cleansing diets</a> involve eating higher amounts of fiber and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.  On a cleansing diet you also eliminate most processed foods.  This type of cleansing can be done long term and usually has good results since it helps you permanently change unhealthy eating habits.</li>
<li> Fasting, including juice fasting, is a great way to give the entire body a quick boost.   Fasting works so well because the body can direct more of its energy to health and healing when it is not digesting solid foods.</li>
<li> <a href="http://www.ultimatecleanse.ws">Herbal cleansing</a> is the most comprehensive type of intestinal cleansing because the herbs work to get mucoid plaque out at the same time that they help the body regenerate vital organs like the kidney and liver.</li>
</ol>
<h3>What are the health benefits of cleansing?</h3>
<p>There are many benefits people report after the complete a quality intestinal cleanse.  Here are a few of the most common ones.</p>
<ul>
<li>Quick and easy weight loss &#8211; average of 5kg (10 lbs.) up to 18kg (40 lbs.)</li>
<li>Relief of constipation and restoration of regularity</li>
<li>Smoother digestion</li>
<li>Disappearing acne, rashes, dry skin, eczema, moles, freckles and other skin problems related to toxicity</li>
<li>Softer skin, improved skin tone, reduced sun sensitivity, fading of age spots and liver spots</li>
<li>Shinier thicker fuller hair, elimination of dandruff</li>
<li>Brighter, clearer eyes and sharper vision</li>
<li> Relief of headaches &#8211; including migraines</li>
<li> Relief of asthma symptoms</li>
<li> Reduction or elimination of food allergies</li>
<li> Relief of arthritis and joint pain</li>
<li> Increased stamina and vitality</li>
<li> Smoother muscle action and greater agility</li>
<li> Needing less sleep</li>
<li> Elimination of  food cravings</li>
<li> Clearer thinking and sharper mental focus</li>
<li> Elimination of depression</li>
<li> Heightened intuition</li>
</ul>
<h3>I could continue the list, but I’d like to let one cleanser share his own experience:</h3>
<p class="alert">“I see things coming out that look like from another planet and I can simply not believe that I have been hosting this stuff for so long, 52 years! The cleanse has been of all the incredible things I have done in my life, one of the land mark changes in my life concerning food and the way I have been living up till now. It’s part of a process of letting go of the past and being refreshed to the new, because internally and very physically I feel absolutely new.  I lost 13 kilos and am eating much cleaner than I have ever done before. When I look at bread for example, I know that it will create more plaque in my intestinal tract. The old lifestyle and old attitudes I have had about myself I see are very related to food. Everything is connected. Once the intestine is cleansed a new beginning can unfold.  And still after 50 days the plaque has not ceased to be released. It looks like I will do another 10 days!  I will keep going with this fasting/cleansing until all is released.”  <em>Peter Gordon, Massage Therapist, Vienna Austria</em></p>
<h3>Where to start</h3>
<p>Many people ask me to recommend a cleanse that they can start with.  I have two recommendations.</p>
<p>1.  For a ready made effective and safe herbal intestinal cleanse, I recommend that you try an “Ultimate Cleanse” kit.  I’ve recommended it for years and anyone can do it.  Click here for full details…</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ultimatecleanse.ws">http://www.ultimatecleanse.ws</a></p>
<p>2. To discover all the strategies for intestinal cleansing that I personally use and to learn how to make your own homemade herbal colon cleanses, I recommend that you pick my complete home study system for colon cleansing,  “Homemade Colon Cleansing Made Easy.”  Click here for all the details…</p>

<h3>Whatever you choose, remember the words of health pioneer professor Arnold Ehret:</h3>
<p>“Dis-ease symptoms are an effort of the body to eliminate waste, mucus and toxemia. Not the dis-ease but the body is to be healed; it must be cleansed, freed from waste and foreign matter, from mucus and toxemia- accumulated since childhood.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>A couple of weeks ago I sent out an article on 3 tips to help you succeed with raw foods. If you didn&#8217;t see it you can read it here:</p>
<p><a href="http://healingvibes.com/news/three-expert-tips-to-make-raw-food-easy/">http://healingvibes.com/news/three-expert-tips-to-make-raw-food-easy/</a></p>
<p>I want to expand on one of the points  I included inthat article here.</p>
<p>I often receive questions from people who want to transform their lives by changing their diets, but are struggling to get the formula right.   I know it can be frustrating to not experience the results of a healthier diet right away, but it is a process that takes some time.</p>
<p>The good news is that there is a way to speed that process up. All my personal and professional experience tells me so.  That way is simply going for a high quality herbal cleanse.</p>
<p>The reason cleansing with herbs helps people get more from all the foods they eat is that it works to remove layers of mucus and mucoid plaque from the intestines.  These layers form when we eat acidic and high fat foods and form a rubber like lining on the walls of our small intestine and colon.  Almost  everyone has this lining and the problem it causes is that it actually prevents nutrients from being absorbed.</p>
<p>After you get this plaque out of your body with a good herbal cleanse you will be assimilating a lot more of the nutrients from the foods you eat and will feel satisfied with less food.  This will make your transition to a healthier diet much easier.</p>
<p><strong>Of all the many things I&#8217;ve done to improve my health, herbal cleansing along with raw food rank as the top 2.</strong> I complete one once a year and I can&#8217;t recommend you to do the same enough.</p>
<p>If this resonates with you and you&#8217;re thinking of doing a cleanse in the next few months, I&#8217;ve got some positive news for you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just been able to convince my friend Brett Elliot to temporarily lower the price of his Ultimate Herbal Detox by nearly 20%.    I told him that I would put it out to this list<br />
and that he&#8217;d be happy with the results.</p>
<p>Brett said he wasn&#8217;t sure how long he&#8217;d keep the sale going, so if you see cleansing in your future, go to his site and pick a kit up.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ultimatecleanse.ws/">http://www.ultimatecleanse.ws/</a></p>
<p>By the way,  you can store the kits for up to 8 months as long as  they are out of direct light and in a dry place.   I usually buy a  couple to have on hand when either my wife or me is ready for a detox.</p>
<p>Have a beautiful day!</p>
<p>Mark</p>
<p>P.S.  If you&#8217;re pregnant or nursing, wait until you&#8217;re finished to complete  the Ultimate Herbal Detox.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>We just got this question in and thought it would be helpful to post the answer here.</p>
<p>From Jenna -</p>
<p><strong>Q: Is detox cleanse good?</strong></p>
<p>In general, and for most people, the answer is “yes.”   People with medical problems need to consult their doctor before starting a cleanse.</p>
<p><strong>Q:  Does it really clean?</strong></p>
<p>A good detox does really clean. Your body is always eliminating toxins, but on a detox program it is able to eliminate more due to various factors.</p>
<p><strong> Q: Is it good for our body? </strong></p>
<p>Detox and cleansing is usually good for most people’s bodies. People who have medical issues need to consult with their doctor first. But generally healthy people benefit greatly from it. Think of it like getting a massage, except for your internal organs.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Which detox should I take? </strong></p>
<p>That really depends on your goals.   If you’re a beginner, we’d recommend that you pick up our “<a href="http://www.safecoloncleanse.com/colon-cleanse-recipes/">3 Colon Cleansing Recipes”</a> book or “<a href="http://www.safecoloncleanse.com/colon-cleansing-diet/">The Colon Cleanse Diet Revealed</a>“  book.    More advanced cleansers should try our <a href="http://www.safecoloncleanse.com/herbal-colon-cleanser/">Herbal<br />
Cleanse Recipe.</a></p>
<p><strong>Q: am i going to  the bathroom every second? </strong></p>
<p>No, but you will need to use a bathroom more frequently than normal. 6-8 movements a day is pretty typical.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Am I going to lose only water?</strong><br />
Good detox and cleanse programs also help you lose fat – that’s just how the body works. Take in less calories than you burn and you lose fat.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/6-tips-to-optimize-your-oxygen-intake/" title="Permanent link to 6 Tips To Optimize Your Oxygen Intake"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/oxygen-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" alt="Post image for 6 Tips To Optimize Your Oxygen Intake" /></a>
</p><p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-596" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/6-tips-to-optimize-your-oxygen-intake/attachment/oxygen/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-596" title="oxygen" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/oxygen-150x99.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="99" /></a>Each minute, even without applying any conscious breathing techniques, we breathe between 6 and 10 liters (1.5-2 gallons) of air &#8211; that’s 8600-11.400 liters (2200-2900 gallons) per day. </strong>This makes the air we breathe by far our most important contact with the external world and the fundamental way we energize and vitalize our bodies everyday and all day long.</p>
<p>Breathing is responsible for 70% of the cleansing and purification of our bodies (20% by perspiration, 8% by urine and 2% by excrement). <strong> In particular, it’s the oxygen in the air we breathe that burns away the toxins.</strong> After drawing in a deep breath, the air we consume moves into our lungs and then passes over millions of tiny membranes through which it enters our blood stream.</p>
<p>It’s been medically established for over 50 years that <strong> disease can&#8217;t exist in a properly oxygenated body</strong>:</p>
<p>“Deep breathing techniques which increase oxygen in the cells are the most important factors in living a disease free and energetic life…<strong>Remember, where cells get enough oxygen, cancer will not, cannot occur.</strong>”<em> Doctor Otto Warburg, Nobel Prize Winner</em></p>
<p>“<strong>Oxygenation</strong> through deep breathing boosts the immune system and can <strong>rid the body of chronic illnesses.</strong>”<em> Dr. Sheldon Hendler, Medical Researcher</em></p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Deep diaphragmatic breathing</strong> stimulates the cleansing of the lymph system by creating a vacuum effect which pulls the lymph through the bloodstream. This <strong>increases the rate of toxic elimination</strong> by as much as 15 times the normal rate.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Dr. J.W. Shields, M.D.</em></p>
<p><strong>Here are some easy ways to get more oxygen everyday:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Exercise more</strong> &#8211; especially low impact aerobic exercise.  Rebounding on a mini trampoline is my choice; a 30-minute session has been shown to oxygenate the blood twice as effectively as running.</li>
<li><strong>Take long walks </strong>in mountain or sea air that is positively charged with negative ions &#8211; breathe deeply and enjoy!</li>
<li><strong>Regularly go to a yoga class </strong>- in one recent study students at UC Davis increased their lung capacity by 7% after practicing yoga just three times a week for 8 weeks! (This level of increase is unheard of among traditional athletic trainers)</li>
<li><strong>Eat more Green foods </strong>- leafy greens like spinach and grasses and wheat grass are up to 42% Oxygen. Green foods are high in chlorophyll that increases hemoglobin production and thus minimizes the effects of carbon monoxide.  Wheat Grass has even been found to dissolve scars formed in the lungs from breathing acid gases.</li>
<li><strong>Use therapeutic-grade essential oils t</strong>hat enhance lung function:  Pine, Fir, Thyme, Raven and R.C. (“Respiratory Condition” &#8211; from Young Living Oils) are my favorites.  Place a drop on the palms, rub together and breathe deeply.  Also rub oils over throat and lungs. Essential Oils are highly oxygenating and nourishing to the cells due to their ability to penetrate the skin and carry oxygen through the cell wall to the nucleus.<br />
Note: Use only therapeutic-grade A essential oils</li>
<li>Mentally program yourself to<strong> breathe deeply throughout the day </strong>- especially when you are around trees and plants.  It’s easy and free!</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/news/a-quick-and-easy-guide-to-internal-cleansing/" title="Permanent link to A Quick and Easy Guide to Internal Cleansing"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/internalcleanse-149x199.jpg" width="149" height="199" alt="Post image for A Quick and Easy Guide to Internal Cleansing" /></a>
</p><p>These days there is a lot of talk and more than a little bit of hype about internal cleansing and detoxification.   In this article I want to clarify what internal cleansing is, identify the types of cleansing and give you an idea of where to start.</p>
<p><strong>The first thing to understand about cleansing and detoxification is that it&#8217;s something that the body does everyday, all day long.  The body is perfectly designed to eliminate toxins and unusable substances on its own.</strong></p>
<p>The major cleaning organs of the body are the lungs, the liver, the kidneys, the colon and the skin.   When <img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-209" title="internalcleanse" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/internalcleanse-149x199.jpg" alt="internalcleanse" width="149" height="199" />these organs are working at their best, radiant health naturally follows.  However, over time, they can start to function poorly, which opens the door for disease.</p>
<p><strong>There are three major factors that determine how well the 5 organs of elimination work.</strong> First is the quality of the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat.  If any of these is contaminated with chemicals like chlorine and pesticide residues or pollution like dust and carbon, you put extra stress on these organs.   Second is the quantity and type of food you eat.  The organs of elimination do best with simple whole fresh foods eaten in small quantities.  Finally there is the question of exercise.  All internal systems work better when you get plenty of exercise.</p>
<p><strong>Simply changing these 3 elements will help your body detox naturally.  It can also help to regenerate and restore your organs. </strong> And that&#8217;s where internal cleansing starts &#8211; with changing any habits that interfere with the function of the lungs, liver, kidneys, skin and colon.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 7 things you can do to support these organs.</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Practice deep breathing &#8211; yoga and chigong are two traditional disciplines that can help you learn how to do this.</li>
<li> Take liver cleansing herbs such as dandelion and milk thistle.</li>
<li> Drink 1 oz. fresh parsley juice to cleanse the kidneys.</li>
<li> Practice skin brushing and stop using any chemical soaps and lotions on your skin.</li>
<li> Complete a cleansing program that addresses you colon health.</li>
<li> Change your diet to include mostly fresh fruits and vegetables.</li>
<li> Learn to fast regularly &#8211; this gives your body a chance to regenerate.</li>
</ol>
<p>There is no doubt that the range of potential health benefits is broad and impressive when you learn to care for internal systems of your body.</p>
<p><strong>For beginners I recommend starting with a complete program that teaches you how to change your diet and slowly add herbs that will help restore the function of the internal cleansing organs.</strong> The two I recommend are:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/news/detoxing-your-environment/" title="Permanent link to Detoxing Your Environment"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/A-Toxin-Free-Life_Report-150x183.jpg" width="150" height="183" alt="Post image for Detoxing Your Environment" /></a>
</p><p>In doing some research for an ebook I wrote recently, I was shocked to discover this statistic: <strong>since 1965 over 10 million chemical compounds have been created in labs! </strong> That&#8217;s a LOT of new chemicals that we can potentially be exposed to.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true that some of them have little or no adverse affect on human health, but others can cause sickness or even death.   I won&#8217;t go into all the details in this article, but I do think it&#8217;s worth sharing a few stats.</p>
<p>According to Linda Berry, ND. , author of &#8220;Internal Cleansing,&#8221;  <strong>2800 chemicals are added to our foods everyday,  700 toxic chemicals show up in drinking water, especially the supposedly “pure” water from plastic bottles.   Plus 800 proven neuro-toxic chemicals are used in common cosmetics and perfumes and 500 toxins can be found under kitchen sinks and in laundry rooms. </strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of some of the most well known of these chemicals like:<a href="http://healingvibes.com/store/a-toxin-free-life-ebook/"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-4" title="A Toxin Free Life Ebook" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/A-Toxin-Free-Life_Report-150x183.jpg" alt="A Toxin Free Life Ebook" width="150" height="183" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Sodium Lauryl Sulfate</li>
<li>Mineral Oil</li>
<li>Parabens</li>
<li>Benzene</li>
<li>Formaldehyde</li>
</ul>
<p>But these are just the most infamous.  There are 100s of others that may be as dangerous.</p>
<p><strong> Given the sheer amount of chemicals available combined with poor regulation in the cosmetic, food and clothing industires, it&#8217;s little wonder that people suffer from diseases linked to chemical toxins in epidemic numbers.</strong></p>
<p>But I don&#8217;t mean this to be a gloomy article.  In fact, I believe we can do something about this situation &#8211; it&#8217;s up to each one of us to eliminate as many dangerous chemicals in our lives as possible.</p>
<p><strong> One of the first things I&#8217;d recommend is to go through your entire house and get rid of as many chemical products as possible.  This includes food, cosmetics, cleaning supplies and even clothing. </strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t think something as simple as eliminating the chemicals in your everyday environment would make much of a difference, consider this story from environmental toxoligist, Peter Dingle.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;We went through a really traumatic half-decade when my wife had horrendous joint pain that the doctors couldn&#8217;t diagnose. Ultimately, through a lot of research on the web, we found out that she is highly allergic to what are called &#8220;formaldehyde precursors&#8221;, which are present in many scented soaps and detergents, and definitely in cosmetics. We cleaned out the bathroom and kitchen cabinets of any products using these chemicals. Within 24 hours, she was able to walk without pain, as miraculous as that sounds.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read at least 25 similar stories about  chemicals in cosmetics, foods, water and even clothing over the past few years.   And I have no doubt that there are 1000s more like them.</p>
<p><strong> In my opinion, the best way to protect yourself is to educate yourself.  Find out what chemicals are considered most dangerous and read labels so that you can avoid products that contain them. </strong></p>
<p>You can do this on your own if you put in some research time,  but if you&#8217;d like to get the information  quickly and all in one place, pick up a copy of my ebook, <a href="http://healingvibes.com/store/a-toxin-free-life-ebook/">&#8220;A Toxin Free Life.&#8221;</a> In it I list the most dangerous chemicals in cosmetics, household products, foods, clothing plus give practical strategies on how to get them out of your life.</p>
