Several years ago, I learned the health value of cleansing. None of us want to think that we are keeping waste and toxins in our bodies. But the fast-paced life we have come to accept as “normal” and the unusual sleep regimens most of us practice aren’t conducive with good health. God could have made us without the need to sleep. But when we are awake, WE direct our bodies to do what we want them to accomplish. When we sleep our subconscious takes over and the body cleanses itself.
So, to aid in this cleansing process I have adopted a year-long regimen of cleansing which aids in cleansing different body systems by month. I’m calling 2020 “The Year of the Cleanse.” This program is to respond to several of my customers who have asked what cleansing I do and when do I do it. It is not “scientific”, but it has kept me feeling very good for a number of years now. I’m now 74 years old, and with my doctor’s confirmation, I have very few restriction on what I can do. Now, I don’t function like a teenager, but I can do most everything other healthy people my age can, and I sleep well, I eat well, I have a good social life and I still work full time (and enjoy it!
January – NSP’s Clean Start I confess to not eating well between Thanksgiving and Christmas (even up to the New Year when one of my resolutions is always to eat better!) So I always start the New Year with a Nature’s Sunshine “Clean Start.” This packaged product is labeled as a “Dietary Cleansing and Detoxifying Program”, comes in a couple of different flavors, and is a two-week program of both packets of capsules and powdered drink mixes. It “supports the natural, everyday cleansing of waste from the body, moves intestinal contents through the digestive system and helps maintain natural energy levels.”
It contains fiber ingredients like psyllium hulls, soothing mucilage like aloe vera, and the ever-popular chlorophyll. It also has herbs for cleaning the lower bowel – like cascara sagrada bark, licorice root, capsicum, ginger, Oregon grape, red clover and turkey rhubarb. And it contains things that we use for cleaning environmental toxins; like burdock dandelion, fenugreek, pepsin, yellow dock, milk thistle, echinacea and other probiotics.
It does an excellent job of deep-cleaning the colon. We start with the colon because obviously if it is blocked or toxic, other areas may have trouble being cleansed. It’s a great start for the new year. I do one two-week box every January. It really is a “Clean Start.”
We have in the store a number of products from a number of companies that you could use in place of this specific product. They run from single-bottle products, to 3 to 5-day programs, to one-week programs, etc. We even have one that takes 30-days for those who feel severely toxic.
