CLEANSE VS DETOX ~ 

The New Year tends to prompt us as a society to reflect on what our choices are.  It’s also the time of year that individuals attempt to make resolutions and start something new.  If you are looking at a cleanse or detox for yourself perhaps this will open up an internal discussion to decide your best approach to 2012.  You will find that it is a combination of both cleanse and Detox.

For clarification there is difference between cleanse and detox.  To cleanse is to make clean.  Detoxification or detox for short is the removal of toxic substances from a living organism, including, but not limited to, the human body and additionally can refer to the period of withdrawal during which an organism returns to homeostasis after long-term use of an addictive substance.  In my opinion, addictive substances include but are not limited to sugar and/or artificial sweeteners, coffee, alcohol/drugs, mental thought patterns, and emotional thought patterns. 

As a personal consultant I listen to the needs of my client.  While listening and constructing a plan for cleansing or detoxing I go back to the basics of natural health. The ABC’s are a basic step everyone can follow.  A-Activate; B-Build; C-Cleanse.  Your physical, mental and emotional bodies need to be in balance with this approach.  Therefore, you may need to support your emotional body before getting to the cleanse stage. This falls into detoxing your system before you cleanse.  Detox your mental and emotional bodies using the Advanced Homeopathics~New Sun Mind and Body Formulas.   Crave No More (14-6), Emotional Healing (14-8), and Self-Esteem (14-23) are just a few to help jump-start any cleansing program.

The Advanced Homepathics~New Sun Aller-Detox formulas are fantastic for~ fatigue, headache, diarrhea, indigestion, mental fogginess, insomnia and urinary tract dysfunctions.  They assist in improving liver, lymph, kidney, digestive and colon function. They include Aller-Detox Indoor Pollution Control (18-4) and Aller-Detox Total Body Cleanse (18-6).

For those of you that are ready to clean your physical body please read about the Absolute Cleanse products that New Sun offers.  There are 2 formulas; Absolute Cleanse (80-0) with Psyllium and Absolute Cleanse (80-8) with Flax.

Absolute Cleanse*
The Name Says It All

It is important for our health to wash and clean the outside of our body and to clean our teeth. It is even more important to clean the inside of our bodies. However, drinking water is not enough to do the tough job of cleaning the residue that builds up inside our bodies. Some examples of items that need cleansed from inside our bodies are: undigested food that turns into toxins, waste that is not yet eliminated, sugars and preservatives we ingest in our food, chemical sprays and residue that have not been properly washed from the fruit and vegetables we eat, and environmental poisons in the air.

Each day we breathe emissions from cars, trucks and airplanes. In addition we are exposed to chemicals, paint, and cleaners. In the water we drink, shower and bathe with, we find chlorine and more chemicals. We take prescription drugs and consume MSG and other preservatives in our food without realizing it. We also receive damaging effects from most deodorants, perfumes, lotions and facial cosmetics. Most of us take better care of our cars (changing the oil, filters and regular maintenance) than our precious internal organs.

Our blood needs to remain clear and free from impurities and our lymph system needs to be flowing properly and free of stagnation. Prevention is important. So what can we do? The answer is Absolute Cleanse. Absolute Cleanse contains thirty-six herbs which may help clean and maintain our bodies and support our immune system.  

THE FORMULA: The importance of fiber is well known. It cleans and keeps the digestive system healthy which may help with weight control. This formula contains soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber acts as a scrubbing broom in the colon. The Psyllium seeds are soluble fiber and acts as a lubricant as well as a cleaner.

Ways to enhance your cleanse and detox~

• Daily Meditation or Deep Breathing
• Detoxing bath using Miracle II soap (15-1)
• Eating the proper Nutrition
• Maintain proper hydration ~ ½ of your body weight in ounces of water each day (a person weighing 140lbs. would drink 70 oz water daily)
• Keep a Journal
• Have a small support crew of friends or family that will encourage you
• Write yourself a note or letter and mail it to yourself for encouragement. Include what your personal goals are. Send the note as if you have already reached your goals.

I am confident that you will be making the most beneficial choice for yourself this New Year.  Remember that there is no time frame for when you make your choice or resolve to make a change.  You may start 2012 with a plan in mind and it may take 6 months to see your results.  As you are detoxing your mind, body and spirit of old habits you are replacing them with new health habits that you use and share every day.  Bring it back to the ABC’s of Wellness.  Activate a new thought pattern. Build up your reserve of energy and Cleanse your life of what no longer works for you. If you have any comments please share them with us.  Kristen can be reached at kristen@thegroundup.us .

 The photo above captured a moment on Christmas Day in my parents kitchen.  As I mention often, I suggest keeping a variety of supplements on hand, just in case.  Matt and Pam arrived to our holiday celebration not feeling 100%.  So I called them over to Coleen's Cabinet (see below) and gave them the herbs to help them boost their immune systems.  Matt called me and said "What did you give us, we felt great!"  Naturally, I gave him the list of herbs that he took and we made sure that he has his own supply.  It is a great reminder that supplements and herbs are available for all body systems.  Especially to help boost and support the immune system. I love to share the gift of wellness.  If you need a boost to your energy or immune system call or email to schedule your personal wellness consultation today!

September 2011

When I was growing up, I learned from my mother what to have on hand in case of emergency or for regular use.    My friends knew that if they had anything that they wanted help with, we’d visit Coleen’s Cabinet.  Our family’s pantry was full of vitamins, herbs and supplements (to this day is still is).  I am happy to say that I now have a similar set up for my friends and family when they visit my home.  I often give the entire bottle away.  Kristen’s Kabinet is always open to those in need.  Here is my list of favorites that are in Kristen’s Kabinet that I think we can all benefit from having on hand~

December 2011

We often hear “take care” or “take care of yourself” as an ending to a conversation or as closing statement in an email but what does that mean to “take care”?  As a statement of good health, let it serve as a beginning to a lifelong habit of wellness, actually taking care of self first.  Take Care is celebrating your strengths and forgiving your weakness or flaws as it relates to self.

Getting Back to Basics with Natural Health has been a motto and constant thought for me and for those that I have encountered over the past few months.  It is so simple to get away from that mindset as the holidays approach.  It is equally as simple to get back to the basics at anytime.    We tend to get wrapped up in the details of life and we at times need a refresher for ourselves.    

When I was a kid it was a rule that if I was sick and missed school, I could not participate in any activity that was outside of the house that day…even if I felt better.   I would beg my mom. The answer was a simple, no, “you weren’t well enough for school you are not well enough for activities”.  This resonates with me today.    I don’t like to miss out on anything!   Let alone for being not well enough to participate.  I have learned to be proactive with my health.  

If you aren’t sure where to start, here are the Basic Steps to Better Health.  There are 5 steps;  Step 1-Polarity Balancing, Step 2-Acid/Alkaline Balancing, Step 3-Enzymes, Step 4-Immune Builders, Step 5-Multiple Vitamins and Minerals.  The Basic Steps to Better Health are listed on New Sun’s web site and will go into detail about the supplements that fit into each category.  These steps are simple to adopt and the supplements are fantastic!  Increased energy and stamina, clarity and strengthened immune systems are all benefits of starting here first.  Any age at any time!  Especially at holiday time, you will have improved digestion and mood.

I would like to encourage all who read this to be prepared for all of the opportunities and magic that the holidays have to offer.  You won’t have to miss any holiday cheer for being sick.  If you are in good health and have a strong immune system then you are ready for all that is coming to you.  Think of all of the holiday gatherings and special events that you can attend in good health. Whether you are looking forward to traveling, visiting with the special people in your life or are going to stay close to home and enjoy all that winter has to offer that you at this time of year. 

Learn that you don’t need disease, illness or emotional traumas to force you take care of yourself.  Take a total and proactive approach to your wellness, today!  You can carry these healthy lifestyle practices well into New Year’s Resolutions.  Here’s to the best holiday season ever! Happy Health to you and your families.
