As you can see 9 out of 10 of people are overweight when
suffering from type 2 diabetes, therefore, it is imperative
that body weight must be controlled.

One must look at the percentage of people overweight on this
continent today; it wasn’t like that 40 years ago was it? A
person doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know why
this is so, we live in a different world today.

Our whole atmosphere, soil conditions, eating habits, are so
different. The toxins we collect in our bodies which effect
our organs do not allow our systems to work as the should.

I recall, a couple of years ago a show on Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah had as a guest some sort of specialist, what he was
doing was cutting up cadavers. Not the best subject for a
show I think you will agree. The whole thing wasn’t very
pleasant.

The specialist opened the subjects stomach and took out I
would suggest about 10 lbs of pure fat. Right in the middle
of the fat was the liver.

We have to ask ourselves how apart from the man carrying all
this extra weight around all his life, how ever did his
liver or his kidneys work to full efficiency.

You can well understand, Oprah had a lot to say about this
as you can well understand.

They went into a long discussion as to why this was
happening way more than it ever did.

They brought things up how thousands and thousands of people
were suffering with so many different illnesses, which
included diabetes due mainly to the toxins.

I quote from another article I wrote, “Why we have to get
rid of toxins”

Victims of a Toxic Colon

Have you ever considered this simple question: Are you clean
inside? We shower, brush our teeth and wash our hair on a
daily basis, but we tend to ignore cleansing our insides
until some form of disease sends us a wake-up call. Believe
it or not, our insides, especially the colon which functions
as the “sewer system” of our body, also requires regular
cleaning. Constipation, parasites, IBS, gas, bloating,
stomach pain, chronic fatigue, digestive problems can all be
signs of a toxic colon. Don’t be a victim, suffering
silently from these painful and often embarrassing health
conditions. Find out the truth about colon cleansing and how
it can help you.

Why Is Colon Cleansing So Crucial?

We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a
daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we
breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of
pharmaceutical drugs. In addition, we are eating more sugar
and processed foods than ever before in human history and
regularly abuse our bodies with various stimulants and
sedatives.

“Death Begins in the Colon”

These toxins and “dead” foods lead to poor digestion,
constipation, toxic colon build-up, weight gain and low
energy. These common symptoms are more than just an
inconvenience – they can lead to long-term health problems
and serious disease.

The combination of environmental toxins, an unhealthy diet
and parasites poses a grave danger to humans. “In fact,
parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in
history”, reported National Geographic in its award-winning
documentary, The Body Snatchers.

In order to rid ourselves of these toxins it was required
someone came up with a body cleanse which would be able to
clean out the fat particles, and the toxins from the colon,
liver, kidneys and lungs,plus all the other organs. I am
happy to say I used John Anderson’s natural cleanse, after I
used it I felt 100% better.

imperitive to rid yourself of Toxins. Toxins are one of the

This is also called the master cleanser lemonade fast, lemonade detox diet, Beyonce diet, maple syrup fast and lemonade cleansing diet. It is very popular now. Beyonce lost 20 pounds in 10 days for Dream Girls with it and Robin Quivers (Howard Stern’s assistant) heard about it from magician, David Blaine. She lost 73 pounds with it. There are many testimonials of people losing weight and getting other benefits so it is a great way to lose weight before the prom. But there are complaints about it.

Many people have practiced fasting including Jesus, Moses, Aristotle, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln and many medical doctors. Because of this, it has been constantly improved upon. But because the lemonade diet was created by one person, Stanley Burroughs, it has attracted many people who are afraid to improve on it or change anything about it. So they follow it as a cult.

It is similar to fasting since they are not eating food and consuming water, which is the main ingredient in the lemonade. So they get many of the benefits of fasting like losing weight. The lemonade diet recipe contains these ingredients: water, freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. It is better to take the cayenne pepper in a shot glass with water so you can enjoy the lemonade fully.

People experienced with fasting know that you do not have to worry about the colon. Fasting gives it a vacation and it works better than ever. With the lemomade fast people lose weight (like for the prom) and get health benefits from not eating. But there is a practice done as part of it known as the Salt Water Flush where you drink water with a lot of salt in it. This is what is bad about the lemonade diet. This has genererated many complaints. I tried it once but never again because I felt sick after doing it.

People complain about the taste of it. They complain about wanting to vomit after drinking it and other problems. It consists of drinking salt water which does not get digested but goes thru and comes out the same way that solid waste comes out. Also they complain how you have to be home with easy access to the toilet since this stuff can come out very quickly. The purpose of doing it is to cleanse the colon. When I did it, I did not know what is bad about it and wanted to see if it really did that and it did. Some complain that it does not work with them.

Now these people do not know why it goes through undigested. The reason is because it is very toxic. It does not take much salt, which is not a food, to kill someone. A guy dissolved 4 ounces of salt (112,000 mg) in a quart of water and drank it and it killed him. A quarter pounder is 4 ounces. The American Medical Association is trying to get the FDA to make salt a regulated substance so they can limit the amount that is put in foods. If someone wants, they can use an enema to clean the colon. They are used in hospitals daily.

If someone consumes no salt at all for 2 weeks, they can lose up to 20 pounds (mostly water weight). I will not go into a full explanation of it which is on my webpage on losing weight, but salt has no calories but can make you fat due to water retention. Water weight makes you look very fat and weighs a lot. Also consuming less calories and burning lots of calories has no effect on this weight. Also people doing the master cleanse will drink a laxative tea which can be too strong and cause intestinal cramping. Stanley Burroughs is dead so he cannot correct mistakes that he made so it is up to others to do it.

Already some who are followers of this lemonade diet have made minor improvements like replacing maple syrup with agave (a natural sweetener from a cactus) and taking the cayenne in a capsule or a shot glass instead of it being in their lemonade. Dr Herbert Shelton (ND, DC) supervised fasts on 40,000 people. On the first 6,000 he had all of them take enemas. But then he learned that in most cases you do not need to worry about the colon and the rest were done without enemas or with anything to address the cleaning of the colon. See site below for more on losing weight with the lemonade diet.

Drink Iced Water

Two litres a day minimum. Water has to be iced as the body will burn 100 calories just heating the water to normal body temperature. Also hunger pangs are very often thirst pangs, so this will help you stop over eating.

Add lemon to flavour if you wish and gain the added benefit of cleansing your liver at the same time.

Water also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush waste quicker. When you don’t drink enough water the liver needs to help the kidneys perform this function. When the liver has to help the kidneys its normal function of providing stored fat for energy is slowed down.

Green tea

Drink 5 cups a day. Research shows this can burn a massive 80 calories a day! It is believed the antioxidant catechins in green tea boost the metabolism and help burn fat.

Chilli sauce & mustard

These foods increase your calorie burning capacity by between 5 – 10% for up to 2 hours after eating. This is because they contain capsaicin which speeds the metabolism, so if you enjoy hot food your in luck!

Low fat diary foods

What in the world does a homemade colon cleansing diet have to do with weight loss? Frankly, a whole darn lot! Just think about it for a minute. If you’re full of it you can be retaining body waste and holding fluid. A good cleansing of your colon will work miracles in the way you feel and help get rid of a few extra pounds. This article will provide you with some tips that will help you out.

Colon cleansing diets have the aim of refreshing and cleaning out your colon and other parts of your insides. The positive effect this has on your body is measured in several different ways.

1st. You’ll find yourself having more energy. As all that horrible debris is cleared from your body it makes you feel amazingly energized.

2nd. You will notice your skin looking clearer and more alive. You will have your loved ones asking you what you have done with yourself.

3rd.  You will reduce the bloating in your lower belly area. In fact that new pair of tight jeans will go on easier and look better.

4th. You will lose weight fast.

This is the flow on effect from cleansing your colon.

Colon cleansing may be undertaken through a thorough cleansing action, such as pills or an enema. In addition you can accomplish this through dieting. The second option is much less intrusive than the first and often; more effective. Meanwhile, while dieting you will be treating your entire body, mind and inner being to a healthier you.

There are some important things to remember when going on a homemade colon cleansing diet. These include:

- Drink at least 8 (8oz), preferably more, glasses of water per day. Spring or filtered water is better than tap water.

- Drinking fruit and vegetable shakes is a great way to stave off hunger.
- Eliminate dairy products – they are something to avoid when cleansing the body.
- Cut out red meat entirely or reduce your intake to 6 oz. or less. Meat is the major factor in the build up of toxins in the body. A good substitute for the red meat is chicken or fish.

Steamed vegetables and fruit ideally should make up 90% of your colon cleansing diet. Steamed vegetables retain more nutrients than other ways of cooking vegetables which can often cook out the goodness. Raw vegetables are however the best, although sometimes not the tastiest, way to consume vegetables.

So what other symptoms can colon cleansing assist with? You may be surprised to learn about how many minor symptoms are caused by matter built up in the colon. This may include:

• Headaches
• Tiredness
• Back ache
• Constipation
• Abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Depression
• Weight gain or loss
• Insomnia
• Acne

All of the above symptoms can benefit from a homemade colon cleansing diet.

Today’s dietary trend of high fat foods is rather different to what humans were eating 100 years ago, but our bodies have not changed. This results in the body rejecting much of the food we eat and excessive build up in the colon is one negative result of this.

After completing your homemade colon cleansing diet you must stick to a permanently healthy diet to retain colon and digestive health. As always when implementing a new change to your body it is always best to check with your medical doctor prior to taking the action.

Colon cleansing is starting to gain popularity in the West, especially after top Hollywood celebrities have sworn to the efficacy of this program in losing weight. Actually, this process has been practiced in Eastern Medicine for a long time now.

It is very important to note that not all the food that you eat today will get out of your body through bowel movement in two to three days. Some fecal matters stay inside your intestines for weeks, months and even years. Just imagine the harm that these rotting waste products and toxins inside your gut could create inside your body. In fact, many alternative medicine practitioners believe that the underlying cause of many allergies, skin problems, diseases and conditions is inefficient waste elimination.

The benefits of undergoing a colon-cleansing program are many, but here are the more important ones:

Promotes Efficient Bowel Movement

People who are suffering from constipation will tell you that not being able to move their bowels daily and properly can really cause a lot of problems. Aside from painful elimination, people who are unable to move their bowel for a few days or even weeks can suffer from problems such as acne and pimples, irritability and mood changes, lethargy, and even lack of concentration and memory problems.

Aside from eating fiber-rich foods, a person can improve the quality of her bowel movement by undergoing a colon-cleansing program. People who are suffering from chronic constipation can also benefit a lot from this. After cleansing, you will notice that you are eliminating stool regularly and with ease.

The best thing about efficient waste elimination is that harmful toxins and waste products are prevented from staying inside your gut or from building up for a long time. You see, hard and long-standing fecal matter can also destroy the lining of your intestines.

Prevents Colon Cancer

The incidence of colon cancer is on the rise. Many experts believe that poor diet, eating processed and junk foods, and not taking proper care of the digestive tract are primary reasons for the development of colon cancer. Build up of toxins from junk foods, pesticides, chemicals and other harmful ingredients that seep to the foods that people eat can also be responsible for the increase in the number of people who are suffering from colon cancer.

One natural way to prevent the incidence of colon cancer is through cleansing. If you intestines are clean and free from rotting harmful waste products and fecal matter, then there is a low chance that cancer growths will form inside your gut. If you have a family history of cancer, it may be a good idea to start colon cleansing, eating healthy and staying away from cancer-causing foods.

Helps In Weight Loss

A person usually packs on the pounds if he or she eats a lot of food, especially those with high calories, and does not exercise. Actually, losing weight is simple as eating healthy and exercising regularly. However, many find that despite their efforts to diet and exercise, they still cannot achieve the weight loss that they are aspiring for. The answer to this problem lies in the state of their colon.

If you do not have a healthy bowel movement and you do not eat fiber-rich foods, there is a big probability that your colon is full of waste materials festering inside you. The putrid stool inside you can make it hard for your intestines to properly absorb minerals and vitamins and can also add on to your excess weight. Undergoing a colon-cleansing program may help you eliminate all these additional pounds inside your gut.

There are many ways to go about colon cleansing. Some can be complicated, while others may be quite easy. If you want to experience colon cleansing with ease, you can try Colpurin. Just visit http://www.colpurin.com/ for more details

Nobody wants to talk, or if they can help it, think about colon cleansing. This despite the fact that we all know the tortures of constipation and/or diarrhea.

But, disgusting though we might think it is, we cannot ignore the benefits of colon cleansing, which are numerous and which most of us are unaware of. Several health-related issues are related to this topic, and, where these issues are concerned, colonic cleansing is, perhaps, one of the best solutions.

The first of these benefits is that colon cleansing, or colonic irrigation as it is also known, reduces constipation. People who are deprived of essential nutrients, or have a poor diet, often also suffer from constipation.

The intestinal walls of these people become lined with a plaque-like substance, which, evidently, does not aid good health. Colon cleansing not only strips away this substance, but also allows the stool to move more freely.

Another noticeable advantage is the elimination of diarrhea, which is a condition normally caused by the presence of toxins in the digestive system, and can cause problems for the formation of solid stool.

However, anyone who goes through the admittedly-arduous process of colon cleansing, he/she can be sure that his/her diarrhea problems shall be removed by it, and his/her bowel movements will become more regular and the contents thereof, more solid.

Perhaps the most important benefit of colon cleansing is that it helps one avoid colon cancer. If a person’s family has a history of colon cancer then that person should undergo a routine colonic cleansing at least once a year, as this serves as an excellent preventative measure against colon cancer by keeping bowel movements running smoothly.

The fourth important benefit of colon cleansing is that it often results in significant weight loss. Many people lose large amounts of weight after colon cleansing. While the colon weighs around four pounds, it’s hardly unusual for the cleansing process to flush away as much as ten-thirty pounds of stagnant fecal matter.

Some additional benefits of colonic cleansing are better skin, increased energy levels, overall feeling of health, and increased and better absorption of vitamins and minerals from food. Increased immunity and resistance to diseases is also noted.

Safe natural and herbal cleansers are available in the market that make colon cleansing a simple, inexpensive process. In fact, cleansing one’s colon has never been easier.

Other methods that can be utilized for colon cleansing are laxatives, colon hydrotherapy, colonic fasting diets, etc. Oxygen based cleansers which provide an extremely fast and effective method of colon cleansing and maximize the benefits of it are also available.

Some other benefits of colon cleansing are that it results in increased immunity and greater resistance to disease.

Many people who undergo this process lose weight due to better digestion and a lower rate of water and waste retention. These are merely some of the many benefits of colonic cleansing. A regime of regular colonic cleansing is sure to boost your overall sense of well-being.

Using Organic Products Does Make a Difference
If you’re one of those people who have never given any
thought to what ingredients might be in the products you use,
you’re not alone. And if you’re one of the people who
believe that if it’s on a shelf being advertized and sold,
then it must have been tested and be safe to use, well,
think again. It is so frustrating to me to see how large
corporations sell out their consumers just to make a buck,
but then I guess that’s what makes the world go round, right?
Profits are put before the health of the public and using
“beauty” as the hook, most people are drawn right in. I think
it’s time that we set new standards for ourselves and our
children. Sure everyone wants to look “younger” and “more
beautiful,” but at what expense? We as consumers need to
know what is in the products we are using and how it can
affect us today and in the future.

The truth is that few of the chemicals in cosmetics and
personal care products are fully tested to find out what
kind of affects they have on the humans that use them, and
certainly none of the toxic chemicals are tested in relation
to other toxic chemicals. After all, you do use more than one
product at a time, don’t you?

In other words, no one really knows what the adverse reactions
are at the time of usage or what’s going to happen after they

have accumulated in your body over a period of time.
It’s time for you to become informed, learn about the
ingredients, read about what consumer organizations are doing
to try to protect you, find out about healthy alternatives to
using synthetic toxic products, learn about the effects of
these ingredients and the various reactions that you might
have to them.

Find out the truth about fluoride. Why is it that the FDA
requires a warning on all fluoridated toothpastes telling the
consumer to seek professional help or contact a poison control
center immediately if they accidentally swallow more toothpaste
than used for brushing?

Learn about the possible link between the aluminium in
antiperspirants and Alzheimer’s disease and that there is
research to suggest a link between aluminium and epilepsy.
Using conventional products is a matter of personal choice.
We can avoid many of these toxic chemicals by simply using
organic products instead. We have options. Organic skin care
is an area of the organic movement which has made real progress
in recent times, and where previously there were few options
available, there is now a fairly wide range of grooming products
out there. Another option open to consumers is to make your own
cosmetics using organic ingredients.
As you can see, we are really required to look after our
families and ourselves, no matter what products we are using,
they may toxins.

We also find toxins in our vegetables, our meats, our dairy
products, a great lot of thought has to go into your selection
of foods.

Have you ever asked yourself this question, why is it today
we have more obese people? Up 67% of the population are
overweight today. There were a great lot less many years
ago. A few, but in no way were they around as they are
today, and believe me it will get worse. It will not get any
better unless people educate themselves. Unless they know
why this is happening, the problem will continue to grow.

In order to rid ourselves of these toxins it was required
someone came up with a Natural body cleanse which would be
able to clean out the fatty particles, and the toxins from
the colon, liver, kidneys and lungs, plus all the other organs.
I am happy to say I used John Anderson’s natural cleanse from
the Isagenix company, after I used it I felt 100% better and
had the energy I had lost over the years.

You will also find this company offers Natural Beauty Aids
which are worth investigating.

I would also tell you, I am 78 years old, I feel like a 50 year old
because I cleanse regularly. I would also mention, my first 9 day
cleanse resulted in the loss of 13lbs.
