Cleansing Basics: Products That Help Support Everyday Cleansing Part 3/3

Cleansing Basics: Products That Help Support Everyday Cleansing Part 3/3

The spring 2012 issue of dōTERRA Living Magazine featured this article by Dr. David K. Hill, dōTERRA’s Chief Medical Officer, in which he details 3 ways you can support natural daily cleansing in the body. Here is a summary of those steps:

Step 1: Reduce Exposure

Complete elimination of toxins in the body is virtually impossible. However, there are simple ways to reduce the everyday toxic load the body is exposed to, beginning by taking a healthier approach to your lifestyle and making choices that will decrease your exposure to toxins.

One of these ways is simple enough, but can have a huge impact. Replacing many household cleaners with natural essential oil cleaners is a great first step to reducing your toxic load. Click here to view our cleaning cabinet makeover for ideas. Anther way could be by eating unprocessed food and natural products enhanced with essential oils instead of eating the more traditional processed food options.

Step 2: Specific Daily Nutritional Support

Most do not realize the supporting role nutrients play in our metabolic activity. Maintaining daily nutrition is not only essential to our health, it also provides a gentle way to give core support to the cleansing organs.

You can support your body with daily nutrition through antioxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, enzymes, and probiotics. Antioxidants prevent damage to our cells caused by oxidation and also significantly decrease the damaging effects of free radicals on normal physiological function. Everyday foods that are high in antioxidants include berries, beans, fruits, nuts, grains, and yes, even dark chocolate. Alpha CRS (found in the Lifelong Vitality pack) is a concentrated formulation of powerful antioxidants needed to counteract the harmful effect free radicals have on the body.

Essential fatty acids (commonly known as Omega 3 or 6) help maintain your support tissue and the normal physiology of the body. When we cleanse, our organs rely of essential fatty acids for additional support and protection. Dr. Hill recommends xEO Mega to help us receive the needed amount of fatty acids essential for our bodies. (This product can be found in the Lifelong Vitality pack).

We all know that vitamins and minerals are nutrients our bodies need. Vitamins assist enzymes in releasing energy needed for cleansing the body from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. They also help manage the body’s balance and make sure that each system in our body receives what it needs in order to perform properly. Microplex VMz provides bioavailable vitamins and minerals to our bodies that are often deficient in our modern diets. (This product can be found in the Lifelong Vitality pack).

Enzymes are also necessary for our body to function. Enzymes help digest our food, provide metabolic activity, and help enhance vitamin and mineral activity for direct support in cleansing the organs. TerraZyme Digestive Enzyme Complex is an effective and complete formulation of the needed enzymes to support healthy nutritional and metabolic activity.

In our previous post we learned how probiotics help cleanse our bodies and are key to having a healthy intestinal tract, that not only improves immunity, but can also improve our access to nutrition. PB Assist+ provides a unique active source of healthy flora for a healthy intestinal tract.

Step 3: Focused Nutrition for Cleansing Organs

Aside from the core nutritional elements mentioned above, it is wise to add additional ways to cleanse organs. Zendocrine does exactly that. It targets and supports the body’s major cleansing organs, and depending on your individual needs, can be used for periodic or daily use.

There are many benefits that can be received through proper daily cleansing. Providing your body with all it needs nutritionally to support this important function is essential to your health. Also, it is important to know our body’s limits and improving nutritional support is something everyone should consider when cleansing. Daily nutritional cleansing is the best approach for most people because it is safe and effective without the challenges and unwanted side effects associated with more aggressive cleansing methods.

Lifelong Vitality Supplements Testimony – UT

When I first started taking the Lifelong Vitality supplements. I quickly experienced results with my arthritis. What I didn’t expect was five months later, when I went for my annual physical, that my good cholesterol had gone DOWN, and my triglycerides had gone DOWN 116 points!!! My cholesterol had been increasing year after year, no matter what I did bring down the numbers.

Lifelong Vitality Supplements Testimony – AZ

The recovery from a major MS exacerbation usually takes 3 to 6 months for energy levels to restore.  In July after being in bed for one month, I started Lifelong Wellness.  In just six days, I was back to a full day’s activity levels.  I am now on Lifelong Vitality.  Any person with a chronic disease or facing age related issues will definitely benefit from these wonderful supplements.

Lifelong Vitality Supplements Testimony – CO

After a couple of months on the LLV, I realized that my osteoporosis and arthritis was gone.  It makes sense that if the pain was caused by inflammation, and these supplements are anti-inflammatory, my body needed that help to stop the cycle.  An old bunion stopped hurting and my hair which was white started going dark again.  That winter I noticed greatly improved immunity, mood and energy, even with less sleep.  I feel completely rested with less down time. What an amazing difference there is in good quality supplements.

Ready to kick Candida to the Curb?!

What is Candida?

Candida as defined in the Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary

Pronunciation: \ˈkan-dəd-ə\
Function: noun
1 capitalized : a genus of parasitic fungi that resemble yeasts, produce small amounts of mycelium, occur especially in the mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract where they are usually benign but can become pathogenic, and have been grouped with the imperfect fungi but are now often placed with the ascomycetes
2 : any fungus of the genus Candida ; especially : one (C. albicans) causing thrush
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Unknown to many, Candida creeps in and holds the immune system hostage.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Symptoms consist of, but not excluding: Infertility, depression, headaches/migraines, insomnia, impotence, irritability, dizziness, itching, mood swings, acne, eczema, sinus infections, ear aches, cognitive impairment, thrush, auto immune diseases, anxiety, toe fungus, acid reflux, athlete’s foot, vaginal yeast, sugar cravings, fungal skin infections, chronic pain…

What causes Candida?

Antibiotics & Poor Diet and Nutrition

Treatment protocol as suggested by Dr. Hill:

Use the GX Assist/PB Assist protocol monthly (or more often to start with):

·   1-3 GX Assist capsules daily with meals for 10 days

·   Follow with probiotic PB Assist

*DISCLAIMER – Prepare to go through a “die off” period where your body will feel worse, for a short period, before it starts feeling better. This is normal, PUSH THROUGH! You can do it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eliminating antibiotics (including birth control) is just as important to eating a “Clean Eating” diet. Remember, there is AN OIL 4 EVERY AILMENT. Replace those toxic synthetics with God’s original medicine. Here’s a “Medicine Cabinet Makeover” to give you some ideas on what you can replace, with which essential oil.

Now, the hardest part DIET!

My first suggestion would be to discipline yourself to a strict plant-based diet and only 5-10% animal protein in-take.  Eat ONLY organic produce (You don’t have to buy ALL ORGANIC PRODUCE, just stick to the dirty dozen list)and local farm fresh animal meat.

Studies have shown by reducing animal protein intake one is able to reverse degenerative diseases.  See the documentary Forks over Knives for more information.

Changing your diet and lifestyle into a Clean Eating one can be challenging. Get yourself an accountability partner and join a support forum. Before long, you will be reaping the benefits of good health. My husband is a walking testimony to that.

You only have one liver. Love it.

Liver failure is preventable.

Here are some preventative steps to ensure a healthy liver:

  • Adopt a Clean Eating diet lifestyle is key to building up your body’s immune system, which includes avoiding processed foods, artificial ingredients, artificial sweeteners, canned foods, boxed foods, pesticide-laden produce, powdered protein, and refined sugars.
  • As with all things, moderation is key when drinking alcoholic beverages.
  • Avoid Over-the-counter and prescription drugs, which can cause liver damage and/or hepatic toxicity


90-95% of Cancers are Preventable

Cancer is a Preventable Disease that Requires Major Lifestyle Changes

“This year, more than 1 million Americans and more than 10 million people worldwide are expected to be diagnosed with cancer, a disease commonly believed to be preventable. Only 5–10% of all cancer cases can be attributed to genetic defects, whereas the remaining 90–95% have their roots in the environment and lifestyle. The lifestyle factors include cigarette smoking, diet (fried foods, red meat), alcohol, sun exposure, environmental pollutants, infections, stress, obesity, and physical inactivity. The evidence indicates that of all cancer-related deaths, almost 25–30% are due to tobacco, as many as 30–35% are linked to diet, about 15–20% are due to infections, and the remaining percentage are due to other factors like radiation, stress, physical activity, environmental pollutants etc. Therefore, cancer prevention requires smoking cessation, increased ingestion of fruits and vegetables, moderate use of alcohol, caloric restriction, exercise, avoidance of direct exposure to sunlight, minimal meat consumption, use of whole grains, use of vaccinations, and regular check-ups. In this review, we present evidence that inflammation is the link between the agents/factors that cause cancer and the agents that prevent it. In addition, we provide evidence that cancer is a preventable disease that requires major lifestyle changes.”
