Our blood stream is the “River of Life”…to help our bodies to get the best, we need a good transportation system of arteries, capillaries and veins…Miles and miles of our arteries are being clogged with toxins from our water, sugar, and excessive carbohydrates.
One of the most important things we can do for our health is to keep ourselves healthy by cleaning & keeping our bloodstream clean.
In the arteries and veins, we have cells that have to be kept alive with proper feeding of the body.Our biggest problem is refined sugars and starches, and fried foods, because it is causing hardening of the arteries…just like the plumbing in your house…corroded with calcium & hard water minerals…the water just drips through a little channel in your house pipes and the same thing is happening in your body.
The sugar and the starches, which turn to sugar, these foods leach out into the veins and weakens them.The veins become so weakened, the next thing you know, you feel a bee sting and it has broken…enough of them break and we have varicose veins, phlebitis of the arteries and veins, and poor circulation.They must be kept in good condition for our bodies to be in a healthy state.
Our goal is to keep away from processed foods,and tap water, because this does the same in your arteries, as it does in your pipes…over 3,000 lbs of solid calcium is dumped into your body and it forms kidney stones, gallstones, cataracts, and bone spurs.
Rebuilding this system is our goal…and it can be done.But we’re in a modern world with layered issues and we need more to handle our body detoxz-kleanzing, than simple one-herb formulas.
Also, during our 2 Moon Detoxz-Kleanze,distilled water is one of the most important things we can do to remove the excess minerals.It will help to remove the unassimilated minerals from our systems, if these minerals are not removed, they are collected in the tissues as spurs.We can also use fresh lemon juice in our distilled water to help remove toxins from our tissue, muscles and general system.
This detoxz/kleanze will clean the entire body; the organs, the marrow of the blood and the entire system.
The liver performs an array of functions to keep us healthy, it converts food into energy, deactivates any toxic substance we breathe and eat, absorbs and processes fats and vitamins and creates many hormones, enzymes, amino acids, and proteins that are essential for health.One ofthe major jobs is to clear the blood of toxins, it is a filter and filters 2 & ¼ pints of blood per minute.The better the liver works, the more toxins are processed and the better we feel.
The filter process is what makes it the one of themajor components of our immune system.
All organs in the body, and the body itself, tend to have certain periodic cycles to their functioning.Brain waves are very fast, the menstrual cycle is very slow.The liver cyclesevery 24 hours.
The highest function is at 9am and the lowest at 9pm.
Problems that occur when the liver isn’t working at the best capacity are loss of libido, menstrual irregularities, impotence, loss of body hair, severe mood swings and premature aging.
One of the best supportive herbs for the liver and is a very slow-acting (takes weeks to months to really show its’effect)food herb, which means it can be consumed in large quantities over long periods of time.It has been used by every culture as a supportive liver herb and as a general tonic, liver and blood herb. It is very high in chlorophyll and is double the Vitamin A of carrots.
During this 2 Moon Detoxz-Kleanze,we will also do the 3 Day Juice kleanze at least once per Moon/month.
We’ll also take a Detox Bath (unless you have HBP, use 1 cup of Epsom salt (Magnesium) that will draw toxins from the system, soothe the nervous system and assist in liver detox for 20 minutes at 2 or 3 times per week..
We’ll do this 2 Moon Detoxz-Kleanze at 4 to 6 vegi-caps or 1 cup – 3 x’s per day, for 6 days per week for 6 weeks, (until Feb 9th), then switch to the Sarsparilla Kleanze, until Mid-March, then end of then switch back…
No fried foods, no white flour, sugar.

Shifting your diet for 2 to 3 months according to the following plan will give your liver a building- rest.You definitely need enough protein and EFA’s in your meals. Make sure you include enough a protein for at least 1 to 2 weeksand eat chlorella and spirulina to ensurethat your are receiving enough protein in a form that your liver can easily utilize.
1.Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water every day.Do not use tap water.
2.Eliminate all dairy products, eggs and sweets.
3.Eat whole grains ( brown rich, millet, barley, oats, quinoa, etc) beans, lightly steamed vegetables, fruit and light fish 1 time per week.
4.Use only olive oil for cooking.It is naturally antibiotic and will not go rancid.You may use butter on food.
5.Drink all the fresh vegetable juices you like.Fruit juices are great and fresh-squeezed is preferred.Use only organic apple juice.
6.Do not use salt. Use tamari, and any other spices you like.
7.The only caffeine source can be Green tea.No alcohol
8.Eat fruits first and alone. They digest rapidly and when eaten with other foods are held in the stomach, where they can cause gas and intestinal problems
9.Do not eat fried foods.
10.Sugar, eat only maple syrup, stevia or honey.Maple syrup contains all essential vitamins and minerals necessary for health.
11.Many emotional issues may arise during any change in eating, especially when the body is using up its stores of fat.Remember, that this is normal and make no major life decisions during this time.(Journaling is good during this time.)& Goal setting is helpful.
12. Detoxing from negative media is part of your kleanze...Go cold turkey off t.v. for one week. The same is true of the radio...listen to music with little to no words...this will heighten your senses and enable you to listen to your "guided voice", or your "creative spirit".
Here’s a recipe that you will enjoy.Make it your own.
