The Joy of Detox

"There is no natural death. All deaths that come from so-called natural causes are merely the end point of progressive acid saturation. Many people go so far as to consider that sickness and disease are just a ‘cross' or an element, which God gave them to bear here on this earth. However, if they would take care of their body and cleanse their colon and intestines, their problems would be pretty much eliminated and they could eliminate their 'cross' by proper diet, proper exercise, and in general, proper living." --Dr. George C. Crile, head of the Crile Clinic in Cleveland and one of the world's great surgeons.

Taking the time to cleanse and purify your body periodically is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Dr. Shaklee would refrain from eating solid foods one day a week to help keep his body clean.

In today’s modern world, over 5 billion pounds of chemical pollutants are released into the environment that we eat, breathe and live in yearly. And, much of the food supply contains dyes, preservatives, pesticide residues, nitrates, hydrogenated oils and other agents’ known to have carcinogenic potential. So now more than ever it’s even more crucial to cleanse and detox your body occasionally.

Over time, the buildup of toxins in the body can lead to serious health problems including:

Colon Cleanser

The healthy body contains trillions of friendly microorganisms. A vast majority live in the colon and are referred to as intestinal floral or microflora. At least 400 kinds of microorganisms are found in the gastrointestinal tract; this amounts to about three pounds of bacteria in the intestines at all times.

Their most important role is keeping undesirable bacteria in check.

Common Causes of Bacteria Imbalance

• The most common cause of imbalance between good and bad bacteria is the use of antibiotics.
• age
• poor diet
• low fiber intake
• oral contraceptives
• medications such as aspirin and corticosteroids
• stress
• high sugar intake

Herb-Lax
No colon cleanse program would be complete without Dr. Shaklee’s famous
Herb-Lax formula. Originally formulated in 1917, Herb-Lax has been used effectively by millions of people over the years. It’s designed to encourage a mild cleansing action to aid the body’s natural process. Herb-Lax features a blend of 9 herbs, including senna leaf, which has been used for more than 3,000 years as a natural laxative.

The herbs used in Herb-Lax are not in any way related to the artificial chemical laxatives promoted on television. Those products often irritate the tissue and pull fluid into the bowels forcing it to eject its contents. Artificial laxatives like these can weaken the organs and may causes dependencies, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance.

Instead, Herb-Lax naturally stimulates contraction of muscles with the colon. This allows for better removal of trapped waste and shortens the transit time, giving toxins less time to harm healthy colon tissues and be reabsorbed and circulated throughout the body. Herb-Lax can help improve regularity, reduce body odor*, clear acne*, relieve constipation, expel gas from the stomach and intestines, and normalizes the colon function while it nourishes the bowel.

Blood Cleanser
As far back as 3000 B.C., the Babylonians understood the versatile benefits of garlic. It was well accepted as a medicine for a wide range of applications, including respiratory tract infections, skin disorders, parasitic infections and as an antibiotic and antimicrobial agent.

Today, numerous scientific papers also report on garlic's ability to cleanse the blood and ameliorate heavy metal toxicity, especially against such neurotoxin metals as mercury and cadmium, while another papers described the use of garlic in the treatment of hypoglycemia, intestinal disorders and a wide variety of other medical conditions.

However, not all garlic supplements are the same. Most of the processing methods used today, including crushed garlic powders, garlic oil capsules and aged odorless extracts, reduce or eliminate the allicin content. Allicin is the major active component of garlic and is needed to deliver the many benefits of garlic.

Shaklee’s Garlic Complex utilizes a unique, gentle; temperature controlled drying process, which retains ALL the allicin. The garlic is cooled to a level that temporarily inactivates the enzyme that forms allicin, and it’s only activated when the supplement is digested, providing the maximum benefits of garlic.

Shaklee’s Garlic Complex also has a dual-odor control formulation. Garlic breath” is due to garlic odor from the stomach. Shaklee’s Garlic tablet doesn’t break down until it is past the stomach and into the small intestine. “In addition, it contains a sweet-smelling blend of spearmint and rosemary extract for effective odor control
